This seems like the perfect chance to get rid of him, there haven't been many high points this season, selling Mikel out of the blue like this would certainly be one of them.

Idiot 71 Posted February 24, 2012 Share Posted February 24, 2012 Did you read my post? I don't want to play him because of his offensive abilitys.... they are shit.... But he is great in defense and thats somethin most of our midfielders aren't.... they are shit in every single sense.... Mikel instead can help to fix our defensive problems.... But i know that most people doesn't appreciate him Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Justin_3d 1,140 Posted February 24, 2012 Share Posted February 24, 2012 Essien, Lampard, Ramires, Mereiles for exampleWe got Romeu, so he can go to Russia, don't need his sideways passing, and slow play of the game!If we sell Essien there is always David Luiz as CM!

francozola 2,040 Posted February 24, 2012 Share Posted February 24, 2012 If Anzhi offer 15m we should bite their hand off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CHOULO19 24,332 Posted March 10, 2012 Share Posted March 10, 2012 Great performance today, his passing was sublime. He was, imo, our best player till he came off. Though, it did help, I think, that Stoke did not attack us at all, so his defending was not put to test. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
francozola 2,040 Posted March 10, 2012 Share Posted March 10, 2012 He was played much higher up than usual, right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clevemayer 764 Posted March 10, 2012 Share Posted March 10, 2012 yes and this exactly the role mikel should always play... DM but a bit higher up the pitch... great composure and great skill on the ball Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CHOULO19 24,332 Posted March 10, 2012 Share Posted March 10, 2012 He was played much higher up than usual, right?I don't know if he was "played", as in the manager told him to player higher, or if it was Stoke's deep defending that lead him there.

Popular Post! Kieran. 6,317 Posted March 10, 2012 Popular Post! Share Posted March 10, 2012 Of course there's no praise for Mikel, even though he's played very well in the last two games. Joker10, Sheva., francozola and 5 others 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kostas 1,468 Posted March 10, 2012 Share Posted March 10, 2012 I think he looks at his best when teams sit deep and invite pressure rather than trying to dominate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ollie 4,400 Posted March 10, 2012 Share Posted March 10, 2012 Stoke posed precisely no ambition and no attacking desire. They played to score 0 and were so negative they coulda finished with -1, Mikel had an easy game today. Lets see how he does against City, Spurs and Arsenal if he plays. What even happened to Romeu?

LDN Blue 7,903 Posted March 10, 2012 Share Posted March 10, 2012 I liked him higher up the pitch, I think he added stability there. I'd forgotten how good Mikel was in these park-the-bus situations. Well done lad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BleedsBlue 1,549 Posted March 11, 2012 Share Posted March 11, 2012 Mikel has done really well under RDM.He's shown that he is a force to be reckoned with and that he shouldn't be considered as a 3rd choice for the cdm role. I honestly feel that Essien is much better at that role.Essien can offer much more than Mikel,he's fast and can take some lethal long shots.Romeu is also a class cdm.He makes those quick passes up ahead and is solid at the back,he's like a 5th defender for us.Reports have suggested that Juventus are interested in Essien.Now I feel if they offer more than 10m then we should sell him.Essien is too injury prone and its time we sell our players at the right time.The man is almost 30 years old and it can be fair to say that he wont be here for long.Mikel's performances can be erratic but then we also have a consistent Romeu who may choose us over Barcelona when the time comes.David Luiz can also play as cdm,a role which he favors and is quite good at times.So there are many options.I am not really a huge Mikel fan but when I see a player work hard and play well,its my duty as a Chelsea fan to appreciate such performances and praise him.
