Mikel John Obi

[quickpassnmove 924]

time to move on?

well, i am glad that jose is our manager and not people on here.

mikel is the definition of a squad player. a decent cover for our DM, as well as a very good player for a certain kind of role for our team.

you can keep on hoping on having 5 cescs in the midfield, while that would make for some "beautiful" football, unfortunately, it would be far from "winning" football.

the likelihood that no club will pay for him and his wages and Chelsea are stuck with him won't bother me much as long as he's on the bench (which is likely where he'll be most of the time). not everything's perfect, but at least we got rid of Torres and Luiz.

torres was a 50mil worth of investment, we let him go for free. even paid half his wages while he was at milan.

and yet we are keeping mikel just cos "no club will pay for him and his wages". come on man.. dont let the mikel hatred make you blind to everything.

i ll feel good too knowing we have him on our bench. a dependable defensive sub.

Oh... I was misled by Alex post.

That is my greatest skill.

We just can't get rid of him... lol...

We just can't get rid of him... lol...

I guess we dont want to...

When does his contract end anyway?? Can't wait for us to finally get rid of him and sign a quality midfielder

Most important quote: "The manager has told me he wants me to stay"

No new CM this summer, im pretty sure. A lot will be on the shoulders of Oscar and Ramires.

He's our third captain I think, behind JT and Ivanovic.

So we'll see him with the armband in many cup games.

"This is going to be my tenth season at the club, next year it will be my 11th. This is like my family now. Every time I come to work it's like coming into see my family.

"I know the whole place, the staff, it is going to be a hard place to leave when my contract runs out and then we will see what happens."

Mikel will stay

No midfielder signing this summer

We're doomed

Proper Chels.

Total substitute to be captain is a joke!

[wilander 35]

Mikel's parking bus without starter DMC (Matic) is not working!

Reading talkchelsea when some of our usual scapegoats (Mikel, Kalou, Torres, Malouda) give an interview about staying for a few more years is priceless [emoji23] [emoji38]

Completely invisible today, he "mikeled" the game.

[lucio 5,418]

Why keep him? , if he wont even start big away games, when we aren't even being ambitious. He surely would have stemmed the tide first half
