Nigeria didn't qualify for the next AFCoN, so thats a non-starter.

He will however miss the beginning of the season, as he's off to Rio.

1 out of 2 ain't bad but both would of been brilliant

ok with him staying as a backup to Kante and Matic.

That said if we can flog him off for 10-15m to the chinese that would be great as well.

Chinese transfer window is closed.

Stealing a living. I can't believe he's been here for 10 years. Absolutely robbed a living off us. Terrible, terrible, awful player that needs shipping to the other side of the planet where he can sideways pass himself and lose possession into oblivion.

I wonder who this could be...

I heart Mikel

If ever there was an example of an exaggeration...

Give Mikel a break......

Yes, a leg break.

Yes, a leg break.

Clearly a WUM.

Absolute disgrace you would wish injury on any of our players if you are indeed a Chelsea 'supporter'.

Edit: in fact even if you're not, wishing injury on any player is shocking, I don't care how much you dislike them.

You f**king prick.

I have a feeling we're gonna see a return of asinine threads linking us to sh*t centre-forwards...

Yes, a leg break.

I can fathom why a human being would even say such a thing. It's just disgusting.

Mods? Bud nipping? Disgusting inciting injury.

Well that was quick!

Well that was quick!

Good riddance to the knob.

Also Conte mentioned Mikel while discussing Kante & Matic in the CM, we can read in to that how we like, but I'd assume that means he's staying.

Although I appreciate he wouldn't come out and say we're selling even if we are looking to move players on.

An absolute fool if there is one. Stealing a living off us for 10 yrs......? Like he offers himself these contracts. Every fool that reasons like you makes me laugh because in over 10 years with what 7 managers or so he hasn't been binned. If only you were the manager huh? Well I guess you don't understand what people mean when they say a player that plays according to instructions is a manager's dream. Too bad only him takes the flak for those instructions from his manager from those that are supposed to support him like the fans. Me inclusive sometimes. But let's still have the decency to show respect for the 2nd longest serving player we have left after Terry.

He has served us well, and been a part of our best years. But his time is up. Similar to Branna. They have done a job but we really need to move forward.

I still think Ivanovic can do a job, just not as an automatic starter at RB.

Jesus, let's at least wait until he breaks Frank's record before we even consider the notion of his departure.

Usually agree with you man but I reckon Ivan is done, his legs look shot, he gets beat far too easily for me.

Maybe if he was moved back in to CB in a 3 he'd get more protection but then I don't think we could afford him and Terry in a 3, that would be a seriously slow back line.

Although saying that (and I know we're not the same team) Chiellini & Bonucci aren't exactly fast either and it works for Juve.

MIKEL HAS SCORED A GOAL. THIS IS NOT A DRILL.
