Chelsea manager Luiz Felipe Scolari has admitted that the club may sell Didier Drogba, provided they receive the right offer.

The Ivorian appears to have fallen out of favour at Stamford Bridge after a poor showing in last weekend’s 0-3 defeat to Manchester United at Old Trafford.

The striker has been dropped for Chelsea’s last two games, the 4-1 win against Southend United in the FA Cup in midweek, and yesterday’s 2-1 win over Stoke City in the Premier League.

Manager Scolari has now revealed that whilst Drogba may return to the side for next weekend’s FA Cup clash with Ipswich, if the club were to receive a suitable offer for their striker they would be tempted to sell him.

Speaking to setanta.com the Brazilian explained: “Sell him? It’s my choice but I think if someone offers a lot of money, the club might accept it. He still trains very hard and could be in my side next week – but I make the decisions.”

The Chelsea boss also insisted that this applied to all of his players and not just Drogba. He said: “If people offer money for my players, it’s down to the club to accept them.”

With Drogba left out of yesterday’s squad, Scolari handed youngsters Miroslav Stoch and Franco Di Santo the chance to impress, and the pair, on as second half substitutes, both played their part in hauling the Blues back from a goal down to win 2-1 courtesy of two late goals.

Speaking about their contribution, Scolari hinted that they may get further chances in the first team. He said: “Over a five-year period, I’m the only manager here that has given players like [Miroslav] Stoch and [Franco] Di Santo their chance and I want to continue that.”

Galliani wanna offer 5 mil please and sign him asap thanx.

But that still doesn't hide the fact that we need a hitman, someone like Ronaldo (R99), Drogba, Toni, etc upfront to divert the attention of the opposing defenders. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/unsure.gif) A tall, strong, fast and well built guy is needed, someone in the Kaka build (at least). They do the dirty work, and guys like Pato/Gila/Inzaghi finish up with the goals.

Pato is not that guy. Never will be, too.

We have Borriello who I personally have faith in but he's always injured...

I was a fan of him too, but that was months back. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sleep.gif) For me, currently, we don't have a player named Borriello. Still hope he gets back and shows his true worth. He will always be injury prone. I still think we should have sold him for 19m to a Serie A side, and bought Huntelaar instead.

But then who will fill in the quota for Milan breed players ? We need them in order to register for UEFA competitions. And Borriello is a very good choice, when he's back, I hope he can take the pressure off the team by being as decisive as he was in Genoa ...

I mean, I'm not denying Huntelaar's talent, but being placed infront of an Italian defense, many players choke. Take a good look at Gourcuff, he can dribble through 3 or 4 defenders in Liga 1 .. Which, realistically, is miles away from the quality that he faced (and I hope he will face again) in Serie A.

Hence, having Borriello is like hitting two birds with one stone .. A quality Serie A striker and a Milan breed player .. Don't you think ?
