DROGBA: City in talks with agent?

                              (Article that has appeared in the Sun and on their website this morning)

Well as reported on here last week Manchester City ARE interested in Didier Drogba. Its rumoured that they are looking to offer £20m for our hitman with a financial package of £6m per season for three years.

Of course at the time it was a story that none of us fans wanted to hear as we prepare for a better assault this season on the Champions League.

Today the Sun has reported a quote from the players agent Thierno Seydi and I have to say its not exactly encouraging for Chelsea. He has said:

"Today he's at Chelsea. Maybe there will be surprises before August 31. I haven't spoken to just anybody. The only contact I've had directly was with City. At his age I can no longer hide the financial aspect. The club that want Didier will have to meet the price."

Of course we all know what agents are like especially when it comes to the financial value of their players. For me though the worrying aspect of what he said comes down to two things. First he acknowledges Didier's age and being 32 has probably one or maybe two seasons left in him performing at the same standard he has latley. The money City are reported to have offered is something I am sure he would want Didier to consider.

Secondly its the fact that according to the agent Chelsea have a price in mind for Drogba. Why would Chelsea even quote a price or put a price tag on Drogba at this stage?.

More to come....
