Let me get this straight. Chelsea offered an increasing amount of money each time for Essien, right? And one of those bids was definitely £21 million + Tiago, right? I know this.
So Essien was £24.4 million. Let's do some maths.
Chelsea have, in fact, bought Essien for £18.4 million + Tiago. Which is £2.6 million less than their penultimate offer.
The Houllier Business Brain in action, people.

"Chelsea have pursued Essien all summer, and had bids of £10m, £16.75m, £18m, £21m and £21m plus Tiago turned down."
"What's that, Biffo? You want me to sign...Traore? Well, you're the boss of me."
