coogar: was it in this period he won a golden boot in an international tournament known as euro 2012? i am not sure - dayo, please help me out.

Yeah it was in the time he had 7 goals in 2yrs for his national team

golden boot winner has lost it? a player who spent less minutes on the pitch than goal machines like ibrahimovic, rooney, mario gomez, ronaldo, benzema and van persie...and still outscored them has lost it? cheiiiiii - dayo is on a roll tonight!

Golden boot winner who was even aa benchwarmer in all games that mattered to the team? and mostly used as a time wasting sub

coogar: the same torres in a blue shirt has scored against man utd, arsenal, barcelona, newcastle, etc(tougher clubs than southampton). sometimes i think you just type in a spaz mode.

Thats why he has 7 almighty goals for Chelsea which he has started every league game for. 7 goals for a top striker who started every game for a top club!!

At least 14 strikers have scored more than Torres

the analogy above is for the simpletons......too simplistic!
henry scored his first goal for arsenal after 2000 mins, macheda did after 3 mins. by dayo's standard, macheda is greater than henry! nice one

Yeah because Henry was bought for 50m, coming from the same league and Henry was a useless striker for bth club and country in the lat 2 yrs

nateevs: Maybe I need to explain to you. Every striker has their style in front goal. Its been overstated even on these threads. Torres plays in between the lines and relies heavily on quick breaks and through passes to be effective. Chelsea don't play the way Torres needs to score. Chelsea have very slow build up which means that more often than not opposition teams will sit back and soak up pressure. Unfortunately, Torres does not have the inherent footballing ability and technique on the level on Berbatov or Demba to wiggle out of tight spaces.

Demba possesses brilliant tecnique And as Chelsea still build up slowly and allow opposition to sit back, it is likely to suit Demba more. This is why you will find Demba inside the box most times - poacher style and Torres outside of it. Torres tries to find space for himself but we don't play to his strengths.


For the reason of our style of play, is why I concede that Demba is likely to score more goals than Torres. I stand by my comments and will never depart from it. Torres is at the very least a 25 goals-a-season striker if employed effectively. Therefore, this not an admittance that Torres is a dud. Far from it mate. This is an admittance of the individual's inherent footballing ability and how it may enhance or impede their chances in a Chelsea shirt. Simple.

Here we go again

Since January 2011 that he moved to Chelsea also coincided with the time players in Spain no longer played to his strenght and scored 7 goals in 2 yrs

Torres after 2010 has lost it, Infact he was always overrated to start with. I have always said and maintained it on here

coogar: what a daft thing to say?
torres has never scored 2 goals in a chelsea shirt before? really?

Actually Torres scored his first Chelsea goal after 1,300 min, Demba scored his first Chelsea goal after 30mins.

Khaki no be leather, Monkey yato si Chimpanzee, Akuwarapa yato so Akuyanyan( Epilepsy is different from Death)

nateevs: On this forum, what you said is considered being stupid.

By all standards its a silly comment. Torres has played in the same setup and played worse teams than SOuthampton yet couldnt score. 2 days ago he played against the worst team in the league QPR and couldnt score even when one vs one

So what gives the assurance that he would have scored today?

Its like saying if I that couldn't manage 1million Naira properly but if I was given 1 million dollars I would have done better

Demba Ba delivered in West Ham, delivered in newcastle and delivered on his debut

Andre Uweh: From neutrality, am sure Torres would have scored today had he played.

You mean from your crystal Prism or as a dibia you saw that Torres that has failed for most of 2yrs would suddenly get it right today

coogar: the key to that goal is the first touch.....
i am sure berbatov, rooney, [size=18pt]torres[/size], drogba(chest) and suarez would have finished like van persie too.

I laff in gurumaharaji

^^ Thats what is called STRIKER. many DUDs would probably miss the control and lose the chance

ferhyntorlah: Onye ego,

I beg to disagree at the bolded. Not every lady is like that, myself inclusive. I have this mentality that once I give you something, I've lost ownership of the stuff. Therefore I have no right/claim to that thing given out except the receiver returns it.

So, if I give something out, I don't go about reminding the receiver that I did so so and so for you, No! Once I've done it, I've done; I moved on. How you choose to use it is your prerogative.

If not me, anybody else could've done it. Anything I do/give, I see it as all act of charity on my part.

I think men are more generous than women Its only a woman that would do something and never let go off it.

If a woman helps a guy up in life the guy would never hear the last of it, thats why most men think its degrading to take anything from a woman

And we cant even count the number of men that have lifted girls up from their village and brought them into riches. Even the prayer of most poor women is to see a man who would lift her up. Its most likely a woman who would say her guy is stingy, you hardly hear guys complain their babe is stingy. Women are conditioned to receive while men to give

Back to the OP I think men are more generous, Women are too self centered to care about anyone, Men are natural givers

When you call your own family what Language do you speak French?

redsun: Are you talking of genuine respect that good men Achebe deserve or nigerian kind of respect for bandits like obj?

Achebe the bigot? I dont think so. More like Prof Wole Soyinka. I think he was one of those who MEND chose to negotiate on their behalf some years back

Get2go: everywhr should be examined, we are interested because we reside and earn living in Lagos

Charity doesnt begin in Lagos, Charity begins at Anambra. Go and start from Anambra and Lagos would consider

Van Persie

Who takes HIV Awolowo serious anymore Anyone who gather with miscreants like Alao-Akala, Arapaja etc isnt worth anything in SW politics.

nateevs: It's not going to happen. Torres was bought for £50m and earns over £150,000 a week. You think Roman and the board will allow any manager to justify earning that much and doing nothing? Unless there's been a consensus to move Torres on, Demba will play some games and Torres will play some games.

Mr Andy Carroll sat comfortably on Liverpool bench with the 35m tag

bennyraz: abeg.. what do you mean thAT CHELSEA TEAM DOESN'T CREATE

That was what some Torres advocate told us earlier in the season that the team doesnt create chances for Torres

Would anyone be surprised if Nateevs and Ibime are shaggginng themselves in London

These love they profess on NL pass titanic own

Get2go: [b][ If GEJ can win Lagos in 2011, then Non-indigenous Lagos Governor is realisable./b]

GEJ won Oyo, Ogun, Ondo, Kwara, Enugu, Anambra, Plateau, Taraba etc So let non indegenes too go and rule those states

PointB: Why is it annoying to use Lagos? Is Lagos not a microcosm of Nigeria, judging from its cosmopolitan nature?

The earlier folks like you begin to accept that beyond, Yoruba, other non-indigenes are also stake holders in Lagos, the better for all of us.

@topic,
It is politics, who has the support base should go for it. In a free and fair election, Tinubu imposition of candidate will come crashing like a house of card. Let the game begin!

Anambra is also a microcosm of Nigeria abi is Anambra a microcosm of Ethiopia? So let A Yoruba man or hausa rule in Anambra first before we examine the Lagos case

[quote author=A-40]I'm no psychic but I see a lot of bench riding in Fernando Torres's future[/quote]Dont be too sure. In life dont bet against some things, Man Utd comebacks, Dont bet against Spanish alliances, Roman gayy fantasies

Dont be surprised if Demba Ba gets into Police trouble and gets arrested to allow Torres or the find one thing to rope him into like it happened to Anelka, Drogba, Kalou, Lukaku one by one they all dissapeared and coincidentally involved with Black Panther brotherhood

nateevs: Simple. Demba Ba is an all-round better footballer than Torres is. Also, he has a better instinct for goals than Torres does.
And I never said the midfield does not create chances, I said they create only few chances.

So far, we've created only 3 chances for Ba. United would have created about 10.

That was quoted and bolded for posterity

From the 3 chances created Ba has 2 goals already and one well taken header saved

Did anyone see how Demba Ba ran pulled out for the header and powered the header?

Scoring goals is not by luck or laying on a plate its by making an effort

Nateevs

[size=14pt]Why do you think Ba would score more goals if given the same chances and minutes Torres was given playing in front of the same selfish midfield that doesnt create chances?[/size]

coogar: na wash!
eden hazard did more in his first 2 games until he fizzled out. this is the easiest match demba ba would play for chelsea......the league games would prove his mettle in the coming weeks.

Southampton the opponent is a Premier league side. I'm sure Fernandud played Southampton how did he fare

Demba Ba scored his first Chelsea goal in 30min How long did it take Torres to score his first chelsea goal after 1035mins of football

[size=28pt]DEMBA BAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA[/size]

The same Selfish players have now made 2 goals for Demba Ba within 60mins

I don talk am to score tap in or get goals on a plate does the player have to do something? Ba just showed us scoring is dependent on the Striker

Well said

Obasanjo ko Haruna ni

nateevs: Dayoooo! The same goal Torres scored a few weeks ago and you called a "tap in". Demba will probably score more goals than Torres but at least be fair in your analysis.

Actually I didnt knock Torres for scoring a tap in , I asked what did others do differently to make him score the tap in and the penalty

Legendary strikers like Inzaghi, Ruud made a career of scoring tap ins.

Why do you think Ba would score more goals if given the same chances and minutes Torres was given playing in front of the same selfish midfield that doesnt create chances?

Why should Arsenal renew the contract of RvP and give him what he deserves?

He is 29yrs Oopppps Villa is 31

Sorry thats not the reason RvP is injury prone ooopppppsssss Villa is coming from a year long injury layoff

RvP already used to the team, Spent years in the league, Team Captain, Boost team spirit that youre not a selling club(actually sold to the rival), The sold player is now top scorer in the league for the rival

Opening bid of 13million which Barca has rejected and might go up to 17 or 20m A salary of at least 7m a yr

This is the same Villa who would never have considered Arsenal if all things were equal Like Dayokanu dating Kardashian when Kim is 62yrs old and an old peoples home. This has turned into Alardyce buying Hierro, Ivan Campo etc

Demba Ba not passed medicals and scored 36 league goals in 2 seasons In the same time Fernando Torres who passed medicals in flying colors eve got first class Honours in Medicals has 14 league goals

Talk about a club management without focus. This might be the right time to sign Zidane

Ba don score already

He probably brought the chance from home or created it for himself by collect the ball from the keeper and driblled all the way to the goal

AWARENESS and INSTINCT on the field thats how strikers score most goals

edoyad: A team that couldn't even finish top four in the EPL disgraced the only team in Germany, right there in the Pseudo Germany National Stadium, sometime May 2012

You mean the team that won the EPL in 2005, 2006 and 2010

Schalke that molested Arsenal have not won the Bundesliga for over 50yrs

I dey laff
