Mikhi rejected arsenal and just yesterday u raised ur bid to 28M.

And you can't see it's dortmund that's refusing to sell

chrisley024:
Not only about having the money, other things like does the player or the club want the move and competition from other clubs come into play.

I think Aub and Mahrez are very unlikely.

They are very likely if they want to leave especially mahrez, the only unrealistic target there is aub cause it's gonna be difficult to buy two of their biggest stars

I believe mahrez is very likely

lekkie073:
it would be hard for any single club to buy auba mikki and mahrez in one single transfer season.....

all other clubs r not sleeping na?

Mhiki and mahrez are realistic targets for us, we can get them both

chrisley024:
Hehe. In Football Manager

It's very possible, Shey we get 200million to spend

------ aub -------

Martial-- mhiki-- mahrez/mane

Meanwhile, OJB is dead

Doslop:
Dope, those technical white players you think are so good will never make it in Africa without strength, we have thousands of Davis in Africa but the system wouldn't allow them! Is there any white player more skilful than Naymer at the moment?

Though black, I don't place him under the category of the kind of black players I'm talking about

You have made my point, technicality has nothing to do with strength or power, take a look at what position most blacks thrive in Europe

Diademk07:
We have less technical black players in the top leagues because majority of those players are africa players with little football education.
However, countries with good numbers of blacks amidst them has good technical black players.

You are getting me wrong, I never said blacks aren't technical, I made mention of peeps like martial, okocha and co

But if we are to look at the numbers, the whites take the cake, it is not a wrong notion that black players especially those with deep African roots are all pace, power and less technicality

Shall we look at positions where the blacks have made their marks?

elampiro:
There are more whites in the game. May be you should look at it from the ratio of technically gifted white players to total white players in the game. Vice versa.

Or we can also look at it from the ratio of technically gifted white players to technically gifted black players, then we see what we come up with

Doslop:
Why name a whole 50, name your most technical white player and I'll give you a black player that's much more technical, skill full, physical and all in one!
I'm not saying there are no white technical players but all in all! Black players are better just like I said, there are more whites in Europe, there's hardly any team with 20% black players in Europe why should you compare the few to a white dominated continent. For every 10 black player in Europe, there are 100 white players

Show me a black xavi, iniesta, pirlo, ozil, silva, mata in his prime, messi

I mean black players that are equally matched

Doslop:
That's a big fallacy, the biggest problem the blacks have is upbringing. Go watch Brazilian league where there are fair share if black and whites then tell me the whites are better technically. 85% of technical players coming from Brazil to Europe are blacks. In Europe, most black players there are not tallented, should they have grown up in Africa or South America, they will not smell the field of play. The reason you see many mediocre black players in Europe is because they were forced to play football at early age. They're are more dumb white footballers than blacks.

You know you still haven't distorted the fact that black players are less technical, you know that right? You are just giving me reasons why they are less technical

This an argument about football in general, world wide, if I give you the task of naming 50 black technical players, will you be able to handle it without cracking your brain? Whereas I can just pick my 50 from barca, madrid, bayern Munich, atletico madrid, dortmund, man city, chelsea

Doslop:
I have been following this thread for a long time without having any urge to post anything until today. How can any football fan in their right mind say blacks are less technically gifted? There is no physical and technical sport in the world blacks doesn't dominate exempt the ones we aren't very exposed.
Can any of you list more technical players in the history of football better than pele, delima, ronaldinho, Okocha, rivaldo, thiery Henry, Roberto Carlos, Denison, Patrick viera, seedorf, Drogba, etoo. Infact they are endless.
Forget the fact that football is more developed in Europe. Should Africans have same opportunities as they do, there's no competition. The blacks and white has their fair share of technical and Phidias players, should we look for the best technical players to have ever graced football, they definitely will be blacks. The only advantage the whites have is early training and more suffisticated facilities.

For every 10 black technical players, there are a 100 white technical players.. FACT

Diademk07:
Why not?
This is player who constantly started Leicester attack while operating in a 2-man midfield. The last time he operated in a 3-man midfield as a box-box CM for France, he scored a goal. Hence, I won't say his attacking play is lacking.
Also, did you watch France match against Romania? Despite operating in the holding role, he was pulling off penetrative vertical passes between the lines and lovely long passes. There was a time he hit an accurate 60 yard long pass, he was just too good in that match.
As per technique, I can't say who's better because as far I'm concerned, if you have a lovely first touch and can operate quite well in tight space to the extent of evading your marker/pressures, you have a fantastic technique. All these Kante is quite capable of.
Most times, opposition had tried to man-mark at Leicester but he often bounced off them. For example, the Stoke game where everyone was on his neck yet he still came out as the best player in that game. I doubt Pogba would have been as important as Kante in a 2-man midfield.
The season responsibility shifted to him after Pirlo nd Vidal left, he had an average season. It still baffles me how people rates him at 70mil after the season he had. He's not even worth 40mil.

I don't think kante is better than pogba going forward though, at least not with what i've watched, kante is the type of guy that does the dirty job behind but limited attack wise

We really can't compare because one sometimes play a deeper role than the other

I don't rate pogba that high too as I also feel he is not worth that amount

It is no news that mourinho is a defensive minded coach hence the kinda players he's been scouting thus far, that defensive approach is what I don't really want to be honest, i'm running outta words on how to get my point across

MrTA:
Take out the ugly from your post and you still think your post is acceptable? If you do, fine. Guess we'll have to agree to disagree on that one. its definitely a very crass statement I wouldnt accept a white person saying it. Even without the ugly part.

Now let's take out the ugly from my post

"We are beginning to sign too many black players"

Dopejemi thinks 95 percent of black players are not technical compared to white players but didn't say all black players are not technical hence the reference to some other black players like coman, douglas, pogba, okocha and co..


Now let's assume this is the NBA thread

Dopejemi says "we are beginning to sign too many white players" why? Because he thinks black people are better in the game than the white folks but he doesn't think all whites are terrible at b.ball

Dopejemi feels a particular race is better at a particular sport than the other race when you look at the majority, but doesn't rule out the entire race, GBR1 already explained why that is


It is fact that Asians are good at math

Diademk07:
As far as I'm concerned, eventhough ugly, Kante is quite better than Pogba. He's quite intelligent, can dribble and quite good on the ball in tight spaces.
Trying fancy unnecessary tricks while being rubbish in your overall ply doesn't make you a good player. Pogba is ugly as well.

Is kante better than pogba going forward? I don't think so, who do you think is more technical between the duo?

Put kante's face on pogba's body, I would take kante's face on pogba's body not minding the face but his technicality

When I said ugly black players, I meant too different things, one, I like my team to consist of fine players whether black or white... two, I like my team to consist of technical players whether black or white, and it just so happens that the players we've signed and scouted don't fit my description, hence the ugly black players remark

You wouldn't have seen me make that statement if it were players like douglas Costa, coman and their likes we were in for

GBR1:
Alright, I understand you.

No, because it's actually true. They currently suck at it just like running. The white folks in the US have access to standard facilities but they don't end up good basketball players because the natural conditions like athleticism, talent etc just more often favor the black folks in basketball and training isn't enough to compensate for that. About 60 years ago when there segregation existed and Jim crow laws were the order of the day in the US, NBA was heavily dominated by white players unlike today and you can't have said now or then that those white basketball players were terrible. I hope you get my point.

Yes I understand

MrTA:
@DopeJemi. I think I get the point you are trying to make. It doesn't stop your original post being crass and generally terrible.

Do better bro. Not cool to speak about black people that way in any capacity. Joking or not.

Explain to me how "we are beginning to scout too many ugly black players" is crass? The fact that I added "ugly" shows I wasn't generalising, same way I could have said "we are beginning to sign too many ugly white players"

I think you guys are the racists here, if my initial statement was, "we are beginning to sign too many ugly white players" I don't think it would have gathered this much attention.. just because I think the black players we've been scouting lately are not fine which is obvious for all to see doesn't make me a racist, I think it puts me more on the side of a realist, kante is ugly, there's no two ways about it, there's no sugar coating it because he's black, is that the reason why I don't want him in my team? No, does it make me a racist cause I feel a certain black player is ugly, Hell to the No,

I shouldn’t call a black person ugly but I can call a white fella ugly? Now that is racism, I place the black and white race on the same level that's why I can call a person from either of the race whatever I like, If y'all place us on the same level, y'all wouldn't be too cautious about a particular race, if I call a white man an idiot, because I feel we are one and the same, I can also refer to a black man as an idiot, we all have blood flowing through our veins which is red in colour

I didn't complain when we signed martial, evra, nani, saha and co, I didn't even consider martial to be a cute fella when he signed but I loved the kinda football he played which wasn't gidi gidi

If we had scouted Diego Costa, I would have said the same thing too, cause i'm one of those fans who mock chelshit fans using Costa.

I am the kind of person that likes my team to consist of fine technical players, whether black or white

I thought being racist means condemning a particular race whether fine or not, call me anything but being a racist is what I am not
