Luiz Felipe Scolari today insisted he is not upset at missing out on the signing of Robinho and believes Chelsea's squad will win the title without him.

Chelsea lost out on the Real Madrid winger to Manchester City's British record £32.5million bid on the final day of the transfer window.

The 24-year-old was one of just two players Scolari had ordered Chelsea to get after being appointed in June and chief executive Peter Kenyon was locked in negotiations with the Spanish club for weeks.

It has been reported that Scolari was left seething after seeing Robinho end up at Eastlands, but he is adamant that the Brazilian is no great loss because of the quality he already has at Stamford Bridge.

He said: "I have many great players and I am very happy with my team. I am receiving new players from injuries as Didier Drogba will be back soon and John Obi Mikel is recovering well.

"Michael Ballack and Michael Essien played with injuries but both are getting better. They are an example of the fantastic characters I have in my squad.

"I have seen the newspapers and that they say I am unhappy or angry with the club. These statements are not true at all. I have not said this and I do not think this. I am very happy with this situation.

"I talk to only a few people about my team, all inside the club. Other people have been quoted saying they know what I think or feel, but they do not know. Only my close team knows."

But Scolari did blast Robinho's agent Wagner Ribeiro, accusing him of just looking for the most money - and not the best club.

He added: "I don't think the people around Robinho were serious about him coming to Chelsea.

"They were more interested in the best business deal. But what I've said before about Robinho I say again now. He's a very good player. I only wish him the best."

City have sold an extra 2,000 season tickets on the back of the Brazilian's arrival and boss Mark Hughes has admitted that while he will continue to look for value, he is prepared to pay over the odds if it means getting the right man.

"We will try to get value if we can but if we feel the right player is attainable and we have to pay extra, we have the means to do it," he said.

"I have heard there are no limits but we will also look for good young players because I feel that is the right thing to do."
