I want to use this opportunity to appreciate Jorge Mendes and Mr Christiano Ronaldo for openly giving Mr Ronaldo up for the most entertaining dragging in recent memory.
In one week, man scored, removed his shirt and was yellow carded only for the goal to be disallowed and now nobody wants to sign him.
Thank you Mr Mendes, Thank you Mr Ronaldo

The cost of maintenance for any car depends on the defective part. On this platform and particularly on the car maintenance thread, I've seen a part for all these Toyota Corolla quoted between 70-75k. I've forgotten the exact part. So it's usually not about the car but the defective part.

I drive a Ford Focus 2009 and it's going 2 years now. Got it from the guy here. So far, I can say that its maintenence has not been that tough. The most important thing is servicing within two or two months plus. The engine sound still seems like when I got it even though I've had a serious accident with it.

Ford makes their cars in such a way that when the car is very sick it literarily cries. For example, after the accident, I was still driving it that evening but by morning, water hard dried because the radiator was affected and I never knew. The engine light was blinking on the screen yet I was just naive about what it meant. And then the car started vibrating - the steering and even the sit, in fact, everything was vibrating and I was forced to stop. Someone had to check for me and then told me I was very lucky that the car didn't develop overheat even when all the water had leaked out. I was shocked.

I thought the car would start jumping from one form of issue to the next after the accident but it never did. Even a bad sound that I've been hearing from the engine (I posted the video here) suddenly stopped without repairs.

From my experience, I'd say Ford is cool. Things don't just spoil unnecessarily so you start spending money you never budgeted.

However, like every other car coming from CA, once you get it, screen and deal with rust issues. They'd most likely be there, especially cars below 2011 or 2012. And that's not a major work because it doesn't affect the engine and once you attend to it very well, that's the end.

Succinctly put, maintenence for me has been normal like every other car. And many times, if you don't find the main Ford part, you'll find something that matches it. I've changed only a few parts though - tyroid, engine mount and engine rubber cover thread to stop oil leakage.

On the issue of a mechanic attending to you, I'd say you shouldn't worry yourself much about that. Even mechanics for other car brands are quacks. Most of them are quacks. So what are we talking about?

My advice: if your car develops a problem, try to first of all understand the issue before going to the mechanic. Ask questions online (thank God for a man like Gazzuzz) and also watch YouTube videos about the problem. Make sure you also scan the car then take your error codes to engine-codes.com. Once you've done all these, any repair with your local mechanic would be a walk over whether the person is a Ford, Toyota, or Mazda mechanic. Don't depend on any mechanic to manually diagnose a problem or unilaterally take a decision on what the actual problem may be. Hear me: majority of them in Nigeria are professional quacks.

I don't know if I've addressed all your concerns.
This is one of the best answers to a question I've ever read since I joined Nairaland. Thank you for this

I know Soler or Gil aren't starters, reason why I said he(Puig) will at least see Olympic squad. Most of the players who started are pure starters in their respective clubs from oyazarbal, to Pedri to Zubimendi to Olmo and so on. But if Puig had seen reasonable minutes last season, at least he'd have been a good option coming off from the bench in that Olympic squad. For him not to be looked at all, esp in his own age grade competition speaks a lot
I can agree with this then.

If he'd seen enough minutes (not saying he would have been a starter last season oo), there's big tendency that Spain wouldn't have taken Carlos Soler. Spain hardly carries overage players to competition historically.

Also, there's also tendency of taking the spot of Bryan Gil, who I know is a winger, but Spain favors having more midfielders to winger.

But the biggest hit will be Carlos Soler due to his overage status


There's no way that Puig will see reasonable minutes last season and wont get into that Olympic squad.
Soler wasn't even a starter, the starters were Merino, Pedri and Zubimendi of Sociedad. I don't think Puig would have benched any of them sha. He would have been with the team but benching these 3, nope.
Actually, Spain since Del Bosque still relied in their wingers but those of kind wingers were magnificent with the ball but some were pacey enough to trouble defenses. Like Pedri.
But I don't think Puig would have benched Pedri or Merino or Zubimendi.

Messi and Puig is entirely different. Puig needs to save his career, even if it's loan. In as much he loves barca, but he needs to know that his career comes first before barca. You can imagine even young Puig( at 22 yrs) couldn't make the cut for the Olympic squad. Even people inferior than him made the squad but he couldn't. If he continues like this and Koeman still deny him minutes, he'll las las be forced to be sold away from barca which is what he is avoiding.

You can't compare that to messi who is/was a keyman, best player and influential to barca team and can decide if he wants to go or stay.

So they're two different contrasting context!
Who are the players inferior to Puig that made Spain's Olympic squad?

Is it not what most people are saying? If he's good, he'll go and come back possibly, and if not, he'll shine elsewhere as dem olmo and others. Let him think of his career first esp if he's always going down the pecking order. Not everyone will be fortunate as xavi
Let him remain, there is nothing better than being at Barca for him. There have been a lot players that left Barca and went down hill

But this was Thanos at birth...he looks nothing like his brother or cousins cos he was born a hybrid
Thanos was an outcast from his own people abi race. He was stronger than normal and more intelligent. He was better than them so he was made an outcast. That's until their population problem started and they destroyed themselves before he went on his population halving journey

Comfort zone in the sense it applied to Puig cannot be viewed same way as it is for Messi. Ruiq Puig needs to leave Barcelona to save his career. Messi clearly did not need such. Messi already have the career anyone in the world football can only dream of. So it is 100% wrong to ever allude that Barcelona was Messi's comfort zone.

For avoidance of doubt, this is the dictionary definition of comfort zone as I inferred it to with regards to Puig' situation.

I dont see how this definition can be used in the same sentence as Messi's 20years meritorious career at Barca.
Puig staying in Barca isn't staying in his comfort zone, did Xavi leave his "comfort zone" when he wasn't being played? Did he leave his "comfort zone" when Barca fans booed him and even blamed Rijkaard for playing him in some matches that Barca performed poorly in? Puig staying in Barca isn't staying in his comfort zone, how many La Masia players have left the club and thrived elsewhere? They are so few, Olmo, Thiago even Garcia left and came back, Fabregas left and came back, Alba left and came back.
Koeman won't be Barca coach for ever and Puig has a strong following unlike Xavi he will still come good. Shaw was basically mistreated by Mourinho and now Shaw is among the best LBs in EPL. Boy's just 22. He will still play and he will play well

It's not even about favoritism, pedri played the most games of any outfield player coming into this new season, most times we tend to forget that as good as he is, this boy's just 18yrs of old and is still in his developmental phase,In the Olympics final I saw few traces of fatigue in him despite him trying his best in the midfield, there's a reason barca didn't want him to even go for it though it was him that agreed, Not that he'll be overworked again at this tender time, breaks down and starts churning out mixed performances leading to harsh criticism
Last season after series of impressive performances, it became clear that our squad was clearly tired out. We don't want such a thing to happen to our midfielders again. It would be terrible

There were plenty law cases flying up and down. It is quite difficult to keep track back then. Besides, if it were Barca that took Neymar to court, it means Neymar made demands that the club disagreed with. Either way, it still boils down to clear mistrust between Neymar's camp and the Barca's camp, being championed by none other than Bartomeu.

Bartomew had us thinking we were the best there is financially. How can we be suffering so much in so short a time. This beggars belief really. It doesn't make sense at all.
The reason for the law suit was a breach of the terms Barca signed with Neymar, Neymar breached the contract and he was expected to be held liable for that. Don't make it like anyone should breach the terms of a contracts and get away with it.
In fact I don't think you understood the case.

I can bring more so you can see that the club was absolutely right to sue Neymar and he would have lost that case. But the club chose an out of court settlement

Barcelona and Neymar had been in court for various issues since he left. It was an acrimonious relationship even before he left. If he had everything he needed in Paris, I wonder why he would be back dragging matter for court. Its because he knew Bartomeu was a dishonest and deceitful. Everything was hoax. Putting smokescreen in front of people eyes.

Neymar didn't see shiit.

He left because he was offered everything a player can dream of at that time.

Had he stayed, he would be leaving now with tears in his eyes like Suarez and Messi.
PSG signed Neymar and promised him money, status and preferential treatment. Neymar was provided with a private jet for whenever he wanted to travel to Brazil while making him one of the 3 highest earning players in Europe.
