Patriotism!mikel Obi Starts For Chelsea But Turned Down Eagles Call





Eagles coach Stephen Keshi revealed his frustration with midfielder, John Obi Mikel who failed to play in the two friendly games against Botswana and Zambia.

The Chelsea player claimed to have an injury, which forced him out. But Keshi said he was just watching whether Mikel would play for the Blues this weekend before he passes judgment on his commitment to the national team.

“I will be disappointed if he plays for Chelsea this weekend. I will be very very disappointed,” Keshi said in Kaduna after the game against Zambia.

Keshi's never going to call him again, it's time for Sanni Kaita be called back to the SE.

I am more dissapointed that we didnt win yesterday. Mr. Keshi farabale

Mikel is a hugely an over hyped player,he aint good the way people see him. Let's forget about the dude abeg!
Kaita is far more better than him.

Is there any other kaita or it is the send world cup red card kaita? I agree mikel is no good with his performance yesterday but keshi better find another replacement. No Kaita ooo.

Bring back Sanni Kaita!!

He is better than Mikel, more committed than Mikel and I dont think its fair to kill him for losing his cool on one occasion.

Every SE coach since Amodu should've learnt to call Mikel's bluff by now. He keeps rubbishing them and they keep going back to him.
It's not as if he's Schweinsteinger or Yahya Toure so why this fixation with him. Coaches do your job,call his bluff and restore your dignity FFS!

Was it not same guy that said he has serving naija with all his heart when his dad was kidnapped?

The same Kaita that you people rubbished just because of a single flop at the world cup.

I also think Mikel is overhyped. There are other players that can take his place in the eagles.

any1 but kaita, aside from his red card, he didnt do anythn in d world cup

Off d record,Mikel is a piece of junk. His arrogance shows in his play also. Well,i dont blame him,i blame 9ja coaches who cant luk beyond a retarded 23 yr old who scored just 2 goals ova a 5 yr period

You complain when Mikel is in the team, now you moan when he pulls out of the joke of African football

Mikel Obi is among the pensioners at Stamford bridge why should we bank on him, look at his current performance I hope Keshi watch the match yesterday

He started for chelsea but caused a blunder so don't worry about players abroad,dig up from our local league,create competition amongst the players.

Come to think of it, with the state of things with Nigerian football and the corrupt NFF, what's to play for in the National team? To hell with patriotism, no be dis same country wey give Yobo national honour?

I don't blame Mikel cos it's his decision to choose where he prefers to play, and even when he plays for the Eagles his impact is hardly felt anyway.

But walahi Mikel fall my hand yesterday ooh

I bet you cant find any post of mine where I crucified him.

He lost his cool on that day for whatever reason, but you can never fault Sani Kaitas commitment to the super eagles. First in camp, never involved in any skirmishes and always puts in 110% everytime he is on the pitch.

Even if we dont re-call him, we need players like himself and Kanu Nwankwo who put country first and showed unwaivering loyal to the Green &white!

I don't want to be talking like a preacher at all
I no want to do as I sabi pass ball
I know say eno be everybody e sabi play ball
But arise, o compatriot, if Nigeria call

nigeria honors those who dishonor her, and dishonors those who honor her.

i think mikel's days at the national team are numbered,not just national team but chelsea also.

Indiscipline will finish the super eagle,write it down

he was rubbish for chelsea on sunday anyway, his performance was lacklustre and like other people have pointed out, he is over-hyped, he surely wont be missed.

mtshewwwwwwwwwwwwww, i jst hate wen d name mikel is mentioned, d Guy na shit yesterday, which yeye bakbone? i hate him and chelsea anytym anyday

arise oh compatriots!!!!!!!

As a chelsea fan mikel is one of my least favourite player at d club, too slow

i dont see why he should play the friendlies- risk getting injured or even worse not even being paid significantly, whats in it for him? doesnt matter if he is or isnt a fantastic player- if the team could get thier act together everyone will be proud of serving it! did emmanuel adebayor not quit international football when the headache became excessive? abeg please dont blame the guy in his position most of us will have changed nationality quick quick!

I dnt blame mikel, players make mistakes all d time jst like john terry slipped against arsenal. Bt what i wud like to knw is wt happend to haruna lukman

Mikel!!!
Overhyped brat, I think nigeria as a country will be better of if we take the time and look for better players both locally and internationally.
Let's face it, mikel had a lot if promise; but never really matured into a good player, either cos of choice of club or maybe he was never really that good in the first place

He was good. Maybe its the choice of club
