Mikel John Obi

[BLionheart 516]

Whenever puts a half-decent performance some overpraise him as if he played like Pirlo / Alonso !!

Mikel isn't good enough for a team that is supposed to challenge for EPl and UCL , he should be shown the door in the summer ... and his age shouldn't be a factor because he has showed no signs of development for 5 years . we should sell him now while he is worth something.

Nah, Mikel is underrated.

And whenever he makes a mistake, he gets put down as if he's nothing more than a Lucas or Henderson.

Lucas and Henderson are both better than Mikel IMO.

Lucas is actually a class act.

Not sure about Henderson being better than Mikel. He's got alot to learn.

As for Lucas, he's definitely improved alot, he was possibly Liverpool's best midfielder this season before that nasty injury.

Yeh, if we can get close to 15 million, sell him.

If not, play him higher up the pitch. Never liked him as a DM...he doesn't even need to play DM cause Essien is back, Romeu is available.

He's a useful midfielder to have in the team.

At times he can be really awful but recent performances have shown that he has improved a lot.I think the best option for the club and Mikel would be to sell him.Mikel is young and should get some more game time than he gets at Chelsea.A few clubs will definitely show some serious interest in him and hopefully a team like PSG or Anzi will offer more than he is really worth.

A deal around 15m would be fair and this will give Romeu and maybe even Luiz more chances to play as their preferred role.

I still think we need a better DM. Romeu seems to have disappeared off the face of the earth. This whole Barca "will he go will he stay" thing is going to become a fiasco as well. Essien is okay for now but if we can get a decent offer (18m that Juve are apparently going to offer) then we should let him go.

It shouldn't be our priority atm since we need to focus on attacking midfielders and wingers but still, for the long term we need someone potentially world class if Romeu isn't committed/good enough

[BlueLion. 21,491]

He was very, very good against Stoke and I want him to play against Naples. A composed CDM figure is pivotal.

[LDN Blue 7,903]

Comparing Henderson to Mikel? LOL.

For me Lucas is the best DM in the league, or was.

If we really want to splash some cash and make our midfield a bit stronger and sign a potentially world-class CM/DM, you'd have to look at Yann M'Vila at Rennes.

David Luiz might eventually be converted into a DM but in the short term, I wouldn't mind seeing him as the back-up RB..(with Cahill & Terry as the CB's).

[zolayes 14,489]

mikel is usually the scapegoat for slowing down our play ,,,,but the whole of our team plays at that tempo as we have seen when obi hasnt

been playing

Nah the lad at Newcastle is better and a lot more aggressive.
