Michael Essien

[NishC300 1,865]

Could be due to neither team confirming the transfer as of yet? Same as mata when he went, they didn't tweet until it was completed.

I still haven't seen one.

Gone for good.

Good luck Essien. Amazing athlete before the injuries, he was a bull.

Essien has been tremendous for Chelsea, he has done so much for this club and it's a shame that because of another transfer he is receiving so few good words.That's why we decided to make something for him to express our gratitude. If you want to say 'Thank you' to our great former player send your photo with #ThankYouBison to chelsea_ru(at)yahoo.com and we will make a tribute for him. The more photos the more Ess will be pleased seeing them.
