Drogba may stay with Chelsea

Posted: Tuesday May 20, 2008 08:31AM ET

Chelsea striker Didier Drogba has told France Football that he's willing to go back on his earlier declaration about leaving the club in summer. Much may depend on which othre top European clubs display a concrete interest in the 30-year-old. The likes of Internazionale, AC Milan and Real Madrid are just a ew of the teams linked with the former Marseille man.

It's Hot!

Rank: 5

It's Not!

I can see him staying despite what he has already said. Any manager that takes that job would love seeing Didier Drogba as his Central Striker.

I'm hoping United's defense shuts him down tomorrow but I got to admit that I am a huge Drogba fan. I just like his game.

I can't watch that stinking game tomorrow 'cus of work. They should play the finals on the weekend.

Drogba and Lampard will head to Inter in teh summer - Mourinho will be announced as the new manager there and Mancini will leave either for Chelski or Barca.

Anyway, Italian football will suit Drogba's diving.....

Jazinho: I got me a sick day. I scheduled a doctor's appointment for tomorrow. I will be home when the game starts.

Yes, thank you lobsterblue for that fine piece of stereotyping. Because NOBODY dives in the premiere league, NOT EVER.

In England, Wednesday = Sunday. It's a national holiday over there. You can go loot all of the stores because everyone will be at home or at bars watching "The Game"

J hova-How can you like his game??? 9 times out of 10 he's flopping all over the pitch and probably one of the laziest strikers in the epl. If he didnt get world class service he would never be mentioned with the top strikers. United WILL shut him and the rest of Chelski down and you'll see him crying his way to another club.

I love his game. He does flop, and yes he can be lazy but when Chelsea needs a goal he is the one who gets it.

Come on. Like Drogba is the only flopper out there, get real fellas. Find another reason to hate the guy.

Drogba has that killer instinct and strength which make him priceless to any team he plays for. Is Inter Milan the best destination? Possibly. I'm not sure if Inter has the strong attacking midfielders necessary to get him the ball on a nightly basis. I think if Drogba is to be successful in Milan, they need an attacking midfielder who can rope the defense into leaving Drogba space to make a run.

Someone like Frank Lampard.

Manny J: I'm the one who took the sick day. Not Jazinho, well not yet anyway. If he's smart he will.

If a team needs a powerful striker who scores, I can't think of too many players more desirable than Drogba. When he's on, he's truly special.

Finals are going to get me home on time for the start of the game. I had to TiVo last year's.

Drogba is one of my favorite players. I agree he can slack and flop for 80 minutes, but Drogba is clutch when it matters.

Dizzy: That is the one thing I do hate about Cristiano. He does get a little whiny. I also wish that he would kill this going to Spain thing. No way in hell would Man U. allow it, so let it go already. The team will sell him in like 5 to 7 years when we deem him "old".
