Devil's advocate time!




Did he say they weren't available? Not that I am aware of, so you're reaching here. Secondly being 'available' isn't the same as wanting to sign for your club or being able to agree terms/fees. Other clubs are available and the factors may not always line up to result in a transfer - bear that in mind.



With due respect, how large was the margin between output of those players and those at Chelski last season? Even if it's not



No two seasons are the same - the much vaunted Chelski are struggling more than us at the minute despite signings, others who have spent 100m and more are not much better. It would be good to get signings no doubt but clearly others have bought and haven't quite hit the heights either.

1. Yes he did. Check his interview on BEIN sports. We have 200m to spend. Yes the transfer market is crazy, but thats just how it is. I don't think 50m for benzema or Cavani is that bad or that much of a gamble. Both are world class strikers.

2. Diego costa scored 20 in 26, Giroud 16 in 27, Welbeck 4 in 25 and walcott 5 in 14. Oh yeah Remy got 7 in 21. Lets not also forget that this pipe giroud has not scored more than 16 in the league since he signed for us which is disgraceful considering the midfield we have.
3. Yes 2 seasons are not the same hence why chelsea (who finished 12 points ahead of us) and city have added new players.City are now FAR stronger than we are and are rightly top of the league. Our start to the season is almost similar to that of last season (infact its even worse) so yes its right not to expect anything better. 95 percent of the first team is fit, so no excuses of injury. The socalled cohesion which was suppose to be our trump card is no where to be found.
Fact is the good run we had at the end of the season is the best this team can do....and that is clearly not good enough to win the league.

Wenger and LVG are cut from the same cloth...both think they're still in the 90s. Stubborn geezers.

It has truly dawned on me that Wenger is not a serious manager and has no intention of even winning the league.
So this mugu wants us to believe there wasn't any upgrades on Giroud and Coq that was available throughout this window? This mugu HONESTLY believes he can win the league with Giroud, Welbeck and Walcott?? Shows you how arrogant he really is to think that a team which finished 12 points behind chelsea last season is good enough to win the league against IMPROVED opposition.

Is it me or is Angela's boss one of Lobos connect?? I suspect he put the card in Ghost's office.

Both.

Oh one of d yoruba E-diots is here

Anumpam, because I'm not a daft useless bigot like you means I'm yoruba??

ElFenomeno1:

Looool. Harsh but true.

ImoBoi:
[size=13pt]Yoruba pple are full of shhiit[/size]

slowpoke, why can't you just say she's full of shit instead?

VickyRotex:
Sweet Lord!!!! #Faints

Wake me up when you write another JAMB and score above 230.

No worry, I no need your shoe size, shogbo?

He/she was obviously being sarcastic.

pickabeau1:
Lets see how the season goes
But the game against westham was expectred to be a bread and butter game..lol

The team got carried away by the hype. Maybe that loss was a blessing in disguise.

chrisley024:
Zaha licking his lips

Bellerin is way faster than that manure reject.

Crativjosh:
dude is a good player, wish him the best. but why naija players like Ukraine and russia??... make dem try english league na, even if na second division.

La liga or bundesliga would be better. Epl is overhyped.

Chartey:
Not exactly.

Emmm it is??

safarigirl:
dunno....Denayer's getting the no.9 shirt so he might just take the role. Considering WBA isn't that much competition, City might want to try out their newbies for this one.

Sterling and Iheanacho on the flanks and Denayer in the centre in a 4-3-3 formation

Isn't Denayer a cb?

If you can't get the best, make the best of what you've got. #Logic

And what if the "best you have" is not good enough?? #Logic

Spy360:
So what are you waiting for? Go and sign Messi, Ronald and Suarez for us na. Abeg!

How does that change the fact that those 3 are average strikers??

raumdeuter:
Thierry Henry flopped badly in Serie A came to the EPL and made it his biatch winning top scorer 4 times

Anelka scored 2 league goals in La Liga yet won the EPL top scorer

Santacruz averaged 5 goals a season in Bundesliga for 10yrs came to EPL and netter 19 league goals

Do you need more examples

I was talking about your point you made about only the best from EPL being able to top the scoring charts in la liga.
Like I said, I personally think the la liga is the best in Europe.

pickabeau1:
arsene hater

Loool na them know. No serious team with title aspirations will have a frontline consisting of Giroud, Welbeck and Walcott.
Its disgraceful.

Coming from a useless team that has spent almost 300m in 2 seasons yet they have
- A shitty defence
- Average strikers.
- Waste pipes like fellaini and Johnny Evans.

We still need a striker and a dm. This squad as it is will not smell second place.

raumdeuter:
Guys that went from epl to la liga were the best from the English league they were top scorers and best players in epl none of those who came from LA liga to epl was ever top scorer nor la liga best player

Diego Forlan flopped terribly at manure before he went to the la liga and won the pichichi twice. Still think that the La liga is the best though.

Costa dey too soft. This guy probably pulls a muscle when he puts his boxers on.

bykebyke:
Gumbau does not play the same position as Samper.

Aren't they both cm??

bykebyke:
Say wetin happen ...we do not sell our future Beasts.

Yet enrique starts gumbau or whatever over him??

How far with Samper? Make una free the guy make him join Arsenal

Lordemperoris100:

Just remembered waking up early in the morning to watch cartoon marathons on ktv/kworld from 6am to 12:30 and one time when cartoon network showed Tom and Jerry for the whole day. Good times...

Not just being on radar, pressure the NFF to commence his switch in nationality.
The following players too should be swooped:
Chuba Akpom (Arsenal) -19 years old forward.
Alex Iwobi (Arsenal) -19 years old midfielder
Sammy Ameobi (Newcastle)-23 years old winger
Bobby Adekanye (Liverpool) -16years old
Chuks Aneke (Zulte Waragen)- 22 years old Midfielder
Dominic Solanke (Chelsea FC) -17 years old Forward
Semi Ajayi (Cardiff) -21 yrs old defender
Kenny Otigba ( SC Hereenveen) -22 years old defender

Thanks to Keshi for already capping the following:
William Troost-Ekong (FC Dodrecht) -21years old defender
Anderson Esiti (Estoriol Praia) -21 year old Midfielder
Kingsley Madu ( FK AS Trencin) -19 years old defender (Started for his Club in a UEFA Champions league play-off game on July14th 2015. He also featured at 2013 WYC in Turkey, outstanding left back in the Nigeria vs Chad game.)
All 3 should be in Siasia's radar

Of all the players you mentioned, only Otigba can be said to be ready to play for the national team.

It was a good finish. However, he lost possession alot especially in the second half.
The argument of him being put in the wrong position should be put to bed now.

Why is shit on front page? ?
This is getting ridiculous now.

PubLlcEnemy:
How many trophies has portugal won? How consistent have they been in international tournaments?

Since the mid nineties Nigeria has been consistent in the world cup and have won more trophies than portugal.. Nigeria from the mid 90s till late 2000s has had better international reputation than portugal..if not for mismanagement we would have continued and built on all that.

They have come third, fourth and qualified for the round of 16. Nigeria hasn't gone further than the second round.
So how has nigeria been more consistent in international tournaments (which is presumably the world cup).
Nigerian football has been overrated for a while now since our golden generation flopped at france 98.
