Doing well compared to Nigeria but not doing well compared to private sector in the US

Ask any American who has had to call the IRS, visit Drivers license office or visit Social Security office and tell their experience. Its always vastly different from the private sector

Cheap wages = poor services.

Roland17 Biden is enjoying a bounce and might turn the Democrats fortune in November. Though I am not in support of the student loan forgiveness thing

Also I am happy about the Trump investigation, I am happy with anything that will take him out of the running for 2024

Republicans don’t have anyone as popular as Trump. If he doesn’t run, Biden gets another 4 years.

There’s a reason they are trying to hang an indictment on his neck. It is because they fear him. Over 99% of the candidates Trump has endorsed have won their tickets.

His rallies are still packed to the brim. You should also not forget this guy amassed around 75m votes in the last election(beating the much loved Obama’s numbers).

I think Trump should run again.

Chelsea sign Fofana for £75m.

English clubs launder money for Colombian drug lords.

Nobody can convince me otherwise.

ovoP:
he is injury prone, why will united do that? Tottenham needed a RB and dey didn't sign him, besides Brighton will tell you to bring 50m

If the topic is about injury prone, United wouldn’t have signed Rafael Varane.

MRTA7:
I'd rather keep AWB than sign Dest. Dest is like a worse version of Dalot.

There’s one boy in Brighton, Tariq Lamptey.

I don’t know how United aren’t all over that boy. He’s too good to be playing for Brighton.

Dest is not better than Wan-Bissaka although he can play as RB or LB.

raumdeuter:
The defender did not jump and Ronaldo likely had a better leap power.

So apples and oranges

The defender jumped. Watch the video, not my picture. Ronaldo timed the header perfectly and jumped a second earlier than the defender.

raumdeuter:
Lewandowski is 34. Yet Barcelona spent 50m on him
Barcelona signed Aubameyang and released him after 6months because your present if more important than your future.

Ignoring your present and focusing on your future you might never see? Where have I seen that before.

Yeah Monsieur Wenger. Stacking up hyped teenagers. I remember when a poster on NL called duduspace used to brag about how glorious the future of Arsenal would be when these players mature.
Fabregas Diaby Walcott Gibbs Wilshere Ramsey dem dem
All of those players retired, sent Wenger to retirement in disgrace. Arsenal is still useless

I remember too well how Arsenal fans used to brag about their future circa 2008. The age group of their players from Almunia to Adebayor was between 19-23.

They couldn’t even keep those players for more than 3 years. Clichy, Nasri, Adebayor all went to City. The mediocre ones were kicked out of the club for better talents.

Some people don’t learn from history. Rooney and Ronaldo were 23 in 2008. Tevez was 24. Fans were ecstatic that United would have them for 10 years straight and win everything. By the summer of 2009, two players in that trio left the club for greener pastures.

patrickmuf:
But no top team can bully City thanks to their finances which we too have and also their competitiveness on the pitch which we cannot offer...

I don't think I can remember Madrid or Barca bullying City or PSG...City will keep Haaland unless he refuses to sign a new deal and decides to leave...

Haaland would love at some point but I am saying I can bet it wouldn’t be directly into a PL team.

It would be PSG, Juventus, Bayern, Madrid/Barca.

YeahYeah001:
I hate the Glaziers. But they'll always try everything if they see they have a chance to sign a big name.

I believe so many other clubs would have been interested but would be put off by the release clause. It'd have been so painful to sign him and have him walk just like that to I believe, Chelsea. Without a release clause, even if he says he wants to leave, we can decide to only sell him to Spain. Dortmund didn't care about that because they don't care about selling him to Bayern. Even though there was a risk Bayern would activate the clause.

Can we bet right now that if Haaland leaves City, he will never join any other PL club?

Joezinho:
Aburo, we are Tinubu’s urchin.

Na the #30k when Tinubu give us we take dey manage life.

According to Obidients.

Only Obi has organic support. All the millions of people who prefer ABAT have been paid #30K each.

Imagine how rich Tinubu is to have paid every supporter #30K.

Karleb:
When money talks, bullshit will keep shut.

Offer Haaland that salary and he will play Conference league.

Anthony was crying to leave a UCL team and current champion of Dutch league to come play at united where he might not win anything for the next 3 years.

Pogba, Zlatan, Mkhitaryan forfeited CL football for Europa.

When United put Ole on a private jet to speak to Haaland, United were in the CL. That was in January 2020 before Erling moved to Dortmund.

YeahYeah001:
Every Laliga player has a release clause. Some ones even have one going to a billion.
Haaland and Riola wouldn't have accepted a high release clause because the plan is to move after a while.

Don’t let the Glazers cover your eyes with wool over release clause. They messed up not signing Haaland.

The same United signed pensioners like Cavani, Ronaldo, Larsson, etc on short term deals and placed them on high wages.

Any deal palatable to City is palatable to United. If City could find a way around Raiola, United should have found a way too.

City are 5 years ahead of us in squad development and this stupid board allowed them to sign Haaland - which will now make United’s title push longer than it should have been.

I would have Haaland for a month over what United currently have.

Joezinho:
Urchin? Is this your best shot? Scream it louder bro. I can’t hear you.

See Joezinho’s Samsung fridge.

This boy is chopping life to the max.

patrickmuf:
.

Will Haaland ask Madrid to insert a buyout clause or will Madrid accept to include one justso they can sign him, I think not...The buyout clause makes it easier for him to leave but it still depends on what the price is and City's ability to compete for top trophies.

The only time we stood a chanceto sign Haaland was when he left for Dortmund as at now, the only way Haaland would have signed for Man Utd is if we decided to make him the highest earning footballer in the world because that's the only thing he can look back on and smile after we struggle each match day. When we start winning and competing for big trophies, we won't have to overpay players...

What if I tell you Vinicius, Asensio and Courtois have release clauses?

Dexyity:
God know i am excited about this transfer than Antony deal.. Anything to replace that Dave keeper is welcome. geez!.. man cannot pass effectively nor organize the defense TF!

De Gea’s woes is mostly because of what is in front of him. Now that the chuckle brothers(Maguire and Shaw) are on the bench, United kept a clean sheet away from home.

The last time United did was sometime in January. Let’s hope Casemiro settles quickly and none of Varane or Licha gets injured, things should improve. De Gea is still a very good goalkeeper.

Karleb:
I will personally take Haaland over Mbappe. That's what I said.

You'd rather not have Haaland at all than have him for just 2 years.

You dey amaze me.

You would understand if the club had prime Lewandowski, Aubameyang or Mbappe.

A club that parades Martial and Rashford as strikers said they don’t want Haaland because 2 years is too short

And they lost him to their city rivals - to add salt to injury. Every goal Haaland scores for City makes it harder for United to win the league.

Raumdeuter, watch this slow motion of Ronaldo header against Sampdoria some years ago.

I still can't believe Cristiano Ronaldo scored this pic.twitter.com/0YBrmo6vQu

— Ball Zone (@TheBallZoneX) November 22, 2021

The defender marking Ronaldo is one inch taller than Cristiano but see the difference in their height when Ronaldo headed the ball.

Ronaldo’s timing was so perfect that by the time he was reaching 90% of the total height he attempted, his marker hadn’t even thought of jumping.

This is why height is hardly relevant. It’s all about positioning and perfect timing. This is the best headed goal in the world. Nothing comes close.

Theflint1:
APC as a government has failed.

Of course, let’s dump personal responsibility on the government. Buhari told these youths to carry arms and be maiming their own people, destroying businesses, reducing the total IGR of the SE region.

SideshowBob:
Mbappe can dribble and create effectively. Can haaland do that? What is if you remove goal scoring and finishing what remains in an attackers body? Does haaland not need other players and attackers to create goalscoring chances for him? Buying haaland to later lose him in two years time via his release clause that can be triggered by anyone also our rivals is all shades of wrong.

Goalscoring got Ronaldo 5 ballon d’Or gongs.

I am wondering what else must a striker do apart from goalscoring. Haaland isn’t a midfielder or a winger. He’s a box player and he’s the best young striker in the world.

Any serious club would have signed him regardless of his release clause. It would have made a statement and i can bet all these anti-Glazer protests would have cooled down a bit.

£51m? Maguire cost £30m more and he’s useless.

Karleb:
Greenwood will never play for united again.

Accept this and be at peace.

He will play. He’s British. They would protect him.

Compare his case to Mendy. Mendy spent how many months in prison while Greenwood gets his bail extended.

The girl would recant her former statement and everything would be brushed under the carpet. I have told you guys the power of a British passport.

This is SE Nigeria.

Yet the indigenes of this state go to Lagos and insult Tinubu, blame him for a cult clash that he had no part in.

Meanwhile, their own states have terrorists marching freely on the streets.

It’s this level of hypocrisy that pisses me the fück off.

ChristoBam:
One thing I'll never do is roll through the mud with you. People like you that are quick to talk about incest while trying to throw insults look at their family members with lust.

Man talking about incest, replacing brains with Akara balls, evil spirits in village, because of a Convo about Haaland and a release clause . Your dirty, depraved, juvenile mind in it's full glory.

Get this through your thick skull. Antony was signed for that amount because they believe he's a talented player. Man has not played a single game for the club but you've called him a flop and whatnot because of a nairaland argument.

At the time we were after Haaland, we believed he was an exceptional talent also. But there's no way in hell, we'd sign him with a release club that can be triggered by any club in England.


This thing is as simple and straightforward as it gets. I don't know why anyone would believe we should do that deal. He's probably be signing for Chelsea/City if we made that deal that year.

But you having to resort to these kinds of insults because you don't agree shows your warped mentality. You're almost moving like you'd get your account credited if you have the last say in any argument here. Reason you're holding on to any angle or throwing childish insults when you've got no point.

My mission on this forum of pathetic brainless souls like yours is to change your mentality and I am doing it for a humanitarian purpose. It infuriates me to the marrow when a lot of money was spent on people like you to be logical and you turned out to have the IQ of a locust bean.

Release clause means nothing. Any player can up and leave at any time. Ronaldo didn’t have any release clause and he’s about to leave. The board should have focused on his talents and what he would bring to the table in those few years with Man Utd.

However, you are a silly Glazer apologist. Every decision they make is fine by you. Someone offered you to buy Louis Vuitton shoes for £2000 but it might become damaged after 2 years. You refused to buy it.

Another guy offered you to buy low quality pair of Nike shoes made in Aba for £4000 and he promised it might last 2 years or more and you jumped at the deal thinking you have struck gold. Are you sure your ancestors haven’t cursed you? This is a low brain power in display.

Fück off…….you aren’t mentally fit to open your mouth in public.

ChristoBam:
Lol I'm just seeing this. You foolishly somehow made this about Antony.

Did you realize you've been speaking trash all these while? Cuz why're you hanging on to Antony's signing as an excuse to the trash you've been spewing for days.

No one can guarantee that any signing would want to stay for years. But that won't stop you from making any quality signings. What we'd never do is sign a 19 year old with a release clause that means he'll definitely be leaving in two years.


You goofed from the very beginning. Talking trash about how Man utd were useless for not signing Haaland even with a release clause. You've realized you've been speaking nonsense and now have to resort to insults and distractions from the main argument.

Man made it about Antony vs Haaland. Jeez. Don't you have any shame?

This fool still doesn’t get it. Your brains have been substituted with akara balls by the evil spirits in your village.

Man Utd refused to proceed with the Haaland deal because he wanted a release clause in his contract and that means he could leave after 2 or x number of years if he wanted to. Haaland was cheap as fück(£51m).

Yet, the same Man Utd suddenly decided to pursue Antony with 10% of Haaland’s talent for €100m and they cannot guarantee he would stay for more than 2 years. How can the same club make this kind of decision when the Haaland deal was loads better?

I am not making this about Antony. I am making this about the board that you are stupidly supporting. The decision is horrendous. It means they are now paying double the price of Haaland for 10% of his talents with the same risks that they avoided with Haaland.

Your name is ChristoBAM so I am already sure your intelligence quotient cannot be more than 10. Products of incest can never process simple logic. United didn’t want Haaland cos he could leave after 2 years and yet they paid double the price for a player that could leave after 2 years.

If you run your father’s company like this, he would curse you from his grave. It doesn’t make any sense. The only reason any club should be paying €100m on a new signing is if he agrees he is not leaving for the next 5 years. Antony betrayed Ajax……refused to train or play and you somehow don’t think he would do the same at United if a bigger club comes in 2024/5?


Christobam, aiye ę ti baję.

Karleb:
I feel the same reason anyone don't want DDG is the same reason they don't want Ronaldo.

These guys were easily our best players last season.

United fans prefer mediocrity. Ole virus has infected all of them.

Even the players don’t want him around anymore because Ronaldo’s standards are too high.

And guess who majority of United fans are siding with?

Expert17:
The last time he played for a relegation candidate, he kept same no of clean sheet as De Gea, won the club player of the season and was nominated for EPL young player of the season.

Even if he relegates Forest, it doesn't matter as Aaron Ramsdale - Arsenal no 1 relegated 3 different clubs.

Sheffield United had better defenders than United that season.

If you put Neuer behind Maguire and Shaw, he would concede 100 goals per season.

Expert17:
That De Gea video is dated the 21st of May, when did we play our last game of the season?

Statistically, Henderson is the best GK in EPL this season, why shouldn't he be proud of saving PK of the best CF in the league? and mind you he was asked about it.

This season of only 4 PL games?

Let’s give the title to Arsenal then. I am talking about a season of 38 PL games and your comparison is a season of 4PL games.

Henderson will relegate Forest. You heard it here first.

agree with you.

When Obi loses, there won’t be excuses that the election was rigged.

It’s near impossible to rig.

Expert17:
Video length is 28 seconds; why didn't you post the full interview.

De Gea was proud of our failure last season.

He didn’t say that immediately after a match where he lost 2 goals.

Statistically, last season was De Gea’s 2nd best season at United. Why shouldn’t he be proud of his effort after a season?

This Henderson that hasn’t won anything of note in his career is happy that he saved Kane’s penalty. His biggest achievement in life is saving Kane’s penalty.

Oasis007:
I hope everyone will listen to it with open mind. There is room for critiquing and criticism as well of course.

There’s no Tinubu fan I know who says Tinubu is a saint. There’s no saint in Nigeria. What we are saying is if we go by each candidate’s CV, Tinubu towers over the others by astronomical miles.

Expert17, see the fraud you love to stan.

He’s happy he saved a penalty from Kane after losing the game 0-2. This is the loser mentality that convinced me this dude isn’t a United level player.

This English mentality of always finding positives from a loss is why the national team can’t win anything. Southgate lost to Italy and he got rewarded with OBE.

patrickmuf:
Well, I know Tinubu will get the best hands on deck but my fear is that in his absence a cabal might just emerge.

I am not praying for him to be sick but realistically, the chances of him giving in to sickness at his age is higher hence my fears...

Same was said about Buhari, only for him to outlive some younger politicians.

larride:
Tinubu supporters are the tribalist, the rest are not.

Radarada

Nigeria was a zoo when OBI was in PDP.

He moved to LP and suddenly, Nigeria is worth fighting for again.

When Obi loses, be prepared to see more Biafra flag on social media.

Gboy1026:
The same way Buhari, is surrounded by experts. Abi u think all these Apc members that we see in Buhari regime, who are the ones to work for Tinubu victory would not be compensated.

Buhari is an old school, ex-military dictator.

He’s not a politician. He was never a leader in a democratic regime until he became a president. There was no precedent in a democratic setting to ascertain his readiness for the job.

Tinubu has plenty of evidence to back him as a former governor of Lagos. Lagos became the best performing state……contributing close to 1/3 of the total IGR in Nigeria.

Tinubu also excelled in structural leadership that has produced brilliant technocrats like Fashola, Ambode and Sanwo-Olu. All these things are open secrets but yet some Nigerians want a young dullard over an old genius.

raumdeuter:
This is one of the beauty of Tinubu project and candidacy. Everyone is given a voice, Even Peter Obi will find the succor in Lagos that he is denied in Anambra

If that was Lagos observing Monday holidays imagine the things that would be said about Tinubu? If it was Tinibu that was governor when he murdered Anambra youths into Ezzu river imagine what would be said

But here we are. Tinubu has given everyone the opportunity and environment in Lagos to demand what we are denied in our states. Including mine in Oyo

Peter Obi and James Nwafor were largely responsible for all the extra judicial killings at Awkuzu police station. It was called the most brutal police station in Africa.

Nigerian youths were killed there on a regular basis with their bodies dumped into a river. You can imagine if that happened in Lagos, all these sons of perdition would be blaming Tinubu for it.

patrickmuf:
I keep saying it, Tinubu, Obi and Atiku have occupied public offices before now so, rather than listen to stories, it's better to take a look back at their time in office and see if what they're saying now is in tandem with what they did when they had the constitutional powers are responsibility to develop their respective states...

For me, Tinubu's age is the only downside to his candidature and that's enough for me not to support him.

Obi is just too deceptive, he plays to the gallery and for me, that's a red flag...Another thing about him is his subtle attempt to divide the country along religious lines...

Atiku is a big No. We can't have another Northerner after 8 years of Buhari, it's not just right...

The 3 front line aspirants for one reason or another are not going to do any better...

Tinubu’s age is irrelevant. Age can only be relevant in dictatorship regimes. Tinubu would be surrounded by experts and scores of special advisers before he makes any single step.

This is a guy that has precedent of surrounding himself with technocrats and a brilliant support group. Every decision he makes would be debated to death. Tinubu will not write a speech himself or quote inaccurate stats like the Philosphy graduate of UNN.

Tinubu is young at heart. He will be fine.
