quinfayva: Hi all..pls my friend has been offered fed govt scholarship to study law in Russia but she's kinda worried abt schooling in Russia and where to practise since Russia is not a common law jurisdiction and also the language pls any useful info or link wif Nigerians studying law in Russia would be appreciated..tnxx

Study Law in Russia? Really? Where in Russia, Moscow?
If its a Russian taught programme then obviously she has to learn the language. Think 6-9 months.
The Peoples Friendship offer English-taught courses in Law.

So its Chelsea vs RM for pre-season finale. Looking forward to it.

dayokanu: The 2 goal scorers today were in the Bundesliga last season

The goal scorers before yesterday were from the EPL.
So wetin be ya point. Is it a must to type?

El Guapo: Quoted below were my words on Kakuta...
I dont see myself saying he was bad at Dijon but pointed out how pathetic he was at decison-making.
Come to think of it, Dijon was the only ground he tried his very best. I know Ninjas that called the Shot at Vitesse.

Nateevs and I dont usually agree, you know but his response should cement and close any arguments. And as I have said before, watch the boy play first before concluding. The moment you made those comments I knew you NEVER watched him play hence my response to your post. Heck you never even knew he was injured something I even mentioned to you.

nateevs: You think Josh is a far better talent than Kakuta because you've seen him play. Not because of any physical or empirical data or analysis you think you have collated. You saw Josh play.

And Josh wasn't even remotely as influential in the youth team as Kakuta was. I can say that, I watched them play a gazillion times and I ran Youth Football reports on here regularly.

Transferring that talent to the big stage is a big step up and can be influenced by several factors. Josh for instance is breaking through in the era of rebuilding - this new focus of giving youth players play time. The whole club accepts it; especially the senior players. AVB was determined to use basically fringe players for Carling Cup. That's where Josh got many games to prove himself. When Kakuta was stepping up, we had a team with full blown professionals in their late 20s - all in the prime of their career. We were fielding 11 strong players even in the Carling cup.

Kakuta broke his leg and was out for a whole year. In fact, that was he year he was touted to get some playing time in the senior team. This injury remains one of the issues that affected him. There were legal issues surrounding his transfer and could not play for the senior team. In that time the awareness about the lad went through the roof and so did the expectations. Josh wwent through none of this.

No one called Kakuta the perfect talent but he sure was the biggest talent to come out of the academy at that time. How that translates to the big stage has got little to do with inherent talent. The mental attitude to deal with competition, low confidence, changing managers and contrasting ideas, constant deployment to wrong positions, unrealistic expectations are points more pertinent to the big stage transition.

How can you even prove than Josh is a far better talent than Kakuta?

Thanks nateevs.

I think the first 45 was descent. camped in Sao Paolo's half but they could have finished you off with 1 or 2 chances they had. imo they basically came to defend. The keeper and some goal line clearance saved them.
Come, is Robben on drugs or something? this na pre-season na. Tell him to relax oo!

El Guapo: [color=#0066ff]Josh is far a better talent than Kakuta.

The Cruz of the debate is how good is Kakuta and what does he bring to the Chopping table when such opportunity calls? -- Reason I had to cite stats how bad his Loan moves has panned Out.

Despite doing well at Dijon, he was still far from being called a 'Perfect Prospect'.

FBS and co has got a Logic streaming, that Chelsea did the damage, which I think from a Perspective Yes we did, then does that also explain why his Loan moves haven't been Classy?

Many fellas tend to Overrate some Chaps just at seeing some flick moves then later blames the club for an abrupt decline in his career.

Phillipe Coutinho faced limited playing chances at Inter, he was Loaned out to Espanyol and In 16 games he had 5 goals and 5 assists to his name -- Now he's commanding a first team shirt at Liverpool.

I know how good we've been at keeping lads out of the main action but it doesn't necessarily mean all the lads were actually good.[/color]

First you said he did bad at Gijon by relying solely on stats only to turn around and say he didnt. Watch the guy play first before typing in blue.
One word mismanagement. When something or someone is not managed properly ANYTHING will/can go wrong.
I'm not saying Gael is doing all he can,heck he could do better but to say he ain't a talent? my guy fi yen le.

El Guapo: [color=#0066ff]Alright! Kakuta's dismay performances Is down to been played out of position?

I wouldnt want to dig further on tis, Inasmuch as I know of youngsters who are been played out of position yet they're X-factors - Citing Ericksen at Ajax and KDB, damn Bale was once a Leftback

Wallace Is Joining Inter on a season long loan I heard.[/color]

You forgot that those players were basically first team members. A valid point is the mental capacity (copyright nateevs) to deal with such issues.
Yogi Berra even mentioned it - This game (whatever sport it is) is 90% mental. Not all players can handle it.
Damn, no need even going further on this.

nateevs: I have to side with FBS on this. The main back-bone breaker with Kakuta was mis-management of his tactical positioning. If he was given the confidence to play in his favourite position, he could have been much better.

The silly loans didn't help either. A little internet search will reveal what Mark Hughes said with regards to playing Kakuta at Fulham. He basically said something along the lines of not needing to develop other players for other teams (giving Kakuta play-time) at the expense of his. So while it's easier to just conclude that Kakuta couldn't break through at Fulham, it must be stated there are underlying factors being ignored. Stuff like that robs teenagers of their confidence.

And no, Kakuta did not fail at Gijon. Google some stuff and you will see. I ran updates here regularly for a season while Kakuta was at Gijon.

Thanks nateevs. I kept on telling the blue typing ninja to siddon somewhere but no keeps coming back with some silly stats. He claimed to have watched Gael play (and then said he didnt) yet in the same sentence said he aint a talent. I mean like, WTH!!!
Anyways, all ideas and opinions are all valid.

El Guapo: [color=#0066ff]I thought we've moved on from tis?

Does every acquisition made tells of how credible the Scouts were?

I asked u a simple question which u're still hemming and hawing on about -- If Kakuta was superb as u think, why could he have failed at grounds where he went on loan?

If its Limited Chances? Then explain why the WOW talent he's got couldn't aid him break into the first team of the teams he featured for -- Having on mind that Ninjas like Danilo, Rooney, Ronaldo, Giggs, Lamela, Jovetic, KDB, Dudu, Coutinho, Robinho etc once in their tender ages broke into the first team of their new team.[/color]

he was never really played in his favorite position that's why! something you've have frankly never witnessed. so stats cant do justice here.
But well, lets move on cos we can talk about this all day.
case closed.

as for me oo, na Friday Pre-season dey start. That Asia trip na ere omokekere.

El Guapo: [color=#0066ff]Read through the line buddy.

I never watched him play at Lens.

Does that literally mean i've not watched him play ever?

Bolton, Fulham, Dijon and finally Vitesse's Spells were on my watch - He's not a WOW talent!

Tis ur stone age analysis don dey protude big time [/color]

did you watch him at Vitesse? No
At Bolton? No
At Dijon? No
Under 16 to 20? No
At lens? No
So what potato analysis is you doing chairman?
you pulled some funky stats from the net and claiming you know more than JM himself.
my guy, abeg shift and relocate or better still change that bleeping font. Who types in blue?
If he is not a WOW talent why did Chelsea go through all that stress? na wa o.

na wetin dey do A-40 sef? how can you call Benzy a waste? though he sometimes messes up (just like any other player) he still puts in a good shift most time.
if you wan see waste, move to the l'ar.sese thread. lol

as for Bale, even if RM pays 100 milla, na ya money ni? but damn 100 milla? chei see moooooooney!

Mr Aboki: What is the name and club of this goalkeeper?!


https://www.101greatgoals.com/wp-content/gallery/gimages/681990624.gif

Name: Stéphane Ruffier
team/club: AS Saint-Étienne

Lukakuuuuuu! aa close!

off kalas. own goal. damn!

me thinks the match is officially over. now I can go and play my own football jeje. boots mi da?

El Guapo: [color=#0066ff]What If I tell u that've watched him play ever since his deal almost got us Into Probation and what I saw was Just a fellah that've devoted more of his time growing individual skills and failing to mature as a team player!

How do u even Judge a player that is deemed for Stardom? Kakuta is Version 2.0 of Freddy Adu.

And here u are thinking we dealt his career a huge blow.

Abeg face front watch Lukaku enviscerate tis Indonesians! [/color]

We? who are the we? You and who? lol. Besides, you cant say so cos you just mentioned that you've never seen him play prior to his injury or even much later. How then can you analyse him? by stats you pulled from the internet? lol.
omo, siddon and go back doing whatever it is you were doing. no get your time jare.

SWEET AS you like. Blistering counter.

Ramirez scores.

7-0

Emmadani: jeez 6-o?When did they score 5 and u dint update?

Emmadani: hahaha,e dey do like okocha.Anytym i c moses play i just rememba jay jay.Funny guys.Hahaha

okocha? in what way? dribbling or passing range or skills?

usbcable: Boring!!!!
Or
Not active like other threads??*sighs and moves on*


I dont expect you to see as much traffic here as the other threads not after 6 consecutive seasons of round of 16 elimination of years of not winning the liga.

Even during Mourinho's reign here you will be able to count the number of posters that come calling.

But its wrong to assume them as 'fan boys' of 'the happy one.'
FBS for one has always and is still a galactico on a minor scale but a core and true chelsea fan. its just mere coincedence that the special one coached both teams dear to him. another folk i miss his comments is chelsea bmw. pharoh don become internasional business man and hardly has time to comments here any longer

@usbcable, thanks for the kind words jare but honestly, you get time oo!lol. walahi! Personally, I have nothing to prove to anybody here on NL. especially to some cabbage club supporters.
Isn't it funny that some people will act like they had a certain club crest engraved on their forehead even before birth? We all pick/adopts clubs as we grow up. So forget all that BS about people not posting. We post for fun and I see no reason why some people would assume that it is a MUST. HFN!
We don dey watch footie before some people finish primary school sef. no he who is not satisfied should run to the closest transformer and hug it.

JT! scores.
4-0

Even JM dey celebrate.

CFCfan: Lol.. Is he that bad? You know he's a key player for the Super Eagles.

nah he is not bad. really, its just that sometimes he acts very strange. And why does he stop first every time he gets the ball?

El Guapo: [color=#0066ff]4 Assists and a goal In 19 Eredivisie games Is Impressive for an AM? Thats more than a half season bro!

Van Ginkel, Bony, Ibarra, Reis, Havenaar and even Kalas were the marksmen behind Vitesse's last season's impressive run.

Who the Phuck Is Kakuta?

I'd miss Lunch to watch Sergi Roberto.[/color]

my friend, I said go and sit down. Stats are sometimes like mini-skirts. They give good ideas but hide the most important thing.
Watch him play first before you yarn what you dont even know about.
