I don't even get what they are on and about. They prefer to dwell on whataboutism and believe transfer rumours and gossips ahead of the player's own account of the event.

The way Nigerians take stubborn when they set their mind on believing a misinformation ehn. It is well.

I no even get energy to dey convince anybody; I'm just glad we heard the other side of the story and not what they've been parroting around online

Likeeee...

The clip touched some of the questions I really needed answers on

1. Chelsea offering very low wage
2. Suddenly, Conte never wanted him even though I know Conte will do with a player like Osimhen
3. Why will he reject Saudi deal?
4. Was he really undesirable or Napoli made him so.

Thank goodness for this part of the story. No need convincing anybody, at least this story justified most of what we were thinking

EmmanuelScott1:
So Osimhen told Saudis to take 5 million from his salary and pay Napoli, what happened after that?

They literally said it in the videos about how Napoli started talking about Sell on clause and bla bla bla which scuttled the deal.

EmmanuelScott1:
How I go take know this man really speaks with Osimhen without him dropping the evidence.

This is the same way oshoala tweet and delete immediately and she too speak with Osimhen 😆

Guy I rather believe oyibo journalist that has been dropping all transfer in the whole world than believe Naija journalist.

Just look at what those arise people stated, you will clearly see too many caps, omo

So Osimhen offered 5million from his proposed salary to Napoli, what later happened?

Did napoli reject or demanded more? 😆😆😆 Omo Naija lies no get sauce at all

Didn't you hear how Napoli still scuttled the deal?
Abi will Osimhen be the first player to complete his transfer fees from his own pocket?

Gucciboy:
You make it like osimhen can't survive with £155k per week yet Tony was collecting £40k at Brentford?

Wasn't Chelsea cutting down on their wage bill?

How much is Cole Palmer collecting per week?

Didn't Lukaku reduce his wages to join Napoli?

Is Toney and Osimhen the same level?
Haa!!

If you watch that link, you'll find out that the 130k is not really 130k.

And moreover, like I always said, if you know you want to cut wage bill(which I'm not against), why go for Osimhen? Does it make sense?

Chelsea clearly wanted to exploit the situation to give Osimhen paltry net wage and you want him to accept.

Just try watch the link biko (if you haven't)

Leyqute:
E no even reach 63k sef. And his mates were getting way higher at other clubs.

I swear, when I calculate am, na 61,900 e give me

Ahh. That's disrespect oo

EmmanuelScott1:
Wait, is that we don't know what's release clause again, hian

Osimhen and Napoli agreed on 130million release clause, and PSG is offering below it and you want Napoli to accept.

Nawa oo

Please, Did you watch the video or you're replying based on what I typed?

mostob:
I just want EPL this season make we use am hold body. I want to believe the board know something we don't sha... This one Arteta sign another contract.

Make we deh see.
At least, we can't deny the improvements year in year out in every metric since Arteta took over, so that's what the board is looking at(reason why they gave the contract)

They believe he has what to bring that Laurel home. We just need to have same belief and support too

Chelsea desperately needed a striker, e reach Osimhen turn, dem come turn village people

Calculating the net offer Chelsea was meant to pay him after all the whole tax deductions, the 63k base wages that was reported now makes sense and is really true.

Napoli and Chelsea no try for Osimhen sha.

BlueRayDick:
Like Wasiu , like his fans …. person wey play in the World Cup from age 21 to age 37 suddenly doesn’t care about World Cup 😂

When the desirable is not available , the available becomes desirable .

Anyways sha, there’s a lesson in this for everyone. If u don try things and e no work , just turn motivational speaker….. Ur fans will adjust and understand .

Now, this is very very funny

airmark:
It's good to always hear both sides of a story. Osimhen was unfairly treated by Napoli.

https://www.instagram.com/reel/C_jI9HMJN-0/?igsh=MzRlODBiNWFlZA==

This is bad, so so bad.

And they made it seem as if Victor Osimhen was no longer highly desirable again by clubs. Imagine, even PSG offered 110m pounds. Chaiii!!

And that Chelsea move was just very very glaring that Chelsea just wanted to exploit the situation if anyone really followed the details well.

To think we never win trophy o. Make the trophies start coming in first. I wan see something

I swear...
We never see correct trophies and we Don dey get recognition laidis. I deh imagine when we start to get am.

We don really come a long way bro.

Our Lord keeps us alive

Aside from your lack of understanding basic English, If you understand "Set theory" in Mathematics during your secondary school days, you wouldn't be disgracing yourself and your ignorance like this.

Set theory tells you there's a big difference between

only Man City have more players than Arsenal

And

Only Man City have more players than ONLY arsenal.

La cram, la pour merchant

BlueRayDick:
This shows how far we've really come in recent years. I'm glad our players are getting deserved recognition.

May we never experience again the year of the locusts when dem Mustafi, Sokratis, Guendouzi, etc use our eyes see shege

Having most players in PFA and 2nd most players in Balon dor is a very admirable feat.

When it's one or two players nominated, it might be individual quality of the player shining through, but when it more than 3 on both situations, that tells you more on how far a team have come.

I'm so glad for this team and how those dark days of wailing and gnashing of teeth is behind us.

Long may it continue

Na just Correct trophy remain to crown all our efforts.

Basic English, person no understand.
Even when they're trying to break it down for you to understand, he's still claiming strong head.

Keep on wallowing in your ignorance fuelled by agenda. Na you sabi

David Raya is the highest rated goalkeeper in the Premier League so far this season (7.61).

According to whoscored.

Hopefully he wins Arsenal player of the month.
(Between him and Saka tho).

Only Haaland will stopp him from not winning Player of the month.

Class!!

Bukayo Saka
■ William Saliba
■ Martin Odegaard
■ Declan Rice

Only Real Madrid (7) have more players nominated for the Ballon d'Or than Arsenal.(4)

Ijustwantto:
since they are already at training camp, they can't just withdraw like that except for some genuine reasons like packaged injury

Illness no be genuine reason?

mostob:
🚩 Cole Palmer, Phil Foden and Watkins have all withdrawn from the England squad.

Source: Sky Sports

Make Dem excuse Saka and Rice too abeg

I no know why Saka and Rice no wan withdraw oo.

Na even Nations league Dem wan play

Jamiuokolaa:
I am not disputing the fact that there are tactical gaps that need to be closed by the manager. However, we still cannot dispute the fact that a midfield controller needs to be press-resistant..

We keep on talking about Mainoo's age while we deliberately ignore the fact that he is a senior player with the 3 Lions already. I am not sure he would be in the team if he was synonymous with getting dispossessed every now and then thereby gifting the opposition with Goal scoring opportunities. He cannot be praised for being more mature than his age, then when he makes mistakes that should be pointed out and corrected to further aid and fastrack his development, we remember he is only 19 years old.

Like I said earlier, his decision making in scenarios like that would determine wether he would be compared to the likes of Xavi, Scholes etc or wether na them Blessing Kaku or Christian Obodo calibre 5 years for now....

That's the issue and it's because of the system. Imagine Mainoo being pressed like 10 times in a match, it's either he always passes back or he looks to beat press(which he's expected to do). How many times will he do that without being caught out once or twice?

Even the England setup sef doesn't alienate players like this (as scrap as Southgate was).

Mainoo na better player but make this system no go turn am to Blessing Kaku oo.

eph12:
I will even say he is at fault, but that system is criminal and will always have punishable errors. Most teams are aware of this already. ETH has continued to play with a big hole in his midfield

Most teams will continue to capitalize on that system until all these players regress. There's a reason most players regress under Ten Haag and it's because of system like this.

Imagine telling Mainoo to be beating press like this 10 times in a match, how do you expect him not to overthink things?

Ahh

mostob:
TBH, I'm not expecting anything tangible from that case.

As for Nwaneri, I feel he needs a few cameo appearances before talking of starting him. Why I didn't mention him is because bringing him directly to replace Odegaard (he will be fit anyway) against Spurs will put too much responsibilities and pressure on him.

If he's been playing/training with the team for long and he's matured in his play, then I he should start or come in as sub. Nld might be too big for him but all these other clubs can work since experience and quality would surround him. It'll help him settle faster

I just feel that if we're waiting for that perfect time for him, we fit no see am

mostob:
Gabu needs to be calming down. That injury was avoidable. It shouldn't be up to two months sha.
Partey still has it technically but defensively, he has regressed.

I read it was a mistake from Gabu. They both competed for aerial ball and Merino fell down while Gabu also fell down and landed on his hands. All those kind mistake injury that wasn't reckless.

Yeah, I think the speed from Partey have drastically reduced. He still got all other aspects of his game except Speed and perhaps his physicality

mostob:
We have been giving away a lot of chances since the start of this season probably due to Partey not doing his defensive job properly. We just needed Rice to go back to 6 while Merino take his LM position but Gabi had another plan.

Merino injury was frustrating. I come deh wish why we no even complete him transfer on deadline day sef. Maybe him for still dey. Two months too much.

I also hope Partey just get himself back again. Old age don dey come and it pains me we no fully enjoy this guy

mostob:
We don't even know if 114 points will be enough as City has 115 already.

That two points we lost really pain me eh but we move. Season still long sha. Unfortunately, they cancelled mid-season break already, I for say make dem go Dubai in December to refresh.

Lol.. @ 115.
Shebi na Sept their Saga deh end. Let it end let us see road small

But honestly the two points pain me. It's just like using one of your lifelines in question 2 of "who wants to be a millionaire". E pain me but we move sha.

Hopefully we garner more great points across the first half of this season and stop unnecessary dropping of cheap points


When do you think we fit put Nwaneri. This one when people dey talk say Odegaard fit no play yet Nwaneri name no even pop up among options sef..

mostob:
Allowing Partey to go for break is somehow scary. I just hope his minutes will be limited.
Pep don do magic and Foden has withdrawn from England squad. According to Pep, he is 'sick'. Timber was substituted because of cramp last match and he arrived Netherlands camp with his brother today. Someone we have been monitoring since o.
Hopefully, they all come back fit.

Hopefully they do oo.

This int'l break I think it's for Nations and WC qualifiers. I doubt Ghana would have agreed to it. Na for dem Timber we for try raise story

The hope is for all to come back fit and stronger Sha. We've not really clicked well this season, though we're strong defensively, I hope we click after the intl break

mostob:
All eyes on you man

Oya na...
Make him over do well abeg

mostob:

I don't think the board are going to do away with him anytime soon. He should sha deliver. Fans are impatient right now.

That's the hope and I know he and the players now know that's what is expected of them. For Arteta to say we need 114points to win league, he now knows that's the standard the boards are expecting of him and his players..

So we go deh watch.

If we can combine the performance of First half of two seasons ago and the performance of the second half of last season, then I believe we win it. We've dropped two points now, so na only three points remain(for this first half of season)

Na how personally I deh look am

Jamiuokolaa:
His decision making in scenarios like that would determine to a reasonable extent, the heights he would attain in his career...

There would always be situations like that and as a controlling midfielder, being press resistant is an attribute that cannot be overemphasized.

What happened to "drawing a foul"?

Are we saying there was no "safe pass" available?

We seem to forget that he's 19 playing DM who just start playing at top level just half a season ago.

System is suppose to help players(esp of his age) and Mainoo wasn't helped there at all. I won't judge Mainoo on this cos he hasn't got that experience that comes with more game time

If Eth wants to play out from the back and transition to front, then he needs his midfielders to be close to one another and move in tandem. This structure from that picture will expose your midfieders more tbh

eph12:
But Slot is bad. See as the players surrounded Mainoo. Even the ones they said he should be able to see and pass too behind him have players close to them and will dispossess them before the ball even gets to them

See as the round Mainoo like theif wey dem wan do am jungle justice

I was one of those who felt Mainoo was at fault for the 3rd goal but after seeing that pix, omorr, I no blame am one bit. No even valid support near him at all.

Na only elite midfielder fit escape for that situation.

mostob:
Another 4 years for the boss.

Oya na.

I remember telling Oyindamola say if na wailing, him go see wailing tire cos we might not be doing away with Arteta anytime soon.

mostob:
Saka in midfield? No please.
BTW, both Timber and Odegaard will be back for the Spurs game.
We should be worried about Partey instead. I don't know why we just let him go just like that.

You mean why we didn't let Partey leave?
