Am with kez on this 1, i cant stand the bloke! just who he is pisses me right off. hate his interviews hate it when he has a chance at goal and fucks it up and jumps and rolls as if he should be in hollywood on some action film set!

2 seasons ago he was a very good goal scorer! but for me i still cant see what people see in him?

i have alot of football mates who all support different teams and they all say i am so glad he will never be in my team i just cant watch him play cus how he dives! as a person he is a totally arse from what you see on the tv. on the pitch he can be lazy, dives and moans! he can score the good goals but as a striker he is not what you want.

i may get alot of stick from this but i would love to have a player like torres! i dont mean torres himself but someone with the same work rate. if he loeses the ball he is always after it and is all over the pitch. WE NEED A WORKHORSE NOT A DONKEY!

and i hope Scolari won't stand for his antics and bench him the first time he dives and everyone apart from him knows its a dive! teach him a lesson in how to stand or sit down for the rest of the game!

You don't get what people see in him? I'll recommend you a good optician in Nottingham if you're interested. Drogba is one of the best strikers in the world. Unfortunately he also has a habit of diving. I'm not defending his antics because I dislike them also, but Chelsea with Didier Drogba is a Chelsea stronger than Chelsea without Didier Drogba.

When he wants to be he's one of the best strikers but he doesnt always want to be especially if it aint going his way

yes thats true Chelsea would be stronger with him. cus we have no other strikers! but if Chelsea had someone like torres or eto or villa or kaka or someone who just pld brilliant all the time on the ball and didnt cry every 5mins.!

sorry am just a drogba hater i have not liked him from day 1 as a person! and that has put me off him as a player. its down to having so much stick from mates cus the way he is! and its just horrible to watch 90% of the time

I see your point and I respect your opinion, mate. Everyone's worthy of their own two cents. I agree with you that we need another world class striker. Anelka and Sheva can get you possibly 20 goals a season but they're just not as good as Drogba to warrant a selection in the starting eleven. Eto'o is a player I'd love to see at the Bridge but what puts me off him is that he is African - another player to lose in the Cup of Nations. That being said, him and Drogba upfront would be the greatest strike force in Europe...

maybe thats all dorgba needs a 4 4 2 or something so he is not up front on his own and he has someone else to lay the ball of or get the ball 2 maybe if he has a partener up from he could be seen different in my eyes but untill i see that i want to see something different happen with him

LEt me ell you Toress at his best last year had a goal:match ratio of 1:2 same as Drogba who scored 16 goals in 31 matches inspite of having a one month injury spell and AFNC. And like most im sure you'll agree that Drogba wasnt even at his best.

True, Drogba plays best in a 4-4-2 formation, but last year he did well in a 4-3-3 formation. Honestly, I havent seen a Striker owning defenses like Drogba has. I hope he gets his bearings right this season and pump in another 30 goals.

His attitude stinks and ordinarily I would say sell him straight away as he would command a high price at the moment. But who would you buy to replace him? baring in mind that Torres isn't for sale and cannot hold players off like DD can. Same with Villa. Eto is as much a problem as Drogs, he is gobby and stroppy, but as a foil for DD i think he would be brilliant. But I am just sitting here hopeing upon hope that Sheva finds himself again and shuts the whole football world up, well you never know, stranger things have happened.

Didier, on his day, is the best striker in the world, bar none. It's simple, no other player in the world has such a great combination of skill, superhuman strength and such a great shot - the only ability I feel he lacks in comparison to Ronaldo or Kaka (who others would class as the best in the world) would be pace, but he's fast enough for the position he plays.

He is an ego, but Scolari's got balls. Hopefully Scolari can tame Drogba and actually make him feel wanted, it's something I think he could probably do really well. Something I feel Drogba lacked with Grant that he had with Mourinho was respect, and I'm pretty sure he respects Scolari.

The price that is going around for Drogba is £24m, which I see as stupid as it's how much we bought him for, and he's improved a hell of a lot. And if Adebayor can be valued at £36m, Drogba should be somewhere in the £40m - £50m range.

Lastly, as Stamford said, who would replace him? Eto'o is worse than him, Torres isn't for sale, Villa, despite a great Euros, isn't the player Drogba is (although I do think he could fit into Scolari's system) and that is it really, unless we buy Milito from relegated Zaragoza (which tbh, I really wouldn't mind at all as he's a great player) - there's simply no one good enough.

I say we risk it, keep him, let Scolari work his magic, and watch us win countless trophies for the next few years with him as our main striker!

Spot on. Drogba is a massive personality, and Scolari won't stand for it. Didier has but one choice - play, and play well, or rot in the reserves.

We're Chelsea fans, wouldn't expect any less myself. We're one of the best at knee-jerking actions, don't you know...
