Drogba asked Torres how his goal record has come along since he left. Torres did not find that question amusing.

Nah, his last kick of the ball for Chelsea should always be the CL winner.. That's how you end an era.

Even at the age of 37, Didier is still one of the world's strongest players with his back to goal. He will at the very least help up establish a direct game if/when that situation arises.

true

I agree about them being different players, my worry was it took Eto'o adapting time so Didier being 4 years older and less games due to Costa he will probably need even more re adapting time after so long out of a major league.

Eto had never played in the PL before .

How do you know he can still offer anything at this level.. do you seriously believe he can slot right in and do the job when called upon. Because let's face it, he's going to get far less game time than Eto'o, and it took him a while. I'm starting to believe this 'coaching role' is just to save his blushes; so when he fails to deliver, he's not going to be sent packing in an undignified way.

You must really think Jose and the Board are a bunch of morons. Do you really think Drogba is being brought back to be anything more than 3rd/4th choice striker? He's a big presence that can address many needs first and foremost is the presence he will bring to the training ground and in the locker room. We lost Frank and also Ash as well as Luiz, we are short in the category of leadership, Drogba gives us that in droves. He also provides us with a direct option in attack, there are few CF in the world even to this date that can provide the aerial ability and back to goal strength Didier can provide... He's not a superstar but definitely still a physical beast.

I'm good with this if Drogba is being brought back to mentor and lead. With Lampard and Cole leaving, it's not a bad idea to have someone who other players can look up to and he could help Lukaku a lot. If he's brought back to play, it's a bad move. His excellent play in the Cups, disguised what was some pretty poor play from Drogba his last couple of years at Chelsea. 16 goals in 50 games is not good. He's 36 years old and hasn't really been an impact player in about 5, 6 years. I can see him as a sub in a game where we want a striker who can defend late or we need someone who is an aerial threat, but I don't think he should even make the bench most games.

I think this will be more to help Lukaku and to be a coach rather than needing to play. Obviously it would be great to see him play against Arsenal again though. I'd rather his last kick for us stay that kick from 12 yards in Germany.

In case DD is returning I think oscar should switch to the #8 and DD gets his old #11. However, shirt numbers are the least of my concerns. I'm not sure about DD's form, He is 36 now and has't played a lot of competitive football and thats what worries me.
