Reportedly Drogba will move to Anderlecht :confused:

Ugh, that site annoys me on a daily basis.

They announce about 400 transfers every week and none of them ever happens.

April fool's in that case ... but yea it's an aggregator not bothered by quality.

I despise the term 'link up play'. Well in saying that I dislike most modern football terminology; especially when people refer to a position or style as a number.

I hate terms from FM like DLP and Anchor. Ugh.

I hate terms from FM like DLP and Anchor. Ugh.

• He is more a #8 than a #10
• Double pivot
• Free flowing football
• false nine
• Italian words like 'regista' and 'trequartista'
• Form is temporary, calss is permanent

And the rest.

Over / Under : DD to score 2 goals rest of the way?

I say over.

Under, even with Costa injured. I don't think he would play a lot.

I just hope he'll score just one last goal before the season ends.

Think he will play, especially in the United and Arsenal games. We are short in options, we only have Cuadrado, Drogba, Rambo/Oscar as our attacking players from the bench.

I'd say max 2 goals in the remaining 8 games for him. One late winning goal vs Arsenal would be a dream.

[lucio 5,418]

I hope he won't play at all. Remy needs to be first choice in all the games coming up , until costa is fit

[CFC888 219]

Want him to play in the big games coming up, but not instead of Remy. Maybe he could play #10?

Please no. The midfield will be crippled by his lack of pace. 4-4-2 might be good though

If you look at the two men who have played there the most this season though, Fabregas isn't quick either and Oscar is hardly a speed demon. Willian is the only #10 we've played with this season who has speed as one of his big attributes - and he's played there significantly less than the other two.

Absolute pointless signing this season I think other than him being in the dressing room. Hopefully he will retire and become a coach next year though. Anyone else think Danny Ings would be a viable option for third choice next year on a free transfer or is it just me?

Repeat FK goal from '09 in front of the away fans would be fitting

That alone is enough to refute your statement that it was a pointless signing. He's scored some useful goals and is a Chelsea legend with experience and an infectious personality that I'm sure have been invaluable to our playing group this season. As far as I'm concerned, Didier deserves his EPL Champions medal as much as many others in our squad who may have contributed more on the field, because his impact off the field this season has no doubt been immense.

[MrBlueGuy 1,552]

Needs to retire or he will actually hold us back next season. We need to sign a proper backup/challenger to Costa like Lacazette. Remy can be our Drogba this season.

He could of been in the dressing room as a coach though, which would of made more sense considering how poor he's been in pretty much every game he's played. He's obviously kept in good shape but we can't play around a 37 year old CF, to his strengths, when we have classy players like Fabregas, Hazard, Matic, Costa... he doesn't suit this team as much as Remy or Costa. So that alone is not enough to refute my statement because hes been a pretty pointless signing in terms of performances.
