Michael Essien

Best of luck Mike. Simply the best midfielder in the world at his best and a great servant to the club. Unfortunately one of the unluckiest players I've come across.

One of three players i've ever had on the back of a shit as a child. In his prime going forward he truly was a train. Best of luck Essien.

What?!

Hahahah

obviously someone was hungry and ate that R :eyebrows: OMNOMNOMNOM

[darrus 422]

Sad.

Thanks for everything.

But he really has no chance here but ocasionally coming on as a substitute, hopefully he'll get playing time in Milan. Was ok last year at Real Madrid, I even remember their fans wanting the team to buy it. So he probably has something in him yet and even if it's not enough for one of the leading PL club he still may get some decent matches for Milan. Good luck!

Goodbye and thank you for all bison

It's an odd goodbye because he's been a shell of himself for longer than he was actually himself.He really only had 3 fantastic years with Chelsea and 5 years of frustration, injury, and mediocrity. For those three years, he was some player though!

Yeah, feels like we've said goodbye to him some time ago..

Thanks for everything, Bison. That move just suits my emotional meltdown with another player who's done so much for us in the past leaving. I can't believe he's faded so young even before entering his thirties, but that's what injuries can do to a player sometimes. I'll always remember some of his cracking goals. Good luck wrapping up your career, mate.

Played for Chelsea, Real and now Milan. Seriously, that's one hell of a career!

[Liquidator 5,176]

Confirmed by the club.

Good luck Michael. Incredible player and a great guy. All the best, Bison.

[Toli 977]

One of the best midfielders of the past years. incredible, incredible player and such a humble guy. he had everything in him. dynamic, technique, pure power, a great shot, good vision, good passing. just everything. he was also a "never give up guy" and could get your team back, when losing and motivating them. I'll never forget his great goal against Barca.

Thx for everything Michael. A true servant of this club and he gave us everything. he was worth every penny we paid for him. Such a shame the injurys destroyed him

Goodbye and I wish you all the best at AC Milan.
