EskWeston 696 Posted July 21, 2008 Author Share Posted July 21, 2008 Maka is one of those players you are really gutted to see leave, hope he enjoys his couple of years there. Would still love to see him back here as a coach, seemed to like the idea of coaching when mentioned last year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
terry26 6 Posted July 21, 2008 Share Posted July 21, 2008 and i think what helps the cause is that he was such a lovable character - whenever he was interviewed or you saw him there was never a dull moment and he was always happy and smiling Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuperSheva7 0 Posted July 21, 2008 Share Posted July 21, 2008 Goodbye Maka! You will always be a Chelsea legend and good luck in France, I'll definitely be watching some PSG games now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
misschief 24 Posted July 21, 2008 Share Posted July 21, 2008 Really gutted to see one of my favourite Chelsea players go. Shame we couldn't come up with a deal to keep him, I always thought he would stay on in a coaching capacity but I guess it's unrealistic to think he'd be playing in our first team for the two year's PSG have offered him. A true pro for Chelsea from start to finish. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ollie 4,400 Posted July 21, 2008 Share Posted July 21, 2008 I'm sad to see him go too but it is the best time now. Hes been exceptional for us and i can only say thank you to him for everything hes done. Wish him all the best in Paris. He can still do a solid job as he showed last season time and time again when needed in the UCL. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fulham Broadway 17,363 Posted July 23, 2008 Share Posted July 23, 2008 Bookies rarely get their pre odds wrong. With the exiting of Maka, I notice Skybet and Paddy Power have reduced their odds by 50% regarding number of clean sheets next season.......

Lol, I think we will be stronger defensively this season that we have for the last 2 even without Maka. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope you're right -though its incredible the amount of moves he stopped, balls he cut out, and perfectly timed interceptions completed in his games. No coincidence the bookies cut their odds when he left.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No coincidence the bookies cut their odds when he left.... Maka could read a game better than anyone. Although by the end of last season his timing was out quite a lot and he made some pretty bad tackles. The time is right for us to cope without him, and i am sure we will do so very very well.

He ended up with a few cards with goal stopping interceptions, but the game would be halted long enough for the danger to subside. I cant think of a more valuable CFC asset than him Abramovich and Mourinho over the last few years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hmm, i think i would put Lamps, Cech and JT in the same bracket as Maka with regards to how valuable they have been to us during the "Roman Era"... We certainly were very lucky to have seen a player like Maka in our team, and more importantly value him a lot higher that Madrid certainly did.
