I am a big admirer to your work but sadly I don't agree with you. Egypt is not better off because of the float.

Taking a look at the article.
Yes, foreign investors came in and bought tbills.
The EGX 30 has surged 55 percent
Loans and aids from imf and foreign governments increased

But on the other hand all the above doesn't do anything for the average Egyptian. Leave foreign media to portray themselves as the saviour of the world
From same article.

They floated the EGP and it hit 18/usd. However since float the thing has not fallen instead expected to rally about 7 percent.

Inflation rose fast to 25.86percent. Showing no signs of recovery. Putting pressure on households which are generally on the poverty line.

Non-Oil business has refused to show any growth instead it is contracting. IMF pointed this as what will lift the country out of its recession, the same IMF that gave them 12billion dollars loan o. Now the miracle sector has since refused to pick up.

Honestly, I don't agree the float is the solution to our problem as the common Egyptian man has since realised and you can check their own media for proof of how bad some things have gone.

The solution to our problem is to do what the Asian Tigers did. Already from the brexit and trump's election, you will see that western governments are now thinking more of Me against others. They are cutting ties and reducing allegiances but western media wants us to believe they want to dash us aid.

Drops Mic.

This point defeats the apologists' argument.
They are like: Nothing can be without being created by something.
And I'm like: OK sir. So going by your argument, since we didn't, and couldnt have created ourselves, god must have created us? Yes?
So who the Bleep created this god?

The argument is always so tiring so I take care not to enter into it.

Now for you and the rest of the dumb _twats disturbing my mentions this is what it means to shut down threads....we will bring the sort of carnage that would result in you, that senseless _bitch, her plonker of an ass licker And any other lily livered pussy boys or girld here that feels they are hard enough to gang up on or test one of our own. We will cause the kind of drama that would generate the kind of traffic never seen on this thread before and would ensure that all of us get banned for at least a year at least if not forever!

No shaking my guy! Tell your resident twunts to watch who they attempt to cross swords with in the future though! We love discussing the concept of jogo bonito but we are experts at also handling senseless trolls and shutting down threads! Abeg make I enjoy my man united match!

KevinDein:
Is this for real?

If N'golo Kante isn't world class then there's probably no world class defensive midfielder out there, cos I honestly can't think of anyone better than him in that role. Dude is an absolute beast; he's got an amazing stamina that makes it looks like his team is playing with an extra man. He's like a much more mobile version of Makelele.

komekn:
This guy is like a rabbit that refuses to die.

Watch his work rate, even if the ball is lost his recovery rate, then add tackle rate then finally pass rate.

I give him phenomenal rating I simply haven't seen anybody do what he does. He just refuses to give up but he is totally unselfish.


Changing from attack to defence in seconds and vice versa, then add anticipation and vision.

I simply find him crazy.

Come take the bet when Busqets wins the Ballon dor

goldfish80:
Totti never won the league in his career. Himself and Gerrard are the few greats who never won the league. I can bet my car keys on this.

Can I take your bet if you promise you won't do lakesidepapa on me?

princesuko:
Thanks For Clarifying . The I wish I was half the bit of player he was put me off that a Chelsea troll created it.

TheSuperNerd:
Cc.... Sir Prinesuko.....


And Sir Joseph1013.... I too have seen that... it was a couple of years ago iniesta made that comment.... or is that not Iniesta's official twitter account again?

tbaba1234:
Iniesta on mikel

” I get asked a lot who the best player I’ve faced is. It’s John Obi Mikel. I only wish I was half the the footballer he is”, Iniesta posted on his official twitter handle @andreiniesta8.

TheGoodJoe:

IF YOU WATCH THE GAME, YOU DO NOT SEE BUSQUETS BUT IF YOU WATCH BUSQUETS, YOU SEE THE GAME.

I can not remember who said that but that was a classic statement.

TheSuperNerd:
You said if Oriol could bench mikel... Then how could mikel be world class...

I replied saying, How could Pepe also be world class when Varane kept him out of the first XI for a good period under Mourinho...

And Pepe made Sir Joseph1013's world class list...

You people don shade me finish. Make una dey remove them one by one. I go just dey look all of una.

PietroRico:
You lot are a special bunch and I love the passion you guys have for Nigerian football, I really do.
But this has to be the only place where anyone can call Mikel world class and not be beheaded .. You are taking this patriotism thing a tad too far

Almost all the points against have been made, no need for redundancy but I'm only going to chip this in.
A world class player would walk into 90% of teams Starting 11, without breaking a sweat.
How many teams would peak Mikel have walked into?

irrefragable:
I don't have the time to argue football with anyone because most times you don't achieve anything and it usually leads to insult. An average Nigerian's idea of world class is just a bit above average in the world stage that's why we hype our own too much here.

A lot of you are already tipping Nigeria to get an upper hand in the two - game encounter with Cameroon just like you did against Egypt in the nations cup qualifier. Let me tell you that game is a 50-50 chance which could swing either way even if Cameroon hadn't qualified from the group stage in the AFCON.

I followed this thread earlier and i saw some people write off Cameroon from getting to the final of the tournament. I LAUGHED. there is no way you could write off any of Egypt, Ghana, Cameroon and Nigeria as not being favorite to lift the afcon anytime even if their players are playing with half-leg. It's like writing off Brazil in the world Cup or writing off sevilla in the uefa cup. All I'm saying is some teams do feel it's their birthright to win the trophy in a particular tournament and it's stupid to write off that team even if you feel they are weak.

So what I'm saying is 1. MIKEL IS NOT WORLD CLASS (PERHARPS ALMOST) 2.THE GAME NIG VS CAM IS 50-50(NO FAVOURITE, COULD SWING EITHER WAY)

All in all, like i said i don't argue football nothing good ever comes out of it and this is just my opinion. Everybody is welcome to his /her own opinion.

Hey, come here. You cannot throw shades and run away. You must get a response by fire by force.

safarigirl:
Kante world class? Joseph, I thought you said players who have achieved for club and country? What has Kante done in France? How many years has he played?

If Kante is World Class, then put Aubmeyang and Mahrez who were duly recognized by FIFA as world class too. Let us also remember Benzema as world class

The term "world class" is very subjective in nature, so the fact that some people say Mikel is World class doesn't make them 'sentimental' or ridiculous, especially if there are stats to back it up. Also, saying he isn't is also a personal opinion with facts to back it up. Nobody is wrong or right


As far as the world knows though, Mikel is a god in Nigeria and it's no small feat to be regarded as such in a country that has produced the likes of Kanu, Okocha, Finidi George etc

goldfish80:
These quotes by his coaches and colleagues are all hype like I said earlier.
I don't like quoting articles but if you Google most overrated players in the world, the number of times you will find the name Busqets appear is quite alarming.
Truth is that he is a very good player but he is not a great player.

Players I class as great are players who you build a team around and expect them to carry the team on their shoulders.
Neither the Barcelona team nor Spanish national team were built around Busqets. Bring Busqets to Arsenal or Chelsea and task him to lead the team to glory, he will be found out.

forgiveness:
Gareth Bale and Alex Sanches are World class. Pepe and Pique!?

Kog45:
True talk but do u think Busquets w make it at Chelsea coz Chelsea as a club from d onset always go for powerful midfielder e.g.Makelele,Essien,Diarra,Kante,Matic,i can say only Mikel was different in his approach and positional play.

I don't believe Busquets w make it at Chelsea coz at chelsea u must have d strength but i can tell u Mikel w be highly successful at Barcelona coz he has d flair that suit Barca style.

goldfish80:
Busquets recycles possession. He does not break down defences. Can you mention a match Busquets decided on his own? I can mention games kross, Modric, Xabi Alonso, Yaya, Pirlo, even Montolivo, Verrati etc won on their own.
Can you say the same of Busquets? Be honest

TheSuperNerd:
"Busquets is the 'white-form' of Mikel"

Cc: Sir Joseph1013

I think Sir Zicky just dropped a very powerful fact.

If Busquets was Nigerian playing for Chelsea and and Mikel was Spainard playing for Barca..... Hehehehehe... Don't you think you will rate Mikel above busquets?

Coz truth is they play the same way in the DM/CM role only that Mikel has more skillsets than busquets as can be seen in the green-and-white.

TheSuperNerd:
Huh?? Next macheda?? Now wait a minute... I actually do rate Gabby Jesus but not more than I do Iheanacho based on records so far.... But calling him the next macheda? Isn't that harsh?

Sir Joseph... Hmmm... Anyway, make I dey observe....

goldfish80:
@Joseph1013
I see in your list you added Busquets. Personally I think he is overrated. I categorize Busquets as a very good player but not a great one.
He basically understood the Barcelona philosophy and basically plays for the team. On his own, he does not dominate games or decide games like Xavi, Iniesta could do.
Put Busquets out of the Barcelona team, he will be found out as just another player in the team. He is on the same level as Pedro Rodriguez.

I don't think I ever saw Busquets dominate games and win championships like Yaya Toure or Pirlo. My assessment is based on individual play not team.
