Skysports.com understands that John Obi Mikel has signed a new long-term contract with Chelsea. The Nigerian midfielder has been with the Blues since joining from Lyn Oslo in 2006 after a protracted and controversial transfer saga. He has since established himself as a key player for Chelsea and earned particularly good reviews for his performances last season, when he had to take on more responsibility in the absence through injury of Michael Essien. Mikel's deal had been set to expire next year, leading to speculation that he could be set to leave Stamford Bridge. However, agent John Shittu revealed earlier this week that Mikel was ready to commit his future to Chelsea by penning a new five-year deal. And it is believed that the 22-year-old has now done just that to give the Blues a boost ahead of the new Premier League campaign. From SkySports

And, in general, shit.

They announce the televised games for the next couple of months whilst they negotiate for future matches.

Think I have a bloody party on the 15th anyway. Thank god for mobile internet.

Well Turnbull's best years are still ahead of him, so he should be capable of filling in when needed.

Are we just singing everybody else's young English players? I like it

Well if he comes to the club with the mindset of being second choice he won't push Petr at all, but coming with a positive attitude will be beneficial to both him and the other goalkeepers.

Although the amount you pay you'd think they'd be player-issued

And neither is a young player being "hungry" for success.

Wolverhampton Wanderers are trying to sign Michael Mancienne on a season-long loan, according to Sky Sports. Click here to see the source. Personally, I think it would be a great move. MM needs to show what he can do in the Premier League to warrant a squad place, IMO. If he goes to Wolves, we can see what he can do. Its clear he'll play at Wolves as well because he would probably be the best defender at the club.

Cech's good, but by no stretch is he the best goalkeeper in the world. Turnbull will do what no-one did to Cech at the end of last season and offer him some competition in training, so hopefully it should improve Petr's performances on the pitch as well.

It would probably be on an external site, however.

Eto'o scores 35 goals a season as opposed to 15. I'd prefer that, in all honesty.

All footballers care about is money, well, at least the vast majority do.

Right... we have an option for Indonesia already. I'm making one for Mongolia and Montenegro.

Rather have Eto'o over both in honesty. When you assess strikers, their main role is scoring goals. Eto'o does that prolifically.

Bbrilliant news if true. One of our best players last term.

Respect. Doesn't get the praise he deserves IMO.

Probably be Robbie Fowler.

Fantastic player, but we already have Mikel and Essien.

Welcome mate
