While Didier Drogba was relegated to Chelsea's bench for most of the games last season, his move to play with Montreal Impact may have been the best one for him and the worst one for the English club. The Ivory Coast striker is on a one-year contract with the MLS side, and at 37, he
Drogba's Fine Form
11 goals in 11 games

Radamel Falcao, Is He Even Alive?
Radamel Falcao's career can be split into two parts, before the 2014 World Cup and after. While he did not participate in Brazil due to an injury, his performances have seriously gone down the drain. He was presented to Manchester United fans as a big deal, and his performances were far from it,
While he was under the wing of Louis van Gaal, Falcao only scored four goals in 28 games with the Red Devils during the EPL season. In eight games with Chelsea this season, "El Tigre" has only scored one goal out of the 15 scored by the team this season.
Falcao may be soon on his way out from Chelsea

Costa, Far Away From Dream Debut Season
Diego Costa did not waste much time to make an impact with Chelsea last year. His debut with the Blues was one of the best the club and its supporters had ever seen from a player coming from a different league. He adapted quickly and was in contention to become the goal-scoring leader of the EPL last season.
In the 26 games he played, Costa scored 20 goals, making him the best striker for Chelsea last season. However, he was not able to contribute with any goals in the Champions League. This season, his form has taken a steep drop. In eight league matches, he has two goals and two assists plus a goal in the UCL.
Despite all the negativity surrounding him and his team, Costa is quite optimistic

Where's Pedro?
Pedro's move from Barcelona to Chelsea sparked many guesses of how Barcelona would do without him and how he would do away from the club that saw him grow. In his first game with Chelsea against West Brom on the road, Pedro scored and the hopes of him becoming the next Costa at the London-based club rose.
So far, the 28-year-old Spanish striker has not been able to succeed and live up to the expectations. In nine games with
