Drogba For Sale - A Transfer That Would Light Up The Toon!
Having lost Andy Carroll and Kevin Nolan - and the prospect of Joey Barton and Jose Enrique going too - we NEED a big signing. And I don't mean foreign players we have never heard of ... I mean a BIG BIG signing ... to show we are genuine contenders for honours. And they don't come much bigger than Chelsea striker Didier Drogba. The 33-year-old has enjoyed a glittering career in the Premier League since joining Chelsea in 2004 after just one season at Marseille, who are interested in signing him. Drogba has previously refused to rule out a return to Stade Velodrome towards the end of his career and he has just one year remaining on his contract at Stamford Bridge. Reports suggest his future at Chelsea next season is uncertain as new manager Andre Villa-Boas looks to put his own stamp on the squad after replacing Carlo Ancelotti. Marseille president Vincent Labrune: "The question is whether in terms of salary, I do not mean the transfer, Marseille have the means for four years to pay Didier Drogba. "I answer 'yes'. But we cannot afford 11 Didier Drogbas."
