Good. We need Mikel there.

Bad, the Nigerian team does not need Mr. mikel SLOW-Bie anymore.
He is tired, too slow and of no more positive contribution othe team (Just look at his performance in the last World Cup?)
Countries like France whoare world beaters, are introducing young and hungry players in the like of Mbaape, to their team.

Mikel is in rapid decline (which does he play for now sef? Wolves or What? grin ), he cant even get a 'first six' team to play for, in the Premiiership. he should just retire from international football and use the rest of his career to make more money, like going to the MLS.
Even the Chinese League (which is a "retirment league" for Europe-based players) have concluded that he is no good for them.

BTW: We than Mikel for his contributions in the past, to the National team. Enough is Enough)

Football of today is not just about skill, speed is also required and Mikel doesn't have it. This is what Liverpool used in defeating Barca. Please we need to scout for new talents.

Dude, this is Nations Cup. You need at least 4 to 5 players with solid experience to make any headway in that tournament. You can't just fill the team with all these small boys.
how many players with solid experience were in German team when they won last confederation?

Yohh:
Just strolling in after the errand boys have secured the ticket?
Btw, how far with Mr Moses Victor who was trying to return to d team after retirement?
Moses will also return, he will tell us story of how people were begging him and that his country needs him bla bla bla. We have better replacement for Moses, that guy playing in La Liga. Let get ride of old legs and allow younger players

John Obi Mikel has confirmed his return to the Super Eagles squad ahead of the 2019 Africa Cup of nations (AFCON) in Egypt.

The captain whose return to the squad was in doubt, told AOIFootball that he had a private meeting with the Franco-German and has decided to feature at the continent’s biggest soccer fiesta when it kicks off in Egypt next month. He said;

“I met with Coach Rohr and we discussed his plans for the team in the forthcoming tournament. All I can say is that I am delighted and happy because I am coming to the Nations Cup.”

He will bow out when he bows out,

Nature will make sure of that..

You don't have to push him out when he is still valuable to the team..

That he didn't play in the qualifiers doesn't mean he is not part of the squad..

He's getting older and needs to be managed well..

If that means missing some matches,

So be it..

He simplifies football .


the most criticised super eagles player ... yet he is one of the best(legend)
You guys have cognitive dissonance. I won't be shocked to see this same kids blame mikel tomorrow for our woes. Nigerians are confused.
