Zhirkov is a top baller, but claiming he is at a par with Arshavin is a stretch too far. . . .
Take it or leave it. He is. He is that good. They are two different players (style of play and position) but in terms of quality that they bring to the team, they are at par. Fact.
You guys make it sound as if Arshie is the next best thing outta Hollywood.  grin

The issue is - signing a player before you get a coach in? Always risky - Ancelotti/whoever comes in and decides to treat him like Sheva was treated? Another wastepipe in the making.  grin grin
you are only echoing my statement.

And then again, shouldn't Chelsea hire a manager now before they start buying players. You dont want to buy a player that the coach will never use.

MrCrackles:
I agree with you that Dayokunu is an idiot when it comes to football analysis!

But i must say that becoz he got voted as the best player in a season doesnt mean he his the best player in the league or country or whatever!

Is Giggs the best player in England
? I remember he got voted the best in the country couple of months back by the shambolic PFA!
i know that will be the arguing point but I watch this guy and can boastfully tell you that he is at par with Arshie. Those are the two best players in russia if you dont count CSKA Moscow keeper.

PS: Giggs was simply honored for his contributions to the EPL after so many years. That was his last chance to be named best player.

Money Miss road Chelsea don start again buying Zhirkow for 30million.
Ribery is the best French player, Zhirkov is NOT the best Russian player.

Zhirkov is untested in Central European Leagues, Ribery is tested in those leagues and CL as well.
Dayok, sometimes you just type without thinking or checking your factoids grin. Don't you know that Zhirkov was voted the best russian player last season?  tongue some people sef. . .and they claim Ph.d in soccer simply because they follow the shultzLiga. grin

we nid to spend to get the best players,especially in the premiership , raw talents are rare in england today , the scouting system isnt doing their job i think, Clubs like Chelsea , Liverpool shouldnt buy buy buy to produce TALENTS or STARs
completely agree with you and I guess this is what sepp and co are trying to implement. The 6+5 stuff.
To compete you need to spend but not outrageously. Big money dont mean big performance. Fact.
And then again, shouldn't Chelsea hire a manager now before they start buying players. You dont want to buy a player that the coach will never use.

@ FBS
I am going by your Postulations.
Titi left because he wanted to win the UCL, not because of any messy divorce case.
Now that he's won,what is the next step?
Go back to France and retire in his Paris mansion(afterall he has achieved his life ambition)
Come back to Arsenal and be a coach, since he's a Gunner at heart!
You guys make me laugh.
My point is that, y'all are making it look like Henry is still a top dog(in CR7 and Messi's league)
and he left Arsenal to go and win the CL with Barcelonalike he was sold for 40 million huh
That logic sounds all so silly.
People close to him and also close to the club all know why he left.
Anyway, the Arsenal remains come what may.
He's a legend and loves the club inside out
The highlighted sounds ridiculous.
HNIC,
boy you scare me.
You say he loves Arsenal and left only for "personal" reasons. . .are you his brother, cousin or in any way close to him other an armchair supporter like the rest of you?
He left because he knew he could never win the UCL with L'Arses. Take it or leave it.  Now that he has won it, what he will do next is his decision.
Seriously, what makes you think he may not join PSG after some years grin. . .will he be the first footballer to do so?
He may not be a top dog but the dude is the French captain and that means he still got it.
You would have loved him to remain at the emirati 'cos since his departure you peeps have won nada.
Boy, I need protection from your logic 'cos its shitty scary.

Eagles hit camp:
Ten Super Eagles players trooped into the Hilton Hotel Cobham in London on Wednesday morning, ahead of Friday’s international friendly match against the Republic of Ireland.

Led by the injured pair of Dickson Etuhu and Danny Shittu, early arrivals include new invitee Sone Aluko, who plays for Aberdeen in the Scottish Premier League, as well as Spain-based midfielder Kalu Uche, Inter Milan’s Obinna Nsofor and Club Brugges' Joseph Akpala.

There are also defenders Ayodele Adeleye, Yusuf Mohammed, Sam Sodje and Olubayo Adefemi. More players were being expected tonight.

Friday’s match, which will bring to Nigerians sweet memories of previous wins over Republic of Ireland in another friendly prior to the World Cup finals in 2002 and at the invitational Unity Cup Tournament in London in 2005, will be played at the Craven Cottage home of Fulham FC.

NFF President Sani Lulu Abdullahi also arrived in London on Wednesday evening, and is scheduled to meet with the players alongside Minister/Chairman of the National Sports Commission, Engineer Sani Ndanusa at lunch on Thursday. Time is 13h00.

The weather is cold with showers of rain, and the team will have its first training on Thursday at the match venue, by 6pm. It is one hour drive from the hotel.

English Premiership side Chelsea signed Russian international midfielder Yury Zhirkov on a four-year term from Russian three-time champions CSKA Moscow, the daily tabloid Tvoi Den reported Friday.

Reports said that Chelsea owner Roman Abramovich was excited with Zhirkov's performances this season and has negotiated a 30-million-dollar deal with the Red Army side.

"Yury (Zhirkov) has signed the contract with Chelsea just a day or two ago," the newspaper quoted Zhirkov's agent as saying. "He will join his new team this summer.

France will be welcoming Nigeria on the 2nd of June at the Stade de France, 8pm Nigerian time.

Ray Domenech has reportedly lined up a strong team to face the Nigerians, a team which includes Thierry Henry. Nigeria may field the same team that will face the Republic of Ireland on the 29th of May (tonight).

Drop your comments and analyses guys.  .  .I'm not fully awake yet to say much right now. grin
let me dig you small. . .are you trying to sleep through your defeat to Barca? grin

I thought this was going to be called off but NFA managed to pull this off shocked. Good at least for those of us that are sick of seeing Nigeria play smaller teams. . .this is our victory. Lets us see how good our boys are.

Tell how do you pull a team up when you don't have a cut out plan?
When you don't have the required strategy. . . . . .to be frank, a whole lot of work has to go into the Rm project to be able to attract him
The next best place for him to go to in Spain is Barca and i don't think they need him.


BTW
Th14, Hleb, Gudjohnsen would be thanking their stars they left Arsenal and Chelsea respectively.
They wouldn't have had it good were they still there. At least Hleb & Henry has justified their switch!
You and I know that in football, anything can happen. Both on and off field issues are sometimes resolved by the signing of a single player or manager. Don't get me wrong, he doesnt matter to me if he signs up Newcastle but the point remains that he was clearly dejected last night and might affect him. And if it does, it affects the whole team 'cos he is your best player.

As regards Titi, if you check the Arsenal thread. I just made a comment about it there. Titi left L'Arses because he knew he would never win the UCL with them. Arsenal na championship side team. grin
Gudjohnsen though not a first team player for Barca this season would be glad he is now an european champion but I tell you he'd be happier if it happened with Chelsea.
European Football (EPL, UEFA, La Liga) › Re: Arsenal Fan Thread: For Gunners Only by FBS: 1:50pm On May 28, 2009
HNIC, what are you saying? That he left because of his messy divorce? you got to be joking.
The main reason was UCL. He wanted it badly.

Factoid: He got want he wanted with Barca.

Certainly he can't be at the Emirati forever but you mentioned that he is a Gunner for life. So what exactly is your point?
Yes, he looked like a passer by on the field 'cos his heart was no longer there. Wenger tried to trick him with a new stadium but shait didn't work.

Henry is a good player, and please count me out of those who say he is not. While he was your king at Highbury, he was admired even by his opponents. What folks had against him was that he wasn't performing at the same level for his country. I stand to be corrected on this.

Forget this history stuff. . .build on it then we will take you serious. Until then. . .

Ask Vidic!

Also ask him what he was doing when Eto turned him and he turned as slow as an HGV truck!

Vidic is simply overrated!

The player I feel sorry for is Evra. . . . he had been hyping all week about how he was gonna take Messi down, only to find that Guardiola played a trick on him by playing Messi as a CF, denying him the chance to make his name as the 'man who shackled Messi' like he did last year. Evra spent the whole game confused. He didn't know whether to attack or defend cos he had primed his mind for a game of defensive football, but was left with no one to mark.
Vidic lacks speed and only compensates by pulling shirts.  grin
Evra, as much as I admire the player was "lost" yesterday. Now I'm not quite sure where he even played last night. None of his passes reached its target (coupled with the fact that there was no one to mark). . .same for Giggs and in fact the whole team.
SAF blew it big time. Wonder what he was thinking.
Got to say it, GH is a master in games like this irrespective of what others may say.

Emperoh:
Make i ask you something, if you were a player, as good as CR7, with these options, where would you ike to be?
Man U or Real madrid? Be very honest while answering this question.

As it stands, RM are in shambles and don't even have a clue as to how to get out.
he will be thanking his stars that he stayed back last season. . . . . . .As for who is a better player, Messi was a batter player last nite cos he got the right support. CR7 didn't have that. geddit?
Honestly, I will sign up for  RM and you already pointed out the reason which is quite is simple: sign up to make a major impact. Sign up to rejuvenate a team in shambles. Thats what I'd do.
If CR7 remains with you folks then he is only resting on his laurels. Not good for a player. We all know he is no Maldini.

FYI: I'm better than CR7, just didnt take football serious grin. But watch out for my kid.  cool
European Football (EPL, UEFA, La Liga) › Re: Manchester United Fan Thread: Champions Of England! by FBS: 1:17pm On May 28, 2009
OH yes he did head the ball and scored against an English team.

Not that I like Messi (call me anything but still cannot forget his antics during Holland 2005) but my question is to the MU defence. What the heck were they looking at by allowing a dimunitive Messi to spend close to 27 secs in the air uninterrupted?

My mother-in law could have defended better last night. Mind you she is close to 60 if not more. grin

[quote author=~Sauron~ link=topic=268431.msg3938668#msg3938668 date=1243510223]It's shameful Gaynners, Renties and Scousers are here complaining about United's performance when they have won nowt this season.
Pray tell, United still had 4 titles to show for playing 66 matches this season.
Arsenal, Chelsea and Liverpool played more than 50 games and had no title to show for it.[/quote]Can we leave that until saturday night?  cool

Of course, you do.
Yesterday wasn't the biggest game of his career. His biggest game of his career was last season in Moscow.
He had already scored 41 goals that season and he had to prove to the world he can cut it on the big stage under Platini's nose and he did.
No I don't. To me he is just one of the several players in the EPL. Same as I wouldn't sweat if Peinaar leaves Everton. Not that they are in the same class, just that I dont give a shait about it. geddit?

What else must he prove?
He has won everything at club level within 5 years at Man Utd.
Henry left Arsenal cos he didn't win the UCL with the Arses. Ronaldo did that 12 months ago plus winning all the main individual football awards.
Something Henry could not do after 7 years at Arsenal.
Maybe I put it badly but as he has won everything with MU that might be the very reason he has to move on. Since he has nothing else to prove. Call it a change of environment.  wink


2 different situations IMHO.
Henry couldn't win nowt with Arsenal. . . . .went to Barcelona and won.
Ronaldo had already won all the meaningful titles last season with Man Utd. Why go anywhere else to look for the HOLY GRAIL?
You would be singing a different song had MU won last night. Every player wants to win the UCL as much as possible. Just as same goes for the manager. Last night was the game of his life or should I say, battle of his life. Messi. . .remember that name?
Now everyone would tell you that Messi is better than CR7.

What else? La Liga or UCL??
Please, don't make me LAUGH.
Please laugh 'cos as it stands, your best player may be heading to La Liga.
European Football (EPL, UEFA, La Liga) › Re: Manchester United Fan Thread: Champions Of England! by FBS: 12:27pm On May 28, 2009
So Ronaldo was the reason we had no midfield? The same Ronaldo that led the attack?
I know why EPL fans want Ronaldo out of the Premiership. He is a threat to your league position in England.
Ronaldo is going nowhere. The only other place he can go is Barcelona and they don't want him there.
He will play as a centre back if he joins Real Madrid.
No he was not responsible for the zero performance of your MF yesterday. Just an addition to the statement.
That said, It was clear to see yesterday that, that was the biggest match of his life to date and the team, erm, should I say let him down?
Personally, I dont give a ninny if he remains in the EPL.
Selling him will give him the zeal to prove something for himself and not for the team. His dejection (after yesterday) may take a bigger part of him, thus the loss of interest in MU may set in.
Look at Henry, he left The Arses and he is now an european champion.
I can clearly compare both situations, can't you?

PS: Agreed that CR7 already won the UCL. . .but he wants more. I know you dont want him to go 'cos he is your best player.

Y'all should sell CR7 before it is too late. There was simply no MF last night.
