Didier Drogba to join his ex-Chelsea teammate Nicolas Anelka in China.Shanghai Shenhua want
The Mirror says the Chinese club are proposing an incredible two-and-a half-year basic package, plus image rights, goal bonuses and success incentives that
would make the striker one of the best paid players in the world.
The 33-year-old could earn in excess of £300,000-a-week and mega-rich Shenhua are putting pressure on him to sign a pre-contract agreement - as he is out of
contract in the summer, he's now free to talk to non-English clubs.
Ivory Coast star Drogba, currently away on Africa Cup of Nations duty, is ready to see out the remaining six months of his contract at Chelsea, despite huge
interest from other clubs.

Communism

1.2m every month :O

14.4m a year.

Easy choice to make at his age.

Take it!

He wont leave chelsea so easily. He desperately wants to win the CL

He'd use £299,500 of that to build homes for the poor and churches for the kids weekly

And are Chelsea anywhere close to winning a CL?

Closer than United and City are.

id love him to sign a new contract at chelsea, but at his age you cant really blame him for accepting that sort of money

He has as much chance with Shanghai than with Chelsea of winning the CL

"Mind blowing" 300k a week?

Tevez makes that without playing a single second...unless of course your counting golf in Argentina

I don't understand why they want to spend €40 million on a player who may not be able to play regularly during his tenure!!!

Since the birth of J-League all rising leagues have resorted to sign OLD stars for considerable sums.

The prevalent argument is they 'raise' the profile of the league. REALLY!!! Unlike Eto or Drogba, younger players can play for their national teams and thus can actually promote those leagues & clubs. Besides, you can actually sell the younger players (to bigger/European clubs) and recoup your investment.

Another argument can be that they sell jerseys. Well how much money will the Russian or Chinese club earn from Eto or Drogba jerseys and at what cost.

He is probably leaving this january or definitely this summer.
