As I have said before CWC is where to scout for raw talents

I have the feeling they might be waiting for it to end before opening the floodgates of spending and deals.


IMO this is wrong timing for that tournament as it is a direct embargo on the transfer window already. Clubs will wait and players will want to showcase abilities to woo scouts. They should have just shifted the transfer window if that was their aim all along.

I don't like the body language of many fans regarding this partey departure. They're kinda nonchalant, as of Zubimendi will slide it like butter and start giving top performance b2b like Partey. I don't understand them.

Beside, i fear Rice might play the Partey role now that everyone is used to him bombing forward. Another concern is the RB experiment ends and hence i won't be surprised if there's another chase for RB in the market😂

Looks like this Saka deputy thing is not a serious business for these two sha.

Quality comments on Nairaland dare not be based on Like's, I have seen lots of rubbish, imbecilic comments by Obidients being Liked by fellow Obidients.

What am i saying, what are you saying? 🤦🏽‍♂️

TotoIsGud4boy:
@seun, while this is a good development, I think you should focus more on ranking comments rather than trying to control free speech, or is that very difficult to achieve? If you can devise a way to rank comments based on:
Likes/Shares = Relevance
Quotes/Mentions = Controversy

That’ll be a big milestone… what you’re doing now is just shooting in the dark… you have to make real changes because forums are dead, don’t expect real meaningful content unless you devise a way to rank high quality comments thereby giving users the incentive to post more.

Most people found more value in page 10 or 11, question is how many people are willing to go to those pages ? Please be innovative. Nairaland shouldn't just remain a news aggregator, it should be a place to find and share and discuss about relevant things.

Also work on the ban system, it’s very flawed, users should be banned from a particular section where violation occurred, not site-wide.

I agree with you that the 1st page needs filters for quality comments. It will improve users comments for next 2-3 pages per thread, which might tilt behavioral patterns to comment sections on NL.

Why i dey fear say AP no go dey this man's list?

Pls can there be a suggestions box thread where ideas can be picked from your hallowed forumites to make upgrades and UX an excellent one?



We need polls on this site. It is a great engagement tool and that feature will help alot, especially in Sports and Education section, etc.

PFN and CAN conduct on the matter in last 2 years has been disgraceful and shameful. Dragging is what made this happen. Shows the insincerity about these two Christian orgs. Smh

TheSuperNerd:
On New Zealand's Auckland City FC..... People like Charles emeka85, Odu nayaw, Danielni no00, Joeb ie and Dav eP could make up this team.

You may have even benefitted from immunization funded by him.

😂
Conspiracy theories? Do your research well.
You guys are predictable. 5G and covid? 🤦🏽‍♂️🤦🏽‍♂️🤦🏽‍♂️🤦🏽‍♂️
So cos one pastor said that now, it translates to everyone?
Swerve abeg.

Going thru the comments here and im forced to smh very much. Most Nigerians can't reason past philanthropy.


You'll be dining directly with the devil cos the devil showered you with philanthropy?? 😂😂😂😂😂😂

To use long spoon for this one sef na still wahala. This guy? Like this very man? Runnn oooo.

Orstein: Arsenal are working on the #9 position everyday. These things are not as simple as we, the public & media, might think or want to imagine. They’ve got to get this right. It’s a boring answer, but it’s ongoing. They’ll be assessing their options.”

“Sesko, Gyökeres & Watkins are high among them. There will be so many different factors involved — on the pitch, off the pitch, football, financial, transfer fee, structure within the transfer fee, add-ons, bonuses, salary, agent commission.”

“We see the reports of some dialogue with RB Leipzig & the representatives of Sesko, that’s normal. The numbers, release clause, gentlemen’s agreement, payment terms — similar with Gyökeres & Watkins. We’re NOT aware of other candidates.”

“You can’t really put a timescale on it. I’m sure Arsenal will want to make developments this week, next week, as soon as possible. A lot of work goes into this & we clearly don’t have a conclusion just yet.”



Oluwa deliver us!! Wetin Remote do for fromt of Emirates, we need more broom prayer warriors at this point.

Which kine excuse be dis? 😂😂😂😂😭😂😭😂😭😂😭😭😭😂😭😭😂😂

No be today Jare
Shebi there's still time na, the board are not working jo
As in, after all the ucl money last season

I wonder o. Where did all that piun to?


Meanwhile....

MSGAMBLE9:
Calm down... They are negotiating "a reduction in release clause" with Leipzig ( Leipzig of all clubs on Earth) for Sesko


This thing takes time....

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂



Person go just reason say this club is bankrupt if they believe all that crap excuses.

iamoyindamola:
Yes aygemang

She will come gradually.

Im not really bothered about the players ageing and all cos as UWCL champs, we've become top destination for players whether we scout or they chase. But from within, there are talented legs all over. I trust Renee to give the necessary nitro alrounda.

iamoyindamola:
Even arteta is being cautious
His main priorities are gk, defense and midfield.
Normally he has no plans for striker that's why he is hellbent on seskô and he's come out Kai is a starter
He will only get a CF to satisfy us

If naso he no like striker, i imagine how he felt on the touchline all the years he had no choice but to field Auba and Laca.

Chaiii. 😂😂😂😂😂😆

Even their goals no sweet am or what?

iamoyindamola:
We have a young prospect already making waves
She’s in lioness squad for euros, her name sounds like aubameyang
I hope to see more of her next season

you mean Michelle Aygemang or na Wubben?

Roland17:
Comrade off ya 🎤

Infact, the acquisition of Sterling reveals more about the tactical approach or philosophy than anything else. Man got him for whatever Pep-ic reason and even he didn't trust his system player enough for minutes. But his system guy was trusted enough to arrive and be unveiled. Interesting. Lol

iamoyindamola:
Don't stress yourself it will blow in our eyes soon
Shebi e no they hard to buy defenders with big money but we are struggling to complete cf deal

The speed of gk and defenders acquisition shows the influence of a tactician and not a financial genius. Reveals a philosophical approach, which means this is not about the board but Mikel Arteta. Na him no wan buy attacker. 💯💯😂

Nobody on that board aside Sports Director sabi football philosophy. Na football money dem sabi pass.

If board release 300m and na defender we see pass and 0 attacks across 11 windows, that's the influence of philosophy and tactical idea of a tactician--Mikel Arteta.


Lol.

Only thing we can lay at board's feet na availability of funds. Anything else na MA.

iamoyindamola:
E shock you
Truth is finally coming out

E no shock me. What's shocking me is how the fans are not seeing these games in play.

Na only Arsenal fans dey do XI wey never even get 50% hope of materializing with the way dem dey do wayo for this transfer market. For now, na noise dey happen. Real noise. Alll of the names we see are still noise.


Why is that when it’s about strikers/attackers arsenal supporters feel Mikel is not backed enough but for midfielders and defenders Mikel is backed enough to spend 105m on one player?

Why do i feel like they go do wayo with final squad for Wafcon? Ashleigh most likely wasn't invited due to recovering and her uefa B duties.

Crux now is the 9s that must complete this squad

Will Blessing Nkor join Onumonu and co?
Which new faces will join each zone(defense, Midfield, attack) at this rate?
Miracle Usani? Shukurat?
Favor? Onyenezide? Efih?
Bolaji? Nkor? Who else?

That Gk dept is not convincing me.
Which even reminds me. Dem Oyono and Omilana? I wish Ozioma was here sha. But even at that, the others don't seem tested for final assessment.

TheSuperNerd:
For Records Sake.

Every sports handle are tweeting about this loss respectfully, except of course that one and only Black and Yellow media house. Tweeting an insulting headline about the loss.

E pain them.

MSGAMBLE9:
You say friendlies? Let Ororo fans catch you


Me I no dey ooo....!!

I be Ororo fan anyway. I just dey yab the tournament from an African pov. Cos they have another tournament dem go dey use dey chance Caf boys in awards and laurels. Lol.

😂😂

MSGAMBLE9:
The main controller yesterday was Ruiz who was the man Merino replaced in midfield beside Zubi... Merino lack of "space awareness" (positional sense) was what Vitinha, Silva exploited more once Ruiz was off in getting Mendes and Leao in-between the space he vacated leaving Porro isolated with either Leoa or Mendes ( almost like PSG 1st_leg all over again)... It was Portugal best and most dangerous spell of the match

🇪🇸 Martin Zubimendi vs Portugal:

120 minutes
118 touches
101 passes
94% pass accuracy
5 duels won
2 interceptions
1 goal


Buh let agree to disagree ....

This is 1st time i was watching and focused on him but Merino wey i no wan bother about kept stealing through. Well i no dey put high expectations on either. Friendlies League is over. Lets see who and who arrives next. 😂😂

Ppogbae:
An African equivalent is long overdue. This "friendly" tournament helps to emulate a high stakes competition, akin to the world cup, and as result, European sides are improving much more rapidly.

It will help Africa more than Chan can ever help IMO

He needs to curb this aspect o. E get why.


I don't like this urge to always show it for all to see. This is not proper abeg. He has the power to curb it

ESPN release top 10 of each position. Remain Fullbacks


An Arsenal player is in allllll of the top 10s except the striker top 10. The player we're chasing no even dey top 15. But Gyokeres is in top 10. Lol.

MSGAMBLE9:
Are you for real? The same Merino that was brought on and the midfield collapsed after Pedri and Ruiz was removed with Leao getting more joy due to Vitinha more freedom... Merino ghosted as usual... that even my United and Chelsea friends joked that Zubi is too good for Arsenal that he's Barca or Real's Material, did you see those surging runs from deep form Zubi...


Merino is our boy buh truth be told, he didn't influence anything when he came on yesterday and he almost gave away PK sef...

Merino defended
Merino pressed
Merino tackled

2/3 are Zubi's duty now. Yet he excelled at it more. I don't think Merino was given controller role in this final.

The ref was truly outstanding.

Merino still outperformed this Zubi sha. For back and front.

Im glad we have MLS. He's in the Mendes Order. It remains b2b pocketing of star wingers. He's great at everything else and he's how old again?

Sadly, no Gunner won anything tonight.

And Diego Costa?? Wow!!

This nations league na ojoro sha. Shey Euros is not enough ni? Motsepe, oya cook up some caf tournament abeg.
