Real Poised to Swoop for Drogba
-
Real Madrid boss Bernd Schuster will use the Chelsea feelbad factor to snap up Didier Drogba.
Schuster is a long-term admirer of the Ivory Coast striker, who was in tears over the shock sacking of close pal Jose Mourinho.
Drogba, 29, took Mourinho's exit from Stamford Bridge worse than any of his team-mates and Real have immediately made their interest known.
Schuster said: "We have been following him for a long time."
Real rely on 31-year-old Ruud van Nistelrooy and Raul, 30, for their goals but Schuster dismissed the idea Drogba's age would be a problem.
"With sports medicine the way it is these days a professional of his age is perfectly able to go on for three or four years more at the highest level," he said.
German Schuster also confirmed he is keen to sign Drogba's Chelsea team-mate Michael Ballack, who has not played this season because of an ankle injury. -
ok now chelsea stars are linked with an exit
-
R.Madrid taking advantage. High chance Drogba will leave
-
as usual RM wif their public stun.
making a fool of themselves by claiming others r interested in joining their club, the problem is this rumour is nvr true in the 1st place. -
why do they need DD when they have reliable goalscorer in RVN and veteran Raul, morever they have enough cover in the likes of Saviola, Robinho and Higuain. If he goes there then its like reducing playtime for himself or the other players'.
Same as the case in Barca. I feel that Henry is playing a rather minor role in for the Catalan giants. Having watched a few matches, his impact is not that big, but rather its Ronaldhino and Messi's thats making things happen. Furthermore, Barca's youth team is full of talent, such as BOJAN. -
RM was linked with Lampard and now Droggy?
-
Each time players that RM suddenly want, they will have this famous quote: "We have been following him for a long time."

Drogba: Real target
Drogba has admitted he is still coming to terms with life after Mourinho and admitted he cried when he heard of the Portuguese tactician's exit.
"I have no problems in saying that I cried when I heard the news," Drogba told the Daily Star on Sunday.
"I owe him practically everything. I felt a pain like that of losing a father.
"I cried and I've cried again since. I and my team-mates love Chelsea. We want the club to stay big but I cannot speak about the future." -
Even he doubts Grant's abilityOriginally posted by omgukilledkenny:We want the club to stay big but I cannot speak about the future." -
u can't blame him.. since everyone around is doubting Grants ability..except Roman of course..Originally posted by glacer:Even he doubts Grant's ability , either way, if Roman doesn't change the manager soon in enough, theres really gonna be some major players exiting chelsea..
Not everything runs on oil... Mr Ambrovich..you should realise that by now..

You're too old for us - Real Madrid end Drogba chase
Real Madrid's interest in Didier Drogba has faded because they think the striker is too old.
Director of football Pedja Mijatovic has confirmed that the Spanish champions are still weighing up a move for Michael Ballack but believe Drogba may now be past his best.
"Drogba is a current Chelsea player and I think he would find it difficult to persuade his club to let him go," said Serbian Mijatovic, whose goal won Madrid the 1998 Champions League.
"However, totally independent of his situation with Chelsea you have to accept that he's 29 turning 30 and that needs to be taken into consideration for us." -
old ? 29 is just the peak of some players..
-
Isnt Ballack older?
and their still chasing him even though he's injured. -
drogba's a later bloomer.
