He’s talking about Arsenal here

Jodera come and see something

Lol.. He knows the mid table team he's talking about na.. And it can't be arsenal.

How can you as a coach call a team midtable, wen you never win that team since your appointment

It's so sad that our players are now one of the least sought after players.. Can't believe clubs can't come for elneny, Nelson, Bellerin, kolasinac, xhaka and so on..
Even if na small clubs sef.

Mehn, this is so so bad mehn!!

*Here is why selling Willock is a bad idea.*

This is our present squad which is bloated.

Gk-
Leno, Okonkwo (2)

Def-
Bellerin, Chambers, Cedric, Tierney, Taveres, Kolasinac, Holding, White, Gabriel, Mari (10)

Mid-
Xhaka, Partey, Lokonga, Elneny, AMN, Torriera, Willock, Azeez, ESR (9)

Att-
Aubameyang, Lacazette, Nketiah, Balogun, Saka, Pepe, Martinelli, Nelson (

A balance squad should have 3goalies, 8defenders, 7midfielders and 7attackers.

To make our squad balance we need a goalie and an AM. We also need to offload two defenders (a RB and a LB), three midfielders (all CMs), and an attacker.

But we must be keeping our younger players as squad players to improve their value so that it's the older ones that should be leaving.

They are, Bellerin or Cedric, Kolasinac, Elneny, Torriera, and AMN. Nelson who is the lowest in pecking order of attackers could be sent on loan after a contract extension otherwise he should be sold.

We have no reason to sell Willock as there are many uselessness that could be offloaded. This is not a time to make profit but to balance the team. This balance will go a long way in preparing the squad for Europe next season (if we qualify and we should) and also improve the value of our younger players before finally offloading those that do not meet the objective whenever they turn 24 (eg AMN)

All what you said would have been legit if only we can easily move on the older players. But then reversal is the case here and we need money to fund our purchase.
Now that we have the opportunity to sell Willock for good amount, let's do it. After all, we hope some guys from the academy can take over Willock spot 1-2 yrs to come (like Omari Hutchinson).
Now it's just necessity making us selling Willock and getting that appropriate Am we want, while Willock goes and see more first team shirt at Newcastle. Everyone goes home happy.

Messi to Arsenal is a done deal already

No doubt am. As a man thinketh in his heart, so is he ...(abi wetin be that famous memory verse )

Lol... Na d famous verse be that

Sha na only think we go thinketh... And na there e go end

TheLequte:
Why constructive criticism dey pain Pep? Doesn’t that mean he’s a fraud?

Lol... That wan fit pain anybody na mk we no lie

It just got me thinking how a great business one in a life time opportunity or investment presents itself at a cheap price, but even the cheap price dey expensive for you

Sapa really hold our club oo...
Messi dey available, see as most fans dey hope their club can sign him...
We just dey, dey look from window

kokaneprodigy:
I miss the good old Arsenal, that’s the Arsenal I want to see, not this drab that can’t string passes.

Someone will soon justify the additions at the back with “defence wins you league”

Please, let us don't go back to this bolded abeg

I miss that arsenal sha.
Na long walk to reach that height again oo

TheLequte:
No lies in what the agent said tbh. Don’t know why e dey pain Pep.

Bwahahaha

If na you, e no go pain you??

raumdeuter:
Yayas agent told Pep that his grandmother could have achieved all Pep did

Is that not disrespectful? Do you expect a coach to play someone whose agent told him that his grandma can achieve what he did?

Well, I missed all those stories then..
Yaya's Silence didn't help his case.

But it's all good, I've accepted why he was ostracized

raumdeuter:
There you go

Pep was appointed in January 2016.

Alright..
This is valid enough

raumdeuter:
Show me where Pogbas agent has insulted any Man utd coach before

All to OGS

kokaneprodigy:
I heard from the grapevine that you gayners are piling defenders upon defenders


Good old Arsenal

Lol... Good old arsenal does not pile defenders upon defenders.

raumdeuter:
Do you think a coach should continue playing a player whose agent publicly insults him?

Is it only Yaya who deserves respec but not the coach who gets insulted

Lol... On numerous occasions, Pogbas agent have thrown snide remarks at man u, yet pogba wasn't benched when fully fit how much more frozen out of the team.

raumdeuter:
This was Rooney whose agent did not insult the coach complaining of being left out but you expect Pep to continue playing Yaya whose agent regularly insults him?

Can you show me prove where Yaya's agent insulted Pep when he pep was appointed as a man city coach? I'm talking about when he was appointed newly into the season (just before yaya toure's freezing out)

raumdeuter:
Do you think these were lies

He told him to look for a club (if he wants to see first team shirt).
He didn't freeze him out from the squad.

Abi, we get different definition of "freezing out" wey we both understand?

He played 25 Pl games in his last season at man u, started 15. Right from start of the season till the end.
I don't know how that's called "freezing" out of a player if you ask me

raumdeuter:
So do you think Rooney was lying here

Obviously, facts and evidences proved Rooney was lying

airmark:
That's what Dayo does.



Rest and enjoy your L.

Lol... E no fit surprise us again?

raumdeuter:
What was the reason valid for Hart but not valid enough for Yaya

And Rooney was left out by Mourinho too or Rooney was not a legend?

This was Rooney in his "frozen" out season.
He started 15 and substituted in 10 times. (That's the first pix)
The 2nd pix is to show almost the end of season, he wasn't frozen out from the squad, But was either coming from the bench or starting. Anytime he wasn't part of the squad, he was injured

Please where's this "Frozen out" coming up from?

Mind you that's his final season (2016/17)

airmark:
You thought Dayo and his boys didn't understand all these before asking that ridiculous question?

Lol.. I know na.
Maybe Dayo thought that I don't know Kompany had a very serious injury that ruled him out when he was not included in the squad

afrodoc2:
Why are you falling hand? This is the effect of trying to win an argument by force.

Can you tell us Yaya’s age and the ages of the others?

You want Pep to freeze out a 28yr old prime Aguero because a 34yr old Yaya with greatly reduced work rate was being frozen out?

I'm not even trying to win an argument.

If Yaya was benched and given cameo roles It wouldn't have been brought up. But he was frozen out. You don't freeze out a player without a reason just because of age.
Mind you, yaya wen he was reinstated he played matches, so he still had it in him.

Silva, Kompany and Aguero at 32+ wasn't frozen out of the team cos of age, why then was Yaya frozen out?

raumdeuter:
Pep froze out Joe Hart immediately he came in because he did not fit into his plans. Mourinho froze out Schweinsteiger and even Rooney
Why did Rooney, Schweinsteiger Hart agent not go around to insult him?

Yet you are here talking about disrespect when an agent is insulting the coach

Lol... You're just clutching at straws to be honest.
Mou didn't freeze Rooney immediately he stepped into man u(did he even freeze him out or he benched him?), also Schweinsteiger wasn't a legend at Man u

Hart was just relegated but not frozen out, and a valid reason was given also

raumdeuter:
Yaya's agent insulted Pep and the coach demanded an apology which he refused to give, when he apologized he was allowed back into the squad

What is hard to understand about that? Is it respectful for Yayas agent to insult the coach or respect must only go to the player. Yaya was given a reason why he was frozen and was told that until his camp apologizes to the coach he wont get back

Yaya Toure's agent did wrong, that I agree.
But did insult came weeks after the freezing out or not?

BlueRayDick:
I hope this is true, it's high time we start selling before the season begins Jàre

I hope this comes to pass and I hope the money go dey very okayy sha

Spy360:
AM can easily play as inverted wingers. With limited game time, he should master it because it's him Vs Maddison if the latter arrives.

True sha..
Fair enough

raumdeuter:
He was not registered for CL group stages while Kompany was not registered for the entire competition at all that same season. Yet you are saying Kompany was treated with respect but not Yaya

In Peps first season Yaya played almost 2,000 minutes in the league. A coach trains players and decide which ones are fit for his plans but when its Yaya its disrespect

When Pep came and favoured Jesus over Aguero and later Aguero improved him game to what Pep wanted, he got into the team but Yaya at 36yrs was not selected into the team becomes disrespect

Kompany was injured while Yaya was frozen? Why is that hard to understand

For the Aguero part, a valid reason was given, which Aguero had to do to win his place back and he did. That's fair enough, plus, he wasn't frozen out of the team.

Yaya was frozen out of the team and still wasn't given a reason. That's disrespectful of Yaya for his legendary status

iamoyindamola:
Hold on how was he treated
They should worship him or what, is he not collecting salary?
Did he do more than kompany, aguero or silva?

Top players should just be contended with the bolded abi?

He was on par with Silva, Aguero and Kompany yet he was frozen why the trio wasn't

Havertz10:
meaning? That my stance on religion is illogical, I have to believe in an imaginary sugar daddy in the sky to be measured as logical by you because it will meet the threshold for what you consider to be logical, what you value as excellence isn't what I consider as excellence, people have standards, some people are too dumb to understand complex, abstract concepts, others eat big picture issues for breakfast, that you can't understand me is testament to the fact that your reasoning is beneath me, you are counting in 10s, i'm thinking in exponentials

Lol... I didn't say the bolded.
What I'm saying is that, if you don't believe in something, fine.. But don't say because others believe in religion or a certain God means those who hold such belief are illogical, stupid or lack reasoning.

In essence what I'm saying is that as long as our belief don't hurt you(or your ilks), live and let's live

raumdeuter:
How exactly was he treated disrespectfully? Is it that his salary was not paid on time, his jersey number was taken or Pep did not wash his jersey. What exactly constituted disrespect to Yaya that was not done to Aguero Kompany and Silva

He wasn't registered for their champions league campaign (during the group stage match), for no good reasons, plus he was frozen out from the squad for their league matches. All without viable reason or explanations.
It was pressure from media that made him reinstate him back.

That was disrespectful for a supposed club legend to just freeze him out of the squad (without any reason, training laziness or sort)

Spy360:
He is a good player. But then we have Saka, ESR and Pepe. Asensio will just be a big luxury.

I won't say luxury if he can bring quality
If we can get rid of Willian, the asensio will be a good squad depth(with possible fight for first team).

And let ESR stick to AM abeg, this one we're always attaching him to wingers

Yaya toure that threatened city cos they didn't celebrate his birthday, now he suddenly is a saint

Yaya Toure birthday cake incident at Manchester City
Having been crowned Premier League champions for the second time on May 11, 2014, Manchester City were too busy celebrating the success of their title triumph to remember to get Yaya Toure a cake for his birthday two days later. The Yaya Toure birthday cake incident blew up to a proportion where the Ivorian wanted an exit from the Etihad. Toure later played down the incident but admitted that the ignorance of not sending him a celebratory birthday cake left him 'damaged' with a lasting effect on his daily life.


https://www.republicworld.com/sports-news/football-news/tbt-yaya-toures-bday-cake-incident-at-man-city-caused-controversy.html

Lol..... So because of this, he should be treated disrespectfully shey? Even when it's claimed that he's resolved it with their president. Not saying he's a saint, but really? This is what you could bring up...

Come on... You can do better na

Havertz10:
I wouldn't be drawn into another juju argument but una dey annoying sha, see reasoning

Yaya toure issue with pep began at barca

Did I deny that his issue with Pep didn't start with barca?
We're talking about how he was disrespected at Man city (where he was a legend) and not barca were he had no ground.

By the way, You don't believe in juju, so any reasoning pertaining it will be illogical to you.
Now you and Sod09 are on the same reasoning cos both of you don't believe in juju and he(Sod09) is logical.
But when religious matter come, anything Sod09 will talk about his religion will look illogical to you...
So you get the drift abi?
