Trust me. I've looked that direction earlier. But then he has to agree first. That's a process. Then we have to wait for the FIFA side of the process.
Of course, that's a good plan just like I've been canvassing for Torunarigha. But the discussion has been as regards the moment. It doesn't seem like we have immediate good alternatives.

I want to be honest, I fancy our chances in Qatar more -- as regards having a good bench.

no offence but does this make sense to you?


Bale has been a regular for the first madrid team to win back-to-back Champions league trophies and the only team to win 3 champions league trophies in 4 years, how is that not the most succesful period in Madrid's history(bar the 1950 period)?

All this one you are trying to do does not change the fact that Mikel is a Legend. Not a Chelsea Legend or Nigerian Legend. A football Legend.

Mikel reigned steady in a Successful trophy filled Chelsea. From the league titles, to FA Cups. After that he was a big part of a successful Chelsea side, posting brilliant performances in the Semi-finals and Champions League final. Most noted for his brilliant performance in the final.

After that he came back and was an inspirational figure for Nigeria in our AFCON triumph, being a star against some of the best players in the Continent.

If that is not Legendary, what is.

sure... Not debatable.. Same thing with ramires, mata... N dey r all chelsea legends
Mikel has longevity over Ramires and Mata. Tbaba gave the Ray Parlour and Thierry Henry example. You're making it look like Mikel was Wes Brown or something. Sure he wasn't world class, but he was a very good player for chelsea. Some of you guys downplay his achievements because he didn't fulfill the world class potential he showed as a youth player. Dude still managed to fashion out a good career for himself.

I mean bigger legends

Players like Ramires, Oscar and Mata will be remembered in the great tales of Chelsea but did not last as long as Mikel helping the team Rake titles. Mikel’s role as a holding midfielder is underrated but was key to their trophy haul.

Leave the dribbling, Mikel is a Legend. May not have a flamboyant history because of his role but his impact is legendary.

Real Madrid has about 11 champions league, won 5 champions cup trophies back to back. Won champions league 3 time in 5 years in the late 1990s and early 2000. And are on a golden patch again.

In that period, they have several legends. Bale has plenty people before you call him

On the contrary, Mikel was an integral part of Chelsea's only Champions League Trophy and was man of the match contender in the semi final and final.

I have given you why Mikel is a football Legend. It is not only Chelsea but also crossed over to make a remarkable feat by doing it in the AFCON with man of the match performances. You can not change fact. He is a legend.

My man i don't argue to win but to learn and share ideas.Mind u have been in this game since 1980 so it always take a wise ones to understand my points or views

The word legend may connote different meaning to two of us but from my own point of view when some one achieve what nobody has ever achieve,i always a refer to such fellow as a special being and i can term him a legend and to me Di Matteo is a legendary coach Chelsea w never forget,to u he may mean nothing,that's your view which i must respect.

I don't think u read my post very well.

I said Emenalo left Eagles in 1986 and made US 94 squad at d last minute,good period of 8 years.

During this period we have coaches like Chris Udemezie,Paul Halmiton,Manfred Horner,this are d ones i remember.

Pls am not agitating for Taiwo Taiye but just to buttress my point on Efe Ambrose.

so because of one champions league trophy he is now a legend? You made it sound as if he was a constant regular at Chelsea, I mean some seasons he was warming the bench totally and getting sub appearances when the game is already done and dusted.

Sturridge is not a liverpool legend although he was an integral part of the liverpool team that went so close to winning the Epl after almost 20 years, that doesn't mean he won't be remembered as a great liverpool player.


Now back to the context, this is Chelsea we are talking about not Leicester. Ok is Anelka is a chelsea legend? I believe he was an integral part of the 2007 champions league run, same goes for Ferreira(?), Kalou and Malouda(all these guys also won Epl titles and FA cups with them
