Didier Drogba open to signing new contract

[Laylabelle 9,534]

If he carries on like he has been for the last 2 games then by all means Id say go for it.

If he starts to not care then be no point but hopfully this be the start and be the old Drogba again

The last two gameshave shown us glimpses of the old Didier Drogba but he has to warrant a new contract. If he can continue to show the same committment in matches - and by that I mean continuing to come back and defend as well as being our major attacking outlet - and even bang away 10 goals before the close of the season, we should certainly offer him a new deal.

But that's exactly my point BlueLion, we shouldn't be happy to accept 'glimpses'.

How long until his current one expires?

Give him a new contract and we can sell him for more money. If he doesn't play well for the rest of the season, that is.

contracts up in the summer isnt it?

A season and a half left. Summer of 2010 he should be done.

i am in two minds. Drogba is better than Torres when you compare both at their best. But the guy has loads of Attitude problem and he will be 31 now.

I would like to see young hungry legs like Benzema or Aguero. Zlatan Would be Fucking Awsome.

That's just not the right way to think about it. Why pay him millions per year to play crap so we can sell him for almost nothing. Better to just let him go if we don't want him. Especially as Drogba is highly unlikely to agree to a 1 year contract that might make keeping him worthwhile.

Well, was thinking maybe we could get 5-7 million pound if we give him a new contract and he plays well.

He hits form once a season, Then he does nothing. He is a waste of space, Has abillty, but his attitude is very very bad. Let him go, He is getting old and we don't need him anymore.

I wonder if you still share the same sentiments. I highly doubt it!

Drogba: Listen to me - I want Chelsea stay

13.03.09 | tribalfootball.com

Didier Drogba insists he wants to stay at Chelsea.

The striker was the subject of intense transfer speculation during the January window and with his contract due to expire in the summer of 2010, more frenzied talk of his departure is expected in the summer.

But the striker, who has rekindled his striking prowess since Luiz Felipe Scolari's exit, is adamant he wants to remain part of the Chelsea set-up.

Scolari axed Drogba after his woeful display in the 3-0 defeat by Manchester United at Old Trafford in January. But since Hiddink's arrival, Drogba has been a revelation.

"The good thing is that I had the support of the players and people like Ray Wilkins were supporting me because I didn't deserved what happened later," Drogba told Chelsea TV.

"But after that it's choices, and it's manager's choices, so what can I say. I've said before I'm staying. It's not because I had my knee problems and what happened with the manager, I just really wanted to make it clear again that I'm here.

"Everything I have had since I've been here I can't forget, but the best is yet to come. I really want to do something that people will remember here with my mates. We did it before but we want to do it again and so we are working on it a lot."
