Michael Essien

[Term-X 7,891]

Maybe we are negotiating a new contract to get him tied up on a lower wage?

Why would he agree to a lower wage?, when he has a contract till 2015, he's not an idiot.

3 years left to run on his contract. Dress him up as a CL and multiple PL and other trophies winner (plenty of title winning experience), and pretend that his poor form is because he's still not quite 100%. Easy 10-15 million there.

No chance, if we even attempted to sell him, he would reach £5m max.

Maybe he realizes that if he is to be a bit part player at the club he would need to get a lower wage or otherwise be pushed out of the Champion's League Winners squad altogether.

Transfermarkt (lol) values him at an astonishing 29 million.

That still doesn't make sense, he won't be happy with being a bit-part player anyway. So he isn't going to lower his wages, for moral reasons.

Tbf, any club in world football that does 5 seconds of research on Essien's current state, won't pay over £5m.

then in that case Torres is truly worth 50m

Italian clubs would still overpay. They always do.

Torres is valued at 31 million pounds by that site. I don't know how they can come up with these figures. Perhaps Ron the maths teacher (Zolayes) can design some equations for this purpose

sorry Maths equations are built using logic ... Logic doesnt exist in the transfer market .. Better to study Chaos theory or Eisenbergs Uncertainty Theorem

[KonohasOrangeFlash 2,607]

Sell him to an Italian Team. Juve or Inter could use him.

Torres I can understand to an extent. When you buy Torres, you're looking at a ridiculous amount of merchandise revenue, probably one of the highest in the world after Ronaldo and Messi.

ahh but now there is Drogba.

[Madmax 9,219]

This guy's situation is a complete nightmare. 3 years to run on his deal and he is nigh on finished at this level already. Whoever decided to hand him a contract extension while he was nursing knee ligament damage needs to be shot.

~10m € isn't too shaby.
