At this stage Lyon should be signalling that they'd be quite happy to just hold onto the little punk until his contract expires. 2 years without football. That'll learn'em.
I know who Fittler and Anasta are but I have no idea how they compare as players. I'm assuming you mean that Gerrard is much better than Essien?Constip8edSkunk said:gerrard is like a brad fittler while essien is like a braith anasta.

I agree but the only club that can afford to do that are Chel$$ki and they're the one's so many of the punks are wanting to head to.Benny_ said:Lyon needs to make an example of Essien. Players are way too powerful these days.
The Robinho saga was absolutely disgusting. Real are pathetic and so is that kid. I can't believe he boycotted training sessions and what not. I think clubs should start to put harsher rules in player's contracts about these sorts of things. If a player doesn't turn up to a training session without a valid reason then they should have that entire weeks salary cancelled. Same goes for a player who decides they don't want to play a game without a valid reason.LMF^^ said:Essien wantz to do a Robinho, but there will be no Pele to help him, so he can just sit on the sideline fo all he wantz.
Beautiful.RUB!X said:essien will go ... but lyon might be begging chelsea for <20mil sooner than they think, and hence houllier will once again be fucked over ... quoting the arrogant bastard of a man Jose Mourinho "if we dont get him, i dont care" ... my advice to lyon is sell now ... der is a fine line between milking and fucking with russian money ...
What the hell? Michael is finding it difficult? His head is in Chelsea? SO give it a good kick back to where it ought to be - Lyon.BBC report said:"Gerard Houllier is not happy but it's very, very difficult for Michael because he's in Lyon but his head is in Chelsea," said Piveteau [Essien’s agent].
No shit? You feel let down aye? How about the Lyon fans and the club?BBC report said:Essien was earlier quoted as saying: "I feel very let down by Lyon. I cannot understand why they've acted this way."
Spot on. Lyon cannot afford to keep paying wages while no service is returned. Besides if they do not sell and wait till next season - Chelsea might just decide that they'll wait another season and accept him for free. He's still young - him coming to them for free at 24 would be a very good move on their part.slip said:lyon should have sold essien for 23million, considering he has 2 years left on his contract should he not go this summer his value would drop emmensly next summer. and he isnt happy at lyon. anyway in my view lyon has cut off its nose to spite its face. now they dont get 23million which that could buy decent players with, they actually spend money on essien's wages which could have paid other players actually playing and they dont get the services of player(s) worth (in chelsea eyes) 23million dollars.

you said they have failed or yet to fulfil potential, i can argue that smiths, ronaldo and richardson have fulfilled as much as they can be expected within 1 season... you cannot compare richardson who is basically a reserves player at utd to beckham who was the face of the team....right now he's role isn't beckhams replacement either. besides players usually dont reach their full potential in their late 20s so theresnothing wrong with room for improvement in a young playerslip said:smith may have been one of the better players, but he is not what keane once was
djemba failed and hence got shown thhe door
ronaldo has more in him (and for that i put him in there)
saha has been injured
richardson is no beckham/scholes/giggs or keane
thus everything i said was true
lyon should have sold essien for 23million, considering he has 2 years left on his contract should he not go this summer his value would drop emmensly next summer. and he isnt happy at lyon. anyway in my view lyon has cut off its nose to spite its face. now they dont get 23million which that could buy decent players with, they actually spend money on essien's wages which could have paid other players actually playing and they dont get the services of player(s) worth (in chelsea eyes) 23million dollars.
so gerrard is fitler and essien is braith. i didnt know gerrard retired and essien transfer to liverpool. how much did he go for?
...but Fabregas had a great game for Arsenal. I still think that Arsenal will greatly miss Vieira this season...but Cesc looks like a worthy replacement from what I saw.Constip8edSkunk said:2 goals from drogba ... not looking good for arsenal....
edit: and it finishes 2-1... arsenals defence looked abit shaky
