Chelsea close to £100m deal to sign Aguero

Intermediaries have put together a £100 million "package" deal to take Argentine international superkid Sergio Agüero to Chelsea in the January transfer window.

Sergio Aguero rose to the occasion in scoring a brace against Chelsea in a recent Champions League encounter
The £100 million includes the player's salary which will be scaled up to reach nearly £250,000-a-week in the final years of the proposed Chelsea playing contract, the £40 million transfer plus near-£10m add-ons related to Chelsea's success, meaning a near £50 million transfer fee, with added agents' fees.

The 21-year-old Atlético Madrid striker Sergio Leonel Agüero del Castillo, has privately indicated "yes" to a move that will make him one of the highest paid players in the world, with a transfer fee that will smash the British record of £32.5m for Robinho by some distance.

They must be joking!

debosky:
Still don't get your animosity towards the Russian. . .did he steal your babe or something? 

In that case, he will score the winning goal on Sunday to rub it in properly! 

Animo-what? 
How many times have I declared to you that the guy is a TOP CLASS player? Yes,many many times. 
So what are you saying? 

Oh, I see, you want him to score against us but it wrong for me to say he will score own goals against you? 
Yes, he will score the "winning" goal against you- i.e an own goal.

scantee:
kai chiski must lose the game in jesus name gunners say Amen.
Gunners all the way.

I still remain Barca Boy.

Back to sender!

honeric01:
For friendly game?

Yep!

Thanks but no indication of STAR players. That's what I'm looking for.

If we beat Spain, then the WC is ours!

I just don't understand why it is so hard to find information about our local clubs? aaaaaaaaarrrrrgggggh!

Dis Guy:
the Clubs are exhibiting the same traits as the state and federal govt when it come to revenue and development
They are basically relying solely on the money distributed by the NFF/NPL and their state government
They accuse nigerians of going gong-ho over foreign clubs yet do absolutely nothing to promote their clubs and players

Most of the players in the just concluded U20 and U17 play for local clubs yet none of them could 'sell' their players or even associate themselves with the on-going tournament, not a single interview about the players with coaches of club chairperson. the players are not even trained to face the media

and still in 2009 no single functioning website for the NFF/NPL and clubs the npl budget millions for I.T though
the clubs cant even be shown on TV being involved with some local charity or NGO, Xmas dinner with fans etc just to promote themselves

Na that one dey pain me pass. It's just crazy!

At least some of the clubs have websites now but they are generally NEVER updated.

This spat between NFF and Glo about sponsorship. Have they resolved it?

I no fit find oooh!

Paddy_lo is doing a very GOOD JOB!

honeric01:
I was there but i can't remember the scoreline, i am serious. the super 4 was between Enyimba, Rangers, Gombe and Wikki tourist

I'm searching. . .

Certainly the future is bright. A lot of work is required but well, we will get there.

I'm trying to search for the star players from both teams (Kwara United & Lobi Stars)

eyoniggar:
Bro they served me a permanent BAN on eyonigger, so I decided to finally emulate the original today with eyoniggar. I still miss my eyonigger though.

@ Debate, having Rubin beat us @ home dnt mean they made us look like shyt bro, you could have just re-phrased by saying, they surprised us cos nobody ever thought we were gonna lose to them @ home for that matter. Had it been they outplayed us, and won the game with 2 or more goals to NILL, then your "saying" they made us look like shyt cud be counted VALID.

hahaha! You see, I was only trying to RUB-it-IN.  . The loss I mean. 
But again, you couldn't beat them twice. That is very very baaaaaad! So you see, they made you look like ShiT! 

allboyz:
why is here so silent? oh the tension of facing L'arse? make una come ou na. . .we go do am small small

AA23 won't score 4 goals like he did against l'pool - but 2 goals from him won't hurt ryt?

Let go there!!!!!!!

Gooners 1800

You don come again ooo!
I laugh in Kuli-Kuli!
Are you talking own goals?

honeric01:
Gombe united is not a small club, they were in the champion's league like 1-2 seasons ago, so why are you surprised? i think they even won Enyimba, i was there live at the match

If you were there then you should remember nah!
Gombe is a big club? Seriously?
Wait, make I google. . .I dey come!

iceland:
Which of these wont fade away after sometime?be with the one you Love.Simple!

True that! and to add to it - Respect!

^^^ You don't mean it.
But "almost" . . .they still lost sha!

honeric01:
Akwa united is from calabar though they are in div 1 now.
Abuja stadium is not for any league club.
Lagos is yet to have a team in the NPL, still in div 3
Bauchi's got a club, i am trying to remember the club's name. oh, i remember now, Wikki tourist is from Bauchi so
what else bro?

I think most people don't know much about our league (including myself  ) and like the previous poster already pointed out that the media ain't helping matters.
But hey, we can make a difference here on NL! 

If Enyimba remains what I know them to be, then they will easily crush Gombe. Who born them?

honeric01:
Lobi star is sure winning this one, i don't care if Kwara is playing at home or not.

How easy is it for Away teams to win? I heard its close to impossible!  

Top matches this weekend:
Kwara United vs Lobi Stars - https://www.nairaland.com/nigeria/topic-358237.0.html
Gombe United vs Enyinmba Int'l - https://www.nairaland.com/nigeria/topic-358224.0.html

https://i46.tinypic.com/30j0it5.jpg vs https://i49.tinypic.com/2w5u3yo.png
Kwara United welcome Lobi Stars to the Ilorin Township stadium in this weekend's  Globacom NPL fixture and normally you will expect FIREWORKS!
Both teams have started brightly this season with Kwara United (4th place) just right above Lobi Stars (5th) on goals scored. Both teams are on 12 points from 7 matches.

https://i46.tinypic.com/2r2xag2.jpg

There is no clear favourite in this fixture but Kwara United will most likely put into use -The Home advantage!

Can Lobi stars put behind them their off the pitch troubles and focus on this match? Can they go all the way and claim the ALL important 3 points?
The battle for the top spot has begun! DON'T MISS IT.

PS: Abeg, if you are in Naija make sure you not only watch the match but also log on to NL and posts your comments, pictures, videos about the match.
Your input is more than valuable. Let's make our league the talk of the town on NL even if the media and NFF are not doing their job as expected.
We can make it more interesting.
If you are outside Naija, you may be lucky to catch it here: www.watchnta.com
Thanks.

Avram Grant played MU in his first match in charge at Chelsea. . .

Oh YES! He Loves me.

daralex007:

I understand your point but don't worry. We will get there.

30 Eagles To Regroup In Abuja December 27. Team To Jet Out To Training Camp December 30

Super Eagles players are expected to converge on Abuja to commence camping for the 2010 Orange African Nations Cup finals in Angola from December 27 through 29 and fly to South Africa on the 30th.

Complete Sports can report that 30 players will be invited for the trip to South Africa and subsequent camping in the Rainbow Nation.
The Eagles were last Friday grouped alongside current African champions Egypt, Mozambique and Benin Republic in Group C of the Nations Cup.

Head coach, Shuaibu Amodu had disclosed immediately after the Nations Cup draw that his team will camp in South Africa for both the Nations Cup and World Cup finals.
Coach Shuaibu Amodu drew a 50-man list to prosecute his Nations Cup and World Cup qualifiers and the 30-man squad billed to report to camp will be from the list.
Amodu used 32 players during the first and last phase of qualifiers to the 2010 Nations/World Cup finals.

Afribank Line Up Brazil, Spain Friendlies For Eagles
The Super Eagles will not be lacking in top-grade international friendly games in the build-up to the World Cup next year if the sponsorship proposal of Afribank Plc is approved as the bank is prepared to bring countries like Brazil, Argentina and a host of other top football-playing nations to Nigeria.

Revealing this was the Nigerian Football Federation’s H.O.D Marketing, Idris Adama who was upbeat that for once, Nigerians who have for long been clamouring for quality friendlies for the Eagles would finally get their wish.

“The bank (Afribank) is preparing a proposal to sponsor friendly games for the Eagles as their own support for Nigerian Football. They plan to bring Brazil, Argentina and other top teams and the good thing is that the games would be played in Nigeria so the fans could see their stars in action. The only proviso is that any of these teams that fall in Nigeria’s group after the draw, naturally, will not be involved,” Adama said.

He impressed alot of us when he's was under late coach yemi teller (2007 u-17)

So what happened to him? Bad tourney or bad coach or both?

honeric01:
Yes, we have stars, the likes of Nwana, Owoeri, Osanga, ikechukwu thank-god and host of others, infact all of the u-17 are either from the nigerian league or from various academy.

Osanga did not impress me with the U-20 at all. Sorry.
But yes I know that U-17 were purely home base minus John Felangha - reserve goal keeper.

daralex007:
I'm currently in a location were its kinda hard 2 watch NPL,the major problem is 4rm d media,if more games can be televised everyweekend,it'll reduce our interest in other leagues and their camera is always 'bad',u knw wot i mean.

So you don't watch the matches and you expect to know the teams?
I agree about the media/NFF/NPL not doing their job as expected but what about the internet? You could search if you wanted to.
