Essien has played box-to-box, but was easily the more attack-minded than defensive, won balls high up the pitch along with Juninho, with Diarra/Edmilson behind as DMs. He rarely was a DM-minded player.
And it's you Cule c**ts who used Yaya as a restrictive DM, he plays as AM fairly regularly these days. Not even box to box. So fuck off
As for your suggestion that Mikel could have played as a AM-ish player.

, why are you using two players to make a point, when their is 100's of black midfielders who are all primarily used as work horses.
, on here, talking to yourself. 
You might recall that Drenthe once looked very good in the U21 Euro Championships, prompting Real Madrid to jump on the bandwagon and sign him. Players who perform well in certain positions at U20/U21 level don't always perform as well in those roles at senior level. Mikel is a classic example.
We'll see how well he performs next season, Modric plays in a better team so he will obviously look like the better player but Cabaye outshone him this season, and was easily one of the most instrumental players in the Prem last season. However the dreaded SSS and the lack of proper rest might affect his ability to play as many games at such a high intensity for Newcastle which will obviously attribute to a drop in form. Also if Tiote goes and Newcastle fail to sign a similar player who can cover as much ground and pass as accurately then Cabaye again will suffer as he will have to work harder off the ball.
