Mikel John Obi

If we let him and Oriol go without any new DM

[Hutcho 8,443]

If he goes, we will surely be bringing someone in, unless David Luiz is going to be a DM, with Essien as back up, which seems improbable.

Those quotes seems a bit dodgy. Feels so open, random and casual about it. Could be a mistranslation/misquote with these kind of interviews.

Never really fulfilled his potential -but for his performance in th CL Final alone he deserves much adulation -he would have died for the club that night

I think this is a signal that the club are looking to have players in the squad better able of controlling the tempo positively, rather than simply trying to limit the opposition to 34 chances in a game and rely on luck.

But he'll go down in history as being in Munich on that night and we'll say thanks for that, like we did with Bosingwa, Malouda, Kalou, Sturridge and maybe even Torres.

That's how I feel about it.

I guess the best thing about this move is that this thread will no longer be so controversial, as with what happened with Kalou

[nono 791]

I'm thankful for his services but also very tired of him. Hopefully this means we'll get a better DM.

When Kalou was here no one really focused their hate on Mikel. No one was really bothered by him. As soon as Kalou went people realised they needed someone to hate.

God knows who it's going to be now

This thread really brings out the worst in some people.

I've personally chosen Mata. It's so controversial I'll definitely get a few bites.

I think you'd struggle to find anyone who hates Mikel. There are just many, many people who don't rate him and think we should sell him.

Personally I think hate is a pretty strong emotion to throw around so flippantly when talking about sport.

[Special Juan 27,439]

Hate is a strong word, you will not find anyone that has true love for this club using the word hate for a player. I would certainly hope not anyway.

Mikel has been a great servant to this club, but like a lot of things in life, you move on.

When i first heard about this whole Mikel going, my first thought was "Luiz is moving up the field"

i think it makes perfect sense. I still wouldnt be suprised if we did by another DM, but i honestly think Luiz wont be playing much at CB next season.

David Luiz 2/1

Demba Ba 5/2

Andre Schurrle 7/4

Ryan Bertrand 6/1

Ramires 10/1

has not it already been decided... i mean even before the guy was announced officially, he was deemed unfit for the team (even I did that). i seriously think SCHURLLE is the next scapegoat.

[Styles 9,790]

David Luiz was an emergency midfielder because our squad was woefully short. He is not a midfielder. Please stop this nonsense, I never want to see him in midfield again. EVER.

I'm guessing Cech - as people will want him gone and Courtious in

Or predictably - Torres, BA, Lukaku or Lampard / Terry / Cole

My favourite though is this dude on the forum called WHS
