maybe true, thanks to Mourinho, made Mikel a bonifide sideways passer, Pogba was having none of it!EMIR KONGI JAFFI JOFFA wrote:Abeg go siddon on top Suya pit.

I have always wondered what he would have been, or become had he gone to ManU, instead of Chelseamarko wrote:be a wise man, do not listen to what Mourinho has to say, especially if you are a skillful player, Mikel was an attacking midfield player but used as a defensive midfielder at Chelsea, Mourinho did not see him as an ideal attacking midfielder, same as he tried to change Pogba into, since Mourinho philosophy is about defence and maintaining your position
dont i wish Mikel played for united instead under Sir Alex, hmmm
dot really know but knowing Sir Alex, he would have made Mikel the number 10, no way Mikel will be made to defend like he did for Chelsea, well he won things at Chelsea so had a good career there anyway but i believe Sir Alex would have made Mikel a beast of a player and probably will be still in the set upOdas wrote:I have always wondered what he would been or become had he gone to ManU, instead of Chelseamarko wrote:be a wise man, do not listen to what Mourinho has to say, especially if you are a skillful player, Mikel was an attacking midfield player but used as a defensive midfielder at Chelsea, Mourinho did not see him as an ideal attacking midfielder, same as he tried to change Pogba into, since Mourinho philosophy is about defence and maintaining your position

Nah, difference is Pogba has played AM at a high level before so we know he's capable and was being neutered by Mourinho, but I don't understand why we keep thinking Mikel was/is capable of playing AM at any high level, we've seen him attempt at NT level and once the quality level is upped he can't hang just like in the WC he had to be moved back to DM position and you can't blame Mourinho for that. His biggest achievements with the NT have been with him playing deeper, dude is just not an AM regardless of Mourinho...achuzia-the-air-raid wrote:marko wrote:maybe true, thanks to Mourinho, made Mikel a bonifide sideways passer, Pogba was having none of it!EMIR KONGI JAFFI JOFFA wrote:Abeg go siddon on top Suya pit.

How much can he raise the profile by?Its a Goal wrote:He should return to Nigeria and help out a local football team thereby give the league a high profile.
At the under 21s world cup, he played a more attacking midfield role, when he got to chelsea, Mourinho had over plans for him, tried to turn him to a box-to-box midfielder, same as he tried with Pogba, well Mikel won the champions league with Di Matteo so he had more than a decent career at Chelsea! 10 yearsmaceo4 wrote:Nah, difference is Pogba has played AM at a high level before so we know he's capable and was being neutered by Mourinho, but I don't understand why we keep thinking Mikel was/is capable of playing AM at any high level, we've seen him attempt at NT level and once the quality level is upped he can't hang just like in the WC he had to be moved back to DM position and you can't blame Mourinho for that.

U-20's is not senior level though and he didn't play AM, he played CM with Kaita more defensive in Siasia's 4-2-4. Even in the useless Chinese League he had been playing DM and Defense.marko wrote:At the under 21s world cup, he played a more attacking midfield role, when he got to chelsea, Mourinho had over plans for him, tried to turn him to a box-to-box midfielder, same as he tried with Pogba, well Mikel won the champions league with Di Matteo so he had more than a decent career at Chelsea! 10 yearsmaceo4 wrote:Nah, difference is Pogba has played AM at a high level before so we know he's capable and was being neutered by Mourinho, but I don't understand why we keep thinking Mikel was/is capable of playing AM at any high level, we've seen him attempt at NT level and once the quality level is upped he can't hang just like in the WC he had to be moved back to DM position and you can't blame Mourinho for that.

What makes you think Nigeria football wants help? Some if not most of our people will frustrate you almost to the grave trying to help them. How about his family - should he take them along or keep leaving them behind?Its a Goal wrote:He should return to Nigeria and help out a local football team thereby give the league a high profile.
you want to give those kidnappers a field day right? Nigeeia does not have the type of money the likes of Mikel will commandpajimoh wrote:What makes you think Nigeria football wants help?
