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.
Just a thought regarding Drogba

I'd rather keep Berbatov
