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.

Pandev and Vucinic are Serie A tested, Benzema isn't.

I know Benezema is everyone's favorite young player, but I'll admit - I hate the guy. He's egocentric, selfish, behaves cocky, easily gett's aggressive and is overconfident. I can't stand his approach. But yes, he scores, he plays supercalifragilisticexpialidocious.. but it's a personal thing.

Gomez is good, but this season hasn't been his best till now.

But the thing is they're also not Milan quality, while Bezama is. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/unsure.gif) I've seen enough of both Pandev and Vucinic and they seem just one notch below what I'd expect a club like Milan to sign. Not bad players, yes. But not particularly earth shattering ones either.

Yeah, he has all these qualities that you'll call bad. But one thing we've got to set aside is this do we want classy, yes-boss type of players to play for Milan, or inglorious basturds and punks who help us win? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/huh.gif) What a player does or how he behaves is his own personal matter. They don't make them Maldinis anymore, so we better decide and soon. Because I've heard the same argument for Gourcuff (the only thing I've seen from him is diving). Well my friend, Inzaghi is the biggest diver in these parts of the wood, even Pippo will admit that. And what about Ambro? That guy is a frigging axe murder - he'll shoulder and elbow anybody and anything that moves.

And besides, what would you call Seedorf, a Milan legend of sorts? He's what I'll call egocentric, selfish, behaves cocky, easily gett's aggressive and is overconfident. And then some. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif) That's hippocrisy, and I'm not aiming this at anybody, but even if I said something like this, it'll be hippocrisy. I'm not taking sides, I like to call things down the middle. But I think it'd be better if we decided on what sorts of players to sign, because there will be all sorts of animals in world football. Gone are the days of innocence that you and I like to remember.

Agreed. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sleep.gif) Still I'm confident he'll bounce back.
