“I’m desperate for (Drogba) to stay (at Chelsea). He is a magnificent player. He’s a machine. His body is a machine, when you look at him stripped down. He’s lost no pace, he’s lost none of his finishing instinct. As a man, I love Didier and whatever he decides to do, whether he stays or whatever, he has been a hero for this club and will go down as a legend. It’s been a pleasure to play with him and it would be a pleasure to carry on playing with him because he gives defenders such a hard time. He is not just that big man. He scores goals that matter and that’s priceless.” – Frank Lampard (Sky Sports)
