Ahh yes, Mika. This was the guy who claimed Chelsea had no chance at repeating this year because they lost Smertin
and Kezman
Anyway, people who say Drogba is completely worthless clearly havent seen all his goals. His freekick against PSG: His two goals at Boro last year, his goal against Newcastle. All were well taken, the first a freekick and the second two while going right past defeders. Comparing him to Rooney can work in terms of fee and goal tally, but there can be no doubt who has the more natural talent. But people love to stick didi just because he cost so damn much. That, like his shin goal, was a fluke. He was maybe worth 10 million, but Kenyon didnt take no for an answer. Now, im going to slap the next person that goes "LOLOL DROGBA 4 27 MILLION HES A PIECE OF CRAP, LOLZ CHEL$KI"

Funny to see how Chelsea spent a lot of money on players and they missed the key factor : a decent attacker. Crespo wont get past any defenders on the EPL, Drogba is way overrated and his finishing is poor, and they dont have that fast guy upfront, to open up spaces and support their striker. All you see is either Crespo or Drogba isolated as the lone man. Plus Robben is being played at the right, and he's not doing much there.
They needed a forward, but they only have strikers.
First off, Crespo will be able to get past English defenders, as he is one of the best finishers in the world. Most Milan fans, I thought, felt the same way. But your kind of hinting at the way the two of them
should be played. Many are speculting Jose will try a 4-4-2 if the team doesnt get going soon enough, and if that happens, it would Drogba, who is a targetman, partnered with Crespo, who is a finisher. Then people will be able to see their talents on full display.
At the moment the 4-3-3 is just too dogmatic from last year to be discarded after two slow games. And there are too many wingers to sit.
