Mickael2:see how you shifting goal post... so Chelsea was just applying courtsey ? how many players have them addressed in such way ? you leave me surprised sometimes the way you downplay these players achievements. you think mikel was not a good material but still he survived the influx of coaches that managed Chelsea during his 10 years era.....and partook in the club milestone of winning the ucl 1 Like |

Humility017: Mikel did his job in the team, that does not make him a legend. Yaya Toure was a vital part of the 2008 treble winning barca side, still he isn't a Barca legend |

Humility017: this is how wars start, misunderstanding. I NEVER said Mikel is/was not a good material. I said he was a great player for Chelsea but not a legend |

Joebie: now I am confused, so despite being a vital player(not vital alone, infact irreplaceable, only about 4 players in that team were irreplaceable) in our first Afcon win since 1994 he isn't a SE legend? But for being a pivotal piece in a star-studded Chelsea team that cost almost 1bn he is a Chelsea legend? |

Let me define it again in my own opinion. If we are speaking of a club. I want to look at the long history of the club especially as it has to do with our lifetime. I want to look at the golden era, or the era of best achievement to see those who were monumental to that feat. Those are the ones I will consider legends. For Super Eagles. I will consider 1994 (nations cup and our first world cup) period our only golden-generation I am conscious of. And it even spilled over to several years after when we at least made bronze several times at the AFCON. The likes of Yekini, Okocha, Amokachi, Amuneke, Rufai etc comes to mind. Nwankwo Kanu had a very successful club career than Nigerian SENIOR career. Mickael2: |

soetanoreoluwa: these are the go to guys. As in when you sub them the team falls. When they leave a team the hole will be well felt as in you see the team searching for a new player of their mould, say new Terry or New Drogba or new Lampard or new Makele(which is what Mikel was called back then). Players that won games singlehandedly(not just one game) they don't really need to score or even assist |
Re: "The Super Eagles Thread: The Road To AFCON 2023, 2025 And 2026 World Cup by Mickael2(m): 9:58pm On Sep 30, 2017 |
Joebie: wasn't Kanu part of the team from 96 till 2010? I can remember we made the semis in all but one Afcon he participated and he scored some vital goals and earned some vital penalties and assists as well. Chelsea's golden era can also be the year they won their first Epl or when they won it under Mou back then or when Ancelotti was destroying teams enroute to a double etc etc |

To all Mikel hater club!!. I just wanna let you know that your opinions ain't matter. Go to Chelsea fc, go to Africa, everybody kip saying john Mikel obi is a legend. You can sit behind your phone and type hateful statement, you can believe whatever you wanna believe but it ain't phase Mikel. Chelsea gave him the legend status and if it make you sad or angry, you need to go for deliverance from the spirit of witchcraft cos envy is witchcraft trait. I know of someone who seriously need it. 6 Likes |

Mickael2: No! Still have alot to do... And also he's not part of the set up of this current SE.. He should keep working hard and give us reason to call me up... Qatar 2022 inview.. If he performes very well 2019 might be his year... You know how underage thing things works out... Any other player can just show up anytime... For now... He should face his club side and work harder |

well, i'm going to have to revise my definition lol.. I had to go look at the dictionary. This looks the most appropriate definition: An extremely famous or notorious person, especially in a particular field. Sentences: ‘the man was a living legend’ ‘a screen legend’ So we are talking about a player that is extremely famous in a team. Or should I say extremely famous because of his exploits in that team? Well I must say Mikel is Super Eagles legend considering the 2013 era till date. Kanu also was. But club performances also rub off on these players. And that can boost their legendary status.

elyte89: Mikel will not get nominated because he did not play a flamboyant role. It is that simple. Even the board of Real Madrid thought Makelele was useless until they sold him and Zidane criticised the decision. Most times, awards and accolades go to the flamboyant role players. |
Re: "The Super Eagles Thread: The Road To AFCON 2023, 2025 And 2026 World Cup by soetanoreoluwa(m): 10:07pm On Sep 30, 2017 |
neighy: That Is just his style of play... That's what we known him for since we heard of Mikel... 2003...u17.. Every player have there style of play... Like barbatov... Kind slow but the way he hold play and score goals is fantastic... If that's what you don't like... Then there is nothing you cant do about it... Remember he can hold up ball for a very long time and takes two to three players to take it away from him... |

Joebie: In the DMF role of Chelsea during their glorious reign, Mikel ruled that Kingdom. Just that people overlook and under rate the importance of the role. Ask Zidane. |
