Drogba would consider Real

Drogba has been strongly linked with a move away from Stamford Bridge this summer, despite the Ivory Coast international claiming he does not want to leave the Blues.

Milan and Barcelona have been linked with Drogba, while a reunion with former Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho at Internazionale has also been rumoured as a possibility.

Drogba's agent Pierre Frelot has reiterated that the former Marseille man is happy at Chelsea, but has hinted that he could be interested in a move to Real.

"Why Not," Frelot said in the Daily Mirror when asked about the possibility of Drogba moving to the Bernabeu.

"Didier is calm because he is at a great club like Chelsea, but Real Madrid are also a great club."

Chelsea are reportedly chasing Real Madrid's Brazilian international Robinho and the news could open up a possible swap deal for Drogba.

You either want to stay or want go...what's with all this hinting business. It's obvious he wants to go to a bigger european club but he doesn't want to upset Chelsea. I'd just sell the big girl.

Another Prozzie flashing their (metaphorical) tits at Real. How would Drogba and RVN operate in the same team.

If he leaves it leaves a big gap. Strikers that settle in really well from abroad in their first season are hard to come by, (remember Drogba and Adebayor's first year over here). Think he's off, if not we'll just have another season of him being a life long Chelsea fan when the goings good, and never having wanted to sign in the first place when things go wrong.

They'd probably work quite well, but I doubt they're really in for him. Both Van Nistelrooy and Raul need replacing soon enough but the fans have really taken to Ruud and Raul is their golden boy so I doubt they would replace either one with someone who only has one or two good years left.

Is there even one football player in the world that would not "consider" playing for Real?

Torres.

But he'd consider playing for Liverpool, so that says everything.

So Raul/Ruud/Ronaldo/Huntelaar/Drogba ??

If Drogba was to be managed by a half decent manager who is not up his own arse and cant tell the horrible twat to stay on his feet and use his strength and power in the right way........This guy could and should be the best footballer in the world.

Mourinho may be a bit of a twat but he is a genius in terms of managers. Second best manager in the world for me.

Drogba's flaws are his own fault and no-one else's.

half of the barca team including the likes of messi, puyol, xavi, inesta and I don't think the likes of rooney, ferdinand, and neville and so on would play for madrid either.
