K Lo 246 Posted April 26, 2021 I'm sure he could still pass to one of his own players, which has to be worth something. 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BroadstairsR 2,273 Posted April 27, 2021 (edited) So the multi-millionaire Didier Drogba who probably lives a comfortable life of luxury in a warm part of America, when he's not attending to humanitarian issues in his home country, is likely coming to cold, barren and run-down little Ipswich (enticing backwater that it is) at the age of 43 to play "soccer" in league 1. Some of them seem to believe it, such is the illustrious history and world-reknown fame of their football club. chrismakin (remember that idiot?) "Player/Coach role perhapsI can see Drogba being involved at some point, in what capacity I'm not sure."

Crabbycanary3 994 Posted April 27, 2021 Obviously Didier wouldn't want to polish that turd. In fact fracking won't sort that out Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Badger 2,745 Posted April 27, 2021 (edited) At 61, and grossly overweight, Alan Brazil would be a better striker than Ipswich have atm! 😁 Edited April 27, 2021 by Badger 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Capt. Pants 5,004 Posted April 27, 2021 3 year contract, £50k a week, yeah go for it Ipswich, you know it makes sense. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hogesar 10,761 Posted April 27, 2021 I hope their owners are as dense as they're making themselves look right now, ITFC will probably end up out of business. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kathy 823 Posted April 27, 2021 Wont be the first time. Didn't Finidi George turn out to be much much older than what it said on his birth certificate? He got found out when he had to go for an emergency appointment at the dentist. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AJ 1,358 Posted April 27, 2021 Well, good to see the new owners are utterly delusional. Should be a good fit for the club! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
C.I.D 358 Posted April 27, 2021 The lunatics have truly taken over that particular asylum ..............the comedy value shows no sign of abating 🤣 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
alex_ncfc 686 Posted April 27, 2021 I've been saying for years they are the gift that keeps on giving but is there no end to their complete delusion and comedy value? I love the way they make out we're tinpot because we've "never won anything" apparently, yet they can't see what's happening closer to home 😂 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Graham Paddons Beard 2,786 Posted April 27, 2021 Ah yes ... the legend that was Finidi George . Single handedly took the Binners into administration when he held them to a stupendously stupid contract. No one knew his actual age ,but no one could question his ability . I think he scored once . Then he choked on his false teeth and the rest , as they say.... Even better , the Binners then sold to Mucus (cue much waving of £20 notes) and embarked on the best 13 years of their (sorry our) history . If you are reading this Finidi , I salute you .

HazzaJet 267 Posted April 27, 2021 Given his age I think he might now be better as a CB rather than a CF. Depends on whether he’s still got the same level of energy that he had when at Stamford Bridge Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Grando 336 Posted April 28, 2021 So, their new owner is the aptly named Berke... That figures. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
