"It has been a very difficult decision for me to make and I am very proud of what we have achieved but the time is right for a new challenge for me," said Drogba, who is expected to join Nicolas Anelka in China for a final big pay-day...

Drogba confirms Blues departure

T

his is for the best, his hunger would be in serious question now after winning everything with us. A true Chelsea legend, up there with Osgood and Zola, come back and see us now and then Didier. And as Martin Tyler said on Saturday night....he is immortal at Chelsea. What a way to go out eh....Good luck big man wherever you land next.
