This is going to be controversial but so what. Mikel gets a lot of stick on here yet the pro's ( Nevin, Cundy etc ), really rate him. I think he has been outstanding since Guus ( who also rates him, pattern developing here ), has given him confidence. The Guy has the lot, strength, technical ability, awareness, fantastic passer, short and long. The list goes on. He was a 10 ( attacking midfielder), before Jose converted him. A lot gets said about who we need as a defensive midfielder but we have one. Not only that but he also captains Nigeria now. My point is. make him captain for next season. Told you it was controversial but think about it.

Mikel won't resist money from China, so does Chelsea.

Mikel is a good player in a system that features a midfield 3 with both of the other midfielders putting in a lot of running. In any other midfield (a midfield like ours), he is average at best. While he may be disciplined and good in the air, he isn't mobile at all and his passing is comprised of mostly negative and safe passes. He certainly isn't our biggest issue but he also isn't of a high enough quality to justify being our first team holding mid.
