New Chelsea boss Carlo Ancelotti will not allow striker Didier Drogba to leave, saying he is a key part of his plans.

The Ivory Coast striker has been linked with a move to Inter Milan and reunion with former Blues boss Jose Mourinho.

However, Ancelotti insisted: "Now I have Drogba in my team and he will be staying."

He told Italian Radio Deejay: "I will not sell him to Mourinho."

Sir Sage must be a sick man. Anelka is well appreciated by every chelsea fan and needs to be respected fool. He might not click in some games but is very useful to us. Once again we do not need Pato.

Drogba is simply wonderful. Bt I tink we stil need Pato 2 complement him. Pls sel Anelka cuz he loses d ball alot, nt sharp enough, incosistent anonymous wen faced wit quality dfndrs plus he is d highest goal scorer which wil certainly ad value 4 d worthless player

Good call from Carlo but please do not i repeat, do not spend our money on a player like Pato because he is not an infant terrible. Premiership is not serie A and it will take years for him to develop but not at this stage. There are good players that can add firepower to our attack and Obafemi Martins or Anichebe not Sturridge will fit in because of their pace which Drogba or Anelka lack. Forget about spending mega cash for what we need is at backyard. My only fear for Carlo who seems sometimes unpredictable having been followed by me right from his days with Reggiana, Parma, Juventus and Milan and still feels upset with him after dropping the scuddetto with Juventus on a wet afternoon in Perugia after having about a or more than ten point gap before surrendering to Zaccheroni's Milan on the last day. Chelsea fans must brace themselves for any eventuallity but I do wish him and expect the very best with my beloved Chelsea.
