But I think say you no want new signings, since you say Poch and Lampard no sign players so Ole shouldn't expect any additions.

Where you stand oga Expert abi you be pendulum bob?

Lol what I think he meant was it shouldn't be doomsday if Ole doesn't get new signings.

Yeah it shouldn't be doomsday, na Armageddon

To look our squad list fit gimme massive mood swing.

elrony:


Can we get Wilfred or Thomas already?

elrony:


Na all these things turn my head yesterday, I gats drop Bible carry weapon like Gideon against the Midianites.



Cc Leyqute

eph12:



I personally don't see a bad squad sha. It's much better than we want to accept and that's because of their results on the pitch. I hope we get to see their real potential this season

Leyqute:


Dude. You’re hard on this guy’s case.

Have you been watching from afar and have now decided to step out cos you can’t take it no more?

Leyqute:


Lol.

I won’t mind Thomas Partey. He’ll slot in perfectly into that CDM role. With Matic to cover as backup during busy weeks we’ll be sorted out in that position.

Leyqute:


Apostle!

No weapon fashioned against you shall prosper!

Sniper4real:



Make we turn them to our feeders team shey

CrystalTiger:


Yes na..Them dey get better talent for there and Van Der Sar go dey smooth things for us Wella..

odizeey:

See talk o. Till them sack am abi.

elrony:


Thanks for helping us sign VDB. Please approve Sancho's transfer I take Amadioha beg you!

GloryIsaac:


Phil Jones has already survived this transfer window o

I even believe the other guys have all survived it, because the way United is going about this thing, selling them now without replacement na suicide shot.
.

odizeey:

See talk o. Till them sack am abi.

adebayo201:


As per he can't be sanctioning every sale. But as far it is, we're okay with this vDB

CrystalTiger:


Sack am as per say we no go dey pay for the players or wetin cus me no understand the sacking you dey talk oo bro..

CrystalTiger:


Are you in any way suggesting that Dr Phil Jones will get a testimonial for his years of service to the club?

GloryIsaac:


It has already been suggested earlier, but he declined it because he felt that people won’t show up to watch the match, based on his overall performance at the club.

The man in charge of the club, Nitrogen, can throw more light on that.

afrodoc2:


Yeah. I think Kagawa scouted him the season before then.

My debate with Kagawa was i believe actually VDB vs Frenkie de Jong. He felt VDB was better and i felt FDJ was better.

Obviously now i am praying that he was right and i was wrong.

FDJ would have slotted in sweetly at CDM though......well one can only fantasize.

eph12:

Lol what I think he meant was it shouldn't be doomsday if Ole doesn't get new signings.

Panther7:
kagawa's argument was VDB was a natural goalscorer and he can play a number of positions compared to de jong, let's hope he is right and you are wrong

diadem10:
If we were to search through the known leagues for the necessary players, the likes of Epl, La liga, Bundes, Ligue 1, Serie A, Erediv, Portug Liga, and the championship would be the places at.




In Ligue 1, most of the quality players resided in Psg while Monaco is already depleted. Moreover, I've discovered that most of the french midfielders lack awareness as playmakers and the main reason they are only good for box-box role. There are exceptions such as Jean Seri but his feets are allergic to cold weathers. Nabi Fekir is not even a playmaker but just a goalscoring midfielder, similar to Ramsey. Lemar had a poor season.

In LaLiga, Real madrid, Barca and Atletico hoard most of the talents. I would love to have Ceballos but Madrid would rather send him to Barca's academy than to us. Kovacic is another although I feel something strange about him, he doesn't look fluid in midfield to me despite his lovely technique and Madrid won't even sell. Koke is another but the idiot loves Atletico more than life itself. Besides, I have problem with spanish players due to the fact they always love to go back home, especially when any of the spanish giants are interested in them. Their clubs would have just wasted the effort developing them.

In Serie a, I would love to snatch Pjanic off Juve but Juve's demand isn't worth it. Juve's LB, Sandro had a poor season. There's Savic who's just another Pogba, I don't even know what people see in him that will complement his 'dopplelanger' in our midfield.

We have Jorginho whose passing range is underwhelming for me. His anticipation as a no 6 is not the best for me too. Apart from these, he's quite good as a playmaking no 6.

In Bundesliga, there's Goretzka, a quality player who's been snatched by Bayern. Keita already signed for Liverpool. Weigl had a poor season and I don't even think he can cope in the Epl.

There's Meyer who's got quality technique on the ball but offers little in the midfield. He's looked good when moved to a no 6 role but still offers little e.g his passing range and incisive passes need to be better but apart from these, he looks fluid in the role. Frosberg is another player, he's more of an attacking midfielder though.

In Portugese Liga, I can only vouch for Oliver Torres and Ricardo Peirerra. Perreira has everything to be a fantastic fullback but he's positional suspect, similar to Marcelo but not yet as good.

Oliver has had a tough season under Porto's coach who prefers a brute in the midfield unlike the previous coach who built Porto team around Oliver when he was on loan at Porto and he did flourish as Porto's playmaker that year. Anyway, There's no use signing him because those Spanish mofos will always come knocking after ''the food don done''.

In Eredi, we have many talents but those that caught my eyes are Van de beek, De Jong, de Ligt, Ziyech, Kluivert.
Ziyech is one player I will try to avoid. He plays like Pogba but with Depay's technique on the ball. He always loves to force play and sometimes he gets it right but not for me. Kluivert has just started his life and his game lacks some maturity in it.

Everyone knows De ligt already. He's got everything to be worldclass, if he's not already. If Davison Sanchez who wasn't as good as de Ligt when they were centre back duo at Ajax could slot seamlessly at Spurs, I don't see why the more superior de Ligt can't. Forget his age, his game has every maturity in it.

Van de beek can play both as no 6 and no 8 but his best game has always been in the no 6 role. His awareness and movement are top notch. The fact that he's always ahead the play, that is, knows what to do with the ball before he gets it is one reason I want him here. His positional discipline, anticipation and ability to switch play are another lovely attributes of his. He's the total package for me as a no 6 because unlike Ruben Neves, de beek's great in the air, more defensively sound and more mobile as a no 6. What more? He's a goal scoring midfielder and direct/indirect set piece taker.

Frenkie de Jong plays both no 6 and centre back roles but I feel the centre back fits him better. He's still recuperating from his injury though.

In the championship, I can vouch for Grealish, Maddison, Ruben Neves and Diogo Jota. Grealish is a fantastic playmaking no 8. Maddison is more of an attacking midfielder but can play as 8 too. Jota is a quality forward.

patrickmuf:
Now let's go all out for Sancho and possibly a LCB.

As an aside, the figures I am reading associated with Partey is too good to be true. 45m for a very good DM is a steal for any club that signs him. Me thinks we shouldn't miss this opportunity o!

afrodoc2:


The problem is that we have not been linked to him. It is like the club is not looking his way at all.

patrickmuf:
Diadem definitely knows his football to some extent. His take on French midfielders is spot on, see his take on Jorginho, 100% correct.

I also subscribe to his take on Savic. I think he was a bit harsh on Ziyech but there's some element of truth in his take.

A good read once again. Kagawa10, please bless us with your presence once again.
