oh great 10:24am 10/18/2007  

Remember a few weeks ago when i speculated how things could get any worse at Stamford Bridge? I failed to suggest this scenario. From Soccernet:

Drogba Wants To Quit Chelsea
 
Ivory Coast striker Didier Drogba wants to quit Chelsea three years after joining the Londoners. 'I want to leave Chelsea. Something is broken with the club,' Drogba is reported as saying in a magazine article due to be published on Friday. Drogba, who has scored 43 goals in the Premier League, was one of the players most affected by former manager José Mourinho's departure last month.

Something is broken? No shit, sherlock! I can't fault Didier for his logic, but would beg him to weather the storm in London. If he goes (or worse, doesn't go and pulls a kind of Kobe Bryant-esque "i'll play mediocre until you give in to my demands" routine), the situation in West London will sink to new lows. Why in god's name would any top-name footballer want to join this circus? I guess £100,000 per week is a good enough reason for many. We'll see whether the magazine article inspires a frenzy of trade discussions or a fervent (albeit questionable) denial from the in-form striker.
