@VICESports fwiw, Drogba told me Henry tried to recruit him for NY, with TH spending 1 more year, but NY spending interest cooled.

Is there any in this rout with authority to treat with me? Or indeed with wit to understand me?
Wouldn't be suprised if the rumors of not spending money factored in Henrys decision to leave.
Maybe if the club has a change of heart and gets a world class player Henry will unretire?!?!?!?
(not funny enough???)
At least Red Bull was willing to spring for the reported dinner Houllier had with Drogba...(unless Didier picked up the tab...)
Damn.
Drogba's a diving cunt anyway.
Drogba and Henry together? The WIM meter would get fucking shattered.
I thought (incorrectly) that Drogba was done a while ago, and wouldn't have criticized anyone for not taking him. I am very surprised he is still able to contribute at the level he is. He is also very much an intelligent player/coach in Henry's mold, which would be valuable in this league. That said, we weren't going to beat out Chelsea for him this year, unless we did a stupid 4-year guaranteed massive contract. That would have only made him available halfway through the season, and we all know how those mid-season DP additions usually work out.

Drogba finishes both lay up headers off the Titi crosses that BWP and Cahill missed. Just saying. Annnnnd we're through to the Finals.
Let me clear things up before this thread goes bonkers:
, Drogba told me Henry tried to recruit him for NY, with TH spending 1 more year ON HIS CONTRACT, but NY spending interest cooled.
The conversation happened before LAST season.
Not getting Drogba is one thing, but the bigger concern is our "spending interest cooled."
Pretty much this.
Drogba might have been nice to have, but our issue wasn't really scoring goals and it would have been awkward trying to make a lineup the way our roster was constructed, like a square peg in a round hole scenario.
Drogba doesn't play defense or defensive midfield nor would he have helped us go to a 4-2-3-1 earlier in the year.
Not getting Drogba is one thing, but the bigger concern is our "spending interest cooled."
Already have to deal with the Mets acting like they're playing in Milwaukee, don't need these guys closing the wallet too.
I'm not buying it. We will have at least one big money DP next season, on top of BWP. Maybe not two $3M+ guys, but at least one in that neighborhood More than that just gets difficult under the cap anyway, independent of "spending interest."
