It wasn't a horrible tackle, he did hit him on his ankle, this happens, but you noway can say it was horrible like that Eduardo one. so please and Ballack knew what he did there, it just came back at him and he had bad luck not play'n at the WC after that still, I think the main reason for himmissing was what he did there...

what's this shit about Ballack here? Balack SLAPPED him in his face FIRST, he reacted to that, and I can tell you, every footballplayer will do THIS reaction, so Ballack shouldn't act like he can do everything he wants. That aside very good player he and maybe more then that, for 25 Mio he would be a steal.

Ill Take KPB

If he leaves, like I've said I'm OK with it but I still think he is undervalued by some fans and that he has great potential. But 25 Mio is a superb price, so I could understand CFC for selling him at that price...

WTF is this deal about? Let's see maybe he surprises me and will get Chelsea class

did he really? I thought I was the only one with that opinion at my previous post a page ago, but then finally I've found somebody understanding me

The Question is, if he really is that limited, he excells for Nigeria since two years when haveing the license for roaming forward, so maybe its because of our strict strategical view for him? Maybe he can't get out of the idea play'n as pure DM like in a 4-3-3 at chelsea?

aren't you able to read?

so Finally you can just talk about Mikels real issues and his problems, and I think this is down to the fact that 50% of the 'Hate Mikel'-Trolls have left the building, so you will slowly start to argument the right way and you see that our opinions are not that far away from each other...

I think Gündogan fits the bill of how a DM should be in Pivot much more. I have no intention to deny any point of you're post it was a mix of Missmanagement of talents and restricting a player too much but lets wait and see if Mou can give him another push or not. And like I've said with Mikel 75% of his problems on the pitch are because of his mentality...

No, but is it acceptable to just forget everything he did for this club before and just act like a little child and post stupid gifs on him leaving? Seriously, there is no reason for that, many players have had bad spells, just imagine ppl treating Ess like that, Ess was shit for a large preiod under Carlo after his Red Card against Fullham in particular and still ppl defended him, thats the same approach you should take towards Mikel. I never said its acceptable to have a bad spell, I said you can't write a player off or just forget everything he did when he has a bad spell. There is in no circumstance the possibility to compare MIkel with Kalou, Bosingwa Floppes or whom ever. Mikel did a great job at times and just worked fine to exceptional at times in the Midfield and it annoys me when ppl don't accept this. Yeah he had a bad spell in that last half of the season but If you argument like this Lamps should've been gone under AVB, if he is shit till january think about selling him, if he doesn't prove you wrong after january sell him defo but after one bad spell this is unfair... Thats all I demand and many others here too. Bosingwa hat two games he stood out ok, but its still unfair to compare Mikel to him and everybody should know this if he watches football regularly... its just a matter of being fair and act appropriate

And what is new about Mikel being shit in the final half of the season... nearly everybody admitted this?

thats what I'm stating mate, this said, it doesn't mean he is bad, just god solid, and only sometimes excellent but sometimes below par too, so its all down to him for me, its his mentality... he was missmanaged after Mou left...

really well, I knew kdb will be lamps replacement... he said they both fit his profile of players (Drogs and Lampsy obiously to me), yay... knew they wouldn't just sell KDB

If he leaves, I whish him all the best. Did a great job at times but fell a sleep in some games aswell, its a shame because I thought he is a sublime talent and he has world class attributes to his game, whom ever denies this is clearly blind for talented players. If he leaves and Mou doesn't finish his work with him his problems have to issues: 1. We didn't give him any freedom on the pitch, he excelled under Carlo when he was allowed to roam forward a bit more, if you don't agree watch his both seasons under Carlo 2. his poor attitude that nobody has ever sorted out, in attitude I mean his work rate not his ethics for this club He has played tremndeously well when his father was kidnapped in Nigeria, he never hesitated to NOT PLAY FOR HIS COUNTRY just to avoid an injury and be available for Chelsea, when the club asked him to do so. He has never hesitated to put pen on paper yeah you may say this is because there where no offers for him but I don't see it that way. He did quite some heroics for us but at the end didn't take the last step so far. Things whom don't look in favour of his selling are: Emenalo is Nigerian -> Mikel is Captain of the Nigerian NT Mou was stating often about Mikel that he is like gold -> maybe he will try and improve him so I don't know if he leaves or not but if so, he is clearly not bigger then Drogs or Zola but still it will be somehow sad to see him leave and don't gett'n any credit at all by most of the fans, thats a shame... that said he is the only one to blame for because he never kept his level of worldclass performances he showed some times. His biggest problem was if he leaves, that he did an 6.5 Job nearly every game he played (last season final aside) but very rarely showed his other face... lets wait and see

I'm still over the moon

We don't agree often, but this time around I fully agree with you. And I watched Bale and still think even last season he wasn't as good as Hazard, dont know how ppl come to this conclusion. Hazard has vision, low center of gravity, speed like a bullet, quick feet, sublime technique and whats more important a very very wonderfully developed footballers brain, like Lamps, or Xavi have or did have respectively what ever you think of them is up to you, so I will leave both options open to decide. Bale is Fast and can shoot, that basically sums it up, I don't think he has that technique and that flair around him, I would buy him, yes but I would have loved Jesus Navas over here more... City buys every player I like, whats this, do they read my posts? So Bale has had a fantastic season, no doubt about that but a) I don't know if he can keep this up and if he could keep this level, h would decline by the age of 27 me thinks... I don't agree that you can compare him and Ronaldo, Ronaldy is clearly the PERFECT combination of every attribute a player needs, besides his mentality and his selfishness, so Bale is quick and can shoot but I can see where you come from by stateing he is more the Ronaldo path, but this would be unfair to Ronaldy imho... it may be the same path but not on the same level...

corrected for you
