Welbeck scores with a shot from outside the box.

Herrera. Now I realize we have not had a midfielder since Scholes.

I will take Carvalho over Fellaini in any team, and particularly in Man United. From the world cup matches, one could see what game or pattern Carvalho brings to a team. A team can be built around his kind of game. But Fellaini, he doesn't dictate a game, he only tries to flow in direction with which a game flows.

Looking at Man United, a DM is the vacuum that has to be filled mostly. Carvalho is a good DM. The only worry is his pace.

Dadehmola: Less than 2.5m



How much should we have sold him?

I don't know. But it's ridiculous.

So how much was Evra sold?

We don't appear to negotiate well or know when to make money from our players.

SailorXY: I suspect we are playing today by 5pm?

I guess 4am

coogar: why should you take it serious initially? puff daddy can be 15 or 350, it's a different scenario altogether to samuel etoo or brown ideye lying about their age.

professional football isn't music industry. age is very very important.

May be daily mail shouldn't have published that article. When I was reading it, the flow made it look like those stars had committed something serious similar to when a footballer cheats. Then Minaj own was revealed by Police only after she engaged in a fight. Then that model. When I saw she cut 6 years from her age......... Dat na Ukwu to me o. It's a shame such things are allowed to happen. I am disappointed. Any way, na their headache.

dayokanu: You can call yourself any age in unofficial setting, but its easy to verify if you are in an industry that requires verification.

The moment a child is born, they take his footprint and issue a birth certificate. The birth certificate would be used in the future to issue a ID

there are records they keep that was why they were able to verify that Obama was born in hawaii.

Unlike in places where I can just come out one day and claim any age without any backup to verify from

Lol. You quickly pulled out Robben's own.

Me I get too o. I have a birth cert, and I have never lied about my age. But it is surprising to see small boys and gilrs carrying age declaration about.

afrodoc: Elampiro nikki minaj was born in trinidad not the united states. This would have made it possible for her to lie about her age in legal documents.

Coogar was right about her.

But my major concern is, it shouldn't even be like that. When I check Puff Daddy's age n wikipedia, I might not take it seriously any more.

coogar: you are a pathological liar.....
when did police ever bust nicky minaj for falsifying her age. which spambot will ban you for putting a url link on NL? you think you are in edo state where you can just open your mouth without control?
.

You take life too seriously here. I asked an innocent question, even in my post spamboat hit. If you spamboat had not hid my post, you would understand the angle I am coming from. Daily mail wrote an article and tied a lot of people with Samuel Eto. So it appeared they were in same boat of 'offense'. Assuming Eto actually cheated.

coogar: why would they cover it?
it seems you dunno how things work here. everything has a record. people of the same age are grouped together. there are records of documents & videos of birthdays..

This is how you should have answered me the first time. I thought everything is being held in a central electronic data with such info as finger prints, names, etc etc etc for easy access by many parties. I was surprised someone could reduce her age by 6 years to make a career in one of the highest paying industries in the universe.

coogar: there's no way any european footballer will lie about his age & not get caught. this is not a 3rd world country where people just appear from nowhere with a dodgy passport to claim 17 like osundo. they all start from a junior academy & progress into a youth academy of big clubs. there's a record from the outset.

But I read that that model, even when her class mates were writing, no body listened, to the extent they formed a group to fight her fake age, yet she got away with it for years upon years. What you wrote up here is what I have always known and believed, but now....... It calls for more investigation from me. But are we also saying that those Ivorians, Senegalese, Camerounians, Argentines who have never been caught are perfect? May be those who have never been caught are the professional 'thieves'.

coogar: you are just embarrassing yourself....
it's not an issue to claim you are anyone you want to claim. it becomes a crime when you have a valid document saying you are what you aren't.


if i tell a police officer i am age 2, i have not committed a crime. however, if my passport or driving license says i am 23 when my real age is 24 then i have committed an offence. nicole put a fake age on her website.....she didn't lie about it on her passport or a valid document.


you are comparing apples & oranges.

I understand all of these. But I believe it is suppose to be an offense, mostly for that model.

Secondly, how come it takes time before the truth comes to the public? I am disappointed that such things could happen in such countries. Even a lunatic should be allowed to lie about his/her age in the papers and get away with it. So, no I can begin to doubt if Michael Jackson was actually 50....

coogar: show us the evidence where police busted nicole sherzinger for lying about her age.



come over from edo then & lie about your age in the premier league with a passport to back it up.

You want the mode to ban me. Police bursted Nicky Minaj, and not Nicole. I can't give you the link. Spamboat things.

But, if there is a cheating, the western world will cover it better. Perhaps reason why they don't get caught. How many players from Ivory Coast, Ghana, Senegal, South Africaand other African countries have been caught? How many Argetines, Colombians? Or don't they cheat?

coogar: there's nothing wrong with the system. her real age is on her passport all this while. the one she gave was in their interviews with different magazines or journalists. they never had to show proof to give their age.....




why not find one single example in the football world? why not compare like for like? show us an example of any age cheat in the western world where birth certificate is a requirement.

modelling & professional football are worlds apart.

simple!

You made a good point. But if it's not an issue, why did daily mail make it one? Secondly, why should such a thing be allowed? This is because this age is in their online data like wikepedia. That should be a civil offense. I will investigate more on this.

coogar: no one unraveled anything - they confessed themselves. they didn't fail age test, they never falsified documents to claim any useless age and there was never a time they represented club or country for any age grade competition. that you are even comparing this to football is highly laughable.

Nicky was busted by the Police. She didn't confess.

The most important thing here is, if it's possible with one person, its possible with all.

coogar: go to the music industry & complain in america. i wonder who nicole is cheating if she's 55 & she claims to be 15.

singing is for everyone - there's no age grade american music industry do not grade age. football is different. all professional footballers are required to prove their age to help with their "physical" development.

What about the model who said she did it to get her career though? She wouldn't have been signed up if she didn't reduce her age by 6 years.

However, my eye opener here is that age cheat is possible in Western world. Too bad! I can guess Terri is 40. Robben

leggo: I saw eminem in elamps baba's writeup and fell off my unicorn

Why should a prominent person cheat about his age and get away with it even for 6 months in a country like America? In this century? This is my question. It means something is wrong with the system.

If prominent celebrity can cut off 6 years from her CV and got away with it for years, even decades, then that system is as good as dead.

It took years to even unravel Niki's own and Beyonce's is still being questioned.

coogar: illiteracy is a disease sha!

may thunder punish oshiomole & igbinedion for the mediocre education they have provided in edo state.

so celebrities who can claim anything without a legal requirement to show evidence are now being compared to professional footballers who must show evidence of birth certificate?

i give up!!!!

Why shouldn't there be a legal requirement? Is it not a profession?

^^^

I just checked, Agyness Deyn, is an English model. She confessed to have reduced her age by 6 years. If she were a footballer, she wouldn't ever say. How come she wasn't ever bursted?

Mod, pls no ban. This is a related topic.

SailorXY: hmmm interesting topic
hope Rooney didn't falsify his age

Hahahahahahahaha.

It was an article where Samuel Eto ex lover who had a child for him stated that Eto was 39 February last year based on info she got from Eto's childhood friend. The article went further to mention names of star (not footballers) who revealed they reduced their age: Eminem, Nicole Sherzinger, Nelly, Gerry Halliwell, and any more. Also a model, Agyness Deyn, agreed she lied to get through the modelling world. Police bursted Niki Minaj in 2011 that she reduced her age by 2 yrs, according to the report by dailymail.

Now, my question is, if it's so easy to falsify age in American, then why did we previously think this is restricted to 3rd world countries alone? I know too there has been controversy over Beyonce's age. Someone like John Terry and Robben, I don't know.... As for Rooney, he's clean. He's been under the microscope since age 6. .

Those Sweden U-17 guys who played against Iheanacho and co, mehn, they were looking 25 to 30.

Hope I won't get banned for this?

Moderator, pls why am I always getting spamboat, only on this section?

I made a football related post to find out people's opinion on the topic. The next thing ban. The article is about age cheat and I thought it impossible for 'first world' countries citizens (by birth) to falsify their ages, but it is clear that they can, and it's been done.

Lekkie073, behold Gerald two Premier League seasons so far. How market?



My 'enemies' on this thread grow every day. Someone will soon send antispamboat after me. It's happens when my arguments don't favour them, then they take side. Make una eat the thread.

I want to believe BST is same time with Nigeria.

chrisley024: Highest goal scorers in this WC were not CF so spare us those position sh!.t.

Highest earners should lead the goal scoring chart like CR7 n Messi

You have clearly deviated from the topic. And if we should tow this line, it will be endless.

* So why did the highest earners not end up as top scorers in the world cup? Ronaldo and Messi

* I though a certain Ibrahimvic was a 'highest earner'? Why did he not make the world cup?

* The argument was not about wages and goals. I guess you know this.


* I was surprised that some of you swallowed that guys statement like it was eba, even though it was highly screwed, incorrect and biased on arrival. You guys buy into any thing negative as far as it has to do with Rooney. It goes to show how much you guys are biased towards him.

It's a pity.

lekkie073: Dats a hybrid formation....conventional football understands backline , midfielders and forwards....4-2-3-1 is a derivation from 4-5-1 or 4-2-4. Stop mumu-ing yaself joor

This guy is insulting and the mod is quiet,but when I respond now they would want to ban me.

*** lekkie073, I leave your post to disgrace you.

4-2-3-1 was introduced mostly to help cope with the new offside rules. With the new offside rules in the mid 90s or so, the defenders tend to seat deeper thereby creating a huge gap in the midfield. Some managers created four tier formations and the 4-2-3-1 appeared to be most effective after years of study. Among many things, instead of having two up front strikers, one striker was required to seat upfront while a playmaker was required to play a far more withdrawn role bridging the gap between the two traditional CM and the forwards- (lonestriker, and two wingers)

With the new offside rule, the role of the traditional 'libero' was eliminated.

2012/2013 season.
* Giroud..... Minutes played 2323, goals 11, assists 3, minutes per goal 211

* Rooney... Minutes played 2020, goals 12, assists 10, minutes per goal 202



2013/2014
*Giroud..... Minutes played 3081, goals 16, assists 8, goals per minutes played 192.5

* Rooney... Minutes played 2448, goals 17, assists 10, goals per minutes played 144

lekkie073: Rooney is a supporting striker. In an average united 4-4-2 formation Rooney pairs with the striker. All these Ur saying Rooney plays the 10 position is rub..sh. Any time anyone in football world wants to discus Rooney, its from the perspective of him being a forward. QED!

Man United played 4-2-3-1 in 2012/13 and 2013/14

Are you sure you are a football fan?

lekkie073: Elamps....Ur blood too dey rush. I never post my comment u don begin insult me. Thank God....the mod pass u

What were you even saying? Rooney has more goals in each season even though he had far less playing time. He also got more assists.

* I dint insult you. Dunno why the mod banned me.

When I was in primary 4 or 5, I witnessed a robber executed at stake just as this. Our headmaster asked all pupils to go the town public field. Since we got there early, I stood close before the crowd became heavy. Don't dare soldiers, the tying to the stake alone was enough to kill a human being. ........ It was a real scene....

coogar: i love urban legends - oyenusi was a legend. each time i have culled an elder to tell me about him, they all had spine-chilling things to say about him as the most notorious armed robber in the history of nigeria.

The Top 5
• dr. oyenusi
• lawrence anini
• derico
• shina rambo
• kayode williams.

nollywood producers should gather intelligence & do movies on the stories of these urban legends & share the proceeds with their known victims. that's how it's done in the developed world.

Coogar, please explain the legend aspect. In Nigeria there is nothing legendary in robbery, it is a total thing of shame.

dademola: bwahahahaha!!

I am really angry. Very angry.

I saw the post, then they deleted it and ban me till tomorrow. Did I use abusive words? Have I not been playful since? This was intentional. Deliberately done.

I don log out jor.

After using energy and time to type a long post, dem use antispamboat suspend me till tomorrow night.

Chamotex, which rule did I break that you sent antispambot to ban me for 24 hours?

You take sides in argument, just because I told Coogar I have never for once argued about Morrison, you deleted my post.

I am tired of this your biased thread sef.


Bye
