Maresille might do Inter there a handy side and that Drogba looks very good

 

[Adam]

After the games, i'd fancy Inter to buy him in the summer!

Marseille says like Arsenal for Titi, NOT FOR SALE !! He scored 28 goals this season !
But as everybody here knows, French club are not rich, if a great club can offer something like 10£ 12£ (15-20M Euros) I think he can leave. Marseille bought him at Guimgamp 8 month ago for something like 5M 6M Euros (3- 4 M£)
We'll see at the end of the season

Drogba is a great player, great technique and skill. Can´t see them selling him at this point, if he has long contract with Marseille it makes sense to keep him another year and then sell him.

Yeah it makes sense, but with money, you can do everything or almost in the football
Remember for Pires (at Marseille too); was sold !
Ronaldinho at PSG ; was sold !
Laurent Blanc at Marseille; was sold !
Dalmat at PSG; was sold !
Makelele at Marseille; was sold !
ETC ETC ETC

So, I hope Drogba will stay at Marseille one year or more, but here money is needed to survive !

 

[Sammer]

Yeah, I´d like him to stay.

Anways, it´s good to see some french teams surviving in the last rounds of the big european competition.

They are clearly the best football nation at present times, but none of their clubs really play a major role in the CL...

 

[Adam]

France needs a big spender, rather than a big seller. Germany have Bayern in a similar strength league. The French have outstanding youth development, and there is alot of talent there - but the established talent always moves on.

Good point that Adam, need someone to spread the wealth, maybe Roman fancies buying another club?

 

[Mark]

Don't rule out Marseille, they've shown what a good side they are and Drogba is certainly a quality player.

I agree with the rest though BobbyPires, those are my favourites to go through. It's going to be quite interesting.

He will get bored with Chelsea Pretty soon.

 

[Soler]

There was a rumour about that he was interested in Parma or AS Roma awhile ago.
