I really want Essien to be in the blue shirt but if he can't play because of Abramovich 'barcelona'- project then he has to leave to play where his style is needed

You are one of those who want Essien to remain in the blue Chelsea shirts when it's obvious his form cannot cope with what is required at Standsford Bridge. All you want is just a bragging right of Essien playing for Chelsea. An 18 year old Soccer wizard teenage Burkinabe offensive midfielder has just been signed for 4 years straight into the senior squad; so what do you expect old cargo like Essien to remain for, when the likes of Mikel are counting their days at Chelsea.

Essien should head to the Arab world to make some oil money before he retires. There will be no any other better time.

As age catches on him the best is for him to accumulate more money as much as he can and as quickly as possible.Ringo your idea is good. Go make more money in the Arab wilderness and forget about European League.

ESSIEN IS FAR BETTER THAN MANY PLAYERS ON THE CURRENT CHELSEA SQUAD. WAT ESSIEN SOMETIMES LACK IS CONFIDENCE. U SEE, WHENEVER ESSIEN PLAYS FOR GH OR WEARS THE CAPTAIN BAND FOR CHELSEA. HE PLAYS AMAZING. WHEN HE IS NOT, HE TENDS TO FALTER. AN EXPERIENCED PLAYER LIKE HIM HAS A LOT OF POSITIVES IN HIS GAME, BUT HE NEEDS CONSTANT MOTIVATION N CONFIDENCE TO EXPOSE THESE QUALITIES. INSTEAD OF DOING THIS, MOURINHO HAS CHOSEN TO MAKE ESSEN A SURPLUS. THIS WILL COME BACK TO BITE HIM N THE CLUB. GRADUALLY, AS THE SEASON PROGRESSES. U WILL SEE THE BEHAVIOURS OF CERTAIN PLAYERS AT CHELSEA START TO CHANGE BECOS THEY WILL BEGIN TO DISTRUST MOURINHO. CHELSEA IS NOW BECOMING A TEAM OF SELFISH, SELF SEEKING PLAYERS, RATHER THAN A COLLECTION OF HUNGRY PLAYERS SEEKING A CHALLENGE. THE TALENT AVAILABLE WILL HELP THEM MAKE A RUN FOR THE EPL TITLE, BUT THATS WHERE IT WILL END. IF ESSIEN GOES TO AC MILAN N SUCCEEDS...THE SAME FERVOUR THAT OCCURRED TO DI MATTEO WILL SHOW ITS HEAD AT CHELSEA. U NEED LOYAL PLAYERS/PPL TO ACHIEVE SUCCESS....

Thank God FATHER & SON LTD. relations has ended in a final exit option for Essien. I believe Essien must have known by now that professional football at the level of Chelsea in not played by sentiments based on personal relations with a coach, not even if the coach is your "FATHER" as in Essien's case. You can only survive and succeed as a player in a club like Chelsea only by your performances and not by partronising coaches.
My strongest advice to Essien is not to go search for a top rated club like Chelsea otherwise he'll extend his bench warming frustrations into his new club, cos he'll soon find out there's no easy vacant to be filled by just past glory of "I am Micheal Essien". When Micheal got a loan deal to Real Madrid it was just by the goodwill of Mourinho, the few occations he got opportunity to play in very odd positions were still because Mourinho wanted him not completely inactive so Essien could resurcitate his career again somewhere.
When your time is up it's equally part of your duty as a professional footballer to recognise it and call it quit or move in the direction of honour to play for a club that is modest and will not give you much stress. Good decision Micheal.

I really respect people who make sound constructive decisions based on reality. Asamoah Gyan left the Europeans at the right time, and he has nothing to loose except the little clout that comes with playing in the European Big Leagues.

I think Essien, at his present condition will fare well in the Gulf Region, and retire handsomely instead of wasting his time on Europeans.

Whoever is managing Essein should read between the lines and advise the gentleman to move in the right direction.

The Gulf Region is the place to go for aging players sitting on the bench. Big money, less sweat, less injuries.

THEY MOVED FROM RUSSIA N CHINA RESPECTIVELY TO CHALLENGE THEMSELVES THAT THEY CAN STILL COMPETE AT THE HIGHEST LEVELS. ARENT THEY MARKETABLE STILL? ARENT THEY BOTH ASSETS FOR CHELSEA N GALATASARRAY? HOW MUCH MONEY IS ENUFF? U HVE TO REALISE THAT THESE PLAYERS ARE NOT BUSINESS PPL. THEY R SOCCER PLAYERS FIRST. THEY HVE GENUINE LOVE FOR THE GAME N THAT TAKES PRECEDENCE. IF U ENTERTAIN PLAYERS LIKE GYAN WHO CARES ABOUT MONEY. WHAT MAKES U THINK THAT HE WONT SELL THE FORTUNES OF GH IF HE IS BRIBED AT THE WCUP? FOOLS.....EVEN ANELKA HAS RETURNED TO THE EPL N PLAYING GREAT. DONT BE SUPRISED TO SEE ANELKA IN A FRANCE SHIRT IN BRASIL. GYAN IS A DUMMY....U WENT TO UAE N SCORED 1 GOAL EACH AT AFCON 12 N 13. AS A PREMIER STRIKER, U NEED TO BE ASHAMED TO EVEN CALL YOURSELF A STRIKER. LET ESSIEN GO TO AC MILAN N PROVE HIMSELF, PREPARE FOR BRASIL. U WILL SEE THAT HIS STOCK WILL RISE EVEN HIGHER N THE SAME CHELSEA WHO DIDNT SEE A NEED FOR HIM WILL TRY TO SIGN HIM.

27 points put in place by you and titled "the anatomy of a stoopid Ghanaian"

Well, nice points but here's one: After carefully reviewing your points, I noted that though I don't know you in person but for the few times I've dealt with you since 2006 on Ghanaweb, I realize you exhibit traces of the following points numbered 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 7, 8, 9, 10, 12, 13, 16, 17, 19, 20, 21, 22 & 28. A total of 18 out of 27 and that's a fail right there. Seriously speaking, between you and points numbers 1, 8, 10, 17, 19 and 20 are like the closeness between coal pots and ashes. I hope in this 2014, a better GHFUO will be seen in a very decent way to the admiration of all.

Finally, I don't know why you quoted JOHN-10:10 but the sentence beneath has nothing to do with it. This is a typical example of some of your points raised above and it falls under numbers 7, 8, 17, & 21. If you despise research, you'll quote wrongly.

He that thinks he stands, let him take heed lest he falls.

Afihyiapa to you and all the folks out there at Niagara. Hope the falls is not frozen?

I strongly believe that if his agent goes into discussions with Liverpool they would employ the services of Essien to beef up their defense and midfield. I don't think Italy would be the best place for Essen now.

Can a man be over-grateful, or over-loyal even to his own loss? Coach Mourinho refused to release Michael Essien for important national assignments re CAN and claimed the gentleman was injured. Things went very badly for the Ghana Black Stars in those times since he was the dependable mid-fielder. I think it is good that it is over with Chelsea and he moves on forward. Essien still has a lot of football to give at 31, and he will help the Black Stars whatever betides. I wish Michael Essien a very Happy New Year 2014 and success in his newly-won freedom as, he finally moves away from Chelsea and his "father" Coach Mourinho!
