Re: Ronaldinho to Chelsea
No doubt. Mourinho wanted to assemble a winner, Abramovich wants to assemble a fantasy football team with his favorite players (the Sheva disaster) and "stars" (Ballack et al).
Blech. The Chelsea experiment was only interesting when they had an elite coach leading the mishmash. Now that they'll put a puppet in there, it becomes a whole lot less interesting. (Does anyone think the inept Sheva doesn't get a ton of starts? Against ManU, they were playing 10-on-11 even before Mikel got an early shower.)

[/ QUOTE ] An honest question is WTF happened to these two? My best approximation is that Sheva never really recovered from his knee injury (and Drogba seemed to suck up all the "poachers" goals last year) and that Ballack suffered for the same reason Stevie Gerrard struggles for England: As good as he is, Lampard is incapable of sharing central midfield.

Re: Ronaldinho to Chelsea
Also, I really think misassembled squad is a misunderstanding.
In the beginning Mourinho got exactly the players that he wanted and that he knew he could win titles with. Drogba, Essien and Carvalho are great examples. edit: agree with your last post and that Sheva though I think people are too hard on him, is certainly an example of the opposite.
