i say if its true about what is happening to shanghai shenhua we go for Drogba and try again next summer. It's not like signing the likes of osvaldo or borriello is a better idea as a alternative plan to Llorente, Dzeko, Jojo
Step up? If you don't have it you can't give it - if they step any higher they'll fall off a cliff to their death. Limited players, love them, but that doesn't change the fact that they're limited no matter how hard they try.

Just because he stepped it up last year in the CL doesnt mean he is automatically better than the two,all Chelsea did last year in the CL was 'hoof it to Drogba'..He was shit in the league last year.
yeah he is has a good finish to him, but whether his work rate matches the requirements of Conte's system is another matter, scored a decent goal against us as well in pre season. If the price is right i mean no more than 15 mill then sure, but i i'd prefer Llorente as i think he is a better fit for Conte. Anyhow if all else fails i hope we test the waters for Drogba at least with him we get what we need on a short term basis, i shouldn't think his transfer fee will be high if any, although his wages will be (probably to the sound of what we are willing to pay for our star signing) and we still save a fair chunk of that 20-30 mill we were hoping to spend on a big name for next summer, perhaps add it to whatever our budget is for next summer.
maybe not if some rich russian team comes calling. But one can assume that the lure of playing for a top side and in the CL may be a proposition that is difficult to turn down.

so that leads me to my initial hypothesis, who is going to come even close to matching Drogba's current wages as he is forced out by the club due to a lack of funds? Hence why Drogba in my eyes seems like a realistic option. I cant imagine anyone else willing to pay even half of what he currently earns?
