    Morinho will be coaching Chelsea next season and he will keep Essien in Chelsea uniform if Real cut him loose. Don't feel sorry for Essien, he is still marketable in the top three leagues in Europe, England, Spain and German ...

    I hear he's about to sign for Kotoko..yes we need u in our CAF campaign ,u'll prosper at Kotoko nd who knows u could be heading to Italy or France after your Kotoko contract runs out.

  • Mr Truth 11 years ago

    I bet with your life he would prefer playing for Dwarfs for free than Kotoko for the whole of Ashante Region ,you know its true ,punk .

    Whatever the case is, Essien should know that his days in soccer is coming to an end.He should utilize this situation to plan for future.

  • Only the Thruth 11 years ago

    HE IS FINISHED.
    This is his last chance to play in the world cup. He better do something to join the black star. Every player's dream is to play in the world cup.

  • CHEEKY DONY!!!! 11 years ago

    There is no place at CFC also, so I wonder which top side would sign Old Boy Kobbina Essien. May be somewhere in Turkey where all the African old boys are collecting their pension. Maybe Galatasaray?

  • Mr Truth 11 years ago

  • Slimzay **The Unshakable Shaker** 11 years ago

    I do understand you point and agree with you too. On the other hand, I think he will fit in well at Chelsea's recent formation because if Fenando Tores is being considered to gain back his performance level, why couldn't Chel ...

    The one who wrote this piece is one of those destroying our players. Why make the headline look like that 'axe'?. Loan contract ends and he goes. Your content does not agree with the headline. I am sorry

    Going back to Chelsea is just going back to his old club.After all he was on loan to Real Madrid.

  • Wekpa 11 years ago

    Useless writing. Is Essien Real Madrid's player? The guy is there on a season-long loan; the season ends and he goes back. How is this axing?
