Didier Drogba

[TacticalBlues 2,817]

"We [Drogba and his Chelsea team-mates] will not be together next season," he was quoted saying in France Football magazine.

"As I have decided to leave, I wanted to tell them to their faces. They made me break down. I found it hard to admit that it was finished with me and the club.

Fellow striker Fernando Torres recently complained of having to start Saturday’s victory over Bayern Munich on the bench with the Ivorian starting, and Drogba believes the pair’s roles will soon swap.

He added: "I don't envisage sitting on the bench watching others play at a time when the club is looking at putting together a new team.

"So there we go, I am readying myself for a great leap into the unknown. It will be another adventure."

Oh mann

We will never have another striker like DD. Not only was his game complete, but he was a true leader in the locker room.

Farewell Drogba...shame I couldn't watch you play live in person.

this useless Spud knows nothing, clearly knows nothing about Drogba either.

It's a big honour that I saw Drogba playing in his best years.

It makes sense to leave on a high, it's a great way to bow out.. he deserves it.

On a side note, check out the 'updated' photo on the drogba wiki page..

[J.F. 1,484]

He deserve more than 'thank you'.

It's also fitting that he is leaving on 'free transfer' because one cannot put a price tag on his contributions to this club.

[Pizy 18,850]

He deserves a stand in his name at Battersea Bridge when/if we move there.

I really want a statue of him made. As I love doing, I might start a petition.

Greatest African footballer I've ever seen. He's one of the few irreplaceable players in this world.

Not one defender in history has been able to handle him. Not one striker in history has bullied defenders the way he can.

I've got a lump in my throat now.

Will miss him sorely.

[TacticalBlues 2,817]

Can't we give him a send off. The UCL win was fitting, but I mean like a small little ceremony style thing like what Hazard had yesterday for Lille.

[Rambo 1,729]

He will get a statue in front of our new stadium within 5-10 years.

How about a testimonial against Arsenal?
