Chelsea still need another Drogba a real or even better
replacement this cannot be over emphasized..if you are a fan a true Blue
the memories of how DD as Drogba is fondly called rescues the team
from impending 'disgrace' from a losing position, he turns things around most of
the times he plays he scores vital unbelievable equalizers, the
latest in memory is that of the last Champions League finals against the
host Bayern Munich where he equalized at the death he nodded in what
earned Chelsea extra time of play -what about his final penalty kick
to clinch the title the execution was not only perfect but in
hindsight reminiscent of the fact that if he was not sent off in the
finals against Manchester united in Moscow, he would have saved Terry from the
slip and Chelsea would have smiled to the euro
bank... , even when he comes on from the bench as a result of
rotation with Torres-the 50
million pounds investment; he roars like a wild lion to justify while the
hype on him is not a fluke.
Torres has not really lived up to expectations, the price tag on him not helping matters- he had tried his best absolutely and it seems like the last injury he had obliterated most of his scoring skills that made the Russian billionaire broke the bank for his signature, who in anybody's perspective will not be pleased the way his investment had fared, the onus now lies more on Torres to shut up his doubters or prove right his sympathizers, who always accuse DD of slowing his progress no need to talk about the African magic myth about DD, I do not believe that works in football absolutely, but the present situation does call for questions and more questions; although Torres did win the golden boot in the just concluded euro 2012 one wonders if that gives much joy to Chelsea, considering the number of times he was benched and number of minutes he played for Spain, the way Torres was treated by the Spanish coach was unarguably disappointing.

Chelsea recently
invested mostly in midfielders, Hazard is one of them and blending him to
take over the striking role by the manager Roberto has not really gelled in
the pre season friendly matches. Lukaku has on his own shown some flashes whether he
can sustain it is another pretty kettle of fish..The old issue of lack of goals from
the strikers will definitely put pressure on the new manager and no
one will be surprised if the Sack-Sack syndrome resurfaces..
Drogba's presence
alone in the team scares the opponent keeps the opponent's defenders
at bay, not to mention his defending skills ....does Chelsea have a better
replacement?
