Found it.

The Ivory Coast forward's last act in a Chelsea shirt was scoring the winning penalty in the Champions League final defeat of Bayern Munich in May.

One of his first games will be against Manchester United with Alex Ferguson's team playing Shanghai Shenhua on 25 July as part of their pre-season tour.

imagine if they would have played arsenal...

Call me selfish, but I'm happy that he didn't sign for Real or Juve. Chelsea will remain his last big club to play for

Good luck, champ! And thank you. Thank for raising the blue flag so high.

Ciao Drogba you will be forever in our hearts :-)

love u DD.

What's the point Didier? You're going to go over there and score about 5 goals a match against those Asian defenders who get out muscled by Josh Kennedy.

Remember our Asia tour in pre-season. DD never tried to bully the defenders, but tried to use his movement in the box to score. He only got one in four(?) matches.

Agreed. He wouldn't have moved to an english club but would have hated playing against him next season lined up for juventus or real madrid or someone.

Also cannot argue with him moving there for a last big payday given his charity commitments.

Real, real class act and Chelsea legend!

SO glad he's moved to China. Would be unbearable to see him competing in Europe and potentially against us after such legendary service to the club. Thank you Drogba!

China is different, the defenders there are well known for being easily bullied; unlike say Korea, Thailand or Japan where they're a fair bit bigger.

Fucking hurt moving this into 'Ex Blues'

Forever Blue!

Shanghai Shenhua finished signing with Didier Drogba and he will join the team after June 30, 2012 when his contract with current club expires. (He's still ours at the moment)

Drogba fails to pass a medical in China... because his blood was found to be blue. :cfc:

[Kez 2,727]

Didier Drogba 2004 - 2012. Wow there's reality for you right there. Good bye Drogba, we will never forget what you done for this club! Best of luck in China.

[BlueLion. 21,491]

Technically he is still a Blue for another nine days! But seeing the confirmation of him leaving is a saddening sight.
