Michael Essien

[Metaphysical]

essien is as un-barca as you can get.

still, fantastic player.

and more than that, he's got pippoitis (that knack for scoring important goals) which is very useful in a midfielder.

Him and Ramires are going to tear new holes into midfields.

Double thread. Topics merged.

Thanks. I searched a few times but still couldn't find the thread on him...

Essien is sheer quality. Chelsea are lucky to have him.

hmm i wonder who's better, Edgar Davids or Michael Essien?

Class act no doubt but a lot of truth in what a poster above stated i suspect. Just think he wouldnt fit in at Barca

Hes always been IMO, a Box to Box midfielder, glad hes playing that Role with Mikel as a DM.

Yes,Chelsea always wasted him as a Dmf,he still can play there but the departure of Ballack and Deco meant that someone had to celebrate

I think he'll move back once Lampard comes back.

 

[Valon]

He's the best BtB player in the world.

 

[AnfieldEd]

Essien is the most complete midfielder in the world.

 

[VivaBarca]

Essien after Xaviesta, best CM in the world ?

 

[Ode to Django]

I'd agree with that yes ^

He is absolute quality, but I don't know if he could succeed in any team, he seems to be suited just for Chelsea...
