Mikel will leave just months after signing a 5 year extension? Similarly to the Isco rumor, I just can't see why so many people are opposed to this potential move. He absolutely manhandled Man United earlier this year winning every header, boxing out defenders, and looked like a man amongst boys on every setpiece and corner. I remember in both the Spurs and Arsenal games we completely dominated their midfields physically, and that was with Mikel. Cazorla was basically invisible. Imagine introducing this monster. I think anything in the 25m or below range is a great price.
