Chelsea boss Scolari admits Robinho admiration

Chelsea boss Luiz Felipe Scolari admits he's keen to close a deal for Real Madrid dazzler Robinho.

"I think 70 per cent of Brazil is supporting Chelsea. Let's see if it lasts!" laughed Big Phil.

"Robinho is a very good player and I like him but until now there is nothing. I think I am not the only coach who will want to sign him.

"I'm happy with my players at the moment but if we get one or two more, then we'll receive them well.

"I have enough here to win the title. If we lose to Portsmouth then it's not because Robinho isn't here.

"It is because we have not played well."
