When he’s not averting civil war in Africa, the Drog is telling any journalist who’ll listen that he may or may not stay at Chelsea next season. He is quoted in today’s Sun as saying ‘Any strong economic pull can make me change my mind.’ In other words. if he got offered a shit load more cash, he’d put a money-shaped gun to Chelsea’s head and hope they match that offer. If not, he’ll leave.
I accept that the concept of loyalty is alien to modern footballers – maybe it always was, it’s just that there was never this much moolah in the game – but why does Drogba feel the need to play this vainglorious ‘Look at me!’ game, a game that we’ve seen Thierry Henry play this summer already?
