Chelsea striker Didier Drogba cranks up his machinery for shot at European glory before Stamford Bridge swansong Drogba wants two more years on the same salary he currently commands; given his age, Chelsea had indicated 12 more months on reduced terms and the Ivorian's chances of staying appear to depend on whether replacements can be attracted or whether he budges. Added to that, he has a highly-lucrative offer, believed to have been provisionally accepted, to follow Nicolas Anelka to play in China. Lampard's own future - he has one more year on his contract - also remains in some doubt and both he and Drogba would probably have left had Andre Villas-Boas stayed as manager and pushed through the plans to create a "hungry, young team" (as one Roman Abramovich put it). Whether they stay may depend on who becomes the new manager. Indeed despite Drogba's accomplishments, his desire has been questioned at times over the past couple of seasons especially as there is a will to alter the way that Chelsea play. Fernando Torres, after all, wasn't acquired for £45m to sit on the bench as he did at Wembley on Saturday and Abramovich's associates have expressed their frustration at Drogba and some of his antics. Lampard brushed that aside. "I'm desperate for him to stay," he said. As a man I love Didier and whatever he decides to do whether he stays or whatever he has been a hero for this club and will go down as a legend. And one, Lampard said, and despite the players such as Radomel Falcao, Gonzalo Higuain and Andre Schurrle Chelsea are considering, who would be impossible to replace. "There is no-one like Didier as a player, not with the kind of bulldozer kind of thing he has got and with the sublime touch and finish that he has got," Lampard explained. It's not easy to find that .But clubs always move on. Eventually everyone has to move on at some stage and you have to find a different player or different way of playing but for what he has done at this club he deserves everything. He is an absolutely fantastic player. The amount of important goals he has got for us in cup finals and big games throughout his career makes him an icon and historic figure at Chelsea without a doubt. He's such a handful. It's been a pleasure to play with him and it would be a pleasure to carry on playing together because he gives defenders such a hard time. He is not just that big man. He scores goals that matter and that's priceless. His goal on Saturday, in which the Liverpool defender Martin Skrtel stood off, for fear of what Drogba could do, summed up his finishing ability but also his presence in big games. He appears to intimidate opponents; commanding respect on the biggest stages. John Terry said it would be a "such a shame" if he now left. For Drogba himself there was awareness that he had made "history" with his goal and also a desire to capture that final achievement: winning the Champions League trophy. Memories of that competition are less rich for him - from his sending off in the final in Moscow in 2008 to his rant into the camera and ban following the semi-final exit the following year. Now there is another final, in Munich, a week on Saturday which, Drogba said, is "the last one we are chasing, the one we haven't won." Again he is expected to start ahead of Torres and would he feel his Chelsea career is incomplete without winning the Champions League? "It's not finished yet," he said. But he knows this might very well be his last shot as a Chelsea player at the biggest club prize of them all.
