Posted June 21, 200916 yr Why don't player agents shut the f**k up?.......................... The agent of Michael Essien claims the Ghanaian may leave Stamford Bridge this summer, if the right offer comes his way. Fabien Piveteau says Essien is happy at Chelsea but a move to the continent may lure the midfielder away from the West London club. “Some clubs are interested in Michael,†Piveteau said. “He likes Chelsea very much, but football is football and if Real Madrid, Barcelona or some other club make an offer he needs to sit down and discuss what is best for him."
June 21, 200916 yr It seems recession has taken its toll on him. He has my sympathy. But I doubt he has Essien's. There's no chance Essien will go. He has stated time and again that he is fully committed to Chelsea. All hail The Bison!
June 21, 200916 yr Maybe trying to boost Michaels pay cheque? Anyway, there is a deep laying, horrible feeling inside my head that feels we might see Essien leave Chelsea this summer with a bog money move from someone like Real. I also can't help but feel we will see Drogba leave this summer too. Again, nothing to base these feelings on, just a "gut" feeling Scott

Let the 'gut' feeling go down the gutter. ;) Silly, silly season! And I doubt he is trying to boost his pay cheque. Didn't Essien sign a new contract along with Cech only last year?
June 21, 200916 yr yes I think he did....sorry I'm not one for use of smilies, but my initial "boost the pay check" was a tongue in cheek statement as it was in reference to an agent's statement Scott
June 21, 200916 yr I was suprised that real dint think about essien . When you talk about the best players in the world he is certainly the best at pocketing people and very versatile as well . I was just glad till now that Essien hasnt been linked to anyone , cant imagine him being sold for even a ronaldoisque price. He is too important .
June 21, 200916 yr There is no way we'll let Essien go. Lampard is 31 already. Edited June 21, 200916 yr by nofizzleforshizzle
June 24, 200916 yr Essien is a huge part of the future at Chelsea, not only is he one the worlds best players he is a huge star on the African continent. A marketing crow bar. If Essien was to leave within the next 3 seasons it would be a financial disaster, unless of course someone offers £80 million, then we would have to condider it.

June 25, 200916 yr Im very surprised Essien allowed his agent to release such a statement , he's either very stupid or his agent is just a complete c**t.

If we have learned anything in the last few years, its that these idiots act on their own and are totally out of control. Diego's agent and Ibrahimovic's agent are currently engaged in a war of words. Its pretty pathetic. When or if the modern game is cleaned up, agents should be the first ones up to the guillotine
