The problem is not Essiens skills which is unquestionable one of the best.My concern is his health and durability.The numerous injuries and his age has slowed and deminished Essiens performance considerably.I will hate to see him flop at the world cup giving the ungrateful Ghanaian fans to blame him for everything.I think we should focus on our younger and healthier players who are on their their way up.An injection of experienced players like Muntari and Gyan can bring out the best in the younger players like Atsu,Wakasu,Adams,Adusei,Boye,Mensah,Adiyah,Afful,andJordan.Essien must not go to Brazli,he is just not healthy enough.

Do not be too quick to write Essien off. Let us see how things turn out for him at AC Milan between now and May.

Essien is officially 31 and not that old. The problem is they lie about their age and this creates problems for them

He should hyave rather chosen to play in a team in the Golf, get some petrol dollars and end up his career. He's being ill-advised and has opted to play in a top team. Italian Tifosis will not be tender with him and he will nfinally regret coming to Milan.Time will tell

The truth hurts. Yes I did praise him when he was playing well and had every reason to quit the french league for Chelsea. Today, it's no longer the case; he's had his time and age has caught up with him so to avoid ridicule, he didn't have to go to such a team. I will say the truth even if that will hurt you......I have my liberty of expression.

Although I agree with you about age and injuries catching up with him, I think it is a bit early for Essien not to give it one more try at the big leagues. He would still have time enough to retire in the Gulf, if it does't work out, or if no European team wants him.
Essien is a grown man. I am sure he also has some good people around him with whom he could confer and determine what would be good for him.

We all recognize the truth but what hurts is your language and ungratefulness my friend.For a proud player like Essien it might be difficult to understand what is going on around him especially when he feels great and plays well.Those of us that love him see the pit fall at the world cup if he allows expectations to swell to unrealistic proportions.I will associate myself with NOKWARE's comments and concentrate our attention on the healthier players for Brazil.If we decide to take Essien and Boateng we must lower our expectations from them and start them from the bench.

Milan players lack character. They actually and play like a bunch of yuppies, dada bee players. Theylack character and grit. milan captain mexes should be banned from the team. He sucks!!! He lacks basic defending ability. Most useless.player today. Milan players need to play simple soccer. Everyone wants to be a star on the team. Too much selfishness. This is why Muntari is doing well bcos he is humble and not egotistical. He works hard in midfield. And has grit and character. Seedorf must talk to the players to keep it simple. Get the ball in the 18 and play with purpose and grit.

Why do we insult everyone who does not agree with us?(sorry I blame your parents). Yes he is not 25, but players like Pirlo cover the defence as quick as he can anytime. Watch Steven G, Frank L, Yahaya Toure etc they knew their where about on the pitch. When you play on top of the defender that becomes your job.How many times did he failed to track back slowly, leave defenders to come in too much. Did you watch the match? if you did than sit down and do proper analysis.
Now, do you think Klinsman is a fool or do you think score 1 and park the bus always works right? Ghana man mentality. Etwemu ta fre na ka wa ta fre awie, Discussing soccer you're confused...no wonder you support kotoko.................why can't Ghana man call a spade a spade.

An old player is more vulnerable and risks injuries as compared to a younger one. The chance of an older player likely to get injured is higher than that of a relative younger one and Essien is a typical example. If, therefore , a player cheats on his age, the likelihood to be exposed to injuries is there so my friend don't you tell me the 2 don't go hand in hand.
Common sense is sometimes not common to idiots like you are.
