Thank you and best of luck Michael.

Amazing player he was and that goal vs Barca...woah

[lionsden 4,689]

He was undoubtedly the best powerhouse, box to box midfielder in Europe circa 04-08 and he played footie with a smile on his face and was the ultimate team player who was willing to make a sacrifice for the team and play any position demanded of him without any complaint. be it right back, DM, B2B. good luck and thanks for the great memories Bison.

We could well come up against Essien in the Champions League quarter finals, that is of course provided we beat Galatasaray and them Atletico Madrid.

Our Twitter account didn't make anything for Essien's departure. Surely he deserves that at least! Mata got one so should he ofc?

Could be due to neither team confirming the transfer as of yet? Same as mata when he went, they didn't tweet until it was completed.
