Dude is finished, yet played for Middlesbrough. Dude is finished, yet recently signed a three year deal with Trabonspor. Mikel is not finished, his performance hasn't been great in this AFCON due to injuries.
Like I said, stop the hating and pray to be successful as Obi Mikel.

Who is Trabonspor.....

If mikel isn’t fit he shudnt start.

bankylan:



Mikel has achieved all in his career....He is married, rich , and can afford to live anywhere , buy anything, and has a name that is known all over the world. Ask your family members if they won't trade you for Mikel any day. Be ashamed of your personal failure. Someone like Fabregas has huge respect for Mikel, and Mikel is less concerned about a poor and broken boy like u with no identity.

Same with Sanchez who is on 500k Week in Man U, but he is rubbish, or Lukaku

freemanbubble:

I tire o

I dey shame for that boy
Back pass master and also slow like injured snail or injured sloth

Who go believe say na him and them Fernando Llorent, David Silva, Cesc Fàbregas, Roberto Jimenes, Lionel Messi, Sergio Agüero, juanfran, radamel falcao, Felipe Luis were age mate and even played youth ball together

I dey shame for that boy i swear

Especially in a game where the likes of Taiye Taiwo, Sanni Keita, Chinedu Obasi Ogbuke are doing very well in their respective clubs and have won a lot of medals, and Titles. and are now playing for the Superior eagles not Super Eagles again.

damosky12:
Nigerian fans and their traditional unstable and wobbly emotions...
It is a little bit too uncritical to judge Mikel because of his recent bad days with the SE... One thing you can not take away from him is His capacity to deliver in the Big games...
This is one of the keys behind several successes of the Super Eagles.. He can deliver when it matters.

LMAO

Chubhie:

Some blame Mourinho for altering his game. His game might have improved if he had joined Manchester united and not that madness he caused between Chelsea and United. I think it was more about the cash for him. Well, he made the cash tho.

Lol. I know they are Man U Fans. Still pained that Mikel Snubbed them.You guys should Forgive biko.
Meanwhile, There was a certain Anderson in your team. Where is he nw? I guess with Brazil national team in the Copa America

Poverty is a disease

He was brought to Boro to help use his expertise to promote to premiership .,the guy single handedly destroyed Boro. Boro that was initially 3rd did not even make play off at the end of the season .

Trabonspor ko Alagbonspor ni

we need Mikel to slow down the tempo of the game against bafana banana ... we can't join them to run like Headless chicken , we need some one to tell them the direction to run and stabile the team where its necessary , ... he was issued against cameroun .... mikel was supposed to replace IWOBI in that encounter

finally someone who understands football. they just think you will press for the entire 90 minutes. you need someone who will pick up the pace if the game is slow and slow the game if it too fast just like Michael carrick did at Manchester united

Yeah typical Nigeria mentality

Nigerians are very funny, once Mikel perform very well you will see everybody praising him. We need him to stabilize the mid field weather you like it or not

my man , you know your game ! a FIT mikel , will be a big minus for the bafana where we have pacy , tricky wingers in musa and chukwueze on the wings . see the way the south africans were closing down the egyptian midfielders with all their guile as well as how uncoordinated our m/fielders were made to play in our match with them in the first leg of our nations cup qualifier in nigeria without mikel . now contrast that midfield perfomance to that of the return leg where the eagles returning captain was virtually at the base of every dangerous move that carved the bafana defence open time and again and only dubious officiating robbed us of a win . We will need BALANCE and STABILITY in a m/field the bafana wil aim to crowd

The midfielder has overcome a knee problem and could be set to give Gernot Rohr a major boost as the Super Eagles prepare for Stuart Baxter’s men



Nigeria captain Obi Mikel has handed coach Gernot Rohr a selection boost ahead of their Africa Cup of Nations quarterfinal against South Africa.

The Super Eagles midfielder took part in light training during the team’s recovery session on Sunday morning, seven days after he limped out of Nigeria’s 2-0 defeat to Madagascar.

With this development, Rohr would be positive about his chances of playing against Bafana Bafana for a place in Afcon semifinal on Wednesday.

He had given a positive update to the press after his men silenced Cameroon in Saturday’s Round of 16 encounter in Alexandria.

“Mikel is trying to run already, so we will see if he could be fit one time for [South Africa] clash,” he said.


Shehu Abdullahi, meanwhile, could be considered for selection after recovering from a hamstring injury suffered against Burundi.

“We hope that Shehu [Abdullahi] can come back, he was on the bench [against Cameroon],” Rohr continued.

“Right now, I’m very happy that we have competition for positions in the team, it us choices to make incase other players are tired or injured.”

my man , really impressed with your rebuttal , been saying the exact same thing when they bring their tired and quite weak " mourinho maimed mikel " narrative . i mean didn't a certain man utd manager opt for a right back to play midfield ahead of pogba when they had injury crisis in midfield ? or tom cleverly breaking into the team ahead of pogba ? and lets put aside how the career of anderson ( a boy so good , he won the best player of U17 FIFA world cup despite playing just the three group stage matches due to injury ) played out in MU , can they name just three black players that played the no 10 role for a top team in the class of man utd , bayern ,real barca. Juve , psg et al in europe past and present ? Oya make we reason am .

Lubbish

he's so lazy

Mikel should ginger d boys from d sidelines...we don't need his slow pattern.

holllandis:
God punish devil

Useless Mikel wants to spoil the little progress we had without him

What is his own?

Seriously, we don't need him at this time. He doesn't have that fire and push to win. He appears very slow and doesn't seem to be under pressure to win. I wasn't surprised that Bonfree Joe, our former coach said the same thing a few days ago in an interview he granted either TVC or Channels TV (not sure of the TV station). I have this fear if he plays, we may end up losing that match. I was happy when I read in the news that he may not play till the end of the tournament. We need players that have a sense of urgency and fire on the inside to win and are ready to go all out to give us the victory we need at this critical moment.

He Shud Come On As A Sub In The 85th Min Please.

Nice one...

Moment Obi enter the bitch that is the end..Shior..the game will be "dabaru".

This must be a joke, I totally he won't be playing due to injury. We don't want him o he is a bad luck.

That's why we don't need him, you can't break a defensive team by slowing down the attack .

There is a huge difference between slowing down the tempo of the game and slowing down the attack

I don't think Mikel will be feature against SA.He is just training with the team.

Slowing the game will make us lose.Did they slow against Cameroon.Aggressive football is what super eagles need.

John Obi Mikel is surplus to the present requirement.
That guy is overrated, always lagging.
He can no longer hold the mid field together neither can he feed the strikers with needed timeous passes.
If you play Mikel against the Bafana Bafana in this quarter final, Super Eagles will be out.
