Conventy reminds me of Burnley under Kompany. They're daring and entertaining but na cane them go dey chop every match day.

If he doesn’t embrace conservatism like Hull has he’s going to go straight back to the Championship.

Frank Lampard changed his approach. Opened them up to that counter that eventually resulted in the goal.

It’s too early in the season to be this daring and risky. Carry your one point and enjoy. 1 is better than 0.

Our U-18 are 1-0 up against Everton. Shah.

😃😃😃
If we keep playing them during pre season na 3m we go dey sell them.

3m still try sef

We should play them in carabao then. Or cameo appearances in games where their inclusion won’t hurt them or us.

There is limited evidence of his ability in senior football. It has been injury after injury even when he went on loan. He has missed 26 games in the last 2 seasons due to injury. I don't think it is a bad fee for an unproven and potentially injury-prone academy graduate.

Im not saying 3m isn’t a good fee given his circumstances, I’m only saying we could’ve maximized his potential and gotten a bigger fee.

Like most of our U21s, I don’t think he was properly managed or taken care of in his late teens and early twenties.

Once he got that run in the first team, we should’ve given him more attention (esp. medically) so he continues developing. He would’ve developed into a decent player and gone for a bigger fee.

We focus too much on prepping them for first team football here instead of helping them become a proper football athlete anywhere.

odizeey:
E go come for relegated teams

Bad belle smh

afrodoc2:
If he had stayed fit during his loan, we would have gotten a little more for him.

This is the best for all parties. He won't develop as our 6th choice CM.

There is a 3-yr window of opportunity between ages 18 and 21 for the academy players with potential to stake a claim to a 1st team slot. Once you miss that window that is it.

Still doesn’t mean he should go for that low price. We should focus on giving these lads the best platform to develop during that crucial age gap. They’ll integrate better into the first team and won’t go for a pittance when we sell.

Na wetyn go end all those academy players if we continue saying their time will come.

Won’t their time come?

Sportsweb:
What Emaprince said is true na. Black players are top top DMs because they have the strength and agility. There are so many successful black defensive Midfielders in football.


But creative central Midfielder? Can you count up to 5?

He never mentioned other positions like Wing, Striker, and defense

Tielemans. Creative CM

afrodoc2:
Toby Collyer to join WBA for 3m pounds guaranteed and a 40% sell-on clause.

Felt disappointed when I saw this. We didn’t hype this guy enough.

Maresca is playing O’reily as a right midfielder.

Emaprince:
Thats a defensive midfielder. Blacks thrive mostly there

He’s more brain than brawn tho

fredoooooo:
Tosin to united , I know it's just a rumor to boost the transfer..but i wish it becomes a reality..

Mechionu there!

Tosin ko Todun ni

Afrodoc is that Carrick kid in the U-18 in anyway related to Michael Carrick?

They defeated Charlton Athletic U-18 3-0 on Tuesday. Camacho scored the first goal. Junior Brown assisted the second.

Camacho looks talented but I feel physicality might be a stumbling block to senior football J. Brown looks like he might make the transition more easily due to his physicality.

That Watson kid who played LB looks like he’s going to be an top athlete.

In the highlights posted by the club, some dudes were speaking Yoruba in the background 😀

Skimpledawg:
Na now I understand Alhaji Popizaino


Maresca must fail at City.

Maresca called us a "different club"

This is why you should unfollow and block your ex everywhere.

potland:
i thought you were all about man united

yeah I am a United fan . But I’ve got interest in football generally.

“After consultations “…

Awon weeereeeey

spillo1:
The Delap deal is well on point. I said it last year, there's no con in buying him when we were interested. Even if he flopped, we would have sold him for profit as well. He's an English striker that did double digits at Ipswich and he's still young with much potential. He will always have English suitors ready to pay for him.

We almost sold a high potential Mainoo for 50m last January and you believe we will somehow sell a flopped Delap for 50m?

odizeey:
Marmoush to Totenham.

Totenham get ambition pass United.

And one fan is comfortable. When e reach to sack coach, you go begin say make we do like other big clubs. Madrid backline of last season is not the same as this season but when e reach to sack coach you go remember say we big as Madrid.

😂😂😂

Better start following the academy. Na there guys dey derive joy now

AirBere:
He wasn't that great at the world cup either. He was simply alright.

People didn’t complain this terribly about him tho.

Kilishihunter:
Gordon will have a hard time displacing raphinha when he's fit

Raphinha is the most influential, most effective attacker in Barca. Such a shame they backed Yamal over him for Ballon D”Or.

Yamal is probably not match fit. He just played the World Cup final how many weeks ago? How many matches has he played since his return from holiday? Make Una leave him alone. Body still heavy .

TrebleChamp:
Carrick need to switch to 433 to get the best out of the players and get good resut, but to do that he has to bench Bruno. Sadly he doesn't have the balls to bench Bruno, so we are stuck to 4231...

Coachito

Roland17:
True but that middle is too open. They pretty much escort everyone into the final 3rd of their box where the Escorter in Chief, Sir VVD ushers them to the goal..

Thats because the DM is always caught out of position in those moments.

andrewbaba44:
I am not watching ,but I am sure vvd was setting yansh and running away to get dribbled past while raising his hands like a traffic warden

Could’ve been 3 minutes ago thanks to his escort services

Roland17:
Elanga deserve correct knock for not passing that ball..

He lacks the talent, vision and technique to give that kind of pass. You can’t give what you don’t have.

Liverpool’s rest defense is so weak. They’re very vulnerable to counter attacks.

Wissa dribbled Szoboszlai shamelessly and VVD escorted him till he gave the assist.

Elanga tee si won loju 😂

AirBere:
City straight win na EAZI money.

Post screenshot of ya bet slip.

E sure for you o

FBS:
Really?
Eda omo Adamo.

But you guys said nothing when he was kicked in the first 2 minutes or did you?
Players get sent off for less, but since its Vini, its OK to kick him, innit?

It’s not okay to kick Vinicius. It’s also not okay that Vinicius is easily thrown off his game because someone played rough with him. Could’ve copped a red card with his revenge ambition and emotional antics.

Mbappe was also kicked against Paraguay in the WC but that didn’t throw him off his game. He still put pepper for their eye.

It’s a weakness for Vini. Everyone now knows you can render him useless by being physical with him.

drisham:
So with all the madueke pro max , cucurella and dumbbells
Madrid still useless


Dem go to suffer this season for barca hand

That Diomande looks like Baba Blue.
