Chelsea fan here in peace.

With Essien's knee problems sapping him of some of his pace (theoretically making him a better fit for Serie A) and Seedorf leaving, would AC Milan fans be interested in signing him?

No basis for this whatosever, I just have a feeling Essien will be off in the summer and I wanted to gauge reactions.

This is the definition of a 'WTF' thread

p.s. - We would happily take Ramires/Mata for loan with option to buy for 5 crates of bananas. You interested?

o.k

We will add a Seedorf for free

Think about the wonders he could do for the dressing room

Final offer. Take it or leave it :o

Ash come on, be polite....

What he meant was we will throw in Seedorf AND Mesbah

No basis for this whatosever, I just have a feeling Essien will be off in the summer and I wanted to gauge reactions.

The basic premise that losing pace makes him fit for Serie A, is unfortunately wrong. Change of pace is the critical aspect here, and that's crucial in Serie A, perhaps even more so than in the EPL, where pace is constantly breakneck and hence 'change of pace' has little relevance.

Kaka made a career out of excellent change of pace.

To sum up, I dont think the current Essien can cut it at Milan.. Which is a shame coz he was one of my favourite players a couple of years back.

Now, Mario Melchiot, that's one player worth a thought. We seem to be endorsing weird haircuts these days.

Will I regret my post a few posts above if I now say "Yessien we can!"?

Thread re-opened.

Asked a Madrid fanatic about his impact last season. Says he was decent when he played in Mourinho' 4-3-3. Danger of course being his tendency to break down if played too much.

Our second Muntari, but still an upgrade over Nocerino

Will be signed. 99 % sure of it. Galliani loves these kinds of buys.
