Mikel never started 70 percent of the ucl matches that chelsea won. He has always been a makeshift midfielder for chelsea. And FA cup , most times, is used to field second fiddle players of strong teams so that they can have some match time.

you are either ignorant or mischievous... Mikel played few role in group stage match when villas boaz was in charge before he was sack and dimateo came on board...from second round to final Mikel played in 2012 which is 7 matches group stage is 6 matches where did u get ur 70 percent crap... u can't mention top 10 great Nigerian footballers without sloting in Mikel except u are deluded... you guys are obsessed with Mikel becoming like okocha which he is not... 11 years in a club like Chelsea is no fluke

11 years on the bench. Do you know the difference between a player starting a match and playing a game?I can't be arguing with you cos you know nothing about football. Go check the stats online for yourself. The internet is there as a record. & matches you're talking about how many did he start?You guys always wished Mikel was good but the truth is that he's not. He couldn't even bench a chinese midfielder in China!

you are just an ignorant soul... who feels Mikel was a bench warmer... how do u think a player is a bench warmer for 11 years and the club won't discard him or he himself won't look for alternative u are a silly joker...2012 UCL Mikel was an active performer...go watch the final and you saw the dirty job he did in midfield... you don't have to agree Mikel is an African and Nigerian football legend...he ll stroll in easily in top 50 best of all time in Africa and top 10 in Nigeria...

And Mikel is somebody when the names of successful players are being mentioned?Of all the trphies chelsea won tell me the one that Mikel had an impact in helping them win. This is the problem with us Nigerians. We know the truth but we don't say it. With this your analogy, I can as well say that Mikel is better than Okocha since Okocha never won trophies or that Mikel is better than the Jorginho that's presently playing in the role that Mikel played for Chelsea. If football were judged by the number of trophies won and not by how good a player is in his position then the years during which Messi or Ronaldo didn't win any european or international trophies tey shouldn't have won the best player in the world. Football is more than trophies. Van dijk was so good last season that he had to voted the best player in the world. How many defenders can boast of conceding just one dribble all season, conceding the least number of goals amongst all defenders in the world and also scoring the highest number of goals amongst all defenders?The record simply speaks for itself and not the trophies.

Mexyz:
For you to even say that there was never a time that he was a starter with CFC shows that you're just hating on him.
Oga, Neves is in EPL now and he plays against teams every week, let him put on a top six team jersey or even make their bench before you start comparing him with a player who has won everything that needed to be won in club and National teams.
How old was Mikel when CFC bought him? How old is Neves now and still playing with Wolves?
I don't need to remind a football fan that when talking about the success of a player, you don't go about counting dribbles, shot on targets, appearances or starts, rather it's the trophies won with team and also personal honours.
Neves is a nobody in the premier league when the names of successful players is being called.
Not even going to Europe sef,
Someone that started the greatest match in a club's history is a fringe player?
Oga you no get talk abeg.

another thrash talk u think it was a fluke he spent 11 years at Chelsea.. despite change of coaches therein... nwakali couldn't cut it arsenal...ihenacho was sold at City... ina de talk rubbish so u wanted him to contest world best with Messi so u know he has achieved... Mikel that was a key part of Chelsea until conte came u are spilling bulshit... what is im follow money... if u think Mikel career wasn't successful u don't know football simple

You are a big fool!! Cant you air your opinion without insult? Your stupidity is underrated. Mikel did not play up to his full potential, period!! When you are used to mediocrity, you see simple things as great and great as extraordinary, someone used 9 years in a club and left and seems like nobody left while some players will use 3 years and when they are leaving the whole club will shake inside out.........stop being a mediocre, it is dangerous to you and people around you.

keep quiet there has football stop because the likes of maradona Pele cruyff ronaldinho zidane etc stop playing... u must be a joker to think Mikel didn't achieve..and had a successful career... u were expecting him to be another okocha which he isn't.... what else were u expecting from Mikel... he did his best if you don't agree it means you are myopic... 11 years in a top club as a top actor yet saying thrash.... even won an afcon crown and bronze Olympic medal with Nigeria.... because im node contest ballon dor... Aguero was best player under 20 2007 how many ballon dor has he contested.... where are those Nigerian stars who dazzled at age grade football but went off radar...since 2005 Mikel has been relevant and you are repeating rubbish of he didn't achieve his potential...

It seems you do not understand potential and work coaches do to work on the potentials of young athlete, being in Chelsea for 100 years without making any significant contribution doesnt make you have a stellar career, can you count mikel obi as Chelsea legend despite spending almost a decade? Whereas drogba is a club legend despite spending almost the same years as mikel. To you, anybody that uses donkey year in a top club has a successful career, your football mind is limited, there are many factors limiting the move of a player and by the way if you are a good squad player ( extra tire) you can use a million year so far you are contented with your place in the squad.

You dont know anything about football, go to Chelsea official site and do a poll about how the fans rated mikel, you are letting emotions take better of you, at one stage, mikel was a regular bench warmer with a registered seat number, mikel was just above average at best at Chelsea only someone with a shallow football knowledge will call him great

Lol!!! it seems this is getting to you real hard, i love it, no matter your lamentations, mikel is above average at his best, that is a fact. Let it sink in your thick skull, you do not know anything about football, you are not different from those touts shouting in viewing centres, paulo ferreira used 9 years in chelsea, was he a chelsea legend? No!! At a stage some people even forgot he was with chelsea, using 50 years as a squad player in a team doesnt make you a legend, mikel was just average, passing ball backwards and sideways and his performance at Chelsea is a step down to what he is capable of(potential) , unfortunately average things are gold to a mediocre mind like yours, this is the last time i will reply you, i do not wish to contact electromagnetic induced mediocrity from you.
