Andy Carroll - Best Striker in the World

[SB]

Kinda unrelated to Andy Carroll but apparently Dider Drogba buys replica shirts to boost his sales and make him look popular

After 3 days maybe Torres will have to start doing the same

Chelsea star Didier Drogba has been buying dozens of his own shirts - hiking him up the club shop sales league table.

The Ivory Coast hitman has reportedly shelled out thousands of pounds for replica number 11 shirts in a bid to try and convince his team-mates he is just as much a crowd favourite as they are.

One Chelsea insider claimed Drogba visits the club shop up to 10 times a week and on one occasion walked out of the store with 40 shirts each costing about £45 a pop - or £1,800 at one fell swoop.

The first-team regular could get all his shirts for free but the £70,000-a-week centre forward is shelling out the cash to force up his shirt sale stats.

A Stamford Bridge source revealed: "Dids is never out of the club shop. He is spending a fortune.

"He is on first name terms with the staff and is easily their best customer.

"The competition to be the most popular is massive and Didier hates losing.

"He has been buying loads of copies of his number 11 shirt and must be up there with the club's top sellers by now.

"Dids has been sending all his replica shirts to his mates back home."

Another thought is that he could be a decent bloke and ships them back to his homeland for underprivileged folk Just a thought !

Didn't think Drogba would have been smart enough for such a cunning plan.

He'll run for President when he returns. It's all part of the big plan

Why wouldn't he just get them for free like it says in the article if he's shipping them home?

Cause it's the thought that counts

Maybe he gets those free one's too. I don't know. I certainly try to pay his no attention at all mate

Rumours that the thigh injury will keep him out for the rest of the season..
Anyone heard anything on this?

No?

Heard 3-4 weeks.

[GTi]

All over the sundays apparently. needless to say hope this is bollocks.

I haven't, but I don't believe it. It would need to be a very serious injury for a thigh injury to keep someone out that long. Even if he'd broken his thigh he's have a fighting chance of playing this season. He'll play soon imo.

[kingfunk]

Iv heard 8 weeks, they don't yet know the root cause of the thigh problem yet. So not surprised if he is out for the season.

[Kenneth]

How many things can be wrong with a thigh?

[GTi]

The injury, in the muscle just above the thigh, has limited blood circulation which hampers the healing process

[Kenneth]

We should inject his thigh muscle direct with Bear blood to aid the heeling process. The possible manimal-esque side effects are surely worth the risk.

[Rudo]

Big Andy will be back for the Mancs come early March,,he'll smash the cunts to pieces and become an instant hit with the Anfield faithful.
