capriccioso

Perhaps, but they're still 'common' clothing. It's not that long ago that he was refused entry to an away executive box because he refused to change out of jeans.

Transfers are immaterial, we operate with a Director of Football. All he'll do is tell Emenalo which positions he wants the strengthened and our resident Nigerian witch doctor (no offence intended, I meant it in an endearing manner) will do the rest.

What does Arkady mean? Anyway, Roman is a colossus. Coolest billionaire on the planet, look at him, he doesn't care at all, he turned up in a cheap cardigan and jeans. He's still the street orphan that he was back in the 80s. Respect to the Big Boss, as Drogba calls him. Edit: Ah fuck, I'm an idiot, Arkady is his son's name

Nike are absolutely rubbish. Also, in that picture, Torres looks like something out of a book that Spike Spiegel might read.

Fair point but Kalou's not on that much comparatively. 60,000 a week is more or less average for a player who has a full trophy cabinet to his name. Someone like Galatasaray would pay handsomely.

If he goes to the MLS, perhaps we can do what AC Milan did with David Beckham and get him on loan for those cup finals and important last 3-4 months of the season. One can always hope, I suppose. I hope he does link up with the club again one day, in any capacity. Even as a part time scout. Didier

What I will miss most is that unshakable self confidence and willpower he had. Who else would play with a broken arm or malaria?

It's 4 am in Australia and the sadness is keeping me awake

Lukaku, after about 3-4 years can take it.

Many a club are interested in him if current speculation is to be believed. If all else fails he can be dressed up as a CL winner and sold to a Turkish club for around 6-7 million.

Thanks for that

I think we have to give him 2 or 3 years. That way if he isn't required next summer or the summer after we can get some money for him rather than watch him walk away for free. More importantly, 2-3 years gives me time to head over to London to watch him live at the Bridge.

As I said earlier, he deserves more than a statue. He deserves a monument, a stand of the new Battersea stadium to be named after him. I really do hope he comes back one day as a coach or even as manager.

Check BlueMoon. Overwhelmingly supportive of us pre-match.

Agreed, it was one of those penalties that could just have easily hit row Z. Has anyone got a .gif of the penalty?

You bastard! I'll be crushed if he leaves along with Drogba.

He had better get a new deal or else

This was his best goal at the club: http://video.google....162429500771072 Made an utter mug out of Puyol and the other Barca defender that night.

That's the one. Give him a wig and try to hide his face as much as possible and no one will know the difference

Someone massive to play Drogba. That big guy, ex-NFL player from Everybody Hate's Chris. Can't remember his name, though.

And thus ends one of my life dreams. To see Drogba live in the flesh at Stamford Bridge. Ah well, I'll settle for Kalou.

I don't think he would ever go there. He's leaving for first team football, he won't get it at Barcelona. We can also rule out Russia as a vocal minority of its football fans are batshit racist and he has a young family that he wouldn't want to expose to an environment so foreign to England. A swansong season or two at his beloved Marseille, and then a testimonial with us and Marseille, followed by Brazil 2014. What a career it has been, I wish him well in his future endeavours even if he chooses Barcelona.

Where to, Didier? I hope he doesn't finish in a graveyard like Qatar, UAE or China. One last bang somewhere in Europe. Perhaps France. And what does this mean for our future? Who can fill Drogba's stadium sized boots? Lukaku, Torres or Sturridge? Or a new signing? So many questions...

Drogba 10-1 Arsenal. Drogba 10-1 Spurs Drogba 10-1 Liverpool It'll take those clubs years to equal what Drogba did in 8 years.
