Drogba: I wish I was at Marseille

[Steve 10,227]

Under-fire Chelsea striker Didier Drogba says he would love to be at Marseille at the moment.

Drogba, who has been linked with a summer move following the fall-out from Chelsea's Champions League exit, has revealed that he would love to be at Marseille as the team lead Ligue 1 on goal difference with four games to play.

The former Stade Velodrome icon lost in the 2004 Uefa Cup final to Valencia in Gothenburg, and he believes it would be thrilling to be a Marseille player at the present time.

"I must confess that I really wish I was there with them right now," Drogba told France-Football.

"I envy them a lot, indeed! The atmosphere must be crazy all around the city.

"They must have a lot of fun all together. Most of all, they must make the most of it.

"As far as I am concerned, I was inches away from winning a trophy with this club and I cannot imagine what the atmosphere will be if they win silverware.

"It is going to be massive."

Sometimes during his time here I wish he was in Marseille.

He's said this time and time again about returning to Marseille, but if he was to go back there, would his ego take the fact he'd have to take a massive pay cut to play for them once more?

Whats the odds he'll be "mis-quoted" over the coming days.

I don't think Drogba means he wants to switch clubs but just to be at that atmosphere of Marseille and to see them win a trophy.

Yup, spot on. He isn't saying he wants to leave and all the other stuff that will be read into this..

Doesn't once say he wants to go there, unless I'm misreading. He's merely saying he'd like to be there to witness the atmosphere because - let's be fair - they're going to be crowned Ligue Un Champions.

[Laylabelle 9,534]

Tommrow it'll be..'Drogaba wants to go back' blahness no doubt with very twisted words.

But yeh never once does he say anything about moving,just about the atmospehre and how the atmosphere be if they won the trophy seeing how it was when they came close etc

lol, the media is a joke when it comes to Didier Drogba. If he wanted to leave Chelsea he could've done that years ago.
