Robinho is final Blues target

Chelsea chief executive Peter Kenyon believes the capture of Robinho will be the final piece of the jigsaw needed for Luiz Felipe Scolari to bring success to Stamford Bridge.
Kenyon confirmed on Monday that he had opened negotiations with Real Madrid for the Brazil international forward.
Robinho could cost the Blues around £30million and Kenyon has admitted the capture of the 24-year-old forward would be their final signing of the summer.
New Chelsea coach Scolari has already seen Portuguese duo Deco and Jose Bosingwa join the club this summer.
"I think as far as Robinho is concerned it is quite right he has been one of our targets," Kenyon told Chelsea TV.
"We have had several conversations with Madrid and he is a player we think that would add a great deal to Chelsea.
"We have got a fantastic squad and that has been strengthened with Bosingwa and Deco and I think the coach was just looking for one more to complete what he thinks is the perfect squad.
"There is still a long way to go on that one, but we are very, very interested and the clubs are in dialogue."
