You're right about Essien. I think him and Ballack in midfield work much better than Ballack and Lampard, so I know which one I'd rather let go.

I think Chelsea have some good youth players, like Ben Sahar and the players who go them to the youth cup final, even though most were not British, it's just whether they will give them the chance or not. United look like they are going to sign Ramsey who looks like a good young player and they have players coming through the youth system like Danny Welbeck and Frazer Campbell, who was at Hull this season, that also look good, but it's whether they will get the opportunity or not.
I would feel the same way if i was a Chelsea fan, i'd rather have Ballack and Essien in midfield than Lampard, although Lampard wouldn't be a bad replacemnt for either of them if one goes.
