Talk about obsession...

The thing with Mikel is that he doesn't give us enough in Midfield, all the big sides have DMs who offer something going forward, whether it's passing, the ability to beat players or a goal threat. Mikel offers none of that, he's a good defensive player, he offers stability, but watching Matic these past few games its crazy to think that Mikel lasted as long as he has.

No I don't believe that for a second myself, what other defensive midfielders offer is movement.

Mikel is slow and doesn't move enough which is his main deficiency - if you look at Lucas for example he also offers very little going forward but covers a lot more ground at high speed. In our system we need a more mobile player than Mikel in midfield - that's the reason Matic was signed and Luiz has been playing there on occasions.

Mikel would be a good defensive midfielder in a system that didn't rely on him to cover large spaces as it's required in our current system.

one thing i like about him is the way he holding the ball. and when he put a trick or two there like roulette or something else.

as for me, its ok if a DM dont cover big space on the field, but when opponent want to messing in his area, he have to pressing that hard. i dont see mikel do that. he just do jogging, and jogging like its a beautiful morning with no pressure at all

NEMANJA MATIC HAS MOVED THIS THREAD TO EX-BLUES

[Joe Cool 388]

Hopefully the people who had bent over and stuck Mikel's cock into their arses for all these years have finally got an idea of what having a proper title-winning calibre DM is like with the signing of Matic.

I heard somewhere that fiorentina were willing to pay 5/6mil for flabby anderson.

Mikel on the other hand (despite his limitations and deficiencies) is a very decent footballer. Nothing less than 12mil I would say.

Even meireles went for 8.

Moreover he is still only 26.

[Benches not the shed 77]

Mikel is toooooo defensive , always likely to commit a stupid foul in a dangerous place when your backs are to the wall... I told him this to his face 2 weeks ago in a central London street, he didn't reply.. He just stared.

[happy_juan 64]

A 10 minute cameo was enough to spoil our entire game plan. Should have rather played with 10 men than bring him on.

12 mill is a lot for us to pay them for that they should take him and Torres

[Las7 951]

Never mind the fact that they were all over us even before he came on and Oscar/Ramires were awful in this match -

blame Mikel

[didierforever 7,349]

TC flow chart

Did we win - Yes - post we are the best team in the world.

Did we win - No - blame mikel even though he woukd be person least at fault.

FFS, Mikel cost us the points again!

[Beigl 1,387]

He would be much better in a 4-3-3 midfield as the most defensive player.In a 2 man midfield he isn't creative enough.
