Didier Drogba

[Daniel1980 1,425]

JT and him are like brothers. Hazard is a fan. Cech, Mikel, Cahill, Ivanovic. Plenty of our players respect him. It's not quite like Seedorf who was gone for a while. Drogba was here just 2 years ago.

But most of the squad still don't know him. Only 3 players in our starting XI played with him--our squad changed that much. Though it's not really the point. My point is, expecting that Drogba would magically rub off his champions' mentality on the players he's never even played with is unrealistic when he isn't even a first team player. He's going to sit on the bench most games. We need leaders in our first team. It's a good thing that our new signings are experienced players who have experience at winning. They have a better chance at transferring their experience to the younger players than Drogba does.

P.s. Seedorf finished his Milan career just 2 years ago too.

DAMN you jose..DAMN you for making our strike force diego costa, lukaku, torres and if we are stuck in the last moments of a game DIDIER DROGBA to maybe pop up in the box... What a no nothing tool jose is!!!

[ulsterchelsea 3,221]

All the fucking moaning about his last kick being Munich and all that. What if his next last kick is to win a second european cup? Will it still be a mistake? Of course not, get over it

[Term-X 7,891]

This isn't the same Didier Drogba though..

As Tomo has mentioned, it took Eto'o a full season to adjust after his retirement from 'competitive' football, it's going to be even more difficult for Drogba, as he'll have less (far less) games to get into the swing of things again.

If he had kept his legacy the way it was, no player in the history of the game could match the way he went out; unless their last kick was to win the World Cup.

Costa, Lukaku, Drogba.

So much better than Torres, Eto'o, Ba. So much.

[CHOULO19 24,332]

Costa, Lukaku, Drogba.

So much better than Torres, Eto'o, Ba. So much.

That's a pretty complete complete strike force. Not in the sense that it has overwhelming quality, but in the sense that the three have different traits and they compliment each other. (Same if you replace Lukaku with Torres).

Chelsea set to re-sign Didier Drogba on one-year contract

[Jype 6,398]

20 goals in 53 games for Galatasaray is not a bad return and the Turkish league is a lot better than people here are giving credit for.

Drogba knows the club and Mourinho inside and out so adaptation would be quick and I feel he can still contribute a lot as a third choice striker / coach. Costa, Lukaku and Drogba would be a perfect strikeforce IMO, though first there's just this small matter off telling Torres he's not wanted anymore and finding him a new club. Easier said than done I'm afraid.

So we will have 4 striker for next season?

[didierforever 7,349]

DD won't just be coning here for only lukaku. He will be a MASSIVE help to costa too. Infact, he night be the difference between a WC costa and a good striker costa.

[DJames 729]

Welcome home DD!!!!! :blue scalf:

[Parky 739]

Come home Drogba. We are waiting for you Sir..

"Didier Drogba’s return to Chelsea on a one-year-contract could be confirmed this week, according to reports in France, with the Ivory Coast striker then set to be offered a coaching role at Stamford Bridge when he retires from playing."

[Strike 7,265]

if Drogba replaces Torres, i'll go into a coma.

[Chelsea? 892]

guess his last kick in a chelsea uniform didn't bring us a CL trophy anymore. That was such a beautiful story
