Didier Drogba

It looks like Anelka still want Drogba at his team!

Can we give Drog a contract extension so we can sell him for a little money?

Didier wants contract for more than just a year. The day when he leaves, will be one of the worst in my life.

Yes I will miss Drogba hope he becomes a manager some day so I can see him at Chelsea FC once more him and Lampard are true legends - too bad that everyone ages and at some point you need to let them go.

He can take Malouda too in a 'Buy 1 Free 1' purchase.

Sometimes I just can't believe that we're about to let Drogba just walk away from the club. You don't get a player like that too often.

I still remember how John Terry remarked at the start of the 2009 season, that Christiano Ronaldo leaving Manchester United and us holding onto Didier would prove key. When it comes to these players, what separates them from the rest is not just the skill and the ability, its their attitude.

From the current crop, Danny Sturridge looked like something special at the start of the season, but I'm not so sure at the moment. He may step up in the future, but who's going to be our big game player next season?

5 year deal please, Roman!

He deserves an extension.

He's 34!!! It's not as if he's 25. And we did offer him a 1 year extension. There is absolutely no way in hell that we should consider giving him a 2 year deal. If he wants to leave then let him. Time to move on unfortunately

[CHOULO19 24,332]

We can't keep him just so he can play at wembley and the odd big CL match. Him leaving will clear out a spot for a striker that will show up in every game.

I will be the happiest I've ever been if we can get this man a Champions League medal this season.

I'm well aware of why he has to leave soon.

I just don't know if we should do so without knowing if someone can take up his mantle once he does leave. For instance Man Utd had Rooney to take over from Ronaldo, Barcelona had Messi take over from Ronaldinho, but do we have someone of that level? Arsenal never got anyone to fill in for Henry, (at least until RVP when he became fit for an entire season) and well, we can see the results of that.

Perfect chance to bleed Lukaku in; he's an immense talent!

He's our highest ever scorer in this competition. Would definitely love to seem him lift it with us.

Don't be paranoid. We will find someone to replace Drogba.

Cavani's an interesting player, but yes Lukaku shouldn't be overlooked. If Romelu has it in him, he could save this club a lot of money.

It is not paranoia. I just doubt whether the club can get to pick and choose someone to replace him, with all the financial restrictions coming into place.

Why not? The club will have to go out and get a new striker anyway.

[BlueLion. 21,491]

We'll get a new number 11 and a new goal-getter for sure, but we won't ever get another Drogba. Absolute legend.

[Blue Armour 4,278]

There are few strikers of repute that are out there right now, and none of them come with small transfer fees. Of course, the way I see it may not be the way Roman sees it, so who knows?
