I have seen him play few times as i follow borough cos of Carrick, the boy is good at progressing the ball and also good with passing. He is not the very best we can get but on the ball he is better than what we correctly have...

The problem for me is that all these accolades are against Championship opposition.

If it was a 19yr old boy doing all these I would say there is big potential for improvement but as a 23 yr old I am suspicious of him. Apart from Buendia and Benrahma there have been many players that dominated the Championship in their 20s and moved to the EPL and could not replicate it.

If funds are so limited i would buy Baleba this season and go for a CF next season.

Baleba and Mainoo first choice CM. Ugarte and Case 2nd choice. Bruno, Mbeumo, Cunha can rotate in attack.

I will check his videos sha but just remember the gap between Championship and EPL.

Hehehe I clocked that immediately. I knew something was fishy when there was no date on the posted section. I checked the source and found out it was just a couple of years ago.

Tough! 😀😀😀

TrebleChamp:
Amorim should press the board to sign him good midfielders in addition to a striker, we should not rely on Casemiro and Bruno next season.. The board should look at that Hayden Hackney kid if other targets are too expensive...

How well have you watched this Hackney?
He is 23 and now only started making waves in the Championship. That is a red flag

I remember how people were hyping Buendia and Benrahma because of their exploits in the Championship only for them to fail to match that hype in the EPL.

Doc, no be me and you dey here that day….wen dem dey threaten Dayo with lawsuit?

I don dey think say the guy go show Dayo pepper but elder disappoint like Amaka 🥲

TemporaryHansel:
Of course you're enjoying yourself, everything’s just a story or theatre to you now. It's all a big circus.

I guess this is exactly what Disstroy wanted?What a shame, really.

I have to say you are right, I am enjoying myself.

Come o, is it true?
It is one thing to beg a woman for 2 hours to allow you to jeshe. It is another thing to beg a woman for 2 hours to go and beg another woman for you to allow you to jeshe.

It is a makanaki something.

diggz:
Bro…so na like this you no take carry raumdeuter go court again?

BlueRayDick:
This bold is an assumption that may not be true.

I don’t live abroad and can’t claim to know for sure if there aren’t road signs for almost every potential traffic violation.

Why not let’s ask people who live abroad if there are signs for all of the things u mention up there or if drivers are just expected to do them ?

livelongnprospa what’s it like in Canada?

That sharp turn would not need a “no U-turn” side over here, especially on a bridge. It would be expected that all motorists would know that it is unsafe and illegal to turn there.

Only a roundabout or a designated lane for those making a U-turn would make sense there.

na this guy be Edo No 1 citizen?

Capaldi:
There's no way Sarina Wiegman is not better than some coaches in the championship and even the premier league. Another interesting fact is that teams with women coaches have won 95% of all female tournaments since 2000 despite being the minority. I thought the men would be dominating.

1) The best female coaching minds competing against mediocre male coaching minds who could not get good jobs coaching men.

2) The women would probably be better at “woman management” than men.

Englishisamust:
Afrodoc. Where does Antony aura go?? Unaa dey talk say he get aura.. Upon all the aura wey hin get no club don gree buy aam!!!

Aura wey dey so loud e fit quench the aura of the entire club. Dat na why Antony nickname na Auramadike. The clubs dey jealous of his aura levels.

Roland17:
I am not disputing Enyimba's other claims oh but which kain 5 star hotel be N65K/ Night

For short time.

ChristineC:
it's a shame we can't be in for a good striker who wants out like Isak.

who'd you rather as alternate if they cost same?
Watkins or Mateta.

Watkins but any good CF will be okay at the right price.

The ticking time bomb right now is our central midfield.

KingTom:
Over 30 years actually

Most of them did over 30 years.

raumdeuter:
Undertaker surely has to be top 3 of all time or worst top 5

He started from early 90s and and was active for over 20yrs

It’s not just about longevity but about dominance, popularity, titles.

He has an argument for Top 10 all time but not Top 3.

Hulk, Ric Flair, Stone Cold, Shawn Michaels, Bret Hart, The Rock, John Cena etc.

The problem with Top 5 is that only 5 people can enter. 😀

raumdeuter:
Macho Man Randy Savage

Elizabeth.

George The Animal carry am for shoulder kidnap am. 😀

raumdeuter:
Sid Justice aka Psycho Sid, Jake the Snake Roberts, Million Dollar Man, Sgt Slaughter, Kane Yokozuna even Mr Fuji they will all enter before Mr Perfect

Haha. I remember Mr Fuji. wicked soul. He and his tag teammate Mr Saito.

raumdeuter:
I really liked the guy. After he broke away from his tag team and for some time he teamed up with Bret Hart

He was Bret Hart’s brother-in-law.

Tochex101:
Where is British bulldog...

Davey Boy Smith. He is rated but not Top 10.

Only Hulk, Ric Flair, Bret the Hitman, Shawn Michaels, and maybe Macho Man or Undertaker from that era have great arguments for Top 10 no matter what.

Ibime:
You missed out the two greatest - Macho Man and Mr Perfect

Where Mr Perfect want see greatest?

E no even dey top 10. You can say your favourite.

For 80s and 90s era in no particular order na Hulk Hogan, Ric Flair, Macho Man, Bret Hart, Shawn Michaels, Undertaker, Steve Austin.

Andre the Giant, Ricky the dragon Steamboat, Ultimate Warrior all go enter before Mr Perfect.

KingTom:
I swear and an Isak would be the best option but many factors are working against us, the current state of the club sef is already a turn-off coupled with our financial issues. It's sad that as it stands now, if anything happens to Mbeumo its back to the evil twins

The Glazers destroyed the club years ago. Na dead skeleton remain.

swiz123:
Just got the news that she passed away while on transit to Awka just now. This is just devastating!!!

Oh dear! I am sorry for your loss. If there is one thing I would want to improve in Nigeria, it is the healthcare system. Too many people are dying before their time.

Ellexy:
So he has the required tools but it depends on how much work he's willing to put in to become a difference maker and how much he wants to be a top player.

Basically. The potential is there.

Leyqute:
Thanks.

At this point I’m concerned about Lacey’s chances of making it in pro football. His small frame aside, those recurrent injuries are a worry.

Yeah. He can’t afford another injury-riddled season.

There are a few players whose chances here have already been crushed by injuries.

Dan Gore, Ethan Ennis, Malachi Sharpe for example.

If you suffer recurrent injuries between 16 and 19 and you have not yet made the senior team then sope otilor.

Leyqute:
He is a good player.



Whatever happened to Missin afrodoc? Is he still tenacious? Been a while I saw youth games.

Missin has been missing for sometime now. I believe he is one of the ones that battled injury problems last season. Lacey and Fitzgerald being the most prominent.

Ellexy:
Afrodoc, is Ethan Williams really that special? Word is that Amorim rates his potential and ceiling even higher than Garnacho’s. What’s your take?

Ethan Williams is ambidextrous and because of that he gets chances to cross or shoot easily, and at youth level he was elite at both.

He has decent speed but not top level. His touch is unpredictable. He does not play with consistent intensity although he has it when he wants to turn it on. He looks like he could be faster than he is but does not use it. His work rate off the ball is good though.

MRTA7:
Would be great but probably in the region of £80m. I do fear we would be decimated by AFCON if we sign Baleba as well.

I really like Adam Wharton but another expensive buy we cannot afford.

I want a GK though but I dont know who.

There are many GKs we can sign for small money who will be an improvement on Onana. That should be the easiest position to fill because the incumbent is so poor.

MRTA7:
With Mbeumo confirmed, what position or player would you want the club to sign next?

What player would I want?
Carlos Baleba.

Can we afford him now?
Probably not.

Oga Doctor $2M=N3.5B

Schweppes! That’s tough.

My app is telling me 3 billion.

Anyway the original bone of contention before he successfully renovated the debate was Elder equating 2m USD lifestyle in Nigeria to 200m USD lifestyle in the US.

Olowunl01:
Sorry I messed up the formatting.

House N500M - GRA/Other Top Estate in Ibadan, Abeokuta even cheaper, getting to lagos is easy most times.

Cars - 500m, This amount is for showy peeps, simple person like me a lexus GX or LX is more than sufficient, you can get a hilux pickup for N100M.

Others N500m - lifestyle expenses incl OS

N2B invested in TBills I believe current rate is 19%, last year was higher. $200k returns...

Example Business class return Ticket to the abroad depending on location & season $10k, so plenty change go remain.

Note, taste and lifestyle vary, as someone who is considering semi-retiring to Naija, Ikoyi & Lekki won't be a top choice location for me.

After you spend 500m on house, 500m on car, 500m on others including OS, where will you see the 2B to invest in TBills?
