right back has definitely been a sore spot for Chelsea.

Only seen him play once. But from reading reports from the media and supporters, he seems like the real deal.

My interest now is where does Essien play? Chlesea had him slotted in the rightback position. Does this mean that Chelsea plays a 4-5-1, with the central midifielders Lampard, Essien, Ballack?

Anyways, Chelsea definitely isn't playing in the offseason.

United will have to move fast as this to me signals other teams are going to make moves very quickly.
