CHOULO19 24,332 Posted March 24, 2014 Share Posted March 24, 2014 After having Obi Mikel around for so long, and of course for his contributions, would really like it if he would stay.. albeit as a squad player..but would he be content with that?I dunno. He always says that he's very happy to stay and help the team until the club tells him he is no longer wanted. I'd be happy to have him as a squad player next season, and I'll be happy to see him move to the Serie A as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yeboii 1,844 Posted March 24, 2014 Share Posted March 24, 2014 I've heard that Chelsea is one of, if not the biggest teams in Nigeria. That is probably mainly because of Mikel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
happy_juan 64 Posted March 25, 2014 Share Posted March 25, 2014 He is not leaving. Other clubs dont have his friend enamolo who will hand him bumper contracts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reddish-Blue 2,504 Posted March 25, 2014 Share Posted March 25, 2014 Mikel for ballon d'or next season once he leaves Chelsea? it's obviously not Mikel's fault he's been average here, it's the club fault. Once he leaves he'll be able to play in his more favored position, than we'll see the real John Obi Mikel. Think of Messi, Zidane and Pele all rolled into one.

The only place to be 11,313 Posted March 25, 2014 Share Posted March 25, 2014 He's played 126 minutes from a possible 900 minutes since Matic was signed. That's included a few matches where David Luiz was injured as well which when you consider that for the majority of those minutes he was bought on to shore up the midfield, a job Luiz is equally adept at in my opinion, doesn't bode well for Mikel's future here.If he's happy just to play a small role as a bench player collecting his wages each week (doing a Bogarde) then I suppose he can but personally I'd like to see that role taken by a younger player who can use those minutes to gain experience and eventually become a useful first-team player.But the simple fact is that Mikel has been replaced with a player who is so much better it's not even funny. It's weird that because for a couple of years there were people who were saying just how important he was to the team, how he was one of the best in Europe in his position. They even had annotated pictures to demonstrate just how key he was to what he did for the team.Weird that only Inter have been linked to him. bababoom and Mufassir08 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fulham Broadway 17,313 Posted March 25, 2014 Share Posted March 25, 2014 Mourinho likes his 2 for every position.Scenarios where, for instance, 2 up against PSG hes very good for the last 15 -20 minutes but a non starter in my book Blue Armour 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pizy 18,907 Posted March 28, 2014 Share Posted March 28, 2014 He'd start for plenty of decent sides across Europe so it wouldn't surprise me at all if he wanted off. He can't be happy with just being the guy who comes on in the 75th minute or later to basically stand on the ball.Would be great for both parties if he moved on. Lamps too. That way we can finally bring in the CM maestro we need to partner Matic. nore_ega 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CHOULO19 24,332 Posted March 28, 2014 Share Posted March 28, 2014 Some Inter fans I know say that's it's likely that they will get him. They seem pretty excited about signing him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jase 43,479 Posted March 28, 2014 Share Posted March 28, 2014 Mikel would probably leave anyway whether it is to Inter not. However, I (or everyone) will be very glad if Inter take Torres instead from us. If they do that, we should have a statue of Thohir and Mazzarri outside Stamford Bridge..

If they do that, we should have a statue of Thohir and Mazzarri outside Stamford Bridge..Absolutely no chance in hell that Inter, or anyone in Italy will be willing to pay anything near Torres' wages. So, unless he'd be willing to take something like a 50-60% wage cut, he's more likely to Galatasaray and Mikel to Inter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Villa took a massive pay cut from 11mil to 6mil this year cos he wanted to play. If torres has some self respect, I hope he leaves and takes whatever the clubs are willing to offer to him. He has nothong to do here at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
