Essien - wow one of my favourite players of the PL era, even now I'd have loved to see him at Goodison
Who???
Bastia. He signed for Lyon
We tried to sign Essien long before he signed for Chelsea lads, think he was at Lens or somewhere.

Bastia and someone wouldnt give David Moyes the money to get him.![]()

He's the 'Opta - obsessed' wizard who had unrivaled success at Spurs and Liverpool!

What can i say?...Passing completion stats seem relevant:
Passing is undoubtedly N’Zonzi’s forte and this is evidenced as he comes out on top statistically. With a pass completion percentage of 81% he is not only Rovers’ most frequent passer of the ball but he is also the most accurate. This accuracy is all the more impressive when considering that over half of his passes are played forwards and therefore into areas typically more heavily guarded by opposition defenders.
It wasn't just Essien either, the same happened with Petr Cech, Scott Parker, the list goes on. If we had the resources other clubs have had over the years I am convinced we would be a regular feature in the top four.
Give the kid a chance, Gibson was pure dog muck for United and look at him now.
