kuyt vs drogba?

I actually think it is an interesting question. Drogba has no doubt been an essential cog in the Chelsea machine and was the ideal player to play the lone front man in Jose's 4-1-2-2-1 formation, but he doesn't have the flair that Abramovich seems to want to see and a change to two up front might lessen his importance and effectiveness.

So far we have only seen a little bit of what Kuyt offers but I think he has shown all the aspects to his game which will make him a very valuabel addition to our squad. His link up play is much neater than Drogbas and he is strong and mobile, with and eye for goal. However I don't tink he will play as many games as Drogba, so I'm going to say that Drogba will have better numbers at the end of the season, but that Kuyt will have made a bigger contribution to our team.

Drogba was completely anonymous at Cardiff as Agger had him in his pocket. Very over-rated and worth about 20% of what the Chavs paid for him

Drogba is not overrated, he's underrated. Everyone always bangs on about him being ****. £20m+ is a ****ing joke though, £10m+ even

[Charlie_B]

Drogba's decent enough, if you can afford to spend that amount on a player worth (say Cisse's worth £14m) £14m+

He's a luxury in so far as he's avergage enough and can get away with it because there are others who can pick upthe pieces.

One good game in 5 does not a player make

It's yet another valuable contribution to the forum from Mr Wankstand, the Liverpool fan who is pretending to be a Chelsea fan. :whatever:

How do you know this?

Oh and Kuyt is less than half the transfer fee than Drogba was...

I believe Crouch was a Chelsea fan as a boy, so that makes one famous Chelsea fan at least.

Just because Chelsea have a small fanbase you shouldn't assume that other clubs are in the same position. By my estimation living near London, Chelsea have fewer fans around the capital than Arsenal, Spurs, West Ham or even lowly Crystal Palace.

When Pennant signed for Arsenal as a teenager he was asked by a journo what his main ambition was and said without hesitation "to play for Liverpool one day". I recall it vividly. Friends of mine from Cardiff who attended Bellamy's wedding this year and have known him all his life told me years ago he was a Liverpool fan. No idea about Neill, except for a thing on here, quoting his father.

The fact is that we have a huge nationwide fanbase, many times what Chelsea can only dream of - plus huge worldwide support, which Chelsea will never have.

You only have to look at the vast acres of empty seats at the Chelsea end in Cardiff for the Community Shield to have an idea of the relative level of support of the two clubs. There were very few Chelsea fans in view at Blackburn last weekend either for that matter - hundreds of empty seats at the away end. Pathetic support really.

I think Crouch was a QPR fan as a kid.

Because he used to go on Koptalk?

To be fair he gets criticism for not being consistant but in every game he does the ****ty holding the ball up and moving the centrebacks around aspects of a forwards job very well. He isn't a £20m+ player but he is very good at what he does, the uber Kevin Davies if you will (except he scores more goals).

when drogba plays football instead of ballet hes actually a very useful player. maybe this season he'll stay on his feet more, i doubt it though.
