CHELSEA still need another Drogba


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?
