You can say that again, bro. I'm yet to see Mikel play as defender

In short, Song is jack of all trade

click2cbn: Whats with all dis comparison between Song n Mikel on dis thread? D topic says AFRICAN FOOTBALLER OF D YEAR 2013 n not D BEST AFRICAN PLAYER OF D CENTURY OR WHATEVER! Its simple as dis, dis 2013,who has been d best african player. If una wan compare d 2 players,make una go open a thread for dat.

PS: for me,within dis 1st half 2013, Mikel has been d best performing known african footballer with what he has played n what he has won. Ur entitled to ur own opinion too

siddiq202:
Who says he don't deserve respect? All what I'm saying is that song is by far better than Mikel in any playing role. Fact

Did anybody bench song when he was playing for Arsenal? Before Song join Barca, all the departments have been taken. You can't expect him to come from no where and bench a player that's doing fine in a team like barca. Even Mascherano (when his performance was at its peak) couldn't achieve that feat. Bro, you can't compare Song case to Mikel

siddiq202:

We are still in 2013. Yaya Toure and the rest are still in the race.

Emmadani: he is a beta player because no gud player bin dey arsanal.Let him kum 2 chelsea or baka n b a better player let me see.Nasri was a beta player in arsanal,when he come man city how many tin he play?Na arsanal dey make average player look beta,cari dat player go big team n see if he wil b beta again...!Flamini was a vry gud player 4 arsanal,when he went to ac milan,how many tin he play.?Helb was a vrygud playa in arsanal,when he went to baka,how many tin he play?Na arsanal dey make average player look beta.Mikel na song senior broda 4 futbal.

siddiq202:

Mikel is always anxious when playing for chelsea (many scenario to buttress my point). He's just getting over it now. You might not be totally wrong if you say he takes ownership when playing for SE not when playing for chelsea and he plays for SE occasionally not week in week out like chelsea. Why Song is himself anytime

siddiq202:

I agree that he makes mistake some times. That's bond to happen because no one is perfect just like Mikel too makes mistake (a noticeable one is against juventus in CL).

But in the attacking midfield role, the only time Mikel has anything to prove is when playing for SE and still cannot be compared to what song does in that role. Song is very fast, skilful, and can easily create chances for the attackers. In addition to that, he has goal sense. He can score with both head and with leg.

tbaba1234:

I support Arsenal so I can't agree with you. Song is not disciplined, he always leaves his position. Compare viera and petit when they played that role for Arsenal.

Mikel takes ownership of the midfield when he plays the forward role. Song does not do that. Not in the same class.

murimoney: I can see d blood of Detroit city running through ya veins.

Emmadani: how many goalz do bosquet score?Song is faster than bosquet n can score more goalz,but y cant he bench bosquet?U think futbal is al about bin fast and skillful?

omonnakoda: Idiotic ranting

Adufaye: bros weitin u wan try tel me na! Say mikel pass song 4 DM,weitin concern defensive nd offensive dem b two diff tinx,
Song is a box 2 box player "tireless"
Song can fit in well in any position in defense nd midfield
Song do start attack nd ends it
Song do score
Song do assist
In short song is talented

Adufaye: lol all doz player u mentioned were out of playing tyms,if mikel can pursue,xavi,buquest,out of barca den I wil knw he is good or gulder dan song lol

Adufaye: u for mention RVP,clichy, nd Fabregas na!

musKeeto:
I reckon he would be a contender too, though I think Mikel would nick it as he played more games at club level and was more instrumental in the Eagle's victory at the AFCON.

hollandis: foolish nigerians .what do you mean with his showing at the fifa confederation cup? did they not lose? Thank God I have no business wih nigerians , they are mediocres.I love my dutch boyfriend

Mikel is even more skillful than Song. Let Song try this.
