So.....he should leave the top clubs and go to the low clubs just to prove a point? Even if they cannot pay his wages? Ronaldo has played for Man U, Madrid and noe Juventus, all top clubs in their leagues and people say that he has achieved a lot in three countries but let us bring down Pep for coaching the top clubs? So wait, if Man City comes and West Ham also makes a less favourable bid(from a financial perspective) he should run to West Ham just so he can prove himself? Will you feed his family for him?

For effect, the season before Pep came to Barca we finished fourth, and that was on the last day that we even managed to secure that fourth place, Pep came and instead of spending he promoted Barca B players( I literally wanted to tear off my hat the day I heard Masch, one of the best DMFs then from the EPL was going to be playing as a CB just so Busquets can get minutes with Toure). How much did Pep spend in his first season? Yet he won a treble, his core players all through the years were not bought

please don't forget that two seasons earlier Barcelona were European and laliga champions, they didn't become shit overnight, did they? And I think only Busquet was promoted from the youth team he inherited a chunk of the guys used. Please correct me if I'm wrong

edi287:
Sorry I meant Liverpool.
Kai now I see what my friend meant when he said Pep is starting to get majorly hyped.
Sterling was never a "headless chicken". If you think I'm lying - go watch his games for England at the 2014 WC. That was what convinced him he wasn't the typical overrated British player.
As for Sane - seriously?? What is Sane doing now that we didn't expect him to when he got to this stage? The same Sane most big clubs were after? The same Sane that was scoring for Schalke against Madrid in the ucl?
Pep is a good coach but he isn't God. You guys need to stop acting like he's turned a Pius Ikedia to Figo or something.
In his City stint so far - Money has played more of a big role in his success. If he doesn't win the league this season - his record will be similar to that of Pellegrini(he got city to the Semi Finals of the ucl)...that's crazy considering the money he has spent.

thank you for this post

tbaba1234:
Which Nigerian player made the best transfer move?

our captain, JMO

Mickael2:
Zinchenko and Diaz. I can name others, in fact I can name at least five academy players from each club he has handled who performed very well due to his influence

oh I see, didn't know they are regulars and not some stopgap footballers during injury crisis or some meaningless cup games

Marjoribanks:
Siasia has what is called myboyssyndrome. It was at the 2008 Olympics that I became suspicious of this Siasia guy. Isaac Promise was useless in that tournament, yet he started him ahead of an inform Anichebe and even gave him the captain band. This silly Promise guy went ahead to miss an open goal in the final against Argentina. Also, when he was Eagles coach, Solomon Okoronkwo was the Ezenwa then. Despite the guy not taking numerous opportunity given to him, he is always the first name on the list. Until he flopped in the friendly against Argentina in Malaysia before he was forced to drop him.
Siasia is worse than Keshi in terms of selection fraud.

like Kog45 said, it's synonymous to all coaches even at club level an easy example is Neur at the last world cup he doesn't even deserve to go talk less of starting games. So I don't really see it as fraud tho I think it's not good enough but Siaone shouldn't be criticized for that

Starboytwo:
Guardiola people are wahray people na
Why don't I see eto's comment or Ibrahimovic or gotze or yaya etc.... Only all these cosmetic ones.... I would say anything good about my coach anyway in an interview.. Don't you think .... Abi make I say my coach dey mad and I dey expect jersey for next match ....

I'm surprised how he's managed to fool the football fraternity, since he joined City I can't name one academy player he's turned to a great player all the players he's used are already stars going for huge amount, he's good tho but he's no super manager hence I call him Fraudiola

TheGoodJoe:
Mourinho bought Pogba for a lot of money and could not do jack with him. Are you saying the money will do the developmental work? We have seen players bought with huge sums and flopped. There is a lot of work needed on Frankie De Jong to help him achieve his potential. I can bet he would have improved at a far faster rate under Guardiola than any other coach.

Does that not make Guardiola Special?

just the way Gabriel Jesus is improving

Oro ti owo ba se ti.....
Money answereth all things

TheGoodJoe:
Who was peak? Was Stones a World beater? Was Kyle Walker a World Beater? Laporte never got a national team call-up. Is Mendy the one that should guarantee a trophy?

There was a steady increase in the quality of every player. They all improved. Otamendi went from a defensive lynch pin to one of the best passing defenders around. Stones improved drastically. Sterling had people asking if he was the same player bought.

You can not buy such improvements with money.

all these players are 50 something million players you think any arsenal player can go for that price? Bros they were all world class before Fraudiola bought them, why can't he turn to the EDS and make those ones world class

TheGoodJoe:
Klopp is marching towards greatness. He might not have trophies but he has done an almost impossible job. Keep in mind he has used two different teams to play the Champions league finals. There is a bit of luck that go into this thing. However, the teams play on ground is the evidence of how good a coach is.

Apart from Mourinho, how many conservative coaches are celebrated over the likes of Pep Guardiola, Ancelotti, Capello, Cruyff, Sacchi etc.

Capello is a conservative coach, the one I see for Juve and England o

TheGoodJoe:
Both considered World Class coaches but who is more respected and who has built more formidable sides in the long run? There lies your answer.


Finito.

bros because you are Pep disciple doesn't mean Mou isn't highly rated, some people believe Mou is a better coach than Pep it's not cast in stone as you've said it. This one you are even saying long term short term, Simeone is the king of conservatism and he's been Athletico's coach for well over 5years more than 'your long term' Pep have ever spent with any club and Athletico are reaping the gains. Diego could end up spending 10,15 or even 20 years if he likes

Mickael2:
Is it that none of you understood the reference I made to Uzoho? Come on people

I later understood your post

Humility017:
another potential super eagle player in the bag...
I trust rohr to give the dude a call up soon...considering rohr love for Bordeaux

and we are in dire need of a real striker, enough of all these blunt strikers we have been parading

Mickael2:
I have actually seen bigger students in their junior secondary.

elyte89:

BascoVanVeli:
I have seen 11 year olds even bigger than him. This is no evidence.

LMAO, you are clowning us right? See ehn no be everything person dey defend

tbaba1234:
There are many overage. And i can bring proof if needed.

There are some young ones as well.

if you have proofs, then I guess that's EOD

Humility017:
oga icons you wanna start to berate me for sayn what you know deep down to be true...

sometimes it annoys me when we keep going in circles...each and everyone of us apportion blames on the government while we ourselves applaud and clap for this folks who always draw us back no thanks to their dishonest means.

how do to know they are all overage? No pictures no proof you just concluded, is it because most of them play professional football already? Do you know thre are lots of 19years olds who are already well known? Please dont jump into conclusion if to don't have something concrete against the boys

BascoVanVeli:
1000% agree

for the first time

Icon4s:
Well, if u guys like don't watch the boys. Or boo them all through.

Just allow me to enjoy the AYC in peace

please when is it starting?

tbaba1234:
Money is a major factor when Nigerian players go to Turkey. Unlike the top leagues, they do not get taxed in Turkey.

With good agents, Awaziem should have been able to get a loan deal to Ligue 1 since he has experience there and did well.

It is even more annoying because the boy had decent offers in the summer and Porto refused to sell only to abandon him on the bench.

it's sad, they should be motivated by success and having a name that will be on everybody's lips even long after they retire

tbaba1234:
Awaziem joins Rizespor on loan till the end of the season.

and I think this traits is in all Naija players either born at home or abroad, another example is that Adarabioyo kid, just sit down for Man City all his aburos don move on finish the agbaya just dey city, no start no sub hardly makes bench as long as money dey enter. Our players need to start doing better o. Na crime to have players in the big clubs?

tbaba1234:
Awaziem joins Rizespor on loan till the end of the season.

ohhhhhh, what is this now o, why are our players not ambitious? If he go championship in England e better pass this yamayama Rizespor

tbaba1234:
Samuel kalu is a legit baller. Beautiful assist


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8hh6me7G2KI

@ 1:58 he should've passed with that beautiful chance he created for himself, fine player but still has lots to learn

Curtisaxel7:
So it's no longer Puel's formation, Leicester's system and quality of players that is making Iheanacho flop, it's now our humble comments.

Na wa oh.

very soon they'll say it's Nigeria's economy and Buhari's presidency

Joebie:
And Tammy scored today. Well that’s no news

Bros please confess, you be Tammy's big uncle abi

Earthquake1:
Dembele is one of the best midfielders in the premier league

He is the best CM in a club like Tottenham, clubs will happily pay 20mil for him

Dembele is injury FC's captain, no top flight club will buy him for 20mill, injury ravaged, slow and no resale value as he's old na only Chinese, American and gulf clubs fit buy am

andrew444:
Typical Nigerian thinking bro

Now tell me how is he above u20 tournament ?

When a far more talented fabregas was playing 2 world youth championship after already breaking into Arsenal first team in the second one which is the World youth championship 2005

Should I also tell you that talented Sergio aguero played 2 world youth championship and already banging goals for ATM first team ?

Naija I hail the way una sabi overhype player pass him age

Fab played only one and not two

Icon4s:
I don't know which of them is Akinjide Idowu who is 22 already. None of those kids look 12. Looks more like 15 years challenge

they won't say anything now o, but if the guy marry next month daggers will be drawn

Curtisaxel7:
Hmm. I don't like to say it but.....that captain looks like a family man. .

that number 8 na bros

Icon4s:
You wey dey throw challenge no sabi answer

The guy in number 20 jersey who be that?

*crying* these old men are U-17? I see Ajagun there

Aina one of the best defender in Serie A
