Essien can play as both a defender and defensive midfielder. He is absolute class and I hope we swap Appiah for him.

Cannavaro is world-class while Kompany and Barzagli are two of the most promising young defenders in Europe. Maicon and Zambrotta are good two way players and would certainly help out the defence with Emerson and Essien offering cover infront of the backline. My formation is far from defensively insecure imo and if you actually took time to read my post you would have realised that I said "I wouldn't mind something like this in a couple of years" by which time Kompany, Barzagli and Essien would be more experienced as well as improved. Saying that a team containing Buffon, Kompany, Barzagli, Cannavaro, Maicon, Zambrotta, Emerson and Essien would ship a lot of goals is rather inane IMO.
I'm not that keen on Van Bommel. My formation isn't going to happen though, we're not going to sign Barzagli, Kompany, Maicon, Essien and Riquelme in the coming seasons, not with the competition we would face for a number of those players. Clubs are already queueing up for Barzagli, Kompany and Essien.
For tHe werder game, Essien operates as a central midfielder and he scored 2 goals. I am happy that he can operate as both central midfielder + central defender, I really hope we can get him. This way we can dispose Appiah.
I chcked his stats, and he seems to be a rather dirty player, collecting 8 yellows and 1 red in this season. But nvm as long as we train him and let him play more, he will mature.
