Roberto Carlos in the same bracket as Ashley Cole is a violation

Carlos and Marcelo £1 is another violation

Ramos in the same category as Terry yet another violation.

That said, my back 4 is

Cafu, Ramos, Maldini, R. Carlos

Omo eh, Carlos was something else though.

I'll pick Alves and Lahm before thinking about centrebacks

With the £4 left, I'll take Ferdinand and Ramos because I want the option to play highline and Terry and Vidic ain't suited to it

For what defending was entirely all about, Baresi shits on Alves. Only that the latter was a demon going forward.

Then I don’t think anyone would rate Rio ahead of Maldini in any footie convo. I just don’t see how the English man edges him, maybe because many tend to think of Paulo just as a full-back.

They’ll rule for years to come. You heard it here first.

You have £10 to complete the perfect back four.

Baresi - Vidic - Maldini - Ashley Cole

Bring my boy already.

It is what it is 😎

Me I am just here to remind Dayo that two top Managers went head-to head in a UCL final playing 3ATB.

Facts only.

Formation of the future.

So was Emiefele working for Tinubu or not?

Anything is possible. Could be a smokescreen, I will never trust a Nigerian politician.

Na him o

Love the gold, not a fan of the white under the armpit but let's see

This is a big time recreation of the 1997/98 home jersey. It’s just in my head as I type.

We should be looking at some innovative ideas for our wears other than sparking up memories of Ed De Goey, Dan Petrescu, Celestine Babayaro, Ruud Gullit, Frank LeBoeuf, Steve Clarke, Gustavo Poyet, Gianluca Vialli, Mark Hughes, Dennis Wise, Di Matteo, Zola et al

Wait o. Is this our home jersey for next season?

La Repubblica claim Chelsea ‘have made a €60m offer’ to AC Milan for Mike Maignan.

@Sport_Witness

Chelsea verbally offered 60 million for Maignan in discussions for Loftus Cheek but AC Milan said NO.

amodu:
At least we will rest from the weekly combo of Mount & Havertz fans, whereas nothing of note.

Took this out of my mouth. Good positives.

Ballzproblem2:
Caicedo next ,then a striker and keeper ,and that's a wrap on our revolution.


We trim the squad along the way prepare for next season,man rivals won't know what hit them

I’m not sold on what we have as options at the wide positions.

Pulisic, Ziyech and CHO looks likely to leave this summer, while Mudryk and Noni are struggling to come to terms with the demands of the PL. That realistically leaves you with just an erratic Sterling.

Nkunku is a second striker and can’t be bothered with the wing duties.

I feel we should have made a move for Asensio who is going to become a free agent this summer. May not be a regular but definitely a good option for squad depth.

Our overall output is at an all time low. We could end up getting a 20-goals a season CF and still stay useless because of the drabs at our wide positions.

So Mason Mount is demanding a higher pay than Bruno Fernandes before he could join manyoo. Omo that boy is really going hard on some kolos 😂

Nateevs I heard that the board heard you this time.

Your boy is here.

Where will Hazard go next?

Surely Europe is done for him

One bad summer of overeating while on the cusp of his dream move ruined his reputation completely

He should kuku move to Saudi and pick some retirement funds. He can’t ride on an European challenge at this point.

Man is damaged physically and mentally.

Give me Moises Caicedo abeg.

How good is Randal Kolo Muani of E. Frankfurt?

nateevs:
You are ignoring the ultra-good portions and concentrating on coachable elements. He 22. Extremely malleable at this age. If Poch wants him to sit to earn a place in the team, he will sit.

You are talking of a 6-foot, combative midfielder, who has an engine the size of Kante's at the least, with an unusual ability to read passing lanes intelligently, and cut passes off before they happen. Those abilities in one single player don't come around often. Especially when it is apparent at 22. I will take that off the market first, then coach the less desirable off him.

Seen couple of his clips. Quite an aggressive, traditional DM. Gives the Roy Keane vibes. However, he looks susceptible to late lunges, and may get exposed by the fast tempo of the PL or the big teams in Europe.

But then, I suppose the proof of the pudding is in the tasting. He may just need to be here first for his skill set to be appreciated.

NWC Committee rejects Playoff Draw

The National Working Committee of FPL have rejected the primary results submitted for the Nairaland FA Cup playoff draw

League heavyweights such as twice league winners and four time FA cup winners, Ipukulu FC is conspicuously absent from the draw as is FPL luminary and 2 time league and FA Cup champion Brutallion FC managed by OAM4J

In an interview with Thisday, Ipukulu manager TamunoIbime Ayapripri rejected the playoff outcome, describing Playoff contenders Obainojazz, Iamoyindamola, Timbros and Iykmora as paper tigers. Ayapripri noted in particular that Ipukulu scored more overall points than Jazz FC yet Jazz FC managed to dollarise their way into the playoffs

Brutallion manager OAM4J has put together a legal team to challenge the results in court which may lead to expulsion of all playoff contenders. At time of writing, the kitchen cabinet and cabals around Ipukulu camp are urging their patron to petition league administrator Mukina2 to delete the league.

It promises to be an interesting time in FPL over the coming weeks

He is primarily a right winger, same as Chukwueze

You go soon wake up from this AM nonsense that is befalling lazy Nigerians and foolish Chelsea fans

Your team was successful with 3 CMs and 3 forwards, it's when you went chasing specialist AM like Coutinho and Griezmann that you fell down

Any AM that can't function as a CM is a waste of space. Check Pep team, all his central attacking midfielders are primarily CM (KDB, Gundogan, Bernardo). Olise can't function as a CM, so that AM talk is a continuation of the foolishness we see on this thread week in, week out

IB what’s your take on Bruno Fernandes as regards to this?

Can you trust him well enough in a CM position?

€49,400 for 38 games in the EPL.

Refs are not making so much money.

A001:
I'm still not convinced Boli means well for the club. No be by buying two dozen players in one season

TV personality dey now sign manager for us. We don finish!

Another he would ask may tell him to get Scolari because he likes his bald head.

No one should ever revisit that stupid question of why top pros gets paid massively.

You don’t invest so much into becoming a professional, give 90 minutes of exhilarating, uber-cool performance, only to end up picking a paltry figure as wage.

I wish this sort of game gets served the fans every damn week.

It felt like watching a final. Top professionals giving their Tier A performance.

Pepe Reina go still line up for Villarreal later today against Real Madrid.

It’s about fitness level. If your body can carry you, take a pay cut, find a team that has nothing to lose in a league with low intensity and stay ballin.

PatientofYabale:
Le Sommer of France is better than all Chelsea striker combined. See as woman dey play like people wey get sense. No be to dey watch oloriburuku Chelsea match wey go bore you to death. My oloriburuku team go sign stupid lampard again. Arapada si ibu in yourba. We are on a long thingooo

timbros:
You mean Derby County.

Yeah thanks.

I dey fear people wey get a mad IQ, and it’s easily one of the reasons I don’t berate Frankie.

He could be a system manager who needs the right funds to build the sort of team he desires to play with, and a glance at his managerial career clearly shows that he hasn’t been privileged to work with such budget or even players.

It’s been shitty teams to work with, from Wigan to Chelsea (who were then placed under a transfer ban), to an ancestry inconsistent Everton side.

While he had an unfortunate brief stint with us, he was able to produce one of the best right backs in world football, one of the best defenders in Italy, one of the best forwards in Italy and a hardworking astute player in Mount.

This is the first time in his career he will be inheriting a good squad that has just a couple of dysfunctions. He could have some great ideas waiting to be explored.

Speedy Darlington has low key turned to one of the top comedians in the country. His profile has been steadily rising.

You don’t just underestimate the power of weed. Man works without scripts, has no DOP, no director, no costume designer or even a budget for locations.

Just a puff or two in a hotel he lodged with a chick, and his inner Da Vinci gets unleashed 😂

GloriousGbola:
Very good. More of you need to be arrested for stalking, slander and defamation of character.

Quick one, did Tinubu’s EC9 contain details of any secondary school attended in Nigeria and did he also affirm that he has no nationality other than Nigeria?
