LDN Blue 7,903 Posted June 12, 2012 Share Posted June 12, 2012 The problem is, as pointed out by Strike, when you start with players like Drogba you have to ask "what about..". Arsenal have had Henry and co because no-one's really come close to their stature (mind the pun) recently.But we have so many legends to be thankful too that a limit has to be set. Osgood, Harris & Bonetti for now though, that would be a good start (with the latter two). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
capriccioso 2,545 Posted June 12, 2012 Share Posted June 12, 2012 Drogba should get one at some point. Does Osgood need a statue? He's already got his ashes buried underneath the penalty spot, and we could give him the ultimate honour by naming our new stadium (if we build one) or a stand after him.

TorontoChelsea 4,064 Posted June 13, 2012 Share Posted June 13, 2012 Drogba, Lampard and Terry celebrating statue would be legendary !This is exactly it. It's difficult to go and give statues to every individual player, but a statue of some of the Chelsea greats celebrating or just grouped together, I can see. Drogba is a Chelsea legend, but Lampard, Terry, and Cech, and even Cole are all part of this golden generation of players. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ramzi 233 Posted June 13, 2012 Share Posted June 13, 2012 Someone on this forum suggested this before, a statue on four sides of the stadium:The "Spine" of our clubThe Brain - Petr CechThe heart- John TerryThe control- Frank LampardThe power- Didier Drogba Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Term-X 7,891 Posted June 13, 2012 Share Posted June 13, 2012 Ridiculous..This is just like the argument for retiring jersey numbers all over again, we will have a few dozen 'Drogba calibre' players in the next 100 years, who will contribute just as much. If we erected statues this easily, the outside of stamford bridge would start to look like an art exhibit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kojo 4,676 Posted June 13, 2012 Share Posted June 13, 2012 The amount of trophies Drogba has won for us single handedly is unbelievable, the winners and the vital goals to get us into finals and in finals is just unbelievable.Drogbas last kick of the ball is what won us our first Champions League ever.The man deserves a statue above all else, as one of the greatest strikers ever.

If we erected statues this easily, the outside of stamford bridge would start to look like an art exhibit.I very much doubt that, Drogba is a very rare forward who scores those vital goals in big games. 9 goals in 9 finals.He wasn't a goal scoring forward, but goals came with him, he causes the other team problems, and grabbed many assists and worked with the team. That's why many around him scored when he was in the team. He will be very missed, don't think we will ever have a striker like him.I'll be honest i don't think we will ever get a better forward than him, i think we will get a forward who will score more goals but not one as good as him. I think he deserves a statue. Remember he won us the Champions League and it was like a dream how it happened, Theirry Henry might of been a goal machine but when it matters on the big day, he was like a league 1 player compared to Drogba.

Term-X 7,891 Posted June 13, 2012 Share Posted June 13, 2012 If the club was ending today, I would agree with you.If we plan to remain for another 100+ years then it's a no brainer why Drogba shouldn’t have a statue, the outside of the stadium will be littered with them ffs, we'll become a laughing stock. The Henry statue outside the emirates is vulgar, 50 years too soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also to be honest I don't think we'll see a big game striker near his level for decades at the Bridge. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

capriccioso 2,545 Posted June 13, 2012 Share Posted June 13, 2012 Guys, no matter what we do, we've already been bettered http://www.chelseafc...2170586,00.htmlFrench club Levallois Sporting Club play in "Le Stade Didier Drogba". Mind, naming a stadium after a person works far better in languages other than English. Le Stade Didier Drogba, Estadio Vicente Calderon, Estadio Santiago Bernabeu all sound better than Peter Osgood Stadium.Osgood died in 2006, got a statue in 2010.Re-open this thread in 50 years time.I don't even want to think about that day Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

capriccioso 2,545 Posted June 13, 2012 Share Posted June 13, 2012 Why not? Zolayes is 74 and he's (was ) on here. I'll be 68 in 50 years time, probably with a post count of about 8 million Fucking hell, Estadio Peter Osgood sounds infinitely better than even just Osgood Stadium.
