more worryingly i wouldnt call it completely holding either. both players are perfectly capable of going forwards, expect them to pick their time in getting forward, can see them getting a fair number of goals from late runsThe idea of Chelsea's 4-2-3-1 next season is solid. Essien and Ramires is the best holding combination in the world.
I can't believe we're going to pay potentialy £18.5million for him

yeah benfica will only get 50% of that, so they really have to push the price highwell don't forget benfica arn't getting all of that. that kia dude owns some of him. and plus we paid 24million for essien and if he is even half as good as essien then it will be a decent price. plus he is only 23.

i have seen a little bit of him from last season and he seems like an absolute engine in midfield.
Ramires to score from late runs, Essien to score 70 yard volleys at will.
Correct term of Ramires, in portugal we call him the Quenian
i love essien alot but if he scores a 70yard volley next season i will give you my dog lol.

i have seen some clips of him and he seems pretty pacy aswell is that true?
its ridiculously strong. however i remember people sayin that after winning the prem twice in a row. it didnt prevent us from winning it the net three years in row. but they are going to be very difficult to beat. i wonder their 4-2-3-1 will look like brazils one, only mirrored to allow cole to dominate the leftDon't see anyone keeping up with Chelsea again this year. They just don't weaken their team ever, and they strengthen in all the right places to make the team that much stronger. If they got a better CB than Alex then they would have the most complete squad in the world IMO.
