Maybe Drogba was at cobham to tell Moutinho about his team mate Yilmaz! Sounds stupid tho

There are reports saying that we've failed in a bid to bring drogba back, I pray to god that its not true, he's 35 and hasn't exactly proved that he still has what he had in his glory days at Chelsea. I'm hoping we can land either Rooney or Suarez who we actually know can handle the premier league. I don't understand why people are are going on about Yilmaz being a sensation, he isn't a proven striker, having only played in the Turkish league, those who actually belive he is are deluded and only basing it on the YouTube videos where he's playing against teams which are one the same level as our division one teams.

Drogba scored like 8 goals and 2 assists in 11 appearances for Shenshua* and 6 goals +6 assists in 12 appearances for Gala, playing mostly behind Yilmaz. I reapeat, I'll have more confidence in Didier anyday than Torres, Ba, etc.
Against below average sides though, that's the thing.
Yilmaz was joint top scorer in the champions league. I think that proves he is a formidable striker.
He wasn't top scorer.
2012/13 CL top scorers
Ronaldo 12
Lewandowski 10
Yilmaz 8
Messi 8
Muller 8

Ed as we know a lot can change in football but from your personal view who are we most likely to sign. Nobody ( with any sense ) wiil take it as a garauntee but wondered who you think will be at CFC come start of season. I personally think de Rossi and Rooney,? Cheers {Ed018's Note - I'm not gonna guess but I'd be happy with those two}

As usual the press put 2 +2 and come out with 7. Just because th e Drog paid a visit to cobham he's coming back as a striker. More likely if he is to return it would be in a coaching capacity once his time in turkey is over. A move i'm sure we'd all love to see.
Think it's fact drogba's rep/agent said Jose rang drogba invited him down and asked if he would want to come back. Drogba refused as happy in turkey and excited about first full season

Drogba would surely be a better option than Ibrahimavic, he's if an age that would let Lukaku grow as he wouldn't want constant game time and has proven he works best with Mourinho and Chelsea. Ed do you see this as realistic? {Ed018's Note - not really}

David Moyes said that Rooney is second attacking option behind v. Persie. He also said that Rooney is not above club- Rooney isn't MU, MU is much biger than any player who ever it is. Maybe Rooney to Chelsea isn't just press speculation?
How did you work that out ness?
I have read it. But he (Moyes) repeated at least twice that Rooney is not for sale.

Ed's thanks for all your amazing insightful remarks, and answers to people's same questions! Football has lots of offseason requests for transfers, movement of players and shifts in current squads! One question I do have and It keeps coming up is Juan Mata?! Do you believe Mourinho will rework his plans to include Mata in his lineups or will the arrival of DeRossi if he comes Shurlle and Ginkel cause him to go another way! {Ed018's Note - I don't see Mata leaving}
The rumours about Mata leaving is media BS, Mourinho has said both Mata and Torres should'nt listen to the rumours about them leaving
Mata could leave only if he wants. But he would never go to Barcelona.

Any interest in Didier Drogba? I know we're not Liverpool, but honestly I'll be more confident going into the season with Didier and Lukaku than Ba and Torres.
B!
Ba will be sold, don't worry. Trust in the extra special happy one
