Kenyon rules out January buys

Chelsea chief executive Peter Kenyon has revealed the club have no plans to do any business when the transfer window reopens.

Kenyon insists Blues boss Luiz Felipe Scolari is happy with the squad at his disposal and is not seeking any new additions.

Kenyon admits the only prospect of Chelsea entering the transfer market in January will be if they pick up injuries to key players.

When asked if the club would be making any signings in January, Kenyon told Sky Sports News: "Absolutely not."

"It's our intention at the start of the season to put our squad together for the rest of the season so I don't see us being active in the January market.

"I think where we are at the moment I don't think there is a need and unless that changes through events I don't think we look at January as being a time that we would go in unless it is to cover injuries or something of that nature."

Kenyon says Scolari is happy with the club's decision not to bring in any more players when the transfer window reopens.

"I think he is very on board," added Kenyon. "I think he is delighted with the opportunity of joining Chelsea and what he has seen is a club very well structured and that has got immense depth of talent.

"He was party to what we bought in terms of Deco, Bosingwa who obviously is a great addition; we brought in Mineiro until the end of the season in order to cover some injuries we have got.

"I think that has given him confidence that he has got enough cover.

"He is absolutely on the same page in terms of (a) the aspirations of Chelsea and ( what we have got in order to achieve those."

I thought we would have at least looked at another striker.

Don't think we require any players, not if we're to only use one forward in a match.

We'll see if Felipao echoes his sentiments come January... might have a lot of injuries at that point.

Not if we want to give our youngsters chances, too.

But in an away match at Anfield or Old Trafford, would you want di Santo starting up front alone, or the likes of Benzema? If we need a certain position to be filled in January, we should look to buy.

We don't always play difficult team week in, week out. The key players can be rested when we play small teams so they'll be fit for the big ones.

If we always look to buy, then there's no point recruiting youngsters with potential. We'll go outside and buy proven players anyway.

We play Manchester United and Liverpool away in January. I wouldn't want just one fit striker for those games, for example.

I don't think we should buy just because of that. We should try to find an old good striker and have him on loan for a few months. That way the youngsters would (hopefully) get chances, too.

No business in January, is he insane? We are a team that play with 2 wingers and we have no wingers ffs. Kalou and Malouda are inconsistant at the best of times but more times than often they are hopeless. Joe Cole is the only fairly consistant inger we have and hes not really a winger imo and he dont set the world alight. We will not win against the top teams with Malouda and Kalou as 2 of our 3 wingers, no chance. We created nothing today absolutely nothing and liverpool deserved to win. Our wingers are hopeless.
