Dblack: Remember morinho created that special holding role mikel plays, apart from romelu thrs no one in chelsea who can play dt role as discipline as mikel does. My opinion is mikel will b an integral part of morinho season

Yes of course I remember. He had a very special holding role on d bench

Abu Mikey: I wish the guy goodluck ooooo....

Wish him patience too

torgbe: smh. U r lost

Pls kindly help him find his way

mikel surely did not improve and stagnation is a bad in a game that is so competitive, mikel was way way better than Alex song in 2009/2010 but fast forward to 2011/2012 and compare.( though song has lost his shine in moving to barca). Even if this move is a rumour, he should develop his game.

Mikel will be CRAZY if he should leave Chelsea now to Gala where he'll be less visible
While he's won all at Chelsea, let him go for a new challenge where he'll be more visible
Though in footie,its all about the dough i.e. a big retirement payday
But that's when you are 29-32 not a prime '26'

Dts wat he gets (an offer. From Galatasaray) for not improvin all dese y...I jes hope Mourinho can still give him a chance n talk 2 his head dt he can do much more beta dan wot we r getin frm him nw...bluez4lyf.

1313: Agree to join by principle does not mean He has agreed and diffrent from signing a deal. This news is still unfounded. Next topic please

Abi ooooo.

Come to think of the fact that this was a player who came 2nd to Messi few years ago @ the under 20 level, but juxtapose their quality presently and see the significant gap between the both, for all i care going to Galatasaray ain't a bad move cos they aren't pushovers.

rman:

Ivanovic and John Terry must have been signed to score goals.

mikel is a failure in chelsea. . .oops. YOU FORGOT TO MENTION DAVID LUIZ

essien

LAMPARD

I'll rather he leaves. . . . .who knows galatasaray will be a progress to his carreer.

With the likes of Essien, Romeo, Ramires, Lampard + new hot talents thats gonna arrive this Summer. Next season is gonna be hot for him!

y'all talk of Essien as if he there's some armour left in his tired legs.

scholes23: Its would be better for him to leave if not, he'll continue from where he stopped as a first team bench warmer during Mourinho's spell @ chelsea cos there's no way in d world he's gonna bench essien, ramires, lampard or even mata

Loooooolz you guys neva learn.
Isn't it the same mikel that all so called football heads said he wouldn't see a shirt because of ballack, "ESSIEN", lampard, Deco, Robben, makalele, etc etc when he joined them?
The same mikel that has consistently been used by all Chelsea coaches year in and year out without a drop in form?
I can understand when people say he doesn't improve..i can live with that
But you saying he is gonna be BENCHED J̶̲̥̅̊u̶̲̥̅̊S̤̥̈̊τ̲̣̣̥ because essien is coming back?? Haba
We fans are J̶̲̥̅̊u̶̲̥̅̊S̤̥̈̊τ̲̣̣̥ spectators, and are more drawn to flashy players or goals, but believe me when I say that there is something mikel brings to a team that all chelsea coaches have not been able to ignore, and fans probably don't understand. J̶̲̥̅̊u̶̲̥̅̊S̤̥̈̊τ̲̣̣̥ the
Same way that garba lawal brought something to the nigerian team that fans could not get.
Mikel isn't going anywhere, cos he plays according to coaches instruction (something mourhino loves)....compared to a Luis that does what he feels like on the pitch (somethings fans may love, but Mou hates)

Feed me more: So Mikel will leave the EPL without scoring a single goal in the league?

Too Bad.

Its a big lie say something else I'll believe you.

sylve11:


shut up! then what is he signed for?

rman:

Ivanovic and John Terry must have been signed to score goals.

The concept of sarcasm must be alien to you

torgbe: YES HE MUST LEAVE CHELEA CUZ DA MAESTRO ESSIEN DA BISSON IS BACK..SORRY MIKEL,MAKE THE QUICK DECISION AND SAVE UR JOB

So u think Essien can send Mikel parking?

vislabraye:

So u think Essien can send Mikel parking?

No mind them. Even if Essien is coming back to Stamford Bridge, he will mostly be a substitute, or will be fielded in the Carling cup and FA Cup games.

jasper7:
It happens, He was not signed to score goals.

see excuse.

If i were him i would remain at chelsea, he shouldn't think he's following Drogba's footstep... Coz the last time i checked drogba is already 30 something having played competitive football at chelsea while mikel is just 26 and have 4 good years to play at the top. Between going to turkey will reduce his publicity with his game is not even one that can attract the press.

He shouldn't forget that going to galatasaray means he is set to lose his supposed '' big boy '' of Nigeria title.

the agrieved chelsea fan...when man u wanted to groom him then for a world class player he jumped his own ship to join anothers' man ship now look @what he.s done to his football future.

Has Essien come back to Chelsea?

the most sensible post so far

This story is false cus not long ago mikel said he can not wait to work with jose mourinho for the second time. And you guy should not forget that there is no body in chelsea that plays the DM role as good as mikel and don't forget that mourinho made that role for mikel before he left plus chelsea are short of holding midfielders, so sell mikel does not come into the book at all and i know jose will improve him greatly.

hmmmmm
