CHELSEA CONFIRM INTEREST IN PELE

Last updated : 18 December 2003 By Editor

Oh and they’d buy Ruud as well. Chelsea's acting chief
executive, Paul Smith: "If Pele was on the market today for
£100m then we'd maybe go for him, but we won't pay £30m for
Joe Nobody.

"If Ruud van Nistelrooy was priced at £60m and we considered
it a good investment, then we would probably pay that.

"It's not about the fee but about getting good value. We
want the right quality and the right value.''
