Gnabry wasn’t given a chance at the epl but here you are branding him a failure ,if we call hazard failure you go begin defend am

Gnabry that didn’t play up to 500 minutes for arsenal and just 12 minutes at west brom as a player under 20 but he is a failure

Na this thing dey always make me laugh. Same way they branded Salah and De Bruyne a failure yet see them dominating EPL and PFAs.

If Man city buy gnabry tomorrow now, we'll start hearing from same mouths how Pep always buys world class players.

Spy360:
Saka played that LW almost alone all through last season. This led to serious fatigue and fear of injury. All these because Pepe refused to acquire sense. With Raphinha we can allow Saka take some break and it will be refreshing see any of the two for every game they play.

I tell you, if Raphinha come our Lw will be doubly excellent without running Saka to the ground.

Like iam.oyindamola adviced, make we dash this people Nelson plus some money. I don't know why arsenal no dey ever run transaction like that. No be say oil sheikh dey bankroll us sef

50d33q:
Wait na he already made the transfer which you didn't see coming
The next phase is for him to shine or not

Lol, na the next phase be the Koko and naim our L flinging dey centred on, not just necessarily moving to a big club.

So just hold your L wey you wan give me first while I hold my own wey I wan give you. By end of season, we go see which name go get L prefix

50d33q:
Leave am
Btw, haller just signed for Dortmund for 35m
L for Lodera

Lol... Wahala!!!

Congrats to him but why u no wan just chillax first weda Haller go shine or not before flinging this L.

mostob:
Na the name Dem give am be that.. though not sure if it's truly David.
And yes Pablo resemble Tbag

Heard they normally call him Croydon De Bruyne. Just surprised I'm seeing David that's why

50d33q:

Maybe martinelli and ESR

Aside Saka, we've only two wingers in Martinelli and ESR (if you'd include him as one). Getting Raphinha is never a waste of money at all and we need all the depth we can have.

People keep forgetting that a good strong depth is very important for a long season having Europa commitments plus Pepe na scam. They should just loan or sell that one make we see road small cos na him dey cause all these things like say we get plenty wingers

mostob:

ESR - David De Croydon
Saka - little chilly
Tierney - Tesco
And now....
Ladies and gentlemen..meet Pablo Vieira a.k.a. T-bag

Lol, the guy resemble T-bag small sha

Wetin concern David concern Smith Rowe?

50d33q:
Apart from saka which wingers we get

E be like say him dey count Pepe join

Spy360:
I was indeed joking.

Boss, na lie joor, you dey serious

Anyways your sins are forgiven, go and sin no more

popizaino:
I was hypnotised by Tuchel's abracadabra to win the UCL jare. The man no fit bobo me again until i start seeing urgency in our game play.

daveP:
Looks like the Osimhen deal is looking distant. Only hope is they are treading the path of secrecy like on Vieira's deal. I do hope. We need him. Abi na January dem dey wait for?
Suspecting they may want to get some World cup revelations in January too.

I believe we're getting Jesus sha, and if we do then no Osimhen.

I'm just patiently waiting for any goodnews sha. If na secrecy dem wan take run am, no problem

50d33q:
Really?
No other players is better than xhaka

Elneny, guendouzi, Sambi?

Aside ceballos which I would have preferred to start alongside Torreira but it didn't happen. Who would have been better than him.

First it was Torreira-xhaka pair
Then it was ceballos-xhaka pair
Then it was Partey -xhaka pair

All we wanted was an upgrade to Xhaka. Now that we've gotten one presumably, why should we still continue with Xhaka?

Iamoyindamola drag them wella like Gen

Trevor012:
Please who knows what he means

Popizaino, abeg come explain am for us again

50d33q:
No be una talk say xhaka is untouchable
Moreover viera is slow unless arteta will use double 10 and free partey to do his blocking by himself

Lol... That's because nobody have proven to be better than him so far na. Now wey Viera dey potentially better than Xhaka and can improve the team, why then should Odegaard (our 2nd overall best Midfielder) be the one to make way?

Roland17:
Fela call am Beast of No Nation, Egbe ke Gbe!

Na we dey drag dem now. Make dem update their server, Windows don get 11 since 2021..

Lol, na update we go help dem dey update their server dey go

Now goals and assist don dey dey obsolete small small

50d33q:
Now that we got viera I think he will compete with odegaard in AM and ESR will move to lwf with martinelli full time
Or
He will fight for his place with martinelli and ESR and odegaard still do the normal swap

What's the date of marquious ABI na mannequin
That boy looks older than 19 sha
His face look older than mine

Why can't Viera replace Xhaka as the other free 8. Why must it be Odegaard?

Roland17:
Does that make the stat irrelevant? So those stats get deleted because they did not achieve a winning result? Is every stat from Messi/ CR7 from winning efforts?

Like I don't get oo.

Henry didn't play the first leg were they lost 4-1, but the 2nd leg in which he started. He scored and Monaco won 3-2 that same night.


I no come dey understand this their beasting definition and characteristics again

raumdeuter:
Scored in DEFEAT. Defeat is key

Lol... So scoring and assisting even get comma.

You'll need to update your rules in Chelsea thread sha

raumdeuter:
How many games did RvN play and how many did Henry play

Where are you driving at?

Roland17:
You no see where I trap am up there by his own metrics oh!

Lol.. I just dey wait how him wan take wriggle comot from that trap wey you put am so

Him go update the metric again, maybe this time Henry came from bench that season

Roland17:
Raul? Yes, absolutely yes but no one is picking RVN ahead of Henry in their respective primes..

I'm not even talking about picking Rvn over Henry. I'm talking about the overall top scorer chart in which Rvn tops Henry with 6 goals more. Raul and Rvn were just his only peers who topped him in that chart

raumdeuter:
he played more games than most

He scored 50 goals in 112 games. Scoring an average of 1 goal every 2 matches in a competition that produces stingy goalscorers is never a bad feat at all

raumdeuter:
If you choke opportunities for your team to win

This wan na the updated version be that, cos you always explicitly told us that to beast a final, you must have goals and/or assists

raumdeuter:
Raul and Nistelrooy played in his time and scored more goals per game

That's same thing I said na. Only those two.

My question is, was only those two the only top strikers during his time?

raumdeuter:
Benzema will be said t choke the final if he missed two 1v1 chances in the final like Henry

No longer goals and assists again?

New metric guys; you must be said to choke in UCL if you miss 1 Vs 1. It doesn't matter whether you have a goal or assist in that same match

Roland17:
But! but!! Na local champion, we go drag am!

Man left the Europe and UCL nearly 14 years ago and is still top 10 in 2022 ahead of Neymar/ Salah/ Aguero/ Ibra who are all still active.

Lol... Na why I wan break that myth wey dayo been bring say scoring 5 goals in season is poor and 50goals overall in 13 seasons is very poor. People looking at it from sidelines might gullibly believe not knowing that UCL goals during his time no dey easy.

Coupled with the fact that he hardly reaches the last 4 in that competition regularly compared to the great strikers of that time and you'll know that he's not a local champion.

In fact, his peers who top him In the overall highest goalscorer chart are only two (Raul and Rvn) and they play more games than him.


But but.... Henry is a local champion because he missed one on one against Barca

raumdeuter:
Actually its less than 5 CL goals per season because Henry has 50 CL goals but played 13 seasons. Do the Maths

in a competition where the highest goalscorer in season averages 8-9 goals during his time, he scoring averagely 4-5 goals per season is still great

There's a reason he is in top 10 highest goalscorer with up to 50goals when he just reached 2 UCL finals and barely makes the last 4.

There's a reason top Striker like crespo, shevchenko, Owen trezeguet, et al aren't above him despite probably playing more UCL games than him

Roland17:
Yes oh! as long as you score and assist for finals, you are untouchable!

Henry achieved the same "beasting" metric with the perfect FK for the assist for our goal in that same final but since it is not a convenient narrative, we must redefine "Beasting".

You see how he dribbled from Henry being behind Zidane despite admitting Henry Dominated the competition. From there he danced to goal ratio, then playing 13 years since 1998 as a 20 year old.. No be today I begin debate Dayo.

I always say it, hate him or like him, Dayo is one hell of an intelligent guy and If you allow him, he would deceive you to believe his gospel and many will carry that gospel to go argue outside and dem go chop am.

Henry na local champion, we go drag am but he has all these records in UCL and for France.

Lol.. I know Dayo, na why from experience I dey tackle am jejely. Boss dey very very intelligence sotey one fit even dey doubt himself


You see that bolded, na the Koko dayo slogan be that. Now Henry assists for the final doesn't matter, na the 1 on 1 wey him miss na im matter

Another amala turning

Dayo said Henry manages 5 goals per season in UCL.

Someone who will look at that would think it's a poor record forgetting that it's prime Messi and Ronaldo that made UCL goals high to another levels.

Between 2002/03 highest to 2008/09, highest goalscorer was 12, 8, 7, 9, 10, 8.

Now judge for yourself, if highest goalscorers then is putting such figures, how will someone who scored averagely 5-6 goals a season be a bad scorer?

50d33q:
Lmao so you wan use this metric but when haller was in top 5 scorer in UCL last season he's still not good enough
If na to turn amala I they too

Luiz Adriano of shaktar donesk scored 9 goals in group stage around 2015 or so if I remember vividly, yet he isn't good enough.

My point: we no dey look one season wonders.

Roland17:
One thing I have learned over the years in debating Dayo is that his positions are very much about convenient narratives and when you consider he is one hell of a smart man, u can see how he sells rock as gold to many He has succeeded in defining the metrics and the path debates must follow on topics he holds strong views about.

We are talking of someone who left European football in the year he turned 31 but is still ranked top 10 ahead of Neymar/Ibra/Salah and others who continued or are still at it 14 years later.

He's so good at it that people buys it easily. Now according to his metrics all you need to do is sleep your way through the group stage and knock out then wait for the finals to "beast it"

That's what matters. That's what great players like them Messi, Ronaldo, cryuff, Zidane et al are known for I believe
