Michael Essien

[Reddish-Blue 2,489]

According to Tribal Football, (are they reliable) Galatasaray are keen to offer Essien a path out of Chelsea, are seeking a temporary spell until the end of the season.

As long as Essien can't play against us in the UCL...I don't mind this deal

Essien is cup tied, I believe. I´would rather if he could play, it would be easier to beat Galatasaray.

he is not cup tied. infact he was not even in our 23 man CL squad.

Are you sure ?

If that´s the case, then I´d like to offer my apology, I was wrong.

no need to apologize dude.

i am pretty sure. he was not named in our CL squad, we had to fill in the "homegrown" spots and hence he was sacrificed.

Galatasaray is turning into a retirement home..

[didierforever 7,349]

Still is not much of anything right now. Mstly seems like the agent is creating his own ruckus rather than anything else

Essien is on his way to AC Milan apparently...

The Chelsea midfielder Michael Essien, in lack of playing time, could engage in the coming hours with AC Milan. Galatasaray is also in the running, but the Ghana international would prefer to find the Serie A pace before the World Cup.

[didierforever 7,349]

oh no!!! how can he leave... he was supposed to be our back up for a LB/RB/CDM/CAM and god knows what!!!

[nadavTKL 1,787]

Yes, he's close to AC Milan. Agent is in Milan right now.
