Superman just previewed higher than Barbie and has the biggest opening night of 2025👀

So it will make Barbie kinda_Money?


Fingers crossed ...

germaphobe:
let's break this down. Nelli got 8 goals and 4 assist in 2299 minutes of epl games and madueke got 7 goals and 3 assist in 2047 minutes of epl games.
Nelli had 45 shots with 19 on target, madueke got 80 shots with 30 on target with less minutes.
Madueke makes more forward passes when i watch him(this is personal view) than nelli makes when i watch him. And unlike nelli who have lost his drive for dribbling and advancing forward under pressure when his speed alone can't help, madueke does the dribbling and advancing a lot. Like I said Madueke Is a good player that can still develop too, but the price is just a bit too high for me oo. Being a Chelsea player isn't even the issue for me.

In short breaths Nelli has what Madueke doesn't have and vice-versa... In order words we're stuck in same position with him neither improving team or worse buh £52m minus in the warchest...


What a good time...

iamoyindamola:
It's not mediocre to them
We are improving and if it takes 300 years to get there we are still improving because before he took over we are in our lowest down 🤣🤣

Nobody buys "hope he can be the go to guy" player for £52m and depth not even far richer clubs like PSG, United or Real...


Is he an upgrade on Nelli to you?

Roland17:
Like @iamoyindamola rightly put, this is now stale and has gathered serious mold!

We have now seen teams go out and hire coaches who did not need 6 years to be successful.

He is now 6 years into his tenure, will enter his 7th by 12 AM on December 2025.

Now a few 100s away from spending a billion (10s, if Gyokeres, Eze and Mosquera all go through)

2nd highest tenured in the EPL.

3rd highest earning coach in the world.

Talk another thing!

The Fanbase is the main problem Arsenal has they are okay with Mediocrity and very emotional... It's the Mentality for me.

"Winning trophies is about being in the right moment in the right place," he said. "Liverpool have won the title with less points than we have in the last two seasons. With the points of the past two seasons, we have two Premier League [titles]."
- Arteta, April 2025.

One of my friends I was lamenting to yesterday kept me quiet by asking 'na your 50M den wan give Chelsea for Madueke?', I have decided not to comment about it again, hoping he will perform well at Arsenal and keep me quiet permanently. I have also consoled myself with the depth we are going this window. If we can complete this 7 signings then we would have done well and addressed most of the complaints. Happy to also know that my bow Nwaneri is going nowhere.

That statement doesn't make any sense, United fans used to say such years ago now they are paying for their profligacy ( Sancho, Anthony, Kagawa etc.)... It stifled future spending when better opportunities/players comes up, asked an average United or Everton fans on X they know better ( years of intentional bad investment will always take it toll)...


The bills comes due...

TemporaryHansel:
You said it'll do a billion. Solid billion.

Don't backtrack.

Watch them shamefully backtrack with the International looking pale so far... It will even struggle to get past $600m with below $ 250m opening weekend...


We will be here...

Roland17:
I dey try calm down but that transfer dey pain me enter bone, I swear!

He's spending the future now when he leaves the next Coach will suffer it... Madueke stats as a left winger for Clubs and Country is Zero Goals and Assists, how is Madueke an upgrade on Nelli, I thought this transfer news on him coming was a joke to begin with and I won't blame Saka and Saliba if they decided not to renew cos they deserve better than this



They pay premium for incomings and sell on their players on cheap is not making sense at all

Roland17:
The obsession is wild and unexplainable. The worst part about these Chelsea transfers under Arteta, is the irresponsible amount we pay for them.

We took Gbavertz for 65M, made him the highest paid and now an excess of 50M, 50 freaking million for Madueke!

Even though I predicted it, I am really struggling with it.

Cool down, let him be unfortunate... In local parlance we say " Person wey dey wan fry, wey still dey rub oil for body" ....


God go spare us all...

iamoyindamola:
That super falcon coach is clueless
That's the issue I have with local coaches, very biased and not creative

They're playing what they call "Expressive football"a.k.a. Kick and Follow ...


It's for those get Mind and Money_burning 💰 ( Data).... They make European Women look like Men's

Frida Manuum scored 2 goals for Norway v Iceland... As Falcons is giving local man Headaches, I kukuma port...

Shegzdave:
You’re right
That £1M means the girl is very good

She's better than what we currently have in Kelly, Mead and Foord and very young experienced pacy player not sure she's better than Kafaji who hasn't hit the ground running yet... Would have preferred Buhl or Cascarino if that kind of money would be spent...

iamoyindamola:
Chelsea signed a defender last season for 1.1m
Search Naomi Girma



I just read Naomi deal was broken down to 900k and add on worth 200

No, the fee for Girma was in dollars $1.1m ( in Pounds is £900k) I.e. the first million dollars female player... This the first 1 million pounds plus player £1m..

It's the currency that confuses some e.g Zubimendi is €60m ( Euros) buh in Pounds £51m...

Shegzdave:
The fee I think, World record fee of £1m?

Yes, for Women's games... Life's level by level, if you watch NBA, NFL and their salary too you will be shocked eg. SGA just signed a Super Max Contract where he will be earning like $1.5m per game @ $286m/ 3 years deal and Jokic is even due for bigger cap next year...


All na levels ooo...

Shegzdave:
This sounds funny to Me sha😂

How, Mr Shegz?

🚨 Arsenal Women have agreed a world-record £1m transfer fee with Liverpool for forward Olivia Smith (20), the Guardian understands. Smith is set to become the world’s first women’s player to break the £1m barrier. 🤯🇨🇦

An excellent player, a needle mover, break-neck dribbler wanted by more than 10 clubs in NWSL ( USA), Lyon, PSG, City and Chelsea with varying bids buh the only players I would probably pay that kind of money for is Buhl, Cascarino, Alyssa Thompson or Sofia Smith ( who is pregnant by the way, Shame)

Katcall:
what will Arteta do with too many midfielders

Too Many, After Losing Jorginho and Partey? In fact Spurs just add Gibbs-White and Kudus... Not enough for me

🚨Arsenal announce their third signing of the summer with Christian Norgaard joining from Brentford in a deal worth £10million.

The Danish midfielder will wear the number 16.


Nørgaard on joining Arsenal: “You can get almost emotional because maybe it was a dream that I've given a little bit up on coming towards the later stage in my career,”

“Now, I get to hear the anthem and be a part of a Champions League campaign. It's a childhood dream and something I didn't think would be possible. So it's something I'm really, really happy about.”

Nørgaard on his style of Play: “It's developed a little bit over the years. I started as a more offensive player and now I'm a bit more of a holding midfielder. It's important for me that a team has a good defensive structure and hopefully I can contribute to that.

“Then coming off a season where I've had a lot of goal involvements, it's something I really hope I can take into this season as well.

“I don't know what the gaffer’s plans are with me, but hopefully I can also have some freedom to join the offensive play.”

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

He's a CB by trade even for Holland they don't put him at RB buh Arteta likes and trusts only Goliath ( can't blame him though) for that position look at the targeted Mosquera tooo....

Can he unsurp Timber?

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

iamoyindamola:
Omo Russo is back on track
I overrated those oranje ladies, they will eventually lose out
Told you mediema is done

It's not about Miedema is done, they played conservatively priming for counter attack reasons they didn't start De donk going with Grants ( a faster and younger player) which backfires... Example is England first game where their midfield collapsed Russo was also horrible in that match due primarily to lack of supply and even gave the ball away for the second goal England conceded...


Miedema was even UEFA player of the match v Wales... the approach let them down today

The movie did well at the box office, and even made a profit, which is, the essence of making movies, even though people criticize it, I absolutely love it.

You might be a one in a million, truly!


A Gold ( a friend in needs kind) ....

3 Assists no be waza, Lessie the baller... Pelova ball buh today wasn't her day in very terrible Orange Ladies output...

iamoyindamola:
After missing tons, that lady is something else
She's only good with head

Not really, her run, pace in behind and ability to fashion out chances for herself is second to none in womens games reminds me of Isak, Torres only being lethal like them remains... It's easy to say she misses chances because she creates a load of them herself through her movements put another player there and you might not even get a chance created talk of missing them...



She's a proper no 9...

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

I don't think so but you never know sha....McCabe is the 2nd Vice Captain, Catley is Leah patner Left CB, Nighwonger ( US international)... The team reminds me of Arteta LB Conglomerate


Stina the Ballerina just scored her 40th international goal right now

DieRich5:
If Superman nor hit $800m, all this hype will be wasted

You should remember " Do you bleed" debacles very well... No be today actually

Awa Ikorodu box office analyst said it's $1B... It's will soon get Salty!!!

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

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...

iamoyindamola:
Marionna just scored for Spain
Bomatti entered at the start of second half
Putellas also scored brace and assisted 2

Msgamble9 you might be right putellas is looking like the stronger contender

She ( Putellas) had a better season stat-wise than Bonmati buh marginally less than Super Mario... She looks driven and possessed probably at pain for missing last Euro...


Marionna played very well yesterday and she won BBC, ITV and ESPN's player of match buh UEFA give it own to Putellas ( 2 G and A)

BOX OFFICE QUEEN 👑👑

Scarlett Johansson is now the highest-grossing actor of all time at the worldwide box office.

Simply Class!!!!

iamoyindamola:
Martinelli is only key in defensive unit, he's becoming useless in his main role
Arteta have to be ruthless with him if he wants to achieve his goal

I think she is right, sadly both Nelli and Kai are the most important players for the team forward press... It was glaring during the UCL semis when Arsenal couldn't effectively press PSG build up play from Vitinha and co


We badly need an upgrade maybe not Eze due only to his injury records not qualities...Why are they ignoring Kudus though?
