Even before reading those comments I already knew those that will be for and against Mikel. Reminds me of the days of Kanu Nwankwo as a player. No matter what he did some people still never rated him highly. Finally October is here, our month of World cup qualification. Happy new month all. 4 Likes |

Mickael2: I didn't see this yesterday, waking up to see it dx morning meeehn I SMH. who are Chelsea that Mike won't make their Top 50 players, u r the one that would probably do that compilation if Mikel wouldn't mk it. before Abrahamovic era Chelsea were just a normal club the seldom won titles n cup, how many legends do they v during the 1900s till 2000 b4 the take over, how many do they v after take over , Mikel should top 20 of any sane Chelsea legends list, the top 5 of that list would be Terry, Lamps, Drogba, Cech, Di matteo, etc etc if I ask u to continue till 20 I'm sure u would be lost before u get to 15. even Arsenal who had a long history and lots of players still see Kanu as a legend, if Kanu is an Arsenal legend my good brother Mikel is a Chelsea legend. 7 Likes |

Let's not pretend like we don't know why most people don't see Mikel as a Chelsea legend. I am not saying they are right or wrong but some perspective will do everyone alot of good. For me, it was pitiful to watch a highly talented player like Mikel reduced to a role of a water carrier. He played with a lot of handbrakes, couldn't venture forward to express himself, he basically lumbered around in his own half,marking out players and providing an extra man for his team to pass the ball to and retain possession. Look, let's be honest, this role is reserved for technically limited players like Roy Keane, Didier Deschamps and Dickson Etuhu. Mikel was too good a player to be reduced to a lumbering quater back. If he had played the sort of role he played for Chelsea at the U20 world cup, nobody would have listed him as the better players of the tournament. Why wasn't Sani Keita rated next to Messi in 2005? We can pretend like we don't know these, I see alot of people on this thread prefer quasi truths. Mikel at Chelsea became an object of mockery when he scored a one off goal off a corner kick against PsG. The reaction to that goal should indicate what people expected of Mikel at Chelsea. Yes, he could be a Chelsea legend but he never fulfilled the potential his talent deserved at Chelsea. That is the gospel truth. 5 Likes 1 Share |

Wow, I missed out on the Mikel legend argument ![]() Anyway, as the VP of Mikel Avengers, I must drop my own points last last 7 REASONS WHY MIKEL IS A LEGEND 1. Mikel is a legend because there is NO way you will discuss Chelsea's UCL win without mentioning Mikel.... When they discuss who skinned a Barca player, who gave a vital pass, who made a vital tackle, Mikel will be mentioned. That is what makes one a legend 2. Mikel is a legend because Ndidi named him as his role model growing up....he didn't name JJ or Kanu, he named Mikel. Makings of a legend 3. Mikel is a legend because Leon Balogun mentioned him as one of his role models 4. Mikel is a legend because he was instrumental to players like Ola Aina playing for Nigeria 5. Mikel is a legend because he was the only top player that did not abandon the team during the Oliseh fracas that had Musa as captain 6. Mikel is a legend because with his maturity has come humility, which is why his SE team mates refer to him as ODOGWU and give him the utmost respect 7. Mikel is a legend because he has covered Nigeria and NFF's shame multiple times, he never complains of ill treatment, is it because him eye never see something for this team? No So, I take God beg people wey no like Mikel, we are not asking for your like, but please, RESPECT the man enough not to drag his name through mud and laugh at his achievements. 12 Likes |

Because one of the mods must have found out you had broken ANOTHER rule which is against creating alternative accounts.

goldfish80: It took me time to appreciate Mikel’s role at Chelsea. I was guest and disappointed that Mikel was reduced to a player playing in an unrated position. With time, I understood he was a key and important player playing that role. Just as people were ignorant to the importance of Makelele until players like Zidane, Hierro highlighted that he was the most important. It was not a flashy light role but a role that deserves praise. As long as the managers and players respected Mikel for his sacrifice of personal glory to give the team glory, he got all the respect for me. I finally was convinced, relieved and happy that the young player, John Mikel Obi who many predicted would become a great player really became great. Just like Makelele, the Tabloids may not ring his name but history will remember the great contribution of the Mikel. This is the real truth. |

I have one reservation for the current SE squad, does it mean we have no one who can take accurate FK? By now, we should have a 50% (accuracy) free kick taker. There was a time Emenike used to take for us, Taiye Taiwo, okocha, oboabona, osaze but of recent, we haven't scored a free kick. Shouldn't our players be taught this or learn on their own? Countless times have clubs/countries been saved by FKs. It's a leverage just like PKs |

In those days if they don't pay for return tickets my sister na issue o,Big boss w tell any one who care to listen no show, Olishe w go extral mile insulting minister,no thanks to our corrupt football administrators anyway What hapoened in d last Olympics regards Dream team can any football administrators try it in d era of Keshi, Olishe even Okocha and Kanu but Mikel shoulder d responsibility and telling d boys do not worry play for your future. I don't know what some guys want from this guy,honestly sometimes am lost, some even pray for Nigeria downfall anytime they see this guy on field.Haba! A club said this guy is part of our history that cannot be erased but some say no citing irrelevant points like he has never be rated by FiFA,pls what has this got to do with club legend. Amokachie was in Liverpool recently to watch his former club Everton and he was given VIP treatment, showing him around Everton facilities and introduce him to all Everton players has one of d best forner Everton player coz they never forget his contributions during their prestigious FA Cup.If Amo taxi can be accorded this much respect and love,then Mikel is what?a mediocre? honestly people funny die. John Fashanu said for Mikel to be at Chelsea for over 10years winning 4 FA cup,2 EPL,a prestigious champions league not to count league cup or community shield, he is a true legend,Fash said he won just FA cup with Wimbledon but till today he is a Wimbledon legend coz d wimbledon see all players that won d FA cup as legends.So what is FiFA biz with a club legend. Icon4s has said it that there w also be an endless debate whether Mikel is a legend or not at Chelsea but it's simple d club proclamation should have settled this debate,d club said Mikel is a Chelsea legend,so why unnecessary arguments. It's like going for interview or exam and u are asked is Mikel a Chelsea legend and u said No meaning exam failed coz d examiner already have his answer as YES due to club affirmatives Safari we just need to ignore some arguments or debates coz they are baseless and uncalled for.This guy left Chelsea with a special bonus for being loyal and of recent Conte said d club missed Terry,Ivanovic,Mikel not for anything but their longevity in d club is a top notch which every player in d club must emulate. 6 Likes |
