Tell you what, Mikel would've been a good signing in 2015.
At 33 though I have my reservations.

and its the been there done that players again played at top level not arsed about stoke or furthering there career,i might be in a minority but i would take sam morsy over him

This is where good judgement, good fact finding comes in. If he's past it don't sign him, same with any player. Lots of examples of 33 year olds being good players over the years there are always exceptions. Quite happy to have a team of them providing 1: they aren't past it 2: they are any good. Re Mikel specifically, what did the Boro fans think if him? |

Re Mikel specifically, what did the Boro fans think if him?Sounds like he started very well for them although they had a poor run towards the end of that season and missed out on the play-offs. I remember Boro fans saying that Pulis had weighted them too heavily with defensive midfielders (no surprise there!) |

Re Mikel specifically, what did the Boro fans think if him? Yeh suppose so could maybe be ok for a season but still id rather somebodys thats good for a few seasons and i believe most 33 yr olds are on the way out i cant think of many examples especially in this division theres probably the odd few,a team of 33 yr olds would get run ragged got have legs at all levels of football hes is/was a good player an looked okay at boro and could maybe do a good job id just rather we stay away from aged and been there an done it players would he just be here to pick up a wage ? we shold be signing players that have got a point to prove have not played at top level and want further there career to play at the top level wether its with stoke or another club

For me it would all depend on the contract a year on a pay per play deal would be ideal. If he can still keep going then he would be great for a short period. He is a class footballer, the defensive midfielder destroyer we have wanted for many years.
