by Joseph Dempsey

a jaw-dropping £225.76 million on new signings between 2005 and 2007. The club yesterday completed the signing of Bayer Leverkusen's Andre Schurrle for £18 million and you just know there are more high profile names on their way as Roman Abramovich opens his chequebook to fund yet another assault on the title.

Here then, we take you through 5 Signings Jose Mourinho Must Make to Challenge for the Title.
