Drogba gone in the summer

Didier Drogba has been a mean, moody but splendid focal point of the Chelsea harass for the last seven years. His payment to their final emergence as a real European inspiration has been as great as any player at Stamford Bridge.

He may have cost £24million but stats of 141 goals in 239 starts mark him down as real VFM. Yes, he has always operated on a short moving fuse - never more than when he was sent off in the Champions League final in Moscow - but that's the price you pay for someone who is certainly the real deal.

But with his 33rd birthday looming in March, Drogba could well be the fall guy in the £50million Fernando Torres transfer. This will be heresy for lots of Blues fans but even a figure as talismanic as Drogba has his shelf life.
