I didnāt watch much of the Premier League during the 04/05 season and I heard about this Drogba fella supposedly being a bad signing, that was the widespread talk around the pundit class anyway. One game I did see was Chelsea v Middlesbrough early in the new year, this was my first proper look at Drogba playing for Chelsea. It took me about two minutes before I thought to myself, āwhat the absolute fuck are these pundits smoking, this guy is dynamite.ā
That did spring to mind. Thereās examples of incredible Decency and generosity in both cases, and extreme cuntishness to boot. I reckon Mourinho is a very good man behind it all but the game requires extreme cuntishness on occasion. I donāt think heās on a level of a Ferguson who is simply a bitter wanker and a bully of incredible proportions.
I think Jose would get Chelsea back competitive if he went back in summer. Heād bring the right lads up the spine of the team, young team, club legend. Could be worth ago.
Diego Costa was a top class striker for a few years; had his major breakthrough later than a lot of other players. But for about 4 or 5 seasons there, he was up there with the very best.
Like Drogba in many ways, used to bully the absolute fuck out of defenders. A bit of a cunt, no doubt, but a fella youād want on your team.
Was pretty much finished by 30/31 though, hasnāt been the same since. Had a lot of injuries too.
