forgiveness:You obviously cannot tell when someone replies you with tongue in cheek kai! ![]() His loan move to Granada was a failed one. He managed to play just 9 times all season out of a possible 40 + games including cup games. His loan move to Bordeaux was even more depressing, he managed just 12 games out of a possible 40+ games. His loan spell at Aston Villa was the worst of all, he didn't play one single game all season ![]() Putting in perspective, Uche Agbo have played 18 games and counting in his current loan spell at Granada. ![]() With all the available data hitting you in the face like a miracle you still believe Liverpool gained from his transfer If he was not on a decline why did his worth plumate from 7M to 3M including add ons and bonuses ![]() |
BascoVanVeli:Iwobi is addressed as Nigerian. Even when you listen to commentaries, he's addressed as Nigerian which fills me with pride. Sentiments aside, Iwobi is yet to hit the heights Sterling touched at Liverpool. Liverpool rode on the backs of Sterling and Suarez on their premiership race,which was jeopardised by the famous Gerrard slip. Prior to that season, Sterling was worth far less than that. He would have left Liverpool for 12M in 2012 when he had a contract stand off. Arsenal have about 3 players worth over the 50M mark in Koscielny, Ozil and Sanchez. Barcelona wanted Bellerin for 35~40M. |
forgiveness:I baited you with that and you fall yakata ![]() Don't go all sentimental when arguing with me. You will always loose ![]() |
BascoVanVeli:Iwobi is worth 20~25M max in the European market. I guess you're judging him with the Chinese over inflated market. |
maidaboi:I actually rate him as a future Ballon d'or winner. France have the best collection of young footballers around currently. They could walk away easily with the next world cup. |
BascoVanVeli:Iwobi is not worth 50M,you know it. |
komekn:Good news he won't play for Cameroun? ![]() |
Napoleon55:I don't know if he is better than all of our players but currently, he is the best young player in Europe. Any club willing to get his services must be willing to pay close to 50M. I don't know if any of our players is worth that much. |
forgiveness:You've lost the argument already. Running from pillar to post have shown you up for what you are ![]() First of, no club releases the full details of their player's contract. Details in contracts are confidential. We only know from whistle blowers and third party websites about these details in players contracts. You can check this link ; http://www.marca.com/en/football/international-football/2016/12/07/5848111122601d2c5f8b4635.html It's rather a tad classless of you to continue this argument. N/B: you should read the bolded carefully. ![]() |
Peter Maduabuchi Utaka (born 12 February 1984 in Enugu ) is a Nigerian footballer with a Belgian passport currently playing for Sanfrecce Hiroshima on loan from Japanese club Shimizu S-Pulse . He is the younger brother of John Utaka . [1] Club career Utaka moved to Croatia as a 16-year-old to play in Dinamo Zagreb after trying his luck at Ismaily where his older brother John was a cult figure and in the United Arab Emirates. In 2003 he moved to Belgium from Dinamo and signed for K. Patro Eisden Maasmechelen of the 2nd division. KVC Westerlo moved to sign him the following season, and in his first season in the top flight and the transfer was worth 250 000 euro. He joined Royal Antwerp FC in January 2007 where he became a first team regular, and he helped Antwerp qualify for the playoffs, finishing second. He also emerged top scorer with 22 goals and capped hs glorious season, winning the Best Striker's Award. He also put more gloss on his breath-taking performance that season, claiming the Most Valuable Player's award over eight times, making him one of the most feared strikers in Belgium. On 30 August 2008, it was announced that Utaka would join Danish club OB . [2] for an undisclosed fee. Utaka joined Danish side OB in 2008. In his first season, he finished joint fourth place on the scorers list, while he led all scorers in his second season. He finished with 18 goals in 33 matches, the first time in five years an OB player was top scorer in the league (last was Steffen Højer in 2004–05 with 20 goals). His Danish team- OB included also two former Manchester United players- Roy Carroll and Eric Djemba-Djemba and another former French international player- Bernard Mendy. In January 2012, Utaka moved to Chinese Super League club Dalian Aerbin . He scored 20 goals in 28 games in his first season, playing alongside former Barcelona players such as Fabio Rochemback and Seydou Keita, as well as former Australian International player Mille Sterjovski and former PSG player Guillaume Hoarau. He also scored 11 consecutive fixtures to establish a new C-league record.He transferred to Beijing Guoan on 9 July 2013 in 2M Euro transfer. That made him the most expensive international signing in the history of the club. He also played with former Sevilla and Mali captain- Freddy Kanoute. [3] Utaka made 15 goals in 35 appearances in all competitions for the club, before he was loaned to Shanghai Shenxin during summer transfers in 2014, managing to score only four times in thirteen appearances in all competition for the Shanghai outfit. In January 2015, Utaka transferred to J1 League -club Shimizu S-Pulse . [4] The club faced a difficult season that year as they were battling relegation. At the end of the season, Utaka scored nine goals in 28 appearances, and the club ended up being seventeenth-placed, thus relegated into the J2 League . The next year he was loaned to J1 League defending champions Sanfrecce Hiroshima . [5] He scored his first goal for the club in the Japanese Super Cup final, in a 3-1 win against Gamba Osaka . Utaka bagged his first goal in the J1 League on 12 March, scoring a 67th-minute penalty against Shonan Bellmare in a 2-2 draw at home. He scored his next in a 1-5 away thrashing against Omiya Ardija , scoring the opening in the 22nd minute. International career On 21 September 2009, national coach Shaibu Amodu selected Peter for the Nigerian national football team . Utaka made his debut for Nigeria months later in a 5–2 home win over Congo DR on 3 March 2010, despite only getting his call up late after the NFF called his mother looking for him. [6][7] He scored the first goal and assisted on the second. [ citation needed ] He scored twice against in a Nations Cup qualifier against Ethiopia . His first goal was the fastest goal in the qualifications-29secs. Honours Top goalscorer 2007–08 in the Belgian Second Division with 22 goals in 34 games Top goalscorer 2009–10 in the Danish Superliga with 18 goals in 33 games Chinese FA Cup Top goalscorer: 2013 J. League Division 1 Top Scorer: 2016 Clearly this dude is the best Nigerian striker in Asia with his record and on current form. Emerging top scorer in every league he has played is a record any football player should be proud of. Why he didn't play in a bigger stage is what I don't know but certainly not because of lack of ability. |
forgiveness:He didn't meet up to the performance contract clauses in his contract. Initial transfer fee €1,880,000 upon Ilori’s registration to play Liverpool €3,000,000 by July 2014 (note: we signed Ilori in August 2013) Total transfer fee = €4.88m Performance bonus: 15 Liverpool apps = €500,000 30 Liverpool apps = €500,000 45 Liverpool apps = €500,000 Total performance bonus = €1.5m https://www.reddit.com/r/LiverpoolFC/comments/423h2i/full_details_of_tiago_ilori_transfer_leaked/ He didn't meet any of those required clauses in his Liverpool contract. That's why he's a failure and bad investment ![]() Atleast you don learn a thing or two about players contracts today ![]() You should thank me for this info I dey download give you .. Have a look at his Reading contract ; The pacy centre-back has penned a three-and-a-half year deal until summer 2020 and could make his Royals debut at Derby County this Saturday (3pm ko).Read the bolded carefully oh.... The Reading deal of about 3M includes add ons and appearance bonuses, you can see similarities with the Liverpool contract earlier BASED ON APPEARANCES AND ADD ONS. In reality, Liverpool have not made a gain from his transfer because Reading did not make an upfront payment of 3M. If you can't understand this simple breakdown then I can't help you. Even his Aston Villa deal if one is to scrutinise the terms and conditions binding on the contract, Villa would not have payed a dime to Liverpool because he didn't make a single appearance for them all season. I wonder what it is you will gain by hawking this straw man all over the place. Seriously, am curious. |
forgiveness:Okay Liverpool GAINED 1.3M. Abi? Oya tell me straight answer oh.. Why didn't Liverpool pay the full 7M to sporting Lisbon? Straight answer oh.. Remember ![]() |
forgiveness:Why didn't Liverpool pay the stipulated 7M? Bottle of champagne for you if you can answer that Did Aston Villa loose the 1M on his loan fee or not? Please answer ![]() |
forgiveness:His deal with Liverpool was valued at 7M if he came good. But he didn't come good hence, Liverpool paid only 3M+ ![]() Just like the Liverpool contract, Reading aren't paying 3.7M up front. . They are likely paying half of that or less added performance based bonus will be paid if he meets those salient clauses which will push the deal up to the 3.75M valuation. You got a break down of his contract with Liverpool, why dint you get a break down of his contract with Reading so we know ![]() By the way, here's an article about Thiago Ilori. In this article he was labelled as one of the biggest flops of Brenda Rogers and about 1M in waste for Aston Villa Jurgen Klopp may not have to spend big in January after all as the club are expected to welcome one of the many on-loan defenders back to the club this month in an attempt to ease the club's rearguard woes.The bolded got me cracking. If I didn't know better I would have sworn that the writer was a member of this thread who have followed this argument ![]() |
komekn:Your point about Obafemi is well constructed,I totally agree. However,if we're to consider Obafemi, I think we should also consider Peter Utaka. Back in the day when he was still playing Street football in Nigeria a lot of us were of the opinion he was the more talented Utaka. Putting it in perspective, this guy have won the top scorer in each of the 4 countries he has played. Just last year he won the top scorer in Japan. Mind you, the Japanese league is the best league in Asia. The Japs usually win the Asia champions league. I will certainly look his way if we are looking for a joker |
forgiveness:You don't have the details of his contract with Reading. Just like I discovered that his deal with Liverpool was worth 7M in total but 3.75M was paid up front with remaining balance as performance added bonuses this is exactly how standard contracts are drafted. His said contract with Reading in totality is worth 3.5M, Reading might have paid just a chunk of the money upfront with the remaining balance added as performance related clauses which brings the deal to the said 3.5M.... No club in the world pays the entire outlay of a contract up front. Basically contracts are drafted in view of being performance oriented. Certain terms and conditions are met before certain percentages are paid. For example, Liverpool are due some payments if Reading gain promotion, if Thiago Ilori makes certain number of appearances, if he gets capped by his national team etc... Whenever these clauses are met, Liverpool will be due to get some remittance. The entire sum when all these clauses are added brings the deal to 3.5M. You're obviously not a football man, if you are I wouldn't have to go this far to explain contracts to you but take it as one of those things you learnt today ![]() Having gone through the paces to explain these details to you, I hope you now get what I mean that Thiago Ilori's is on a steady decline and Liverpool ran at a loss with their investment on him. The 1M Aston Villa invested in his loan deal also was a huge loss to Aston Villa because he made no single appearance. Thiago Ilori is what we call dead wood. ![]() Bad market ![]() |
042 it is |
terzurum5:I still have high hopes for him though. Age is well on his side. But he needs to develop elsewhere, preferably outside the epl. He needs a new environment. |
terzurum5:My brother, this Iheanacho issue don taya me. First of, I think Man city developed him the wrong way. Playing him as a striker was just selfish of the club because one aspect of his game was developed(goal scoring) while others were left hollow. Watching him take on the world in UAE as a left-footed wing forward was delightful, just like watching Mbappe. Many city just cashed on his goal scoring prowess and nothing more. Developing him first on the wings would have pushed Iheanacho's game immensely, gradually he can be converted to a centre forward. That's the way to go. I give kudos to wenger and the coach at Maastrachi for the work they are doing with Iwobi and Nwakali. I hope Wolfsburg does the same with Oshimhen. For the sake of his development, I wish to see Oshimhen develop first on the flanks. |
edi287:His dad is an ex Camerounian international. You never can tell.... |
Did anyone watch Kylie Mbappe this night? I've been taking about this dude for the past few months here. I was telling a friend as we watched the Monaco Vs Man city game earlier that if this boy named Mbappe decides to play of Cameroun, we may not beat them over the two legs. That boys Celine is damn too high. He has the potential to win the World footballer of the year if he keeps up at the rate he is going. Watching him makes me feel bad for Iheanacho because I know he would have been just as good if Man city had developed him properly. For what it's worth, as an African, I want Mbappe to play for Cameroun but only after our double header in August. |
forgiveness:The loan deal with Aston Villa was worth 1M with an option to buy[b] if he impressed [/b] It's a pity your guy couldn't muster one single appearance at Aston Villa. ![]() Jezz..... The more I dig, the more dirt I find on this guy. Its getting scary ![]() No wonder Tim Sherwood is an object of ridicule in the football world these days. He won't be getting a decent gig with shitty transfers like this. |
forgiveness:You shot down the pivot of your argument with the bolded. The deal that took him to Liverpool would have risen to 7M. Your point about his loan spells at Bordeaux and Granada being successful have come to Nutts with this single bolded sentence because Liverpool would have payed up to 7M if he hit a certain plateau but the straw man had an underwhelming outing which was why he was shipped out for a knock down FEE ![]() Everything still goes back to what I said initially. "Thiago Ilori is in a steady decline and he is not better than anything we have" ![]() I hope he finds his level at Reading ![]() |
forgiveness:Reading paid a club record fee of a whooping 3.5M for the straw man while Liverpool lost more than 50% of the investment they made on the same player ![]() I get am before no be property na ... Ndidi, Success and Ademola where busy building themselves up while Sporting Lisbon carry bad market drop for Liverpool hand am sure Mino Raoila hand dey for that transfer ![]() Today, this same player is worth 5 times less than his age mates ![]() Ndidi na attacker abi? ![]() Thiago is on the same level as Semi Ajayi ![]() |
forgiveness:It's a pity you don't know intending managers go for compulsory internship, either assisting a manager or working with the reserves/academy before handed Uefa Pro licence ![]() Nwa teacher, Wikipedia don open your yansh ![]()
|
forgiveness:A club's transfer record in 2017 stands at 3,5M and you're shouting ![]() You no dey shame to type this? kai! Watford paid 12M for Isaac Success while Leicester paid 15M for Ndidi. These guys are Thiago's age mates oh ![]() Everton nko? They paid Charlton 12M for 19yr old Lookman And you're celebrating Thiago ILORI's 3M move Stam is a nobody as far as coaching is concerned. Yes Henry was an apprentist at Arsenal. He was working to get his Uefa coaching licence while on the job as an assistant. Wenger asked him to step down working as a Sky pundit because he can't be working with the players during the week while criticising them on match day on TV. Stam was also on the same Uefa Pro license pursuit, his studies took him to Ajax as reserve team coach then at Southampton as an under study to Koeman. These experiences qualifies a candidate for Uefa Pro license. Its like an internship programme ![]() You should be paying me for these info I dey download give you ![]() |
forgiveness:A manager in his first managerial season is still cutting his teeth. You cannot use him as a reference point when making a judgemental call on a player whose career have nosedived from the he heights of being a super kid to being relegated to the U23s His time at Ajax was more like an internship, just like Henry was at Arsenal . ![]() |
forgiveness:Chelsea didn't concede 65 goals and go on relegation na ![]() |
forgiveness:Frank De boer was the manager of Ajax. Japp Stam just tagged along as his lackey or side kick. We know Jap Stam the player, we no sabi Jap Stam the coach ![]() |
forgiveness:Nwa teacher, it was a figure of speech ![]() You need long man dictionary make you take decode am? ![]() |
forgiveness:Hahahaha injury injury injury ![]() The young man is injured every 2 games. Na the kind person you want in our national team No big club will come for him again Oga. He's like a poisoned chalice ![]() He is on a steady decline Nwa teacher ![]() |
