Manchester United are interested in signing Issa Diop and they are willing to pay in excess of £45m plus a player for the West Ham defender, according to Sky sources.

The Hammers have let it be known that Diop is not for sale and it is believed they would not even listen to offers of less than £60m.

Diop played 38 times last season after moving to the London Stadium from Toulouse last summer for £22m.

United want to sign a centre back this summer. They have been told by Napoli that Kalidou Koulibaly would cost about £100m while Leicester City value Harry Maguire at £80m.

I honestly pity Ed. The moment United is mentioned, boom! Price would skyrocket by 300%. A Player bought for £22m is now worth £60m?!

Exposing our defence? 3-5-2 if played well is Iron gate

It wouldn't offer you much offensively though

Remember we will be playing with Wingbacks..... Attack-minded FBs. LVG succeeded with the Formation at the World Cup, but failed miserably with it at United.

wayodude:
Nah I no gree that one. Good is NOT average. Even person here say Burundi fit beat us.

Make Una dey fear God lol

......but we are happily believing they've reached the stardoms already.

That are my Words.

They are average at best (good), not a star-studded Squad as many of you are portraying it. It's left for you to keep getting yourself confused, by looking for what's not lost.

Earthquake3:
It's not eye candy but it's effective

At the World Bruh.... This is AFCON, we shouldn't risk exposing our Defence, even though we are playing 3-Man CBs.

Odunayaw:
Seems Kalu has lost favor

He's not as fit, as threatening as Chukwueze..... In my personal Opinion.

Earthquake3:
You don't even have Rohr's preferred formation which is 3-5-2

I do not like the Formation. I'm not sold it's gonna work well for the Team.

wayodude:
Wait o, your quote at 3:10pm says



Ayam not understanding what side of the fence you're on!

Check well Bro! We have good Squad, talented Players I said. I didn't say we have a star-studded Squad.

Good is more or less same as average Bro! Try again pls with your Wayoism.

My preferred Lineups

Danielnino00:
As average as our squad is,we still have the quality to rival the best teams on the Continent... we have the talent bro..we always have..

Rohr is the problem here..His tactic is the major undoing of this team.. I used to like him until I saw his lineup against Croatia... what made me even madder was the fact that he played enough friendly games that showed us the best formation that would work for the team against European oppositions and the best players for each role..and he went ahead to start with a 4-2-3-1 and Shehu..Iwobi on the flanks . I'm still mad about it bro..still very mad..

If he won't win us the AFCON or at least get to d final with some really good performance he should be sacked!!

Rohr keeps telling us that the Squad is young. The Squad is till gelling..... Lol! Honestly we have a good Squad, talented Players are in the Squad but seems Rohr has no Balls to take big Risks.

Mujtahida:
Very true Bro what you have said. Forgiveness was right: they don't measure of the quality of our players of yesteryears

You are missed Bro, same as Nerd. AFCON is here, let's enjoy it together on this Thread. We do not need to put more hope on the Team like some are doing. Mike-2 is actually doing balance Analysis. I respect his objectivity a lot.

Omonbala has spoken the bitter truth. The Squad is average, but we are happily believing they've reached the stardoms already. ChrisKels does open our Eyes that mostly our Players are better off as Carpenters, alas! He's being advised to change Nationality. Lol!

This was how we rated our U20 until we were disgraced honorably. Some of us argued that Aigbogun is a round Peg in the square hole, but we were told to unfollow the Team which we obliged satisfactory.

Bro, your inputs are needed, goldfish is another notable Moniker i am missing on this Thread.

elrony:
Na our prayers be that, but the reality is scary

.... Yes it is! But Everyone gonna be satisfied with the hunger of the Players to succeed, passion on the Pitch, style of play iced with sweet Victories. This ain't a Joke Bruh, I ain't perturbed at all to be honest.

Earthquake3:
The guy is known for making 360 not 180 turns

U turn is actually 180° and 360° is O turn.

elrony:
Bob Marley sef would have doubts bro

Trust me Bro, I know everyone is worried, but I can assure that; we gonna have a good Season.

Humility017:


I don't even want ighalo to be fit for any of the afcon matches so that Oshimen can be our top 9...who wants a repetition of the match against Argentina?

oshimen is more clinical and a better finisher than the old player from China who can miss a seater..anytime.

abeg...may una relax joor this is a blessing in disguise.
Oshimen should be our 9

Well-done Sir........ *In Falz Voice*

I do not wish him (Osimhen) failure, if he's called upon to lead the Line - but I hope you won't make sharp, swift 180° turn ........ if things go south for him.

I hope you gonna firmly stand by him, keep believing in him as you are doing now?! I hope you gonna see it as a moment of rough patch for him, and won't join to criticize and condemn as you are already doing to Onuachu.

I remember how elated you were, when Onuachu banged his debut "rocket" goal for the Eagles. I remember also your Reaction recently to his poor performance against Zimbabwe.

Fingers crossed, Arms folded ...... Watching in 4D!

We will be fine....... Everything gonna be alright!

eph12:
Oasis007 be like its that your formation that we will play next season last last

elrony:
This club be going biblical on us, we want to have Aaron with a Longstaff, someone wants to part the Red Sea next season

..... Longstaff?!

Dudes don't wanna move on Nacho's Exclusion from the List?! Seem more than half of the Thread Members are pained, but only few get Balls to show it honorably and angrily respectively.

How are we so sure Nacho can play well as 10 at the Tournament?! You must be excellent at first touch control to excel in the Position and able to operate in tight space, can Iheanacho do that flawlessly?!

Seems we are mixing it up. Iheanacho was a No. 8 at U17, it was Musa Yahaya pulling the String as No. 10 if my memory served me right..... Stand to be corrected.

Iheanacho was deadly as a No. 8 not as a No. 10. Thus he's not rightly a direct Replacement for Iwobi as a No. 10. If at all Rohr needs to sub off Iwobi in a Match, Icon4s has given the best Option, but we can also twist the Formation to 4 - 2 - 4 with a SS operating as a final third Controller.

Winning the first Ball in the Air, holding the Ball to enable tactical off ball Movements from the Wingers and the main Striker. Guess what?! I will play Onuachu in this Role, with Osimhen ahead of him.

Let's bury Iheanacho's Exclusion from the List. AFCON is few Days away!

Chelsea at OT...... First Match of the new Season, follow by Wolves!

This gonna wake up Ed!

TheGoodJoe:
The heading has nothing to do with the article. It was a false message. If you read the heading and moved on, you will know nothing about the article and have a false information.

..... Are you encouraging laziness?! The Heading has served it's purpose, drawing Attentions.

TheGoodJoe:
Solace is a quality writer and the article in question was brilliant. Quite an interesting read with the right message. Either way, there was a clear thought out plan to mislead with it. The article had nothing to do with Manu Garba and Iheanacho's relationship.

That was wrong but did you in any way condemn such an action by the journalist?

The Heading draws Attention as a Clickbait, but the Message is well spelled out. I do not sense any Trait of hating from the Writer. He simply used the heading, the moment, to draw Attentions of all. He seized it to address the unfortunate Lives our Youngsters are living and as well counsel them properly.

National Stadium Abuja named after MKO?! Hope it won't be limited to naming only, rather fix up, upgrade and maintain to standard level.








Happy Democracy Day

TheGoodJoe:
Solace Chukwu is too high the ladder of Nigerian Sports journalism to pull something as evil as that to spread false message about Iheanacho.

You can see you have not said anything in anyway to condemn his action.

There is more to the Article than what you're holding on Bro. Generally, the Article addresses the major Mistakes most our Youngsters are making.

It talks about extravagant Life and Education. I remember when Safarigirl used to complain about Iheanacho Instagram Posts. She used to condemn the kinda Life Iheanacho is living. She's warning us that Iheanacho is losing focus, rather flirting around with Alex of BBNaija.

Did you do act/react to the Warnings? Did you condemn the Acts and advise the Lad to focus and stop running after Ladies?! Rather you are busy telling us how a Genius would roger him to a world class player.

Moreso they were discovered when they were Kids. They quitted Schools to fulfill their Dreams, but forgetting there is Life after Football. Manu advised them to never give up on Education. It's also in the Article but you choose to ignore it, but focusing on the Heading alone.

....... Didn't know there are many Forgiveness on this Thread until Iheanacho Omission from the List?!

Whenever Forgiveness wails..... Tah he's a Tribalist; he wants his Tribesmen in the Squad; we should respect Rohr, coz he's white and knows the best.

....... But to my Surprise, Joe is aligning with Forgiveness' Conspiracy Theories and Allegations?! Well..... I should not be amazed coz this is Nigeria!

So many Entities are gangling up against Iheanacho?! They don't want him to succeed as a Player?! NFF?! Media?! Even Nigerian Football Lovers?!

We need to stop being emotional. We should learn to respect certain Decisions favorable or unfavorable, instead of looking for Loopholes and get confused, lost in the Process.

Though Lukaku is banging Goals for his National Team consistently, but to be honest, his lack of first touch ball control is worrisome. Can he play in a tiki-taka or ghen ghen tactical setup?!

I like Lukaku as a Player, cos he does try his best and gives it all while on the Pitch, but that ain't enough in modern football. Lukaku would excel if Wingers are tricky enough to drag Defenders off their Lines and create space for him to run behind, aside from that, he's as toothless as a Duck!

I hope all our Targets are signed up before the Pre-Season Tour, that's all I care about. No Signing should be made once the Tour begins, to avoid destabilizing the already planned Formation and Tactics for the new Season.

Nigerians are definitely the funniest set of People in the whole World. What is it with Rubber-stamp Ish?! Rubber-stamp ko, plastic-stamp ni?! Ffs! Where is this Hatred for the PMB's Administration taking us?!

We keep shouting there is Hardship in the Land, yet we still keep wishing ourselves more woes! What did we benefit from the Senate and HOA during Saraki and Dogara Reigns respectively?

Can someone mention at least what we benefitted from NASS that ain't stapler-stamped?! If Lawan led Senate gonna help the FG to fulfill on its Promises and take us to the "positive" Next Level, then who cares if they are glue-stamped?!

Let's stop the unnecessarily Hatred for our own sake! We are the ones feeling the heat, not them!

I've put off my mind on the Transfer Rumors to be honest. I don't wanna die of HBP because of some Ediots running Affairs of my beloved Club clueless-ly.

Like a Dude said up there, I'm optimistic OGS gonna turn things around. I'm optimistic that he's gonna succeed in the coming Season.

Earthquake2:
.

I've been following the Team quite a while, they are actually U15. They played some friendly Matches with local Teams before leaving for the invitational Tourney.

I think they won the last friendly by 8 - 2 against an Academy. I guess NFF tagged them U16 because they are partaking in the U16 Tournament.

Earthquake2:
Yes Future Eagles

U15 actually.
