IAN WRIGHT believes Didier Drogba would be mad
to leave Chelsea. Drogba, 29, is likely to quit Stamford Bridge
this summer to team up again with former Blues boss Jose Mourinho
at Inter Milan. But Wright has warned the Ivory Coast hitman not to
expect the grass to be any greener in Italy.
The Arsenal legend said: "Drogba always plays for
Chelsea when he's fit. "He's scoring goals, he gets paid a fortune
and the fans love him. "But he comes out with some unbelievable
rants at times for no apparent reason.
"Does he think he's going to go to Inter, AC Milan,
Real Madrid or Barcelona and find it any easier than it is at
Chelsea? "I don't know what his problem is and I'm really confused
by his behaviour. "He's not going to get it any better than he's
got it right now at Chelsea."
Wrighty also believes Avram Grant was destined to fail
from his first day as Chelsea boss. Grant replaced Mourinho in
September but was sacked after the Blues finished two points behind
Premier League champs Manchester United and lost to Sir Alex
Ferguson's side in the Champions League final.
Wright said: "Grant was definitely doomed from day one
but only because of who he replaced. "Mourinho left
unceremoniously. He had his problems with Roman Abramovich and
there was only ever going to be one winner. "He was such a
favourite but Grant came in and no one knew who he was. Everyone
wanted to know what he'd done.
"The way the Chelsea fans unloaded on him after the
Carling Cup final defeat proved he was on a hiding to nothing. "In
many ways he was treated like a player. "If he played well the fans
would turn round and say 'well he gets paid enough, so he should
perform like that'. Then when he plays badly they all boo him.
"That's what Avram Grant's position was so maybe it's a good thing
for him not to be there. "He was never going to be a favourite at
Chelsea."
