Mikel John Obi

[pHaRaOn 2,131]

This Babawo guy is not his agent. His agent is John Shittu and he said: "I read many stories that Mikel is joining Al Ain but it’s not true. Mikel didn’t travel to Dubai to discuss with Al Ain, he went there on holiday with his girlfriend."

shame he`s essentially retired from competitive football still in his 20`s and with no health concerns. the time has come for him to depart atleast a season ago.but would think he could start for a lot of bigger clubs playing in better competitions.

no need to buy any midfielders unless somebody higher up the pecking order departs,imo we should just give his place in the squad to one of our youngsters.

The last time we thought we didn't need to replace our senior players our downfall began. We'd have learnt from that I'd hope.

Mikel`s contribution last season was nothing. we are hardly gonna fall apart. we have Matic,Fabregas,Ramires,Oscar for experienced midfielders.if we are gonna totally block any path to the matchday squad by signing somebody experienced to play sparingly instead of giving that experience to the likes of Chalobah,RLC,Baker,Van Ginkel etc.. then we will be making a big mistake.

Hurry out the door. been waiting years for this to happen and better quality player to arrive for CM.

[Oscar 441]

Surely, this means zouma will have a significant role next season

[RoyalBlues 4,050]

Oh dear, sad to see him leaving.

Good luck for him. I don't have any bad words for him at the end. He is a legend.

We will absolutely buy CM then.

[RoyalBlues 4,050]

Man, some sad times will be ahead of us if MikelGOD leaves... who will the fans shout "SHOOT" at if not Mikel?

Willian

I am not joking here

Mikel leaving? Need official confirmation before I believe that.

How he managed 9 years at Chelsea, with so many players coming and going... Good luck to him if it happens. Must be joining Al-Ain for the wonderful project.

Return of the legend?

[Adnane 1,101]

If he leaves, farewell, I would keep a lot of amazing memories from his spell here, but two the most defining :

- How he was holding our midfield alone in the 2010-2011 season ( he had the second best pass ratio to Carrick in the League ), even with all the problems we had ( Lamps and Essien injured, Ballack and Deco gone, Ramires still haven't found his marks on the PL, etc. )

- His beast performance on May 19th 2012, amazing.

Wouldn't be a proper transfer window without a Mikel exit rumor along with the inevitable Falcao rumors. Now all we need a picture of Hulk at "Heathrow"...

cavani?

[CHOULO19 24,332]

cavani?

I hear he isn't happy to play out of position to accommodate Zlatan and wants to pursue a dream move to the EPL..Chelsea observing how the situation develops....

See? I could be a sport journo as well!

[Adnane 1,101]

Sneijder to MU later today apparently.
