True statement, but you have to look at his age to consider the facts. At some point in time, we are going to have to buy a decent striker to replace him. Carlo can't go all out and say "we won't buy anyone in January." Looking at our form of late, you can state quite clearly that we do need to buy someone. There are plenty of decent names out there, "Aguero, Benzema (although he has regained some form at Madrid), Tevez (might want to return to his family in Argentina), Neymar, Lukaku" Drogba however, may be 32, but I still believe he's the best striker in the Premiership, not just because he scores goals, but because he has the strength to hold off players and go for goal, and he's been here long enough to bond with the other long-term players. The bottom line is, it's players like him (as well as Lampard, Terry, Essien) that attract other top names to our club, because everyone praises him for who he is... a prolific goalscorer.
