Drogba to leave on a free?

Goal article.

We have only offered a 1 year extentsion, Drogba does not want that so he could well leave for free come summer, if we don't sell him in Jan.

This is really bad as we will only have Torres and Lukaku who by all means isn't ready yet.

So where do you guys think Drogs will go?

Id take him at Arsenal just so we finally play a drogba-free Chelsea.

He won't go to arsenal, he wants money apparently so you'd have to outbid, PSG, Malaga, Anzhi and the US to get him.

didier is still our best forward (or at least CF), I really hope he ends his career here.
If that isnt possible, from what i heard, is very likely to see him in France (OM, PSG)

I think france or Russia are most likely but if he does not go there he should go to italy as a young, new Talent.

PSG... if he can accept splitting starts with Gameiro. I would be shocked if they didn't make a sizeable offer.

Yes, will be sad not seeing him in an OM shirt though.

He's just going to go to whoever pays him the most..

You really believe an OM legend would go to PSG?

The eternal retirement home of football-AC Milan

Have no idea what you're talking about here dude.

He's a Marseille legend in other people's minds for some reason... he was there 1 season and scored 34 goals. They finished a disappointing 7th in the Ligue 1 standings. Europe saved their season. Drogba actually finished 3rd in scoring that year in France behind Cisse and Frei.

Most hardcore Marseille fans i know do not consider him a legend at all. They just brag that his breakout year was at Marseille.

There would be no issues with him going to PSG. Not a single one.

Watch him go to Madrid...
Not that we need him... but Mou loves him

If Madrid offered crazy money I bet he would.

Torres' arrival kinda shifted Drogba out of his usual starting place. He's still useful but I can see him moving on if someone offers big money. He doesn't have much years left in his career and he knows it.

We take hiim with tevez.

And play what?


I doubt you will take both Drogba and Tevez.

ac milan... the forward horders.

Is it me, or was the statement by his representative one of the most blatantly materialistic and selfish things that's ever been released by a sportsman. I mean, seriously... He's essentially declared his intent to prostitute himself for whatever club is willing to pull over/ pay up. This is disgusting. I lost A LOT of respect for Drogba today. I fully expected him to move after the season, and I could even foresee it being to a "lesser" league. However, I never expected his reps to say that he will make the decision purely based on the deal he is offered.

We're not giving anything longer than one year contracts to players over 30, so I doubt he'd be satisfied with any deal we could give him, particularly given that he wouldn't start.

He should go back to Marseille and be done with it.

Professional on the last years of his career looks for best deal available

--> gets called a money grabbing whore

Does that make Eto'o a money grabbing whore.

When you look for jobs don't you look for the most money possible? Does that make you a money grabbing whore?

Drogba is a legend, just like Eto'o. Neither of them are Money grabbing whores.

He should come to the A-League

Lol, come to Adelaide!

i have a feeling he might end up in mls for some reason.... alot of talks of him going to LA...even though they don't need him...

the guy will be 34 by the end of the season.....so he has every right to try to make as much money as he can before he retires
