I believe the "never seeks the limelight" tag refers to his time as a player and not in his current disposition! His job as a pundit/newspaper columnist is good, honest, well paid work of which he is qualified to do as an ex legend of the game! I'm sure even you would not begrudge him such! NIHILIST! You are the only 1 on earth who thinks LAMPS is a better "FOOTBALL player" than SCHOLESY! Sorry to burst your bubble! There is NO COMPARISON! Give it a rest!

The only people that would rate Lampard over Scholes are the shekpe vermins. I didn't even bother with the argument. It's like saying Lampard is better than Xavi club-wise coz of his goals. Any day Lampard is compared with Scholes amongst neutral fans and ex-footballers worldwide, Scholesy Baba will wipe the floor with Lamp's name!! If midfield generals like Xavi, Ronaldinho, Zidane, Edgar Davids and co, could pick the Ginger Fella, who the fúck cares about Shekpe vermins' opinions? Imagine one of them saying coz Scholes is a football pundit and has column in a newspaper, he sought the limelight. Maybe he expected Scholes to get holed up in his room playing PS4 all the days of his remain life before he'll agree Scholes never seek the limelight. Illiteracy is a disease!!

booked
e no go funny this time

Chelseafan1:
Our season is starting proper this week

Old things have passed away with the Intl break, can't u see Eden has been scoring for fun for Belgium....

dopeJemi:
I talk am say na the IN be your problem, you no dey hear say na mistake

dopeJemi:
Depay- 4goals... 2 to 3 assists


Hidden- 0goals... 2 assists

Proves my assertion

PietroRico:
words, words, words, No meaning!


elfeminine, what exactly is your point? Are u saying he isn't a prospect? Or he is a prospect that was mistaken to be a finished product by United fans?

sinizia:
Young's career is over. Depay is a fùcking genius!!


What a goal!!

AncientJerk:
when people say things like this i'm baffled. Memphis isn't some academy player rising through the ranks this is a guy who tore up the dutch league two seasons in a row and played all the way up to the world cup semi-final for one of the better teams in international football.

Granted the Dutch league is not the premier league but neither was the French league when Hazard signed from Lille at a similar age to Mempis. The point is, this guy is already a proven talent whether you like it or not and so the Hazard comparisons are actually not that off the mark. Now if it were Januzaj being compared with Hazard i could understand the umbrage but Memphis Depay is a different class.

dopeJemi:
Depay does what hazard doesn't, dribbles, scores and assists

AdeLaNa1:
Those dat compared him to C.Ro know demselves. I was never on dat bandwagon. They're the ones that knew wat was going on in their heads wen they were making the comparisons.

I was only happy we bought a promising young winger who looked like he could fill the viid left behind by C.Ro! I'n not really concerned yet as its his first season and he still has a long way to go. But the nigga really needs some vacation on the bench.

Speaking of Otu, i dey wait for who una go blame if una fail to win Villa dis weekend. Just pray say una no lose sha.
I've had two weeks to gather fresh Gifs and Memes. If una lose ehn, o ma bloody gan

PietroRico:
What's with the exaggeration of the Depay issue
He wasn't a mega money buy
He was bought as a prospect and never as a finished product. ..

If he ends up destroying his career with his own hands, there's no big deal about it
He'll be moved on
He'll not be the first, neither will he be the last..


It's still even too early for all of this

AdeLaNa1:
Sharap there. As bad as those stats are, he's still 21 and still in his first season for United. There's plenty of time for him to develop.

But its pple like u and d press dat hinder the development of young players as u continually breath down there necks and chastise them from how they kick the ball to how they tie their laces.

We ve to gve these young players more breathing space and less hype and they'll perform.

Chelseafan1:
Chelsea, Arsenal and Man city straight win...100k to win 250k

No time.

Leyqute:
It's a pity, the English FA really need to get their heads out of their asses. They're the main reason the country is performing so poorly at the moment in comparison with its European counterparts - club level included.

They need to reduce their greed for money and think about what's best for their nation.

P.S: - Ronald Koeman keeps replenishing his squad even after losing some good players to other clubs, how does he do it?

pamcode:
most of those guys you mentioned above made their debut not less than 4-5 seasons ago.Currently the way football is evolving it would be a survival of the luckiest not of the best.Dev of youngsters would come to lie solely on clubs that arent in the first-tier of top leagues or clubs from weaker leagues.Academies would just be to select the lucky ones and try incoporate the ones that manageto fly all hurldes.

Those are Jada fire's boobs or maseratti's boobs

raumdeuter:
Bayern - Muller, lahm, Schweinsteiger(last season), Alaba. 4/11
Barca - Messi, Pique, Busquets, Iniesta 4/11
Dont know about Juve and PSG

But for Chelsea how many can we point to? or Man City that was second

If we go further and look atthe England team that played Lithuania yesterday, more than half of the 20 man squad have never played a CL game I am sure you cant find as many with France, germany, Spain or even Italy

Leyqute:
Okay, well.

However eye sample or stats cannot totally guarantee if a new player will perform well or not. Apart from new signings, a good coach should rely on the academy to spurn out new talents who'll take over from the old legs. This process is getting extinct in the EPL and is the main reason why English players aren't as good as their European counterparts in recent time.

raumdeuter:
Yes they are a big club in hibernation

raumdeuter:
Football in Europe didnt start the day Roman bought Chelsea, Thats what you Chelsea fans fail to realize

Some people have been playing and winning and have a higher chance of winning than you people

Real madrid 1 CL in 10yrs, 10 CL in 60yrs, bayern 1 CL in 10 yrs, 5 CL in 60yrs

Chelsea 1 CL in 10yrs, 1 CL in 60yrs.

Spot the difference

CHelsea fans wished football started 10yrs ago just like Leicester City fans wished EPL ended 4 weeks ago

raumdeuter:
A big club is one who has more than 1 CL since the history of the competition. AC Milan, Madrid has 1 CL in the past 10yrs but cant be compared to a Liliputan like Chelsea even though Chelsea has the same

To qualify as a big club as a start you need to win more than 1 CL

raumdeuter:
1 CL in 60 years same as Red Star belgrade, Steau Bucharest and Aston Villa

raumdeuter:
I am sure if you give Bayern the option of scoring 5 and letting Arsenal score 2 they would take it right now even if the 2 goals they dribble our 11 players 4 times

We are a BIG club we are after the big picture like winning trophies not senseless brownie points like EPL fans. Who would celebrate a "We scored against Bayern" trophy, "John terry was MOTM vs Ecuador" Trophy, "We have the highest number of fans in Nigeria" trophy, "Na our jersey fine pass" trophy

mightyhaze:
haha! Nihilist.

ElFenomeno1:
First to qualify, first to exit!
Useless team.
