But what club wouldn't welcome the chance to strengthen their side, what club would turn down the resources Chelsea have?
Chelsea are a massive family, that is the great thing about the club.
It's a massive club, and I am proud to sign for Chelsea, and I'm looking forward to playing.
Chelsea is a big club, a club that has given me the opportunity to play as a starter, to grow even more.
Many, many of the teams respect Chelsea. Chelsea is a big club. It doesn't matter the position of the table: the respect is always there.
There are only two ways for me to leave Chelsea. One way is in June 2010 when I finish my contract and if the club doesn’t give me a new one. It is the end of my contract and I am out. The second way is for Chelsea to sack me. The way of the manager leaving the club by deciding to walk away, no chance! I will never do this to Chelsea supporters.
I do understand Chelsea are a big club, and there is always pressure on managers to win games and trophies. So I understand they might not be willing to take a chance on someone at a bigger club.
I don't understand what's going on behind the scenes fully, but Chelsea's a massive club, and I understand why chances don't come so often.
When you've played at a club like River, who are a massive, massive club in Argentina - and Roma, the same, in Italy - you learn how to deal with the pressure. After that, you can live with anything.
It's tough being at Chelsea. I work hard every day in training. It's a massive club with really good players, so you don't get the opportunity every weekend.
An organization is really a factory for producing new ideas and for linking those ideas with resources - human resources, financial resources, knowledge resources, infrastructure resources - in an effort to create value. These are processes that you can map, with results that you can measure.
I have always known that I've got the ability to play in a big club like Chelsea.
Everyone thinks that Fight Club is a very important and successful film, but it was a massive box-office failure. Massive. It was a big flop by any commercial-release standard. And it's been a huge hit on DVD. Everything that movie has become has been on DVD. So you can't stake your sense of creative success on this whole box-office-performance matrix, because if you do, you're going to be disappointed most of the time.
Chelsea is a massive club, you aim to win the Premier League or are challenging for trophies with the aim to win everything.
I would never regret joining a club like Chelsea, and hopefully I will be a long time at Chelsea.
Chelsea are a big club - we have to win titles and to qualify for the Champions League. There's a lot to do, but we'll try to do it all.
