Is Didier Drogba Going to AC Milan, Inter, or Where?

By Anna Italia

Will it be the "magic of Didier Drogba" to save AC MILAN or seal the domain of INTER?

Just watched Sky Sports News and what was a rumor is no longer a rumor...

Drogba declared to the French magazine France Football that he wants to leave Chelsea after finding out why Mourinho left. 

It is no secret that Mourinho had extreme faith on Drogba over Shevchenko. 

Ironically, the ex AC Milan SHEVA is remaining in Chelsea while the almost ex-Chelsea DROGBA might come to AC Milan.

How will Gilardino and Inzaghi react if Drogba comes to Milan, will they have playing time?  How about Ronaldo?

I think it will be great for AC Milan to have Drogba and make turnovers with strikers to let them chance to recover and shoot goals which is what MILAN need.

Technically, it will work for Milan coach Carlo Ancelotti. The velocity of Drogba and height to deal with "headers," will only benefit an explosive 4-4-2 formation.  Drogba can pair with Gilardino or Inzaghi, depending on Ancelotti's strategy. Also, a 4-3-3 formation might work ---not always -- Drogba, Ronaldo, and Inzaghi.... or Drogba, Gilardino, Inzaghi...  But, if Ancelotti goes for the "albero natale" his famous christmas tree formation, depending on the physical fitness of their strikers, he might go for Drogba or Ronaldo.... 

However, I am still waiting to see the great comeback of Ronaldo. If he does comeback strong and Drogba moves to AC Milan, hey, that will be an explosive duo...

Compared to AC Milan, the advantage of FC Inter is that they already have many "fit" strikers and the super bomber Sweden Zlatan Ibrahimovic. Will Drogba prefer to play with his ex teammate Hernan Crespo in Inter?

The question is whether AC MILAN or INTER will attract DROGBA and whether DROGBA can continue scoring in the Italian Serie A or will he take time to adjust. 

What is your opinion on the "DROGBA" possible move to Milan or Inter?

I definitely support DROGBA move to AC MILAN. No doubt about it.

        It would "have been great" but Crespo might be hurt with Berlusconi after he did not sign him. Anna do you think Crespo can come back to Milan with Drogba?

          I don't think so Crespo is a great player and he'll understand everything plus when a player moves to a club the president is just the person that will pay you with all respect.

      Pietro I met Drogba in UCLA when they came to Los Angeles. I went last year and this year too. Drogba was very nice. Apart from SHEVA, Drogba impressed me the most.

    Milan99 i have seen them play together and they get along benissimo but Drogba will have more opportunities to be among the titolare with Milan because in Inter they already have Ibrahimovic, Crespo, Cruz, Adriano and Milan barely is recovering Ronaldo.

      Milan have big stars strikers Pippo, Ronaldo. Gila, Kaka, better names than Inter. I'm not against him being here at Milan but its that I think he would rather being with Hernan.

        Milan99 i respect your opinion and you are right Drogba and Crespo get along pretty well, but I think Drogba will prefer Milan if he wants to pursue higher achievements. Easier to win with Milan in European competition than Inter.

    Milan99 Drogba might opt to play with Hernan Crespo. The problem is that Inter alreaday have many strikers and it will be hard for Inter coach Roberto Mancini to leave Drogba or Ibrahimovic on the bench. While Milan coach Ancelotti desperately need effective and consistent strikers. Drogba might see what is best for him: either be with an ex teammate or with a team that might offer him better options in European competition, which is Milan.

    Pietro I see your point on Inter having more consistent strikers and why you prefer Drogba to go to AC Milan. I will agree on the issue that Drogba will have more opportunities to be in the starting line up than with Inter. Yet, there is also the point of Milan99 that Drogba would prefer to play with Crespo.

    Personally, I prefer Drogba with Milan.

    Saw the Sky sports today too. As a chelsea fan- I can't believe he said all those comments. I believe he said them it's just that I think it's completely inappropriate timing. I thought he got paid to play for the Chelsea shirt not for JMourinho. It's a complete lack of respect to the Chelsea fans and to his employer the club. Anyhow, if he does leave Chelsea, I think Inter would be best cuz most likely Jose would go to inter over Milan anytime. Drogba will be another player with huge responsibility in Milan. Right now Milan has Kaka to save the games. Inter is more of a team and pretty much doesn't depend on its strikers to score. I say go to Inter and Cruz unfortunately will be 4th option again.

      Agree not the right time but he is a human that can't leave his feeling away. "I thought he got paid to play for the Chelsea shirt not for JMourinho" ok your right but again he's a human. When you play for a club the coach is so important to you, specially someone like Mourinho. True Chels should be MORE important than Mourinho but Mourinho was like a father, plus you never know the exact reason for Mourinho's departure???

    Just saw your last comment Anna Italia. Drogba at the transfer market is only wise because he's much more fitter than old Ronaldo. Ronaldo does have the experience and so on by why is Milan paying a striker who can't be fit mroe than 5 months? Drogba has shown he's fitter.

      It makes sense. Ronaldo is great, no doubt about it. Problem is that Milan need goals now... and Drogba will be a better option. Now, let's see whether Gilardino will stay or move in January

    Ricardo15 I do not blame you at all. Sure, as Chelsea fan it just upsets you and you are entitled to think that it is a lack of respect from Drogba towards the fans and teammates.

    On the other hand, you touched a delicate point. It will be total surprise if Dr. Moratti hires Mourinho and fires Mancini. In that case, then, I will say that Drogba can go to Inter. But if there is no "Mourinho" in Inter, then, I will say DROGBA will be better in Milan.

    Inter have too many forwards already they should never go for him unless they sell two.

    Drogba could be good it woudl be good to see him at Milan with our forwards. Besides Inzaghi and Ronaldo are so injury prone that Drogba would be useful if we had him and our other forwards.

      Milanista that is what I think. Drogba can be the leading forward as he seems more fit and strong but I trust Ronaldo will return stronger. They can be a great duo.

        Pietro most likely DROGBA will be the main striker if he adapts to MILAN's style. However, that will depend on whether RONALDO come back strong and Gilardino keeps scoring. A touchy situation...

    Milanista I agree that Inter have already too many forwards. They are all active, scoring goals, except Adriano who is still struggling for his comeback. DROGBA will be more useful in AC Milan and he will not be on the benck that much as if he goes to Inter.

    Milan99 I would love to see CRESPO and DROGBA in Milan. Problem is that Milan can take only one and I don't think Inter want to seel Crespo.

        Now that Ronaldo will be out for injury for 8-9 months, it is time to think again on DIDIER DROGBA. Though, Amauri is also indicating a will to play for Milan... who will you prefer?
