Do you realize how much better we would be with Drogba upfront? It would be amazing! He is a beast in the box and would bully defenders in Serie A so much. I would love if he came here. He is 34 but he is in fantastic shape. Did u see his work rate in the champions league? Having Drogba would give us a shot at actually getting out of the group stages and doing something in the CL
I dont think he will fade away man, he turned 34 a few months back . He has alot of quality and strength even if he did not play every game, to have a weapon like him at the club would be immense. He is also better conditioned then most center forwards, regardless of his current age. I would rather a 34 year old Drogba then Matri or Borriello. If a player is properly conditioned they can play a long time and be very effective.
As for this being an unlikely signing, that is probably true. But that does not stop us from discussing players like RVP and Higuain!

Agreed, we need experienced Players, young players don't always work example arsenal. Drogba is a beast he's fit as hell and at age 38 never mind 34 he will still put out more then Matri Borriello combined. The man has a presence not many CF can boast. Yes he dives and yes it bugs me but he is exactly the type to get you a goal when needed. Using age as an excuse to not sign h is ridiculous since some said Pirlo was finished, if anything it's his wage demands that would bother not age.
i doubt he will put in the work, or are motivated to play on the highest level anymore. 34 is quite old, and his wages and cost would be very high, and most likely not worth it imo.
i know his contribution in the final was vital, and he won it for chelsea. but he scored 5 goals in 24 matches this year, hardly impressive stats.
he would be our new amauri, toni or iaquinta

Do you realise he is the only close to world class CF who would allow us to save a lot of money and massively invest that in a new RWF like Suarez which no other scenario would allow? Unless Marrotta can pull a loan deal for Dzeko, Higuain or Van Persie, which are all unlikely scenarios. He sure as he'll can't pull a loan for Suarez coz Pool being out of CL and cash strapped will need some kind of liquidity and therefore outright sale. Also, Drogba is the type of player built for the Italian game, and he would thrive here in ways people cant imagine. That said, even at 34 years of age he would be a huge threat on big European nights that the club might be expecting to have this coming season. It's potentially a superb deal for everybody involved and the best two year fix imaginable. Especially considering it will allow us to sort out the equally big RWF slot.

What were Pirlo's stats the last 3 years? I don't think it's that he lacks quality but it's a question of environment and motivation because Didier is a top drawer, big match player. He would be far more than the new Amauri. Far more.

he got lucky with his goal in the cl final, it doesnt mean he is something special.

he will not come cheap, his wages would most likly be the highest at the club, and his sign-on-fee 5-10m. it would be money down the drain
on top of that he is a dirty fucking diver, not worthy of the juve jersey.

Objectively.. Would our team be better with Drogba? - Yes
Does the fact his transfer would not involve a high transfer fee mean we can pay him better? - Yes
Would he rape defenders in Serie A? - Yes, look at what Zlatan does.
Does signing him mean we wont sign any more stars? - No, in fact bringing Drogba might convince someone like RVP to join as well.
Most people would want Drogba at their team. Pretty much all the Chelsea team were begging him to stay.

Also how on earth was that bullet of a header lucky? Drogba is the best header of the ball i have seen since Batistuta. I dont think luck has to do with it.

chelsea was lucky bc they got outplayed for 87 min, and scored on their first corner. the header was nice, but still lucky that in "landed" on drogbas head.
did he score more than 5 goals in epl this year? no
subjectivly would our team be better with drogba? no
i dont see what zlatan has to do with drogba, as they are wastly different players.
i dont like the thought of spending alot of money and time on a 34y player.
