John Mikel Obi Is Over Rated by nightrider: 12:27pm On Jan 28, 2008 |
John Mikel Obi is the most over rated player in the country. Although i partially blame Jose mourinho for his in ability to be creative. I think the boy no just try. See his mate Lionel Messi, he is the fulcrum of the argentine team. Obi is just carrying his fat ass all over the field. He hasn't laid one fruitful pass. he can't control the midfield. This is someone who everybody thought was gonna be the new jay Jay. I wish That stupid Berti Vogts had carried that Under 17 number 10 . i think his name is Rabiu Ibrahim or something. The boy is the closest thing naija has to a creative midfielder. The team's bane is 1. Not an ounce of creativity. A la mediocre players and german mechanical influence from a stupid german coach 2. Mediocre players 3. mediocre players with no motivation 4. mediocre players 5. mediocrity from mediocre players. and a stupid ass coach who takes off martins and leaves a stupid ass looking yakubu on the field.

Why picking on Mikel and Mourinho? All of them are pregnant players beside Daniel Shittu |
Re: John Mikel Obi Is Over Rated by Chacal: 1:02pm On Jan 28, 2008 |
@ Nightider, Its ridiculous. Mikel Obi had a better tournament than Leo Messi in 2005 but can we say the same today? This says a lot about Nigeria and Africa as well . . . . .The so-called football agents go for the cheddarz instead of comprehensive player development. Shittu should have allowed Mikel to move to Man Utd . . . .He would have blossomed and developed under Ferguson than Mourinho. No disrespect to Jose but Chelsea had more than enough personnel in that area of the midfield which puts Mikel at a disadvantage. U cannot really blame Mikel Obi for Nigeria's shambolic performance. He is being played as a deep-lying midfielder thus thwarting his efforts to make forward runs and supply killer passes. Berti Vogts must have forgotten Mikel is an attacking midfielder. I guess Vogts watch Mikel a lot in Chelsea shirt rather than the boy's abilty. I agree with u the under 17 captain would have offered a lot against Mali/Ivory Coast but Nigeria always get things wrong. Take Bojan and Chrisantus for instance . . . . .Bojan is now playing for Barcelona(he scored a goal last night). Where is Chrisantus? In the next 3-4 years, Bojan will become another Messi or Ronaldinho and Chrisantus will end up as another Victor Agali. Is Africa cursed? |

@ Poster Thank God for the title of your trend; John Mikel Obi Is Over Rated Millions of Sane people can't be wrong, Where was Olofinjana, Uche and Martins? I would have agreed with you if you blame Vogts for not being able to manage the team. But for Mikel, forget that side, the lad is just too Don't forget the award he won after Ivory Coast's match True Blue

If i am not wrong Mikel is now a first team player in Chelsea. @NightRider If i may ask, what club are you supporting? Is it Eyinmba |
Re: John Mikel Obi Is Over Rated by vikiviko(m): 2:08pm On Jan 28, 2008 |
Without aking anything away from your postion , the players of the super Eagles have been disappointing. Mikel Obi is over rated, but the truth must be told, he's A first team player with Chelsea FC, who is toe blamed for the hype. Ferguson and Mourinho, man u and chelsea for dragging who to sign him from norwegien club. Berti vogts can't qualify Nigeria to South Africa 2010. Prevention is better than cure |
Re: John Mikel Obi Is Over Rated by sagajones: 12:22pm On Jan 29, 2008 |
Mikel is not Overrated but change wing to a deep lying Midfielder while playing for nigeria and in Chelsea he is playing as a Defensive Midfielder putting great Makelele on the bench. to me he is a very good player but you cannot compare him with Lionel Messi because the two player are very very different even at the youth level, Mikel is Deep lying midfilder while Lionel messi is a winger/attacker so to say. Mikel is a promising player and very soon we will see what he will become BUT PLEASE STOP COMPARE MIKEL WITH MESSI they are two different players.

He is sure over rated.Playing like say im leg na gold |
Re: John Mikel Obi Is Over Rated by McKren(m): 9:58pm On Jan 29, 2008 |
Mikel is Mikel, the best of Mikel can not fit into Okocha's shoes. Some Midfielders wherever they play can only be part of a Mildfield, while the greats like Maradona, Zidane and Okocha and a few others are in themselves a midfield. They are the sort of players who you simply give the ball when you run out of ideas. Mikel can only be part of a midfield while Okocha is a midfield in himself. However that being said, Mikel is not as successful as his mates who he once outshined. Lionel Messi and Fabregas are better players than Mikel right now and I have no doubts in my mind that if Mikel then went to Man Utd he would have been a better player. |
Re: John Mikel Obi Is Over Rated by nightrider: 10:01pm On Jan 29, 2008 |
He played well today, he set up a goal and score one. best thing his done since the beginning of this tournament. But remember we were playing benin. A weak ass team and it took us so long to score. Lets see him against Ghana, with Essien and muntari. I hope he has his passing boots on |
Re: John Mikel Obi Is Over Rated by dayokanu(m): 10:18pm On Jan 29, 2008 |
So playing well against Benin and freezing against CIV is now the yardstick |
Re: John Mikel Obi Is Over Rated by wormedup(m): 8:18am On Jan 30, 2008 |

Re: John Mikel Obi Is Over Rated by Meldrick(m): 1:28pm On Jan 30, 2008 |
You sit on your computer criticizing Mikel. He is your age mate. If he isn't playing well go and help Nigeria. Stop your Arsenal and Man U sentiment. The pressure on the boy is too much. Okocha didn't become the best overnight. You say he is overrated. If the boy says he is not coming to play, that he wants to remain with his club, you'll start punching on your computer that he is indisciplined. As for the man asking where Mikel was during the game against Mali, he was very active especially in the midst of world class Malian midfielders. Put your blame on your strikers and live Mikel alone ooooooo. |
Re: John Mikel Obi Is Over Rated by tng(f): 4:22pm On Jan 30, 2008 |

Re: John Mikel Obi Is Over Rated by buckeye(m): 8:11am On Jan 31, 2008 |
@ Nightrider, don't hate the player, hate the game. |
Re: John Mikel Obi Is Over Rated by ndubest(m): 8:26am On Jan 31, 2008 |
He may be a bundle of talent but talent doesnt work except if you put it to use I think his attitude to the game will surely be his nemesis unfortunately he was not guided by matured coaches like Sir Alex (who calmed Rooney) or Wenger (who calm Viera) but by the self made SPECIAL ONE I wish his parent can talk some common sense into him on his attitude on the pitch |
Re: John Mikel Obi Is Over Rated by Meldrick(m): 10:55am On Jan 31, 2008 |
Shame on all those who compare Mikel with Okocha and Messi. A bigger shame to those who say Rabiu Afolabi should take his place. No be your mate? The guy is making his cool pounds and a first team player for a world class club like Chelsea and you dey here dey break your head. |
Re: John Mikel Obi Is Over Rated by wormedup(m): 11:22am On Jan 31, 2008 |
ndubest: stop spewing drivels ! with all his attitude and your rants, mikel is still the best thing happening to the super is mikel 11-men bundled into one bloke ? is he the only one playing for the super whatever ? y'all should shut your sorry asses up and let people do there job. utaka has been outstanding for portsmouth all season; where the f&*k is he now ? mikel this . . .mikel that; aren't you lot ashamed of yourselves calmed rooney; calmed vieira my left butt cheek ! he calmed adebayor as well; to give fellow team mates head butts ! sh!ts ! |
Re: John Mikel Obi Is Over Rated by BlueMagic2(m): 7:01pm On Dec 15, 2009 |
How did mikel ever become a football. God has really favoured him. A player who cant take a shot, make a reasonable pass, cant take freekicks, cant even throw in. That guy is pathetic for a footballer. It pains me to see him play for my beloved club chelsea. If u wanna know how bad he is. His absence in the team either club or country is never felt. That is how bad he is. He should thank God for being favoured & make d best use of the opportunity. Such an A** for a footballer. |

Such an A** for a footballer. @blue magic, u are just writing off point. are u here to prove that mikel is over rated or that God favoured him and dispise u. are u surprised? with the kind of dirty heart u have over a self struggling person, how will God like u. having confirmed that God hates u, why not try suicide? with this kind of reasoning, the favour and hatred will continue in the same manner. such dumb topics are only found in nigeria where misplaced sperms are always on rampage. shame to u and ur partners who mikel never know exist. |
