Mikel Obi warns Chelsea not to sign £500,000-per-week star, reveals solid reasons.

 Mikel Obi has warned Chelsea not to sign the highly-rated maestro, Cristiano Ronaldo. 

It's no longer news that Cristiano Ronaldo is currently without a club after falling out with the Old Trafford hierarchy following a controversial interview with Piers Morgan. The former Real Madrid star had in his interview, axed Manchester United, the coach and the club's standards. 

Chelsea are among the many clubs lined up to acquire his signature but Blues Legend, Mikel Obi has warned the club's board not to try such:

I’ve never been a Ronaldo fan really,’ Obi Mikel told Dubai Eye. ‘For me, when a player has so much ego, I don’t really get it.

‘He’s never been one of my favourite players and that’s why I always go for [Lionel] Messi really.

‘I mean, if someone comes out and gives such an interview, what makes you think, if he signs for your club in January, he won’t do the same?

‘So, I mean, every club is going to be aware of that… but listen, he is Cristiano Ronaldo; he’s one of the greatest players ever to have played the game.

‘I think he’s going to get another club in January and continue his football career.

‘But for me, it’s just a horrible scenario, he’s done so much for the club, and to see it end this way, it’s just horrible.

‘On his part really, I would say that interview shouldn’t have been done, wrong timing as well.

‘It’s just not right. It doesn’t look right for such a player that has achieved so much in the game.’

From a technical point of view, a player with as much ego and success as Cristiano Ronaldo will definitely cause problems in the Chelsea team which is currently under rebuild. 

Therefore, there is an iota of truth in Mikel Obi's verdict.
