Real Madrid (old thread)

I used to love Essien, will be a shame to see him wear that kit.

Also Madrid's oddest signing since that French dude who slept on the bench.

man if essien plays like before he will be very usefull to them he used to be the best box to box midfielder and i think he can be back in this level

this rumour is probably bullshit, he was walking around on the field just half an hour ago talking to his team-mates after the game, i don't know why chelsea want rid if true, would rather have him in centre mid then mikel or lampard.....

Nothing odd about it TBH. We need a midfielder and Mou reached out to the first player who he got along with who was once known to possess quality. And I don't think he will care about being the Altintop of RM. It's up to him whether he is motivated and healthy enough.

 

[estranged]

well last season he was a shadow of himself, didn't look great at all. he was on the bench most of the time wasn't he?

 

[Meitux]

yeah he was but still way better than mikel

Actually there is something odd about it. Getting someone who won't blend in till December and then leave for 1.5 months for African Nations Cup? That is odd.

he hasn't played for ghana in ages since he decided to focus on his club career, he probably won't go to african nations......

yes because of his injures

.. Tricky deal if it goes through

 

[Banana-Rama]

he made a decision a while back not to make himself available for selection by ghana so he could focus on his club career.............

Essien worked with Jose and know his method plus Essien is out of contract next summer which means we can sign him for free

You are forgetting the part about him being crocked though.

Medical treatment from one club to the other make a difference.. u know that and Robben is proof of how crap Chelsea doctors are

There was a time when I sincerely feared that this transfer could happen. What a player he was.

I wanted him on Barca badly, at least until we got Yaya.

I don't blame you for looking on the bright side but his game took its toll on his body, it's one thing to be injured often but he just looks like a shell of himself.
