He's more of a poor man's Lampard than Croatian Xavi. In fact, his dream club has always been Chelsea since he idolized Lampard. As a player, he is no.8. Making late runs into the penalty box to score goals, decent size (180cm) but not so good in the air, can shoot from either foot,  Doesn't have eyes to read game, unlike Lamps. He's not the most technically gifted player of bunch but boy he isn't Ramires of the world. He does have adequate first touch and his ability to holding onto ball is above average. He isn't great at defending but is mobile, has strong stamina and willing to do dirty jobs. Not a lazy arse like RLC. He came off a down year but largely due to total chaos Inter was under Mancini. They didn't have proper playmaker to set the tempo of the game and none of Kondogbia, Medel and Brozobic are capable of doing that job. Midfield was totally collapsed. He was bounced off to RW and wasn't so great there either. He makes observers think this guy needs change of scenery as Inter has no clue/ no structure to get best out of him. Inter is forced to sell Brozovic as their marquee signing Joao Mariu may force Inter into FFP violation. Juventus is seriously interested in him which means he's no slouch, but Inter hates Juventus and no doubt about that the way they act like cheap arse all over Europe. Inter is desperate to make some income, but they hate to sell asset to their direct rival.    

 

Conclusion: Not a bad investment for 20m. Still young, proper coaching and maybe a bit of bulk up would help him immensely. Even if he flops, we can still recoups majority of resources we put in to purchase him.

If he comes I think he will be utilized next to Kante in place of Matic.

Cheers mate. Appreciated.

His YouTube clip looks good.  It was nice to see some defensive clips in there.  His game looks Marchisio-esque.

 It was nice to see him do Koulibaly in the one clip.  Unless, of course, we sign Koulibaly, in which case it was just a one off play and it was the fault of the midfielder in front who didn't protect properly.

Just proof YouTube can make even Oscar good. 

Trust me when I say this. HE. IS. WORSE. THAN. OSCAR. And that's saying a lot.

I'll trust you since you've seen him.  

Reports suggest that he's a different kind of player though, and sounds like he would fit in a midfield 3 with Kante and Fabregas nicely:

http://bleacherreport.com/articles/2600415-scouting-barcelona-transfer-target-marcelo-brozovic

Probably won't go anywhere though.  Wouldn't be shocked if it's just a ploy by his agent to get a raise.

I've rarely said a player is bad in general, without actually seeing him and he is in the same mould. Misplacing simple passes. Does one thing great, then looses the ball ten seconds later, because he attempts an impossible nutmeg. I'd rather we try Schneiderllin from United or Momo Diame even. I just don't think he'd do us good. Squad player for us, at best.

[Cosmin 2,484]

You people are so mean when it comes to Mikel, it's unbelievable. Yes, he isn't Makelele, but the guy helped us won a lot of things and deserves some respect. 

Do you even watch Chelsea or, I don't know, where were you in 2012? 

[RuudiGullit 112]

10 million + Mikel equals 2 million.
