I like my GKs tall maybe that's why I'm not so glad about this Roadrunnerson. I would have preferred Karl Hein instead.

IDENNAA:
This is not about Zuby but about an ineffectual midfielder in our fold. Ndidi must go !

seriously? Ndidi must go?
Come on bro...

This list look somehow sha ...
But I'm really really really glad for Alampasu. I hope he takes this chance with both hands and both legs. He is my preferred choice among the GKs. Uzoho has not nailed anything.
And Onyekuru didn't make the list. I perfectly understand Ejuke and Kalu are clearly ahead. I hope he sought himself out. I want him to nail that LW spot.
I have been expecting a backup for Ndidi for long...I hope Frank rise to the occasion.
An OK list for me.
BTW the last time I heard about Akpeyi, he was injured and will be out for 6 months or so.

Clubs know we are offloading. So it's like they are doing us a favour clearing our deadwood.

Let's just add Torriera to the Partey deal and some cash. Forget his worth.

Kola will fetch us more than Mustafi. LBs who speak German are rare.

OK na

So omeruo never still see laliga club

When I talk say awaziem was good for Porto bench at best some people say na lie ,I was even expecting him to join a laliga or French league club easily but na boavista my guy join

It’s well ,if he does well for Boavista he might still move to a better league

He would have got a French club but Porto no wan gree sell below actual price. He was a regular for Nantes.
As for Omeruo make we dey look.

Kbs468:
Chelsea are interested in Arsenal midfielder Mattéo Guendouzi, the Gunners have asked for one of two players in exchange. N'Golo Kanté or Callum Hudson-Odoi, Chelsea have said no any deal with Kante. #AFC #CFC

We will keep you posted on any developments. #Transfers https:///ccKXsmfLiZ

They should give us Kovacic.

kodded:
If thiago never flop na why partey go come flop ? Abi you feel say na lampard be our coach ?

The way every fans dey clamour for the guy made me said so.
Make the guy no com dash hopes.
As for lampard eh...I don't like wishing someone bad but I don't think he will finish the season with Chelsea.

Awaziem ... Boavista
Ekong..... Watford
Omeruo....Leganes
With those German boys on their way,one would expect these guys to aim for a bigger club.
I just weak.

Once u have picked your team, click on "home" then scroll down, u will see d leagues u have been automatically added to... click "create or join league" ,then input the code in d required space..

OK thanks

Kbs468:
Lazio have offered €8m for Arsenal to sign Shkodran Mustafi. You heard it guys @OfficialSSLazio?

I think clubs are now taking advantage of the fact that we are desperate to clear out some players.
How can you offer €8M for Mustafi . I know he is sometimes error prone but that amount is too small.

Spy360:
I think more that Arteta needs to develop other tactics incase Tierney isn't available. He is a very flexible coach and should come up with something.

That is where the problem lies. If it's a MF or FW,the formation can be adjusted but there is no way you will play a match without a LB. And kola is the only available LB.
I didn't count AMN cos he is somehow a JOKER, no fixed position.
Playing Saka will create hole in our Midfield.

Danielnino00:
Here boss.. 82ysr5

Sorry bro..I be newbie. I have done everything required but how do you join a league? And which browser are you using.

This Partey better perform. I dey talk now o..Lolz ... make bobo no come flop for here o

Danielnino00:
Scroll up.... Ive dropped the link...

where sir

� Agreement between Atletico & Torreira
� Simeone has called Arteta to close the deal
� Talks of the possibility to include Torreira into the Partey deal in order to reduce the 50MEUR requested by the colchoneros for Thomas Partey
https:///5B6EurcV9O



Athletico Madrid are waiting for Arsenal response. Although they value Torreira at €15 million.

meanwhile, Torino deal seems to be off already

Arsenal should add Kola too as a thank you bonus. But €15M is too small for Torreira. We are only selling him due to his lack of physicality.

And here I was hoping Kola can improve and lessen the load on Tierney.
Anyway, e be like that Tolaji Bola is good. I've never watched him so I can't say.
Make dem transition am to first team. Oga kola can go and help Per or Bould in body building for their respective teams.
Nonsense and Hotspurs

phew! what a game!
Arteta no suppose play Kolasinac, after watching him today,I doubt any team will now come for him. AMN should have replaced Tierney in a back 4.
All in all,we won . E be like na better grinding machine dem use grind out this win....Lolz

elunico:
Ekong isn't a bad ball player as you're trying to make it look.

I know. I'm not disputing that.

'sit down for bush' Seriously, you no well .

barackodam:
That's the same reason a lowly Levante scored Barça 5.
The same reason Watford scored Liverpool 3.

Because the full backs had gone missing.

If Jordi Alba had done his work, and not run up to do Griezmann work, Barça for no collect 8.


Ndidi is a MF. Of course he should learn to pass, why wouldn't he?

My point is defenders. Defenders

You have a point. Defending should be the first priority for a defender but you should also know that at times, A single smart pass will prevent needless interception, tackles and conceded goal. A defender without ball playing ability is like a liability nowadays. Whooping the ball anyhow will sometimes put the team in pressure. Defenders are always the first element in a build up.
Those teams you mentioned are just having one of their bad games.

Newsflash...

Championship teams and the Championship league itself are thrash,...

Thrash,.. Thrash,... Thrash!!!


Any day Komekn dares compares that amateur league with any of the top 20 leagues in Europe again,... May Amadioha and Sango strike him with Thunder

No no no no..... this is too much bro

Jodera:
oh.. Ok. You put him in the midst of their fergie and mourinho na why I talk na...
But no mind me, I get your point tho

Ok my man...

Jodera:
my opinion tho, I think German league is the most entertaining. Seria A I watched like 2 different ones, I almost sleep. Lol.


Tata Martino ke? Since after guardiola, no better coach bin coach barca. Maybe Tito(may his soul RIP) would have been, but aside that, the rest are just average Jones. Enrique was lucky he met peak MSN to guide them to treble.
Martino, that one dey use cane pursue for barca... Lol

Yea, Burndisleaguedown too
I was actually using him as an example of old coaches not talking about his prowess.

Olulong:
Oga mi if our defenders are clearly better than them. Gernot Rohr won't be running after them

It is not the matter of who is better than who, it's just that squad depth is paramount in team building to breed competition.

Jodera:
. Yeah..
But I thought the crazy tactics will make the game more entertaining than before.
But if you look now, it's less entertaining.

I remember during lvg era in man u stint, he emphasizes on pass pass pass. With the way he was emphasizing on his pass and his "filosofi" I'm tempted to think then that he normally uses mathematical calculation to know the passes and pass distance each player must make. Lol
Also, I remember him giving a room that attackers must trap (or take a touch) before taking a shot. All these are the systems I'm talking about. I remember man u played one of the most boring football in EPL then even though they finished 5th. But I get your point tho...








By the way, who's Martino??

I think the emtertainment aspect has to do with the league. Serie A is more entertaining than EPL. IMO
Tata Martino, former Barca coach. He took charge after Villanova i think .

What is it with you people and wanting everybody to score?


He's a defender for crying out loud. His job is to defend, keep clean sheets.

Ederson has assists, Neuer doesn't, does that make Ederson better than Neuer since he contributes goals to his team?


Evaluate a defender by his primary duty, defending. How good does he defend. And not how good he passes the ball or contribute in attack.

I've never seen anywhere where a forward is rated by his ability to help out his team defensively. It's always the other way around.

Easy with the obsession, abeg. Attacking returns should be a bonus, not a yardstick.

Mascherano played 7½ years for Barça and scored only one goal, which was a pk Messi dashed him since he was leaving. But because he scored one goal would anyone say he's not good enough?


Make I rest......

One thing you need to understand is that football has evolved. We are no more in the era of defenders just whooping the ball about. Why do you think most teams started playing from the back rather than the keeper whooping the ball up field.
I think you should take your time and watch arsenal and see how it matters so much for a defender to have ball playing ability. That is why some on this thread were reiterating that Ndidi should improve his passings.
And no, this doesn't mean I don't rate Ekong but the guy you quoted definitely has a point.

Jodera:
Ok...

So I recently watched arsenal 2003/2004 matches (extended highlights of all of them), and then I realize how far football has changed(as a whole, not just arsenal).

Football, I believe was suppose to be an art and entertainment(more of good individuals), but with the way things are now, it's all about the system(less of good individuals).

The team of 2003/2004 has a lot of creative players. Aside bergkamp(which is the obvious king), Vieira, Henry, Pires, Gilberto Silva were creative and exciting to watch. Football those days were exciting, as they were less boring game and nothing like low block defending.

But now, you see a player who's really creative sitting on the bench for a player who knows how to run around on the pitch.
You'll see a player who knows how to dribble(winger) sitting on the bench for one who knows how to defend(winger).
The game changed from art/entertainment to system/result driven at all cost. While I'm not begrudging the change, but I feel it makes football less entertaining unlike what we have 10-15years ago. The species of rosicky and bergkamp are going into extinction for the species of xhaka and elneny.

What is your view guys...
I would love to hear from some of you guys.

Spy360, Roland17, kokaneprodigy, iamoyindamola, Blueraydick , mostob, KBS, Akinbahm

I got your point bro. Infact I recently watch the 2006 WC match between France and Brazil.. One reason for the change is the revolution in coaching. There was a time Ferguson,Wenger,Mourinho,Martino et al were dominating but now younger coaches with crazy tactics have evolved..we have Julian,Pep,Arteta and so on.
These young coaches came with new ideas and inventions which totally eliminate some arts of football we usually noticed many years ago.

Seriously, she dem no go ban Bayern from football ? How can you just hammer a team 8-0.

Spy360:
Ozil was our sterling signing, our talisman until things started going south. He should be captain not Auba. But instead at a time Auba is heading towards legendary status, Ozil is being thrown out like a piece of old newspaper.

Ozil? captain?
Just tell me you're joking.
