Twin Kante!

It's September, here comes Harry Kane

Roland17:
I wonder what Chelsea fans thought they got when Bakayoko moved to the bridge.

Yaya Toure

Moooooraaaaaaaaatttttaaaaaaaa!

Head master!

nateevs:
There's something not right about Bakayoko yet

There will never be anything right. You either have the basics or don't.

Jesu!

Just used my wildcard to sell Jesus and buy Mane

larride:
Lampard anytime any day.

The only English midfielder I might take over Lamps is Scholes and that's even debatable.

Wiser words were never spoken

ofuonyebi:
I suspect those two (2) companies founded when he was a VP...

He does not need to be a VP to found those companies. Do you know how much he stole from Customs?

Atiku, the billionaire customs officer. He has had no work but Government work since he started as a Customs Officer in 1982. He stole Customs dry, and carried his looting into Government.

PietroRico:
Someone cannot catch a break on this shekpe thread.
I go away for 12 hours and you all are already neck deep into another big brawl and or scandal.

These days it's difficult to even be ąrsed about what is actually going on

I dey tell you! Thank God say my phone spoil during this period so I no fit dey keep up with these shenanigans.

raumdeuter:
This one na straight up yahoo yahoo. It was in the news yesterday. One of the Sodje bros I read is in the middle East as police don hold him 2 brothers he no return

None of the Sodje brothers made decent money from football except Sam. Sam will be the one who can be said to have squandered money. Efe I don't think ever earned more than £100k per year from football even on his best contract. He needed that Super Eagles appearance money. So I expect that Efe and Akpo would still have to hustle after football, while Sam may be alright if he cut his living expenses and invested in property during his time. Maybe Sam would have been on £5k-10k per week at Reading. Akpo & Efe meanwhile probably never earned more than £2k per week. Efe actually lives not far from me. We are in the same village. He came up North to become assistant manager of Macclesfield town, and never went back South.

This thread has lost me. I'm not interested in recap. Make una carry una wahala go abeg.

raumdeuter:
I hear say dem Sodje brothers don dey do yahoo yahoo and were busted by cops

why is it that over almost 80% of former athletes become broke within a few years of retirement?

Sam Sodje was the one caught match-fixing. Is this a different case?

70

Could be 82. I was handcuffed but did not reach police cell so technically was never arrested.

airmark:
The cameroonians were just targeting his wing yesterday and nearly paid off.

@ibime that obita is from uganda, based on what i read now. His left leg is solid.

hehn, so all that Naija talk was misinformation? Actually to think of it, Obita sounds like Ugandan name as well.

Bimffo:
Echiejile is gone. That one no be footballer again na.

I think NG RB is solid, but that left back (LB) is so shaky. They should retire Echiejile abeg.

What happened to Osaniwa? That guy went ahead of Echiejile at some stage.

airmark:
That's good. It seems that coach is sound. Do you see ola aina benching the boy?

Aina dey Naija squad?

Another guy Naija should get is left-back Jordan Obita from Reading. He is better than Elderson.

airmark:
That boy playing right back for nigeria is an intelligent defender. The guy will go places. Shehu something.

He's not even a rightback by trade, he's a CM

See as Naija done turn African group of death into Bundesliga (one-man league)

Obere4u:
I checked with squawka. But I think it's still average though.
But saying he has not hit 80% in his career is false
Check his 2013/2014 season on Whoscored

What league were Leicester in in 2013-14? I repeat my original statement:

Drinkwater has never averaged 80% pass completion in any Premier League season.

If you doubt that, put £100 on it.

Obere4u:
He had a 80% pass success in the premier league once.

Not according to my Whoscored. And BTW, passing success rate is not jambscore. All midfielders should be in the 85% range, and really good ones in the 90% range.

BlueAngel444:
Drinkwater (isn't a DM but has better defensive stats than Matic, great passer)

Drinkwater has never even made 80% pass success in any Premier League season. How does that make him a great passer?

You guys are forgetting Oscar was part of our title winning squad last season, ditto Ivanovic.

hensben:
He will still move by January I think.

He will, but the 6 months could dull his sharpness or could even kill his career.

Chelsea included him in EPL Squad so they can keep fining him his weekly wages if he doesn't report back to London. Had we not included him, he could have claimed victimisation in court.

So after everything Diego Costa did to jeopardise his own career for Atletico, they could not even reciprocate by dropping £40m on him. He must be feeling like Drake this morning - mōtherfuckers never loved him.


This is a lesson in life, don't put yourself at risk for someone who won't put themselves at risk for you.

Chelseafan1:
Bros, dt first one wey we win dt time, e no watertight anything and u no complain like ds, u don change, ds is not the Ibime we know.

Dat first time was watertight.

Chelseafan1:
Ibime, be like Nateevs, it's not late bro.

We, Nairaland association of Hazard fan boys still dey hope say u go pay us our money.

Make e no be say Airmark don collect ds thing sideline me sef.

I still cannot see what Nateevs is paying up for. Because more people agreed with Nihilist POV? How is that the basis for a bet? A bet must be watertight legally, and tied to numbers or historical facts. I can see neither in Nateevs bet with Nihilist.

nateevs:
In isolated cases, yes. Consistently, NO!

11 Willians will beat 11 Hazards everytime.

Hazard cannot easily dribble Willian (no one can). . . . but Willian will dribble Hazard everytime.

Willian can easily play fullback, wing, central midfield and AM with no problem.

Hazard can only play wing and AM.

A team of 11 Willians can actually compete in the Premier League except for aerial balls.

I'm glad we missed out on Llorente and Barkley, and I'm neutral on Oxlade. Drinkbleach doesn't get me excited but we can manage him so far he is a hardworker and can do the basics, which are lacking in Fabregas and Baka for different reasons. No L was taken tonight in missing out on those average players. Only Mahrez woulda been a W.

airmark:
Still can't believe Arsenal didnt bring out the cash.

Wenger is a fool. Arsenal fans woulda been calm tomorrow morning if they woke up to find Mahrez had been signed (even if Sanchez was sold). They will be so pissed tonight.

We bought in our areas of greatest need - wingback and midfield. Anything more like Mahrez woulda been icing on the cake but at least we've covered the basics.

With all the prices flying around though, I'm surprised no one considers £45m a good deal for Mahrez.

timbros:
Goodnight guys.

I hope to see Mahrez's unveiling pictures here in the morning.

No club made bid for Mahrez. Mahrez only left Algeria camp because they were about to embark on a 9 hour flight to Zambia and he didn't want to be stuck in the air if a bid came in, so he flew to Paris to wait on a call that never came. He was basically making himself available incase of incasity because closed mouth don't get fed.
