KingMEXX: No, yu should do the shutting up. Before the arrival of Fernandinho, Yaya was a DM just like Mikel and he was more prolific than Mikel. For crying out loud, Mikel ain't even popular in London, England when compared to Yaya. If yu were online on Twitter when Chelsea played Arsenal, yu would have seen the insults heaped on him for playing clumsily especially the tackle he made on Arteta. Last season UCl was the worst, the dude kept giving the ball away to the opposition and it cost us at some point. I read an article written by one Brit Tabloid and the author described Mikel as one of the worst Central Midfielders in England. Listen to commentaries and yu would hear the same. Yu obviously don't watch football to have quoted me only to write this trash. Don't get me started with yu

safarigirl: I won't say anything concerning Mikel's first team shirt cuz that matter has been overflogged already.

Mikel has been fortunate enough to win trophies? Bro, winning a trophy takes more than fortune, it takes team work and spirit. It requires a player to do all he possibly can to futher the cause of his team, it's not about amassing goals my dear. Our 2009 U-17 team lost the gold medal because they were more interested in scoring goals and winning the golden boot than they were in working for the team.

It's not enough to just bang in meaningless goals, some say CR7 didn't win any trophies and so doesn't deserve the WPOTY if we're basing it on trophies won, but they forget that CR7 was more or less solely responsible for Portugal's World Cup qualification, hence, he gave his all to further the cause of his team- unfortunately, this ss something no CIV player will ever learn and this is why their golden generation is useless

KingMEXX: Yu seem knowledgeable in football but your patriotism overshadows your sense of judgement. I really believe that the progress of this our little discussion must centre on Work rate. If Mikel was that all powerful and complete player, why doesn't he start often just like Yaya does for City? At present, Ramires is favoured over Mikel, even Lampard. That Mikel got a full 90mins playing time in the Fa cup was because Lamps was injured and Mou wanted to rest some key players and so Rami had to play Hazards wing. Another question, Why was Luiz which we know is a master of errors chosen over Mikel in same position against Liverpool?? Mikel is just a utility to Chelsea and is only used when Chelsea have a good lead and need to add extra backing to the defence. On the National level, Mikel feels like a boss but we all know there are better players than him in the team. Emenike is one, even Shola Ameobi was better than Mikel in our friendly with Italy. Mikel is good but there isn't any spectacular thing about his style of play, no fireworks. he is just an average player. Why didn't Mikel win the BBC African player of the year if he was so good? Has Mikel ever won Man of the Match in Any Chelsea match?? A lot of questions I would need yu to answer

safarigirl: like I said, I won't dabble into the first team shirt issue because it seems like you're the only one on NL the past week who still hasn't heard that NOBODY HAS A STARTING SHIRT IN CHELSEA except Cech.

And I don't think you guys understand what we mean.

Who is Africa's best player? Yaya Toure. Who was Africa's best player IN 2013? Mikel obi. Daz all

KingMEXX: Sharp girl. Yu choose to answer what yu want and neglect the other ones yu cannot. Anyway its pointless arguing, on that day we would see who will win it. A part of me, the patriotic part wants Mikel to win but the other part of me feels Yaya should deservedly win. He has worked hard for it.

mosho2good: mikel is not going to win it.

Lousymouth: He will be flown with private jet to come and watch Yaya Toure collect the award.... If Mikel wins the award, then African football is Worthless (Don't get me wrong..He is a fantastic player but not in the class of Yaya)....
