honestly £20m on mikel, a player with no qualities whatsoever. Biggest flop ever in our history.
===============================
Where do you get 20M from for Mikel?
And we sued and got a good lot back

'Hard to accept but it´s the truth. For that reason if someone is offering us 18 million + for Essien we have to take it.'
Essien is worth double that. This season he was still better than Lampard and Mikel. A player of his class will easily come close to the unbelievably high standards he set before, regardless of his injuries. Best midfielder in our squad, was better than Frank at his best, and he is also best at what he does in the world.
'With Ramires we have the ready-made Essien replacement.'
Ramires is young with promise, But he is still a class below Essien's standard, even when at his best, and lacks the consistency in his performances.
Is he a player who deserves opportunities? Yes. Could he be a jey player in say, two years time? Yes. But is he ready to take up a first team place week in week out, ahead of a player like Essien? NEVER IN A THOUSAND YEARS! For now he should stay as a first teamer, and probably back up to Lamps, Ess and hopefully Sneijder.
