Milan 17,964 Posted July 22, 2009 Share Posted July 22, 2009 John Mikel Obi has followed Florent Malouda in signing a new contract with the club. The 22-year-old midfielder has committed his future to Chelsea by signing a new five-year deal which runs until 2014. 'It was easy to commit to because I am happy here and when the opportunity came it was good to sign after speaking to the club,' said the Nigerian international. 'My future with the new manager will be bright, and I think we have a good working relationship already,' he added. 'All the managers I have played for here have their own type of systems they want us to play, and whoever comes in will want to change little bits and pieces. 'There is not much to change but they all bring in different views, and the new manager wants us to play in a certain formation which we need to get used to before the season starts.' Mikel started Tuesday night's game against Inter in the Rose Bowl, and is well on the way to full fitness under Carlo Ancelotti, who has so far employed a new 4-4-2 diamond formation. 'It has been hard work getting back to fitness but we all want to be sharp for the start of the season, training is hard work but we have to do it,' he said. 'The new formation doesn't make too much difference to me in defensive midfield,' he explained, 'but perhaps it is a little harder as I have to cover more ground for the team, but I feel I am up to the task and I am sure I can do it.' Chelsea fans can look forward to another five years of Mikel doing exactly that. Chelsea FC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its good to see that the club arent wasting time with contracts either. Hopefully they commit the above mentioned as well, then its just up to Terry to commit to Chelsea and one or two more good signings and we are good to go for the season.

diskoviolente 425 Posted July 22, 2009 Share Posted July 22, 2009 I think he can be a future Captain of Chelsea. Really good appearence on the pitch of course, long shot and all, but for me, he has all the abilities for that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clevemayer 764 Posted July 23, 2009 Share Posted July 23, 2009 he'll gonna be one of Chelsea's greatest, look ahead. I admire him since he has moved to the bridge... Absoloutley awesom skills in passing, defending and pulling the strings for slowing down and speeding up the game... just his finishing has to be better, but it looks like hes had trainded that. great...

Really good appearence on the pitch of course, long shot and all, but for me, he has all the abilities for that Have to say I don't think he will ever have the sort of charisma required for a captaincy role, but he has already shown himself to be a fantastic player over a long period of time.

Badboy 1,526 Posted July 23, 2009 Share Posted July 23, 2009 Have to say I don't think he will ever have the sort of charisma required for a captaincy role, but he has already shown himself to be a fantastic player over a long period of time. He was very very young when he came he was only 19. It was the composure and passing ability at white hart lane that gave him a platform. I think it will be hard for many youngster's to make an impact for Chelsea, they have to have an advanced football brain like mikel has too make an impact what do you think ?

Elliott 7 Posted July 23, 2009 Share Posted July 23, 2009 I think youngsters need to be given more chances, but Mikel came in like he was an experienced European footballer, he was absolutely special in that respect and its so easy to forget how young he is. Then again, he might be in his mid-20s and lying about his age like is alleged with many Nigerian players Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
