Even with Viera, we were not gonna better that Chelsea side, lets be honest. What that side needed when Viera left was another bonafide striker.

And I know many won't agree with this, but the loss of Reyes was huge, when you couple that with the loss of Pires, and the decline of Freddie, it was too much too soon.
