He should definitely be thinking that he owes Chelsea, so to hear reports of a possible meeting with representatives of Inter Milan is disconcerting to say the least.
Drogba is a man who needs to feel loved and to think that he is one of the players who the team revolves around. With injuries, suspension and Anelka's form, perhaps he feels slightly unwanted at the moment.
His contract is up in 2010 so the club have to make a decision soon. Chelsea don't have strength in depth up front. This makes it even more imperative that Drogba stays, at least until the summer.
But Didier Drogba sitting on the bench for a long period of time might not be good for the team.
The fans know that every team goes through a bad patch and Chelsea are going through theirs without Drogba.
But with Manchester United closing in and Liverpool now at the top, Scolari might soon realise that if he can't change the game from the bench, he might have to change the starting formation.
