I
have carefully followed the transfer mills as the names of Mikel Obi and Victor
Moses get nearly daily mention. I have also carefully listened to debates on
whether the Nigerians should continue to stay at the Stamford Bridge or move
on.
Those
who want them to stay believe they are good enough to fight for places in the
London club while others say they will be bench warmers all through the season
if they choose to remain with Chelsea. Whichever way, the battle is surely
strong.
If
I were Mikel I would rather stay in Chelsea and fight for a spot rather than go
to Turkey. As far as I know the competition in the English League is still far
above that of Turkey no matter what people say about Fenerbahce or Galatasaray.
If Jose Mourinho fought to get Mikel ahead of Manchester United during his
first reign, I am not sure that he would easily have forgotten about his belief
in the lad so quickly. England is where the money and prestige lie
comparatively.
For
Moses, the Liverpool angle is a good deal if he must leave Chelsea. The
potential to do well is still there even though the Reds have not won anything
for quite some time now. If we say our players are good enough to be African
Footballers of The Year, then we should encourage them to fight for their
places.
So
if it’s Liverpool for Moses, it’s okay with me; Mikel must not settle for less.
His display at the FIFA Confederations Cup has proven he can do much more than
we are getting from him.
