He definitely knew how to hit it. THE goals against Barca and Arsenal were absolute classics, some of the best goals I've ever seen. Enjoy http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ODxuMH0_M5M

The news of Essien leaving will be just as sad as Mata. What a player this guy was in his prime. Covered EVERY blade of grass on the pitch, and has deservedly won every trophy going here. You were bri

Michael Essien has not play for the BLUES for a very long time and i think is time he should be given the chance after recovering from injury and played few matches last season.

welcome, Im sure you are a supporter of him but last season wasnt good and frankly it doesnt look as if he has a future here now.

A move to a less demanding league might prolong his career but he would have to take a cut in money unless he went to China , Russia or the Gulf

Our board has been amazing this transfer window, but keeping Essien is a huge mistake imo. We can still get a good 8m for him right now, but if we don't sell him now we will have to let him go for free and pay his wages till the end of his contract.

How much time is on his contract? If its a couple of years, why not loan him? Maybe 6 months to see if he can play regular football.

2015. I wonder who's idea it was to offer a contract that long to a player who already had a bad history with knee injuries...

Tbf, in 2009, when he signed that contract, he was still regarded as one of the best midfielders in the world..

He signed a contract in 2008 which would have kept him at the club until 2013. In that same year he suffered a knee injury that kept him out of the game for over 6 months and that wasn't even the first one of those in his career. After recovering from that, he went on to play well for the remainder of the season and even started the next one with some great performances but the fear of a new serious injury was always there. The fears soon became a reality when he missed the second half of the 09/10 season due to a knee injury he sustained at the 2010 African Cup of Nations and at the time there were predictions that he would never be the same again.

Despite all that, the club offered him an extension in June 2010 even though he still had three years left of his previous contract and there would have been more than enough time to see whether he makes a full recovery or not before offering him that new contract. His performances were not the same since that but he was still a useful player then. After another six months on the sidelines last season did some further damage and now he's been shit for a while now. As much as I like Essien, giving a 5 year deal to a player with only one knee was probably one of the biggest mistakes the board have made over the years.

Sell him and get in a class DM would be great.

If he is sold there is not going to be any replacement me think. We have Romeu, Meireles, Lampard, and Mikel for two positions, all that it change is Romeu moving up in the pecking order.

i don`t know if they still do it nor 100% if it`s true, but i heard when Dean Saunders went off to play in Turkey when he arrived they cut the throat of a goat infront of him and smeared the blood on his him for luck.

i really don`t want to diss anyone for their culture but even by my standards i find that a bit radio rental. hope Bison is prepared for that if he goes to them and they still do it/do it

Essien expected to join exodus

Michael Essien looks set to be the latest player to move in Chelsea's extensive summer makeover, with the Ghanaian midfielder attracting serious interest from Fenerbahce.
