Mikel John Obi

[TrippingStep 336]

List five that are better and five reasons for each why they are better. And don't forget players like Yaya Touré and Cheick Tioté don't count as they are B2B midfielders and not pure DMs.

Just curious to see who you think is better.

Yaya Touré at Barcelona played as a defensive midfielder.

He isn't at Barcelona now is he? Ruud Van Nistelrooy was a midfielder when he debuted at Den Bosch, and what position is he famous for?

[Muzchap 8,966]

Think he is playing better - just struggling with Lampard.

Thought his best game was with Meireles, buts that's no longer an option.

Time o pair him with Romeu and see how that works out, as not working for Lamps...

[FL8 4]

I've the same feelings, we should give Mikel Romeu pair a chance, if current one not work good enough...

I dont rate Mikel highly. I should state that first.

Just realised, that ever since any player has joined Chelsea after the Roman Era, there has always been some form of Interest from other clubs for almost all our starters, EXCEPT FOR MIKEL.

I wonder why.

I really think only our supporters(not all) rate him that well.

Tell me how pathetic i am.

No club has been interested in Cech. He must be shit too.

[The Rising Sun 709]

No club has been interested in Cech. He must be shit too.

What? I said at the beginning of my post that i dont rate Mikel Highly. Cech must be shit too? Am i missing something here? Some sort of inference?

It works differently with GK's . Most Big Clubs have long terms solutions for their GK's.

Anyhow, your reply was not in any way constructive, so i will refrain from providing a constructive reply. Ill 'Skip' it.

You may not rate Mikel but he has obviously been rated by every Chelsea manager over the last six years since he has averaged over 40

games a season ... I suppose you will find this irrelevant and not constructive as it doesnt agree with your spurious opinion

Or it could be because they realize we have a real gem on our hands and that we wouldn't give him up so easily!

Mikel is highly underrated.

Mikel is highly underrated.

only by a few "know alls"

[Badboy 1,526]

He gives us stability in the midfield and I feel a lot more assured when he's anchoring the midfield.
