We keep losing these boys to England.

I'm so annoyed with Oliseh for not getting this guy.

I'm annoyed with myself too sha, cos if my boy ever goes Professional, I would slap him even he dares consider playing for Super Eagles.

Do you know the guys dad? He looks like one guy I know in Houston.

You dey talk of your son, Even me sef, If dem invite me now, Why would I play for Nigeria?
Why would anyone want to play for Nigeria? What benefit does it hold

Nihilist:


Rooney did not have 103 goals at 22

Rooney had 94. Close enough

raumdeuter:


How many times do I tell you that some teams are friendly champions while some win the real championship

England would be flawlessin qualifiers only to reach tournament and they are opened up like Ashi

Or Arsenal that dominate pre season, win trebles in pre season and get wasted in real season

This is a new England team Brah. Ready to take on all and sundry. No worries we go jam una Nazis at the Euros next year

coogar:

rooney is the only teenage striker in the history of modern football that is better than the current martial. rooney was a freak of nature! he was so good with & without the ball & when he got angry on the pitch, he massively destroyed defences!

More like the most overrated Teenage striker in modern football.

AdeLaNa1:

So Lukaku has more goals than Rooney had at his age but you lot still feel Martial is better?

And Dayo is still pretending to be Octopus Paul with the silly predictions?

Mehn, SE are bleeped. They don't even play allowance to their players.

Yes and this season Lukaku has 7 goals and 4 assists in 12 apps. That's contributing 11 goals in 12 apps

What is Martial's?

I'm just wondering how you can compare Martial with his 15 career goal total to Lukaku and his 103 goals...

Nope! Mata was sold because he lacked the affinity for your teams love of "bus parking jogo bonito"! I believe he was your teams current 2 time player of the year when he was sold innit?

He had 2 jump @ the chance when he got an offer 2 join a team who was / is "more concerned with scoring goals as opposed 2 stopping goals"! WE gave him a platform 2 express himself! WE let smalling, jones, rojo, shaw, dharmian and mc nair do the defending! NOT MATA!!!

Where do you guys get these sizzling hot conjectures from?

Mata have been enjoying the 'park-the-bus' style since 2012 under RDM. How come the love for the approach was automatically lost under JM?

Mata was ready to fight for his place under Jose, surf the web to confirm. He was part of the blue family, and never wanted to leave. Check up the emotional farewell letter he wrote to the blues' fans.

It was Jose's decision to sell him, not the other way round.

Moreover, Chelsea have outscored manyoo in the league over the past two seasons. So your claim that Mata jumped at the chance of playing with a team that scores goals doesn't even hold water by any stretch of imagination.

United has been in turmoil the past two years for obvious reasons. doesn't say much as well.

A team in turmoil would find it hard to score goals, that's quite simple for Mata to grasp.

So the claim that he jumped at the chance of playing for manyoo - a team in turmoil, is an absolute hogwash.

the other angle is that the Jungle King doesn't eat grass.

it doesn't matter if Leicester City wins the league this season, everybody know it won't be the norm. United can remain in the pits for two seasons & the public still know its a matter of time.

I like Lukaku

The other angle you say, but I'm look at facts brah.

Lest you forget, Ajax were once an European powerhouse, and Liverpool, once the king of England.

that "other angle" is also fact!
Such changes happen over a decade, not even five years.

Man City is still tagged underdogs in Europe, it will take a while to shake off despite the knowledge they can be just as dangerous on their day.

Clubs like Porto or Dortmund mounting a challenge in UCL will be waved off despite they've done it before but Juventus will be taken less lightly despite their "relegated" tag.

Well, Martial is injured. Thanks International football.

When you really look at his career stats, Rooney is not as impressive a forward as he is being projected by the press. If Lukaku was English, he will have more hype and respect than rooney.
But this Martial guy sha, everybody is happy with him but we all know one season does not make a career. Hell, he's not even played 6 months. But for man u's sake I hope he keeps developing, cos with his confidence and "maturity" at just 19 years we just may have one of the biggest stars for the future on our hands.

Lukaku played as a lone striker.

Rooney played mostly behind a striker, even had time in the wing.

That's a fact. You cannot use a lone striker to compare someone who played in the attacking midfield.

At Everton he had two or three established strikers ahead of him. At United he had Smith and Nistelrooy ahead of him. He initially started from the wing on his arrival before he was later moved behind a striker. Later he had to play behind Saha, Tevez. At best he was in a fluid three. His striking time was very much limited.

That Alli really played well from midfield. The through pass to Sterling after winning the ball was fine, and it led to the second goal.
