Sports / Can Man Utd Complete Transfer Of One This Before Deadline Time? by aremodtwo(m): 11:35am On Aug 31, 2016 |
Monaco's Fabinho and Southampton's Jose Fonte has been heavily linked with the 20 times premier league winner under new boss Jose Mourinho. After securing the signature of Villareal former defender Eric Bailly,the United new boss still looks to bolster his defense. Meanwhile an insider of the reds disclosed that "Jose had been told to release two senior team players before adding to his side". Considering the amount the red devils has so far spent this summer,he will not be allowed to sign any player if no senior player live the club considering the wages. The red devils haven't shown any interest as the south side are yet to receive bid from the side. Fonte said early this season that being linked with a team like united is a reason to be flattered. However Fabinho looks more likely to join Jose's side as the left-back shares agent with the red devils boss. La liga gaint Villareal looks to be in for Marcos Rojo with a deal said to be agreed between the two parties. |

European Football (EPL, UEFA, La Liga) / Analysing Eric Bailly And Daley Blind's Partnership For Manchester United by aremodtwo(m): 8:28pm On Aug 28, 2016 |
With all the splashy attacking signings and
excitement around Manchester United's start to the
season, a couple of relatively unsung heroes have
been quietly going about their business in the heart
of the defence.
Few would have expected Daley Blind and Eric Bailly
to form United's first-choice centre-back partnership
for the first three Premier League games of Jose
Mourinho's tenure, but that is exactly what they have
done.
And they have done it to a high level.
United's 1-0 win over Hull City on Saturday came with
the kind of attacking intent and injury-time
breakthrough that used to be synonymous with the
club. The strikers will get many of the plaudits, and
rightly so, but Bailly and Blind were a significant part
of the victory.
Indeed, Bailly was voted man of the match by
followers of the club's Twitter account. On that basis,
it is probably a misnomer to describe the defenders
as unsung heroes given Bailly also won that award
against Leicester City in the Community Shield
and Bournemouth on the opening day of the season.
Based on that kind of support, he is a shoo-in for
player of the month for August.
So just why is the partnership working so well?
The first point that has to be made is they have not
yet come under any kind of sustained assault, so
what we are dealing with is early-season promise
rather than definitive proof this partnership is the
future of United's defence. But so far, they are
complementing each other beautifully, enhancing
each other's strengths and mitigating each other's
weaknesses.
As is the system as a whole. Squawka's Dave O'Brien
pointed out after the Southampton game that
Marouane Fellaini is regularly dropping deep to
provide aerial cover for Blind. Against Hull, it was a
slightly different story.
Whereas three of the aerial duels he won against the
Saints were right in front of Blind's position in the left
side of defence, against Hull he was often covering
on the right, filling in when Antonio Valencia made
his frequent forward runs. Instead, it was Paul Pogba
going up for headers in front of Blind.
Perhaps this is a function of a slightly more defensive
role for Pogba on the road, though he did get
forward plenty too.
Either way, it is evidence that Mourinho's tall,
powerful midfielders are offering plenty of protection
to their defenders.
There are a couple of interesting tactical shifts from
the Louis van Gaal era that are making a difference
too. Defenders clearly have fewer responsibilities in
terms of providing direct ammunition to the forward
players.
Van Gaal considered his centre-backs to be a key part
of the possession-oriented build-up play that proved
so ineffective. Mourinho, on the other hand, clearly
has Blind and Bailly under orders to let the
midfielders start attacks.
Time and again against Hull, when Bailly got over the
half way line, he would pick a simple pass to a nearby
player and retreat back into position. The same, to a
slightly lesser extent, was true of Blind. The job
description has seemingly changed somewhat, and
the emphasis is back on defending.
That is entirely appropriate given the balance of the
team. In Bailly's case it is also pertinent given how
good he is at it.
The number of defensive actions a player undertakes
is of questionable statistical value given how much it
is affected by the balance of play in a game, the
team's structure and quality of opposition.
But for what they are worth, these are the Ivorian's
stats so far. In three Premier League games, he is
averaging 2.3 tackles—succeeding with 100 per cent
of his attempts to tackle—three interceptions, 0.3
blocked shots, 0.3 blocked passes and 5.3 clearances
per game.
He has committed just 1.3 fouls per game, and his
pass-completion percentage from an average of 37
passes per game is 95.5.
Incidentally, both he and Blind have played every
minute so far, hence presenting these numbers as
average per game rather than average per 90
minutes.
There have been key interventions in among those
numbers, particularly in terms of tackling. At
Wembley Stadium, he dispossessed Leicester's Jamie
Vardy in the box at a crucial moment, and he has
made important challenges in all three league games.
Against Hull, his 62nd minute tackle on Abel
Hernandez was superbly timed and perfectly
executed.
He has the speed of thought and body to react when
Blind needs cover too. The Netherlands international
relies more on the former when Bailly is in trouble.
In the 46th minute against Hull, the Ivorian was
caught slightly out of position and Blind was instantly
able to recognise the danger and run into position to
deny the opposition space for a shot.
It was an example of his intellect compensating for
his lack of physical speed.
Blind's numbers so far this season read as follows:
an average of two tackles, 2.3 interceptions, 5.3
clearances, 1.7 passes blocked, 0.3 crosses blocked
and 0.3 shots blocked per game. He has yet to
commit a foul and has completed 90.3 per cent of his
average of 51.3 passes per game.
They are ostensibly similar numbers to Bailly's, but
the nature of his tackling is so different. Bailly's style
is pure 21st century centre-half, reviving the art of
the slide tackle previously thought to have been lost
by applying a level of Swiss-watch precision timing to
his physicality.
Blind, on the other hand, has become more adept at
repositioning strikers with smart deployment of his
centre of gravity. He is not going to win an out-and-
out battle of strength with many of the division's best
strikers, so he avoids getting into them.
It is almost inevitable he will have bad games again
think Watford at Old Trafford last season and
the Tottenham Hotspur and West Ham
United matches on the road. But against teams
playing one up front, in games in which United are on
the front foot, he and Bailly look assured and able.
The next test facing the pair, assuming the remainder
of the transfer window does not spring a huge
surprise, will be the Manchester derby on September
10. With Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola no
doubt forensically studying the partnership for
weaknesses, and his side blessed with plenty of
attacking talent, it should be a pretty stern test.
And in truth, some element of judgement on the
success or otherwise of the Blind-Bailly pairing
should be reserved for after the derby. If they can
impress together in that setting, it will be time to take
them seriously indeed.
For now, they deserve plenty of praise. Although it is
still early in their career together, they could not have
got off to a much better start. 2 Likes |

Sports / See Season Pogba Ought Not To Have Signed Deal. by aremodtwo(m): 6:22pm On Aug 12, 2016 |
The France international who just completed a world-record deal of 89million pounds from Juventus to the english giant club were he left for the Italian side four year ago. Paul Pogba might have made a good move but not too good at the moment of his career, this is a player who wants to be a world best player. United at the moment is a team which is witnessing transformation, during Louis Van Gaal first season we thought thing will be fine again but its never easy to climb the top again for a big team that allows such damage. Manchester united is currently out of champions leagues football which means, Paul Pogba will not be play the CL. The english premiership is not enough to sell your name to the world, many new Pogba when Juve reached the quater-final of the 2014 CL. With Jose Mourinho it is still a matter of maybe will united restore the strength and be like the Alex squad again. United has spent a lot this summer transfer by bring the likes of Bailly, Herikh, Ibra and Pogba but other club are also spending and strengthening their team like them. If united fail to perform as expected Paul might blame himself for the move and will be condemned by words of mouth. United might have landed a world class Pogba but for a wrong fee, he is not that kind of player who can win a match or even give 20goals a season. If the striker fails he cannot change or win a game by goal unlike the great Lampard. Among the top 5most expensive footballer the No 1 can score less while others scores and win matches. United need Pogba but Pogba deserves a better club, man utd is not a stable club like Madrid, Barcelona or even Bayern. It will take some time to restore the reds and Pogba is not getting younger for Ballon d or. 1 Like |

Sports / Pogba Transfer Is An Insult To Humanity by aremodtwo(m): 8:41pm On Aug 11, 2016 |
The Frenchman's move to Manchester United and
Gonzalo Higuain's €90 million transfer to Juventus
merely underline that 'the beautiful game' is uglier
than ever before When AC Milan broke the world transfer record in the summer of 1992 by paying approximately €15.2 million for Torino winger Gianluigi Lentini, the Vatican labelled the sum "an offence to the dignity of work". Of course, for the Catholic Church of the time to take such a moralistic stance has transpired to be the height of hypocrisy but there was no denying that the fee was outrageous, as were the circumstances surrounding the deal. Lentini's San Siro switch represented the third time that the transfer record had been broken that summer, with Milan having acquired Jean-Pierre Papin from Marseille before Juventus responded by signing Sampdoria striker Gianluca Vialli. The two bitter rivals then became locked in a bidding war for Lentini. It was little more than a billionaire p***ing contest which ridiculously saw a talented but unproven 23-year-old become the most expensive player of all time. Football, it seemed, had spiralled out of control. The spending, however, has only become more reckless and offensive over the past 24 years. The beautiful game is uglier than ever before. Shortly after midnight on Monday, Manchester United confirmed that they had reached an agreement with Juventus to re-sign Paul Pogba for a fee of €105m. From a footballing and financial perspective, there are grounds for justifying such an exorbitant fee. Pogba is one of the finest midfielders in the world and he has his peak years ahead of him. He is also among the most marketable young sportsmen on the planet and will generate millions in merchandise sales and commercial deals. He will likely make most of the money back without having to win a trophy. But on a purely human level, it is impossible to defend this deal - particularly in the current economic and political climate. Arsene Wenger was right when he argued that the Pogba deal "is completely crazy if you compare it to normal life". Jose Mourinho immediately retorted that it was "not ethical" for other managers to be critical of other clubs’ spending, which, on one level, was amusing, given there is no place in an ethical debate for a man who eye-gouged a fellow coach and helped drive an innocent referee and a skilled medical professional out of the game. Furthermore, just as United are free to pay over €105m for one player and Juve €90m for another in the shape of Gonzalo Higuain, the rest of us have the right to comment on disturbingly high transfer fees. Indeed, the fact United, Juventus, Real Madrid, Barcelona, Bayern Munich and Paris Saint- Germain can afford to pay such sums doesn't make it right. Football has long existed within its own bubble; it is not, as Wenger noted, "normal life". However, the sport is now becoming ever more detached from reality and that should concern everyone involved. We presently reside in a world of great financial and social instability. Greece, for example, remains on the verge of economic collapse, with an unemployment rate of just under 25 per cent and just under half of their 14-28-year-olds neither in employment nor education. Youth unemployment in France has hovered at around 25% since the 2008 financial crisis, according to Eurostat. There is widespread uncertainty across the continent following the United Kingdom's decision to withdraw from the European Union, with the British pound immediately losing around 12% of its value. Millions of asylum seekers live in abject poverty and a constant state of fear, while racial tensions in the United States are at their highest for 50 years. In such circumstances, it is becoming increasingly difficult for the average man to relate to those running and playing the game we love - and therein lies the danger of complete collapse. In one of the seminal scenes in Robert De Niro’s criminally underrated 'A Bronx Tale', local mafia kingpin Sonny LoSpecchio asks the nine-year-old Calogero Anello why he is so invested in the fortunes of the New York Yankees, and superstar centre fielder Mickey Mantle in particular. "Mickey Mantle makes a $100,000 a year - how much does your father make?" LoSpecchio enquires. "You see if your father can't pay the rent, go ask Mickey Mantle and see what he tells you. Mickey Mantle doesn't care about you - so why should you care about him? Nobody cares." Calogero admits: “I never thought the same way about the Yankees again.” This is the perilous position in which football now finds itself: on the verge of alienating the very people that fund the whole enterprise. And it has been a long time coming. 1 Like |
Sports / Sunderland Sign Exceptionally Talented Manchester United Duo by aremodtwo(m): 7:50pm On Aug 11, 2016 |
Sunderland are looking to capitalize on the massive
clear out of young talent that is likely to take place at
Manchester United following the arrival of new
Manager Jose Mourinho, and former boss David
Moyes has moved quickly to acquire the services of
Paddy McNair and Donald Love for a virtual steal at
just £5.5 million.
21 year old McNair, a Northern Ireland international,
who impressed last season under Manager Louis van
Gaal, made 27 appearances for United and even
played at Euro 2016, but has been shown the door by
Jose Mourinho, and has been picked up by
Sunderland on a 4 year contract.
Joining McNair at the Stadium of Light is another 21
year old defender in Donald Love, a versatile Scottish
young international capable of playing at full back or
in midfield.
The duo are Sunderland's second and third signings
under Moyes, after the former Everton and
Manchester United Manager signed powerful
Senegalese centre back Papy Djilobodji from Chelsea
for £8 million.
Speaking about his twin capture, Moyes said, "I want
to add some young players to the squad as well as
some senior players and both of them have got really
good potential and the opportunity to improve. I
want to bring in players who are here for the long
term as well as the short and hopefully these two are
here for the long term."
Sunderland are also tipped to be plotting a move for
Manchester United winger Adnan Januzaj who is
looking to leave the club this summer after a
disappointing loan spell at Borussia Dortmund last
year.
The Belgian international, once tipped to be the next
Ryan Giggs, is also on Mourinho's chopping block. |

Mourinho has promised to abstain from using
Instagram until Christmas because he is focusing on

"I finish tomorrow," he told BT Sport in an interview
recorded on the eve of the Community Shield.
"Of course, tomorrow starts. Now I get serious, fun
stops. I will be back for Christmas. I will share a nice
family picture at Christmas and now no more fun.
"You experience the feel of the people [on
Instagram]. It is good to understand the dynamic
and understand why my players are so much in love
with it and the reason why I cannot stop them to do
it." |

2015 Ogitech admission thread was wonderful. I'm sure 2016 admission thread will be a great experience for candidates. Ogun state institute of technology is an underdog school with great learning environment for student across Nigeria. Students who had ND certificate in Ogitech have been highly respected in any school they further proceed for HND. However the schools' management is working on the accreditation of many departments for HND courses, such as mass comm, marketing, mechanical engineering etc. In Ogitech they teach you until you understand they don't lecture. Be part of those who will resume for the 2016/17 session. Stop running around for big name schools. What you will learn and know matters than the big name certificate and be one of those student that will make Ogitech a big name school. Call Jonathan Oladimeji (ass.of mass comm student president) for admission processing for any course you desire. |
