Didier Drogba

I never doubt his quality and commitment, but yes have to admit, his physical condition might have much worse since the last time he was here. Hope Jose take this into account, whether we have to buy another backup striker.

Its ok we have Torres..

Edit. It was some Nigerian website.

So?

If this is serious then there is a problem, a real problem.

On the contrary. It increases the chances of us getting a decent second striker. There's still time.

But the problem being is it means Torres is staying

Torres is staying anyway. I stopped hoping that he'd leave. But if Drogba really is injured, we might actually get a good substitute striker for Costa, which we desperately need. With all due respect to Drogba, he's no longer good enough or young enough to be our main striker if Costa gets injured/suspended/has a run of poor form.

Last 15 minute player at the moment, looks really really really off the pace.

2 weeks out.

2 weeks out.

You sure? I read 4-6 months somewhere.

[Jype 6,398]

Marca are saying 4-6 months, take that with a pinch of salt for now but gutted if true.

If he really is out for most of the season we'll definitely have to go after another striker now.

[Special Juan 27,439]

Mmm just have wait and see what Jose says about it. If so, get into the market and get someone quick sharp.

[bethos1 802]

We'll have to get another striker if it's true, don't know who we should get though. It's not like there are loads of good strikers available.

2 weeks out.

Only way he will be out for 2 weeks is if he's stretched his ligaments. Judging by his reaction his done far more than that..

[LAM09 6,778]

Reports are, Drogba could be out for 4-6 months.

If that is the case, we HAVE to get another CF.

If he's out for that long it could be a blessing in disguise... Costa, Torres and Drogba is only a marginally better strike force than Eto'o, Torres and Ba.

Wouldn't surprise me if we signed Remy on deadline day if this is a serious injury.
