A news conference was arranged at short notice when an offer was accepted for Ricardo Carvalho with the Sol Campbell also included in the deal.
Manager Robertson walked in to the room, one of the News Hounds joked before he could get to his chair
“Spending more rubles Stewart”
Robertson -
“Not at all in fact I’ve made some excellent signings and even made some money. First off I’d like to introduce Sol to the Chelsea fans, I’ve been a long time admirer and when the chance to bring him here came up I grabbed it. Ricardo has been an excellent player but with a cash offer and sol how could I refuse.
Also we have secured Cassano Antonio from Roma a 30 million pound rated forward, Victor from Deportivo and Nakamura Shunsuke from Reggina for the start of next season all at no cost but there contracts.”
New Hound-
“Will this mean Chelsea are getting close to your perfect squad”
Robertson-
“Not at all, I imagine that there will be one or possibly two world class signing when the summer window opens but I’m incredibly lucky at the squad I have and improving on them is a difficult task only the right pieces will fit the puzzle and I know just who I want”
News Hound-
“Would you concede that the title is now yours with the opposition being poor this season?”
Robertson-
“I would never concede, these are excellent clubs that are chasing us and yes We may look too strong and too classy and teams like Man-U, Newcastle, Arsenal may have lost points and look out of the race but we still have to win it as its still all to play for”
News Hound-
“Are you happy that you’re getting you moneys worth with the reported figures being 119 million spent this season alone”
Robertson
“Were sitting first in the League by a good margin and still in the Champions league, so yes I think weve progressed well and achieved what was expected so far, we sold 20.5 million worth of players and strengthened every position and if that’s the cost and the club can afford it then that’s Chelsea’s prerogative”
