I'd hate to see Essien go to Inter (or any other club) more than any other player.

Calm down, i never said Chelsea were the only club that do it. But how many of Chelsea's player came up through their youth system or they bought young and developed and didn't have a big reputation before they got there? Maybe one?
I think Chelsea's best player by some distance is Essien, if they lose him they will be in trouble. Maybe being forced to play out of position for some of last season, which was one of Grant's worst tactical decisions, might affect his decision?
