Mehn, I get all the hype behind Samu (which is well deserved), but I think our (my ) best player has been Ndidi. This Man is Mr. consistent, and it pains me that he does not get the hype he deserves. If he was a South American or a player from Europe, Omo, nobody go hear word. He is the closest player to being World Class in the SE squad (My opinion, you don't have to agree). Imagine Declan Rice that is not that special is being hailed as if he is the next Gattuso, whereas, Ndidi is only 3yrs older and a far, far better player.

Samu has a bright future ahead of him, along with our other youngsters, that is if they work hard. But, Ndidi is looking the real deal.

To me, I don't see any DM in the EPL that is far better than him. Yes, Fernandinho is a beast in city, but if Ndidi plays under Pep, I can beat my chest and declare he'll be far better than Fernandinho has ever been. Remember, Fed was not this good before Pep imapcted his knowledge (bald head to bald head )

Another coach that will improve him is Klopp, unfortunately they already have Fabinho.


Correct me if I'm wrong, but I've never watched Ndidi play a bad game. If he continues like this, in two or three years he will among the best 5 players in his position.

I just pray, and hope he does not make a bad career decision or Injury (village people) does not stall his progress. At 22, my guy is this good. Omo, I can't wait until he reaches his peak. Other midfielders go they cry before match start.

I saw a comment on which midfield pair is better, 2013 or 2019.

To be honest, Mikel was very good in 2013, Onazi tried, too. But till date, I don't rate Onazi has a player. I don't know what position he plays or what he is good at (apart from killing fans with wayward shots). If Ndidi and Etebo win the cup, they'll be a better pairing to me. However, I'm not taking anything way from Mike's excellent performance that year (I think he was nominated for CAF African best that year, ba?)

In conclusion, I can't vwait to see what the future holds for our boy, the destroyer of legs, he that is slimmer than bonga fish but stronger than Olumo rock, he will chase you and get stuck to you like fish wey hook for neck, because he is Wilfred Ndidi.


Forgive me for my dry joke ls

By the way, Algeria, una go hear am.

Up Super Eagles!

....Bro, the thing truly dey somehow but I think it's the new policy of the club. They're building for the long term since buying supposed established players didn't really work during the tail end of Wenger's reign. Now, we have deadwoods that have become near impossible to sell.

.....I don't think one year will kill us and should we leave him and another team gets him, he then becomes another Van Dirk tomorrow, Arsenal fans won't let us hear the last of it. It's a good deal since he will be staying in France for a year, so we will pay more than 85% of the transfer fee when he joins fully next season. It doesn't eat too much into our transfer budget but we will have an amazing defender who will most likely pair with Holdini for seasons to come and a player we can make huge profit from should we decide to sell.

.... It's an amazing work by Raul and his team, kudos to them. Now, get Tierney, Zaha and hopefully a central midfielder. A defensive signing will depend on player sales. That won't be a bad window.

Bro, I understand they are planning for the long term now, unlike before. But the transfer is just funny. I don't want to watch our clowns defend this season. Those should be offered to any club, even if we have to pay Maybe we can scam maga United to take two or three as bonanza.

Meanwhile, I don't want to have any expectations this window. Anything they like, they should do. Apart from United, we are the next club who usually have random names attached to us. In the space of two months, we have gone from Fraser to crassco to Zaha to Malcom, so other people are still there like brahimi. Abeg, I no fit. If they like, they should sign Fookin No Wan from South Korean, it's their problem.

solomonbrown64:
...... Tier 2 --- [Bouhafsi] William #Saliba at #Arsenal it burns! Arsenal and #ASSE have reached an agreement around 30M €! The 2 clubs are still discussing transfer bonuses. It may take a few more hours, days. The player already agrees with Arsenal. He will stay at ASSE one season. #RMCsport. ....

To be honest, this Saliba transfer is somehow. We need a defender, we are buying a defender, but the defender will not join until next season

Dreamswayne:
Carassco... Good player but has a questionable mentality...

Fekir... Good player with a time bomb of a knee...


Malcom... Certainly not the pacy, powerful, technical winger we need...


Still a good shout though and better than anything we have currently...

I don't understand this Fekir narrative. This guy has played a 78 games (excluding internationals) in the last two seasons. How can such a player have a ticking time bomb in his knee?

Most people on Twitter are just pushing the narrative that he has a ticking time bomb in his knee, because of what happened with his Liverpool transfer. The same people are forgetting that Liverpool also did the same to Loic Remy a few years ago, and Baba went to Chelsea to win the league.

For me, the reason most clubs aren't going for him is because of his position - 10. Like we have said, the position is dying in modern football. Most top clubs now play 4-3-3. And, it will take a lot of effort to convert a 10 to a normal box-box mid.

Well, that's my opinion Sha.

But honestly, that ticking time bomb narrative is totally not true.

BlueRayDick:
Why do I have a feeling Emery will win premiership this season

Nickshrapnel:
Turns out Mysterio was lying all along!

Is this a surprise?

We will do better next season...

I hope so too. I'm a supporter true and true. It's just that I'm calling it as I see it. We are on the decline, and it does not seem as if we'll be able to get out of it anytime soon. Well, all clubs hav their bad phase. Hopefully, the good times will return soon.

iamoyindamola:
once I remember ozil,xhaka and mustafi will rock this jersey the whole hype disappear

These three in one team . Omo... We get team Sha.

Fkhalifa:
And you want fans like me to be optimistic abi..
First game at Newcastle is draw or lose or a hypertensive victory...

Well fans will be happy about the new kit, like we are competiting for most fashionable fc.

As fine as that kit is, I won't buy it. I can't contribute to Stan's pocket, lailai. If they like, they can lose the opening game of the season, it's their business. But one thing I know is that we can't make top 4 this season, especially if our rivals strengthen.

The only miracle that can happen is our youth players do a Mpabbe or Sancho. Coupled with us buying rare gems with our 40m (lol). The odds of that happening is very slim though.

Sidon look mode activated ooo... I cannot come and kill myself.

To be honest, I don't care whether we sign players this window. The club is already a joke, so it doesn't matter. However, I'll support the club nonetheless. I know that one day, the club will be okay again. By God's grace, we'll be alive to see that day.


On a side note, United has already spent more than our reported transfer budget, and on just one player . Common West Ham has spent more than half of our budget on just one player, too.

Next season will be wonderful

iamoyindamola:
so why are they still waiting for July 1, after the whole world already know everything about the kits.
No new players to model it

Their contact with puma has not expired yet, hence they can't 'officially' reveal the kit until then. Unless they want to spend their £40m on legal issues

If one study the report well, they will notice the difference between male and female in other countries is significantly large. Unlike Nigeria where the difference is minute. This shows that what is affecting the male population is also affecting the females, too. Your guess is as good as mine on his what it is.

safarigirl:
USA U16 female Basketball team played against El Salvador's female U16 Basketball team

Look atthe injustice, if these were Africans, somebody would have been talking smack about age.

USA won 114-19

The first girl in the El Salvador team already gave up... Mehn, it is highly unfair. In fact, that El Salvador could score 19 points, they won the match.

CosmicPhoenix:

$3b is a stretch if you ask me

Depends on how 'Epic' the additional scenes are... Although it's unlikely, who knows what will happen?

losprince:
Don't get ahead of yourself, movie goers know that this is nothing but a desperate move. It will be a miracle if the re-release brings in 38 million dollars.

Well, I said "Might" not "will". And, you can never tell. Bandwagon effect is a thing. If it's a worldwide release, and the additional footage is good, you can't tell what will happen. Because, other movies made smaller cash after a rerelease does not mean End game will not make a lot of cash. Anything can happen.

CosmicPhoenix:

Endgame will reportedly have 6 minutes of additional footage

It will definitely crush Avatar's record... Who knows, $3b might be a possibility.

kokaneprodigy:
rule number 1 never pity these scummies.

When we told them they were setting a bad precedence by splashing money upandan they called us haters asking if it’s our money.

My only advice is for them to save their energy for premium wailing when the season kicks off.

BlueRayDick:

Go and check fifa website and come back to admit Ur error. Na U-20 world cup. Even wikipedia says its u-20

Spy is talking about the Euros not the world cup.

As much as it gives me great pleasure to see United suffer, I can't help but pity you guys. Imagine, West Ham and Leicester are using a whole United to catch trips.

It's unfortunate that a club can have so much money, yet they can't buy smartly like other clubs, because of an Incompetent (Football matters) head. If you guys buy Diop or Maguire for over £70m, forget it. Every club will scam you guys forever, at until you people grow sense.

If I was Ole, I would have sacked every scout in the club, because they're Uber useless. Instead of united to raid South America for young talents, they're wasting time with English players


There are so many good players in Spain, Germany, Italy, Holland, and Portugal, and they are cheap, too. No be everything be 'big name signing'.

Apart from Alison who distinguished himself in his last season with Roman, who among Liverpool players can be considered world class before they joined? Before some people say VVD, check well. His game reached another dimension in Liverpool.

Another thing I've noticed, the money in EPL is too much. No wonder small clubs can demand for outrageous fees. Very soon, players will be running down their contracts in small clubs, or they will be demanding outrageous wages, too. You can't tell me I'm worth 75m, yet you are paying me 50k. It's not possible ooo

Although I like the guy, Ole is setting himself up for an Epic fail of a season. I actually thought baba would do massive clear out this summer, but even Mata has gotten a reported 3yr deal


Well, as a rival, I'm enjoying every second of it. More years to young , Jones and Smalling's contracts. Jesse "Beans, Beans, Beans" Lingard for Captain. Marcus "Fans killer" Rashford should be given 419k per week. Unlike other clubs, Arsenal won't do United dirty. Please come and take Mustafi and Ozil. Just give us 30m Pete. Good deal, right?

attack wise his average though
I like his long legs
dribbles a bit like Zaha
his crossing is poor Sha
but better than AY

All this £60m... Nah... Crystal Palace should ask for £80m. We're United. We can pay it.

solomonbrown64:
....Lol... hilarious. You guys keep saying this thing that Kroenke don't put in money and all that but how much has Liverpool owners put in the club Bro, check how much we have spent the last five to six years and ask yourself if it isn't enough to build a quality team. Kroenke isn't involved in the day to day activities of the club and employed people for that role. But what did those in power do with our money and how did they raise money too?

.... Liverpool sell players for good prices and reinvest because they have a working board and a philosophy which Klopp is following. The board buy players and they have a wonderful scout system but ours is nothing to write home about. Wenger had too much power and wouldn't sell his players unless the ones he didn't like or when the club really needed to raise money. If we had made better decisions with both sales of players and buying and also with team management, I assure you we would have won at least two league titles in the last seven years.

....The new board know this and are trying really hard to overturn the mess of the previous board. It will take time but at least we have a direction now. Liverpool had a plan and stuck with it, we had a failing system but instead of restarting we decided to continue and now, look at where we are today. I just wanted to correct this notion that Kroenke doesn't spend, not his fan at all but that isn't the problem of the team.

I understand everything you're saying, but I don't agree on the part that FSG did not spend money for Liverpool. Have you forgotten about the pre Klopp era? When Liverpool we're buying useless players up and down for insane amount of money. During that same period they were not in the champions league ooo, and they were not selling like now.

Do you know how much Stan is spending on the Rams? It's like all those Nollywood movies were the second wife of a rich man will be treating the son (Arsenal) of the dead first wife anyhow, while her own son (Rams) gets the best of everything.

I understand what the new guys are trying to do, but it will take time. But will they still have the same fan base when they are finally ready? Don't forget the Mega rich clubs will continue to get better. Clubs with new sugar daddies will spring up, too. So, if we don't get it right in the next couple of windows. Then, they're finished ooo.


People keep talking about history, they're forgetting that with each win, teams like Chelsea and city are forming their own history. 10-15 years from now, I doubt if any arsenal fan will be able to talk when City or Chelsea fans are talking.

sod09:
confirm why did it take you guys so long to see the light

My brother, I've seen the light since 2010. I know the kind of team I support. After the nonsense of 2015/2016 season, nothing, I repeat, nothing about this club can surprise me again.

iPopAlomo:
Bruv... Emery is the problem... If we get Zaha... Do you think Emery can manage him...?!!

Benitez, Simeone and sadly Mourinho are the only people that can take Arsenal to any level right now...

Forget those guys you called. Stan will never call them because of their wages. You guys should not let Arsenal disturb you at all. Unless you started supporting the club in the last 2-4yrs, you should be used to their nonsense already.

The club is not ready for anything. I blame the UK fans who keep lining Stan's pocket with £££. They are not ready yet. A owner who has not dropped a penny since he entered the club. How can I be more passionate of something than the owner? Am I not doing myself? Roman Ab show face y.day, but Stan was chilling in America with big booty hoes thunder will fire that guy.


Unless we buy extremely talented rare gems in the next two-three transfer windows, forget it. Arsenal will soon go the way of most fallen gaints.


The board and Stan are probably banking on the blind loyalty of most fans, but they are forgetting that humans have a breaking point. And, most Arsenal fans have gotten to that point. Small, small, you'll see fans porting to teams like city, Liverpool and Barca.

If it's not foolishness, I wonder how a fan will pay the highest season ticket to watch a Europa League team.

I can't come and kill myself on millionaires. If they like, they should win or not, it's their business.

Roland17:
Ermmmm, I thought I was reading where people were claiming we are going to spend over 100 million in the transfer market? When pesin dey tell una truth, una go dey believe imaginary thoughts. We go lucky if we even see 40 million after sales.

Arsenal is in deep shit, they just don't know yet. All the top 4 (-Chelsea) will spend this summer. United will spend, Wolves have ambition of going to UCL. Don't forget that Newcastle just got a new sugar daddy mehn... In two or three years, we won't even be in the discussion for Europa League. If Spurs want to show us pepper now, they should win the UCL on Saturday

B.Tech Louis Saha and Gabonese Phyno with their usual Alhaji handshake

I thought it would be another dry yanbaba (I don't know if that correct) thread.


Bros, Yanbaba. No vex ooo. Your jokes dey dry most times.

NACE13:
I am not saying he didn't but he also has EPL top six to thank. I remember all six teams were having serious issues well, except Arsenal I think.
If he had done same with the current Man city, Liverpool and Tot'ham, then I'd say yes he did

Yes, all the big teams were below par that season. But, winning a 38 game season is not something that should be underestimated. That the big teams underperformed is not Leicester's business. How come none of the other good teams (-the big 6) took advantage? And only a team - purposed relegation candidates, took advantage.

I understand what you are saying, but it's not an excuse. It's just like saying Uruguay does not deserve to be called world champions, since only a few teams participated in the first world cup.

sleek82:
As much as I will accept all other things you put forward, please don't say any manager can win the EPL with Leicester city using the right squad....Raineri did the unthinkable winning with that squad, please give it to him. Because he did it and it looked that simple doesn't mean any other manager can do such! At the time he won it, the odds were 50:1....that's unthinkable, unimaginable!

Start of the season, the odds were 5000:1, not 50:1. Leicester was almost relegated the previous season.


The man really did the unthinkable.

Fkhalifa:
Amen.
Wingers does it this days,...

Mhicky,Ozil,Ramsey and welbeck..going and gone
Bring in 2 or all of this 3..Zaha,ziyech and carrasco

Sell xhaka and elneny bring in Thomas partey and Rabiot..

Sell jekinson and litcterner, bring in young player from Afcon...and I'll be excited going into the season.

Mehn Thomas is a beast ooo... If Pep handle that guy, Fernandinho will look like a small boy in comparison.

BlueRayDick:
Exactly the reason why uefa should move the match to another venue . Sports should be a unifying factor. Are we going to pretend if it were English players that are affected the whole thing will just be allowed to pass like that ?

They know and don't Care. It's all about the money. If an Armenian team reached the final nkor? Would they say they can ensure their safety. Those UEFA guys to care at all. I pity Miki though. Nobody should miss a final because of their nationality. He should just chill in London and hope for the best
