Chelseafan1:
The earlier this team realise say dem don turn average, the better for them.

I don't see them winning the league next season lailai.

Wait, you see your team winning the league?

olabode89:
Lol, dem nearly lynch me when I said it here some weeks ago.

They should pay him off and get a proper gaffer, any small question the idiot must respond with something relating to Fergie or some useless DNA.

The next so called proper manager won't last too. Which of LVG and Mourinho was not a proper gaffer?

When you answer this then you know where the problem is

Nah Ole won't last december

tesppidd:
Fine, all that you have said.

No contest.


My problem really is with the clause;
"When it matters most"

1.Did it not matter "most" at the point he scored against Lyon?
2.Did it not matter "most" at the point he scored against Manchester United?

If Manchester United had eliminated us and Messi failed to score, people would still say that he failed when it mattered most.

My point?

There is no such thing as when it matters most.

Every game and miniute matters most until you win the cup.
No time or game matters most, more than another.

Raumdeuter can never and will never accept this.

codedguy1:
Its a shame. It seemed/seems we have been desperate thats why they just agree to everything a player wants.

How can Shaw and Martial have such a quantum leap in Wages because they want to play for united?

Theclub does not even leverage on its history, status and pedigree when negotiating.

As a Naija guy, i suspect Ed Woodward dey collect kickback from these players abeg

That's the only explanation

larride:
I heard the board offered him 150k/175k but his agent was adamant on 200k. I think the board offered him a fair deal to be honest.

We move.

Exactly! I believe the board is trying to correct some of the mistakes of the past. I support this fully abeg

olu98:
bro i dont blame herrera at all. He is very passionate and committed to united. Ashley young is 33 will turn 34 dis year, he earns 120k per week, while herrera doesnt earn up to that. I just read it today that united pay sanchez and pogba 75k per goal and 25k per assist.idiot rashford sef wan dey collect 250k.And you said he cant demand 200k? Ed woodward is a goat aswear.

If Herrera had demanded for 120k, I believe he would have been giving.

On one hand we want the board to put a stop to this nonsense, on the other hand we want them to continue. What do you guys want? Mistakes on issuing of contract has been made in the past, don't you want an end to this?

codedguy1:
Exactly. Na for this board i hear say Herrera wanted 200k from 75k wey him dey earn. Which Kain increment be that, even NLC no go fit calculate the %leap based on minimum wage.

If this demand was true, then he had to go abeg.

But Ed needs to still borrow sense concerning some of these old lazy players, especially the English ones.

I don't get how anybody anywhere will encourage that kind of deal. It doesn't make sense at all. If they give him that deal, everyone will ask for increase too

patrickmuf:
At this point, we have to try and get Rabiot on a free if not then a huge chunk of our budget will give way for Herrera's replacement. I don't trust Fred and Pereira to do the job at this point.

I hope so too though I don't see Rabiot staying beyond 2-3 years

Khaytunechi:
How come we're keeping Smalling, Matic, Young, Jones and we let Herrera leave?? Is it that these ones have been posting performances better than his all season??

None of these guys have been offered new contracts by OGS and his guys have they?

One thing is sure, that is one senior position to be filled

JayKayMaybachz:
Well he played well under LvG.. Playing the 9 position..

No come break bottle for my head.. Na just opinion

I just wan know if he sulks because of that.

elampiro:
At some point, Van Gaal relied on young players or amateur players and our football was horrible to watch.

What's the point?

JayKayMaybachz:
Yes.. Let us allow him play in his natural position.. Atleast he has a better ball control than Lukaku

So he has been playing rubbish because he's not played in his natural position? He doesn't run after balls or want to get involved because he's not played in his natural position?

SkimpleD:
Maduman, Hazard has had 8 years in the Champions league?

OK how many years is it na?

EvilMetahuman:
Iropa people.

Fuul

Olalekank:
Some people sha on this thread

Can you explain the logic of how Hazard has played 8 champions league. You guys are just throwing stats here because you are not willing to accept that a player is good - and is being sought for heavily at real madrid

I'd unfollow this thread once you can explain it

OK how many years is it?

Madrid like every other club do make some stupid transfers. Just look at your club, assnal, united, barca and even that Madrid. Some of the transfers have been shocking

JayKayMaybachz:
I will love us to sell Lukaka.. Then return Martial to the No. 9 position.. Him and Rashford to fight for a starting berth.. Then we get a good RW. Ndidi for the DM role, and also Rabiot the free agent since Herrera is going.. Then a RB and a CB.

Greenwood -

Chong -

Gomes -

Garner -

TFM and Tuanzebe should return

Mata, valencia, young, rojo, lingard, Sanchez, and Jones should go

Bro have you been watching Martial at all?

hensben:
Hazard is a full time pro, as you can see the player you used in comparing him. A promising player that had won POTY award and other individual awards you term a promising player? Knock yourself. A player that won three awards last night you term a promising player.

What do you want me to term a player that has scored just 4 goals from open play in 8 years in the champions league, a prestigious competition?

afrodoc2:
Very sweet

popizaino:
E no sweet jor

I don't expect any chelshit fan to consider this sweet na. You should be questioning the ability of the fraud

popizaino:
*20-year-old defender Trent Alexander-Arnold has now got more Premier League assists this season (11) than messi Jesse Lingard has in his entire career (10).*

28 years old attacker Hazard, has same talent as Messi, still a promising player at 28 years old, in the form of his life, has a miserly 4 champions league goals from open play in his entire career

afrodoc2:
I was talking more in terms of playing in his orthodox position (left side). Man City still do it whenever Sane plays on the left or Sterling plays on the right.
Di Maria still does a lot of damage whenever he plays on the left, and Real play Asensio and Vazquez on their orthodox sides not as inverted wingers.

These guys do cut in a lot na. Anyways let's hope we get this right this time

The club needs to shoot down these ridiculous wage demand. If they'll only stay because of increase in wages, they're free to leave please. How many players of their level are earning more than them in Europe? I don't care who the guy thinks he is

afrodoc2:
Bale going to Madrid stunted his growth as a footballer, though luckily he won lots of titles there.
Bale was a left winger with speed, crossing and shooting, but at Madrid he played as an invented right winger despite lacking the technique, trickery and dribbling needed for the role.

I can't find a top club that plays with singers that can't cut in, and will prefer to run down the side and cross. Football don't happen that way anymore.

afrodoc2:
From the videos i watched he seems to lack that awareness of team mates and vision that separates the average from the good.

Hmmm
I hope that's not the case o. His speed will stop working for him with time, but his sense to pick out teammates on the field is what can keep him relevant. Like how Giggs reinvented himself or play on the shoulder of the last defender like how Ronaldo plays most of the time now. Bale can't reinvent himself and he's now useless. Nobody wants him

Guys how una see this Daniel James guy? He's fast and moves the ball, but what I couldn't see in the video is how he plays with his teammates. I hope he is not the type that will want to take on defenders when there's a team mate well positioned and available for a simple pass

ChristoBam:
Chaii most of you just don't get it and it'll be a long time before you get it.
I say this again for the umpteenth time, when Ole came in his tactics hasn't come into play then. A few days after he was hired we scored like 5 or 6 goals In a single match and were pressing as hell. There was no way his tactics was the one at work then.. Mind you, Ole said this himself.
The funniest thing is you listed high pressing and winning the ball as Ole tactics. Except from those initial winning run, when have you seen that tactics in play. I said something after a match like 3 months ago, you can check my chat history. I saw the guys drawing back immediately the opponents are with the ball. From the front line to the midfielder, no one was really pressing or tackling high up in the pitch and it continued over and over again in every single match I watched since then.
I never even heard Ole complain about how the players weren't pressing like he wanted them to do or anything like that, makes me wonder why you guys believe that is truly his tatics..

No sir, you don't get it and you can never get it. It's either you haven't been listening to him talk or you don't understand the way he talks.

Maybe you are expecting him to curse his players in the press, just like how Poch was cursing his players when they lost 7 out of 10 matches, moving from title race fight to gasping for 4th position. He has the useless United and Assanal to thank, if not nobody will be disturbing our ears here

nitrogen:
But they did it against PSG Na? Nawa for you o.

You need to understand that there is always a limit to what the players can do. You need the manager to make them believe they can continue to do it, you need to teach them how to do somethings, that's what a manager does. Trust me, they will know when and how to fight for a win when push comes to shove. And I don't think Ole is doing it.

That has been my message all along!

Would the senior players have been able to grind out that win against PSG the way the fringe players did?

nitrogen:
Nobody is saying rubbish, except you are referring to yourself. I am not saying we should get Poch, just pointing out deficiencies in your post.

When OGS came, we saw how he wanted his team to play. Make little touches on the ball and move with speed. We saw how he wanted them to defend from high up the pitch. We saw how the team adjusted to winning back the ball quickly instead of withdrawing back like they had previously done. But no, that's not tactics according to our resident football analyst. OGS does not have tactics you guys have been shouting here since, mentioning Poch.

I just showed you how the team played without tactics, but with fight, determination, strength and belief. Instead of you to look at what I am saying critically and honestly ask yourself if this team can do what the Tottenham players did on Wednesday, you're saying another thing

kokaneprodigy:
Lies!!!!
It does at least “moneywise” (Europe money, EPL money by position, more games more ticket sales), popularity boost, street cred etc

Buahahaha Moneywise FC

See as I rush google to search for David James

Lana1:
Imagine waking up tomorrow to news that we've signed Ndidi. But my club could never.

God!

Instead Matic is given a new contract and Herrera is let go. Fvck me
