I never said: Ebere Eze is similar to Mane.

I said: the only player we have who comes close to Mane is Ebere Eze. Very different meanings.

And secondly, playmaking doesn't necessarily warrant similarity.

Bruno and James Rodriguez are both playmakers, but their playing styles are so different.

And I don't think Ebere Eze is similar to Grealish: Eze has far better technique, while Grealish has quicker feet. Eze is the better finisher, Grealish has better ball control.

Nah, Onyekuru and Ahmed Musa are different gravvy. At his prime, Ahmed Musa offered way more than Onyekuru today. Very unpredictable.
Similarly in what aspect? Star power? Mercurial ability?

James Rodriguez is more of a classic playmaker than Bruno. Bruno is an end product machine...more of a second striker. James controls the tempo of a game better.

I don't think Eze's technique is "far superior" to that of Grealish(you could make an argument of it being on par).
Musa is obviously more accomplished but I do think both are similar. Onyekuru unfortunately has not proven himself at the higher level.

Though you have your point but USA and western nations are no only one taking Afghanistan refugees even since last year there been Afghanistan refugees going different places, only reason we hear of USA and co is because they dominate news, even Uganda took in some Afghanistan refugees, many countries are taking in refugees from Afghanistan as at today.
The likes of Pakistan and Iran are taking in a bulk of those refugees.

Larry Elder talks on the Hannity show about the democrat biggest fear and nightmare.
If democrat Senator Feinstein who is 82 retires with Larry as governor, he could appoint a Republican senator to the senate. That would give the Republican vs Democrats 51-50 seats , when Kamala Harris tie break vote is considered.
Democrats will never allow Elder to win. Expect ballot fraud.


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r3IRAT-4coQ

Reminds of the Supreme Court Ruth Ginsburg. She would have retired during Obama time but did not. Clinton had she won would have replaced Ginsburg with a leftist judge.
What a load of rubbish. Democrats have a veto-proof majority in both the house and Senate. If they were REALLY desperate, they would've changed this law a long time ago.
This Feinstein talk is just a way to energize Dem voters.
Worse case scenario - Newsom gets recalled and Dems retain the Governorship next year. I don't see anything happening to Feinstein between now and next year.

I am saying Obama is a politician who flip flopped about gay marriage depending on the direction the wind is blowing. Obama pushes anti family values. I specifically said politicians push values On others they themselves don't believe or follow it only affects the mass.

Larry elder might be looking at it from business owners perspective. Business and people leave the city because of high cost in tax and living which force even struggling businesses to meet that minimum wage criteria but even so minimum wage is a standard and a model used globally I don't understand his reasoning behind that.

Saying there should be no minimum wage at all and saying states should set there's are two different things. Raumdeuter and you and I agree that states should make their minimum wage but saying there should be no standard set by state or federal government is crazy. I think he should clarify on that.

In the UK London has its minimum wage set base on the cost of living. My friends mom tobi lives in Essex but work in London because housing cost is through the roof.
I was living in Crystal palace one of the place that makes sense in terms of cost of living and is not crowded. I hate crowd and too much people.
Obama does not push anti family values. He speaks about the absent black fathers as much as(If not more) than your black conservatives.

You complain that Newsome put laws that he himself breaks. They are politicians bro. They are hypocrites. Obama push many anti family agendas. His stance on gay marriage was determinant on the trend of gay marriage.

Politicians will put policies that will have you destroyed or dependent on them while they do something different for their family.

About the minimum wage I don't support and I Will like to know his reasoning or point of view about that.

And In addition, they have passed a lot of laws that discourages marriage or family.
Are you saying Obama supporting gay marriage makes him anti family?? I'm as pro family as they come but I could care less what two grown adults decide to do with their lives. If Government is involved in marriage, then anyone regardless of their sexual orientation should be allowed to get married. The only issue is when churches are forced to wed gay couples...thats a big NO in my book.

Like raumdeuter said earlier - the case of minimum wage should be looked at from a state to state basis. Larry Elder saying there should be zero minimum wage in Cali is just fantasy.

I dont live in California and dont know the local politics there or how Newsome has performed

Regarding minimum wage, I dont think that should be set by Federal govt, at best let each state set their own minimum wage according to the standard of living. The wage that wont feed you in NY and Cali might make you a baller in Missisipi

Moreover forces of demand and supply will force employers to pay up for top talents as long as things like "Non competes" are eliminated

If you have a skill needed badly, employers will outbid themselves for you

I believe some of the problem with crime and other societal problems stems from the breakdown of the family structure. [b]Its easier for 2 adults to raise children than for one for obvious reasons. They probably have more income, they likely will have stability when one is working one be at home to care for the family. [/b]So they kids dont get raised by the street and get preyed upon
Agree with the bolded. That has always been my view. Cost of living and inflation should be factored in when talking about minimum wage.
The second point isn't just a conservative view. It's why Liberals push for paid family leave, better protection for pregnant workers, etc.
Newsom has mainly performed poorly in homelessness and maybe crime. He has polled okay in terms of the economy(Cali had a budget surplus of 75b).

Don't you think you got yourself in a situation where trying to see through the lens of Sowell is a bit hard for you?

The guys was a Marxist and they talk mainly from experience and hardship they face during Jim Crow. They know what family was to a black man before now.

Also could you compare but Larry's talking points or policies to Newsome and see which one makes sense.
Nah. I like his basic economics book and would suggest it's studied in Econs 101.
In regards to the bolded - what makes you think family does matter to the black Liberal? Is Obama not a family man? Hasn't he talked about the issue of a fatherless home many times?

Larry Elder thinking there shouldn't be a minimum wage is crazy. He is right that Newsom hasn't done much to deal with homelessness. I've already said I'm not a fan of both but I'd rather see Newsom complete his term instead of this lame power grab attempt Cali GOP are pulling in the middle of a pandemic.

I agree he is quite unique. But I believe he is more Salah than Mane.

Although similar movements and pace. He lacks the dribbling ability, technique, weak foot proficiency and long-range shooting that has made Mane what he is today.

Like Salah, he is one-footed and prefers dribbling on the run while Mane prefers man to man. He also has very similar attacking aggression with the former. Even with this, Onyekuru plays way closer to goal than orthodox wingers. Like a second striker.

In fact, I think the only player we have who plays like Mane is Ebere Eze, yet he is still far behind.
Ebere Eze is more of a playmaker than Mane. If anything, I think he's a bit similar to Grealish than Mane.
Onyekuru is your typical scoring wide forward...similar to peak Ahmed Musa.

They don't. The right dog-whistle immigrants with the agenda of spreading fear and hatred, something that comes across in your unhinged posts - a black man writing about fear of inter-racial marriage. Spits.

Obama was the most prolific president at deportations. He went about it quietly and efficiently without causing hatred or any group to be offended. That's what responsible leaders do, not make a good percentage of their citizens feel hated.
They never get tired of this "all Liberals want open borders to aid the browning of America" talk.

Edi287 you got a lot to learn bro. Thomas Sowell is a legend and he got the experience to show teach you that handouts never get you anywhere. Same with Larry elder. Listen to his policy vs his openent and reason on it to deduce the ones that actually makes sense. Larry elder was called a white Supremacist and that alone should make you question how democrats vilify their openent.
I have Thomas Sowell books. I've known about him since high school. Mostly agree with him on economic issues...I just don't think social safety nets aimed at kids and the elderly are "handouts".
Its also a bit weird to suggest the "free market" will help combat racism.
I've already said Newsom is a slowpoke and the bolded is an example of it. I don't like Larry Elder but I'd never say something that stupid.

He has a mean streak/edge to him that most players have. Nothing wrong with it.

Teach me something new edi. Tell me one Republican State that is doing better than California that you are disparaging a good Governor. Do you know the surplus created by Newsom and how buoyant California is. You just follow the right wing propaganda machine and put it on here. Waiting for one Republican State doing as good as California. Willing to learn from you.
I live in CA. Newsom was a hypocrite for flouting COVID restrictions HE PUT in place.
While I do think this is a cheap, pathetic power grab by CA Republicans - I've never been a big fan of Newsom.
He has been slow on tackling homelessness.

California is not Al-Alabama so I am not scared for Newsome smiley
The GQP is just wasting their time with this sham of a recall, recall Newsome and replace him with a Qanon lunatic

How can one of the best economy in the world be governed by a Qultist angrythis people are ridiculous imagine if this pulls through, California will be Al-Alabama in a few years and will be known as Al-California all the progress made will be retrogressed.
I don't believe the women of California will let that happen after all the vile things that man has said about women.
Let's be honest- Newsom is a bloody slowpoke. If there was a reasonable Republican candidate, I wouldn't mind them staying one year.
However I don't like Larry Elder. Dude is a cheap imitation of Thomas Sowell. Switch Elder for a younger Sowell and maybe I wouldn't care.
Dems should be a bit worried. They're places that don't even know a recall is happening.
If Dems vote anywhere close to how they do, Newsom survives EASILY.

Why do we think that?
He's never scored 20 goals a season before, but we agree he can if he gets a run of games
Well, barring injury, Awoniyi will get a run of games. This time I am backing him to deliver 20+ goals
He's got 3
17+ to go
He's got all Kelechi has
I feel this is his time
Call it a hunch or something, but I am convinced
Nacho is a better finisher than Awoniyi. Taiwo could get 20 goals depending on how Union uses him.

Okay,
Sadiq Umar will create or operate as a creative forward. (This is why i value him because of his creativity and versatility and not just the league he is in)
Taiwo Awoniyi will come in from the wings. He sometimes plays in the wings for his club
Osimhen will play as top 9 and sometimes drift to the wings
Iwobi, nwakali, eze or whoever will be in midfield to supply the passes and creativity.

Rohr can try this option in a friendly or if we qualify for the world cup
with matches to spare, he can try it in that kind of needless match


Bro, you can't play Osimhen and Awoniyi as RF and LF...even if you have Sadiq as a 9. You did one person comfortable in tight spaces and above average dribbler.
Never mind that, but it would also impact the midfield. The likes of Aribo would literally run into those front 3 lol.
When Uruguay did that, they had way more balance. Cavani - Forlan - SUAREZ had it all.

Philosopher1979:
BEST FORMATION TO EXPLORE OUR ATTACKING OPTIONS

Our strenght lies in attack.
I think we can play with 3 strikers at the same time.
Osimhen and Awoniyi as left and right forwards and a striker like Moffi in the middle.
The three of them can even interchange positions because of their mobility.
This way, we will confuse our opponents.
Our strikers can play as wide forwards. Wide forwards are semi-wingers who can do as they like.
Also, Sadiq Umar can play as a wide forward and supporting strker at the same time.
I mean play Sadiq umar behind osimhen and only one winger. Let him roam.
These ideas are in my mind.
The fluidity of our strikers should be exploited.
I think France plays like this sometimes.
We can use wide forwards and a striker who can be mobile.
Front 3 would be way too imbalanced. Who will hold width? Who will drift in? Who will create if all 3 are interchanging?
All three aren't great dribblers too.
