Benard94: I was at the GT Bank today (OAU, ILE-IFE branch) to deposit a sum of money. I went with a private bike to the bank. It has been continually emphasized that public bikes are not allowed at the bank’s car park (although no symbolic indication there). On this day, I was about parking this bike of mine on the slab as I use to do. Apart, I met another bike on this same slab and I have once being told by a security man that private bikes are allowed on the slab. One of the bank security men approached with harsh and commanding tone, “get out! Don’t park there! Leave there now!” Being in a hurry to deposit the money as my friend is waiting to cash it in Lagos; I didn’t utter a word, parked and entered the bank for the transaction. On coming out of the bank, I discovered this particular GT bank security man has contacted the school security (OAU) to take away the bike on the ground of arguing with him.
After discovering this, I went back to the bank to report the case to the branch manager. He asked me to wait and kept calling the security man to come in for about two times. When I discovered this man didn’t regard the manager, I told the manager I don’t have all day. He replied “don’t you see I have called him to come? If you can’t wait, go and meet him yourself or do what you like”. I was highly bewildered; the manager has no grip over his security man. This bike was confiscated and I have to trek some km back to my house today. This is a bank with which I have accounts in naira and hard currencies. What should I do? PLS ADVICE

what's the name & number of this security officer? a GTB exec is highly interested in this case.

CFCfan: @coogar: I think Germany can go all the way in Brazil if Mertesacker is no where near their starting line up. Also, not many team's can withstand a midfield of Schweinsteiger, Ozil, Khedira.

they would be lucky to make the semis...
the climate down there does not suit europeans.

chic2pimp: It's a well known fact that we are Germany's bogey team. However that does not take away from the fact we are currently a level beneath the Germans. That could change come 2014 as the Azzuris tend to do better in tournaments than during qualifications(proven major tournaments team).

germany have no level.
if the italians don't self-destruct with balotelli, they should be very fine. germany couldn't win it on their home soil, is it in brazil that they would win it? the last world cup germany won was a fraud! a penalty at the death in a final against argentina. UEFA's desperate attempt to ensure a european team won it on european soil.

El Guapo: [color=#0066ff]Literally, Brazil?[/color]

i cannot see past them - the atmospheric pressure in those south american countries puts europeans, africans & asians at a disadvantage. no european country has won any world cup in south america.

if argentina could buy a defence, they should be favourites. brazil are strong throughout. uruguay? it depends on the form of forlan, suarez & cavani. italy & spain are the only hope in europe. germany stand no chance at all. belgium are the equivalent of bulgaria '94 team or croatia in 98.

nitlad: Mr Azzuri doesn't even know 'his team's' eternal bïtches. . . .

mr azzuri is an amnesiac!!
balotelli räped the demons out of germany about a year ago & knocked them out like tyson did spinks!

belgium are nice but they have no right back that is decent. spain & brazil should be favourites but i think a non-european team would win it.

chic2pimp: England in the same boat as the AZZURI ke? Not impossible. England are definitely a tier below us.

We are definitely no where near the likes of Spain,Brazil or Germany but neither are we in the England bracket abeg.

when was the last time germany beat italy in a game that matters?

mechummy: Like seriously

vladimiros: FOR ANY IDIOTIC NIGERIANS

THE BRITISH ROYAL FAMILY BRINGS IN 1.5 bILLIOPN POUNDS IN TOURISM

they bring in £500m in tourism annually & the royal family spend about £200m annually. she's earned the right to every penny of her pay rise.

Katsumoto: How can Dayo state that Owen was better than Henry? A one legged Henry was better than Owen on any given day.

dayo is a goat....
he just loves to argue - the fraud behind football awards are just too glaring to ignore....

look at cannavaro for instance, he won ballon d'or in 2006 and everyone was shocked. FIFA came with their excuse that his world cup performance that year made him the most outstanding player as italy only conceded 2 goals en route their world cup victory.

then came 2010....
puyol was also the kingpin in the defence when spain won their world cup. puyol's defence also conceded just 2 goals throughout the world cup. how come puyol was omitted when the awards were announced later in the year?

dayokanu: Mamadou Diarra was bought for how much?

way less than the amount chelsea paid for essien & drogba. madrid paid 26m euros for diarra in 2006. the equivalent in pounds then was around £17m. anderson of united at 19 even cost more so what's the party about?

And genuises working low paying jobs is because of their skin colour

what a dork!!!
geniuses working low paying jobs do not have the opportunity. it's not necessarily about skin colour. there are first class graduates in naija working as teachers whilst 3rd class grads are working in top organisations. you still don't understand the concept of opportunity...

dayokanu: You are very senseless. Awards are given for performances within a yr. It doesnt matter if henry is a better player What matters is who was the better player in the yr under consideration. Ribery won the UEFA best player, Is he better than Ronaldo or Xavi No the fact is that during the yr under consideration Ribery was better nothing to do with the players skin or aesthetic appeal.

you are a troglodyte....
the midwife should have just intravenously fed you with cyanide. how was henry not better in those years he kept coming 2nd till he said he would stop going for those awards?

In 2001 Owen was better than henry. Owen won the UEFA cup, put up a heros performance in the FA cup when Henry was woeful

you are a disgusting piece of turd...
how's owen better than henry in 2001? did owen win the league? no. if winning the FA cup & the uefa cup is the criteria to winning ballon d'or, how come players that put in hero's performances in these competitions haven't won it. since when has winning an inferior competition to the champions league a yardstick to winning ballon d'or?

Because Africa does not have any player that good. if a player like Weah is available now he would be commanding high fees. Essien and Drogba were commanding 25-30m almost a decade ago

essien & drogba were £24m each.
where you got your £30m from is another one of your fact distortion. 2 years before then, rio ferdinand(defender) was valued at£30m. you should be ashamed for even bringing up drogba's £24m when rooney at 18 was £30m in the same year.

The tripe you posted deserves no response. Show any year an African was outstanding and got overlooked for awards

drogba won the champions league almost single-handedly in 2012. the criteria used to choose kaka in 2007 should have been used to choose drogba in 2012 but a player from the team drogba scored against won it....

Because owen didnt contend with Messi and Ronaldo that Drogba had to deal with

what a fool you must be....
shouldn't this thing work with a standard criteria? if a player wins X, Y, Z then he should win an award? why does the goalpost move every year?

The best student in my UNILAG in 2003 might be inferior to the 5th best in 2009. Still doesnt change he was the best in his year.

this is why many pundits say you are foolish.
it's not about who the best student is....it's about criteria. you cannot tell me a student that scored 3.56CGPA should get first class in 2003 & then say another student must get 4.99CGPA to get the same first class.

there has to be a standard criteria - like it is in the academic world. if you score more than 4.500CGPA, you should be a first class student. the season kaka won ballon d'or, he scored only 8 goals in his league. we were told then his CL performance won it for him. when sneijder's CL performance won it for inter, sneijder was overlooked. when drogba's CL performance won it for chelsea, he was also overlooked.

why are the criteria for football awards so vague without a set standard?

You keep displaying the stupidity poster with pride. Is the award for strikers alone? Between 2004 and 2006 regardless of what Etoo did, Ronaldinho was always the better player. I have surely seen smarter gorrilas than this tool

you are a rank idïot for writing such nonsense. when did ronaldinho ever outscore etoo @ barcelona? who was scoring those goals for barcelona? who was the arrowhead that made defences suffer under rijkaard? if it's about playmaking, how come xavi isn't considered better than messi in the past few years?

Was carroll the best English player when he commanded the highest British transfer fee or were others not whiter than him? Morron

you are defeating your own argument....
i should be the one telling you this - you are the halfwit that is linking value with ability. you opine if african players are good enough, they would have value & be considered for awards.

Top clubs look for players who fit their profiles. They are not there for charity or to balance ethnicity

of course - no wonder bayern purchased kostadinov & gurrero. they both fit the bayern DNA & surely karbayisson fitted arsenal's DNA. if you marry a tool like you, you would produce idïots.

Mikel from the same ethnic group as Okocha attracted top clubs why didnt the ethnic card work for him. Okocha was simply not talented enough to play for a top club

mikel had the opportunity, okocha did not. i am sure you also think kanu was better than yekini. surely, yekini must have been spotted by a top side, how come no one came for him?

You cant tell us no top club knew about Okocha, Yet none was interested in signing him

the amount of fückery coming out of your mouth can be used as a bio-chemical weapon in the middleeast. how stüpid can one be?

[quote author=♛AndrERush♛]There is really no point getting involved in this argument. But a few points to @coogar
George Weah won player of the year based on what he did at PSG not AC Milan.[/quote]PSG won all the domestic cup competitions in 94/95 & weah was the champions league top scorer that year. he joined ac milan & he carried on with the same form while at milan.

Madrid buying Bale for €100M only meant they were desperate and stupid enough to throw away that sort of money for reasons only known to them, it doesn't for a second represent his true worth and the whole world is aware of that fact. Plus it helps having a chairman like Levy, who is a tough nut to crack. He was the same person that sold us Berbatov for £30.75M about 5 years ago, which was highly overpriced in my opinion.

how come big clubs are never silly & desperate to sign african players with such transfer fees? that's the window you guys are not looking at it from.

dademola: dts we shud focus on d knwn ones instead of d obscure "would-have-beens"!! It isnt anybody's fault dt okocha's skills neva caught d interest of any big club! Dts just d truth

it's not anyone's fault okocha was never discovered but that should not mean his natural talents should be rubbished just because he never made it to a top team?

aren't there geniuses that are unemployed or working low-skilled jobs? so because one doesn't work for any FTSE company means one isn't intelligent? some arguments are not even worth debating.....

Katsumoto: My point is that its not in all situations where everyone gets an equal chance. The best players in Europe and South America get maximum exposure but thats not the case with Africa. How many European players have been discovered playing football as illegal immigrants such as Okocha and Lua Lua? Football development is still very poor in Africa and as such you can't say the best players make their way to the best leagues.

these people do not understand opportunity. if any football club decides to give me £30m to tour the planet, i would discover players better than messi/ronaldo in the favelas of south america or even in nigeria.

Katsumoto: So your point is that the best African players are the ones that get selected to play in Europe? Ok

only a fool would reason that way & dayo is a fool!!! as long as no top club signs a player, he can't be good. what kind of backward thinking is that in the 21st century?

dayokanu: Thierry henry Black foreigner - 6 times PFA team of the year 2 PFA player of the year award. Maybe he was white british when he was winning all these awards in England

your examples keep making you look like a fool. if henry was white british like gareth bale, you mean he wouldn't have won the ballon d'or? compare henry to michael owen that won it in 2001.

Denilson was a world record signing and Black non European you tool

of course, denilson is from cameroon & ivory coast. how come no african player has broken the record signing? we have not produced anyone as good as denilson? a douchebag of your size should clean the vülva of a pregnant elephant.

George Weah WPOTY, Samuel Etoo 3rd FIFA WPOTY. None of these are white nor British

they worked thrice as hard to get to those awards. owen is not even 1/3 as good as these african players and yet won the award. can you not see the stupidity in your argument?

As at last season Etoo was the highest paid footballer in Europe Is he not as Black as Okocha?

what a tool you must be!!!

Etoo was born in Yaounde he made top 3, Kanu was born in Owerri he made Top 9 Same with Drogba, Weah was born in Moronvia he was Number 1. Its only failures who throw the race card

you are a typical autistic kid...
stop looking at it from the bottom. look at it from the top. who's the better player between etoo & owen? how did owen win it & drogba, etoo or even henry never did?

Stupidity runs in your platelets. How many human have won 4 Ballon D or? if Etoo was the best they would give him the same way they gave Weah who is even blacker than all of them

so there was no point in europe when etoo was easily the best striker? were you born stüpid? who did better in europe than etoo as a striker between 2004 & 2006?

You must be a morron to bring up that excuse. What does transfer fee have to do with anything? Denilson had a higher transfer fee than fellow Brazilians like Ronadinho or Ronaldo Lima. Andy Carroll transfer fee is higher than Rickie Lambert Maybe because carrol is whiter than lambert

your IQ is in the pits....
who argues this way for fück's sake? when caroll became the record signing for an english player, lambert wasn't even in the premier league then. i'm starting to think you are a human-mutt.

You must be a consumate leprechaun. Were Toure, Etoo, Weah etc born in those clubs? Didnt they work their way there? Why cant Okocha do the same? I guess Ppl born in Ugwashi Uku are more black than those born in Yaounde, Moronvia and Abidjan

worked their way where?
how much lower would this morön sink talking about working their way? so bebe worked his way to man utd? it's not sometimes about opportunities but purely hardwork?

you should hang yourself for polluting the webspace with your stüpidity. i am quite sure you think djemba djemba was better than okocha in 2003 circa.....djemba also worked his way to united, didn't he??

You are a morron!!!! How do players get to play for top clubs? Were they born there? isnt it a result of their performances?

of course - bebe got there via his world class performance. then you have boulahrouz, oshea, buttner, badstuber, karbayisoon, dong fangzhou, etc. they have both won the player of their continent award before they were all signed by their respective top clubs.

WHy is Ronaldo not in Lisbon why is he in madrid? it must be because he is white thats why Madrid bought him.

ronaldo = opportunity + hardwork
okocha = hardwork + no opportunity.
bebe = opportunity + no hardwork.

how you managed to graduate from a citadel of learning without deductive & cognitive reasoning is a travesty. you are a fool of epic proportions.

Top clubs buy top players regardless of their colour. A Liberian played for AC Milan the top club of the time. that has eroded any conspiracy racist theory

there are millions of top players than all the top clubs can take. it then means some excellent players would be left out. the top clubs will not sign everyone. was okocha not better than mikel? how come united/chelsea entered a transfer war on mikel & no one did for okocha?

there is opportunity & there's hardwork....if you now think bebe became a united player via hardwork then i pray fervently you leave this planet without procreating. your idiotic genes should die with you.

dayokanu: If Okocha was any good top clubs would buy him the same way they queued up to buy Etoo, Drogba Yaya, and Weah

Okocha cant play shiit. he is only good for commercials

that assertion is the most idiötic ever. so you want to tell me there are no good players tied to their mid-table clubs better than some of the players in bayern & dortmund in bundesliga?

big clubs won't sign every good player in any league. if you are dumb enough to think richard dunne wasn't better than john o'shea just because oshea was signed by man utd, then you have plumbed more depths of idiocy than any autistic kid in the world could ever manage in 10 lifetimes.

the results are out...

EPL mins/(assists + goals)

beckham - 266 mins/goal+assist

young - 179mins/goal + assist
valencia - 248 mins/goal + assist
nani ------ 113 mins/goal + assist.

beckham @ man utd cannot clean the shoes of the present wingers @ united. i could have understood if beckham was a bit more like iniesta that got played as an auxiliary midfielder for most parts of his premier league career, but he didn't. he's an out & out winger for us doing what the present wingers are doing week in week out.

dayokanu: Berbatov? What has he ever achieved in his career or done? Whether at Neverkusen, Spurs Manure or Fulham aside playing like a premature child

what has gareth bale ever achieved in his career? league? champions league? world cup? you are pissing in the wind.

When in the same EPL Bale won PFA player of the year twice and was in PFA team of the year 3 times, How many times did Valencia or Young make it.

bale - white british
young - black british
valencia - black foreigner.

check the hierarchy yourself and stop pissing in the wind.

Bale came from neither a top country nor a top club, Valencia has been playing at a top club for over 4yrs yet no one ranks him higher than Manga Mohammed.

bale is british, you idiöt!
you think bale would have been worth £20m if he was born in kosovo?

Cavani, Falcao two of the top 5 most expensive footballers are neither from great clubs nor from great footballing countries

and they have won 2nd best footballers in the world like beckham did or they won ballon d'or like michael owen? they are working thrice as hard to be where they are - if falcao/cavani are english, they would be valued more than ronaldo/messi are - gareth bale has proven that already.

bale = almost twice of ozil in value. are their abilities proportionate to their value?

Its only those playing Monkey post football that would say Okocha was worth anything in football.

you are a tool for making this statement...
if okocha was born in manchester, he would have been top 3 in his peak years.

Etoo is camerounian is he not one of the top strikers of his generation ?

of course, he won 4 ballon d'ors and his value in europe at a time was €100m.

Same with Yaya Toure, Drogba are these not Africans? Didnt Weah win WPOTY as a Freaking Liberian?

of course, drogba & toure won 6 ballon d'ors each and are both valued at £250m each. you are even shooting yourself with these idiotic examples. with the amount of skills toure & drogba possess, they should be worth thrice as much as gareth bale!!!

Its when some people are incompetent that they usually play the dumb race card. Is Okocha more African than Etoo, Weah, Toure, Drogba that get worldwide acclaim

you are a fool - which of the africans you mentioned here never played for a big club? weah(almighty milan), etoo(barca), drogba(chelsea), toure(barca & city) whilst okocha plied his trade at low level clubs like (frankfurt & bolton)

Soon we would hear if Ahmed Musa was Caucasian he would bench Hazard

you are a consummate rëtard!
i don't need to say anything more to this. if you do not believe nationality & club play a huge role in these awards then you are more idiotic than i thought. considering the fact i didn't give you much originally, you must be in the sewers in the punditry of hygienic environment.

chamotex: Are you comparing seasons or overall ability? Maybe I should scroll up to check the genesis of the debate.
Forget about awards and what not...on ability alone, Beckham is better.
I'm not even a fan of Beckham but he's technically better than Valencia especially in their primary roles.
There is no debate here.

how's beckham better than tony valencia or ashley young? why are football fans easily deceived because of awards that rely solely on opinions & not facts(statistics).

beckham was the english prince - loved by everyone. he even married a spice girl which quadrupled his hype & he became one of the richest footballers in europe.

in raw stats in the premier league,

beckham
62 goals, 19 assists in 264 league games...

ashley young
38 goals, 67 assists in 225 league games.

tony valencia
17 goals, 43 assists in 191 league games.

beckham played 39 league games more translating to almost 2,800 mins and yet ashley young is more productive. however, if you ask any kid on the street today, they are more convinced beckham is better than young.

once the media does not like the character of a particular player then nothing he does can make him great. he must have to work twice as hard. if nani was british, he would have been the player of the season in 2011. gareth bale won the award despite playing shyte for 80% of that season.

there's opinion & there's fact - let's stick to the facts when assessing players. in terms of productivity, young is better than beckham ever was in the english league & i'm sure valencia is also better.

chamotex: Coogar and Ruudie, I'm sure you guys are just teasing these other guys here comparing Valencia to Beckham?
As in Antonio Valencia? You guys better be joking.

david beckham is simply a hype generated by the english media. if he's nigerian, he wouldn't even make the super eagles team. how come finidi george(who's supremely more talented than beckham) never made it to the top 300 of footballers in europe?

if berbatov was english, he would be valued @ £200m because there would be a massive hype from the media about him. that's the way football works in europe. the british hype gassed gareth bale up & he suddenly became £86m in value. is bale better than nani or even nasri? you either come from a big footballing country or play for a big club to reach those top 10 heights.

okocha is 50,000 times better than beckham but he won't get near becks on the player ranking cos he's nigerian & his best shot was playing for bolton fc. tony valencia of 09/10 that destroyed bayern munich at old trafford was head & shoulders better than beckham of 98/99 season - all the wingers we have had in the senior team since beckham left are all better as well including ashley young.

keepingmum: hmmm, poster i empathize with you. I am in exactly the same boat as you except i have been married 9yrs plus now (hubby been jobless 7yrs plus) and you have family members that at least you can run to for large sums of money i don't. My child is already 7yrs i cant have another child because we cant afford to. Not that i am comparing my marriage with others but people who married after we did already have 3 kids (we had planned on 3 kids before).
It is well with you and God will guide you aright.

After several promises, sweet and hard talks, deadlines, In march this year, i stopped sleeping with hubby and hell let loose. After the storm, he has gotten used to the fact that i am not bulging. I still send him job application emails, still cook and clean and do everything else except shags!! He accused me of belittling him, not having faith/confidence in him, not been a supportive wife, bla bla bla (btw this is someone who alongside his family supported his sister to dump her hubby of 3 yrs after the guy lost his job for 10 months oo) i just developed thick skin and focused on my job & child and maintaining peace in my home bar the koko

. Fast forward to the autumn, I gave him till next year march to start earning an income either via business/employment, he huffed and puffed again and has made promises to deal with me once he starts working. I ignored and didn’t even argue with him. I have carried on everything as per usual and the peace of mind I have in me now is just great. He has realised that I have changed and I don’t seem bothered anymore nor do I seem interested in fighting so he’s now buckled up becos the deadline is fast approaching and he isn’t getting shagged which perhaps seems to be the motiviating factor (who knows). With time we’ll see if I made the right choice so I wish you well and I pray God through his mercies answers us all.

if i were in your husband's shoes, sex would be the last thing on my mind. are you really certain not giving him sëx is the solution to the problem or having heart to heart talks to change his status quo?

marriage has gone south - the government should enact laws to hold men like this accountable for failing to fulfil their roles in the family. your thick-skin approach won't work one jot - get your husband a job or find a means for him. if the roles were reversed, he wouldn't stop having sëx with you because you are jobless.

^^^ you are flogging a dead horse...
hernandez/RVP should be in the starting team every week.

dayokanu: The more you post on here, The more folks know you are not normal.
In the past 1hr all your credibility just gone

you have the chutzpah to talk about credibility when you shamelessly lied beckham assisted a goal in the 1999 final? you are a disgrace to football punditry....

Anyone who thinks Young and valencia is better than Beckham, Giggs(1999) and Ronaldo (2003-2006) should be tied to a stake and shot

they are infinitely better than beckham(99), giggs(99) & ronaldo(2003-2006) by a country mile.

would zidane have won ballon d'or on the strength of one volley in the 2002 final? do you know the number of present midfielders that are miles better than zidane but cannot even touch those prestigious awards? it seems you dunno today's footballers are working thrice as hard as those old glory footballers....

could the performance of zidane, nedved, rivaldo, figo, etc in the years they won ballon d'or have dethroned messi & ronaldo in the last 5 years? this day & age where messi/ronaldo have rewritten all the known la liga records? you must be having a laugh!!!

dademola: d comparism was btwn becks 98/99 season, and valencia's 09/10 season... Who contributed more to united in dos 2 separate seasons.

valencia did!
statistically & the fact that it was valencia's debut season at old trafford would make even a blind man vote for valencia.

dayokanu: In 2012 Iniesta did not win the Champions League yet he won the said award

stop pursuing the wind - how did beckham assist solskjaer in 99?

GustavoFring: Not really, apart from being a set piece specialist, he was a fairly basic winger doing a cross and nod job on the right flank- in fact very similar to Downing and Jarvis like Coogar said.

He couldn't beat a man, had no pace, and was notoriously one-footed. Infact I remember the hype when beckham scored some random goal with his left foot- the papers were raving about it simply because the occasion was ever so rare.

I would definitely take Valencia over DB7 if I was a manager, unless my club was broke and needed to cash in on the massive TeamBeckham PR machine.

bale, adam johnson, jarvis, wright-phillips, young, valencia, downing, lennon, etc are all better wingers than beckham.

Chillisauce: She said she has a valid chinese student visa.

i musta missed that then - it just sounded too smooth how she was able to leave like she owned a diplomatic passport.

i have no dog in this fight...just observing.

dayokanu: In the 1999 CL Beckham had 2 goals and 3 assists. The assist vs Bayern, Barca and Juventus

the bayern & barca were in the group games - who reckons with what happens in the group games? CL awards focus more on the semis & the final & beckham had only one assist to show for it against juventus...

Iniesta didnt even win the CL before winning the award , He wasnt even barcelonas best player nor their top scorer. Maybe they gave him because he was an Handsome English gentleman

iniesta is as important to barcelona as messi. iniesta isn't a winger or striker - so asking him to be a top scorer is reaching.

Katsumoto: I get you - I agree. However, I don't believe Valencia has done anything for Utd despite his better ability than Beckham.

I never saw the hype in Beckham. He built his football career on the back of a marriage to a spice girl and a competent management agency.

beckham is one of the worst wingers united have produced. i would put him at bebe's level. even his crosses were aided by gary neville acting as a decoy to give beckham the space to ping his crosses. he's the biggest hype in association football & young/valencia are miles better than beckham in ability alone.

dayokanu: Leave that morronic leprechaun to be yarning megedefegede

hahahaha - after exposing you as a charlatan? tell us how beckham assisted the 2nd goal.....i need youtube links, gifs or football articles that support your argument that beckham assisted a goal @ the nou camp.

a douchebag of your size would clean the vägina of a whale!!

montelik: even at his worst I would take Beckham over Valencia. compared to tony v, Beckham was as 2 footed as CR7.

beckham & giggs as at 98/99 cannot clean the shoes of any of our present wingers. you have no argument that can support such beliefs. they were as basic as jarvis or downing.

the way things are looking adnan is likely leaving this summer. it looks his advisers are determined to run down his contract and cash in and boy is simply ffg what they say. unless he establishes himself as not just a 1st teamer but also confirmed starter, it's unlikely we'll be able to fend off the ridiculous offers he will receive.

if he wants to leave, let him....
we are bigger than an 18-year-old rookie who can turn out to be a macheda or a ronaldo. the potential is there but he has to reach that potential first.

dayokanu: Prove me wrong
Giggs assisted the first goal in the 1999 epic final, Beckham assisted the goal for the second .

beckham assisted what? you are a disgrace to football. beckham took the corner, sheringham applied a glancing header towards the far post & solskjaer applied the finish.

I would help you self diagnoze your insanity

if you don't even know who assisted the winner, you have lost all the rights to stand next to me toe to toe in any football matters.

you are a disgrace to this section of nairaland. ted sheringham scored the first goal & assisted the second. your insanity is military-grade!!!

Katsumoto: Beckham was selected as the best midfielder in the Champions League by UEFA in 99. I agree he wasn't really the best but what can you say, Terry has been best defender three times. I can put this down to the bias of the technical committee.

i don't disagree beckham was chosen by UEFA but he wasn't even the best man utd player that season.

Having said that, Beckham is not a better player than Valencia but he is a more productive player than Valencia.

valencia is a better/more productive player than david beckham. beckham is just english hype. he cannot dribble, pass or offer any genuine goal threat. he can only cross & score freekicks.

dayokanu: When Ribery won it this yr was he the highest goal scorer? or because he was one ugly French bastardd

ribery - 10 league goals + 15 assists in the bundesliga. 1 CL goal + 5 assists. the assists included the games in the semi & in the final. one could argue ribery was easily the best bayern player last season, beckham wasn't in 99.

When Iniesta won it last yr was he the highest goal scorer?
When Gerrard won it in 2005, When Deco won in 2004

you are just a social reprobate....
a space is usually reserved for a member of the winning team when deciding these awards. one could argue iniesta, gerrard and deco were their team's best players - but beckham wasn't. if you really think beckham was better in the midfield than effenberg, keane, scholes, zidane, rivaldo, etc in 1999 then you should be put against the wall & shot dead.

The more you speak the more foolish you sound

you are the one stretching the borders of idiocy on this thread.
