Wow just wow especially considering that many thought he was going to leave the team last summer

Congrats to Chelsea

I have no clue about Chelsea's historical greats, but he's definitely neck-and-neck with Lamps for the golden boy of the current twilight generation

The real question is does Chelsea keep Drogs? He's been "on his way out" for two years now, but has consistently been Chelsea's best striker

If he wants to stay, I don't see how you don't keep him. His head is worth a few victories a year.

I think Czech and JT are the only old guard that stay, maybe lamps too, how can you keep them out. The best decision was made today. Bertrand started with most the old guard and gained valuable experience. Now do it more next year in he beginning of the season when it doesn't matter

Bertrand did what he was suppose to do. However, I don't think he was necessarily good.

But, to the subject at hand. Yes.


Drogba is the best Chelsea player ever. No one can rival him. I think he hit either 100 or goal 101 today with that header.

That was the best commercial for the 06 WC that Ivory Coast stopped the war to cheer for the team

I'll go as far as to say Drogba is the best Premier League striker of this generation. An absolute fricking legend ... and a class act.

He was also nice enough to miss a PK and help Zambia win the African Cup.
