It all depends. Drogba is a winner and no trophies is a major downfall for Chelsea. Yeh they can win the Champions league which has eluded the for so long (As well as Arsenal might i just say now to save arguments). But with Arsenal and United dominating the league and one of those two likely to win it Chelsea have squandered their only realistic trophy in the form of the League cup. And with that Utterly embarrassing loss to Barnsley these Next couple of Games are make or break for Drogba's Chelsea Career. There have been lots of links to him going to AC Milan. He'd do well but he'd be very bored. Italian football is very slow and defensive and doesn't have the raw Tempo and power of the Premier League. You only have to look at Arsenal Dominating AC Milan and Liverpool Also winning Comfortably against Inter Milan Respectively. So IMO Drogba will stay at Chelsea but they'd better be willing to increase his wages if AC or another big team come in with a very attractive deal.

Team Pld Pts Arsenal 29 66 Man Utd 28 64 Chelsea 28 61 think about it... we win our game in hand and united win theirs, that leaves us 2 points behind Arsenal and 3 behind united, both still have to come to stamford bridge.

Anelka was good at speed and Finishing and he still is good at finishing but as with most strikers he's slowing up. Don't get me wrong he can still run with the best, Henry was the same, As soon as you hit 29,30 you lose your edge. Not necessarily all the time. Zidane, Maldini, Romario were still pretty good before they retired. And Maldini still is going at nearly 40 (Turns 40 this month i think) But Chelsea need a young athletic and strong striker. I wouldn't be surprised if they tried to poach Adebayor TBH.
