lewis, london,

Drogba is always treated with such hatred? Jose addressed the diving situation 3 years ago and he stopped. Ronaldo is worse but he plays for Man U. so the medida gives him a pass. Drogba should be paid more than what he's getting, Ballack is just now coming into himself and he got a 130k p/wk=30yrs!

Alicia, Toronto, Canada

As a Chelsea fan, I can't wait to see the back of him. I'm sick of watching him give the ball away or hitting the deck every time anyone comes near him. He has won the odd game single handedly but his ego is out of control. Give me Anelka any day, or at least give him a chance.

Patrick, Manchester, UK

Drogba is my favorite player. He is, for me, the face of Chelsea. I don't know how heartbroken I will be if he leaves. I can only hope some miracle happens and he decides to stay.

Noel Kunz, Miami, USA

If Drogba leaves, trying to add Messi on the front and Ribery in midfield will prove an attractiveness in Chelsea game.

bibek adhikari, london, UK

all chelsea fans will remember Didier Drogba in their hearts even after he has left.many people recognize him as chelsea's best friend ,having worked so tirelessly to bring success to the club.i think chelsea will suffer a blow when they will see the difference to the team without him.

Usama, Lahore, Pakistan

He's contributed much to Chelsea's success.Sure he can be temperamental and moody,but when he's up for it, there are few more frightening prospects in world football. More than his goals Drogba provided power play,passion and indomitable spirit. Sir Alex will be thrilled at his imminent departure!

Femi Odebunmi, Lagos, Nigeria

Yes time for Drogba to depart I think, Berbatov and Villa would be great. Ribery would also be an excellent signing. Maybe Malouda will come good next season. Eto'o looks to have lost it. Going into fantasy land Kaka and the best player in the world Messi would do nicely!

Paul Kenchington, Bournemouth, U K

I have a season ticket and for four years Drogba has worked tireslessly for the team. He wins games single handed and is by far the most important player at the club. If Chelsea turf him out after Jose they are completely mad. Far more committed than Anelka, Berbabtov or Sheva. God help us!

James Allport, London, UK

He is a drama queen but lets not forget what he has done for Chelsea. He has had to play as a lone striker for three years and there is no player in the world as effective in that role. He is not a stand up John Terry type but under Mourinho he was a total team player.

Gloria, London, London

Who can blame him!? Can you imagine if you were only on £95k per WEEK!? And petrol is now £1.10 a litre - how is he going to survive on that pittance!?

Good riddance - I for one will not miss this cheat.

Dan Greenslade, Doncaster, UK

berbatov is more tactical than drogba and doesn't dive like he's been shot and with the right service will score you 30 goals a season Drog and Sheva out, Berbatov and Eto in ha ha

John, London, uk

villa and gomez will be nice to replace drogba.

daniel, LAGOS, NIGERIA

Good bye Drogba! Nobody will miss a cheat!

Desmond, Barnstaple, UK

if you can get big money for a 30 year old malcontent and use the money to replace him with younger more team oriented players, do it before his market value goes down. better to sell a year early than a year late.

barry, kansas city,

Flashes of brilliance intermingled with constant petulance, underhandedness, deceit and downright surlyness.
As a "football" fan, I for one will be glad to see the back of his arrogant slackmouthed attitude week in week out. If Chelski get Berbatov, THEN you`ll have a "great" team.

Phil J N, Liverpool,

Poor thing- I'd be in a huff too earning only £95k a week- diddumsy widdumsy...

julie, Dubai,

If David Villa leaves Valencia as expected, he will be heading to Real Madrid, who have already put in an offer that it seems everybody is happy with. Chelsea have no chance of getting him!

SN, UK,

You would expect that there wouldnot be short of suitors for Drogbar .
Not after that semi final goal against Liverpool !
Dont try Manu though Manucho will put you on bench !

anne, kisumu, kenya

Frank Arnesen has identified Gomez..........................bound to be exceptional in that case.............................

Don Brayshaw, London, England

Muhammad, if you want to play for Arsenal you need to know how to stop, pass and play a ball - qualities Drogba doesn't have.
He has a killer-instinct in front of the goal, apart from that he is moaning and diving - all of which qualifies him perfectly for Italy in general and Milan in particular.

Ilja, Sliema, Malta

Drogba is on platform twilight, and his train is leaving to th egraveyard of forgotten soccer players. Thanks from achelsea fan and good luck.

michael , cahersiveen-adams town, madness

Don't you just feel sorry for the guy?

If no one else wants him he has to stay in London, with occassional trips to Milan etc. on about £5 million per year for the next 3 years.

Perhaps he should contact a Human Rights lawyer to sort this out for him, or perhaps he should count his blessings?

Terry, Bagneres, France

Brett - Drogba was NOT an out and out winner against Wigan Bolton or Man U nor will he be
Horry

horry, Shanghai, China

arsenal is a nice club for Drogba to stay at london.. Drogba should think about that.

Muhammad Zahid, lahore, pakistan

sell both drogba and sheva to milan,get in mario gomez and barbatov.

Rohan , mumbai, India

Yes, Milan would be nice for Drogba,. But he has a tendency to "Fall Down" a lot. What does it all mean, does he suffer from dizzy spells, is he in love, wait, I know, he has a green grass fetish. Maby Italian grass will become the elixar of his lost youth! Stay tuned for further developments!

jim, framingham, USA

i am not happy with the style being played and the attitude when we are in the lead [almost the same during mourinho's time]...i prefer a new manager takes over especially rijkaard coz he can bring a whole new style of play and rejunavate the team and let the fans enjoy the creative play.

Dani, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia

If Grant oversees the replacement of Didier Drogba one of the world's great strikers with Dimitar Berbatov, then heaven help him with the supporters.

Drogba is an out and out match winner.
