Happens in Africa everywhere...including my home of Eritrea.

to have a goat sacrificed for you is a tremendous acclaim . I received with it with pride mingled with humility

Are you forced to eat it afterwards?

was you told/asked beforehand?

it`s that really that kinda made me think how mad that would be..i just had an image in my minds eye of him meeting the club,fans etc..for the first time and what would be going through his head if they just dropped it on him, like i imagine say Oscar`s face would drop the first time he`s offered jellied eels for example.

anyway i guess it would be something Essien would be aware of if they do it in Africa too..

Would get rid of him sooner rather than later. Don't get me wrong, he's a lovely guy but he simply has absolutely nothing to offer by now. We should have sold him a year ago before he got injured that summer, we probably would have got 20+m now we can be lucky if we get 10 or so. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-2194947/Fenerbahce-want-Raul-Meireles-Michael-Essien-Chelsea.html

Reportedly they alsow ant Meireles, I'd gladly part with, too. Would like Capoue or M'vila as replacement

[Tomo 21,751]

It would be utter suicide selling both Essien and Meireles so late without any replacement, our double pivot would look terrifyingly thin, unless RDM has plans to play Oscar there or move back to 4-3-3.

Essien if we get a good offer we should sell but Meireles (as he showed at the weekend) can still offer a decent squad role for this season atleast.

Lets not do a Arsenal and chuck away all our experience in one go.

Would be lucky if we get over 10 million for this guy.

[Spike 12,049]

Etiene Capoue

Sven Bender

Lars Bender

Joao Moutinho

Andre Bernardes Santos

Are a few players I would replace Essien with.

[BleedsBlue 1,549]

There shouldn't be any need of signing a defensive midfielder if Essien leaves this summer.I am sure that Romeu can be a direct replacement and would benefit the team more with his inclusion rather than of Essiens.

Michael has been an integral part of the team and I thank him for all of his contributions.He definitely was one of the best midfielders in the world but its best if we move on and give the youth more chances.

What a Great Player 3-4 Years Ago...

Chelsea have rejected an offer from Everton for Michael Essien on a season long loan. David Moyes now want N'Zonzi (Daily Mail) -W.

[DH1988 1,348]

Daily mail reporting Wenger has asked about Essien on loan

[Tomo 21,751]

If we loan a player to Arsenal again then is all im going to have to say.

Everton would be a good move for him if we really want to see if he can get back to some sort of him, although having said that i think Everton are a bit more depth to their squad away to becoming serious top 4 contenders.

[DH1988 1,348]

Prefer to have him here. I assume Ghana qualified for the African cup? If so that's a good opportunity for him to get a run of games together for the latter part of the season. Don't think people realise just what our schedule and total games are this season, huuuuuuuge

Hell no essien is staying
