Agree with mhlover. The thing about this fella Drogba is that he is irreplaceable in our system. Zlatan? No. Benzema? Maybe if he grows a spine or two extra. Falcao? Come on. Torres? Well, we've tried that.
Any other striker coming in will require a change of play. We simply cannot park the bus and lump it up to the striker anymore. Positive? I think so. This will give room for Sturridge, Piazon, Josh and other academy players who's not *that* physically strong. Our philosophy the last eight years simply doesn't go hand in hand with youth recruitment, simples pimples.
As much as I hate to see Drogba leave I'm actually a bit looking forward to it as well. I love the way we won the CL this year, because it was the only way to do it, but the next season I would really like us to play to Mata, Torres, Ramires, Luiz and the youngsters "game" (read: the "new" spine); more technical, faster passing and blistering counters with General Lampard as the director.
As for the "new striker chase", I really do think that Torres will blossom with a change of style and better passers in the team. He is by far the "cheapest" solution we can go for with that amount of potential. However, I would really like to see a guy like Schurrle coming in. Main choice as a winger but can play the striker role. And Sturridge will also get his chances and starts as CF.

i agree schurrle looks promising, might be expensive as hes on a 4 year deal or something. Assuming we dont sign anyone else (seems unlikely), this would be my first team but with perhaps ramires on the right and marin/KDB alternating depending on form. id love to see our kaka (piazon) come through too and josh, though im annoyed swansea didnt play him enough.
