The reason we played woefully last season was not becuase Ballck's "awe-inspiring grace" was no longer with us. It was becuase we let many players go without replacing them, coupled with the fact that Lampard got a long term injuy and he came back performing shit and Essien was a shadow of his former self, plus Ramires was still learning the ins and outs of the PL. We got him when he was 30, past his peak and was too slow to be a central midfielder with us, he only was abit more useful when he was in the holding role (a place that also had Mikel and Esien that could do it). Apart from a few moments, he really didn't do a lot to achive legend status. Sure he had a great career before he joined us, but so did Petit but no one remembers him at his time at Chelsea. The only thing that he did for us was marketing, nothing more.
