Arsenal don't have the legal right to access Suarez contract papers. It's the information from the agent the club will follow. We took the matter to PFA who then looked at the clause and decided Liverpool interpretation was the correct one.
What I'm saying is this ; an agent will not just walk up to u and tell u my player has a buy out clause of 20m with word of mouth, he will show u an evidence of such contract in place. You then carefully study it and look at it and see if his claim is correct or not.

It's just like going for a job interview where u are asked Ur current annual earnings. You may tell them 5m with a status car at the various stages of the interview and use it to bargain let's say 7m + an SUV. Before giving u the offer the company will definitely ask for Ur previous employment latter/ recent pay slip to confirm Ur claim. They don't just believe Ur claim na.

So saying arsenal rely solely on what the agent interpreted is somehow unbelievable. Except the way football contract works is quite different from what we are made to underatsnd

I said it already the agent misinterpreted the clause and gave the club wrong information.
You don't pin such things on agents. Arsenal have people who work in legal who understand the terms of contracts. Why do u rely on the agent's interpretation of a contract u want to buy a player out of?

Why didn't our legal look at the contract too before make ing such laughable offer?

See arsenal fumbled and loserpool ensured they mad us laughing stock by publicizing the offer.

A car that was set at 1.4, you made him pay more.
Nobody bids 1.4m. The highest bidder wins. People made bid of ₦1,465,000.00. If he had bidded ₦1.4m he would've missed out on a very great opportunity. Most of his colleagues who lost the bid are locking their wound

Why won't you people understand this is not a bid process or bargain example. A fixed buy out clause in a contract is not negotiable. It doesn't have to be reasonable they just had to fulfill what the contract demanded. If it was stated clearly in Suarez contract that any bid above 40million Suarez could leave the club then arsenal triggered the clause with the 40million + 1 pound simple as that. The agent gave Arsenal wrong interpretation of the contract clause.
Even you are still wrong.

It was actually not a buy-out clause, it was just a sum stated in his contract that will trigger discussions. The way it was supposed to work is this; once an offer in the excess of £40m is received, they were supposed to inform Suarez and open discussions.

As far as loserpool is concerned, the £1 is insulting and decided not to even open discussion with arsenal cos they assume nothing good will come out of the discussion

Bad financial advice.

There was auction too last year at my office for used 2hp AC. I told a junior colleague to bid N15,000, he was like will it work? I asked, what would you lose? He did and won. He wanted to bid N75,000
Oga we are talking of a Toyota Corolla 2013 model here. A vehicle that was bought brand new and was disposed immediately the net book value became zero after 3 years.


Go and check the tokunbo value and come back to tell me if it's a bad financial advice. Do u think I major in sciences?

Because they stopped them from praying in Katsina, they attacked and burnt a police station and properties. Don't underate the power of illiterates in large numbers.

Awolowo tried for south west.
Bros I served in the north, the level of ignorance among the general populace is alarming. The way they take religion is to the extreme.

Someone pointed to an uncompleted building overrun by thick grass at the main point of entry into the town; he said that was supposed to be a Winners Church. The people protested that A church cannot be the first major building visitors should see while coming into the town, so they asked them to halt building almost at the point of completion and allocated another land to them at the outskirts of the town where the church is now. I just shook my head and marvel at the kind of people we share country with.

I know enforcing that social distancing will never work in that part of the country except soldiers are drafted from war front to come and enforce it. Those people do not regard police Jare. All these rubbish you see SARS doing in the south they can't even do half of it before they will burn their area command.

Blame Suarez agent for the mis information not the club. His agent said anything above 40million would trigger the clause. The problem was it was not a factual clause but misinformation towards Arsenal by Suarez' agent. He specifically told them anything more than 40m would trigger the clause, even one pound, but it did not.
What are you even saying? Everybody knows it's just like a normal bid process, when the seller pegs the minimum for £40m it is only normal for you as a prospective buyer to better that minimum asking price with something reasonable.

£1 in Suarez's case is not reasonable by all standards. Adding £1,000,000.00 to that wouldn't have made Arsenal bankrupt. Whoever sanctioned that bid be it Wenger or the board is to blame for the deal going south.

A vehicle was put up for bidding at a friend's workplace recently. The asking price was 1.4m, my friend wanted to bid 1.450m but I told him to do 1.470m to show seriousness. He did and won the bid. That's how u show seriousness in the market, not giving insulting offers

It's been about 5 years since I last ate Macaroni ( other than when it's in a salad)

I remembered one of the the gift packs I got in December which I still have in my possession ought to have macaroni in it alongside other Honeywell products. So I decided to give macaroni a try after a long while.

So here is my brunch : Macaroni taken with ẹja kika + Ponmo sauce.( It's brunch cos I didn't wake until almost 11 am grin)

If he won't commit sell him for younger replacement, young players have a way of complementing each other.
They learn from each other mistakes and improve just look at saka and martinelli combination.
The 2 are not playing in preferred position but still manage to deliver their best
As in.....Auba is not getting younger and for his quality, at this age he should at least be playing in a team that guarantees him semi final place in the champions league. Now he's playing for arsenal in the Europa league. His refusal to commit to the club is understandable and shouldn't be held against him.

It is the club tgat should do the needful and make the scouts earn the money they are being paid; they should get a replacement and let's continue the rebuilding process. We will only be making a mistake trying to convince him to stay with heavy salary like we did for ozil
European Football (EPL, UEFA, La Liga) › Re: Arsenal Fans Thread: The Red & White Army: 2025/2026 EPL Champions! by BlueRayDick: 10:43am On Mar 29, 2020
I believe most people know my stand on Auba matters.

Auba is arguably our best player for 2 consecutive years now, while he is not as skillful/technical as some of the strikers of other big clubs like Benzema, Suarez, Rashford, Firminho etc, he has proven to be a dependable goal machine that has been bailing us out even under "Good Ebening's" purposeless football Era. We all know selling him would have a really negative impact on our rebuilding process.

However, with the above said you and I know it is counter productive trying to keep player who is no longer committed to the club. At least we saw that in Alexis' last season at arsenal ; at a point it looked as if he was deliberately giving the ball to opponents after showboating for minutes with no resukt to show.

I will support the sale of a non-commiting Auba for anything around the region of 60m and above, while we get not just a replacement for him but also quality players in other positions like midfield. We need to stop relying solely on our striker to score, our midfielders too need to contribute more goals. We need players who would step up on a day the striker is having a bad day and firing blanks. Like somebody suggested up there, let's clear dead woods like Mkhitaryan, El Neny, Mustafi and Co. Let's have a balanced team first.

With a balanced team, the striker's position will not be as important as it is presently at arsenal. Loserpool has a balanced team which was what we saw in their run to winning the champions league last season. Players like Wijnaldum, Fabinho, Alexander- Arnold would just turn up while Sallah or Mane are not hitting the targets. Let's improve our team in other positions and get a replacement for Auba and see how it goes.

This is a serious issue raised here.

Even here if they are not totally convinced, you won't be tested for Corona as shortage of kits is everywhere.

Even my wife couldn't do any test and she has to be measuring her temperature periodically and send through the portal, as she works from home.

32 asymptomatic crew members tested like that? sad This calls for investigation.
Unfortunately this is Nigeria and no investigation will be carried out. Nigerians will prefer to rather focus on praying for Chioma's recovery than calling for an investigation into this alleged medical corruption.

I'm some would've gone to the lady's social media handles to be bugging her sef for revealing the fraudulent system

What do u have to say about this?

Seems we have brought our normal "mago-mago" ways into determining who and who is qualified for testing based on this Lady's assertion.

Davido and his crew despite their travel history were supposed to self-quarantine for at least 14 days before being qualified for testing, but alas they already got tested

Education › Re: What Was Your Most Embarrassing Moment In A Class? by BlueRayDick: 2:08am On Mar 29, 2020
While in primary 4, there is this Yoruba man who was my class teacher ( I can't remeber his name now) . Now there is this Ghanian( Mr. Samuel) who is the class teacher for primary 5. So one fateful day Mr Samuel left his class to pay my class teacher a visit. Mr Samuel while discussing with our teacher was chewing on an apple but he was surprisingly eating it without the green part; he would bite a chunk use his teeth to peel the greens, spit it out while eating the inner part alone .

I don't even know why I didn't just look away, then I told few friends around me that Mr Samuel is a bush man cos that's not how to eat apples. I told them he's a bush man for not knowing the green part is equally healthy as the inner part. Suddenly a girl just sprang up and said she was going to "tell" cos I called Mr. Samuel a bushman. I tried begging her but this girl would've known of it.

Then she walked up to to Mr Samuel and told him point blank " BRD says u are a bush man because of the way you eat your apple" Choi! Even as little as I was then, I was embarrassed. Mr Samuel called me out and said my father is a bush man. In his words " Your feather is a bush men" * Ghanaian accent*

I kid you not, Mr Samuel sure knows how to whip a child and make him weep. He gave me 6 strokes of the cane on my back. I usually do not cry when I get caned and I was determined to the reputation that day, but it didn't happen. Immediately I got to my seat while rubbing my back in serious pain, my loyal friends were comforting me and threatening to deal with the girl for being a snitch. Then the girl came to join and beg me; at this point I cried ooo...in fact I wept bitterly.

I was totally embarased by the dress down in front of the class and then the weeping that followed. Anyways I was happy when the second term result came out,I came first while the yeye girl was 23rd in a class of 31 grin

Anyways I've learnt to keep my opinion about people to myself and not say it around a 3rd ear.
Politics › Re: I Don’t Know If Sanwo-Olu Has Gone For Coronavirus Test Or Not – Commissioner by BlueRayDick: 1:09am On Mar 29, 2020
How can you not know as the commissioner for information.

The governor has been exposed to an infected person recently. At least he was in the same meeting as El Rufai who recently tested positive.

The responsible thing for him to do is to go for the test and announce the result to Lagosians like other governors who have been tested did. I know he may be worried if he goes for the test and he tests positive, he may need to go into isolation and the efforts he's made concerning fighting the pandemic in Lagos State may be slowed down, but he should remember there is a reason he has deputy.

Sanwoolu should go for the test like he's been admonishing those who feel they've been exposed to an infected person.

Then the commissioner should be on top of his game. He is only in that position because he's expected to know and always have answers

Lets be careful with making certain comments that are sensitive especially with limited information.

Bellerin has a girlfriend and I think she is a fashion model, they have been together for a while now (3-4 years). They both are both young and "fashion forward" which explains Bellerin's daring sense of fashion.

Look up Shree Patel for more.
