damn 
such a shame.
he was such a beast. one of the very best players in the world at one point in my eyes.
but injuries really are taking him down..

his age is catching up, at his prime he was unstoppable He played more matches for lyon in his last 3 years then any other player did in ligue 1
he then played 145 odd matches in 3 seasons with chelsea, that was when, like nj said, he was one of the best player in the world.
but since then its all downhill, he is NOT 28 lol, probably 30 or older. I really hope he can come back stronger but injuries are really affecting his form. like last season for example

He's a poor mans Ramires these days anyway.
Call me a c**t but hopefully this means more time for McEachran this season.
Oh and stop being a twitter whore Sepi.

I honestly doubt we're going to completely stop our physical play because of AVB's arrival. Why abandon a tactic that worked so well in the past?

in my opinion if you bring one of fernando, moussa sissoko or lass diarra, you're back in business. but you still need creativity there..modric or sneijder would solve it.

Ramires and Mikel are comfortably better than all three of those players.

I seriously doubt that, i think this means we will be looking to sign more midfielders.

Diarra wasn't/isn't good enough for CFC.

Oh please. He just wasn't good enough to take over Essien's spot and you don't need two destroyer mids. He is more than good enough for Chelsea since they run the 4-3-3. He isn't a great choice in a 4-2-3-1.

Why did you edit your post? Do you not believe now that we need to forget about him?

The surgery was successful and Michael's full recovery could take up to six months.
Chelsea's website.
I wonder what the future holds for him. If he can't play in 2011, he won't regain top form during next season and he isn't getting any younger. Chelsea fans better start hoping that Mikel has a sublime season coming up...

6 months? What the hell? This guy was a complete tank back in the day.
I guess those "he's 35" rumors are true
