coogar: @ elampiro,

1 goal, 3 assists in 7 league starts? very poor??
sometimes you make me want to stomp on you!!! was nani poor or injury kept him from playing last season?

In my opinion he was poor. I didn't enjoy his game. May be because I have a high expectation of him. But I believe Nani can do wonders, it is unfortunate we have the three of them at same time- Nani, Valencia and Young. Rotation can affect players.

I respect Robben. He makes things happen for his team. He is a big game player and he hardly disappoints. He lifts his entire team.

I am a big fan of Nani, but I respect Robben more. Two or three years ago, Nani appeared to have great potential of competing with CR7 in the future, but it appears to be fading now. Nani was very poor last season, even poorer than Valencia, Young and Giggs. But on a good day, Nani can perform wonders as we saw against Madrid. Nani has the benefit of two feet, accurate shots, speed, sharp dribbling but he looks to hate competition from team mates. Once Valencia is fit, Nani becomes conscious of his game and plays badly. But given a free hand without Valencia on the bench, Nani is able to express himself.

Ribery is good but he looks to me as just a team member. He can be great but he doesn't seem to have so much influence on the entire play.

Conclusion: As of today, I will say it's Robben-Nani- Ribery. When you think of Bayern Munich and consider the key players lifting them consistently in recent years, you have to think of Robben. When you think of Holland, he is also a key man. He has so much confidence in his ability which helps him to destroy big opponents. That is so important. He is always driving from side towards the eighteen and unsettling defenders while at same time helping his team mates to run into positions. In contrast, Nani runs often along the line down to the corner flag, this most often makes him hit a bad cross into the 18 yards area or get stuck. Then he tries few tricks while strikers are waiting for the ball. But he also sometimes run across the 25 yard to try hit a volley. The funny thing is both adopt same approach in their nationals teams and it works far better for Robben.

As a United fan, I will like Nani to live up to his potentials and win regular selection. He does things that he alone can do, but he is not consistent at doing them and sometimes run into troubles. He also sometimes give away the ball easily.

[quote author=ATM-CARD].Hw can a reasonable being ask dis kind of qtn?Whc village r u 4rm plz?[/quote]What do you mean? Football is just a game, it doesn't teach anything. The players and coaches are unreasonably paid millions every week.

ozodigboo: Am sorry, but we Nigerians are some of the greatest hypocrites ever.
BBA must not interest EVERYBODY - must every TV show have a theme ?
Some of us watch Nollywood 24hrs daily - what does it teach ?
Gollywood [ ghanaian movies ] are now glorified porn videos - what do they teach ?
Most of us watch several explicit American music videos - what do they teach ?
Some of us have downloaded hundreds of porn videos in our laptops , yet we can't watch BBA because its IMMORAL.
SMH - people just comment without watching - i have been watching this BBA, and no singl sex scene has been aired since May 26.
The only way u can access BBA [ sex whatever ] is by subscribing to BBA-VIP at a cost [ and its optional ].

Guys, plz loosen up - life isn't this serious. Relax. As a doctor i ve seen so many deaths in my career - plz enjoy ur life while u can, whenever u can , within sensible boundaries.

You are correct. The way they say it's corrupt, It's corrupt is not exactly like that. It is an interesting show to me. Many housemates spend 91 days in the house without having sex, but the critics here have sex every now and them. BBA is more decent than many musical clips and it teaches human behavior in a way.

If I may ask what does football teach?

Fussbot: I saw it too on facebook but with no source,and I didn't see it on any sports sites..dat's y I asked..did u see it on any sites?

Thiago most often communicate via his twitter and the papers will translate it. A certain website sports website carried the news. If I find time I will check well.

Manchester United have rejected a bid in the region of €7 million for winger Nani from Turkish giants Galatasaray.

The Turkish club's chairman Unal Aysal revealing that the club's €7m bid for the winger had been rejected as United hold out for a fee closer to €10m.

Aysal told Milliyet: "We offered 7 million euros for him, but they didn't accept. We can't give more than this.

"We are not going to follow Nani anymore. We can't give more than 7 million euros for him. They want 10 million euros. Because of this he is not on our transfer list anymore." (Source: goal.com)

.........

So Nani is now so poor as to be so cheap?

Meanwhile, the Ronaldo rumour refused to die. The Sun is reporting that Ronaldo will be unveiled in August 8th in a e80m deal, just before Ferdinand testimony.

Fussbot: source

I saw it too. I didn't share 'cos it was already mentioned.

Emperoh: Manchester United? They are a top club, De Gea talks highly of them, so a move there would interest me for sure! I'm not sure about the weather there but they have tried once before, I think now this move excites me!"

- Thiago Alcantara

May be we will get one of the Barca midfield players or/and Strootman. ...My 'prayer'.

“Fabregas is just the sort of all-action midfield player United needif they are to make a run at next season’s Champions League.” Denis Irwin

A similar thing happened in AAU about two years ago. Both the lecturer and the female student were sent packing. I think there are ethics and constitution guiding students and lecturers. This lecturer, the female student here and the man holding a stick if identified may be severely sanctioned. I don't know how it works, but it looks like this case will go the way of that of AAU. It might end up being a bad case for the students too, something they didn't envisage.

It looks like some people have taken laws into their hands and they may have to face disciplinary committee. This will be a complex and difficult case for the students involved.

Fussbot: Off topic:

Wtf is wrong with all these barca cowards?then it was xavi,pique,their vice president,cryuff,and now iniesta saying stuff about mourinho..they only had d gut to talk wen he had left..*m not a fan of both but it's getting rili annoying naw...

Anoda observation of mine is,y are all dis portuguese players not happy @ madrid?ronaldo,mourinho,coentrao?

What did Iniester say?

Paris Saint-Germain defender Thiago Silva has
called for his club to sign wantaway Manchester
United striker Wayne Rooney in the summer.
The Selecao captain has encouraged the PSG
board to continue their pursuit of Rooney,
insisting the England international will be a
"quality" signing.
"I love this player. Whenever I have played
against him he has scored," Silva said. "I would
really like Rooney to sign for PSG. This would be
a reinforcement of quality for us."

Iykeponti: DON'T COMMENT ON D MATTER THATS BIGGFR THAN U O.K.

Exactly.

From the responses, you will notice a pattern among the females. They see nothing wrong or are even defending Sanusi and his alleged mistress. It shows that all women are the same.


Now this whole thing got me really thinking. Those women in GEJ govt..... Some are even untouchable.

Nani's future at Manchester United remains uncertain

United winger Nani has admitted that leaving Manchester United this summer is a possibility.

Speaking to Portugese media outlet RTP, Nani said: "I have not yet decided where I am going or if I am going.

"In the next few days I will decide my future."

While Sir Alex Ferguson was a vocal supporter of Nani's talent it is not yet clear whether the 26-year-old has a place in David Moyes plans for next season.

The former Sporting Lisbon star has been recently linked with a move to Italian giants Juventus or emerging French powerhouse Monaco. [Express]

mbulela: can we end this Ronaldo discussion? He is not coming back to United. It will NEVER happen.

So what should be discussed? Speculations are the only news out there. Everyone is monitory where the big guys are possibly heading to. And United is not opening up about their transfer plans.


You may give us a topic.

Football is crazy! Footballers are unduly worshiped! There is unnecessary too much money fr entertainers.

Cristiano Ronaldo is demanding a staggering £32million-a-year deal to stop him from returning to Manchester United.

First up he wants an annual wage of £17m from Madrid, which works out at about £345,000 per week.

But he is also demanding 100 per cent of his image rights contract from the club, which could be worth as much as £15m per year. Even a club as rich as Real Madrid have been shocked by the figures being bandied around by Ronaldo’s representatives.

Ronaldo is aware Barcelona rival Lionel Messi currently gets £14m a year and already has a 100 per cent image rights agreement with his club.

United still refuse to rule out the prospect of tempting Ronaldo back to the Premier League but would have to smash their wage structure to even come close to matching his terms. (Source: The Sun)

Soccer-Ronaldo expects to sign new Real deal

LISBON, June 7 (Reuters) - Real Madrid forward Cristiano Ronaldo is confident he will reach a deal to renew his contract with the La Liga club.
The Portugal captain arrived at Real Madrid from Manchester United in 2009 for a world record fee of more than 90 million euros ($118.98 million) and continued his goalscoring spree in Spain.
However, Real's failure to win major silverware last season and reports of division in the dressing room have prompted speculation Ronaldo, whose contract runs until June 2015, may be seeking a move away from the Spanish capital.
"I am well, calm and not worried about it. I know we will reach a deal," Ronaldo told reporters on Friday.
Club president Florentino Perez has described Ronaldo as "priceless" and said he would stay and help Real win the 10th European crown they have been chasing since their last continental success in 2002.
The 28-year-old helped Portugal beat Russia 1-0 on Friday to revive their 2014 World Cup qualification campaign. Ronaldo declined to comment when questioned about coach Jose Mourinho's remarks that he did not cope well with criticism.

Soure Yahoo Sports.

Nani's form is really poor.

Portugal beat Russia one nil.

Yohan Cabaye has issued a come-and-get me plea to Manchester United and says he would be keen to work under new manager David Moyes.

The unsettled Newcastle midfielder, speaking to Canal+ in his native France, has given an intriguing interview that is likely to unsettle his current club.

Following a disappointing season in which Alan Pardew's side diced with relegation, Cabaye has been tipped to move on to bigger things.

"Yes of course, I've liked this club for a long time, I like what they do, the boss has left but they have appointed a very good successor, and he did some very good things with Everton.

"They are always well placed among the big clubs. Yes for sure it could be an interesting challenge. I have had no direct contact with anyone, maybe my agents are currently in the know,

"As for me, I am here, listening. I like England as well. I will need to look at the situation but you never know." (Source: talksport.co.uk, Canal+)

I am not interested in following any other football thread. If I saw any match thread on front page, good. I have plenty of things to do with time.

Man United thread is far too enough for me on nairaland. Anything about football I cannot say here is not good for in other thread on nairaland.

coogar: i am not even a moderator so stop getting cramps in your belly. i was just telling you how things work here. you post what is appropriate in the right section. did you not the rules or why are you people so intransigent to simple correction?

OK. Nice you told me.

But moderators should be human. There is no rule without an exception.

I noted also that this forum there are plenty of insults without any sanction. I never insulted anyone anywhere until I got here. May be that is another angle everyone of us should also be careful about.



of course, people have lifted a whole bayern article from the internet and posted it here. those people must be ghosts cos i have never seen any of those. where's the common sense in lifting confed cup news concerning nigeria on united thread - biko, where's the correlation?

Have people not discussed Arsenal, Bundesliga and the rest here? Look at the force with which you said it.

Since being on nairaland from 2005 I have never been banned. Perhaps time to experience it courtesy of Coogar.

coogar: you could get banned for posting that super eagles ish here.....we can discuss super eagles here but you cannot put an entire article here concerning super eagles. if i were you, i would remove it before you serve 30 days ban.

If it's a threat then you can go ahead with the ban. Nairaland is just a social forum, it doesn't add a bit to my food.

We are discussing football, and I didn't post anything else. You can be more polite in your approach.

coogar: ^^^
why are you posting confed cup news on man utd thread? don't spam these pages with irrelevant news. take it to the appropriate section.

Ok, noted.

I thought we were Nigerians first. I was only trying to add spies to the monotony of news, it doesn't take away Man United from us. I have come severally to check for good news but it's a certain unknown 20 years old the good news so far.

JayKayMaybachz: He is undergoing medicals

That guy looks small in stature like Raphael. Where is he going to play? May be for the reserve team or loan. ...and Fabio is still on loan. Anyway, welcome to Manchester United. He passed his medical.

We want big news.

Since the leaked pictures and video highlighting features and qualities of the next season jersey turned out true, then this will be most likely the away kit for next season.

dademola: dunno why fergie didnt sign modric. To me, twas like fergie was only looking to sign him at a cut-price. He wasnt too keen and serious with the whole thing. Seems fergie was seeing d midfield palava frm a different perspective

Yes he was looking at it from a different angle. The players available were too expensive to him. Then he thought the young guys could make it. In 2011/2012 early matches, it looked good coupled with Fletcher being available. I think he should have brought in Sneidjer.

bxg: Can u Stop with Ur Rooney wankfest already and stop spamming us

How do you mean? Are there no videos on the thread?

elampiro: 10 year old Rooney scored at Anfield. His trade Mark goal. Incredible!!!

http://www.talksport.co.uk/magazine/virals/2012-01-12/video-10-year-old-wayne-rooney-scores-anfield

He has always been an oppressor of defenders and a bull. Look at the strength and volley from 25 yards. Some top strikers are still dreaming of this kind of goal.

elampiro: Football is about skills, strength and intelligence. Only a few strikers are capable of the speed, strength and composure Rooney exhibited in his goal against Fulhan this year in one nil league win. The match looked headed for a draw.
