Ollie 4,400 Posted July 21, 2008 Share Posted July 21, 2008 As all the above, i'm really happy hes signed for another 5 years. Hes the most hard working footballer ive seen ever in a Chelsea shirt and he really is the express train in the middle of the pitch. Outstanding player, i'd have him in any of my teams. Hes got everything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drogba11CFC 108 Posted July 21, 2008 Share Posted July 21, 2008 Essien's definitely worth £49mil, whilst I'm sure Gerrard falls into the 49p region. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kez 2,727 Posted July 21, 2008 Share Posted July 21, 2008 Gerrard would mug you for 49p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stamford 3 Posted July 21, 2008 Share Posted July 21, 2008 Gerrard would mug you for 49p He wouldn't Kez, because he ain't hard enough. Brilliant news, Essien is one of those we should keep at all costs. So I am really pleased at this news. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlueLion. 21,491 Posted July 22, 2008 Share Posted July 22, 2008 I'm really impressed by his attitude. He never complained when he was played at centre-half of full-back, considering he played in a more-advanced position for Lyon. Unlike Gallas, who moaned when he was moved along the backline, for a player who has been scoring a lot of important goals for us over the last three seasons, Essien has done a grand job wherever he has been played. Absolutel model professional and a perfect influence on today's youth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EskWeston 696 Posted July 22, 2008 Share Posted July 22, 2008 Chelsea Football Club is delighted to confirm that Michael Essien has signed a new five-year contract that keeps him at Stamford Bridge until 2013. The Ghana midfielder finalised the deal as the team touched down in China. Essien said : 'I am really pleased to have extended my contract with Chelsea. I am very happy here; we have a great team and fantastic fans who have always made me welcome. With the addition of the new manager, I am feeling very positive about the season ahead.' Luiz Felipe Scolari said: 'I have not been here long but it is clear to me that Michael Essien is one of the best midfield players in the world. I have always admired him and it is good news for me and for Chelsea that he signs for so long.' Essien was the Chelsea fans' Player of the Year for the 2006/07 season. Chelsea chief executive Peter Kenyon added: 'Since we signed Michael in 2005 he has been a fantastic player for Chelsea. I think everyone has been impressed by his power and skill. He is a player who would improve any team in Europe so we are very happy he has committed his future to Chelsea.' In total so far, Essien has played 143 games for Chelsea with 14 goals to his name. He has won the Barclays Premier League plus the FA and Carling Cups since moving to Stamford Bridge. His strike at home to Arsenal in December 2006 was that campaign's Chelsea Goal of the Season. He joins Wayne Bridge and Petr Cech in signing new deals this week. Source: Chelsea FC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

misschief 24 Posted July 23, 2008 Share Posted July 23, 2008 does he think he is worth more than essien ? Given his ridiculous demands, he clearly thinks he's worth more than anyone else at the club I'd say. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mart 29 Posted July 25, 2008 Share Posted July 25, 2008 My favourite Chelsea player, does the most work for the team and deserves more money than this. But if he's happy with 80k a week at least the money saved can go towards cancelling out the 30m blown on Shevva Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
