Griffon:
Now I get it.

Na Nigeria this guy dey mock. E sure me diee

This is Buffon speaking. “ Juventus great Gianluigi Buffon said Cristiano Ronaldo's arrival at the club in 2018 ultimately led to them losing their "DNA of being a team". So you know more than him too. If you refused to see my point how about Buffon. Buffon was just been conscious with words but we all know what he is trying to say.
https://en.as.com/en/2021/12/26/soccer/1640538206_350333.amp.html

So you're hanging on Buffon's word now to crucify Ronaldo?

Are you saying that Ronaldo also lost the DNA of man u togetherness at his first stint and also the DNA of Madrid togetherness too? Abi those 2 clubs no get DNA then?

People will always find something and someone to blame when things no work out. Shey no be the same allegri wet carry dem to back to back finals still thrash talk juventus this season saying they are bunch of average players?

So who should we believe more, player or coach?

TrebleChamp:
Jodera sense plenty for your head, if only dostbin and co can reason like this....

Anytime I see donst.an post on any football matter, I always feel he's just trolling and would always want to be the villain.
If tomorrow Mbappe is the undisputed king in the world and everybody is raving about him, then you'll be surprised to see him hype havertz over mbappe just so that he'll engage people . That's how I see his post really.

hensben:
Sincerely speaking, no i wouldn't have believe. Like you said in your previous post age and new environment is the reason and he can be excused seeing what he has done for the sport, same with cr7. My problem with cr7 is his obsession in still trying to be the top dawg for man u at the detriment of the young players instead of helping them. He should understand that much is not expected from him like before and try to help the young lads.

Thank Goodness you said "MY PROBLEM". So it is just a personal issue you had with Ronaldo and nothing else.
I mean can you teach an old dog a new trick? Esp if the old dog is successful at that trick. The attribute you're saying let Ronaldo stop and change to " your" desire is what really made him who he is. This attitude is what made him win 5 balon dors/world best, consistent highest goalscorer award, league trophies/highest achievement and one of the best (arguably the best rather) in his generation, yet you want him to change? At 30+? Does that sound logical?

I'm just seeing what you and donst.an are spewing here about Ronaldo but time no dey allow me give my thoughts.

You said he doesn't allow youngsters shine. Yet a whole lot of youngsters have shone under him. For every dybala you claim he dimmed, you forgot to name Chiesa. For every benzema you claimed him dimmed, there was Asensio. The famous BBC isn't an acronym for Cristi name if I can remember vividly. And we know what acronyms means in football

hensben:
Even if they ended up not winning it but any observable person know psg owner bought messi so as to boost their chance of winning the ucl.

Boost their chance? Yes
Did they buy him to flop in the league? No.

I want to ask you a question and I need sincere answer please? If they told you that messi will score one league goal in February, would you have believed?
Would you have believed he would struggle in the league by now considering the kind of person he is and the club he's playing for?

Honest answer please!

LostMyZeal:
How come you're both LM10 supporters but somehow you dey maintain social distancing with that kukuruuku dumb"ness

Not distancing myself from messi sha but it's ridiculous to say he's bought just for UCL.
I'm a messi fan and why I admit that it's surprising seeing him score 1 goal in the league by Feb, I also know that league doesn't end in February.
Moreover, anyone saying Messi is bought for UCL is just setting him up for unnecessary drags. What if PSG doesn't win it?

Messi is old and he's allowed to be inconsistent (since he's paid his dues) Same as Ronaldo. Reason why you'll never see me attacking Ronaldo cos he's even exceeding the expectations I had of him

Spy360:
Akara, moi moi, and jollof beans are not the same. But they all have the same core ingredient.

It's not the player but the club that will feel they didn't get exactly what they really wanted.

It's natural.

Cases like Mahrez plenty na. Please note that I am not saying the second choice won't shine or even out shine the first, it happens every day. But until that happens, it remains a second choice.

Lol... No problem.
Make we dey see sha

donstan18:
Arsenal fan.

Lol... Your fallback option??

Oga carry your LLLLLLLss in peace

donstan18:
WAS*

Just collect your LLLL in peace na.

You still wan shakushaku after dem bring you receipts??

hensben:
So you think messi need to use his strength to play a league they already won. Have you seen the gap between them and the rest. Messi was bought for ucl.

This is one of the wackest lines I've ever seen.

50d33q:
Bros you watch Wright play ball
Have seen his highlights he's just there imo
Btw I no fit use JuJu pick rvp

Lol, I no see oo, but his stats at 4yrs of arsenal stay is very impressive. Must have been a very prolific goalscorer.


If you no choose Rvp, then you no suppose choose nasri too na.
Wetin be the difference between rvp and nasri?

Spy360:
They are not the same. But the principles are the same for all forms of human relationships.

That's why when people start selling something they expect their relations to patronise them instead of their competitors. The principles of all human relationships are they same and are all based on emotions, intelligence and psychology.

In relation to our discuss, if we tried to sign a player and spend the entire window chasing that person, if the person doesn't join, whoever we go for as a substitute will feel sour in mouths, because we will still be wondering how it would be if we got the first guy. While that doesn't mean the substitute will never turn good or even better, he remains A SECOND CHOICE. Hence, it's said that quality has no substitute or plan B.

Since you agree they're not the same then it means even the core principles governing both are not the same... So what are we talking about?

In relation to our discuss, who told you the player B will be angry or feeling sad that a top club bought him instead of player A? Person wey go dey thank God say top club don buy am

Do you know how Mahrez was brought to Leicester? Even the plan A player, I don forget who him be, and nobody(not even Leicester) will remember that he was an "other option"

Spy360:
Exactly. That's why you don't just loan anyone as you said before. Because they may just be useless.

We tried to get A Melo, but it didn't work out. That doesn't mean we should just go and pick someone else as if we are using a loan app.

Arthur Melo wasn't seeing shirt in juve, in fact he met most of your criteria for a risky signing yet the board went for him. If they can see Arthur and make a move for him, what stops them from having a plan B, or na only Melo get such short term attribute?

Spy360:
Business is relationship. Many businesses have Relationship Managers.

You know I meant romantic relationship, don't claim sly as if you don't know I'm talking about romantic relationship.
Or are you saying business and romantic relationship is the same?

Spy360:
It's simple.

You have two options, you choose one for a reason, that automatically makes the other less in value no matter how it's viewed.

Imagine a girl wants to choose between you and another guy. She chose him and informs you. That will make you feel bad, so that even if she comes back to you, you will most certainly reject her.

Lol, are you comparing business with relationship??

You think business people care about the bolded??

Spy360:
There are risk, but some are bigger. I'd say we are lucky with Odegaard because Madrid has many replacements. Ordinarily, they will not sell him to us if they feel he is top class quality. We also paid well for him. We had the same thing with Cebalos but refused to sign him.

I am not saying it's impossible, but it's a big risk taking a player not wanted by his club.

Lol.. Reason why I said it's loan not buy.
What we did for ceballos is great cos he helped us plugged in the gap while he was here even tho he was inconsistent, but at least most people here will prefer a ceballos to an elneny or lokonga for a short term loan. And that's my point.

Every window is a risk be it Jan or summer window.

Good morning KingAlabi

How you doing
Are you feeling Ooookayyy?

Silentgroper:
At all .. never heard of it.

Lol...
Any day it's mathematically certified that arsenal will finish above spurs is called St. Totteringham day(just like all these annual celebration like Christmas or Easter ).

That's to tell you the kind of rivalry those two have

50d33q:
Lads
Pick your front 3

Sanchez (lwf) Henry (CF) bergkamp(SS)

Notable mention
Ozil auba pires

Sanchez Henry. RVP


Notable mentions

Pires. Wright
Bergkamp

Spy360:
Quality has no substitute is a philosophy

There are relative substitute that is quality also. Numerous examples abound so I don't know where you got this your philosophical quote from. Except of course you're using it out of context

Spy360:
You are now sounding as if it will be an online loan application from a loan company. Pardon me. Any player his club is willing to release on loan most likely is a big risk unless they just want to fleece us.

You are just talking opinions just to win argument or sort cos I no just understand the bolded from you.
There have been great bargains in January transfer with odegaard recently an example and lingard another example for west ham. All what the club needs to do is to identify good players who aren't too seeing game time at their parent club or unhappy at their parent club then request for loan. That's it.

Which transfer window business isn't a risk I ask?

Mrviktor:
Dem. Say na accidental hand ball

Lol.. What is accidental about this clear handball.
This guy even miscontrolled the ball sef and it was his hand that aided the ball to cool.

If this happened at the opposite end, will they deem it fit not to give a penalty?

England refereeing na rubbish!!

emitope:
Ref na human being too. Dem fit suspend am after the match but una don chop that goal be that. U get.

It's not a matter of suspending ref, Var checked it and still deemed it goal is what is worrying.

I wan see the stupid reason dem wan give for allowing that goal tbh

Silentgroper:
.



The rivalry I don't understand is the one between man.u and Leeds..


Be like Una rivalry with spurs dey intense pass the one with Chelsea

Lol... E better make arsenal sell dash player to Chelsea than to sell that same player for 100m to spurs

Have you heard of St. Totteringhams day?

Silentgroper:
.. chaiii .. I bet your 2nd club is liverpool..

Lol, fortunately for me my family is a football family and we all support different clubs(no two people support one club), so it made me had ideas on most clubs.

Moreover, I loved Torres right from his days at Liverpool

Silentgroper:
Sounds like some immature bullshitt .. All these unreasonable rivalry here and there just pisses me off.

Lol... It pisses you off cos you're faraway from the heat so you won't understand the hotness.

Silentgroper:
Let's play a little game ..

Torrential Torres

Spy360:
You are still sounding as if no effort was made to sign a top striker and a midfielder.

I'm just angry that there's no plan B. Simple.

Are you saying if our plan B is someone like Jovic(on loan) for example it'll be a bad idea?

Spy360:
Are you blaming Arteta for holding out for discipline?

That's funny. I think you're bias

I'm not blaming him for instilling discipline. I think I and blue.ray have come to an agreement on this topic so it'll do no one any good to be opening closed case

Spy360:
How is quality having no plan B is false?

That you have plan B doesn't mean the plan B lacks quality or is inferior to plan A. There's always what is called Contingency plan.

If my plan A is lewy and my plan B is Kane. That I'm going for Kane doesn't mean Kane lacks the quality that can improve the team(if lewy availability is difficult) and that's exactly what I'm saying.

hensben:
Salah was really poor in that game. [b]Mane has been good in this tournament not salah [/b]but as usual agenda must agend.

Salah poor in the game(ystdy) or he's poor in the competition as a whole? Which one you dey??

Lemme know where I wan start from for your case cos it seems you and donst.an loves watching game from sofascore tbh!!


The only agenda being brought here is you and Donstan. Nobody who watched Salah in this year's afcon will say Salah is poor. Like where you dey watch your ball from biko?
