My target was not to justify selling Patrick Vieira. He was a tremendous player and you never lose a player like Patrick without suffering a bit.

We'll welcome Patrick back to his favorite ground like we do all players who've done so well. We won't make it easy for him.

There is a long way to go but Chelsea are in a fantastic position. They can only lose it now because they have already won it,

I felt this was a game we were unlucky to lose.

I like the player and I am interested in him, yes. It's a massive gamble because no matter how many qualities you have...he is only 16 years of age. But when you believe in a player there is less risk and you spend the money you can afford to spend. In his case it would be a massive amount of money for a boy of his age. You either go with it or not.

He's more a mobile player than an impact player. If we had a pitch 10 yards longer and wider, he would be unbelievable. He can run unbelievably.
