Absolute f**king legend. It will be a sad, sad day when he leaves.

Rumour so today that he's agreed a move to Valencia this month. 

Apparently we should hear something regarding his future within the next week. 

Could be complicated with Prandelli resigning. They're supposedly looking at Zaza as well and won't have the FFP figures to register both.

set for medical to tianjin teda today according to mail and standard

so this is it..

Thanks for the memories John!

Yep, was a good servant and wish him all the best.

 

I hear PloKoon13 was recently seen near Beachy Head!!

 

 

I wonder if we'll get anything for him? Considering his contract isn't actually running out until the summer.

5£ million maybe?

He's on good pay though so good to free up some space for wages.

Agreed to let him go on a free apparently

Will be sad to see him go. There's only one Mikel John Obi. Obi Mikel John. John Obi Mikel.

Theres some serious money being freed up with these contracts.

 

The African Zidane, thanks for all the memories.

And to the majority of our rivals out there:

'He's won more than you, he's won more than youuu, John Obi Mikel, he's won more than you!'

Surely with Oscar and Mikel gone we're in a market for another midfielder. My bet is we're going after Franck Kessie (Atalanta). I have a feeling Conte wants Bakayoko but Monaco is still in the CL and the January deal is near impossible to pull off, so Kessie is probably an easier target.

Bye bye mikel :(

I cant bring myself to say BYE to him. This is his home. I know he isn't happy leaving but that's life.
And it's incredible how Conte never gave him a chance on the bench to say bye to the fans. Well, Conte always knows best.

I was never his biggest fan; found him frustrating the amount of times he came on to kill off games then we conceded, however he was a Chelsea player, a decent servant to the club and got my support as best I could.

I wish him all the very best for the remainder of his career.

Free? This is madness. Surely China can pay at least £10m...

I reckon he's the longest serving player right now apart from JT, good player regardless what critics think of him. He's been involved in all the success in the past decade, wish him all the best and respect!

His performance in Munich will live forever.

may the force be with him

 

Mikel is like a five pound note. Doing the dirty work, keeping it all going while the other's get driven around in armoured vehicles getting all the attention.

Wish you all the best Sir Obi, we will never forget the day you snubbed United for us ;)

he'll broke peace between us and china and save the world from nuclear apocalypse

good night sweet prince

A fantastic servant to the club. Did his job when called upon, never moaned, just got on with it. And put in a monster performance in the CL final. 

You wont be missed, mr side-ways passer but you have my respect. 

f**king legend

He wasn't a brilliant servant to the club but it was clear his time at the club was up. Thanks Mikel we have some amazing memories of our time with you, best of luck in China.
