If you can't remember that's fine.
I attached the link for you to remember old man.
Go through them and get your answers.. Okay?
If you have anymore questions, still refer back to the link🤝
I don't see any link and if I do, it would be regurgitating the same büllshit of how shares in a company is not an asset

Same way Obi does know the definition of an asset is the same way he did not know that you can pay contractors by bank transfer back in the 2000s when he was caught transporting N250m of Anambra Govt cash in Jeeps to his private company in Lagos and claimed it was for payment of Anambra state contractor. Of course that was just the one time he was unfortunate to get caught from a trip they used to make every month end with Anambra security votes to deposit in Obis company in Lagos.

Look, Obi is not the dirtiest politician but the Obidients cult attempt to paint him as a Saint is an insult to intelligence, and their attacks on anyone who points out the obvious is sickening. That's how you were almost abusing KingTom an Obi supporter in your latest fit of Obi rabïes, just for telling it as it was.

Obi must be canonised. The same Obi that handpicked Obiano his schoolmate and Fidelity Bank colleague for decades, the same Obi that chose to swim with the utterly and sickeningly corrupt Atiku on ticket. Some of us were not born yesterday. Supporting Obi does not mean you should renovate the whole place with lies. Obi was an unremarkable, slightly underperforming Governor who stole like every other Governor. You can find posts from me in 2011 or so here in Nairaland analysing the fraud in some of his contracts.

Better do yourself a favor and refer to my old posts.

You are crashing out.

I don't remember anything from 2022 cos it's not that serious but you obviously do since Obi is your religion

Are shares an asset?

Use AI if your brain is stuck

"The Code of Conduct Bureau (CCB) requires public officers to declare their assets, liabilities, income, and interests using Form CCB 1"

The CCB law clearly states you only declare what you own.

There's no where in the guidelines of CCB as at the 2022 election were it stated you need to declare co-owned businesses.

If anybody has anywhere the law (2022 period) states that, please bring it or shut up 😁
So Elon Musk shouldn't declare Tesla shares?

Got it 👍🏽

The law said declare your assets and liabilities, you are speaking grammar

I'm sure Obi declared some shares in Nigerian PLCs. Are they not jointly owned with several hundreds of thousands of other shareholders?

Na you get time to watch video. Na headline I stop. Naija wailings no consine me reach like that

Obi would not spend the money differently on anything, he would spend it paying off debts and defending Naira which Tinubu is already doing. On top of that, he would spend more buying loyalty from APC and PDP senators to stop from getting impeached or just to push his agenda through. A minority Government is always more expensive in Nigeria, too many people to buy.

It's a fallacy and utter stewpeeedety to think you need more players for Champions League than Conference league

UCL is not Conference League that you can rest your first 11. The same main players than play Saturday EPL will play Wednesday UCL

Imagine Ireti playing Tyrique or Gusto in UCL on a Wednesday, I'm sure a lot of members will complain

You only need 18 main outfield players plus 2 youth graduates = 20 to prosecute a campaign. Pep often had a first team squad of only 19 players (including goalkeepers) all those years he was dominating back to back

Olmo and Ferran Torres are Central midfielders? Ok Chief
Olmo and Fermin that you listed, what position do they play?

The only wingers at Barca are Yamal and Raphinha with Ferran sometimes deputising between CF and striker, and Fati taking several seats. That's 3 and a half wingers.

Pedro is Nkunku replacement, Gittens is Sancho, George won't need a replacement, only a replacement for Madueke looks likely when he's sold. City have Savinho, Doku, Grealish, Foden, Bobb, Haaland, Marmoush, Cherki for 4 positions. Barcelona has Yamal, raphiniha, Lewandowski, Olmo, Ferran, Fermin and they are also actively looking for another winger to add. Every team needs depth.
You added Olmo and Ferrin, central midfielders when comparing Barca - nonsense and ingredients

Estevao is already replacing Madueke and if you ask me Neto should go to to make another space on RW for Palmer

Pep has already asked Man City board to sell many of those players you listed, that he will even resign if they don't sell them - certainly he will sell Grealish and McAtee at the first opportunity as well as even Savinho and Doku if decent bid comes in

For me it's not even about million wingers, I always believe that having too many good players for a position could be counter productive and it wouldn't take long before one of them leave to a club where they can play and be the protagonist.

We saw it with Fabregas/Thiago at Barca, Salah/KDB, Aubameyang/Immobile, Palmer at City, Ozil/Isco, Benzema/Higuain, Sanchez/Neymar/Pedro, Bravo/Stegen, Alvarez at city and many more. Some examples may not match but the point is that a bloated squad doesn't last. Eventually they'll want to leave to be regulars elsewhere.

So my theory is this, say a team is playing with 4:3:3, for the front 3, five players are okay, at max 6. For the midfield, 5 players okay, max 6. Talented youth players can fill in when needed.

Barcola is the 4th man for PSG. When everyone is fit he's on the bench even though he's playing lots of games. Eventually he'll look to be the main man elsewhere. At Bayern he'll be starter so I see him leaving. May not be this summer though.

Madueke, Estavoa, Pedro, Jackson, Delap, Neto, Gittens, George is overkill for three positions even if he(Mmadu) leaves, adding other players unless Mbape level player is just a waste at this point. I didn't even add Nkunku and Palmer.
Exactly

Anyone who thinks signing million wingers is improving a squad instead of getting the CM right should look at Brighton

Since Brighton went to playing 3 wingers behind the striker (Mitoma, JP and Minteh/Rutter), they have been falling down the table for the last 2 seasons

There is no winger at Brighton who you won't want at Chelsea whether Mitoma. JP or Minteh, yet they keep getting worse because they sacrificed their central midfield/ or a 3rd centreback for more wingers

Even their wingers they sent away or benched (Encisco, Buonanote, Adingra) had them performing better than they are now because their middle was stronger then. Same feewlesh format Chelsea is following, buying more and more wingers and sending away other wingers hoping the next winger will make the key difference, while chasing the law of diminishing returns on wingers

If Encisco, Buonanote and Adingra could achieve better league finishes than João Pedro, Mitoma and Minteh, that should tell you their solution never lay in chasing more wingers.

From a tactical perspective, Maresca's system is heavily reliant on wingers. So winger provisioning takes priority.

From a numbers perspective, we had Mudryk, Sancho, Madueke, Neto and still went and signed Estevao.

Right now, we have lost Sancho, Mudryk and Madueke. If somehow we kept all 3, we still would have kept Estevao on top. Right now, we only have Gittens as replacement. 3 out, 1 in. But I ask for 3 out, 3 in and it's a problem? No!

We are not overprovisioning the department, considering we now have CL.

Business wise, if Nwaneri becomes available as a result of Arsenal mis-purchasing Madueke, you take that opportunity. Because worst case scenario, you make money. We are in PSR era baba, we must flog valuable assets year in year out to stay afloat. You know the drill.


Nkunku, Sterling, Felix, and the rest are all gone. Not part of the squad. Nothing concerns me with those one. If we can move CSO, we can move them.
This is rubbish. Can you play more than 2 wingers at a time? Better yet, please name the wingers in Marescas Leicester team. Maresca has no say and is following the template of our feewlesh TDs direction

There's a reason I asked for the wingers in Liverpool. If you like, you can extend that to Man City, PSG, Madrid and co

They all have a template of 3 CMs non-negotiable with only 3 or 4 regular wingers playing consistently and only 2 at any given time. None of these teams use a traditional no10

But our feewlish TDs will take one CM slot, give it to a winger/AM, then buy 3 players for that position, forever shutting out the possibility of playing 3 traditional CMs WHICH IS THE WINNING TEMPLATE FOR MOST BIG CLUBS IN THE WORLD.

PSG cannot play without their 3 traditional CMs, Liverpool cannot. Man City. Barcelona, Madrid do not.

But somehow you want us to believe that Maresca who had a midfield of KDH, Harry Winks and Ndidi is wedded to the idea of removing midfielders for wingers. Maresca that only used two wingers at Leicester for the whole season (Mavididi and Fatawu)

We should continue using failed template that historically is vastly inferior to the traditional 4-3-3 in the name of stacking wingers and wonder why we are not at the top table consistently. Since Emenalo brought this template to Chelsea, we have only challenged for the title 3 times (2014, 2015 and 2017) and on almost all 3 occasions, we did it by moving away from playing 3 wingers behind a striker

£1.3bln down the drain on this policy with no tangible result and no consistency

We are going into 4 competitions. Kudus, Estevao, Nwaneri for right wing, Gittens, Neto, Tyrique for LW and getting £50m for Madueke (knowing we have Quenda in next season), is the exact definition of great squad building, strength in depth and superb footballing business.

We have the advantage of owning and sending Nwaneri to Strasbourg if we want to, and flipping him for £50m in two years,
Are you not already sick and tired of the overbooking in wing positions

Can you name any wingers at Liverpool the EPL Champions aside Salah and Diaz

It's this wingers overbooking feewlishness that Emenalo used to do back then that made us chase away Salah and KDB

Not to mention puts the manager in a tactical hamstring of having to practically play 4-2-4 to accommodate all the wingers while one of the key components of that 2 in midfield is not fit for purpose to carry the workload

I am looking for how to sell Madueke AND Pedro Neto (as well as Nkunku, Sterling, Felix, Mudryk and Carney) WITHOUT ANY FURTHER ADDITION of wingers and we will still be good and overstocked with Gittens. Joao Pedro, Palmer, Estevao and Tyrique

That's 5 wingers for 2 positions, people still dey mention Kudus and Nnwaneri. Utter madness

That is because most people here are only loyal to their agenda.

Enzo was once terrible, he frustrated me and even nearly made me break my TV. While I criticized him aggressively, I have come to realize that there has been massive improvement. This was exactly why I stopped criticizing Jorginho.

An unbiased mind will see that he now runs more which is very evident in the number of times he opens up to receive passes even in tight corners as well as arrive late in the box.

Palmer was the one who made our midfield struggle badly yesterday. A number of times I saw him fail to follow his man during a press. I didn’t spot Enzo loose guard his man for once. He only struggles a bit during transitions. I salute Santos’ peak physical performance yesterday for mitigating the situation. He proved himself physically but Enzo’s technicality helped get us out of dangerous areas.

I will continue watching Enzo with an open mind because I simply wish all our players well and no criticism from me is personal.

Enzo in this current form will start an almost every top team in the world so it is not really a Maresca thing anymore.
Only a feeeleesh person will see sense in this post

I have no problem in acknowledging players improvement, however I don't waste.time looking to squeeze blood from stone

Enzo.will never be fast enough to play CM effectively in EPL

If it didn't dey, it didn't dey

Same reason I would never acknowledge anything in Jogginghoe because he does not and will never have the tools and is a systematic weakness who will always be a systematic weakness

Looking for any improvement in Enzo is accepting to carry weakness in Chelsea midfield for ever

Enzo will never be quick enough, end of story

Even yesterday he was absent or late to many situations. Anyone who couldn't see it is a big feeeewl

Joao Pedro played 95% of his games for Watford on the wing. Not impressed.

We need a specialist LW and a striker.

We have the best goalie in Ligue 1 returning, the best midfielder in Ligue 1 last year outside PSG returning, and a potential generational talent AM/RW joining up. Alongside Mamadou Sarr, whom I happen to rate higher than Dean Huijsen at CB.

Na striker and LW remain and we have to get it right. Joao Pedro is not a bad player but he isn't a needle mover and his numbers are average.
