Muzchap 8,966 Posted June 2, 2013 Share Posted June 2, 2013 Lol'd hard when he ran to Jose after he scored just so that Jose would love him even more so that he'd be in the starting 11 next season, get lost already.Seriously are you that bigger c**t - to not wish Essien a decent servant of our club a moment of happiness?This guy done a lot for the club and the way people speak him is really bad!#sad_day Las7, The only place to be and Kieran. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jusek 2,031 Posted June 2, 2013 Share Posted June 2, 2013 Nice header. I love how he runs to hug José at the end of video. IliyaDamyanov 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZanSnake 1,211 Posted June 2, 2013 Share Posted June 2, 2013 Would be only good as squad depth, which might come in handy if another injury like Romeu might occur. Don't think we could entitle the role to Chalobah or Ake if the injury occurs around a series of a hectic schedule with some big teams. Rotation would be key, imo.

Rubber bullets 1,183 Posted June 2, 2013 Share Posted June 2, 2013 I doubt it, he hardly ever got in midfield at Madrid, used mainly at RB because Arbeloa is shitIf Mourinho was as sentimental as you think, then he would have asked for Paulo's contract to be extended no? Speaking of Paulo he actually put him up for sale in summer 2007, i remember him saying one of three players was leaving before the end of the transfer window Paulo, Johnson or i can't remember the other one, Johnson was the one who eventually left.Also i thought Carvalho played well in his first season at Madrid, not the world beater he was 04-08 but he did allright, in the second season his performances nosedived and was rightfully dropped.Mourinho seem's to want Modric and De Rossi, do you think he would play Lampard and Essien if he signs those two? absolutely no way. Lampard will be used like Scholes from now on and Essien (at best) will cover at RB when Azpi needs a rest.That depends if they come and what formation he used. If he were to revert to a 4-3-3 he could well put both Essien and Lampard in it with De Rossi/Modric. Of course what you and me are saying in terms of transfer is just media speculation of course.

Popular Post! Jase 43,479 Posted June 2, 2013 Popular Post! Share Posted June 2, 2013 I know Essien is no longer the player he once was but I don't know why whenever people speak about him these days, there always seem to be a grudge or hatred feeling. People suddenly just seem to get so aggressive all of a sudden and some even agitated and pissed because of his supposed 'daddy-son' relationship with Mourinho. It's like as if he has just committed a sinful crime or something really really bad.

These same people slagging off Essiens relationship - will be jizzing if Hazard or Mata or another player was doing it.We have some fickle fans here... The guy sustained 2 massive injuries and has clawed himself back to being a good player - Jesus where's any respect? It's not like he has ever done anything bad to Chelsea!?!?

Leif 6,006 Posted June 2, 2013 Share Posted June 2, 2013 I really think he's actually been one of Madrid's worst players this season. His crossing & passing has been horrific.However, with that said; he has had a few decent games at right back with around 2 acceptable performances in midfield. But is decent enough for us now? Would he accept being a deputy? I'm sure he could do the job vs. a League One team for us if they're not full of energy etc. (I think an enthusiastic Championship side would run him over) but I'd only accept this as a possibility if his wages dropped to something like £35,000 a week - which I can't see happening.

Las7 951 Posted June 3, 2013 Share Posted June 3, 2013 I think he would be good for depth, but if we do get any offers I'd sell him. Even this season we could have used a guy like Essien despite his injuries for rotational purposes. Kind of sad to write that for one of my favorite players but that's pretty much how good he is right now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rubber bullets 1,183 Posted June 4, 2013 Share Posted June 4, 2013 Agreed.....I mean, he cant be getting in the way of our world class holding midfielders like Mikel can he?So would you rather he take over Mikel, or actually buy a holding midfielder and get rid of both of them?

Sir Mikel OBE 4,920 Posted June 4, 2013 Share Posted June 4, 2013 So would you rather he take over Mikel, or actually buy a holding midfielder and get rid of both of them?I'd give those two, along with Romeu, a chance to see what they can do under what Mourinho will try to create with us.I wouldnt be looking to buy another until winter at the earliest. I'm convinced that those three, along with Ramires, can do the job well enough for us in the pivot.

Or I really will begin to despise you.Despise him?Tell you what....get down the Bridge and try and 'despise' someone like Essien in front of Chelsea supporters and see how that works out. He's a great servant to this club who has suffered two terrible knee injuries and you want to despise him? Fuck me....oh and this isn't you being victimised for holding a contrary opinion (god knows you'd probably love to play that victim card again), but you've got to admit you're being a bit of a .

Special Juan 28,141 Posted June 5, 2013 Share Posted June 5, 2013 I worry about Essien, simply because before he went out on loan his passing and all round game was so poor I could not see him being his old self. He's done OK at Madrid but for me he maybe taking the place of someone who could offer more than him. I would love to be proved wrong, and hope I am but I am not so sure about him anymore.

lucio 5,418 Posted June 5, 2013 Share Posted June 5, 2013 looks like fernandinho is joining city. with him and toure in midfield were going to need allot better than an old essien in our midfield. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
