Drogba is going to be an amazing signing, because I have virtually no expectations. Even mediocrity will be a positive. — Kevin Kostka (@mpbx3003) July 25, 2014
Ecstatic Drogba is back. Also a clear sign that Mourinho knows his squad lacks character. Drogba’s mere presence in dressing room is huge.

Best Chelsea transfer in a long while, Cesc, Luis, Costa and now Drogba! Surely this has to be Mourinho’s dream team. — José Mourinho (@TheBridgeTalk) July 25, 2014
Drogba absolutely gets everything about the club. Time a few of the current crop built that level of affinity.
