But what club wouldn't welcome the chance to strengthen their side, what club would turn down the resources Chelsea have?

I always dedicate my goals to my mum. I lost her a couple of years ago. She was my biggest supporter and is always with me.

I don't think Wayne Rooney would be affected if you booed him, that's just how he is, but others go under. They really suffer with it. I think I'm somewhere in the middle... now. I've become tougher as I've got older.

I admit I was somewhat concerned when we started to sign so many players - naturally you are going to worry about whether you can retain your place in the side.

But to be fair, Arsenal are a quality side. They're not where they are by chance - they are not top of the league and unbeaten because they are a bad team.

When I came to Chelsea from West Ham there were certain parts of my game I felt I needed to improve and I like to think now that I have shown dramatic improvement.

The title is still on the cards until it's off the cards.
