Chelsea<\/a> manager Andre Villas-Boas<\/a> says he intends to do \u201cproper business\u201d in the transfer market once the club’s pre-season tour of the Far East is over.<\/span><\/p>\nThe London club arrived in Malaysia ahead of the Barclays Asian Cup and will spend two weeks training and playing matches for their fans based abroad.<\/span><\/p>\nThe Portuguese coach, 33, joined Chelsea last month from Porto but has yet to make any high-profile signings since his arrival, although the club are interested in Tottenham midfielder Luka Modric.<\/span><\/p>\nWhen asked about the 25-year-old Croatian, the Blues boss was quoted as saying by The Mirror<\/em>: \u201cI think I have answered that question enough.<\/span><\/p>\n\u201cWe do not have the same sense of urgency that you are trying to put on me. It is a big 15 days and then we will go to the market and do some proper business.<\/span><\/p>\n\u201cThe market has plenty to offer. We have to decide on our needs but we will not be putting players to the test because they are top quality. By the time we go to the market we will know exactly what we need.”<\/span><\/p>\nWhilst in the Far East, the Blues will play matches against a Malaysian XI, followed by Thailand All Stars and finally Hong Kong champions Kitchee.<\/span><\/p>\nThe Chelsea boss told local journalists in Malaysia: \u201cIt is nothing new that top European teams move abroad, to show themselves to the fans based abroad.<\/span><\/p>\n\u201cIt will be an intense 15 days and it doesn\u2019t matter if you do it in Asia, Europe or America, but it is important to touch the people who love us.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\nThe Portuguese coach is happy to let his players keep the \u2018untouchable\u2019 tag they held under former manager \u2013 and ex-mentor for the current Chelsea boss \u2013 Jose Mourinho.<\/span><\/p>\nHe added to the club’s official website: \u201cUntouchable is a person who continuously performs at a high level. Based on the trophies these players have won before and the success they have had, aren’t these the players you want in the end?<\/span><\/p>\n\u201cAs long as people are able to perform in training and to a level of performance that is high, I don’t see why it shouldn’t happen.<\/span><\/p>\n\u201cThe most important thing for a leader is to be coherent in the decisions that he takes and it’s a principle I cannot let go.<\/span><\/p>\n\u201cI have to keep the standards high. Any person who sits on the manager’s job at Chelsea is expected to win.
