BlueLion. 21,491 Posted October 25, 2012 Share Posted October 25, 2012 All it takes is one bad pass or one mistake and the same old people come back with the "see, I told you he was useless" as if the last five years haven't proven otherwise.Correct. However that comes with the territory of playing the role he does. Like Petr Cech as the goalkeeper. Both positions command incredible concentration, and even the slightest slip-ups will be heavily criticised because they are so costly (for a goalkeeper it is concession, for a deep midfielder it is loss of possession and exposure of the defence). However Cech is applauded for making a save, and no-one bats an eyelid when Mikel makes a brilliant block or interception. He is arguably the most important player in our team. He is the base of every attack with the way he breaks down the opposition play and instigates offensive football by a simple pass. At the same time he is the pivot point of the defence and an important part of our rearguard. In essence he fulfils two roles, and he does it brilliant. Granted he has his off-days, but so does every player. It all just boils down to the territory of his position.Yep, you're right, Mikel was an integral part of that season.I mean, I've bashed Mikel's performances in the past..particularly whilst AvB was our manager but I have to say, it's good to see Mikel prove his critics wrong once again!Mikel, to me, has always been integral. There is a reason when, even as a teenager, José Mourinho would pick him for every big match. Every coach we have had since has followed suit because they recognise his importance from a defensive/disciplinary point of view.

Kojo 4,676 Posted October 25, 2012 Share Posted October 25, 2012 Kojo you lost all credibility when you mentioned that the club should sell Ramires just for the sake of a good profit.Nope, i got more rep than you so how does that work out?.I'm too popular for that stuff, Ramires should be sold and we should make some good profit on it and keep the change.

Pacquiao 1,834 Posted October 25, 2012 Share Posted October 25, 2012 great news about Mikel's new contract he deserves it, he is a joy to watch and looks like he is just going to get better and better.

robdog 2,084 Posted October 25, 2012 Share Posted October 25, 2012 Coming from the guy who said Ronaldo is better than Messi, because Messi screwed up one free kick You got me wrong. I said Ronaldinho & Zidane are better than Messi. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kojo 4,676 Posted October 25, 2012 Share Posted October 25, 2012 You got me wrong. I said Ronaldinho & Zidane are better than Messi. No you never, because your arguement was that Ronaldo performs for Portugal, but Messi doesn't perform for Argentina, and your whole point of it was Messi missing a free kick for Argentina...

Elite 3 Posted October 25, 2012 Share Posted October 25, 2012 Is this confirmed or just speculation?Would be happy to keep him on and if it is a 5 year deal then it gives him resale value should we choose to put him up for sale. I've never been his biggest fan but he's done nothing to warrant not keeping him on a while longer and see how he develops as he reaches his peak. Good squad player at the very least and gives us strength in depth if he doesn't improve so I'd be happy enough to rotate him with Ramires if we weren't looking to strengthen the position any time soon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Skipper 20,609 Posted October 25, 2012 Share Posted October 25, 2012 Kojo, you can't honestly say Mikel has been shit this season. Can't you just appreciate when a player performs well? Reddish-Blue 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am sure if Da Messiah would have lead Argentina to Glory this summer, you wouldn't be typing that.Don't make me go Ashley Cole on you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kojo 4,676 Posted October 26, 2012 Share Posted October 26, 2012 Don't make me go Ashley Cole on you Hahahaha that's the only quote you got?, mate you said a tonne of bull shit in that thread about how Messi isn't the best player in the world just because he doesn't perform for his country. And the thing is, he does, he actually does play well for his country, but your point of it was a free kick video you showed over and over again where he screwed up.

robdog 2,084 Posted October 26, 2012 Share Posted October 26, 2012 but your point of it was a free kick video you showed over and over again where he screwed up. That is how it is done son. Look I could show all I was showing that shit, cause fools like you were saying he was the Best ever. If I wanted to show that Da Messiah was a choke artist, I just bring up his low-lights vs CFC. Hey Busta, stop trying to quote me & get back on topic. You can even hate on Mikel if you want. It is his thread Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reddish-Blue 2,506 Posted October 26, 2012 Share Posted October 26, 2012 he cant, he will probably just put Mikel's great performances down to playing alongside Ramires. I personally think Mikel has taken his game to another level with Ramires playing alongside him. If they both keep improving...I can't wait to see the Rambo--Mikel partnership in 2-3 seasons!
