Pretty much means Mikel will be sold to Turkey, Monaco which I am perfectly happy with.

So Strootman getting closer to signing with Roma means that we will sell Mikel to Turkey? :blink:

Well, as long as we're not getting ahead of our selves.. :rolleyes:

No it doesn't. We already sent Oriol Romeu on loan so there's space for De Rossi and Mikel in the team.

Yeah but if we can sell him for £13-£16m as reported, why shouldn't we? If we sign De Rossi for the same, it is basically a straight swap between Mikel and De Rossi which even the dumbest Chelsea fan would have to agree with. He won't ever get any better, now because he just signed a new long term contract and had an OK tournament with Nigeria, teams will actually be interested in him. From there on they won't ever be again if he is warming the bench for De Rossi, Van Ginkel, Ramires next season. Not to forget we still have Essien who now no body want because of his past injury problems.

Have you ever heard of squad depth? It isn't basically a straight swap between De Rossi and Mikel at all. It's common sense that if you want to compete on all fronts that you need a large squad with good players who can come in and perform well.

Jose said he's waiting for 6 players to come back and obviously Mikel is part of those 6 players. If you're looking to get rid of a midfielder you'd get rid of Essien before selling Mikel. We don't need £10m/£15m. We're not a small club.

It's also not out of the question to actually play a Mikel - De Rossi pivot.

Essien, Lampard, Van Ginkel, Ramires, De Rossi, Chalobah, McEachran.

Possibly Oscar and Luiz.

Mikel still has value if we sold him, Essien probably doesn't but he can probably give us two more seasons of service whilst the likes of Nat develop. As for the price, £15 million is two Azpis, one Lukaku or the combined cost of Courtois, De Bruyne and Kalas.
