The real deal about this Arthur deal isn't because we are losing a world class ( a potential, or whatever it is you choose to call him). In fact, if Barcelona was actually selling this guy for the whole £70M, then I really wouldn't have a problem. But to what essence is swapping him for Pjanic?

Before una come for my head, I'm saying Arthur isn't a potential. In fact, I was one of those people that basically overhyped him as the 2nd Xavi but somehow, this guy hasn't consistently proved to us why he should continue to stay.
That said, there are really lots of "Maybe(s)" surrounding his seemingly lacklustre performance:
Maybe the guy needs to learn from some key players in the same team as Xavi did. Maybe he isn't disciplined enough. Or should we just conclude that it is the "cagey" Barcelona tactics ( The oversung #PassToMessi) that is preventing him from reaching his full potentials?

Trust me guys, there are lots of questions begging for answers. Even the said Puig that is the midfield wave of the moment might end up in the same 'choked-up" system and start misbehaving.

Left to me, I'll either suggest the Barca board reconsider their stance on swapping Arthur for one "quarter-to" Juve midfielder. Better still, let him go on loan to a high-pressing club and let's see what he brings back to the team. If not The trophyless 90s saga will come knocking again once Messi retires. We might even be worse than Arsenal.

Dem be bast@rd nii ?

I thought I was the only observant person here.

This really could be the cause of hid depression, but people didn't notice it.

There are rumored speculations that Barcelona has agreed on a swap deal btw us and Juve to swap Arthur for Pjanic.

It's like thunder has finally gotten a resting place to dwell on.

Are Barcelona board mad??

Can the god of banter just allow R. Sociedad score or better still, allow them to end in a draw?


The ball just tire me to watch.

tesppidd:
No mind that guy.

GOAT without M at the beginning of it's botanical name is that one GOAT?

Lol. Abeg add Mohammed Alli to the list

tesppidd:
Messi Lionel
Michael Jackson
Mike Tyson
Michael Phelps
Marshal Mathers
Michael Jordan
Maradona Diego




GOATs have something in common.

The synonymous letter "M"


Man, you are savagely wicked.

Nonsense and Buhari

It won't happen. At least not now.


And even if it happens, it won't be her ancestor. There's a limit to what can happen when money is involved.

One thing I have come to understand beyond anything else is that with humans there is no universal law.

As absurd as that might be, he could get a job through that. That CV could fall into the hands of a cougar that would employ him and probably turn his life around. Life is very unpredictable.

I agree with you wholly.

Not just a cougar. It might even with a curious boss, a jolly fella or some sort of person who considers him as a candidate that is able to bring something "different" with absolute uniqueness.

Useless thread

Are you out of prison already?

Angelfrost:
Gattuso's Napoli can't even thrash relegation bound Brescia... Please, be serious!!!

No, he thought Barcelona is Juventus.

Barcelona won't crash out of the CL with Napoli!!! Maybe some other team but certainly not Napoli

Jokerman:
Lol.... Stat padding goat

That will not cost him his 7th Ballon d'or ( That's if it'll still happen)

pu7pl3:
If we win on Sunday il stop my mourning and go back to using purple fonts

Oluwa please

I had wanted to ask you why you stopped using them. Now, I know why

This my Barca team is just something else.

If Messi no score or assist, we don't have a choice than not win.

More so, we really need to allow Braithwaite/Fati to give Suarez a sense of competition( that's if it'll even happen). Man kinda takes himself as a god.


Officially, I don't think we stand a chance of winning the league title as it is.

Lol. It's like this Chadians like whining themselves. How can we give what we don't have?


Let them swerve jhor

Jefferyhi86:
Happy birthday, most of her movies,she's always three months pregnant

Lol. She's good with that role I swear. She knows how to trap men with her seductive look, slightly baritone voice and pregnancy. Na her forté be that.

But there are other platforms where I've seen her aged 52. Even Wikipedia sef

majamajic:
They are not age mates na
50yrs old Ronaldo can still play as wing back in Spanish league

And they'd win the CL effortlessly.

obonujoker:
Maradona.

However,doing it better than Messi isn't the thing... What matters is that they also have the ability to do it....

Of what use is all this to Argentina, where Messi plays, when they can't win anything??

Lol. What matters is that they are able to do it like and better than Messi. If not, then there's is no basis for greatness between Messi and others

But please, Maradona wasn't better at all. He was a god no doubt but comparing their playmaking ability is off it.


I still rank Messi on the same table as Maradona though. I am still unable to peg who's better between the two.

obonujoker:
So you expect a 35 year old to be running up and down the pitch... Ronaldo has paid his dues already....

Lol.. Doesn't he have the body system of a 20-year-old again?


I thought he was the "every year young " kind of player or is there something I'm missing?

obonujoker:
Many forwards do this too.

Rooney
Henry
Totti
Maradona...

When Ronaldo was younger he played like that too,although not as often Messi

Can you name just one forward that did it better than Messi?

Just one!!!!

wink2015:
YOU HAVE A POINT !

This is why Ronaldo that is moving from club to club is consider more greater in skills because he change clubs.

But Messi is afraid of Failure turning the side of it towards him.

MESSI is unsure of his skills elsewhere.

I seriously don't know how you guys reason. Is it that you love to justify nonsense or it's just your lifestyle?


When Penaldo made his move to M. Utd, were they a bad side without competent players? Even before and came and left, didn't they dominate English football like no man's football?

Do you know that R Madrid has been a hub for some of the biggest names that ever played football? How about the other signings that accompanied his exploit in 2009 when he moved to RM?


Even the Juventus he went to has been winning the league with "age-ridden" players before he went there. So what exactly is your point?


If Ronaldo really wanted to show he is an overly world-class, he probably should have signed for a less influential team and take them to the pinnacle of success. But no, he'd rather go for teams with already established legacy and fortify his already solid prowess there.


You guys should get other arguments to ridicule Messi's GOATism than dwelling on this "one-man" club thing. It's getting stale.

obonujoker:
You've started again.... Who told you Ronaldo doesn't playmake?? Infact what player doesn't playmake??

You can't compare both. Messi at 32 is still setting up other front-liners with simple, yet complicated passes that would have increased his tallies if only they were really converted.


I'm not downplaying CR7 capacity, but you should get to see the both of them throwing dead-end passes. You just cannot imagine how a full-forward player throws passes like a fully-bred midfielder.

Jokerman:
Lol.... That's Messi fans for you.... when you see ddippset, eni4real, bomboiy etc, defend Messi, you'd think Messi doesn't lose or makes mistakes... I remember how they were blaming Valverde, now they won't blame Sarri....

Interesting how you could actually put out a point like this? You, an affirmed Ronaldo asslicker can seriously understand that mistakes happen in football?


Isn't it a great thing to see how losses can bring out the humility outta even the most arrogant Penaldo supporter?
It's a good thing and it's marvelous in our eyes

Simonokeh7:
A well deserved victory for napoli, barca should be distressed about napoli in the forthcoming fixtures.

I swear bro. Forget all these trolling way I day, Napoli prowess is my real fear.


E no go make sense make them com eliminate us for our backyard.

FergieRaww:
who's that?! CR7 is a damn hot chick!

they did this with other players right?

Very hot.... Especially when it mattered most

TLona1:
Abeg what happened to "when it matters the most" and "always shows up when needed"?

The zeal is no longer there..

FergieRaww:
So are we all in agreement that Messi possessed the Argentine national side with badluck too .. since there's been a trophy drought ever since Messi started playing for them

c'mon man! lol

Lol. Maybe you're right but there's a slight difference between both.

While one of them is so selfless to continue, the other is trying to ride on to enjoyment on the detriment of the real people doing the job.

tesppidd:
Oya abeg answer me this;

How do I explain to my kids that Juventus were dominating ordinary small Copa Italia before Ronaldo came
And after he came they could not win it again?

He possessed them with bad luck.

RonaldoFan100:
RONALDO will win a trophy after playing two games after lockdown. What a player

Lol. I feel your pain right now bruh....


Dybala and Danilo gave your aturu a snare.


What a player.

ddippset:
That's his post Fergieraww.

Guess it's cool to even mention someone's kids on top penalty matter abi?

You out to be embarrassed with this your selective "football manners"


Someone's kids are not family abi?

M0r0n.

Easy man... I'm sure FergieRaww didn't consider "that much."

Make e no cause fight.
