And to think that 99m was mobilisation fee for this Cartil..... And the church didn't need such bloated fee to do the project?!!!!


This thing called mob fee... Kwarapshun!!!


Imagine over 7000+ of such similar mob fee scattered across the country on road projects. The gap RCCG gave too wide. Commendable!!! Shame on our leaders. Taking 11yrs to do what RCCG did under a year!!! Shame!!

BlueRayDick:
This right here is just emotions, emotions and plenty more emotions that does not in any way represent fact. You saying he would've been one of the key figures under Arteta is just emotions and nothing more. When has Ìwobi been that Key figure u talk about exactly? The same Iwobi that keeps giving poverty attacking stats every season without growing into the big man we all hoped he would become?

The fact is iwobi's output was not top level and is still not impressive even after leaving arsenal. Like someone said, selling Ìwobi for that price was good business as in very good business.

Below is screenshot of Iwobi's output at Arsenal and at Everton; does it look like we miss him? If u think yes, maybe u should think again and check Smith Rowe's stats. That boy for a 20 year old in his debut season playing 22 games has 4 assists and 2 goals, has a better shooting accuracy than Iwobi, has more passes per game than Iwobi and had more impact than Iwobi the veteran at Everton last season.

Aswear Iwobi money na delicious money wey the club chop nicely and clean mouth.

Emotions you say?


I still stand by my comment there and its not emotions. You probably fall into the category of those looking for the Scapegoat of Emirates which he was always easily picked for.

He's the only one that's picked on like this. Old Stephen came, Mustafi too, yet the rave and picking wasn't half of what Iwobi got. And youre saying im emotional??


Everton saw him with less play time so you can't even start to use that to judge this last season too.


There are many players that were shltier and were not even called out. Lets not pretend cos of the stats he had. No one here can tell me that it was cos of stats he was sold. Don't tell me that one bit. And is he now stagnant with his emirates form that you can't even have the chance to see he may improve? Or the history with our past players is so cloudy on this front?





Yes he didn't get in the stats we expected him to get, but he'd have done well under Arteta no doubt!!!

Mustafi 2.0??

It's about time that our football team has a national training centre with gyms, cafeterias, training pitches and other amenities. It is long overdue at this point.

So true sha. Same for Athletics. But this football own is long overdue.

Abeg my people make una help me thank God as I don finally drop pen from University. After spending 5 years studying a 4 year course (courtesy of Coro). E no easy rara.

PS:
Now I go dey get time dey do argument here 24/7 while I wait and pray for a miracle from the favour market. Operation No mercy for Carpenters is underway.

Thank God!! Congrats on this!!

For the business angle as it is right now, anybody knows the financial situation of the club and the fragile nature and indecisiveness of the club with regards to Transfers. Imagine we using net difference to do business.

Its why i pray hard for Danny Ek to takeover. I feel all these transfer activity is cos of the EK pressure. If Ek isn't at the door, don't be surprised we wont be doing all these minimini manimo we are currently seeing.

Fkhalifa:
My point that year on Iwobi...
Arsenal will sell ESR,GUEN,SAKA AND MARTUNELLI should their be any bid around or above £30.

Exactly my point.

It was once the near oldies we sold a decade ago. When Man Utd fans used to mock us as "boys" cos the core of our team was relatively young and inexperienced overall. Now, its the oldies we tryna keep and sell the youngsters.


No matter what anyone hear opines, i still hold onto the fact that the sale of Iwobi is still a grave mistake. He'd have been one key, undisputed figure under Arteta, as they even played together. But no, na only his imperfections we sabi focus on asif naim worse pass.

The Transfer team will go naked if championship team comes with 30+ for any of our youngsters you mentioned. Its a Fact.

Never liked the Pointus Pilatus but he's done absolutely well on this. Considering this is almost 3decades and FG still dey act like Patriotism is only when it pleases their mindset, this is commendable. Sanwo was probably still in Secondary School in 96, or thereabout.

fabyom:
Our ladies, none like them in Africa in every aspect of life.
I could vividly remember how I cried when Charity Opara lost that lead in the final lap of the 3rd leg.
Ogunkoya almost made up for it.
They gave their all for the love of country and one another.
The commentary was one of the best I ever heard in Athletics.
#Allforone. #Naija.


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fn7j-u93dug

I recall my mum was on her feet all through for this particular race. Food almost burnt that day. Ogunkoya was truly the Athlete to beat. And Jearl Miles truly held on. Woah!! Years of Top Expectations getting Top results in Athletics.

Shey idenaa and co no go open Politics Sport Tribalism Thread like this? For 4 good pages of 45comments each, na tribal gbasgbosagery get 90%!!??

Well, it would be odd to say im shocked cos it's come up several times over the years on this thread. But we should know better by now. I don't mind taking it to a random thread so we would just be getting mentions there and suit our throats.(wet i mean)

Smh!!

E for even sweet if we talk Kayaking as its a sport than this ethnic back and forth.....

Spy360:
Despite them knowing we need an AM, yet they want to take away the only shining light we have. Chai! Insult.

Its business

Besides we sold the AM we had and a talented iwobi cos the price was huge. Arsenal Transfer team are unserious. So if Villa came knocking that way, they scented the aroma!!!!

Jodera:
Lol... I know you're being sarcastic, but even at that, we should be sad that someone like Villa not man city or Liverpool are looking at our young player. At least, over 9yrs ago, it was barca, man city and man u that were doing the bidding not Everton or Villa. Then to bid 20m for Esr knowing his potential and how good he was for us last season is actually a very very big slap on our face. In fact, when I interprete that bid, you know wetin dey run through my mind?

Mehn, na falling hands levels any how wey we wan place am

Im stating our downfall from the pedestal we once stood on. Big clubs do come for our talents and gave good prices and we even shakara well. But see how even we evaluate our own players these days. Self Insulting. So yeah, that's the truth. Not being Sarcastic.


The Xhaka issue is proof even we don't value much again. And then see how much we got Mustafi for.

Lets be realistic. See the Martinez saga too.

They are so so bad at business, Leno for whom Emi was sold is now leaving the club a year after Emi left. Like they didn't know such they bundled away such talent?

typicalgamer:
Except ndidi none of those players could nail a starting shirt in the English league and it’s division

E get why you just they hype hot garbage

How Many Russians or South Africans play in top leagues in the world prior to 2018?

See how ya tryna to sound smart right now, but you know you ain't saying nothing.


So cos they don't play in one league, their ball progression is now going to be wack.


I even apologize for using those tested and trusted EPL, SPL names up there. Heck lemme use NPFL players. Yeah. They will do better than 1metres with the ball per game.

Spare me the League crap abeg. And yeah, you made me go sarcastic!!!

Double Post

TheSuperNerd:
Honestly, the Current Super Eagles will never be this bad.

Even Without Iwobi, Nacho, Aribo, Etebo at the middle, their replacements can never be this bad.

Ndidi alone will see 4m sef.

Ejuke would even do the width of the field twice before dem colet the ball. Infact put Balogun there sef, he'd still see 4m to progress.

One thing is it would be one tough miracle if England happen to smell the semis, or win it. Cos i wouldn't want to hear any crap about Southgate knew what he was doing.

I pray July is busy at the Unveiling Grounds for Arsenal. Over 50 connects and no one yet.


We should be happy ESR got a bid from Villa in my Opinion. When last that happened for our young player over the last 9years??

Respect is no more in the Wind. Its inching closer to the milky way galaxy. That girl needs be taught some serious lessons. He should sue. That's definitely an elderly man talking. She wants to say he harassed her and he is the one videoing?

andrewbaba44:
To be sincere france and Portugal are the favorites but they are yet to look promising like italy

I will never write off any team, we all saw how Portugal struggled at the euro2016 by qualifying as best looser by drawing 3 games in the group and ended up winning the tournament .

Very true. God didn't save the Queen yesternight. He saved Southgate.

drDoom3:
The irony is that they were winning big games before the tournament, destroying Norway and Netherlands. Everyone saw them as the black horse of the tournament, especially as they were drawn into a relatively easy group. The whole thing is embarassing.

I remember the way spoke highly of them. I think its safe to conclude for both big and medium, small teams that Tournament proper is always never for the top guns ever again.


See Portugal
See Hungary
See the way France dey do?

Only Belgium and Italy(nobody even looked their way prior to start) look promising enough. Its 4games away from Glory.

jihday:
GOAT

Deserves any hype coming his way in the next decade. He's seen shitty defenders in front of him and yet saved a whole nation from embarrassing days.

BascoVanVeli:
U guys get it first
USWNT vs Nigeria

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Unk2tdxO6D4

Does so good saves and ends it all with such a embarrassing goal to USWNT.

She did exact with the Portugal game, now here again.

Should be communicating better with her defenders or be in the box if she can't attempt blocking like a GK.

I'm sure they'll come around asap. That attack needs all the clinical prowess it needs right now.

labas370:
This 3-5-2

Ajibade a lil behind Zee will be okay. Noticed only Zee was in the box to head most of the crosses from the wingers. That's not going to give any threat if that's the plan.

PDPGuy:
I don’t know why the Americans are way FITTER than the SF.. it’s like the US team has 10x the energy of our players

exactly. I hope the slack we currently giving is extended when they are on the tourney proper. Even the Jamaicans were more energetic than us. Tge middle lacks half the energy the flanks give.

BascoVanVeli:
Her Spanish club don't think she's heavy and that's all that matters.

Its alright. I guess Rita's club too think same?

robosky02:
Not by size


Na flexibility


Did you see the penalty she save

No p. Just a concern. Doesn't mean its not valid.

Xhaka talks meet Brickwall.


Roma......

Lol

Meanwhile i dey hear Tyler Adams and Lokonga today

#52. Thet added "Intense" in front of Tyler

And Serious, positive talks" infront of Lokonga.





Won kaare.


Coutinho also attracting attention with 17m.

BascoVanVeli:
Our biggest problem against USA will be the height of their attackers. They will play a bunch of long balls into our box and the question is can we win them. I would go 3 at the back and leave two attackers up top. Everyone else behind the ball. Frustrate them and look to catch them on counter attacks. Their defense has not been tested but I don't think the CBs are the fastest.

Our Goalie is too heavy to dive for the r2 and l2 shots coming her way. She should shed some pounds after this. I fear for Oluehi more than our defense.

Danielnino00:
The fact that USA haven't battered both Portugal and Jamaica should be some sort of comfort for us ...

Make we no rely on that one o. Jamaicans were cautious majorly. The individual error Okeke and Rita, Oluehi do make is blood, and these girls, if they see it, they'll become bolder to punish us.

JohnBullMySon:
God no go shame us .

The Jamaicans were defensive throughout sha. A Counter attack would upset that usa defence that. Those 4 USA defenders were too comfy. Payne and Alozie may need to start. Anything that would make Rita, that lacks pace to start, na OYO for Oluehi o. See slick one-two inside box 18.


Plus the silly offside trap our defense are still wack at, the USA girls are best at beating it in twos and threes. I expect a two sided game sha.

JohnBullMySon:
If our defence can organise themselves on Wednesday, we can shock the USWNT. Seriously.

Na goal goal o.

I doubt this Defense would not conceed at least 2goals. I think we need see Nnadozie asap. Besides that Defense is on makeshift mode. Alozie should be made to play her natural role and okeke to RB. Ordega can start from bench vs USA.

Them fit spell Nigeria sha.

Schemerkhiz:
My greatest surprised is that she's not even a Defender but a Forward....

Was confused for a moment seeing her playing that role that is naturally for Okeke,while okeke is still on the pitch. They should allow Alozie play her Winger role abeg.

Once again, Oluehi unable to organize the Defense. The USA attack won't even need enter the box before they bang shots at her.
