villa4europe Posted May 23, 2012 Share Posted May 23, 2012 i think drogba is flavour of the week, so if they held the poll today he'd have a stand a statue and who knows what else by the time they finish i think lampard and terry will be ahead of him in their fans eyes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PauloBarnesi Posted May 23, 2012 Share Posted May 23, 2012 Drogba officially leaving Chelsea. Not a bad way to go out, easily the greatest player in the club's history. arguably Lampard has been better but Zola says Hi as well .... People so easily forget El Tel, Crab Wilkins, Chopper Harris, The Cat, David Speedie, Jimmy Greaves (157 games; 124 goals, Drogba 225 games, 100 goals...), Jody Morris, etc, etc...

Zatman Posted May 23, 2012 Share Posted May 23, 2012 Id have Drogba as best Chelsea player ive seen. His signing was key to them start winning trophies. His best performace was definitely a 4-1 at Anfield in 2005 when he didnt score but bullied Carragher and think set up all 4 goals. If i remember FSW and some Liverpool players were giving him abuse in press before the game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zatman Posted May 23, 2012 Share Posted May 23, 2012 Drogba to Real Madrid could happen. Jose loves him and Higuain wants to leave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevo985 Posted May 23, 2012 VT Supporter Share Posted May 23, 2012 Is anyone getting pretty tired of Eden Hazard's long drawn out decision on who he moves to? Who cares? He's acting as if it's the biggest decision that's ever been made. I'd really like him to eventually announce he's chosen Man United, and for Fergie to say "No thanks" and leave him going with his tail between his legs to whoever else wants him (Citeh I assume) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swerbs Posted May 23, 2012 Share Posted May 23, 2012 Have a feeling he'll end up at Chelsea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joey55 Posted May 23, 2012 Share Posted May 23, 2012 I don't think it would be even close if Chelsea fans, who watch them closely every week, were discussing this. Lampard would win be an absolute landslide. Drogba has actually had a very mixed time whilst at Cheslea. For his first 2 seasons whilst not considered a flop, he wasn't seen a big success either. In the 6 seasons since he's actually been dissapointing in 4 of them, failing to get into double figures in the Prem on 3 occassions. He scored vital goals at the end of this season, but this doesn't negate his form over the majority of the last 2 years. Everyone remembers him for the 2006/7 and 2009/10, but what about the other seasons, where his form has been very patchy, do these just get forgotten?

villa4europe Posted May 23, 2012 Share Posted May 23, 2012 yep ive got a feeling that hazard will drag it out and make himself come across as a greedy word removed stories of him asking for £250k p/w already, it'll be bollocks but still makes for a very shit transfer saga Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaGoMarching Posted May 23, 2012 Share Posted May 23, 2012 Big Johns been released by West Ham (no surprise really) also leaving are man mountains Abdoulaye Faye and Papa Bouba Diop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomaszk Posted May 23, 2012 Share Posted May 23, 2012 Arse apparently bid £3m for Joe Allen from Swansea. It's like banging your head against a brick wall for Arsenal fans isn't it. If you are a chairman, there can be no better manager for you than Wenger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dudevillaisnice Posted May 23, 2012 Share Posted May 23, 2012 £3m is on the verge of disrespectful for Allen.. Arsenal fans dreaming of Huntelaar etc I just don't see it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr_Dogg Posted May 23, 2012 Share Posted May 23, 2012 £3m is on the verge of disrespectful for Allen.. Arsenal fans dreaming of Huntelaar etc I just don't see it. IF they sell RVP they should be at the very least aiming for players at his level. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

villa4europe Posted May 24, 2012 Share Posted May 24, 2012 problem is he loses the benefit of slipping under the radar like tiote and somehow cabaye did, on a free at 22 not much can go wrong IMO but he'll get loads of attention from the rags and the fans expecting him to be the next in the line of gems how come no one ever mentions marveaux or obertan when listing newcastles signings?

The_Rev Posted May 24, 2012 Share Posted May 24, 2012 Is anyone getting pretty tired of Eden Hazard's long drawn out decision on who he moves to? Who cares?

I'd really like him to eventually announce he's chosen Man United, and for Fergie to say "No thanks" and leave him going with his tail between his legs to whoever else wants him (Citeh I assume) It's very easy to tune out of these things though. Just dont watch Sky Sports News and the whole saga will pass you by until he decides to sign for somebody. It's not Hazard's fault the media are making his transfer into a huge saga, he is a young man who is about to move overseas for a long period of time so you cannot blame him for taking his time to make the right decision for his career. I guess I want him to join Manchester City because if he goes there then they will sell on at least one of their wide players (probably Johnson?) as they wont be able to offer much football to him and then we get to see another good player get regular football in the Premier League. If Hazard goes to Chelsea or Manchester United then we probably wont see as many other players move as a result of the transfer because there is a very good chance he will just replace one of their ageing stars.

Genie Posted May 24, 2012 Share Posted May 24, 2012 Chelsea really are slashing their wage bill this summer Chelsea are set to release both Salomon Kalou and Jose Bosingwa when their contracts expire in the summer. I wonder with their new shiny trophy they splash some mega money this summer? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Rev Posted May 24, 2012 Share Posted May 24, 2012 I dont think there is any doubt they will. I think they will make three or four huge signings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chindie Posted May 24, 2012 VT Supporter Share Posted May 24, 2012 They sorta need to, that team is showing it's age and showing the cracks. The last 2 seasons saw a gap open up between them and the title and it needs investment to sort out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
