Expert17: What we have on our left wing is numbers/quantity, no single quality there.
If we can't get Antony, Sancho will play from the RW and Cody from the left. Ok. That is an option but how good is this Gakpo? Steven Brgwijn has almost equalled his 2 season EPL output in 2 games back in that league. Sancho and Rashford will wreck that league so i hope you are not using clips from Ere division (Play division) to judge Gakpo. |

Expert17: It's surprising how Sancho who we signed to secure our right wing suddenly prefer playing from the Left.
First choice target will be Antony, and Cody as a backup plan. They play different wings. Why is a left winger back up plan for a RW? |

patrickmuf: I took out time to watch Gakpo and he is way better than the current Rashford...Let us sign him and Anthony that way, we have Rashford and Sancho knowing their place 8s no longer guaranteed...Martial and Gakpo can be our CF options if Ronaldo leaves else it's Ronaldo and Martial for CF, Rashford and Gakpo for LWF, Antony and Sancho for RWF, Bruno and Eriksen for AMF, VDB/?/Fred for CM and Casemiro for DM...
Elanga should be sent out on loan alongside Hannibal. Chong should be included in the deal for Gakpo while Iqbal and Savage should stay for the group stage of the UEL...
For RB, I wouldn't mind Pavard for his experience. He'd do a job for a couple of seasons before Laird or any other RB is ready... If the choice is Antony + Gakpo OR Antony + a CM which will you go for? I think a CM to partner Casemiro is crucial. |

Expert17: Cody should be the main target, it would be a case of killing 2 birds with 1 stone as he can function as a winger and striker.
Antony's stats aren't impressive, he should be having more goals and assists in Eredivisie. The only thing that makes Antony desirable is his left foot but they should be guided. We should not go more than 50 million for him sef. The extra money is also needed to buy a partner for Casemiro. |

Leyqute: I get you.
But I was talking about if he wanted to stick with the midfield pivot. Fair enough. But I think he will still start with Casemiro and Fred in the pivot unless it is an exceedingly weak opponent. Eriksen might be washed physically and never really played that deep role in his career anyway. Fred is more solid than him defensively and has understanding with Casemiro from the national team. |

Bombblacks: 2018/2019 in a dog race with Liverpool sperated by just 1 point. Fernadinho was injured for weeks, Gundogan replaced him and they won the next 8 consecutive league matches with him at the base of midfield to win the league. You are wrong again, He didn't look for a ball winner kind of player. Pep actual first choice for a Fernadinho replacement was Jorginho a similar player to Gundogan in that role before Chelsea hijacked the deal. You are comparing Pep's well oiled machine to this United side that is still learning to crawl and has not even started walking. And you are comparing Pep who even without his City career is an all time great manager to ETH who still has to write his own story. |

TrebleChamp:
, he will turn Trashguire to prime Ferdinand... You can't blame anybody who is pessimistic. We have had so many similarly promising transfers come to nothing. PTSD dey strong amongst United fans. We need one more midfielder to start as the CM (no8) sha while Casemiro holds that no 6 position. |

BlueRayDick: This is why I dey look that UK student visa Japa route with one corner eye. Most times when I sit in my quite time I do imagine what UK will look like in 2 to 3 years time when most people must have been through with their Masters and everyone will be job hunting.
Will the UK Labour market be ready to absorb many Nigerians who by then will be carrying a UK masters degree after spelling cars and other properties back here to facilitate the degree program?
What will be the fate of those who will be unfortunate to land jobs? ( Because definitely the competition will be rife between Nigerians, graduates of other African countries who went to the UK for the same purpose and UK citizens with British passports)
It's looking like the system was designed to make as much money for the UK economy and u are left to Ur own fate to sort things out.....Literally " GO HARD OR GO HOME"
As I dey I dey reason Scandinavian countries like Finland and co but I don't know much about their immigration paroles and moving with family and stuff. Then I don't know how receptive to a blackman in those places and how prosperous they are economically sha I think I mentioned here before that currently Canada probably gives you best chance of integration into the workforce. I have a good number of friends and family make successful moves there recently. My main problem with the country is the climate. |

Leyqute: If EtH signs casemiro he’s going to replace McFred with Eriksson and Casemiro.
I have mixed feelings about this. I think it will be Casemiro, Fred, and Bruno with McTominay as the alternative to Fred and Eriksen as the alternative to Bruno. Casemiro will be the mainstay as there is nobody who has his skillset in the team. I guess in ultra-attacking situations e.g chasing a goal, we might go Casemiro, Eriksen, Bruno while ultra-defensive situations we can go Casemiro, McFred in a more standard 4-3-3. |

larride: The trade disputes acts stipulates that essential workers must utilize every resolution mechanisms which includes the National Industrial Court before embarking on any strike.
Oasis has posted their reason for going on strike here, you can easily deduce the reason why they are on strike.
If I was the President, every single one of those guys that shut down the national grid will be cooling off in dss custody right now. 1) You said essential workers should not go on strike. The act which you mentioned didn’t say that. It only said they should explore all avenues BEFORE going on strike. VERY BIG DIFFERENCE. 2) I don’t know and wasn’t addressing the particulars of this current strike action. I was only reacting to your generalisation that essential workers should not go on strike. It should depend on the situation not a blanket ban. |

Casemiro is one of the best CDMs in the world. He is 30yrs old but then again Makeleke came to Chelshit at 30 also.
Beggars can’t be choosers. At this late stage in the transfer window it could be a good deal. As long as Madrid or Casemiro’s agents don’t fleece us. |

Roland17: If labor laws were strong in Nigeria the entire country would be on strike, worth more the public sector.
For here, employees of private companies like Starbucks/ Amazon are now embarking on strikes to protest poor work conditions, wages; some of them have even unionized. I was working 60-80 hours weekly earning in a month what i now make in a few hours. Yet our politicians pay is on par with that of politicians in 1st world countries. Almost everybody gets paid according to Nigerian standards but our politicians get paid according to 1st world standards. |

GloriousGbola: I know where you're coming from. My dad is a doctor, a stubbornly patriotic one who did not stay in the UK, did not return to the UK, and who left a job in the state clinic that would have kept us on easy street for life. When the wotowoto became too much he went to Saudi in the 90s.
My guys from uni were all docs. My sis is a doc. And all of them have japa. Even though Obj tried small with conmess.
But these naija engineering parastatals - they are mark register places.
I was round most of these nepa transmission stations in my first job. Mentally lazy people (to be fair it may have been the environment) most of the times when we came to install the relays that was the most action they saw in five years. And even then most of them would be dodging the work.
I can probably count the proactive guys we met in 20 stations on one hand.
Now government has used divide and rule to mess with yall. All these other useless unions dragging right. Johesu and Co. Like wtf? Yeah. I get your point. That is why i said it depends on the specifics of each case. Blanket statement that essential works should never go on strike is what made the government ignore our grievances back then. They knew they could fall back on emotional blackmail. |

GloriousGbola: i am honestly not sure why anyone was bothered
in the past 6 months there have been an average of 2 system collapses per month
their strike is really just another day.
if your car breaks down twice a week and then your mechanic suddnely threatens to go on strike - what is the difference between that and any other day? It was one of those strikes that finally pushed me out of the country. You get paid peanuts, be understaffed and overworked, and have little to no resources to work with and no response to your grievances YET when you go on strike the government will turn the people against you that you should never go on strike. I remember one night during internship that there was no ventilator in the paediatric emergency and only 1 oxygen cylinder in the hospital which was placed in the adult emergency department. My colleague and i took turns to manually ventilate one sick infant until the next morning. Our forearms looked like Popeye's the next day. |

larride: You are right but then essential workers should not be going on strike or even attempt to tamper with critical national assets. It depends on the reason for the strike. You can’t make a blanket statement that essential workers should never go on strike when government treats them like trash sometimes. You can’t deny them that right that other workers have to go on strike and then still maltreat them just because they are essential workers. If they are so essential then treat accordingly. Being an essential worker should not be a punishment. |

larride: Most times strike is used as a blackmailing tool to force the hand of govt to their demand because the unions know that govt will automatically take the blame whatever happens. From my personal experience government hardly listens to grievances unless workers go on strike. A lot of postponement of meetings and promises to review grievances. Lots of sending third parties to cajole, threaten or bribe union leaders. Incredibly skilled time wasting techniques. And not just a few minutes like in football both a few months to a few years. |

Maybe the solution is if you nack a dodgy girl. Report her for rape first.  |

Another thing wey sure be say when you poor and nothing to gain from you, You wont have these type of issues Not really the case. In this modern world if you knack a babe sharperly and then dump her even more sharperly she can claim rape......whether rich or poor no matter. The fact that she feels used means she might want to arrange you. If you knack a babe and then she somehow feels ashamed e.g her friends or bf find out, she can claim rape. In order to save face a babe can allege rape. |
