May be to you sha..

But as for me, Ramsey all day over Sanchez.. Coming back from leg broken and still performed top it all

Ramsey was not even Arsenals best midfielder talk more of best player. Cazorla was Arsenals best midfielder. His injuries coincided with Arsenal falling out of the top four. It's no coincidence.
This is the reason Ceballos is celebrated as a replacement for Santiago. We have moved on from Ramsey just 2 games into the season. Wilock looks more refined than Ramsey, you can only say Ramsey is stronger but that will come with age.

helinues:
Are you an Arsenal fans?

Of course. Although Ramsey left on a good note and will be appreciated but Sanchez was clearly the most influential player durring his time at the club.

helinues:
Majority of Arsenal fans would still appreciate Ramsey than Sachez.. That's a fact

This is a lie. Sanchez ran the Arsenal offense single handedly. Everything Arsenal did going forward depended on him. He can be selfish but he earned that right at Arsenal.
Spitting Arsenal on his interviews and playing the piano durring his unveiling has come back to haunt him. Even RVP these days as a pundit sounds remorseful judging by the way he is always trying to defend Arsenal on TV.
It's a life lesson to everyone. Never bang the door when you're leaving, always keep the door open because you may need to pass through that door someday.

Intriguing. Absolutely intriguing. They should make a movie out of this guy. Reminds me of the wolf of Wall street.

What will be the faith of the boy now? Will he be in the protection house forever since he is an orphan? This lady could be the only family he has after all.
Let's temper justice with mercy on this one.

Aminu was at the forefront of the 156-73 whitewashing. No body want to get humiliated that bad twice. Nigerian basketball is nothing to write home about at the global level and the failed Nigerian state made it so. Forget all this hype about being the best in Africa. We could be much more. Its quite sad. Really.

I'm actually talking about the last Afro basket in Tunisia where we came 2nd. Aminu wasn't part of the team. With him we could have retained the title.

Bottom line remains we are not doing well as a country. Look at the indoor gym they are playing this championship in Senegal, top class gym you have there. In Abidjan, they have anothee world class gym which hosted the Afro basket in 2015. All in West Africa.

Have you seen our national gym at the stadium in Surulere? Elementary schools in Texas have better gyms than that.
This is supposed to be our best facility.

Hakeem Olajuwon was drafted first overall in 1984. I was talking about the WNBA. Trust me, it hurts seeing ones countrymen playing against one's country. Something that will never have happened if only the Nigerian state was a responsible one. Imagine Giannis Antetokounmpo playing against Nigeria in next year's olympics? There are loads and loads of Nigerian players playing topflight basketball in the NBA but No, they will rather go stateless than play for Nigeria. It is sad. And thats is why if anything, I am happy for Gernot Rohr's input into the Super Eagles. He scouts for Nigerians no matter how mixed their bloods are and brings them into the team.

You can't really blame the players. Administratively, we are not getting it right. The leadership tussle in the Nbbf is quite intriguing. So intriguing that we were on a tight rope to be banned earlier this year.

We can't even get enough money to pay the mandatory Insurance license to NBA teams if we are inviting players from there.Al farouk Aminu wasn't part of the last Afro basket because of this. Basketball in the country needs leadership and funding basically.

My thoughts too. She was drafted 5th overall into the WNBA. No Nigerian has ever been drafted that high. At that level, she will be poached by the U.S national team. Just like her many Nigerian male counterparts. The best play for the U.S. We are left with the dregs. Imagine Andre Iguodala, a Nigerian playing against us in 2012 and beating us flawlessly 156 - 73. Its heartbreaking men!

I think Victor Oladipo was 3rd draft by Orlando Magic. It's surprising he's not turning out for Nigeria as he is known to mingle within the Nigerian community, unlike Andre Iguodala who sees himself as black American.

This girl looks the part. She's the real deal. She was unplayable in the short clip. She's on the straight and narrow path to play for America.

greypencils:
She is Nigerian O. And she has been endorsed by nobody less than Kobe Bryant. She most likely might win rookie of the year in WNBA

If that's the case, she maybe too high profile for Nigeria to court. Harsh truth.
I will be on the look out for her though.

Famocious:
Full fledged Nigerian

She deserves a spot in the D'Tigress. The girl can ball.
Hope the authorities and team management can get her in

I wish Arike Ogunbowale can play for Nigeria. She will bring fire

This tournament qualifies teams for the Olympics qualifiers. D'Tigress has now qualified for the Olympics qualifiers.

The winners of this tournament doesn't qualify straight out for the Olympics?

This tournament is also the Olympics qualifiers if I'm correct?

Wow.. Never heard of her since the nude scandal. Rip

jibrilELsudan:
There are still too many questions and things don't add up on both sides.


When this same police special IG unit went to arrest kidnapper Evans, they went with a convoy of at least 5 vehicles and over 20 officers.

So why did they just go with just this bus and less than 10 officers?

Why was there a civilian in their mist and killed alongside them?

Since when does the police go on covert missions with civilians?

When they went to arrest Evans, did they also go on the mission with a civilian?

What was the role of this civilian on this mission?

Was he the driver or conductor?

Since when does police employ a civilian to drive their official police vehicle for an official high profile covert operation?




Is it not possible that these officers went on this mission to actually kidnap the kidnapper and extort him to pay ransom to them?

Oga, you just want to shy away from the obvious with these questions you're asking. The police high command came out to say they were on covert ops to effect the arrest of a suspected kidnapper. The officers must have radioed in to announce they have the suspect in their custody and were on their way back to base with him.
It's tomfoolery to reason the officers went to kidnap a kidnapper.
Please delete this your comment. E no make sense.

The soldiers involved should be put to death. There's no explanation for the kidnap suspect to flee the scene while the policemen where shot dead after identifying themselves.
An express death sentence must be passed on the soilders within 21 days. They have absolutely nothing to explain to the Nigerian state.

This is certainly not about the first incident. I think these guys are in the middle of a gang war. A mafia have put a contract on their heads.

Do you know that Iwobi's 40mill is the highest transfer fee arsenal have received for a player? He broke the previous record of 38mill Barça played for Overmars.
He also holds the highest profit margin since Anelka who was bought for 500k and sold for about 22.5mill a season later. Iwobi bought for 0 pounds and sold for 40mill

Everton actually paid £28M for Iwobi, which could rise to £35M in total. Something like £28M + £7M in add ons.

Icon4s:
I believe he has what it takes to do well at Everton especially if he is played in a central role.

Unfortunately the Everton manager is already mouthing how he sees him as a direct winger.

Why the guy no vamos?

andrew444:
How many bayern players or barca players have promoted players from preseason?

Iheanacho has been consistent for 2 preseason before he get a look into city team, he took his chance with his few 4 and 5 minutes from the bench

Lets see what those player will do, shebi na arsenal fans wey we know wey sabi complain

The chris willock last played for benfica b, he cant even make benfica team when he was 19 then he is not good enough,Jadon sancho was making dortumund team at 18, player wey good good

Yes iwobi might need this move, but for you comparing those players with iwobi, i disagree, shebi epl don already reach nah

Make we go see wetin those player go do for arsenal

Why are you saying Iheanacho was consistent in 2 preseasons but disagree that pre season doesn't count. You always have a way to cris cross and argue against your opinions.

Talking about Barca, make your findings, you will see their academy players who have gone on to feature for the main team had break out starting from a decent pre season.

Anyway sha, by the end of the season we will know which club made the right decision between Everton and Arsenal who finished above each other.
By the way Joe Willock has never played for Benefica B. You're talking about his elder brother.

tbaba1234:
Arsenal's biggest strength offensively was Iwobi and Kolasinac.. Whenever they were absent Arsenal struggled to create. Kolasinac is not great defensively

I agree, but that also was a weakness to the team because they had no variation to their game, both Kolasinach and Iwobi. Kola was always going to cut back and Iwobi cannot really shoot. Wolves, Brighton, Everton, Watford knew all about this and shut them down causing Arsenal to loose out on the champions league places with those straight losses.
Unai tried all kinds of formation but non really clicked.

tbaba1234:
The premier league is a tougher league than the Bundesliga plus look at the number of chances and key passes created by Iwobi last season. Most of Arsenal's danger came from the Iwobi Kolasinac combo..

Anyway, at least the Everton fans will get behind him.

If you're good, you're good. Irrespective of where you're playing. Aubameyang smashed the Bundesliga, came to England and won the top goals scorer in his first season for an OK side.
The left side you pointed out also represents a weakness for Arsenal, that's why we are upgrading with Teinery.

andrew444:
I dont take preseason serious, unplayable against lyon but when he real the real deal the player go dey do like ogbolo

Iwobi is better than those dudes, na you know the person thing wey you get against iwobi, dont know if you are an arsenal fan

Well that's a wrong mentality you have. Pre season is very important for young players who are up for a break out season. For instance, Iheanacho got his big break after a smashing pre season with Mancity in the USA.

Bayern started looking at Chris Willock after his very impressive outing this pre season.

Iwobi has his merits as a player but he needs this move to reinvent himself. He should start by fixing his mentality. Durring the off season he was happy to have set a new personal best of 5 goals and 4 assists for the season. That's a terrifying low bar he set out for himself. He seriously needed this move.

andrew444:
They are not good till they have been given a chance.

You cant compare those guys to iwobi sorry

How can't I compare them? Wasn't Nelson at Bundesliga last year where he scored 7 goals? 4 of them match winners, playing same position as Iwobi in far lesser minutes. What is Iwobi's best return as a pro?

Did you watch Nelson this pre season? The guy was almost unplayable against Lyon.
This is smashing buisness by Arsenal. If they shift Mkitarian, I will consider them back in the elite category of being ruthless.

edi287:
Iwobi is better than them all. Team barely has dribbler and yet they sold one of the best they have.
Well I feel sorry for Nelson and Saka. They'll know just how dumb Arsenal fans can be when they start screwing up...

Better in terms of what exactly? What edge in his game does he have over them if not experience?

andrew444:
At the bolded those ones na player?

E sure me say if those one na regular arsenal go come 10th

Arsenal will never learn

Nawao... You knew Iwobi because he was given a chance by Wenger. Because you don't know these guys doesn't mean they are not good.

tbaba1234:
None of those players are better than Iwobi..

Depends on your benchmark. Nelson scored 7 last season coming from the bench in Germany. Iwobi haven't managed that number in a season all his career. Martineli is highly thought of in Brazil and his numbers as an 18 yr old looks promising.
This deal works for everybody. This a club record for Arsenal.

edi287:
Arsenal are so stupid. They are selling Iwobi without bringing in another winger.
Forget Saka, Nelson and those guys - Iwobi is better.
No UCL for another season.

They are banking on Nelson and Gabriel Martineli to come good. I personally think they might be more productive than Iwobi's 4-5 goals a season, Nelson in particular.
Let's see how well Iwobi performs at Everton.

The soldiers Should not have released the kidnap kingpin on handcuffs. The logical thing to do was to keep him in their custody if they were so convinced the men were not police officers.
I smell a rat
