At least we're sure of the package, I mean for Mane. From the little I've watched Mikki, he doesn't look strong for epl and we know he's not intelligent like the likes of Silva, etc. We know in epl either you're very skillful and intelligent or you have pace and pawa to excel. elampiro knows the latter very well

Mahrez cannot be said to be powerful, neither does he fit In the Mould of David silva but we all saw how magnificent he was for Leicester last season...

We need Miki - he is creative, Skillful and has an impressive workrate. He also shoots from Distance (Unlike them Ozil & co) . Unlike Mata, He is also more effective as an inverted winger

chrisley024:
Mane though goes missing for some games, is a big game player. He's younger, cheaper and doesn’t need to adapt.

Manè's game revolves round excessive power, Stamina, agility & brute force with limited technical & tactical awareness - he is a poor man's Alexis Sanchez jare...

i wouldn't mind him joining us but if I was asked to choose, i would pick Mahrez everyday of the week sef.

chrisley024:
Aub is for CF and expensive which is a huge risk. Heard he is placed around 65mil. Dude is also more of pace and movement sef

He should be available for 40m....

If I may ask : who would you rather see leading our attack next season - Auba or Ibra?

Pay him no mind - the average "Barka" fan on NL is typically ignorant & Mis-informed

What most of them know how to do best is to shout "up messi", post pictures of the club's trophy haul & ofcourse...mock Ronaldo - 90% of Barca fans on NL started watching soccer when Messi became a household name !!

...only for this one to exhibit his own idiocy very early in the morning...

It's a pity!!

chrisley024:
My concern is most of these players from outside the league take time to adapt, if they finally do.

Aubameyang is likely not moving.

Sanè doesn't cut across as an intelligent footballer to me - na only pace & power e get.

Dortmund would sell Auba at the right price & for me, i think we should pay up jare..

AdeLaNa1:
I see. And from what i understand, this is the first time they are running the tournament. 10 teams from Conmebol and 6 from Concacaf.

You are right- it used to be 2 countries from Concacaf, making 12 teams in total.

AdeLaNa1:
Wait. Pls. Someone explain to me. What kind of Copa are they playing in The Americas. I see USA, Mexico, Brazil and Argentina in the same competition. What kind of copa spans across two continents??

Due to the limited number of countries in South America, countries from CONCACAF geographically and culturally close ( U.S.A, Costa Rica, Honduras, Mexico etc) are usually invited to participate to make up the teams necessary for the tournament format.

I think there was a year Japan was invited though..

elampiro:
Kane, Ali and Lallana have no business being in the first team.

Rooney is playing CM and that is not Barkely's position. Hodgson should persist with the guys who have been getting the job done. Sturridge, Rooney, Barkely. Sterling will play well if these guys are in attack.

Sterling himself would be ashamed & embarassed at this ridiculous excuse you put forward.

Person dey put in performances atypical of division 3 players in the Sudanese league,you are here blaming it on the absence of a fat & disillusioned Rooney in the frontline.

As a matter of fact, Sterling has no business in that team !!

You should take your own advice and shut the hell up If you don't know what's gwarning. Not only do you f#$k all about Serie A, you also know absolutely nothing about the club you claim to support.
First of all let me address the Rivaldo issue. Rivaldo in 1996 was still plying his trade in brazil(Did not move to Europe till the summer of 1996). So How the Hell was Amuneke ahead of him?

Pay him no mind - the average "Barka" fan on NL is typically ignorant & Mis-informed

What most of them know how to do best is to shout "up messi", post pictures of the club's trophy haul & ofcourse...mock Ronaldo - 90% of Barca fans on NL started watching soccer when Messi became a household name !!

It's an open secret that Van Gaal's decision to shunt Rivaldo out wide was the main reason behind their fallout but ofcourse, ignorance no gree make the guy sabi.

The fella was even cocky & confident untop the falsehood (born outta sheer ignorance) wey e wan dey spread.

Ibime:
What a childish ninja.

So you are the only one that read the Oscar report? Oscar is not a Chelsea player for me to comment on again? Did I reference you? Have you even joined this thread when we started discussing Oscar on these pages?

You went and brought one silly Modric comment referring to me, I warned you to stay your lane, you said you are only here to discuss footie. We left it there.

Then again, you went and brought a comment on Schweinsteiger claiming he can't play 90 minutes after his recent injury saying "look at the pensioner someone wanted us to sign". And then again, you felicitously went and brought up Jack Cork referencing me once again, claiming he can't even get in Swansea team (which shows you don't watch footie).

I recommended Jack Cork 18 months ago as a Home-Grown squad player with clear reasoning. I rated him as 5/10 player and said he would make a good 4th/5th choice midfielder and can also play right-back if needed. He is also Cobham trained and can help us meet our Home-Grown quota whilst doing a job if needed.

The same Jack Cork just played 35 league games for Swansea this season, of which he started 28. He played better than any Chelsea CM when they dominated Chelsea 1-0 just 2 months ago. He posted 7.05 Whoscored stats for the season compared against our first choice DM who posted 6.68. . . . . and this is the 4th/5th choice squad filler vs current no 1.

But in your obsession with Ibime, you want to clown and mock with duplicitous simplification of my football debates.

I have told you, keep me out your mouth nigga. I no get any business with you. Kindly leave me alone and focus on the hippopotamus you keep at home. Ibime no get business with you.

Ibime you dey fùck up I swear...

And to think I praised you for being mature a few mins ago..

Nihilist:
Demola can you tell me what I've done today?

See me see wahala o.

I was talking about Oscar and dude jumped in. That's cool. I was talking about Modric and referring to a conversation in which there were several people on both sides of the debate, and BOOM! Insult.

I didn't mention names or abuse any person.

But when someone who follows my account and who I've seen viewing my diary thread turns round to accuse me of being obsessed with him...I don't know what to say.

I really don't.

I'm not sure if you know this guy's MO. If we rewind back to that Emenalo debate, you will see that the guy jumped in with insults, and asked not to be disturbed....when he wasn't invited in the first place!

Even when I said, "no vex, please be going I will discuss with others"...he refused to be 'undisturbed' and started asking people not to 'educate that nigga'

Maturity my azz...what you're seeing here is a classic display of mental illness.


Check the history of the thread, and you will see he has tried it with everybody...from Nateevs to Griffon to Bigkesh...and many others.

Dude wants to be number 1 on the thread...which is fine by Nihilist.

All I want to do is post...so in the words of the eternal Jay-Z...."Can I live?"

I get your points Honestly...

Na the perceived "Cold-war" between the two of una be the ish here..

Principally, you two are the main monikers that light this place up with your interesting analysis & opinions (even on issues unrelated to football) - the way wey una dey go about this thing no pure at all.

Whenever two of the most popular monikers in a thread have divergent opinions on certain issues, it would would be healthier and more interesting if one party calls the other out directly for a debate....The accusations & counter accusations of obsession (and very soon, plagiarism) no be am I swear.

Funny thing Is that I am pretty certain both of you share many things in common (views and ideologies) as regards una lives outside Nairaland.

Make una relax joor.

Una don start again.. bah?

@Nihilist, me thinks Ibime decision to follow you is an act of maturity - he probably feels una "beef" should be limited to online bants and all (i might be wrong though).

Shebi na London both of una dey ? One of these days, You guys should hangout and watch one of Chelsea's games together jare.

elampiro:
Among our young defenders:
Rafael
Fabio
Smalling
Evans
Jones

Jones has been the fittest since their arrival. Jones first miracle injury happened last year. Whenever he was not fit, it was harmsting. But Smalling, Rafael, Fabio, Evans, have all been injured from tackles - muscle injuries.

Look at playing time of individual players from 2011/12 to 2014/15


FYI: AdeLaNa1, Nihilist and dadehmola

Stop distorting the facts - Phil jones is a hopelessly pathetic sicknote who has suffered all forms of injuries during his stay at the club!

Elampiro, isnt it obvious that jones is a liability and should be loaned out to Bolton and retire afterwards??

MrTA:
So what are Gotze's main strengths?He's clearly talented but he just seems to have stagnated or am I missing something?

Bro, i think say na only me notice oh....

Even the Draxler wey dem dey shout no play anything.

The Germans weren't particularly impressive yesterday.....especially from an attacking POV.

Impressive Game management by the manager though. The team repelled attacks (shout out to Neuer & Alago Boateng), controlled the game when neccesary and ofcourse, converted their chances.

Maybe Dayo would explain to us better

raumdeuter:
For that CL advantage Liverpool is bigger than Man Utd

Is Nottingham Forest Bigger than Arsenal?

incredible70:
So you mean to tell me other competitions these teams participate in are all useless?

Despite my referral to G.B.R.1's post + Adelana's painstaking efforts to expĺain the salient part, you are still here asking stùpid questions (i'm sorry I had to say that).

Go & lie down sir!

incredible70:
So with these same logic, Liverpool is bigger and, better than Manchester united then. Yes or No?

With this logic........

Domestic Scene

Man utd >> Liverpool

Real Madrid >>>>>>>Barcelona

European Stage

Liverpool >> man Utd

Real Madrid >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Barca

Real Madrid owned Barcelona Domestically & in Europe & there shouldnt be a debate as regards the more successful club......Q.E.D!!

incredible70:
Help me explain how Madrid it's better than Barca using the pic below.

you are obviously among the people G.B.R.1 was refering to in this post...

GBR1:
Unluckily for you, i have too much time on my hands I know exactly what i'm saying and i can prove it. That image you posted is quite useless as it's only showing how much success you guys have enjoyed over the years relative to other clubs. It doesn't say you are biggest or anything like that. You guys aren't even the biggest in our own home country (Spain), so it's a travesty to refer to Barcelona are as the biggest in the world.
It's obvious again you don't understand the concept of time frame and football sucess so i would break down my explanation into simpler bits for you to digest. In footballing countries, the league title is the most prestigious followed by the major domestic cup which is a very distant second( i know some of your folks here don't know the difference between a cup and a title); for example in England we have the PL title and the FA cup, in Spain the la liga title and the Copa del rey, in Italy the Scudetto and the Copa Italia, in Germany the Bundesliga title and the DFB pokal etc
Now Madrid has a considerable lead over you guys in the number of league titles while you guys have more cups and even hold the record. I have already established a title is far relevant than a cup, so Madrid owns Barcelona here. In Europe the destruction is even worse when you consider that you guys have 5 CL while Madrid has over the double of that figure. So you guys are pretty much playing catch up to Madrid. Whether Barcelona have won more la liga titles or CL than Madrid in the last 10 or even 50 years more than Madrid is useless if Madrid still has the higher tally. Maybe in the next 15 years Barcelona might meet up but currently and even in the last 10 years, Madrid still has the higher tally /figure so they are still very much bigger.
United has just 3 CLs and Madrid 11. For example In the next 10 years if United goes on to win 5 CLs while Madrid win none in that time frame, would it mean United have become better/bigger club in Europe even more than Madrid? Would 8 automatically become bigger than 11 by then?

That's how silly you Barcelona folks sound when you try to use the relatively higher success in the last 10 years to claim you are bigger than Madrid. If you can't understand this, then i can't help you further and i won't even bother trying to explain to you again because I've done an excellent job already.

raumdeuter:
The people debating stated a decade, If you still remove the decade, its still the team that has won more titles on the field all time not some silly who has more fans who has more money. Guaghouz evergrade might have more fans than some european top clubs? Or some people might be fans of 7 clubs

Same with money, Last year Schalke04 made more money than Inter Milan, Tottenham made more money than AC Milan would you say they are bigger?

If i may ask, do Schalke and Spurs have as much value as the aforementioned Milan clubs, despite their higher earnings?

incredible70:
Madrid is bigger than Barca in terms of League tittle and UCL league, so my question is who's bigger in terms of overall?

Real Madrid

jstbeinhonest:
I cant find where I mentioned madrid in my question to you,I have pointed out that my bone of contention is where he stated that man u is a bigger team than barca.Firstly,I'd like to know if you agree with that statement.

I cannot be retyping the clear assertions G.B.R.1 has made on this particular issue..

You really need to calm down, take a deep breathe and read his posts again, bro.

jstbeinhonest:
Straight up question.Which is the bigger team.Man u or barca?.

jstbeinhonest:
3 parameters are used in judging what club is the biggest in the world.
1.Wealth and Income.
2.Success on the field of play
3.Fanbase.

The argument isnt a Barca vs Man utd thingy - your understanding of number 2 is the crux of the matter here...

In this context of your No2 , success isnt like Uefa club coefficient rankings where the performance of a team over a stipulated period is used as a rank metric - Your records/ Trophy haul (even if it from 1435 B.C) matters the most. why do yo think Mn utd had to win an unprecedented 19th Epl title in order to overtake liverpool as the most successful club in England (on a domestic level ofcourse), despite the fact that Liverpool hadnt won a league title in about 20 years while Man utd won it 11 times in that same period?

G.B.R1's point is that Barca have to equal Madrid's UCl/league title haul before a proper debate can take place - the success recorded by your club in the last 10 years hasnt been enough to do so!

Here,it is clearly stated in this article that were the most successful team in the 14/15 season.

So Luis Enrique was right. As he said, Barca's season in 2014-15 was the finest in the team's history. But it is in fact the greatest club campaign of all time. No side can boast better numbers than this.

But this season's side sets a benchmark with the greatest season of any team ever, backed by the finest footballer in the history of club football.

if the emboldened is the best you can offer, there's nothing i can do to help you bro..

GBR1:
Bros they won't find anything to help their cause. As i have noticed most of these Barcelona folks don't even know their club properly and even people like homesteady are always having to google out stuff i say.

That's why they are in this kind of situation on their thread. Just take a look at the one below above your post that quoted me. He hardly understands what i'm talking about. poor guy!

Them dey always compete with each other as regards news/gists on the "latest ways by which Barca is better than Madrid".... hence the brainfarts we get to read here from time to time.

TRendlona:
[s]I cant bliv smone is sayin dis.. Its so surprising. I bliv u knw wat a decade mean?? A decade from now is 10 years ago and dats 2006. Barca has unarguably been the most successful since then. Madrid has won just 2 CLs after dat time, Man u has won one and Barca has won 4.. Or is dat u dnt knw numbers or wot??

Talking about d league, Madrid has won 3 since then and barca has won 6.

So hw are man u and madrid better than barca since 2006 (a decade ago)? ?

Honestly GBR i dnt understand wat u r sayin oo[/s]

Bro, can you provide a link where it has been suggested that Barcelona is/was the most successful club in the world at any given time?

One link please.....just one link!

Sterling isn't better than Shaun-Wright Philips!!

This one wey una just sideline Schnerdelain from next season's plans like say the guy na flop..

Nawa oo
