Obi that couldn't upgrade himself to a super star. Obi had a promising start. But over all he is total disappointment when you look back to his raw talent along side Messi.

SO MUCH WAS EXPECTED FROM HIM. PERHAPS IF HE HAD JOINED MANCHESTER UNITED UNDER SIR ALEX FERGUSON HE WOULD HAVE BEEN MOULDED TO A BETTER THAN MESSI AND RONALDO.
Sam Ferguson that don't like black players? Lol

and you think he would have lasted that long in Manchester United?... The only reason he lasted that long in Chelsea is because they kept changing coaches after like 2 seasons

With the way things are going now I'm not even sure Chelsea can win the conference league. It would be a miracle if they finish in the top4, honestly I don't see that happening. Maresca doesn't know what he's doing, Sanchez and Jackson are agents sent to destroy him but he's yet to realize that fact.

Mikel, Our very own star boy

Listened to Maresca's post match interview and noticed he still has nothing against Micheal Jackson and Sanchez

BTW, they have issues deeper than this, Disasi and Brodashile arent good enough, Tosin is average and Madueke/Neto are talentless(I'm trying to pretend Sancho is good)

Classic Whataboutism..

What does Obi and what he was or could have become,have to do with Chelsea being shyte and needing to upgrade?

He's giving advice forgetting that he was below average in his days at Chelsea. You played for Chelsea for ten years and not considered a legend or even celebrated grin
He is not celebrated yet he has his name permanently hung somewhere inside Stamford Bridge huh
He was below average yet he played under every single coach that were in charge of Chelsea during his ten year reign.
He has won everything that needs to be won as far as football being a team sport is concerned.

Oga go outside go wash that alcohol wey you take away.

What Mikel Obi has won in his life and the stages he had played on makes him a huge success.

He was so integral to Chelsea that he played over 10 years for several coaches in the same defensive Midfielder position.

That position is so so important to any team that Man City suffered greatly in Rodri's absence.

Stop hating.

Sanchez is making school boy errors in an elite division. Jackson will miss eight hundred and ninety nine chances before scoring one.

Both of them are not reliable and have to be dropped.
Fixed.

I believe Peter Obi has a greater potential than what he displayed in Chelsea. To me he was a shadow of himself. He has this raw talent that wasn't properly refined.

Jackson tire persin.Some days him go assist, score, after that na so so miss other days.
Re: John Obi Mikel Tells Chelsea To Upgrade Robert Sanchez And Nicolas Jackson by spencekat(m): 2:58pm On Jan 28, 2025
John Mikel Obi is right. Jackson needs to up his
game in scoring goals and not missing chances to score. In the same vein, the guy between the sticks needs to reduce goal keeping errors.
Re: John Obi Mikel Tells Chelsea To Upgrade Robert Sanchez And Nicolas Jackson by spencekat(m): 2:59pm On Jan 28, 2025
Palmer passing the ball to Jackson in that game(Man City V Chelsea)was uncalled for. Palmer would have faced the keeper and scored or attempted to score.

Lol you got it all wrong from my own perspective. I was comparing him to the likes of Messi who the played in the under 20 final. Mikel would have been one of the greatest players on Earth if had continued in his natural position and not as a defensive midfielder and under Alex Ferguson. Chelsea made him a lower grade of his true self.
If you are insistent on comparing performances from those who played and won individual playing medals at the U20 final and how they turned out in their senior playing careeers, maybe you should also compare Mikel and Taye Taiwo who won the 3rd best player in that same tournament. When you're done doing so and you've seen how arid Taiwo's club and international trophy cabinets are, then you'd learn to give Mikel the flowers that he richly deserves as one of Nigeria's most successful players ever.

Mikel actually had 277 starts out of the over 300 games he played for Chelsea.

You might argue that his offensive prowess was clipped at Chelsea but he grew into a great defensive midfielder that will be highly appreciated in football today.

The only thing he lacked at Chelsea were beautiful goals like Essien, Meireles and Matic but he had more defensive qualities than the three of them.

Mikel was a class defensive midfielder.

Mikel had the opportunity to play for so long in Chelsea because he played to instruction of those coaches and played alongvery good players and not that he was spectacular.
If you compare Michael Essien to Mikel in the same role you will see the difference.
Mind you, Mikel was a raw talent that never used his potential, having won 2nd best player in 2005 U-20 alongside Messi

In Obi's time at the club, most managers that didn't play him ended up failing. At least before he got older.
