yup

drogba really only started to get noticed in the last couple of seasons, as before he was a defender! his consistency isnt anywhere near the same level as cisse, and it was only when he started scoring in Europe that teams like chelsea started being interested .

I've seen both play and have to say ciss? impressed me more. Thing is, if you play up front for chelsea and marseille you will get more chances than if you play up front for liverpool and auxerre. Drogba might improve, but he doesnt seem to have the intelligence or the clinical finishing of cisse.
