nooo Makelele , good luck to you!

You are a legend.

[Dear_Claudio]

Best Maka moment is totally bottling the penno against Charlton... then somehow sticking in the rebound:D:D

[Bruckner283]

Bless you, sir. You gave Blue a whole new meaning. Stamford Bridge will always welcome you. Thank you, sir!

I just loved his way of setting up our plays and our midfield always seemed that more stable when he played.

Chelsea legend.

There is no one out there that can take his place.

Makelele leaves Chelsea for PSG (http://theshedend.org/?p=19)

THANKS MAKA!

[BridgeMonkee]

The Makalele role. Every team on the planet dreams of having a player who might be able to play the 'Makalele role. At Chelsea we had Makalele.

And there is still nobody that can play it better.

not a bad defender either I hear.

[Rman3349]

Simply the best.

He will dominate in France for another few years to come in my opinion

[Master_Chief123]

Wow, I really thought he'd retire with us.. you will be deeply missed Makelele, a fantastic player and a class act..

[blackjack]

This is a sad day for Chelsea.

I'm glad that we've let him go, though. The simple fact is that while he still offers play that nobody else in the world can, there are many games in which we just don't need that.

He deserves to play every week for his last couple of seasons.

He'll be remembered well. Always a class act for Chelsea.

Sums it up..

Chelsea Football Club has released Claude Makelele on a free transfer today (Monday).
Everyone at Chelsea FC would like to take this opportunity to thank Claude for the five years of service he has given to the club.
Claude has been a key part of our trophy success during that time and we wish him well for the future.
In total, the midfielder made 217 appearances in a Chelsea shirt, scoring two goals. The first was a rebound from a penalty against Charlton at the end of our first Premier League winning season in 2005, and the second was an exquisite 25-yard volley at Tottenham in November 2006.
He will always be welcomed back to Stamford Bridge in the future either as a player or as a friend of the club.

[mshankb]

Pure legend.

[Randy36]

Chelsea legend! One of the greatest defensive midfielders it has been my privelege to watch.

God speed, Maka!!

[Kazuma]

NOOOOO!!!

He was my favorite French player, and he is what a player should be all about. Good luck to him at PSG (Giuly is there, another favorite of mine.).

Claude:

Merci, vous étiez un exemple parfait de classe. Ne se plaignant pas quand Raymond vous a volé de nous en dépit de votre retraite. Je te souhaite tout le meilleur.
