🇳🇬 Mikel John Obi

[Blue Armour 4,439]

I know the argument is that Chelsea ask him to do a different job, but Matic has come in and doesn't seem to be under any instructions to sit deep and keep it simple. In fact in pretty much the same team he's shown himself to be comfortable running with the ball, looking to create chances and even taking the odd shot.

True, and that was the case even when Essien was at CDM. The rules change when it comes to Mikel, and its probably because he doesn't have the energy to track back after going up the pitch.

Its truly a tale of two different players between the Nigerian Mikel and the Chelsea Mikel.

Incredible. I am sure if he played like this at some other club,we would all be drooling over the prospect of signing him.

Its amazing how he's able to play two styles of football. I think he should leave Chelsea so he'll be able to stick to one and be allowed to play his natural game.

I've no idea what Mourinho plans for next season but I think, if i were him I'd keep Mikel, b/c I really like the Double-DM-pairing of Matic/Mikel if a more defensive approach is required against specific Teams.

I think Mikel is a very good Player and he did a great Job last few games he played, especially vs Liverpool. He was very concentrated, worked for the Team and his Stats (defensively) were outstanding.

I do doubt, however, he'll be satisfied for long being in the starting lineup just every 2nd or 3rd match.

Beat me to it

Think it's best for him and best for Chelsea - some great memories (some bad) but onwards and upwards for both parties

Ahh but is John Shittu related to Danny Shittu (Millwall)

Best for him. Wish him all the best.

Obi is set to agree terms with Inter.

The 27 year old Obi arrived in 2006. He played well enough over the years. Under Jose he was not used much in this season.

Personally, I do not blame him that he wants to leave now.

Another player is leaving. The garage sale continues.

[mccg 1,528]

Think if we get £10mill or so i'd take it and put it towards a world class new Frank Lampard please !!!

Then we would have Matic,Mvg,Ramires,New Frank Lampard,plus any of the loaness or U21's to take us through next seasons war!

[kellzfresh 7,229]

I hope we get a proper replacement to improve the CM and not stop gap guarins. If we can't get a vidal, pogba, gundogan, modric level replacement, we should just play vanginkel and promote our youth because I'm tired of us over-paying for squad players and not first team starters.

[xPetrCechx 13,570]

Chelsea will listen to offers for Mikel. A poor second half of the season for Ramires means Mourinho may cash in. (Evening Standard) #CFC

26th min pass to Oscar over the top of the def, Nigeria Mikel.

[y10edn 185]

Was the bucket carrier for many seasons, true professional and should be remembered as a good servant of the Club if he leaves. 8 managers, FA, EPL, Euro & Champions Club winner stand out performance were Semi and Munich in 2012 at 27 Years there most be more to come from him.

[CHOULO19 24,332]

Surpassed Zola today and became the overseas player with the third most appearances for Chelsea after Petr and Didier. What a servant he's been for the club!

If this really was his last game in Chelsea blue, he has all my respect and gratitude for all the years of service and all he's helped us win during his time here.

And he is only 27.. He could easily reach 500 matches.

No surprise we came right back into the game after he was subbed off. Proper 11 vs 11 game and we scored 2 goals within 5 minutes.
