seankafor:Official marriage l don't know but baby mother YES. |
TheLoneCitizen:Do you know that Sol Bamba playing for Cardiff last season in the EPL, had better statistics than Van Dyke. In your opinion do you think that Bamba is better than Van Dyke❓ Statistics have to be used properly and as such are indicative but not entirely conclusive. Cardiff were relegated back to the Championship with thier poor quality quintessential dogs of war, kick and rush type football. Where they belong. Poor quality teams often spend the larger part of the game defending which means lots of blocks, long balls, interceptions, tackles, clearances. As a consequence they have lots of these types of high statistics. It is not a reflection of quality but desperation and limited ability . Leganese is a poor team, that has only been able to win 5 games out of 31 games in La Liga. It is not benchmark for quality. La Liga wins accolades and is classed as the best in Europe on account of the units of measurement used. Those accolades are almost entirely anchored on the exploits of Real and Madrid. You could add a lower third in this group Athletico Madrid. So you have a huge gap between the top two teams Real and Barca who have probably one everything for the past 15 years. If you look at EPL over the same period you will have about 6 different teams over the same period winning the league. But more worrying is the gap in quality of the bottom half of La liga. When you look at Segunda División it is nowhere near on the level of the Championship. So using the second tier Championship as a measure of players quality fails. Look at the value of players in Bournemouth a relegation club and Leganese. In terms of players value Leganese cannot compete. Or we could look at Fulham in the Championship and the value of thier players once again Leganese cannot compete on value or quality. Essentially Leganese would struggle to compete in the Championship. They would not be big spenders and be mid table at best IMO. The reality is players follow the money not just the league. Nobody is going to leave the Championship for lower pay to just play in La Liga. This is why l do not agree with your proposition. |
Iwobi is having a very good game today, missed the MOTM by a small margin. But a reflection of his continous achilles heel, Iwobi can't shoot to save his life. His shooting is very weak. I noticed Kean the black Italian RISING STAR has now become the FALLING STAR � A note of caution to those who follow the money in their transfer without studying the club before they join. And establish if they can progress in that club and system. |
Joebie:I am coming to the same conclusion. |
sheyishemba:You are being too precisely objective and too clinically factual. Please I conclude you must be HATER according to many here LOL |
Not too long ago, the talk of racism came into the discourse. And I mentioned Everton but a club l have been very consistent in saying is No No for black players is Burnley. We have seen the banner that Burnley fans paid for as a collective to be flown over the Etihad stadium, should give you an indication of the prevalent cultural in that club from top too bottom. Quite a few were contending with me on that view l presented.
|
Danielnino00:First of all move away from your emotive based sentiment and look at the facts. But you clearly cannot. |
Philosopher1979:The entirety of football is based on JUDGMENT not emotive sentiment. And NO he was not outstanding in the Eredivisie 12 games and 5 goals is not outstanding. He was in Perugia 17 games 3 goals. He has scored a total of 12 goals in lowly Serbian league not 17 These are the facts upon which a deduction of quality can be made or if you like judgment. You are being led by sentiment. He was given opportunity at Rangers but FAILED WOEFULLY. Opportunity is not an entitlement yoi must EARN IT, he simply did not earn any note opportunity. |
Edopesin:When making a move a players has to be strategic. And look at where his skill set will be best utilised as well as know what his skill set is. Rising stars with bad transfer decision can become falling stars very quickly. This is the nature of football. CAUTION Osimhen has effectively had two seasons of first team professional football, this is indeed his second season. Which may turn out they way the French league is going to be almost a 2/3 season. If he cuts it in Newcastle then he will be on the target of the top clubs of Europe with an even bigger transfer fee. Which top team is he going to go and automatically become the numero one without serious competition. Even boxers pick thier fights wisely. |
Joebie:Oniovo that is the first thing l use to judge a person in everything that l do, CARDINAL PRINCIPLE. In all relationship business or otherwise |
Joebie:Agreed |
Joebie:I am more concerned with people who have respect for thier fellow citizens irrespective of their socio- economic standing. There many people show respect to thier parents and people the consider to have something to offer. But dismiss anybody with total disdain and derogation that doesn't fit thier description of "happening" or something to offer. |
Danielnino00:You believeed in the sentiment not the facts. Rubbish him he rubbished himself, with his conduct and zero perfomances. At that time. Is stating the facts rubbishing someone. Tell me one thing that l said that was UNTRUE. Those measured and established facts underpinned my opinion. What is your opinion anchored on ❓ Sentiment based emotive presumption IMO. He is moved to a very lowly league that's rated on the 20 margin in Europe. However, is he the most outstanding players in the league❓ Is he among the top 5 goal scorers in this league. He has scored 12 goals so far this season, there are three players all on 12 goals. So he is within the top ten goal scorers in the league. Is that outstanding for a league, l would rate about EFL one or even lower. Is that enough to replace Osimhen in Lille, l very much doubt it. The Belguim league is rated just within the top 10 in Europe. And so you can easily make a step up to a league that's 3/4 places above your league. That's what Osimhen did. But moving 14/15 steps up to French league one, that is a lot of steps in one move. If you listen to the hype here you will think Sadiq was going to Manchester United and Liverpool. And is highly rated in Europe. Umar previously had 2/3 seasons in much better leagues in Europe but could not cut it at that level and was found wanting. So has he improved enough to step up or is that his level So my view is not emotive sentiment based but objective. He has a long way to go, he is doing well in Serbian league but it's simply not good enough to be a contender for an SE slot at this time. l find all this transfer talk concerning him very understandable media hype manipulation. |
IDENNAA:After slapping somebody in the face, you then say, no vex my hand mistakenly moved to your face. This your reasoning Eee get as Eee be. |
zuchyblink:Dude is still trying to get back to form after that ACL injury. |
Edopesin:It's quite baffling, l wonder who is agent is. Them again look at Solanke done absolutely nothing had shown nothing, but goes to Bournemouth for £19 million. Joe Linton is physicality with no end product. When l said that Newcastle would be very good team for Osimhen. I got dogs abuse from several here. Because l felt it would be much easier for him to play as a point man and a true number 9 in Newcastle without too much competition. Finally, money don finish Covid 19 has caused a huge loss of earnings, for most clubs. |
Edopesin:After all that has been said about Dessers including talk of being linked with Arsenal he ends up in Genk for €4 million. I am perplexed a mere €4 million for a quality l striker, l truly expected at least €10 million and a better team as well. |
TheLoneCitizen:It depends on what you mean by our. Because l dont think he is clearly better than Balogun or Ekong. And if you add to the equation Adarabioyo, Iorfa and Ajayi. It is very far from conclusive. |
Xbee007:I have been consistently clear about my position. But you in your attemp to contend with me you are agreeing with me, without even knowing it. It has not won any experiment and that's why it's taken 7 years plus and continous. Without a conclusion. If after 7 years of experimental assessment you are still undecided. And you call that HIGHLY LIKELY then you are being delusional. The USAF don't use it for anything of significance. Tell me what the BATTLEFIELD RECORD is of the A29 in the USAF. You are now imagining things. Somebody is selling you something they don't use or sell to thier close allies and strategic partners. I posted a verbatim statement by the head of the USAF and he made it intrinsically clear the purpose of the light attack turboprop aircraft experiment. Read it please and stop conjuring conjuring things from your imagination. |
Jelal0007:Agreed without reservation or question ❓ You keep quite you die, you talk you die. |
dragon2:Actions they say speak a lot louder than words. The experimental programme of turboprop aircraft for CAS has been ongoing for over 7 years by the USAF. Do a bit of open source investigation and research. What is the USAF budget for the programme how many aircraft have been procured and inducted into the USAF❓ That will give you your answer, as they say "The proof is in the pudding" |
dragon2:We are getting Hydra 70mm rockets not the ATGM. We are getting them unguided as it stands,l don't know if we will have the Advanced Precision Kill Weapon System (APKWS) conversion upgrade kit by BAE Systems. Do you know how much a Chinese ATGM costs and do you know how much a Hydra 70mm rockets cost ❓ To make that deduction you must have the cost comparison. Each unit will cost a minimum of $5/6 k you probably have about 9 in a pod. If its unguided you will use at least 2/3 on one target. That's $10-15 k per each target. Is that cheap to you. Now the Chinese ATGM is precision and so which is cheaper. My view is not anchored on air, all this talk of A29 is irrelevant and a waste of time. Because l absolutely do not believe 20 A29 will not change this war. It will impact it but they are not the game changer. If I was in the middle of an existential insurgency which has caused and is causing bloody mayhem. Would I then spend £600 million on 12 turboprop aircraft, that will not arrive in completion until 2024 with the first aircraft delivered three years after payment. ABSOLUTELY NOT. I have already given a basic synopsis of the enemy and his associates. This is a GROUND WAR primarily and our tactics are VERY CONVENTIONAL. The enemy is fluid and constantly on the move night and day. We have static forward bases that gives the troops a very good degree of safety. But not neccesarily the surrounding and even immediate communities, a sense of comprehensive safety and guaranteed security. Boko just go around the bases sometimes right behind the so called areas of contention and visit blood murderous mayhem on the communities. This has been very continous for almost a decade. Is it not obvious to all and sundry that our tactics are not working. Irrespective of all the positive news flashes of NA victories. We begin to wonder "who is fooling who" because it is apparent that TRUTH is a very big casualty. Let's get back to the core topic of discussion battlefield management and l will add strategic delivery and effective outcome delivery. Having that in mind given $600 million to spend on military acquisition what would you spend it on. And what will be your strategy approach to end this insurgency, once and for all. As it stands with the current approach this War will go on for another 10 years. |
jpphilips:You are inadvertently supporting my position. If the USA truly believed in the efficacy of the A29 why would they have only 3 of these aircraft according to you, that's SHOCKING. When the USAF procures it procurers in hundreds not even in units of 10. It's common sense that seems to have evaded quite a few here. if the USAF has only three, that in itself tells the story. |
Toju200:NATO did not consider it viable and at the time felt that Jaguar, Mirage, Tornado and other platforms could carry out close air support with better efficiency and with the added advantage of multi mission adaptable. So it was never considered viable by NATO partners. |
bidex111:You are now descending into the gutter with your diction. By all means disagree with but substantively not with emotive sentiment based ramblings. So considering all that have l presented tell me one item that is not a fact or untrue in the first instance. And then you are absolutely entitled to disagree with my opinion but why would be an act of expected courtesy. It was those facts that underpin my deduction l will concede l may have been slightly ambiguous in my position on the Alpha Jet upgrade. And it could be construed l have given the Alpha Jet ISTAR capability. The Alpha Jet, for the avoidance of doubt, is not with its very limited loiter time of 3.5 hours is not a viable alternative for ISTAR. |
SuperSixSeven:On average $1.5 million but if procured in larger numbers, good negotiations $1million. |
dragon2:Very simple and short reply. Go and ask Turkey about all this long baseless rhetoric. And then ask Assad and Haftar how the feel. Finally, the A10 is being retired and no NATO country has bothered procuring it. I wonder why ❓ ❓ |
I am watching TVC news now reporting about Borno and this insurgency. Some things they are saying l find VERY HARD to believe. For instance 5 local government arras are completely without any control by government literally abandoned. The Governor has not been to his home town since 2014. Babajide is giving his own eye witness account he even talks about an incident where 150+ soldiers were killed in one incident. This is very very hard to believe. |
bidex111:That attributes is not unique to the A29 that ability is very much available to all NAF fighter jet. If you want to upgrade the Isreals Elbit Systems can put in a new WDNS that is comparable or exceeds the A29 on our very reliable Alpha jets. However, fighter jet is much faster and you don't hear it until it's gone. Has a bigger payload, for instance the Alpha Jet is close to 3000kg compared to the A29's 1500kg. The loud humming drone from the much slower A29 turboprop can be heard from miles away. Particularly if it flies at medium to low altitude. This experimental aircraft by the USAF is very good but it's not unique or the best by any standard. However, it is definitely the most EXPENSIVE in the world. It is still being experimented upon and as you can see below.

GeneralFarouq:Take out Brazil because they make this aircraft themselves. Look at the countries that you are using to give credence to the efficacy of this airframes. None of them are serious strategic partners of the USA and spend pennies on military expenditure. They are highly insignificant poor level associate countries. Why did Isreal, Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Qatar, UAE, Japan, South Korea, Canada and the entire NATO block as well as other European countries not adopt this aircraft as the best COIN aircraft. Finally, how many A29 does the USAF have l confess to exaggeration it's nowhere near 30. Which is a paltry number by USAF standards. |
Toju200:Head of USAF described the A29 as an aircraft that is for poorer countries and expiremental for the USA. Do some open source investigation and find out the budget for this experimental programme by the USAF. Finally, it's an experiment that has been ongoing for over 5 years. What happened if they don't adopt and dismiss it as not fit for purpose. What will be your deduction. |
Faithful007:Actually UAV's are more suited to intense battlefield contention because of thier precision munitions. The danger of friendly fire is very high in close proximity contact. A UAV has the capacity to do face recognition can loiter at high altitude unknown for 30 hours. Times have changed its not WW2, pilots don't have to manoeuvre with precision weaponry anymore. Update yourself please. Actually no aircraft will have the same situational spatial awareness that a UAV has. It's primary purpose at inception was to create situational awareness. You do the mathematics 50 Wing Loong II UAV plus munitions we already by have the existing infrastructure operational control stations so a possible upscale is not that expensive. The range is 1500 miles so you can operate from Abuja or even Benin if you want too. Total cost including munitions for the next two years or more for 50 Wing Loong II UAV's $65 MILLION. But most importantly delivered HERE and NOW. I then have $535 million left. To support the UAV 12 used SU25 at $4/5 million each. Very serious ground attack fighter. If you go down the HERE and NOW route mixture of refurbished and new armoured vehicles. Which will include at least 150 But in reality IMO air power is more suited to conventional warfare not the particular COIN like we have with Boko. Boko are not going around in MBT, IFV or exchanging long range artillery fire. 95% of them are hitting us with AK47's, GMPG, grenades then the 5% is rickety gun trucks mounted with HMG not stabilised, Rpg7's and a lesser extent SVBIED, IED'S. We should have forward bases from where search and destroy missions are despatched in 10/15 IFV'S, LAV,s APC'S and need be MBTs to support when needed. They should be semi autonomous night and day looking to take out Boko. Why are we approaching it like it's conventional warfare. Boko are not running a caliphate they are fluid on the move. So we need to be as fluid and flexible as well, not in static position firing artillery from a distance. |

he rubbished himself, with his conduct and zero perfomances. At that time. Is stating the facts rubbishing someone. Tell me one thing that l said that was UNTRUE. Those measured and established facts underpinned my opinion.
and some people are saying Osimhen is not worth more than 30mil lmfao
