Chelsea manager Avram Grant has revealed that he wants to bring South American superstars Kaka and Lionel Messi to Stamford Bridge.

The Blues boss has already pledged to spend big in this summer's transfer market and has now made the unusual step of naming two of his top targets.

Milan ace Kaka is the current World Player of the Year, while gifted young Argentina international Messi regularly lights up Camp Nou with his stunning displays for Barcelona.

Grant has struggled to win over sections of the sceptical Chelsea support who feel he has failed to match up to the standards set by Jose Mourinho.

The Israeli's only realistic hope of silverware this season now appears to be the Champions League, with an enthralling clash with Premier League rivals Liverpool on the horizon.

Monday's 1-1 home draw against Wigan left Chelsea five points adrift of Manchester United in the Premier League title race, and Grant has vowed to act ahead of next season.

He told the Daily Star: "We need to do something. We want to be more consistent and of course I need players who can help with this.

"Will it take a flair player like Kaka or Messi? I will not reject that one of those names will be here.

"Will they come? I think so, yes. This is a big club."

He added: "Only one team can win the Champions League. Only one team can be champions of England.

"You think players will only come to these two teams? No.

"It's not about how many players - it's about which player you can bring. We want a different style of football. If a player is good for this, we want to take him.

"I am already planning. We're speaking about it all the time for the long and short-term."

The fish doll wants some of what Grant's been smoking. 

Here we go again, marca wrote that since R10 is joining Milan, Kaka could leave and go to Chelsea or ... Madrid, because they are incompatible 

Don't they both play for Brazil together...

I thought AS(hole ) was the biggest BS paper in spain

Maybe this isn't as crazy as some of you are thinking. Do you not remember the likes of Mutu, Veron, Crespo, Drogba and co. joining Chelsea when Roman first took over?

I don't know how much you knew about pre-Roman Chelsea, but it'd be the equivilent of Kaka', Robinho, Ronaldinho, etc. going to a team like Fiorentina or Everton this summer. So crazier things have happened at Chelsea.

I was just naming players, that's all. But Ronaldinho is sh!t, he doesn't deserve to be in the same sentence as Kaka', Robinho.

!?!??? How is Ronaldinho ****? He is not a great professional yeah but what does that have to do with his quality as a player!? He was (among) the (very) best player(s) two (and 3, 4) seasons ago... Robinho will never be half as good as Ronaldinho used to be.

I think he's been terrible this season. I don't care how he used to be, he's not good enough anymore, not in my opinion. Right now I'd rather have Robinho than Ronaldinho, that is for sure.

Pre-Roman Chelsea were anything from 4th to 6th. A team that would usually play in the UEFA Cup but sneak a place in the CL every now and then (Not unlike Everton and Viola). Newcastle also made the latter stages of the CL in the mid-90s. But they aren't exactly buying Drogba are they.

Well who you'd rather have is irrelevant to what you said before. In my opinion it's unfair to judge a player on his current condition and say he is ****... in the same sense, Pirlo, Carragher or whoever else are also ****.

I don't like R20 either but he was at the top for 4 years, he was not one-hit wonder...

Having said that, no one can deny Ronaldinho. He has won all that there is to win for Barcalona. He is an exceptional player (no doubt) who is currently off form. It happens to the best of players, having said that I'm sure that a change of scenery would do him a world of good. Plus the fact that he plays for AC Milan is a motivation in itself.

He has done nothing all season, so to me - at the mooment - yes, he is ****. There is no reason he won't be the same next season, whereever he ends up, or the season after that.

Sheva was no one-season wonder either, but as much as I like him, I'd agree that he's been useless since his move to Chelsea.

I don't agree, how can call someone s*** when he scores 8 goals in 17 games/half games, actually I think R10 doesn't want to play and that's why he's not giving 100% every match, even wit his current form the guy scores every 2 matches, I wonder what do you think about henry's season?

Everyone can deny Ronaldinho. No one is so great to be able to change clubs at whatever time he feels like! Especially someone who has been on the decline for the past two seasons! He used to be an exceptional player and you can't just say off-form... it's his lack of professionalism that has led him at this point and it is just his fault. Also, no one can guarantee that R20 would not do the same at Milan...

Henry this season, and last season for that matter, very average.

"R10 doesn't want to play and that's why he's not giving 100% every match" - This is exactly why you do not buy this player. What if he just doesn't feel like playing away to Catania or whoever, in front of 10,000 fans? It wouldn't surprise me.

8 goals in 17 games? Come on, how many were not free-kicks or penalties? Even Matrix scored 10 goals last season.

@dst. I agree Matrix hasn't been that good this season, but he's missed alot of it through injury.

SO HAS RONALDINHO!!!!!!! HE'S MADE ONLY 17 APPEARANCES FFS

Exactly, and what did I say? "MATRIX HAS NOT BEEN GOOD THIS SEASON" so you're basically agreeing with my assessment of Ronaldinho!

I agree Ronaldinho hasn't been good this season [due to injury, lack of motivation, whatever...] but I don't see a reason why he can't get back to 100% again. NO ONE knows whether he'll be able to do that in Milan, neither me nor you, even R7 can't tell. but to say he's finished forever while he's only 28 is absurd. if this transfer didn't turn out to be what we expected, fvck it! we could do a Rivaldo to him 

I do agree with R7, redbabies, Morgoth, dst and yourself about R10s past. You don't become World Player of the Year twice for nothing, but he has been poor on and off the football field this season. None of us know how he well turn out and my worry is that because he is such a big name, the management may feel he is the only signing we need in attack - but because of this season, it'd be a big risk if he didn't come good for us.

But if he moves to Milan, no one can say for certain how he will perform.

Same is happening to Dinho, he has been injured and still managed to score 9 goals, and he's not a striker!

now, we need to show them whose the BOSS OF MILAN city, and remined them that in the city of fashion they're nothing more than a minority! 

I'm not a member of the board so I don't know what's going on. I haven't ever seen Ronaldinho let alone speak to him... but if I was a board member and had a doubt over him then I would let Inter have him and let them boast all they want!

It’s a psychological defeat if they beat us in Dinho race. They would make us feel inferior to them in terms of transfers and success, and I hate to loose against them even in the transfer of a Serie C player.

I'm just saying that I would not get anyone JUST to beat the merda in it...

after all these rumours, tell me would you like Dinho to end-up at Merda at the end of the day?

that'd be worse than all Ibra, Suazo, Vieira!

And you see, they signed Suazo and he didn't produce what they expected, at least he should have been favoured to Cruz. But no, he's staying on the bench, and there are even whispers that he'll leave.
