Kostas 1,468 Posted April 5, 2010 Share Posted April 5, 2010 Dunno he's decent but he makes a ton of silly mistakes for a captain.This will probably benefit him as a player. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boshman 1,073 Posted April 5, 2010 Share Posted April 5, 2010 Go John Obi This could be a good move for him and for Chelsea. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve 10,227 Posted April 6, 2010 Share Posted April 6, 2010 This will be great for his progress. Lets hope this happens. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
northernblue 2 Posted April 6, 2010 Share Posted April 6, 2010 It is an odd decision IMO but it should bring a positive response from him, maybe that is what the coach is thinking. Sometimes players get a confidence boost from being captain and it Spurs them on to better things.Here's hoping it happens to Obi! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueLion. 21,491 Posted April 6, 2010 Share Posted April 6, 2010 Very surprised at this, I'd have thought Taiwo, Yakubu or Yobo would have been better captaincy candidates. Good for Mikel, though, it'll help his confidence immensely and possibly improve his game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cameron 30 Posted April 6, 2010 Share Posted April 6, 2010 Why 'could'? Article seems pretty certain. He's a very mature player for his age, so i'm not completely surprised by that. There's other more obvious and experienced candidates as BlueLion has listed, but long term Mikel is a player who can take them forward.Pleased for him. Might be CFC captain one day... you never know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlueLion. 21,491 Posted April 6, 2010 Share Posted April 6, 2010 I'm still dreaming of him scoring a 93rd minute winner against Liverpool at Anfield. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
