Didier Drogba to leave this summer?

[Luke 60]

Firstly, Im not sure if there is a topic covering this, I cant see one but Im sorry if there is.

Do people think/want Drogba to leave this summer?

Personally my gut feeling is that he will go back to Marseille. Do I think it would be a good move for CFC? Yes. Do I think it is the right time? Yes.

Didi has been a GREAT servant for CFC and he will go down as one of our greatest strikers of all time.

What are everyones thoughts on this?

Predicting that Drogba will leave in the summer is not a bad call! I believe Torres and Sturridge will be our two main strikers next season.

As for Drogs, I predict he will return to Marseille, I don't think Galatasaray suits him.

He probably will unless he can regain his form this season.

The timing if he leaves this summer is probably right and best for us and him unless he can become the old Drog.

It'll be a sad day when he does leave, Chelsea legend and one of the best strikers we've ever had.

[Wilson 358]

No chance. Maybe next season or two.

[Chelsea_Fan 227]

He show really good game against Fulham.Why he must leave us?

Right now he is playing below his usual level due malyarii.I think that he can play at least another season.

Would he play in the main squad it is unknown.

Added another question to the poll.

He goes through such wow and then such bloody annoying phases!! Mean last year he got golden boot for christ sake and start of this season seemed to do fine.Got ill and hasnt been the same since! Doesnt look bothered at times again.

Still 3 months of so to start being how he was...which hopfuly he can be! Be such a shame to see him leave,got so much stick,turned it around and done a random U turn.

If we sign one or two strikers, i think he is going to leave.

[Miguelito 459]

i hate to say as he has been one of our greatest strikers ever but i think it is his time to go. if he doesnt step it up by summer i think he'll be gone. i feel like this summer we will let go alot of senior players again except this time we will get replacements

[Duppy Conqueror 1,494]

i don`t think any player in my entire years of watching Chelsea has ever torn me over how i feel about them,the way Drogba has.

i know he plays for the Ivory Coast,was born there etc... but when i think about the stereotypical french man..it isn`t Maka,Malouda nor during his time with us Anelka...it`s Didier Drogba.

so talented and brilliant when he`s in the mood..but when he`s sulking we might aswell have Hilario upfront.

players like that piss me off because you got a guy like Kalou who doesn`t have half his skill set but not once has he sulked or given anything short of 100%, if Drogba had that he would be classed among the greatest centre forwards to ever play the game not just what he will probably be regarded as when he hangs up his boots..one of the best CF`s of his generation.

with age,mood,health and possibly deminishing skills..yeah i think the summer is the right time to let him go..aslong as we are offered something in return for him. i hope they don`t do what they done with Crespo tho..just loan him out till his contract runs out.

I think it's possible that he may want to leave in the Summer. I guess he could be thinking that if we fail to win that elusive Champions League this season, that might be a reason for him to move on. As other people have said, unless he can find his form, that may play a factor in his decision making.

[MiniMan25 0]

I think he will have one more season with us, see if the form changes and I would like to see Malouda leave and Josh Mceachran given the big responsibilty Walcott was at Arsenal. He looks really promising for the future.

[HRiver 1,512]

I don't really want him to leave, but I think that this summer is the right time for him to go. I don't think he'll ever again be the same Drogba he used to be, so for his good and for the club's good, he should leave.

[Wilson 358]

Didier Drogba <3

[Gappy 130]

Don't want him to leave but if his attitude about " must be in first team squad only "didn't change then It's hard to believe that next season we still have him.

[Apixels 6]

I hope he doesnt leave but it seems likely

[LDN Blue 7,903]

Don't want him to go.

This will be a true test of his character. Will he stay and fight for his place or run?

[steve5221 91]

We need him, he is still a great asset in the PL. If Carlo goes in the summer then the preference for 4-3-3 and Anelka goes with him. People say he is to old but don't forget he only became a pro in his 20's.
