Blues transfer spree should worry title rivals
John Terry has warned Chelsea's Barclays Premier League rivals to be very afraid following the champions' record-breaking swoop for Fernando Torres and David Luiz.
Terry believes the £75million double deal proves the Blues are back competing with mega-rich Manchester City in the transfer market, having reined in their spending in recent years.
Torres and Luiz were signed late on transfer deadline day, too late to play in Tuesday`s night's 4-2 win at Sunderland. But both will be available for Sunday's mouthwatering clash with Torres' former club Liverpool.
Chelsea captain Terry said: "To sign Torres and Luiz is a huge statement. It has let everyone know we're in the market again, we're buying and competing with Manchester City, who have been spending an awful lot.
"There is a buzz around the camp and it is great that we're in the market again for two massive signings. No-one is getting too carried away but everyone is upbeat. There is a spring in our step, there is a boost around the club worldwide, not just England.
"It sets a massive tone. From a club point of view, reading things like the Bolton quotes that they didn't fear Chelsea any more - we say don't fear us at your peril."
