Dopo il portiere Cech, anche il centrocampista ghanese Michael Essien ha firmato un nuovo contratto

Comunicato Ufficiale FC Chelsea:
Essien next to extend
Chelsea Football Club is delighted to confirm that Michael Essien has signed a new five-year
contract that keeps him at Stamford Bridge until 2013.
There are very few more obvious statements you can make about football these days than ‘the
players get paid too much.' When painfully average Championship level bench-warmers get paid more
in a month than 90% of the population earn in a year, you know something is wrong with the country.
Anyway, soap-boxing aside, according to The Observer we are on the brink of passing yet
another wage mile-stone, with reports leaking out of West London that Chelsea are prepared to offer
Brazilian divinity Kaka' the princely sum of £1million-a-month to join them from AC Milan.
RICHARD ‘Baldrick' Scudamore, the contumacious Premier League chief executive behind the
much-criticised proposal for an ‘international round' of matches, has drafted a revised plan
designed to sidestep opposition from FIFA and the Football Association. Scudamore was forced to bin
his original plans after Sepp Blatter indicated such a venture would undermine England's 2018 World
Cup bid, [.

Liverpool's quest to sign Gareth Barry has taken another twist after the club's chief executive
Rick Parry admitted that "the price quoted is too high". Parry's comments appear to
contradict those made by manager Rafael Benítez after the Spaniard claimed that money was not
the issue.
The Aston Villa midfielder was identified as a summer transfer target by Benítez but the two
sides have so far been unable to agree a fee.
This was not too long ago.
"Alexi Lalas believes David Beckham's legacy can be greater than Pele's for football in the
United States."
Exciting times lay ahead. The crowds would come. The MLS could begin to write its epitaph as a
retirement league. The LA Galaxy would be on level terms with the European super clubs.
Rafael Benítez has declared himself "calm" as Liverpool prepare to start their
season this evening with their summer-long pursuit of Gareth Barry still up in the air, but the
suspicion remains that this calm could be the prelude to another storm.
Despite his board's decision to veto an £18 million deal, Benítez is determined to
proceed with a deal to sign Barry from Aston Villa and he will urge the club's American owners to
back his judgment once the small matter of tonight's Champions League qualifying match in Belgium
is out of the way.
Lampard signs new five year deal
Chelsea Football Club is delighted to announce today (Wednesday, August 13) that Frank Lampard has
signed a new five year contract.

Lampard said: 'I want to finish my career at Chelsea.
Rafael Benitez remains desperate to complete his long-running pursuit of Gareth Barry before the
end of the month, but has denied that complications in finalising the transfer brought him to the
verge of quitting as Liverpool manager.
Benitez watched his side bounce back from their disappointing Champions League stalemate against
Standard Liege with a somewhat fortunate 1-0 win over Sunderland on Saturday, but post-match talk
immediately turned to off-field matters.

he is powerless to do anything about it.
