Rumour has it. Abra going to land a CDM this January as they have offered Barca for busquets and Roma for DDR. Wishful thinking yes! as both of these players are crucial to their clubs and tbh you guys need some octopus kinda mid like Busi or Iron-man like DDR as Obi is a liability when you play likes of Rami-Mata-Hazard-Oscar.Couldn't agree more, i am just surprised this guy is getting picked so regularly for the first team, not only by RDM but by previous managers as well. The bad thing is that he doesn't even get injured :S
Essien was great in that position but too bad he regularly got injured at his time with chelsea. I hope somehow RDM change his mind and pick romeu instead of him or just give that role to ramires.
Mikel's role is to sit infront of the back four and defend when they are out of position, he usually gives the ball away and then can't even get back to take it back. He just doesn't have the pace to do so.
He is just a ticking time bomb, A mistake to happen any minute remember Juve? and Shaktar.
Ideally, there was only good DM available for sale snapped by bayern and that's Javi Martinez (who doesn't even start for Spain but still costs 52M with taxes) now there is no one who can swiftly take this position at Chelsea afaik.

Why not let Cole go to PSG and buy the young Bale. Abra-troll :lol:I recently read somewhere that he (Mikel) has been offered a 5 five year contract
On the other side cole and lampard were offered 1 year contract which they didn't agree to, i can understand the situation with lampard (as there are other players who can play in his role the likes of Oscar, hazard etc) but seriously cole? I mean c'mon we don't have his replacement plus he's been consistent through out why not offer him a longer contract :S
