Is it Gladiator like Maximus or another one?

Yeah but it continues the story from years after Maximus’ death.

patrickmuf:

PrinceEma:
Bro, get lost with your pretense.

Thanks so much 🙏

P.S Am I allowed to use GPS after getting lost?

PrinceEma:
Guy, get out.

Thanks so much 🙏

PrinceEma:
Who is one of them? Keep quiet bro.

When they use denigrating words on obidients, your own na to shine teeth in support. Hypocrite.

And you are throwing insults as well. Talk about being a slow poison.

We know you belong in the cornfield as well.

Stop masking and take several seats.

Thanks so much. 🙏

Spy360:
Doc zukwanike. Take a chill pill 💊

I am in sifia pains.

GloriousGbola:
And you are actually comparing oasisx to DonJ

You obidients really take the cake for lack of self awareness

Lack of awareness and lack of sense.

One of them has been labelling people bastards throughout today but if anybody responds now Justice League and Voltron members will show up to play victim card.

Obidients have to ronu.

Another non-billionaire Obidient.

kad199:
Your own na too dey throw subtle side kicks forming innocent. Old fool.

Thanks so much.

OasisX:


....we are all Brothers and want good things for every state and Nigeria at large. Make una dey calm down.

Never in the history of calming down has anyone calmed down by being told to calm down.

OasisX:


Oops! You missed the modified version. I criticized Alex Chioma Otti constructively but you call me name for it..... so why?

I don’t think he is among the billionaire Obidients.
Billionaire Obidients are not so easily triggered.

Ihebu4chelsea:
I'm not stupid.... Tinubu is my President!!! Just stop acting Silly when People Criticise the Government Constructively!! Your's is Just Tribal affliation nothing More!!!

Why are you typing in loud tones?

ChristineC:
outside this, the transfer budget bandied about is not feasible in today's market.
how much have Arsenal and City spent? these are guys that already have a better or more stable team. Arsenal under Arterta are at least three transfer windows ahead in their development and we are talking about spending £120m.

I think the club is just trying to minimise transfer fee. We can’t spend 120m when Assanal spent 100m on one player.

ChristineC:
yeah I'm thinking same. pretty much sum us up next season.
quicker transition more or less. Bruno and Mount as a double AM sort of.
let's see the calibre of GK and striker we bring in to be certain.
perhaps in the more difficult games, Bruno will drop in with Casemiro since he has the better long range passing. I still expect us to get another CM/DM hybrid player in.

it's said that Ten Hag has been after Mount since Adam. not sure why but again, he seem to be going after players he's had relationships with or a previous dossier on. this could point to a lack of trust in the scouts or some other thing fundamentally unstable in the club to put it mildly.

The guy’s knowledge of other players in other leagues is limited. I think that one is clear now.

The good thing is that the club has tried in their own incompetent way to get him the players he wants.

The bad thing is that his view appears limited. Whether the scouts are not helping him ni or he is not listening to them ni (quite likely) only Ahura Mazda knows. He has a stubborn streak which can be both a positive and a negative.

Imagine if Pep ends up signing De Jong after all our toasting. Atum, where is your face?

ChristineC:
got it.
as for specific players, I can understand Rashford's position. the guy was showing too much talent to legit steal his shine

what do you think of Mount and how he fits in? he's our player now.

Lol. I think Rashy’s own was more of PR. He will always distance himself from anything that can stain his white. The guy is targeting a knighthood by the time it’s all said and done.

I don’t have a ready explanation for Mason Mount but several people here have made some deductions.

1) ETH is not going to go extreme with possession like Pep or like he did at Ajax. My guess is he believes that extreme possession style will require too many changes in personnel. Just a guess.

2) Mount will be brought in to replace Eriksen in the starting line up. He is not as good a progressive passer but he is a much better progressive runner. He is faster, stronger, and less of a defensive liability than Eriksen and a very good presser.

3) Bruno will be fully pushed back into central midfield to play in the same level as Mount as two proper 8s with Casemiro as the 6.

The team will play more possession than Klopp and more vertically than Pep (or less vertically than Kopp and less possession than Pep). Some how in the middle between those 2.

This is my best guess from what others have said here.

ChristineC:
my reference to these groups of people is because they almost always hold themselves as moral beacons. you work with varying nationals, you know what I'm about.
it's not about sexual assault or anything in particular. it's just who they have been conditioned to be and there are exceptions of course.
the speck is always magnified in other people's eyes.

the BB fan channels hardly have a mind of their own. I see some of their game analysis on YT and it's mostly clowning at best.

You are just missing the point. I am not talking about game analysis or understanding of football. They are all based in the UK and that is a small sample size of how the match-going fans in the UK feel about the situation. There are whites and blacks who are pro-Greenwood and there are whites and blacks who are anti-Greenwood, and the division is definitely not along racial lines. The most clear-cut anti-Greenwood stance i have heard is from black Brit fan channels. And i disagree that they don't have a mind of their own. There is always conflict and discord on those channels whether they are right or wrong. They are usually anti-mainstream and some of them even beef themselves to the point of not talking to each other.

With regards to those specific players who don't want him back it is possible that most of them have left anyway. DDG, CR7, Rashford, and Pogba were the first to unfollow immediately he was arrested. Only Rashy is left and i suspect his was a PR move anyway. DDG it seems really felt strongly about it. CR7 likely did it as a PR move as well though he also had a personal beef with Greenwood.

The player issue is a minor thing anyway. The main challenge is the fan reaction. That audio recording was chilling.

ChristineC:
I'd have believed that if we had a lot of pale skinned Americans/Australians/Britons in the team.

I don’t understand. This is not a race thing. There might be players whose family members have experienced sexual assault and rape before. Whether they are black, brown, or white does not matter. It is a personal issue.

Out of all the United fan channels the ones that have been most forceful in saying that they don’t want him back are the ones that are run by dark skinned Brits (African origin).

Skin tone/colour does not matter in this case.

ChristineC:
honestly, if he can't play in the EPL now then he can't play ever.
[/b]apparently he'll not expect cheers from away grounds. he will need to ride it over a few weeks and it's done so long he has the backing of his teammates. I don't believe he's a Sancho upstairs but I guess we'll find out. if it were up to Greenwood, I'm almost certain he won't chicken out.
Ten Hag has said he doesn't mind having him in the squad (why would he? this guy has no striker and may not get any good enough to lead the line every week). he says it's up to the owners and they need to deal with it here and now. whatever "internal investigation" they are having, play him or sell him completely and let that be that.

Your first statement is wrong. With time the focus on individual actions like that from the fans fades a bit. It is either fans get bored and move on to next target/scandal or some fans feel he has been punished enough and let him be. I am not saying there is no way he plays next season but that it might be a factor in the club's thinking.

With regards his mental strength, even though he might be 10 times tougher than Sancho he might be about to be targeted by fans in a way nobody has ever been targeted in the premier league, so we will see how he handles it if it eventually happens.

Another issue that might be tricky to navigate is that i have heard that several members of the United squad do not want him back.

larride:
Maybe they think Yoruba Ronu is a slur.

Probably because Obidients refused to ronu and wasted their votes on Pitobi. .

larride:
So if Obi had won, na only Obidient the administration will hit?

LOL.

Very shocking something.

ChristineC:
the club can barely purchase good players and you are talking of football lifeline?
do you want the manager sacked before the season starts?

It will be difficult for Greenwood to play in the EPL (at least next season). The best option might be to loan him out or to sell him with a buy back clause.

The amount of abuse he will get in the stadiums in England might be dangerous for his mental health. Maybe in a year or two the mood might be different.

A40:
Pelinka is doing a solid job kept Hachimura, got guys like Vincent and Hayes. Even Reddish who I've never understood why he's been such a problem thus far. It's a travesty he is trending towards bust territory as he has huge potential in my eyes

I no wan hear Pelinka slander from the usual suspects on the web cos that man is doing his job

And how far that foot 'surgery' from our King Cap-a-lot he's the goat alright the goat of CAP

When they were in college there were reports that Reddish had little to no motor. I read an article that stated that while Zion and Reddish were probably the more talented naturally RJ was the one whose intangibles made up somewhat for it.

Your skill and natural ability can get you to the NBA but if you don’t have that drive/motor/competitive edge it might get rough.

Meanwhile ESPN don sack everybody finish.

How many non-Top 6 teams can afford to pay Fred 120k per week, Maguire 200k per week, and Sancho 300k per week?

Even Telles is on 90k per week.

Clubs are looking at their balance sheet. They are not browsing through Nairaland mentions. The result of our Udoji awards salary scale is that other teams will be reluctant to buy those underperforming United players who were already being overpaid in the first instance.

patrickmuf:
Na now fans dey cause am no be board again?

If na so, we are all guilty except eph12.

nitrogen will blame obidients and agbadorians for Man Utd’s inability to sell players before he blames the board. It is known.

GloriousGbola:
I saw him viewing yesterday.



I still asked her again. She says dude does not have our time as he is managing Tinubu economy.

That’s reassuring. Maybe he is perfecting his Japa manoeuvre. One should not lose guard just because of NL.

raumdeuter:
The 3rd season of The wire finally lived up to hype

Keep it up. It is all in the game.

TrebleChamp:
Some actually put the blame on De Gea alone, ignoring the other factors like the ability of the players we have in the team. Now that De Gea has left the club, United will finally be able to play the possession football next season according to their submissions...

LOL Nobody put it on DDG alone, however like Christo said he is a major reason. It starts with him and he was the most crucial bit.

superfelix:
Ethan Laird departs Man Utd

I had hopes for this guy but that AWB/Dalot roadblock proved too much for him. This our new style is actually better. Better to offload them early if they are not in the manager's plans than to keep them here for years like Tuanzebe and TFM.

BlueRayDick:
Davido really but more than he can chew with this Akata o

Reminds me of this scene from Sugar Hill. Davido should have listened to the advice here.
