Beepu 1,714 Posted June 20, 2013 Share Posted June 20, 2013 was scrolling through facebook and then say this headline from givemefootball.com "Drogba convinces Chelsea ace to leave west London!" First impression was But then i saw it was Mikel so i calmed down. But anyway, not sure why everyone is so keen that he leaves. He hasnt been the best and but he hasnt been the worst either. I wouldnt say no to him leaving for 13m but the reaction from people here is kinda unexpected for me "please leave.." etc Clevemayer and Manilla Brawler 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JDY 1,290 Posted June 20, 2013 Share Posted June 20, 2013 The article on SS is still up. Apparently Sabah, the Turkish newspaper who reported it, have a history of making up news. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bleed_blue 136 Posted June 20, 2013 Share Posted June 20, 2013 always sounded too good to be true. I still stand by my initial sentiment No other club will be stupid enough to actually make a bid for John Obi Mikel (unless they have Emenalo/John Shittu as the men deciding their transfers) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phil Driver 503 Posted June 20, 2013 Share Posted June 20, 2013 I have every confidence their is truth in this story or at least we are anxious to sell .1. Because Mikel is a poor player.2. Mourinho is a top manager who knows what he is doing.1+2 = Bye bye Mikel . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kostas 1,468 Posted June 20, 2013 Share Posted June 20, 2013 This last page has been enjoyable to read, in a very juvenile/immature way. Mods can us 10 lads that rate him on here throw a party in this thread if its still in this section on the 1st of September?David Luiz was an emergency midfielder because our squad was woefully short. He is not a midfielder. Please stop this nonsense, I never want to see him in midfield again. EVER.Love the emphasis. I love the boy but I'm just as desperate.

diskoviolente 425 Posted June 20, 2013 Share Posted June 20, 2013 Didn´t Mourinho say back then that players like Kalou and Mikel are the future of football ? Mikel today is the player because of Mourinho. Why would he let him go, can´t see no reason other than Mikel really wants to go.

Kostas 1,468 Posted June 20, 2013 Share Posted June 20, 2013 The whole thing makes no sense. Usually such stories are a product of an agent trying to negotiate a new contract. With Mikel's last contract having been signed some 7 months ago I seriously doubt his side is the one causing the stir (if there is any).I can see only 3 possibilities. Either Galata (or some other club) promised Mikel higher wages (unlikely) and his agent a decent fee, or the Mourinho desired to offload him and the media got a sniff of it (ha), or the journos made this up, threw in Galata for good measure, realized this is attracting clicks from a number of Chelsea fans and went with it.Bonus: Of course it could also be the club deliberately misleading the media to their own end by leaking vague BS e.g. African CFC player to join ex teammate. (Remember the Italian ex-player to join AVB's staff and top english midfielder to ManUtd stories a while ago which had the media drooling over Zola and Lampard?)
