Godfred Donsah?! Who he?

A young Ghanaian midfielder. I think he's been linked to about half of Europe so I wouldn't pay too much attention to that right now :-)

"The New Michael Essien"?
Give me strength!
{Ed018's Note - I'd love to see another Essien type player at Chelsea}

Essien was one of the biggest reasons I started supporting Chelsea back then :-)
With the transfer market in the state it currently is and average players going for 25-30 million easily, how much would he be worth at his best. Fantastic player.

So you're a glory hunter then are you Jackson?

Personally I cringe whenever the press use the term "the new" about anyone! It's normally only a clear indication of the players nationality.

Hard to tell, maybe £30 mill. That goal against Barcelona. Shame about the result

No not really a glory hunter, mate. It's just first impressions are important. I didn't really follow any team until then. I was still pretty young then. I loved the way Essien played, so physical and dogged, and really liked Drogba's occasional bully ball style. I'm all for power :-)
And of course, Mourinho was also a factor in supporting the club. I admit I started following the club during a successful period, but I can't help the fact I only really became interested in football during the same period.

That's how a football club can gain worldwide support like Man U and Liverpool. The younger generation or those taking interest in football for the first time, will usually support the most successful team in the country at that time. It takes generations to increase the support worldwide, for that generation to grow and continue with success or pass on their love for the club to their children.
You can tell Jackson loves the club and his posts are always fair, well thought out and polite and reasonable, probably the Gunner 62 of the Chelsea board. Well done young man

Cheers, sid, means a lot :-)
And you're right, I truly love the club. Not just the players, but also the way it seems to be run etc. Chelsea all the way!
