Real Madrid ‘lining Up Shock Transfer Bid’ For Chelsea Midfielder John Obi Mikel by surawilly(m): 7:51pm On Apr 26, 2015 |
Chelsea midfielder John Obi Mikel is being reportedly being targeted for a shock transfer by Real Madrid. The Nigerian international has been at Stamford Bridge since 2006, but has been linked with a summer move away after making just 12 Premier League appearances this season. And according to Italian outlet Tuttomercatoweb, Spanish giants Real Madrid are interested in bringing the 28-year-old – who has two years left on his contract – to the Bernabéu. Madrid manager Carlo Ancelotti worked with Mikel during his two-year reign at Chelsea, and is said to be keen on setting up a reunion this summer. http://metro.co.uk/2015/04/26/real-madrid-lining-up-shock-transfer-bid-for-chelsea-midfielder-john-obi-mikel-5168447/ 1 Like

Just wondering who he would or could 'bench' in the madrid first team if the deal is eventually struck. Is it khedira, illara, lucas silva, modric or kroos? I frankly can't see him breaking into the first team. Even if God answers the effectual-fervent-prayer of mikel and khedira gets injured, illara is apparently the fave to replace him not Mikel. Besides, madrid has a knack for pacy counter-attacks which needs nippy and nifty midfielders who can 'throw' quick and well-measured passes to their always-on-the-run wingers. Mikel's sluggish pattern of play just doesn't suit that. It would seem another 'long bench' that stretches from 'otuoke' to the palace of the oba of lagos awaits him. 5 Likes |

Real Madrid are looking for a Defensive Holding Midfielder in the mould of Makalele.. Carlos Ancelloti sees Mikel as a player who can fit in.. Even if it were a rumour , it shows that Mikel is a fantastic player for Real Madrid to even show interest in Mikel. Carlos Ancelloti no be Keshi oo. He absolutely knows what he wants and if Mikel fits into his plan, what else? He signs him in.. For those saying that he will be benched, please can you see the future?? Every players had his qualities, if Mikel has the qualities that Carlos Ancelloti is looking for, he will get to play.. We all know that Mourinho is sentimental, he can bench a player for no just cause.. I greatly believe in the potential of John Obi Mikel. He had always been a fantastic player, I believe Carlos Ancelloti will use him to his Optimum.. 4 Likes 1 Share |

Daninya11: Makele wins balls. Mikel rarely. The only similarity is that they both sit back. They are not in the same class. Mikel should go to a lesser club where he can get enough playing time. My loving advice. |

Epaul:Khedira and illara are leaving this summer, so it'll be him, kroos and silva fighting for the dm spot. Besides he can play alongside modric and kroos. So not as far fetched as you think. |

DeeMain:Mikel is 28yrs old and he does not need to convince anyone again about his potential,so go to lesser club to have a playing time is out of it.If I may ask you is Song get enough playing time at west ham.Football as a career is about gambling,sometime it pay and sometime it is not.If Madrid really want him,he should jump at it and prove a point because such opportunity rarely come and it can be a turn around of his career. |

Kog45:and i guess you are also making money by pointing out what your pea-brain considers as thrash. If not that you think with the very wrong part of your innards, you probably would have inferred i've got no bones to pick with mikel. If anything he is a compatriot i wish nothing but the best for. I only opined the apparent. Bloke's back-passing, sluggish pattern of play with it's attendant soporific effect, like i earlier said in no unclear terms does not, i REPEAT does not fit into the nippy pacy counter-attacking style of madrid. He is just way too slow and defensive-minded for such style of play. And that is trite enough for anybody, for everyone who has watched mikel ply the trade in recent times. Besides, there are other defensive midfielders who are head and shoulder above him in the madrid team already - lucas silva, khedira, illara et al. Truth is, mikel 'go chop bench' if he inanely appends his signature to a madrid deal. Note that I didn't say he is not a gifted player(even though a great many would rather dance to wizkid's 'wonder' song than watch him play); note that I didn't say he is a flop(even though that is somewhat true). What i did say was that his pattern of play doesn't suit that of madrid and that he is going to have a nail-biter breaking into the first team as there are already better defensive midfielders in madrid. No more than saying messi pattern of play won't suit chelsea's. If you disagree with my analysis, then write yours to refute mine MrThrash sir. |

Epaul: Madrid might turn him into the attacking midfielder we know he can be. Go and watch Nigeria-Spain in the last Confederations Cup. He ran the show in midfield and made the Spanish players look ordinary. |

Xslaze3xd: You are totally wrong and way off the mark!!! If REAL MADRID (The Galacticos) is interested in a player, then that player SURELY has something VERY GOOD to offer. It is every footballer's dream to play for 'The Galacticos' except of course you re from 'Catalunia'. That said, 'WE' both know Mikel Obi is a good player and you know why, he's one player that carries out every coach's instructions to the latter on the field of play. And remember, he's survived every Chelsea manager that has been at the helm of affairs at Stamford Bridge at one time or another. Such players are every coach's delight. Yet another reason why I'm not surprised in Ancellotti's interest of the player. Finally, let's afford him the credit (HE) Mikel deserves. Come to think of it, he would have been the first Nigerian player to don that jersey if the rumours materialise into reality..... |
