JDY 1,290 Posted June 26, 2013 Share Posted June 26, 2013 He only completed 2 dribbles vs. Tahiti, so those stats remain impressive IMO Styles, The Skipper and kellzfresh 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robsblubot 3,595 Posted June 26, 2013 Share Posted June 26, 2013 He only completed 2 dribbles vs. Tahiti, so those stats remain impressive IMOFair enough. Just consider that Nigeria were the only side that used full force against Tahiti (and managed to concede:)), while both Spain and Uruguay employed reserves exclusively. Perhaps his two dribbles against Tahiti was kinda bad then. Perhaps other players would have surpassed him if they had played against Tahiti like he did.So many variables which makes these types of stats really pointless.

Popular Post! CHOULO19 24,332 Posted June 28, 2013 Popular Post! Share Posted June 28, 2013 Good interview with Mikel here: http://www.kickoff.com/news/35332/chelsea-midfielder-john-mikel-obi-is-trying-to-find-a-balance-between-his-offensive-and-defensive-play"I always try to do what my coaches tell me. At Chelsea, I have to play for the team and be more defensive. "But in Nigeria, the coach allows me to express myself and I enjoy myself. "Now, I have to find a balance between the two because it is important for my future." Amblève., The Skipper, Rambo and 2 others 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bleed_blue 136 Posted June 28, 2013 Share Posted June 28, 2013 Real mature from mikel. Passing the buck on to the managers. He should accept the reality that he will not get the position/role that he is looking for at chelsea and move on. Spare is the torture lad.

yuvala 2,167 Posted July 2, 2013 Share Posted July 2, 2013 So he's either staying or not staying? Wow, I would not have guessed that! How in the world is the above 'news'? Well it might indicate something... It probably means there are offers which he considers.Otherwise he'd just say he's staying. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It probably means there are offers which he considers.Otherwise he'd just say he's staying.We already know there are offers. He said himself that he was aware that Galatasaray have made an offer. The 'news' in Sky today is just a non-story. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well it's not like he called for a press conference to say this. He was probably asked by the reporter if he is going to leave or stay and he gave the obvious diplomatic answer of saying that he has a 4-year contract here but in football you never know what could happen.
