Even if one of them leaves, a showboater isn't the perfect solution.

Mr Blueff i never knew you know more than the European team scouts...

you seems to talk like someone who has achieved all in life...

don't you know that the lad still have so much to learn...Okocha was once like that but as he grew he learn to play much more better....under a tactical and knowledgeable coach like klopp everyone with eyes that see knows that he will improve in his end product provided he is humble enough to learn...

C. Ronaldo was not so concerned about goals then when he newly came to man United but now he had grew so much...

so Mister players grows... they learn and improve....free the young man he is not even 23 yet....

I don't understand o. I just came across Joao Felix ( Golden Boy winner) stat and Chukwueze has better stat than the guy

chucs:
You are very correct. Manu or Arsenal need Chukwueze more than other top PL clubs. But will sentiment allow them broaden their search for players like him? I doubt.

Please it is not Manu

1realBobby:
Good morning babe... My love for you is like diarrhoea, I just can't hold it in...

Subzero047:


Please it is not Manu

Why not Manu please?

Joao Felix is not worth that money

I argued it with someone here when he just joined

Thou he has a better stats at benfica

Joao Felix is just a normal average player ,most of them here disagree with me

Pepe is overpriced..

tbaba1234:
Pepe is overpriced..

We all know he is overpriced nah

Even a certain fan here will pretend but he knows the truth in his mind

Whats the difference between pepe and iwobi if i may ask?

Are you guys not better of with iwobi?

Me waiting for Leicester line up, once i dont see nacho there i am not watching .

Little known Nigerian winger Jesse Sekidika provided an assist as Galatasaray beat Altay 3-1 in a friendly ahead of the second round of the Turkish Super Lig.

Jesse, 23, delivered a telling cross from the right wing for Emre Akbaba to slot home the third goal for the Turkish league and cup winners.

The winger, sporting the No 28 jersey, showed flashes and a great drive on his debut after his transfer from a lower league club in Turkey.

Henry Onyekuru, who has returned to Gala on loan from AS Monaco, was not listed for the friendly played in Antalya.

Former Kano Pillars and Flying Eagles star Ibrahim Alhassan played for Altay, who feature in the Turkish second division.

Let this boy have a run of games first.

No Iheanacho again!

Aubameyang red carded, I thought that was a yellow

BascoVanVeli:


Let this boy have a run of games first.

Yeah till when he plays 50 games sir

Subzero047:
Aubameyang red carded, I thought that was a yellow

If possible, it should be a red card with accompanying slaps

BascoVanVeli:

Let this boy have a run of games first.

Pepe is not special
He is just a good dribbler

BascoVanVeli:



And if Barcelona had a better option Messi wouldn't be starting

Yes

mostob:
Arsenal ke ? The presence of Pepe will limit his chance. Also even at RW, Gabi has the place almost lock down. But with Arteta, Chuks will definitely improve.

Yes, precisely because of this man

TheSuperNerd:
The bolded is nonsensical and wrongly overused plus very funny. Chuks displaced top senior Villarreal Players like Nicola Sansone to get his spot on that team. Villarreal have seen the likes of Javi Ontiveros, Moi Gomez tried out in Chuks' role and these are talented players but Chuks still edges them all. Chuks is there and making impact because he is simply one of the best players at Villarreal and the best youngster to have come through their youth ranks in recent years.


If we go by your funny logic... Then it also means Gnabry starts for Bayern because they have found no one better. Tammy does it for Chelsea because they have found no one better... Even Messi (Thanks BascoVanVeli) does it for Barca too because they have found no one better! Period.

Thou art wrong, O thesupernerd

mostob:

Maybe because pepe was bought for 70 million, not that there is anything special about pepe

Olulong:

You obviously don't like the Guy

This has nothing to do with my personal likes or dislikes. Just my honest opinion.

ILLICITblood:


If possible, it should be a red card with accompanying slaps

A premier league referee once said that it can only be a red card if the BOTH FEET of the player was in the air in a lunging tackle

But one of Aubameyang's feet was on the ground

ILLICITblood:


Pepe is not special

He is just a good dribbler

Pepe is a phenomenal dribbler if I'm been honest

JOE Aribo believes people are seeing the best he can offer after switching to a forward role in the Rangers line-up.

The 23-year-old, who joined the Gers in the summer, thrived in December in his new attacking position on the right of a front three and has admitted he wasn’t getting the best out of himself in midfield.

Aribo says his whole life has changed since the switch to Glasgow in June and that his football has benefitted from a new focus on the game.

Speaking from the team’s Dubai training camp, he said: “The month before the break was a bit of adapting for me because when I was playing in the left 8 position I was a lot deeper.

“Now I am a lot higher up the pitch and get to express myself more. I have very much enjoyed switching position; I am loving it up there.

“I sat down with the gaffer and Mick (Beale) and they said they thought this was the position for me.

“It’s funny because maybe a week before I had sat down with them and said maybe I want to have a go in that position. So it kind of all fell into place and I was just happy.

“I feel like that is when I am at my best, running at defenders and into open spaces, just making things happen in and around the final third.

“I felt like I was a bit timid before and just not myself, I was playing very safe and I just want to make things happen, which is what I’m allowed to do now.

“You always want to do the best and be the best you can be but it is hard when it is not coming off and that is when you shy away from things but you shouldn’t really do that.

“I try to remain calm in all situations, say when we have a big game I go through breathing techniques to help me stay calm.

“I just don’t want to have any negativity in my head so I just always have to think of positives and think that if I make a mistake in a game I am always going to get another chance and then I have to do what I have to do.”

Aribo’s schedule has been jam packed since he arrived at Ibrox, he has played 32 times since July, which was a shock after plying his trade in the English Football League with Charlton.

He reflected on the last seven months, saying: “Coming here (to Glasgow) has been a complete change for me, there are just so many days on. When I was down in London there were a lot of days off whereas now you’re always on.

“On my body it is constant football and I would say I have adapted to it well as I come towards the end of the first six months.

“Me being up in Scotland has allowed me to think more of football, when I go home I have to recover better and that has helped me.

“When I was in London I would go and see my friends or be out more whereas in Glasgow I am just around and indoors.

“I like the focus in Scotland because it allows me to focus on what is important and that is football, I always have to perform in every game so it allows me to do that without distraction.”

After a week’s break the Rangers players reported for warm weather training on Monday in Dubai and a rare full week on the training pitch, before the week culminates with a friendly game against Lokomotiv Tashkent on Saturday.

Aribo said: “It has been really good, we have settled in really well and I am enjoying it.

“We are revisiting what we have done in the first half of the season so we are getting back into the pressing and not giving opponents time on the ball.

“When we usually get weeks off it’s the international break so I am away with Nigeria so it is good to get a full week of training together as a squad with the gym involved too.”
