DIDIER DROGBA handed over gold rings worth £800,000.00 to his old Chelsea team-mates rings worth over to commemorate their Champions League triumph in May.
Fernando Torres and sacked boss Roberto Di Matteo were absent for the Chelsea Harbour Hotel event hosted by Drogba.

The gold rings were specially designed with diamonds and sapphires.
Every player’s name and squad number was also inscribed, along with the date they defeated Bayern Munich and the score.
According to Drogba: “I am very proud of what the club achieved that night and wanted to give something to the team so we can all look back and remember that moment.”
Terry responded: “You’re my hero and everyone at Chelsea loves you.”
Shanghai Shenhua’s Drogba is training with Chelsea ahead of Ivory Coast’s African Nations Cup campaign.
Torres may have stayed away as it was his son’s second birthday yesterday.
Juan Mata and Petr Cech also did not attend.

ReplyDelete£800,000 just on rings? We are speaking of about 200 million naira here, na wah oh! Football is blood money, recession or credit crunch no dey their dictionary
ReplyDeleteAyaya,yeah,he is economically bouyant.not surprise.
ReplyDeleteHmmm,this is cold comfort mr drogba as chelsea is out of the champions league race.i suppose u where trying to boast their morale.their chance of wining the domestic league is very narrow.mr benitez a phenomenon,mr abrahmovich,a co Phenomenon,and inspirator.
Chelsea ordeal is complex.they need spiritual healing.i hed the dude is planning to play for his former club on loan
I blame the fans. they keep coming to staduims, buying ticket and club marchandise. imagine, greece clubs played in the champions league and their league still running despite the country economic problem. nou camp and bernebua is always full to capacity and yet spain are looking for bailout. humans too like football
ReplyDeletePls where is Mikel?
ReplyDeleteThe people of ivory coast could have made better use of that money after the devastation caused there by NATO, the french colonialists and their african puppets.

ReplyDeletekeeep your rotten mouth shut because it smells. Drogba have done more great things to his country than any of your presidents or spiritual leaders in your God forsaken country.
2007 he signed a 3 million pounds contract with Nike and he gave out the whole money to build a state of the earth hospital in his country and employing the best of the best team of doctors for different ailments.
After the crisis in his country, he was nominated the ambassador for peace in his country. He is more respected in his country than any of your spiritual leaders. If you have nothing to do, go and hug the transformer
I'm not the kind of guy who tell people what to so with their money because I am not a financial adviser. Buttttt this is a total waste especially coming from a dude from his country if you know what I mean. Don't quote me if you don't
