LDN Blue 7,903 Posted December 12, 2014 Author Share Posted December 12, 2014 It's like it had been ages since he left but he was a Chelsea player a year ago.. What a player he was!I have no doubt that if it wasn't for that 2009 injury, he'd still be here. Very much a vital part of our team! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clevemayer 764 Posted December 12, 2014 Share Posted December 12, 2014 greatfull for all he did. Legend. Certainly best Box-To-Box midfielder from 2005 - 2009, so sad for him... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very much a vital part of our team!A real shame, great player, played whenever and where ever needed.I read the club advised him to reduce the mass on his legs because it would impact him later on in his career with regards to becoming more injury prone. Serious knee injuries followed. Real shame. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spike 12,049 Posted January 25, 2015 Share Posted January 25, 2015 Imagine 2006 Essien in this team. Also: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-2925032/Michael-Essien-t-believe-Frank-Lampard-trying-beat-Chelsea.htmlBut Essien believes that Chelsea fans will not forget what Lampard gave the club. ‘Well, you know how fans are but I believe the Chelsea fans are always going to give him their warmth and respect everything that he did for the club,’ he said. 'I’m sure that they will give him a welcome.’ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueLion. 21,484 Posted January 25, 2015 Share Posted January 25, 2015 Essien, if he ever comes back here, would get an incredible reception to be sure, especially after turning down offers from other English sides (though I for one wouldn't have begrudged him a move elsewhere in England).

Essien19 1,415 Posted June 2, 2015 Share Posted June 2, 2015 So sad that he wasn't able to finish his career at Chelsea. He is one of my favourite players ever, our engine in midfield and so likeable.The goal against Barcelona was spectacular, at the time i got the flu, but despite headache i was cheering so loud, unbelievable.I try to honour him by using his name, he will never be forgotten! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LAB 1,030 Posted June 3, 2015 Share Posted June 3, 2015 I am surprised. I thought he would continue to play in a big league. Greek Superleague is a mickey mouse league and it's boring so i'm not extremely happy for the Bison.One can guarantee that he will have a good time staying here though and the fans will give him much love for sure.
