Terry insists Chelsea are ready to scrap

CHELSEA skipper John Terry believes Luiz Felipe Scolari's players will be scrapping for places when their pre-season tour of China gets under way.

The Barclays Premier League runners-up will play the first of three games in Asia next week followed by the Railways Cup in Russia, with Scolari still shaping his squad after taking over from Avram Grant.

"We are all professionals and, with the new manager, all of the players will want to impress him to make sure we are a part of his plans," Terry said on official website www.chelseafc.com.

Scolari's squad has been bolstered by Portuguese duo Jose Bosingwa and Deco while he has been linked with a move for Real Madrid forward Robinho.
