Well BC i guess, theres no consipracy around his operation, hes gone under the knife and hes out. the only thing we can hope now is he comes back wenever it is firing on all cylinders. it would be a big miss, and we def need to get a striker in jan regardless shevachenko stays or goes.

Well, the discussion has been going on a few weeks now between Drogba and the club about when to have the surgery and suddenly Drogba’s knees lock ‘yesterday’ and gets his knee operated today. Compare this to Ballack’s surgery. I’d like to think there was no conspiracy.

hahahhaha , well u know how the press likes a bit of spicee in everything esp english media, i think he would def play for AFC for Ivory Coat, hes always stood up for his country so the media is just making out a big fuzz about this. It is obvious chelsea wudnt want to let him go for more than a month esp him being the front man and i think ideally they would want him to carry on untill end of december and go in for a surgery in Jan, so they could get a replacement in transfer window and they could say, hes injured so he cant play in AFC. but now the case is he will recover in time for AFC as it starts on 21st jan and ivory cost first game is on 23rd Jan. and he will be available for the quater finals and semis def if they go through the first group stages. will wait and see how this develops.

we would definately miss him….hope sheva can use this oppurtunity to shine well…

Sheva is still rusty to the extent of worrying all us Blues. He’s lost his pace, his first touch and shot making skills that made him deadly at San Siro (AC Milan’s ground).

Chelsea seems to be an omen for him, if he doesn’t shine soon, I’d rather he find a good career at someplace elsewhere than self-destruct at Stamford Bridge.

Sumesh, i dont know if you are aware, san siro is home ground for both AC and inter. sheva can get some games def now, so i hope he score atleast in those games and give himself a chance to be seen as a front man.

hey BC wud like to know ur views on how we wud be playing if ballack is back, wud we be going to a 4 man midfield with mikel, essein , lamps and ballack ?

Well, that’s that. Roll out the red carpet for a new striker if you want to go anywhere this season, folks. Today’s display against the lowly Sunderland proves we’re hopeless without Drogba. We really aren’t a top four team without him.

ma mrs u picku maternu !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! f*** off we lost the best striker on the world!!!!!!!!!!!! i hope that he will return in same shape and that awram dont forgot him when he return!!!!

drogba is the best striker in europe. we will surely miss him but we can always good replacements in jan.

something fishy here. drogba has finally taken care of his participation in the african cup. given a choice between chelsea and the african cup, he would choose african cup only. he likes to play with passion. currently i dont think he has any passion to play for chelsea. also if at all he is going to be sold in january, he should be a fit player and that’s why he got his surgery done in time.

time to sell drogba.

@ Mister

If he had no passion or any care left for Chelsea, then he wouldn’t still be scoring at will. Drogba has always been the same through my eyes. And Of course he’d choose his home country over Chelsea, I would. Doesn’t mean he can’t love Chelsea.

I hate liverpool but somehow i want them to qualify champ leageu :p

drogba and essien is one of my fav players to here that drogba is not goin to be back until feb is quite shocking but if he has to stay home and recover then he has to so but for then i hope things go good for him and i hope time runs fast so that he can come back and play.

until then good luck didi!!!!!!!!!1

Sheva will do the job, just look at him flying against Sunderkand and he will GUN down Arsenal. I promise, the deadliest striker in Europe is back… You will see!!
