Asensio!

Asensio is a waste.
A useless player.
Signing Asensio is like signing Dele Alli pro max.

Asensio is of those players that went from grace to grass and then to gutter. The only thing good about him is that somehow, he has managed to stay at Madrid all these years.

Make una no dey recommend players based on feelings abeg.

ChristoBam:
Jesus you people just want new names. You actually don't know the players we're being linked to. This Gakpo guy is not even that good. You look at his stats in the Dutch league but don't realize all of the attack is channelled through him. Rashford will score 50 in his position. You'll see Gakpo make the same useless decision again and again.

3 full matches that I've watched him now. I shared one full match video like 3 months ago and I didn't even realize until recently that Gakpo was the black guy doing rubbish.

Watched a game that he played absolutely shit but had 2 assists and a goal. 2 basic crosses and a goal from a keeper spill. I've not seen one thing that impresses me about him.


Btwn he's 23 not 19/20. Sancho is younger and far better and has achieved far more.

Yes, I want new names.

The current crops of players in united are too complacent.

Over the past years, this same Martial have been displaced by old players like Ibrahimovic, Cavani and Ronaldo, we had him when we bought Lukaku. Greenwood and Rashford started dreaming of CF because of how ineffective he has been, but yet he is the preferred CF now that we want to be serious.

Nna ehn!

Ellexy:
Whether you like it or not Martial is the CF right now and even above Ronaldo in the pecking order. You can laugh from now till next year it won't change that.

You know this because you are ETH assistant, right?

If Martial is the CF that you want, then you don't mean well for this club.

Ellexy:
Whether it's my money or not is not the matter here, he's simply not good enough to improve the team and I think the manager is having a rethink after watching him during these just concluded playoffs.

Even if he comes, he can't bench anybody in the first team, he shouldn't come and eat reasonable minutes the likes of Garnacho and Amad should get all in the name of new signing.
The manager also wanted Arnautovic I believe you supported that one too.

If the manager wants Messi, it's none of my business.

At this point in my life as a united fan, all I want is good football and trophy.

Those boys can develop elsewhere, united is not a testing ground no more. We've had enough of that. Besides, since SAF, how many young boys have developed to an unbenchable starter?

The manager will decide whether he'll bench anyone, not you.

Ellexy:
Yes we don't need Gakpo. Have you actually watched him? He's worse than Rashford not even better than Elanga , there's nothing he has in skillset that we don't already have in abundance, he plays on the left, a position we have players in excess.

I'm struggling to see where he'll even play on the first team or improve the team. Maybe for depth purposes but I'll rather give those minutes to Garnacho or if Ronaldo leaves he can be deputising for Martial as a striker it in that scenario I even prefer Depay to him.

He'll be a waste of money simple.

Is it your money?

The Manger wants him, let him have him.

It's up to the manager to bring out the best in him.

You guys should stop mentioning all those academy and U21 boys, they are not ready yet.

You don't need Gakpo?

Rashford and Martial have been in this club for how many years? How many goals do they guarantee per year. How many points have they won? How many important games have they shown their brilliancies and won compared to their age mates in other leagues?

The Martial + Rashford ship has sailed. Man Utd no be their papa house.

Like someone said, e dey pepper una for body because una no dey earn reach 100k and dem dey talk say una no suppose marry based on that.

I can't for the life of me understand why a guy, less than 35, earning less than 100k is obsessed with marriage.

Suffer no dey tire una?

That was how one was saying his daughter starting drinking garri at 4 months or so. Dem suppose lock some of una up + the woman wey agree give una toto fucck.

Rubbish!

Ground go swallow this one too, the same way e swallow the previous Abacha loots, China loans, Paris club refund.

You can have a family without earning a dime.

A guy said here yesterday that he was feeding 7 mouths with 45k/month.

But you have to ask yourself, is this how you want to live?

Would you rather survive or live?

Richy4:
Recipe for a disaster...
So after the marriage, one of the kids falls ill and the doctors says 160K or no attention would be given to the kid in the hospital, Considering the fact he has no source of income, what will you guys do?..

This was exactly my thoughts about a guy earning 100k who has decided to use napkins rather than pampers and he and his wives were being hailed for being prudent.

What if during the course of delivery, there were complications and the doctors demand he pays 300k upfront for surgery?

Nigerians sha will never learn.

Never.

kaboninc:
Mehn, we just make it seem like life is really really expensive. Like living is that expensive and that anyone who is not rich should just die.

Just a little bit of my life, I have survived on 45k salary taking care of 7 mouths, supporting half of house rents and other bills. We did not die. It was hell but we did not die and of course you work harder and smarter to make sure you earn better.

If you can't afford to give your toddler the most expensive food, please give them pap and other corn meal or low cost food. More than 90% of us were fed with it. And when you have more, you give your kids too as you can afford. No need to spend more than you can afford and more than you earn.

I know couples whose combined salaries is not up to 100k and they are living. Maybe not as much as they would love to have but they find happiness and I'm really happy about them.

Bros, hardship don master you.

I hope you get financially free soon.

Pampers isn't even so expensive, but if you remove pampers money from N100k, you might eat your food without fish.

People deliberately going into poverty and bringing in innocent child to partake in it.

If I were God, I will not forgive both man and his wife.

oldienavie:
How old are you ?
Probably early twenties... This is the same mistake lots of ladies made that made them to be looking for husband at 40years old.
The bolded is a big fat lie, why ?
Look around you, even abroad, men marry down. The higher a lady goes the lesser the sample of men available to her.
My advise to young ladies reading this, make sure you are married or have a serious relationship before 27 years old, the moment you cross 30 years old, men know you are desperate for marriage and will turn you to lord of the rings.

Very few single men without baggage will marry a lady older than 30years old, but they will just be sleeping with you.

When our mothers were saying the window of a woman is very short, this is exactly what they mean.

So a lady with ambitions is too high up for you to marry?

Feminism tries to solve a problem by creating another.

Leyqute:
Ok.

Aiit.

When I was your man by Bruno Mars.
Bad husband by Eminem

Ekueme by Osinachi and Prosper Ochimana.

I understand her pain but what was she expecting?

Even Adele got slim and went for another man after her divorce, nobody died.

Besides, she initiated the break up.
Beyonce also could have divorced her husband but she stayed and settled things.

advanceDNA:
You have that ideology becos money everything to you....money isnt everything...

Ive seen rich people depressed committing suicide....i've seen poor man banging rich man's wife....the wife of Jeff bezoz divorced him for a secondary school teacher....

money doesnt make you perfect...u dont have to millions or billions of it to be happy or fullfilled in life.....

You have tried.

That fellow is so poor all he has is money.

Haylel:
Once upon a time, I was in close contact with a friend who was struck with this dilemma.
You are entangled in a simple loop:

You can't dazzle orally because you are not sleek with your grammar. Conversely, the reason you aren't good with spoken English is because you don't speak it.

We knew this then. Yoruba was our default lingo, but because of that friend, we all started conversing in English. Also, we made it a thing to make fun of each other when we make blunders.

Some of his common blunders
(He wanted to say "compliment sir" to someone on New Year day)

My friend : Cementary sir. Cementary of the season.

(We were reading for an exam)

My friend: Let me sleep small, so my head can saturate.

Find friends you will dialogue with in English, laugh hard at your own blunders, your problem will vanish in no time like WhatsApp status.

Seriously, this is the solution.

Make friends with people not from your tribe.


Abeg, make my head saturate small too.

Your only mistake was not speaking English while in the university.

I know a lot of guys like you, they'd rather mingle with Yoruba speaking people than try to at least communicate in English.

You need to start speaking English consciously. It's not too late.

milann:
That first goal from Sancho, if it were to be an ambidextrous player, he would have buried it with his left foot instead of bringing it back onto his preferred right. He was lucky the Liverpool defenders were not quick to react to block the goal. Who's with me?

Watch the goal again.

The goal was perfectly executed. There was no way they were going to recover from that dribble. Allison had already dived to the other side only to rise and dive again. Even VVD directly in front of his was there posing. Poor Milner.

Leyqute:
What Martial did to assist the second goal, this current Cristiano Ronaldo will never do it. He losses those types of balls every match day.

Not taking away from Martial but there's nothing special about that assist. It was even late.

Ronaldo would conveniently give that. He would even put Rashford in a very comfortable position.


Go and watch all Ronaldo's assists since he came back especially the one he gave Cavani against Tottenham last season.

Okada for sure.

Fucck what people will say

There's nothing wrong doing that once a while but don't make it your duty.

Women came prepared for marriage, they know what they are signing up for.

Same way a woman should let her man contribute more financially.

LordIsaac:
Kai....Africans. If I talk now they will say "am I not an African?" I know I will not kill a lion to become King!

It's tradition.

The whites killed black for sport. Them no fit suppose dey teach us morality if we get sense

You can only complain yet offer no evidence.

Mention one other Nigerian website with the same daily contributors, influence, social relevance and membership like Nairaland.

There is none.

Others are popular on twitter but none compares to NL.

ChristoBam:
After Moyes, Van Gaal came in and still won something. After Van Gaal, Jose came in and won trophies the following year, got 2nd position after. After Jose, Ole didn't win anything but was still about to do something initially.

But what has Ole left behind? Probably the worst team we've ever had in the EPL era. This after 'rebuilding' for 3 years.

Ole lost 3 semifinals and one final.

LVG won a final against City.


I don almost forget say LVG even win trophy sef.

OGS is by far the worst coach post SAF

He is now ugly. Kizz Daniel used to be very handsome back in the days.
