Shegzdave:
Cala is more like Gvardiol sha

Yea.. Attackers who mistakenly became defenders

#Arsenal have agreed the first £1m transfer fee in women’s football after Liverpool accepted a world-record offer for the Canada forward Olivia Smith. [@TomJGarry] #arsenalfanaticsnews

The men team dey raid Chelsea, the women team dey raid Liverpool. What a bullish club! 😂

WarHammer2000:
Where can one watch the Super Falcons game this evening?

Co-ask.
All the sites suggested so far ain't working

Katcall:
he is a left sided centre back

He doesn't look like a CB to me... His technique is too complex. He roams a lot and I'm afraid he may leave the defence exposed during one of his roams

BankyGee:
Ah. I don enter today 😂

I'm sorry sir 😂

😂😂

MSGAMBLE9:
He has it in him... he's more telepathic sync in movement with Saka and Odegaard....

Timber is too calm for a FB. His height is the reason he is playing at FB. His game is too calm and calculative.

Shegzdave:
I think he can
He and Saka have this understanding when playing

True... They both have this telepathic understanding. BTW, It is good to have 3 solid FBs. Myles, White and Timber.
Calafiori doesn't look like a FB to me. He is one player i still can't understand his perfect role in the team.

Who are you most excited to see?

Ben White :

Can he unsurp Timber?

Baller

MSGAMBLE9:
Achalugo? Liverpool get them plenty really... But me am looking forward to signing that improve the team from last Season and she's not it... Good for depth and can provide relief for Foxy buh like the men's team they now have 4 LB ( McCabe, Catley, Nighwonger and Hinds) when CB, DM and at least a Winger deficiency lay bare...


Whatever Wheatley is cooking better be good...

Maybe.. Just maybe one of the LBs is planning to leave.

Guess who

BankyGee:
We were all here when every single person on this thread (except me and sir Goke7 of course) were lamenting and calling him all sorts of names because of a "rumor," as in a rumor, that he has accepted to go to Saudi Arabia to play for Al-Hilal. Those same set of people are still saying that he should've gone to Saudi Arabia 😂

On this thread I think people here have quadruple standards, because double standards will sound like an oversimplification at this point!

As how? You will hear from my lawyer

Truidstarr:
The very first one.

ok thanks

Another Achalugo has been added to the group. This time, it is another free agent from Liverpool.

Conversations around Onyenezide on this space isn't new. It comes around quite often every now and then. So this isn't particularly a dig at you but at the subject.

First, you'll notice I said most who make these claims haven't even watched said players play in upwards of a year. So the entire premise of their argument is based on nostalgia and I dare say ignorance of the game of football. It is similar to those who advocate for the inclusion of Nwakali ing the Super Eagles based in what they saw him do years ago at the u-17 championship, and most of these folks haven't followed his club career.

Age grade football isn't the same as club/national team football. You're literally playing against teenagers in these competitions and these platforms tend to make certain players look better than they really are. National team/club football offers players opportunities to show they are not just potentials but can own their own against the best in the world. Christantus Macaulay was the best player at the u-17 competition years ago, but couldn't replicate the same thing at club football and that was the last we heard of him

Let's talk about Esther, she's has featured in at least 5 games for the Super Falcons and played in at least 3 of them. She's trained under at least 2 different head coaches and participated in multiple training sessions. If these coaches still do not invite her when it matters shouldn't that be a signal that that know better than we do and she just hasn't impressed them enough to make the team? In contrast, Deborah Abiodun only needed one game to impress not just the coaches but the entire nation. Just one (and she was in college). Jennifer Echegini was also in college and didn't need too many games to convince. Now they are both signed to top teams in the USA and France.

She left Nigeria to Spain and Joined Madrid CFF on a 3 year deal. She played in just 1 game th entire season. This is the same Madrid CFF that played 15 year old Vicky Lopez because she was that good so her age or height couldn't have been the reason. Multiple coaches reaching the same conclusions is enough for us to consider, maybe they know something most of us don't.

Esther is now in Israel and getting enough playing time. My hope is that she grows and develops to a point where she's just too good to be ignored. She'll obviously garner more interest from better competitive leagues with guaranteed playing time. Till then she should be allowed to grow and not included in Super Falcons conversations every market day.

(BTW, same sentiments applies to Opeyemi Ajakaye and Flourish Sebastian)

Your 4th paragraph is just a mere say. It is not foolproof enough to buttress your point.
Coaches always have their favourites. I'm not part of Team Esther but how many times did Randy left out Rinsola? What of Ucheibe? An injury was what forced Randy's hand to play Ucheibe. What of Nicole Payne? Even when we're practically short in her position.

Just gotta point that out.

Deltamani:
But why this Man Dey Play Ajibade for midfield??
We have Toni Payne and Onyi Echegini in the squad, what’s wrong?

The decision to play Payne on the Right wing is a disaster already as she has never performed well for Nigeria playing from the Wing… The Midfield has been her best position for Nigeria!

IMO, Ajibade seems to be the best of the trio in midfield. Tony sometimes get outmuscled and Joe has a different profile. I see her more as an SS than an actual midfielder.

MSGAMBLE9:
He had doubts about himself playing under pressure at highly demanding scenery like Arsenal then and that's not good sign at all ...

His biggest flaw... That mentality aspect is still not mature yet.

Heard Gyokeres decides to give up his salary just to get his move. About 2m o. What's going on?

GeneralDae:
I think they saw they could manipulate the referee with it, so they just fired on.
The Plumptre goal also was actually a goal.

Yea Yea... Nice point there. Could be manipulation truly

Very nice goal by Plumptre.. Disallowing that goal is criminal

Am I the only one frustrated by the frequent blow from the refs for simple nudges (specifically by Ihezuo)..

Shey those opponents no chop come field ni?
Football is a contact sport that's why gym is part of fitness routines.

Truidstarr:
welcome bro.

which of them please

COOL10:
Ashleigh Plumptre was definitely the woman of the match, for me. Her touches, her passes, her crosses, her movement and her positioning were all on point.

This is one of the best matches I've seen her play for the Falcons. Superb performance from a very technical player.

She is in another level... Her intelligence, passes, crosses, touches and decision making were superb.

MSGAMBLE9:
Am thinking it's Leipzig not wanting to budge on it demands even though their financial situation is tight right now... They are part of the "exclusive unfortunate clubs" nobody wants to do businesses with except it's necessary....

Yea but Sesko was reluctant as well. Remember we went for him last summer as well but he chose to sign a new contract.

Any link abeg

Link abeg na

MSGAMBLE9:
It might be due to style of play at Sporting CP, most times they rely on fast break there ( counter attacking football)...


Either him or Sesko, I don't mind now....

Yeah maybe

..Anyone of them is good.

MSGAMBLE9:
Easy-buy mostly likely not to drop the money all at once ... It's the theme of transfers dealings these days

yea.. To avoid FFP and save money for other deals

🚨 Arsenal had still been at least €10m away from Leipzig’s valuation on Benjamin Sesko, with the German club wanting €40m of the release clause up front & around €40m split over fewer instalments.

Andrea Berta specifically felt Leipzig’s demands was too high a figure. A further issue is that Arsenal hadn’t agreed a final package with Sesko’s camp for the player’s terms, with the impasse lasting right up to last week.

It is understood that Arsenal got increasingly frustrated with the pace of negotiations & with Sesko’s camp, which has been a key factor in the evolution of their striker pursuit.

Mikel Arteta, keen to avoid a drawn-out saga, pushed for the club to explore other options more actively. Arteta wanted a striker in before pre-season properly started, which is one reason for the sudden advancement. [@MiguelDelaney] #arsenalfanaticsnews

That last paragraph though

Danielnino00:
These two apps.... They'll show it 100%

Thank you

MSGAMBLE9:
We welcome him... His club really did themselves dirty in today's market bar the release clause he will mostly net them atleast £80m ...


Hope he settles in fast...

We're paying more than the release clause. Easy-buy method sha.
His deal started last summer when Edu was working on Merino. Jason and King finalized it in January.

MSGAMBLE9:
They may soon be getting their man


🚨 Arsenal in advanced talks with Sporting Lisbon over deal to sign Viktor Gyokeres. Transfer fee discussions continue but personal terms in place on 5yr contract. 27yo #SportingCP striker only wants #AFC. Arteta pushing for swift conclusion - David Ornstein

58m with add-ons totalling 10m or so.

But the fact that he doesn't score inside box dey worry me. I don watch YouTube compilation tire, no headed goals
