Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho is delighted with their new-look attack. Mourinho's side finished third in the title race, despite Fernando Torres, Samuel Eto'o and Demba Ba claiming just 19 Premier League goals between them.
But Torres' exit to AC Milan on loan has allowed Mourinho to bring in QPR's £10.5million Loic Remy to join Diego Costa and Didier Drogba at Stamford Bridge. Mourinho said: "We had a good group of strikers last season, but we changed three for three and we believe these three give us more.
"The main difference between Torres and Remy is Nando was here for a few years, and Remy has just arrived.
"It's a new life for him. For Fernando, it would be the same life he had had for previous years.
"Nando was a fantastic guy, a fantastic professional. His career here was not super-successful but, at the right moment, in important moments, he was there many times and we like him a lot.
"But Remy was one of the players we had in our objectives, one of the players we had ready to try and get in case a space opened.
"So now we have a guy like Didier, a kind of striker for whom the box is his natural habitat, the best of the three in the air.
"Remy is very fast, he attacks spaces, he can play even from the sides like he does for France, coming in from the right or, with Alan Pardew at Newcastle, from the left.
"And Diego is a player we were chasing for about a year, waiting to get him, and we think he's a player very adapted to the style of play we want to implement in the team.''
