Just a thought regarding Drogba

no because vidic would beat him up

I'd hate to see that guy in a United shirt. He was a top player no doubt, but as a person and the way he often conducted himself on the pitch epitomises much I dislike.

In my mind it's almost like asking if I'd like to see Terry in a United shirt.

I will admit I was pretty hammered before/during and after the final so my memory of the game is pretty blurry, I just remember his goal, he was tracking back to give the penalty away but then of course he scored the winning penalty.

Macca – Berba would give us the same work rate (i.e. none) and less of a goal threat!

Drogba is a proper target man that a Rooney/hazard/Kagawa would love to play behind – his hold up play is superb and he would give them plenty of space to operate in. Ok hes not as good as he was but we would be looking to use him for FA Cup/Premiership games rather than games against Europes best

Lol – little pea. I agree sometimes he oversteps the mark but only in assort of “gamesmanship” way. I don’t think he’s ever done something horrible off the field (as a far as im aware) the way Terry has.

Droga is frustrating yes but when he was feigning and diving against barca and all their players were moaning I admit I was loving it!

If he was demanding a length of contract with wages even Chelsea do not deem reasonable, I'm sure we'd be nowhere near.

I think that's being harsh. Though he has been embroiled in a few controversies, he is no John Terry.
He donates large amounts to charity, and seems like quite a humble guy.

Depending on where we were in the window - if in pre-season, Rooney or Wells picked up a seriouse injury and time was short to fill the hole, then i take him in a heart beat!

I'm not talking about him being pure evil! I've no doubt he's a nicer guy than Terry as well, but then again Dr Evil probably is too.

Plus lots of bad people have given money to charity, but as I say my comment was not AT ALL about him being an inherently bad person, it's about his personality on the pitch I really dislike.

I'm talking about the way he's flounces round the pitch, and has tantrums if things don't go his way, or the way he's built like a moster yet dives all over the floor and then feigns injury while there (the examples in the Barca game were actually an embarrassment to football and himself).

I'm not saying other players haven't done this or don't do it, but there is very little I like about Drogba's personality on the pitch (outside his football talent when he decides to actually apply it because he isn't sulking).

He is a classic case of if he's not happy with the manager or how he's being used, then forget the team, he'll act like a big baby and simply not try or not play to his full potential. That's about as low as you can get as a pro. As soon as things then do go the way he wants, he runs through brick walls on the pitch which just shows how much he wasn't trying previously.

This is no way this takes away from his ability, and when he wants to be he can be an absolutely beast of a player, as good as they come. One that is literally unplayable at times.

I'd rather keep Berbatov
