the wes 7,212 Posted August 16, 2008 Share Posted August 16, 2008 Blues chiefs have knocked back Michael Essien’s request to change shirt numbers. The Ghana international hoped to switch from his current No 5 shirt to the No 4 jersey vacated by Claude Makelele, who recently signed for Paris St Germain. But Essien’s No 5 shirt has proved one of the most popular items in the club shop over the summer. Chelsea did not want to disappoint fans who had splashed out on the new kit with Essien’s name and number emblazoned on it. news of the world Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueLion. 21,491 Posted August 17, 2008 Share Posted August 17, 2008 Thank fuck, I have Essien 5 on about three shirts! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrismada9 1,948 Posted August 17, 2008 Share Posted August 17, 2008 Yeah I have an Essien shirt with number 5 on it, but it's one of the earlier shirts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ollie 4,400 Posted August 17, 2008 Share Posted August 17, 2008 lol how gutting would it be for all the ppl with 'Essien 5' on their shirts if he did change so late and so close to the start of the season. That would be awful specially as these shirts are only used for 1 season. Surely essien would think about the fans, its a bit out of order on his part.

nikno 1 Posted August 17, 2008 Share Posted August 17, 2008 Number 4 should be retired in honour of Maka, the greatest Chelsea player of the Abrahmovic era bar none. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chrismada9 1,948 Posted August 17, 2008 Share Posted August 17, 2008 Hmmm, maybe he was thinking about number 4 for a brief moment just so Robinho can sneak in at number 5. Who knows.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DavidEU 2,023 Posted August 18, 2008 Share Posted August 18, 2008 Gallas pulled a stunt like that at Arsenal except he did get it changed lol.Lots of annoyed Arsenal fans Gallas is still #10. I reckon Essien will be changing next season then, and they'll announce it early so that people dont get #5. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
