Didier Drogba

[ParNolio7 285]

Remy, Bony or Hernandez one of these are the most likely options I guess?

Did we get a buy-back clause for Lukaku? ;-)

It's nothing.

Drogba’s night only lasted 28 minutes after the striker limped off with an injury. He gave an update on his situation afterwards.

‘I twisted my ankle and I couldn’t continue,’ the Ivorian explained. ‘In the next few days we are going to do some treatment and I hope everything will be better.

How do Marca know this before any credible English paper? meh.

They're guessing he's torn his ligaments, which I reckon he has. Time frames for recovery are pretty spot on for that as well.

It sickens me to see people already talking about a replacement for Didier like he's some kind plastic toy which we can replace easily... Some people would be really happy if he was really injured 6 monts.

Yes because people talking about a replacement in case he is badly injured is wrong isn't it? And you would be hard pressed to find anyone who would wish badly on a club legend.

Sometimes I worry about some people on here.

Marca absolutely hate Mourinho and provide anything that could potentially unbalance himself or the club he's managing. (How could they possibly access this information before any English journalism?) Wouldn't be surprised if they made this up aswell as the 70% of bollocks they publish about Mourinho.

how will marca know the english tabloids about DD's length of injury?

dont think he would be gone for 6 months. gods cant be so cruel!!!

[Rambo 1,729]

Based on Drogba's comments it sounds more like 4-6 days than 4-6 months that these "credible" sources have been reporting.

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.

Marginally better??

Costa is a top-class striker which we didn't have last season, whilst Drogba is still a very good box presence.

We're much better in the striking department.

Not sure if this has already been posted.

This is a fantastic photo.... shows how well the new signings have settled in.

Good job all around !

Costa is a massive upgrade but I'm not sold on how much of an impact Drogba will be. Plus José seems set on playing Torres out wide based on what we've seen so far this pre-season.

It's good to see them blending in aswell, rather seeing the brazilians hanging with the brazilians and the Spanish with the Spanish. We have a very diverse group and it's always a warm feeling when you see them mingle with one another as if they've been friends for years. Great way to build chemistry.

[Alee. 182]

If he's out for 4-6 months that means we NEED to buy another striker. Might not be a bad thing if we end up buying a younger more durable striker. Drogba can still work with the team and keep the mood up and then be our impact player at the end of the season.
