Mikel John Obi

[CFC888 219]

Expect him to be part of the subs this weekend and may well get half an hour or so of playing time if we have a game to shut down and Jose wants to take Matic off to avoid a yellow and subsequent suspension.

Depends what you think of top sides are. Yes Bayern, Barca and Madrid might not interested, but I could see clubs like PSG, AC Milan, Inter, Roma and some other middle clubs might interested in him.

PSG and Roma and Inter already have better players on their squad.

And an old Dejong is still better than Mikel

Mikel is better than most DMs on those teams. And an old Dejong better than Mikel?

PSG maybe, but not sure about Roma and Inter. Mikel is still a useful player when he is fit, and he is not that old actually and could still have couple of years on top level. But it is still depend on if they needed him or not though. If we're lucky, we could get around 5-7 millions for him.

Won't be going anywhere, he signed a 5 year extension in December 2012 under Di Matteo remember. Can't see Jose selling him, he brought him here, he obviously still feels hes good enough to contribute here so he won't go anywhere unless its a stupid offer.

Yep. Class player and still has a role to play for us. Wish he was fit for PSG, definitely would have put in 10x the performance Matic did that night.

Think if he played alongside Matic we would of had a better chance, similar to the line up against Stoke.

De Jong is not that old, he is only 2.5 older then Mikel. De Jong is actually the only quality midfielder in Milan, Mikel wouldn't have any problem starting along side him though.

I think it depends on Mikel, i think he leaves only if he asks for a transfer. Quite frankly Mou would be quite happy to keep him as a squad player.

Mikel-Matic is a must vs United to deal with OP Fellani.

Even more especially after how well Fellaini played today v Cit. Don't laugh when I say this but hes one of their best players... who would of thought someone would be saying that after last year huh?

Wish he had got a few minutes today though,...he's been out for a long time and some match practice would have been nice ahead of a big match like this.

But all the same, I don't recall ever looking at Mikel play in a game and think that he lacks match fitness. More or less plays as expected

He often goes long spells without playing even when fit. Shouldn't be a problem

Same can be said about young and even Mata a month ago.

I'd rather put Zouma on him. Fellaini has proven to be a very effective outball if they can't pass their way out of the pressing in his ability to bring down long balls. And i thnk Zouma himself is an aerial beast, much more than MIkel and will be able to compete with fellaini much better

I definitely wouldn't be opposed to that, especially considering Mikel hasn't played for a long time and Zouma coming on yesterday ahead of him.

As soon as MikelGOD entered the pitch the game had CHELSEA WIN written all over it.
