Franco German coach who recently went to Chelsea to speak with the team’s hierarchy over Mikel’s situation defended his captain.” Information like this is undisputable since it is coming from the Super Eagles's technical adviser who went to confirm it at Chelsea himself. Now we see why players feign injuries and lie in order to be omitted from national call ups just to satisfy their managers in order to secure their playing career in the respective clubs. But the problem in Mikel's case is that the Nigerians that he sacrificed his Chelsea's career for are the ones traducing and lambasting him. Mikel is totally fit for Conte's plans and philosophy, even Conte confessed that Mikel keeps impressing him in trainings. Until I see Matic and Kante's combination win the Champions league like Mikel did for Chelsea, I will always rate Mikel above them. 243 Likes 9 Shares |

eshietIntrepid:Mikel has gone through a lot at Chelsea, I think it is time for him to move on by making optimal use of the next transfer window. This is one of the reasons why I ceased from supporting foreign Football Clubs. 23 Likes 1 Share |

blueto: That's not true Here's an article from DailyMail addressing Mikel's ailing career : And an excerpt from the article : "But then came the Olympics. Mikel was called to captain Nigeria in Brazil and led his country to bronze. He had Conte’s blessing." There were no reports of any dissension that led to falling down the pecking order under Antonio Conte because of Mikel's participation in the Olympics . The truth is that Mikel's lethargic style of play does not suit Conte's frenetic style of play in his new 3-4-3 system at Chelsea - where ebullient players like Matic , Kante , Alonso , Moses are the reason the system works in Chelsea . Their work rates are high , their tacking is good and they are completely focused through out the game - Mikel lacks these qualities currently . Mikel can play in a system were play is done sedately , maintaining possession and moderate/low frequency attacks from defensive midfield against the opponents . That's why he flourished under Ancelotti and Guus Hiddink. Mikel can offer that depth in Chelsea squad , you know in case anyone get's injured . But reports say he might move in January though the stalwart is actually not unsettled as those reports suggested . 14 Likes 1 Share

KingEbukaNaija:Have you ever wondered why the Mikel who was praised and ‘needed’ by Conte to ‘win game’ suddenly became unfit for Conte's plan? If you want to win a team needs this type of player – Kante, Matic and Mikel – that work hard forthe team.” – contehttp://www.completesportsnigeria.com/conte-chelsea-need-players-like-mikel/ Do you think Conte would have openly confronted Mikel and hamper him from leaving for the Olympics? Conte showed signs that he never wanted mikel to leave but mikel was so desperate and therefore shunned Conte's wishes. 17 Likes |

blueto: Speak like a football pundit and not like a Nigerian...no coach dares to change a winning team...combining a left footed and right footed holding midfield pair is every managers dream...did fabregas play in the olympics?? If Mikel dont get playing time, he should get another club , January is about less than 2months away... Conte himself is under pressure to perform after a disastrous campaign last term by Chelsea 16 Likes |

i love his new passion for green/white jersey but we should know that olympics is not a fifa organized competition & it will take diplomacy from a player to convince his club to be part of it, so the fault is not entirely conte's. Neymar had an understanding with Barca,infact he refused to play the continental tournament just to compete in Rio. Mikel please Bilic needs another player to complement payet,there is no better revenge than to play for their city rivals 6 Likes |

blueto: Its not right to assume . If there was any form of confrontation at all , then Mikel would have shown signs of discontentment especially on social media . But he understands the situation and keeps talking about working hard in training in order to get himself back into the team after he got back from the Olympics . Remember , the season has already kicked off at the time he was playing at the Olympics . You don't expect him to walk into the first team just like that . Conte is running a meritocratic system - apparently with players like Moses , Alonso earning their place in the team . Willian went on compassionate leave because of the demise of his mum and Pedro took his place and 2 games later Pedro is still playing while Willian is now benched even after his return . Its all about working to earn your place in the first team - and evidently Mikel understands this . And Conte was referring to Kante's buy by Chelsea for 30 million . He was describing Kante not Mikel . The dubious site added Mikel in between to sell their story . Excerpt : “I want to say Kante was a target and for this reason I’m very happy the club bought the player,” Conte told the Chelsea website after the 2-0 pre-season defeat at Rapid Vienna. He’s a good player. "This type of player evidently " talking about Kante , not this type of players . And Mikel was withdrawn after 58 minutes during Conte's first game which ended in a 2-0 defeat . See ? Why praise a player you withdrew while you were losing and tell him he is needed to win a game whereas you lost It does not add up ! 15 Likes 2 Shares |

KingEbukaNaija:It is not an assumption, but a fact! you are the one relying on assumptions by using a mere and flimzy editorial article to repudiate the verified statements of the super eagles technical adviser. Mikel did show signs of “discontentment” before departing Chelsea for Olympics. Here are the words of Mikel insinuating that it displeased conte and the rest of Chelsea's management staffs when he insisted on going for the Olympics “It is difficult to leave Chelsea at this time,” Mikel told the Evening Standard. “But I explained to the club why I wanted to go and I thank them for their understanding and allowing me to be apart of this.”What can you deduce from that statement and what do you think prompted Mikel to make such statement? But he understands the situation and keeps talking about working hard in training in order to get himself back into the team after he got back from the Olympics . Remember , the season has already kicked off at the time he was playing at the Olympics . You don't expect him to walk into the first team just like that .Enough of these deceptive notions. If Conte can't afford playing Mikel because of ‘exploits’ Matic And kante, then why not feature as a second half substitute? why not feature him in less competitive games in Carling cup like he features Chalobah and other ‘up coming stars’? Fabregas was playing before he got injured, even Willian featured for Chelsea after his departure and return, but Mikel has not featured even once! You mean even Chelsea FC official website was also “dubious”? He’s a good player. He has good technique, fantastic stamina and I like this type of player. If you want to win a team needs this type of player –Kante, Matic and Mikel– that work hard for the team.http://www.chelseafc.com/news/latest-news/2016/07/conte--learning-and-improving.html Please stop! it is not funny. 17 Likes |

Somebody is being paid for sitting on the bench, and you call that punishment? I like that type of punishment. Who can give me that type of punishment? I need it right now. On a serious note, there is time for everything. Must he play for Chelsea till he retires? January transfer is closer, he can move to China and make enough cash for retirement. 16 Likes |
