nateevs:
The thread is infested.

You can say that again...

Maybe if we rename the Internet to brain then people might start using it.

Pathetic 45 mins.
But how come despite defending with 5 men, our boys still allowed 3 goals past the just like that?

Only Traore dey try so far.

Kante can jump.

Kolade354:
Kante and cesc are short palyers,and we need matic aerial presence in the mildfield to contest for long balls,westbrom team manage by tony pulis we give us problem if we meet.
I don't see kante as a defensive mildfielder,I see am him as an upgrade on ramires, a box to to box mildfielder.
We all know cesc can't tackle to save his life,so why not push him forward behind costa.
I think cesc-kante pivot will leave the team expose in mildfield.

I'm not entirely sure you've seen N'Golo play.

Lukaku to Chelsea for 75m?

Rest In Peace

Go Naija!

Thank You Jesus. Thank you my Lord. Your Grace is ALL I need.

diggz:
You no see signings wey dem dey make ni...? Funny enough dem no dey news like the order teams n all DAT....

You mean Stones and Co no dey news?

The only thing I can take from this match? - we are trying to move the ball even faster...

But just what was Fab thinking? It's a red card all the way.

Is there a website for this train service? Can I book a seat online?




Good development but the only fear is the maintenance culture.

Professor554:
Its not really a must that I will do that. I am comfortable even without doing anything

Bro naija for you

As long as you are comfortable. Na the koko be that.

Professor554:
Yeah I know. I intend studying alone not work atleast with the little I have from my livestock farming and that of my parents in naija I can survive just that with time I will love to establish a business there maybe a restaurant or something cool pending on how the place is.... Yed I bought $2660 for 1000160 @ 376 to a dollar. See bro things are hard here in naija.

Restaurant in Russia? Bro, I wish you good luck with that one.

but damn, 1$ = 376 ?? Na real wa.

Nice.

Professor554:
Yes. They won't issue it so I have to pay to get it. I know someone who did it and is in the school now. I think they started doing that to avoid students using them as an option if another doesn't work out. Definitely they know when your money is with them, you will come. Concerning the quality of education,from Internet research and from people sha, I heard the school is okay. It is one of the top ranked university in russia, bricks, euc or so and number 701 in QS world university rankings. But if you can also help me also with some information about the school I would appreciate. The name is Lobachevsky State University of Nizhny novgorod - National Research University

If that is the case then I'm surprised you even raised the question. Whether to pay or not. That one is already decided.

If I'm not mistaken, we've touched on the subject of the school itself and cost of accommodation. So, yes from Internet reviews, it looks a good one.

What to keep in mind generally is that this is not the West. Studying and working at the same time is a different story entirely.

PS; You mean you bought $2660 for 1m??

Professor554:
The payment is mandatory. Why russia? I am not really that interested in russia but my dad said I must go there, that his friends there told him all is fine only if I begin to follow bad company over doing things there and that dollar is expensive now, he can't afford us uk or canada, today I bought just 2660 for 1m 160naira at bureau de change. Imagine and we are two going to the university abroad in my house now

Sure Economics and finances plays a big part in our decision making.. But remember cheap does not mean good and expensive by no means equates to better. The task is to find value for our money.

If the payment is mandatory then obviously you have no other option else the invitation won't be issued, right?

Professor554:
No. But whatever I pay as advance, if I send them the telex copy, they will begin preparation for my invitation and visa support letter, but if I did not get visa, they shall refund my money but 80% of the money as the 20% goes as part of charges they spent while preparing my invitation and sending it. But the payment must not be less than $1500 abi it is $2000 I think

If the contract does not say a part payment is mandatory, then why bother? If on the other hand you feel like it..as in locking down your application so to say, then fine. ...
What I always people ask though is this, why Russia?

Professor554:
Yes. I am directly dealing with school. We even signed a contract

Does the contract say you have to make full payment?

Professor554:
Bros is it safe to pay tuition to school before issuance of invitation?

Safe as in will they chop your money?
Are you dealing with the school directly? In any case why not get the invitation first? The most the school can request of you is to make some part payment.

hensben:
Kante to wear number 7. I think seven is not an ideal number for short player. Why not give him number 14.

Any short player than can do this deserves just about any number he wants.

King of all Kings, Your NAME is Great.

Nihilstjnr:
My point will be lost if you exaggerate my statements like that.

Thats one thing I don't do. Exaggerate. Not on this board anyway.

Nihilstjnr:
Dele Alli is a member of the PFA team of the year. His contemporaries in that August collection are being priced at 20m minimum. Kante just signed for 30. Mahrez is reportefly being priced at 45m. Kane at 50m
It is patently silly for someone to say that Colkett and Lewis Cook are better than Alli. Statements like that irritate me to my marrow.

Not saying it aint so but what makes him even better? That he was a member of the PFA? That's all? Se you know Betrand was also in the PFA of the year (2015). So kini big deal?

Nihilstjnr:
It's interesting that you point out how Lukaku and KDB are not from our setups. Does it matter? Are they not youth? Bamford is a Forest grad and Christensen came from Brondby.

It does. That actually is the crux of this 3 page wetin I go call am sef "punditry"?

Nihilstjnr:
I don't get your point with Josh Mceachran - Are we going to go through every single member of the academy until we find that 'aha!' moment?

Part wo? Where Enamelo categorically stated that the boy was a wonderful wonderful talent, admitting that the club made a mistake or?

Nihilstjnr:
The best you can describe Josh as for us was probably 'OK'. He got sent out on a couple of loans, did ok in some, not great in others...now in the championship. Perhaps could have been handled better. So what? I don't think that we missed his talent anyway...

One thing I can't stand is when people analyse players by reading newspapers. rara. mi o like e at all.

Nihilstjnr:
Egbon FBS,

I will continue to say that I am not against youth. Nihilist is best described as pro-TheRightYouth.

I will not deny that mistakes have been made - I certainly don't look back at Lukaku's departure with fondness. KDB didn't exactly look great when we had him, but looking at what he has gone on to achieve, then there is an argument that we could have done better.

But NOT all the youth we have can claim to be mistreated. Bamford is just useless. He went to not one but TWO EPL teams that were desperate for strikers. Palace were playing wingers upfront and in January this year, went to sign Adebayor who last played a competitive match in November 2014.

At Norwich, he only had to compete with 3 strikers that had 10 league goals between them all season. Cameron Jerome had only 3 goals last season. Mbokani had 7. Lewis Grabban had 0. That was supposed to be a through pass for his career, but the boy still couldn't take his chances.

Ditto Chalobah.

I think that esteemed members of the thread like bihkesh, yourself and nateevs are guilty of lumping all these young players together under the catchall of 'youth'

It is important that we separate the chaff from the wheat first, then we can start a proper disvussion about the way forward with youth.

Saying things like Charlie Colkett( who has not played a single minute of professional football in his life) is better than Dele Alli (Multiple PFA nominations) just makes a mockery of the discussion.

Why even stop at Alli, why not say Colkett is better than Martial and Coman? Sod it, let's go for the nuclear option and call it - Colkett is better than CR7 and Messi.

Chairman sir, why did you omit the statement about Josh? Do you even know him? You see am play before?

Alright...I get the point. Alli is now the best things since jollof rice. Izzokay.... More importantly though, how do you separate the igi efo from the efo itself? I want you to answer.. please.

Plus, erm, both Lukaku and KDB ain't from our youth setup. Different scenarios.

@bigkesh, FFS! na wetin dey do you naw? haba! we go call elders meeting for you o. uhhaaa. ki lo de?
Actually Spy360 (no idea who he is) does have a point but I really dont wanna go into that.


@Nihilist. The Spambots of NL are definitely pro youth.
re: RLC
a) So you think I based my evalution of the player on one single match against a team with no stadium? Like seriously?
b) he is lazy, does not want to get into a tackle and bla bla bla....but can he be a better player? I think the answer is YES.
c) There is nothing Alli is playing that we don't have in our youth squad. That he is playing for England dont mean shait. abi no be the same National team Wheelbarrow they play for? Now, imagine he was forcefully converted to a winger or defender or any other position aside his preferred zone? na different hymn una go all dey sing now.

@nateevs, no be only Chalobah sef...ask Mr. Nihilist about Josh.
This is what Emenalo said - "Josh McEachran was a wonderful, wonderful talent and we could have had a different programme. "But we have learned from that.

Chelsea, aint no selling club (abi we be Porto?), so its in our very own interest to make our youth players better. We gast to nurture them and play them where we can get the VERY BEST out of them.

Nihilist:
I'm sure what you believe you've written a very witty response.

All I am saying is that is one thing to shine in youth sides and against div 4 austrian teams with no stadium.

It's another thing to shine at EPL level. And if you use that nairaland search bar at the top of you screen to search for 'RLC', you will see what we all thought when he played at the business end.

You came here to crow in vindication that RLC shined against some wack austrian side. Allow me to remind you that Mikel Obi scored against them.

I assume that the 'we' na you and Baba Suwe?

Anyways as I said earlier, you are not Conte and never will be. EOD.

This country sha.

Nihilist:
Here we go again.

I wish we had a eye rolling emoji on this board.

Internet is your friend. You can find one.

Na you talk am say Chelsea backroom staff must know the supertalents in the squad, abi beko?

Now RLC is in the first team and Conte says he sees him as a striker or as a support striker. Do you mean to say you know more than the backroom staff and Conte combined together ni?

How do you judge a player from the Youth setup? By asking Mr Nihilist or Baba Suwe?

PS; I still dey wait for the posts wey you say you wan bring out oo.

Castro. Wicked.

Meanwhile...Castro dey pepe Manure. What a strike.

Nihilist:
I watched him in the league...not against an austrian team with no stadium.

Would you like me to bring out comments on this thread from some of those days?

How many times? 3/5 times?

Oh Please do. I thought he was one slow and lazy ee.diot especially as a DM and I remember clearly saying "To whom much is given...."

Thereafter I watched his matches with the Youth Team and I tell you he seems a completely different player.

Anything else?
