Lol
So these same posters (including eph12, can't remember) asked for Pogba to be replaced with Ndidi?

Is this the eph12 or it's another one?



Try to keep up bro.
Nobody said Pogba was a virus, we only said the team need him stepping up and controlling the midfield but we know he can't do that on his own and need quality players around him. If Ed can't give us those quality midfielders to support Pogba, he's going to be a waste of space and money in the team.

I hope this is easy to understand enough

Hehehe see as eph12 exonerate himself like Neymar.

nitrogen:
Cool. I don't see Ed making more that two signings this summer, unfortunately.

Lol. When no be say dem swear for am.

There will be a minimum of 4 senior signings this offseason, and probably as many as 6.
Anything less than 4 and Ed wan use atagigun do eye shadow be that.

nitrogen:
Doc, nobody is formulating anything. My point is, we cannot afford to sell our best player. I quoted someone that pointed out that Pogba is a very good player, and jokingly said that they want us to sell the guy and replace him with someone playing a different position.

Hilarious assertion from you, if I may say!

Nothing more to be said if it was a joke.
I responded cos I can’t remember anyone saying we should replace Pogba with Ndidi, which was what your post implied.

Let’s move on and discuss our potential transfer targets. About a month to preseason so we should start expecting news now. Hopefully we are in for another “medical for everyone” jamboree from Ed.

eph12:
Can't be me na, cos I never asked for Pogba to be replaced with Ndidi. I don't think anyone did sef. You just like quarrel pass fight, dazzal

Some people are not happy when discussions are friendly or without rancor. Is it not better for us to have good debates here instead of quarreling all the time?

The guy just woke up, formulated a point of view in his own mind and is coming here to attack the same point.

Leyqute:
This De Ligt is just flirting with the media.

Mino don infect am. The original virus.

nihilistjnr:
only based on the fact that wilder lacks fundamentals.

AJ wey I see yesterday no fit beat wilder gaan, because that chin won't last long enough to get the points decision.

He will be sparked up like Isuzu generator

That was my fear and I think that is what will happen.
One Wilder punch nicely landed will turn him to a drunkard again.
AJ is the better boxer but with that chin and that (lack of) cardio Wilder will wreck him.

Wilder has been working on polishing his skills and tightening his punches and reducing the arc of his swing. How does AJ work on his chin?

A40:
Funny enough I was the one most worried about Wilder's KO power back then on the thread

Haba don’t rewrite history. I was the one who warned you repeatedly about Wilder’s power and you said AJ has equal if not greater punching power.

We all praised AJ and gave him props at different times, even Nihilist believed ( maybe still believes) he can beat Wilder.
Only ibime was completely anti-AJ.

ChristoBam:
By December, watch how most of them will start shouting Ole out, Ole out. Most of them will delete their previous comments supporting Ole. So by December you won't even know those that cursed you in the past because you were saying the facts about Ole's appointment.

Who knows, you might even be the guy that used to attack me because of Ole then lol. Just kidding.

You need to calm down.

Nobody has said Ole will win treble next season. What has been said is that he should be given the chance to bring in his own players like the previous managers.

If by December he is failing and fans call for his sack there is no shame in that, and definitely should not lead to people deleting old posts.

Unless you are telling us what you would do if he starts doing well.

Dele Alli had his worst full season in terms of scoring in the recently concluded one with 5 goals.

The thing is when Dele isn’t scoring goals he is an average midfielder.

nihilistjnr:
wilder won't fight on Dazn.I think he's signed to his own deals as well.

AJ didn't look comfortable fighting down. His trainer audibly instructed him to hide behind the jab after the 1st round, but he stood there to trade.

walk backwards, jab and 1-2 and you go dey bam.

This is the kind of fight any tall boxer would win so easily.

I didn't see anything from Ruiz to suggest he's special. I think AJ expected to step in the ring, do light work, and be shouting out wilder after round 3.

Won fi oruka fo gbogbo oju e, and he never saw it coming

Oruka ke? Does that mean jazz is real? Lmao.

Ruiz is not special. Joshua was just careless, and obviously he was just banging chicks in that his Miami camp cos he looked sluggish and low on stamina.

The problem is that in this game where hitting is normal play any glass jaw man is likely to walk into a Suzie Q sooner or later.

nihilistjnr:
he's going to be rich from his Dazn subscription deals.

I heard he has stakes in the company.

obviously rematch money will be rolling in soon.

Femo will bounce back like Tafa.
Destroy this Mexicano and obliterate Wilder when it matters.


In Jesus name we pray. Amen

chic2pimp:
Let's see How well He bounces back first. If He does in style and then faces Wilder(He has no other choice now) and defeats Him, I'm sure the tune will change.

I am hoping he does bounce back. I know he can beat this Ruiz guy if he regroups.
My problem is that glass jaw. In boxing you can work on almost everything except your chin.
Your chin is your chin.

Even if he ever faces Wilder and is dominating on points i would still be afraid until the bout ends, because we now know that he can’t handle a flush hit from Wilder.

Ibime:
Boxing is not by Abs, 6 packs or by looking like vitruvian man.

Gypsy King does not have one single abs or muscle and is the best boxer in the division.

If Gypsy king had punching power he would be unbeatable for a while.
He boxes better than all of them and he was able to wake up like undertaker in the last rounds after been hit by a nuke from Wilder. So stamina and chin checked out also.

chic2pimp:
Disappointed. Did not see that coming tbf. Now that the deed is done and dusted, it's how He bounces back from this defeat that counts. All Great Boxers have lost a bout at a point in time in their Career but they all came back stronger. If He does, we will all remember this as a turning point in His career however If He doesn't........(Fill in the Blanks)

AJ has a glass jaw. I can’t think of a single great heavyweight with a glass jaw.
It is hard but not impossible to be great in that division without knockout power, but nearly impossible to do it with a glass jaw.

Soon Drake will not see any athlete to snap pic with. Lol

nihilistjnr:
naaah

I don't want to hear it.

where are them Afrodoc2 airmark and chic2pimp?

femo Joshua knocked down like a bowling pin

Lol see your cousin. Femo disappoint us.

You called it sha, but to be fair i wasn't so much into the hype like A40 was.

I always knew his power wasn't the nuclear level that Wilder's was, but i didn't know that chin was so soft.
Butter soft chin our brother has got. When he got a taste of that Mexicano sauce he started wobbling like Grobbelaar.

A40:
I get what you mean. I'm saying his cardio gave him zero chance to get back into the fight.

Whether your chin is made from Adamantium if you've started breathing by your mouth by Round 4 what are your odds of escaping more punishment. The referee could have allowed the fight continue after those Round 7 knockdowns but at what cost?

By that point it was a matter of when not if Ruiz would win

I too chop L today sha.

I set alarm for UCL final cos Na 5am. The match no sweet, i no watch up to 90mins sef.
Go back to sleep, set alarm for AJ fight, AJ do me amaka.

Na Charlamagne Tha God dey vex me now sef.
The guy go so laff AJ.
AJ is worse than Amaka.

A40:
Go and watch the Povetkin fight again. I'm telling you what I observed from his previous fight as well. He was slow and lethargic and in this fight too he lacked the sharpness to even get at Ruiz after knocking him down.

It speaks to how sluggish he was that he could not evade Ruiz and was essentially a sitting duck the final 4 rounds. It was watching a car crash in slow motion. Bear in mind he lost the first two rounds if you ask me

I haven't said AJ didn't have a glass chin so I'm not arguing that

I watched the Povetkin fight this morning.
He started sluggishly and then got better. He also started sluggishly in this one as well, and I would agree with you he lost the 1st 2 rounds too.

However starting sluggishly and losing rounds 1 and 2 have to do with sharpness and not cardio.
Why would you get exhausted in Rd 1?

He was sluggish because his brain was muddled up. Lol
Ruiz reset his brain stem.

A40:
Naah make e no near Wilder at this point. E go die

Very disappointing. He obviously underestimated Ruiz, and of course he paid the iron price.

A40:
Oga that's not the point. This is Heavyweight level and everybody gets hit! I've seen AJ deal with worse hits. My point is he looked gassed even before the hit. His rubbish cardio was why he couldn't get past being hit and had zero chance of getting into the fight

We will have to agree to disagree. You think it was more cardio it seems, and I think it was more chin.

If it was round 8 or beyond maybe one can say more of cardio, not 1st 4 rounds after scoring a knockdown yourself.
A glass jaw is what it is.

A40:
I agreed his chin was suspect hell I even called him Sagamu Frank Bruno but I said his cardio also played a role.

He could barely move around the ring after the first hit. If it was only his chin that was the issue he wouldn't get up that many times. My point is his bad cardio meant he couldn't defend himself he couldn't hit Ruiz nor could he get out of the way.

Fair point. The guy has been exposed. No chin, no stamina and he is fighting amongst giants.

The only way out for him is to work on his defence and learn how to avoid flush hits, cos he can’t face Wilder with that glass jaw.

If he ever faces Wilder what I feared might happen.
He would lead on points because he is the superior boxer until he walks into Wilder’s oath-keeper.

And if Ruiz can turn him into the village drunkard what will Wilder do to him?

A40:
Lool guy AJ has a suspect cardio. It's not this fight e start. He got away with it in the Povetkin fight and the Klitschko fight but credit to Ruiz he stayed on his asssss like a rash

When you start breathing via your mouth by round 3 you will definitely not be coordinated to absorb blows and get your legs under you

He had enough cardio to knock Ruiz down and go for the kill himself. It was after Ruiz knocked him down that he started wobbling all over the place like Osuofia in a 1990s Nollywood movie.

A40:

You obviously didn’t read what I typed.

We all know he has suspect cardio. That he has poor stamina is not news.

But what does suspect cardio have to do with wobbling in round 4, 5 after getting hit. It was all about his chin.
Mind you Round 1-3 they were mainly hugging and exchanging few jabs.

Joshua can’t take a punch. His chin did him in, not his stamina.

A40:
Opin Cinema

See as the guy disgrace Nigeria. Go carry Naija flag embarrass us.

Nihilist come see your cousin o.

A40:
It's not even punch power. What AJ lacks is stamina and the chin. He actually caught Ruiz that first time but got his angles horribly wrong.

AJ is capable of hitting much harder than this. His cardio is suspect. By the 3rd he was already breathing via his mouth

Cardio can’t be suspect in Round 4 of a slow paced match. Was he training on burgers?

We all know AJ has suspect cardio but this was all about a very suspect chin.

And like I always said Wilder has more knockout power. That one should not be an argument again.

Joshua and his struggles with shorter fighters sha.
He can work on that but unfortunately a suspect chin is amuwa olorun.
See as his legs dey wobble like Fido Dido.

A40:
Lmaooooo Deontay Wilder will just be laughing. Chai Sagamu Frank Bruno

I told you guys then that AJ does not have Wilder’s single punch power.
And now we can finally confirm that AJ has a suspect chin.

See Anthony Joshua. Lol

Sissoko is a phool sha. Why was he pointing like a traffic warden?

eph12:
I don't see playing in Europa as a major reason why a player wouldn't sign for a club. The coach only needs to convince the player on how the club plan to get back to winning ways and if possible other transfer targets so the player knows the club is ambitious. I don't think it's that deep

Ordinarily it should not be, but with the calamitous management we have on board I won’t blame any player that hesitated because of that.

If you were a player what plan with Ed use to convince you that he knows what he is doing?

I hope you are right though and it does not matter.
