Terry "It's definitely got people on their toes and fighting again"

John Terry is featured on the Official Chelsea Website speaking ahead of the impact that David Luiz and Fernando Torres have had on the squad.

Speaking first of Luiz and Torres he said:

The whole squad needed a little bit of competition and we definitely have that with David Luiz and Fernando coming in, It's definitely got people on their toes and fighting for their place again.

When Nico comes in and plays as well as he did against Copenhagen, it causes a problem for the manager for the next game. Who does he drop? Or does he play all three of them? It's a very good problem to have though.

When we see them staying behind after training, Fernando and David Luiz, we are all out there doing extra training with them because we don't want to miss anything.

It's great to have them in because they are two young lads who want to win trophies and want to learn and improve themselves. Because they stay out and do extra work, the defenders stay out and practice their passing and the strikers their shooting. It's very good.

I have said it numerous times but the two signings were fantastic for Chelsea and came at the right time for us. People will continue to knock Torres because of the fee we paid for him. Luiz has impressed everyone with what he brings to the table and with Alex and Yossi Benayoun returning to the squad shortly, we have fantastic options to choose from.

It's great to hear that both are working hard to fit into the squad and the club and the other players have responded in the way they have. This can only be of benefit to us for the remainder of the season.
