5 years, 5 long seasons, 5 years worth of silent but efficient work that has prompted Chelsea back to glory days, despite setbacks in the last 2 seasons. Finally Claude Makelele has left the club to return to his homeland to play for PSG.
Maka - set to don PSG colors next season
Widely regarded as the best holding midfielder in this time, Makelele or Maka as he’s fondly known to us fans has been a great servant, loyal to the club for 5 good years. Finally nearing the pinnacle of his career at the grand old age of 36, his move back to PSG would no doubt be the best way for him to end his playing career.
Despite being small in frame and short in statute, Maka has never given any doubts about his ability in his position. His tackles are timely, and his passes, short no doubt but very accurate.
In fact, he performed his role on the pitch, the link between attackers and defenders to almost perfection that the holding midfielder position has been even named the “Makalele position“.

In fact Maka’s so good, even big strikers find it tough trying to get past him. From the word Go, Maka will be constantly tailing the man he’s supposed to mark, giving him absolutely no chance of free space. Franky Lampard & Drogs might be the men who bang in goals, but without Maka, there will be no Chelsea of today.
Its true Maka do not score much goals, but when he does, its of top class quality. Remember the Spurs game? No? it was an absolute screamer. Sure, we lost that game, but the way Maka drilled that 25 yarder volley into the bottom corner of Paulie Robinson’s right hand corner will forever be remembered by us Blues faithful as the best Maka goal ever.
Maka scores his only EPL goal, against Spurs
So, to Maka who’s already packed up and back in France, We at The Bridge will wish you good luck and thank you for all that you’ve done for us so far. Sobs. hah
MEANWHILE
Chelsea’s summer clear-out sale continues, with Tal Ben-Haim the latest to be dumped from the Bridge setup, with the likes of Malouda, Pizzaro and SWP soon to follow.
Ben-Haim who was practically crap in the few meagre appearances he made in a Blue shirt last season will be the third player to leave the club following Steve Sidwell’s transfer to Aston Villa as well as Khalid Boulahrouz’s move to VFB Stuttgatt. and I say GOOD RIDDANCE.
oh by the way, Sidwell score an own goal on his Villa debut. Simply the best way to introduce yourself as Gareth Barry’s replacement huh. Good Job Martin O’Neil. Luckily Big Phil was smart enough to shove him out ASAP.
Bye Siddy, we ain't gonna miss ya!
Another douche bag at the Bridge that really needs to be shown the exit is Florent Maloucheda. Despite all the promises of attacking flair and quality, Malouche only played well in the first few games before totally fading away and finally ending the season on the table. Great lot of promises huh. Good think Roma is interested in a douche bag such as this because we’re simply not.
leave you lousy kaki bangku bugga..we DON'T want you!
With transfer rumors nothing but simply rumors, the best news so far was that Michael Essien and Wayne Bridge signed new deals to stay Blue.
Oh, another bit of good news is that RUMORS had it that Barca had already prepared the €25mil needed to bring Drogs away. Finally!
Now, before I sign out, lemme remind you guys that Chelsea will playing in Malaysia on July 29. GO, by hook or by crook and watch the game! Blues Rule!
Cheers!
