Okoye ke? The guy just got a move to Eredivisie. Until we actually see him play consistently and do well for Sparta Rotterdam he's still a step below Uzoho. As far as i am concerned he's yet to be tested. As such Okoye and Alampasu are in the same category. cheesy
TheSuperNerd:
Lol.... you can believe what you want to believe Forgiveness but I have just told you the truth. I speak(chat) daily with someone who speaks to Rohr almost daily. Like "daily" and then "almost daily". wink And the person keeps me posted. But it's fine.

Now, Alampasu is at a much lower level and needs to build some consistency before he can be considered. He is not on the level of Uzoho, Okoye and even the new boy Yakubu. Tobias is also working his way up fast. Adeleye is still on the radar but not in better stead now than Yakubu. There is also Osigwe who is an outsider. Options don dey rise.

And Akpeyi is still around but one of these new young lads will displace Akpeyi with time and retire him from the team. That is the goal. Alampasu is only in the conversation as an outsider for now. His time will come if he keeps up his resurgence. Simple as that. And don't forget, this is a lad I also rate well.



And you have already watched the leagues and you want me to accept that Latvian football league quality is as "kwantawa" as the ones in Israel and Slovakia. One must surely be better than the other. Slovakia that gave us Moses Simon and Samuel Kalu. Israel that gave us a good part of Enyeama and Aiyenugba. I just dey look you. grin

Anyway, believe what you want to believe. Na your way. It's fine.

That's a good one right there. Yak was a beast. But looking at the stats again, Drogba come dey like another overhypped African player. cheesy. He barely did better than Yak. That man indeed deserves some props.
andrewbaba44:
Yak will get more goals than drogba playing for a top club

Drogba didn’t even average 1 goal in every 2 epl game ,and yes that doesn’t stop him from being world class or a great player ,but some deluded Chelsea fan are comparing him with Samuel eto ,I just laugh at them ,dude won’t even lace eto boots

Drogba 254 epl games ans 104 goals

Yakubu 252 epl games and 95 goals

Not necessarily. As history would have it, players featuring for average teams and doing very well may not be able to turn out the same performances at a top tier team. An environment that expects very little from you can surprisingly summon some performance demons. On the other hand an environment that expects a lot from one can be one's undoing.
daveP:
Why not? grin

Drogba was compared to Igwe. If so, don't you think this is a more closer and precise comparism? Its true na. 8goals difference


I feel Yak was the better striker, odd as it stands o. I know Drogba oozes frenzy. But the epl stats alone...... Lol


So answer first


If Yak played in Chelsea or Man U, Liverpool, will he or wont surpass Drogba's goals?

Or better still, if they swapped clubs who will score higher?

Yunno we don't really hype Yak here.

Wahala. cheesy. Not easy bros. Most students working alongside their studies teach English at language schools. These are trying times. Given Covid-19, i suppose the number of English teaching opportunities has dropped significantly. You may have to come with enough money to sustain yourself through this period. It should get better when Covid-19 phases out. This timeline is quite uncertain.

You may want to cut down on eating foods that contain al ot of proteins. Some of the unused amino acids may end up there. I would think eating a lot of fruits and vegetables help to reduce the risk. That's the best you can do. Try to reduce the risk as much as possible, also try to check your risk genetically.

To be honest, there's not much you can do. Anything that can prevent the accumulation of toxins in the prostrate. I suppose that's the only reasonable cause. Some claim that drinking fluid form ground onion bulbs could help detoxify it. I am not saying this is a sure way of detoxifying it. Just a suggestion.
DontBullshitMe:

What are those things a man can do to avoid something like this? I don't drink nor smoke too and I have always believed I am not at risk of kidney failure.

Your response will go a long way.

Yes to hell with lazy Pogba. We no go dey convulse whenever we hear say another team want am. cheesy. Maybe him go sit up now.
Leyqute:
Hopefully the midfielders will sit up and know their places in the team isn’t guaranteed now that VDB is here.

Also, Pogba will be free to chase his dreams elsewhere like he’s wanted to.

Henderson is also competition for DDG and Sancho for Rashford, Greenwood and maybe Bruno. The only player with a guaranteed starting shirt right now is, maybe Martial.

__________

And thank God there’s a direction to our transfers now. If Mr. Heritage was still here we’d be chasing the signatures of Bale, James Rodriguez, Willian, Modric and Higuain.

Hian.
European Football (EPL, UEFA, La Liga) › Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by benji93:
I beg to differ. I am able to notice the difference between different classes of goalkeepers.You aren't the only one that watches football. If your argument is based on DDG's slump , there's not much i can say about that. Your assessment is well taken. But i can also say that, as some world-class outfield players subsequently regained their form after a dip, i would expect that some goal keepers can do the same. I'll give you the FA cup, but for the Europa league that's a capital no. Noe of the goals were DDG's fault. I repeat their are some saves that DDG makes especially with his feet, Romero can only dream of it. Let me very clear, i personally believe he should have let Romero man the post vs Sevilla. The guy had been the goalkeeper until that very fixture. It wasn't fair. It even borders on disrespect. I believe Ole doesn't quite like Romero, or doesn't quite rate him as much as he rates DDG. And that happens all the time in football, but as the coach you better hope you keep winning inspite of your preferential treatment. Perhaps Ole was trying to instil confidence into DDG, hoping he'll rediscover his form. If DDG is in form, him no be Romero mate, not even close.

Now can we win spoon with this DDG? Not even a plastic one. cheesy. I hope he rediscovers that form when the premier league restarts. I suppose he can't help but do just that, now that Dean is on his way back.
Expert17:
You don't know much abt GK I guess and you haven't watch Romero that much.




Can you win spoon with this version of Degea?

We would have won or atleast progress to the final of both FA cup and UEL with Romero.
European Football (EPL, UEFA, La Liga) › Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by benji93: 8:40pm On Sep 02, 2020
Good question. It's just what i see.He looks like a good player, that makes some standard saves. Those saves DDG as been fumbling recently. cheesy. But i have not seen him make world-class saves week in week out.

Take am easy now. cheesy. I know you don't want to hear us complain about our overaged players. cheesy. But wait what makes this guy look middle aged? Perhaps you mistaken some deep racial features for being overaged. cheesy. Obviously this one dey very white. Perhaps an Albino. Scholes had some middle-age features when he was younger too. cheesy. But don't worry i'll do some investigashun on this. I have a vested interest in the matter.

European Football (EPL, UEFA, La Liga) › Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by benji93: 7:51pm On Sep 02, 2020
Romero is not a first choice quality for a team looking to compete for titles. You can condemn DDG for his slip in form, which is warranted. Perhaps Ole still thinks that world-class quality is still somewhere in DDG, hoping he'll eventually snap out of his dip in form. Risky, but only time will tell if it was worth.I hope for all our sakes he does. Sometimes you just don't want to let go of anything world-class. Although i believe he should have let Romero start agaisnt Sevilla, but again DDG didn't commit any blunder.
Expert17:

Siting on the bench and watching DDG dropping disaster-class for 2 straight seasons.

This issue will definitely continue. According to a report by ScientificAmerican Fifa has no business testing that shit on us. Subsaharan African teens were not even included in the study that made MRI testing a mainstay in youth football. If this is true, that would be terrible.

Oh yes you are correct, we still have 17, 18 and 19, all after 16. cheesy. So my bad for emphasizing on 16. In fact he claims he started going bald at 25. So the teen specification is probably wrong too. You can provide a counter to this if you have one. I have attached a snippet from dailymail, in which he was quoted. There's a video of his goal against Newcastle in 2005. He was 20 then. And there was no sign of baldness. I have attached a snippet from that match. I just want you to admit that that teen argument wasn't correct. cheesy. Ofcourse he was bald at a very young age, i will give you that much, cheesy and according to him, at 25.
Danielnino00:
U are putting too much efforts into this thing because you quoted me out of context..
I never said Rooney started getting bald at 16..

I said "Rooney as a teenager looked older than his age because of his baldness".

Rooney started getting bald at a young age.. At 25, he had already lost a lot of hair and had to do transplant...

Sports › Re: "The Super Eagles Thread: The Road To AFCON 2027, 2028 And 2030 World Cup by benji93: 7:34pm On Sep 01, 2020
You people surprising have a way of presenting information in a lopsided manner. cheesy. Perhaps if you had tried to actually read my reply you won't have attached that snippet. I said a receding hairline doesn't necessarily mean baldness is imminent. Here's a snippet for you. The first two lines.

Sports › Re: "The Super Eagles Thread: The Road To AFCON 2027, 2028 And 2030 World Cup by benji93: 7:26pm On Sep 01, 2020
You don't get it man. My argument was never about whether baldness doesn ot start showing at a young age. The last itme i checked 20 is a young adult. literature says that for the extremes baldness usually starts to show in the early 20s. Ofcourse some may already start showing it even at 20. My problem was with you saying his baldness began showing at 16. That i disagree with. That i call misinformation. When you wanna present facts, do nto exaggerate. DOn't just throw numbers around with the assumption that itm ust be true. Do osme fact checking. That was why added the pictures to show you that he wasn't showing signs of baldness when he was 16. Again baldness does nto include the sides of the head. It's the middle.
Danielnino00:
Oga, Rooney started getting bald at a young age...

I am sorry ooo, your point exactly? I just added pictures in which there were no signs of baldness. Perhaps you didn't read my entire reply. My problem was with his argument that he was already getting bald at 16 which i disagree.
Subzero047:

Sports › Re: "The Super Eagles Thread: The Road To AFCON 2027, 2028 And 2030 World Cup by benji93: 7:03pm On Sep 01, 2020
My people never learn. cheesy. Because of you I go fact check again.
1. Baldness does not occur around the sides of the head. It's in the middle. Abi are we not talking about the same baldness? cheesy
2. The picture you just showed is of Rooney when he was probably 12. Baldness doesn't start manifesting that early. I stand to be corrected on this one. That would be very rare if it ever occurs.That may just have been the appearance of his hair after shaving a week or so back in time.
3. Besides a receding/receded hairline around the sides and fore even ad an advanced age doesn't necessarily mean baldness.

I hope you would have done some actual research before providing a counter argument.good luck.

Make i digress small. Remember say the phase in of Messi overlapped with "Ronadinho's" era of glory, so it was kind of a passing of the baton from one great player to a greater one. We don't have such a situation at the moment. Why you think say Guardiola fit flex send Ronaldinho packing? cheesy. Honestly, i believe this wasn't planned. Messi is an anomaly, and it will be a long time before anyone like him comes around again. You made reference to good players. That's the best you can hope for. Just saying the smooth transition from Ronadinho and Eto to Messi, the extraordinary midfield trio and the Appetizer in Villa, cheesy, then the coming in of the Brazilian Neymar made it seem as if greatness never left. My point is you are gonna be restarting again. That's akin to wandering in the wilderness. cheesy
