Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho took a thinly-veiled swipe at his big-name signings after yesterday's 1-1 draw at Arsenal.
Though refusing to mention names, the Chelsea manager clearly believes individuals have contributed to the Premiership title leaving Stamford Bridge for the first time since his arrival in the summer of 2004.
The Guardian says the unnamed culprits are likely to have been Andriy Shevchenko and Michael Ballack, who enraged Mourinho with their reactions to injury problems at this crucial stage of the season.
"This was a game for people who want to succeed in this Chelsea," said Mourinho. "That's Mr Abramovich's Chelsea; he's the owner, but in the Chelsea of the dressing room where there are human and professional relationships, somebody who wants to succeed in this dressing room will have to look at this game.
"That is how to understand why some have success and others have no success.
"Go to any club and analyse player by player and look at the contribution they give in a season: it's obvious at every club why you have a player of the season. I think it's obvious. Some have 20,000 votes, some have 20 votes and others get zero votes."
