Chelsea manager Luiz Felipe Scolari has told the club to sell Didier Drogba.
Apparently Scolari wants to cash in on the 30-year-old Ivory Coast striker to increase his transfer funds this summer.
Chelsea want £22 million for Drogba, who has been tracked by Italian giants AC Milan.
Milan have made Arsenal striker Emmanuel Adebayor their top transfer target, but have been put off by the asking price of £35 million.
Reports also suggest that Scolari has offered French winger Florent Malouda to Barcelona as part of an £18 million bid for striker Samuel Eto'o.

Scolari is Brazilianizing Chelsea just like he did to the Portuguese natioanal squad.
He`s also sending away players who have nothing but name ...which he also did in Portugal with Figo etc.
If everything you say above is really true. Who will stop Chelsea??

Chelsea will win nothing again. Liverpool,Manu and Arsenal will stop them easily;
and the CL will go INTERS way. Nice to see when Chelsea will lose in ROME again.
Scolari is a loser as seen at EURO 2008 and 2004 aginst Greece. It will end in tears
for Chelsea. Hopefully Lampard will leave as soon as possible to join Silver Jo.

Scolari might suck as a coach but he`s no loser.
He makes up for his taktical weakness by picking the best players and
using a mixture or kind talk and old school roughness to get them to do
his bidding.
I`d expect good results from him next season.

A new Coach Scolari is doing a big mistake to allow Didier Drogba, Frank Lampard to leave for Chelsea. These two players were keys for succes in Chelsea. I am sure is going to lose everything these season.

Those guys are all you know and all you see.
Trust me after you see some real stars this season you won`t even remember their names.
If the Russian provides the cash..Big Phil will do the rest.

A swap for Robinho would be OK I guess but otherwise he has to stay since I don't see where the goals will come especially with Lampard leaving.

I prefer Eto`o instead of Robinho. Actually if Chelsea could get both it would be great. Robinho,Ronaldinho and Deco in the middle with Eto`o up front- who could stop a team like this?
If these names I mention somehow become a reality- Goals would not be lacking my friend.
