Rooney retired at 35 when he couldn’t run past a player anymore. But you don’t see English people doubting his age. However, people like Mikel and Martins who are still playing professionally at 34 and 37 respectively are the age cheats. It’s Nigeria like you who see fraud as a way of life that tend to think everyone must cheat before making it in life.

From trabzonspor to this now. Why is Michael contracts keep getting terminated? I think he should retire now when the ovation is still loud

The ovation is already over.

wunmi590:


The earlier he quit the game the earlier the better before he fall on the pitch, he has made enough money already.....


Not all players can be like Ronaldo, who still play as if he's in his prime....

Mikel is older than Ronaldo. If u know, u know

End of an era

Eggzakly. Meanwhile, Mesi who came into a limelight during same Holland tournament with him is still balling and relevant. Wetin dey do African footballer sef?

kollinz1234:
This is why is not good to lie about your age. Someone is 43 and claiming 34, now to play like someone at 34 na wahala. Imagine senior man with UCL trophy like Mikel is having his contract terminated by a useless club in Kuwait. Why won't he go to the US to play American league with his age mates?






But what do I even know

Mikel actual Age is 36 years, Baba was born in 1985.

I knew him before limelight, he's my cousin's classmate then.

lequama10:
and how did mourinho wrecked him, please explain..

He was known and shone as a central midfielder before mouriho changed his position at Chelsea to Defensive midfielder

The guy reached the end of his athletic shelf life long ago. He can squeeze two more years. After that he better think up what to do for the rest of his life.

Gibsonworld05:
It is time Mikel retire as a footballer and take over from Rohr.

He has a partner with luxury tastes who does nothing for a living to take care of. All Olga does is post workout pictures and vacationing with Mikel, and she has no business.

She doesn't even live in Kuwait with Mikel or when he moved to Turkey. And she took his kids when he was in Turkey forcing him to return to England.

Which ovation is still loud? After winning all that it is in football lmao.

He can't do more than his capacity and real age demands, lots of us have baby face with lush black hair without a strand of grey

Why are people making various assertions when the reasons for the cancellation of the contract was not given by the club?

femi4:

True Talk bro

just 34

He has paid his dues.He should retire and venture into another business

Nature is real......what has a BEGINNING has an END.

So was Mikel. He won a golden boot at the same Holland junior tournament. Golden Boot no be for dash. I clubs fighting over him then. Suddenly he began depreciating

You guys with mouth like tap water! Someone who was second best to MESSI at the U17 WC.

Won the premier league, won the champions league. Even Okocha didn’t achieve these feat. Mikel is one of the greatest players Nigeria has ever produced!!


Nonsense

chiedu7:


he was good, mourinho wrecked him

I beg to differ, he should thank his longevity to Mourinho.

After leaving Chelsea, he never excelled anywhere, not even in China.

He made a career out of the conservative role Mourinho gave him.

I never rated him though cos he was just a squad player at Chelsea.

zabaletta of man city than play that tornerment which he was d captain of d team but no where to be found playing,even Babel of Liverpool than!

HeadNigga:
Baba should retire already. You can't be 43 and still be running around the field with boys of 18 to 24

Bitter truth

yinkus6750:

haaa... this your statement outrageous and not true

Make the guy just come back to Eyinmba F.C

yinkus6750:

He is a very big talent if not he would not have had such a big Successful career!!! there is an end to everything so his football career has just come to the end.
