Baba Mikel no b LEGEND,forget dt one,


If we were to pick legends among d SE set up since 2008-uptill date, we av just two or three players based on deir consistency,effort pulled towards d team success, we av ENYEAMA AND YOBO...dis re d only two Nigeria legends we av

You have nothing to say to go against the points I have made.

Regular and key player during Chelsea's English trophy reign. Check.
Key player in Chelsea's FA Cup win against Manchester United. Check.
Key player In Chelsea's Champions League triumph. Brilliant performances in the Semi-finals and Finals. Big candidate for man of the match in those games. Check.
Crossed over to Africa with repeated Man of the match performances in the AFCON that led Nigeria to a historic win. Check.

Please if this man is not a Legend, who is?
Mikel is a Legend and we are blessed to have a player like him.

he did spend some seasons on the bench now didn't he? If longitivity is all that is needed then.... Is Carrick a united legend?
Carrick won't go down as a man united legend?? Can you talk about Chelsea's ucl win without mentioning Mikel's performance in the Semi and final?

Carrick is a Manchester United legend. That one is not even up for debate. Not a football Legend but close Because of his Champions League exploits, especially his 2009 performances.

If he had something close to a similar performance with his National side, he would have been a footie legend.

Mickael2:



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

Mikel had almost 400 appearances for Chelsea... He was more or less a regular for most seasons. Comparing that to Sturridge is utterly ridiculous.

Ray parlor is an Arsenal Legend but there were better players than him in that Arsenal team. He is legend because he was an important player in one of the most successful periods for Arsenal.

Malouda, Ferreira and Kalou are Chelsea legends to varying degrees.

Nope... Is not about my view... Most times we might not be in thesame page.. . That make us human..

All am saying he's that even though you don't like his style of play or you don't like him as a person that doesn't mean you bring him down with your words


We have seen some players trying to mould their style of play like that of Mikel..

And he a a role model to alots of players


All I am asking from you guys is RESPECT... He deserve your respect that's all...

Like me there are some players I don't like... You won't hear me talk them down... I wont even mention them at all... That why you see some coaches will never talk about some players not to talk of playing them or invite them...

About the bold part... Lemme ask what are things you don't like about Mikel... ?

And what's the meaning of legend or what can a player do to become a legend...?

Please enlighten me...

oga when I think of that word legend, I think of a long span of time. e.g our lifetime. Not a period of time.
It's either Yobo is a SE Legend or he is not. Likewise Enyeama. Please don't use a short-term category.

Which is why Mikel can be considered a legend. The time he spent in Chelsea and the trophies he won with the team, while playing of course.
Chelsea don talk am.. o pari

Modified
You want to think of the period of success of the country, team etc as a context

most people misunderstand this legendary thing, shevchenko is a bigger player compare to Mikel in the wider picture, but he Shevy is not a Chelsea legend. A player that gave more than 10yrs to a club, help the club to win every single trophy and someone will still argue. Go argue with Chelsea board members that called him a Chelsea legend, a club in England called a player their legend and someone down here in Nigeria wants to question the club, that's the height.....

I liked your comment because it exposes the entire problem we are having now.


Simple Mikel deserves maximum respect, he was a great Chelsea player but he was not a Chelsea legend, he is a SE legend for sure but very far from a legend at Chelsea. For top clubs your exploits in a season(granted a Champions league winning season) does not elevate your status to a legend, it makes you a great player for sure

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.


Well, if we qualify, there is time to do the allegiance switch.

Consider the history of Chelsea, their best moments. Was Mikel involved?

I won't consider Mikel an SE legend though. I want to think of the period of SE successes (our golden era) and those who propelled it. Now that's legendary.

he appears in just two or three. Can you compare Mikel's achievements to any of Lampard or Drogba?


We did win the Afcon with Mikel holding our midfield, the U20 too(not SE but still) plus Olympics(granted he messed up at the world cup) but he was also great at the Confed cup so SE legend? Absolutely

Oh yes no doubt. But if you look at our team very well. Let's be realistic, you will see a lot of these players in their very early 20s. We shouldn't expect TOO much from them in Russia. But I like where we are heading with Qatar in view.

What you have here are two occasions in a short period of time (within a year?).
The striketroughs do not count. We are talking Super Eagles Legend. Or maybe you want to discus Nigerian-Footballer legend (?)

I wouldn't even put Kanu Nwankwo in the class of SuperEagles Legends for the same reason I've stated earlier.
Nigerian-Football legend? Hell yes!!!
