Chelsea manager Andre Villas-Boas has warned Arsenal coach Arsene Wenger that the Blues will continue to splash the cash in pursuit of the Premier League title.

Wenger has accused Chelsea of "financial doping" in the past in frustration at their policy of spending vast sums on signing players.

Chelsea paid a British record ufffd50 million ($80m) to sign Fernando Torres from Liverpool and Wenger believes that kind of wild spending distorts the transfer market and makes for an unfair Premier League title race. "We're able to move on the market in one way and Arsenal are able to move in another way. They are able to find amazing young talents. It is almost two different cultures," Villas-Boas said.

"We just have to respect how people go about their business. For us in the end it is just to be in top spot in the Premier League when the fixtures finish.

"I respect what he does and if he doesn't respect what we do, then there is nothing wrong with that. It is just his opinion."
