Real Madrid will allow Gareth Bale to move to Manchester United for £89m, according to The Sun. It is claimed that Zinedine Zidane and Florentino Perez are becoming frustrated with the Welshman's injury problems and could look to offload him in the near future. |

Skimpledawg: ![]() He's definitely gonna respond with a dumb Post that gonna includes either of the following words; Madman, Lunatic, Scummy. |
Lukaku should have reserved the Goal for the Liverpool Clash nah! |
I'm ain't perturbed and kinda feeling a rare Confidence that; United gonna get 3 Points at Anfield, if JM doesn't opt for a Park-the-Bus Tactic. I'm ain't fazed by the Pace, Skills and Tricks of the Liverpool attacking Players, coz I'm kinda confident it's all gonna end in futile - if United Players could play the Match as a normal Game. Meanwhile, I won't cry if United at least get a Point at Anfield with Lukaku scoring or De Gea getting a clean Sheet. |
Skimpledawg:The Dude has refused to learn, and the painful thing is; he ain't care to change or improve on his Grammar. HoopLA is kinda bored of schooling him, coz I trust he would have done the needful. The two Words he knows best are; Scummy and Lunatic, bro how do you expect a Person like him to progress [in anything] in Life?! I do not mean to insult, curse or bash him, rather just saying the obvious and hoping he's gonna turn a new Leaf before it's too late. I'm beginning to appreciate Hensben as an Upgrade on him and his IQ. |
sinizia: ![]() Arsenal's Thread best describes his IQ! |
KingTom: ![]() Chill Bro.....!!! He won't dare to sell him, coz I believe he has learned his Lesson(s) already. |
"Once when I was a kid, just travelling, I remember him having a massive row with Schmeichel and Ince in the changing room. It was unbelievable, just proper going for each other. "We always knew as well that [Liverpool] could hear everything that was being said, probably laughing on the other side of the wall." - Gary Neville |
"People talk about the hairdryer and it never happened that much to be honest with you during a season, but the most consistent place you would see it was Anfield - at half-time or the end of the game. "He could not stand losing at Anfield - and if we won there, it didn't matter how we played - it was like the best thing in the world. "The worst I've ever seen him consistently was at Anfield if we were losing at half-time or at the end of the game. "He'd sit there unmoved in the dressing room at the end of the game while everyone was getting showered for 25 minutes. Just not moving." - Gary Neville |
"Sir Alex was always different around the big games. He could be quite relaxed, particularly towards the end, around what I would call 'normal' games, but towards the Liverpool and City games he was always more intense. "During the week, if you walked down the corridor before a big game he'd be like 'hi son', whereas in the normal games he'd be more chatty. "He was different going into the big games and to be honest with you, the most consistently angry that I saw him." - Gary Neville |
"The reason that he [Lukaku] wasn't in the squad in the previous game was because he wasn't 100 per cent. "Now he is 100 per cent but we need to take into consideration that he has been with the group for only one [training] session. "He's been working on an individual basis, really good work, but we need to keep that in mind." - Roberto Martinez |
Mourinho's Top 10 Rejects Romelu Lukaku Mourinho and Lukaku have been reunited to devastating effect this season, with the £75m striker spearheading Manchester United's attack and scoring 11 goals in his first 10 appearances. But it was a very different story three years ago, when Lukaku was forced to leave Mourinho's Chelsea for Everton in search of regular playing time. The Belgium was only given two appearances by Mourinho during his time at Stamford Bridge, but went on to score 87 goals in 166 appearances for Everton, persuading the Portuguese to come back in for him in the summer. Kevin De Bruyne Manchester City needed to part with £54.5m to bring De Bruyne back to the Premier League, just one season after his permanent move to Wolfsburg from Chelsea under Mourinho. Mourinho labelled De Bruyne "an upset kid" and criticised his efforts in training. Despite playing the midfielder in the first three Premier League games of Chelsea's 2013-14 season, De Bruyne was sold for £18m to Wolfsburg in the same month. De Bruyne registered 18 assists in the 2016-17 campaign for Pep Guardiola's side, more than any other player in the top flight, and he has started the new campaign in similar style. Leonardo Bonucci Juventus centre-back Bonucci was deemed surplus to requirements by Mourinho at Inter Milan before going on to win six Serie A titles with Juve. Mourinho allowed the then 22-year-old to leave the San Siro in 2009 for a meagre £3.4m. Bonucci, 30, was coveted by a number of top clubs this summer before eventually opting to join Juve's Serie A rivals AC Milan. Ryan Bertrand Bertrand, 27, spent much of his early 20s on loan away from Stamford Bridge, but despite starting in Chelsea's Champions League final win over Bayern Munich in 2012, Mourinho allowed the England left-back to leave permanently for Southampton in 2014. Juan Mata Chelsea's two-time Player of the Year, Mata, was soon usurped by Oscar after Mourinho's return to the club at the end of the season. He then allowed the Spaniard to join rivals Manchester United in the following January transfer window. Mata became an important figure for United, and that remains the case now that he is working with Mourinho again. The 29-year-old has started six of their first seven Premier League games this season, scoring his first goal of the campaign against Crystal Palace last weekend. David Luiz Mourinho allowed David Luiz to join Paris Saint-Germain in 2014 for a £50m fee just a month before a horror show in Brazil's 7-1 defeat to Germany in the World Cup semi-final, justifying the then Chelsea manager's decision. Luiz has flourished since returning to the club under different management, though, and is now dubbed an Antonio Conte masterstroke following Chelsea's Premier League title win in May. Mohamed Salah Salah was signed by Chelsea under Mourinho's watch but he was given few opportunities before being loaned out to Fiorentina and Roma. He shone in Serie A, scoring 15 goals and claiming 11 assists last season at Roma and persuading Liverpool to pay £34m for his signature. The Egyptian has made an impressive start at Anfield, too, scoring four goals and providing one assist in his first seven Premier League appearances for Jurgen Klopp's side. Oriol Romeu The Southampton player was just 23 when he was allowed to leave Stamford Bridge for less than £6m under Mourinho in 2015, but has become a dominant midfield force at St Mary's. Andre Villas-Boas said Romeu had a "brilliant future" when he was unveiled at Stamford Bridge alongside Lukaku in 2011 after leaving Barcelona, and former Saints boss Claude Puel claimed the 25-year-old is "not far off" the level of PFA Player of the Year N'Golo Kante. Ezequiel Garay Allowed to leave Real Madrid under Mourinho at the age of 24, Argentina international Garay impressed at Benfica and earned a big-money move back to La Liga with Valencia in 2016. The centre-back is a key player at the Mestalla and was touted as a possible Chelsea transfer target this summer, according to reports in Italy. Filipe Luis Filipe Luis was signed by Mourinho after his solid displays in Atletico Madrid's La Liga-winning campaign in 2013-14, but only spent one season at Stamford Bridge before returning to his old side having made just 15 appearances for the Blues. The Brazilian picked up where he left off at the Vicente Calderon, though, making 48 appearances for the Spanish side in the 2016-17 season as Atleti reached the semi-finals of the Champions League and once again boasted the best defensive record in the Spanish top flight ahead of Barcelona and Real Madrid. http://www.skysports.com/football/news/11096/11069456/mourinhos-top-10-rejects |
Danny Rose could be swapping Tottenham for Manchester United, according to talkSPORT. After missing out in the last transfer window, United are said to be willing to try again for the 27-year-old come January. The left-back has recently been on the sidelines due to injury but is set to return for Spurs later this month. |
![]() Thought it's only Aregbesola owing Salaries?! Rivers State, one of the two richest States in Nigeria, also owe Salary.....?! 24 Months.....?! Wike is......... Wicked!!! |
![]() I think the Aide is high on Sapele Weed, coz if its just Sapele Water - he would have got little sense, thus he wouldn't have said the Gibberish! |
MRTA7:Yeah! You are on Point |
MRTA7:JM will likely play 3 - 5 - 2. ------------------ De Gea ---------------------- --- Smalling ----- Bailly ---- Blind/Lindelof--- Valencia ----- Herrera ----- Matic ----- Young -------------- Mkhitaryan/Mata ---------------- -------- Lukaku ------ Martial/Rashford------- I will prefer Mata to start ahead of Mkhitaryan, same as Martial over Rashford, coz both are very fresh! |
This Article is very interesting. Aregbesola really did a good analytical Job on the Economy of Nigeria and way forward. I think it deserves making FP for all and sundry to read and learn something from it. Cc Lalasticlala |
The occasion of the 57th anniversary of national independence should give us a cause for deep reflection and critical thinking without necessarily taking anything away from the celebration. I use this occasion to congratulate Nigerians, the good people of Osun in particular. It is a thing of great joy, irrespective of our collective or individual circumstances, to be alive to celebrate the anniversary of our nation’s independence. For some of us who were born before independence, it was a momentous event for us. Though I was a child at independence in 1960, the ferments of the struggle against colonialism still remained with us in my growing up years while the substitution and replacement of white colonialists with our people that followed were dramatic enough to give us a deeper appreciation of independence. With the benefit of hindsight, some of the hopes and aspirations of the pre and immediate post-independence era have been betrayed and this is regrettable. We dreamt then of Nigeria becoming a superpower in one or two decades after independence. This dream was even shared by some of the great powers of the era who saw us as potential competitors, first for regional hegemony and also on a global scale in economic, social, political, sporting and diplomatic contests. Many of them have since relaxed, feeling their fears then were unfounded. However, the dream of greatness is an undying one. Nigeria can and will still be great. Though this issue has been over flogged, it still needs reiterating – that our bane since military interregnum has been overt reliance on rent from crude oil. Let us be clear on this, oil is a blessing, not a curse. The problem is what you make of it. Oil has been a blessing in the Scandinavian countries, Libya, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Angola, United States, Britain, Norway, Venezuela, Canada, Russia and several other places where it has been well utilized as a catalyst for development and wealth creation. Our own problem, like several oil-rich nations, is that we live on its rent and do not build any productive activity around it. That is why, beyond exportation, oil is practically useless for us. We cannot even refine for local consumption until current efforts by the administration of President Muhammadu Buhari. Even then, the Minister of State for Petroleum Resources told us recently that 92 percent of local consumption is still being imported at the cost of $28 billion in 2016. We then import every other thing, including food, clothing and most of our building materials. Now, the price of oil has fallen and the portents are still bad. This is in the wake of a tectonic shift in technology from internal combustion engines to electrical engines in automobiles. Nevertheless, a lot of people still believe we are rich with crude oil, only if there is an equitable distribution of the resources. Now, corruption has made the scarcity to be worse. Corruption is evil, it disrupts the development process and should be stamped out. However, without corruption, we are still a poor nation, even with oil. Let us do this simple calculation. Nigeria’s daily production quota from OPEC is put at 2.1 million barrels per day. Let us note that we have never met this production and sales quota in the last 10 years. Nevertheless, if we multiply this imaginary production quota with 365 days, which make a year, we have 766.5 million barrels of crude oil as our total foreign exchange oil earning resource. This is assuming there is no production disruption from militants’ activities in the Niger Delta and unsold inventory which could be up to half a million barrels sometimes. Since oil sells for an average of $50 now, this will give us $38.325 billion in total sales per annum. Remember we have not deducted production and associated expenditures; this is the gross income, joint venture partners are assumed, volunteers. If we divide this amount by 170 million, which is our conservative population estimate, it goes round to roughly $225.44 per head per annum. This is further reducible to $18.786 in a month. At an exchange rate of N370, it amounts to N7,000. This calculation simply means that every Nigerian is entitled to N7,000 monthly from oil wealth at best! How about income from other sources? Since oil accounts for 70 percent of total national revenue, this figure will only rise to N10,000. Let’s say someone wants to experiment with this calculation and give to every Nigerian N10,000 unearned income, it means there will be no government; bureaucracy and associated wages, paying salaries, no executive, legislature and the judiciary, no police, military, public education, roads, airport, international relations, etc. This without a doubt means anarchy. I have gone to this length to demonstrate that we are not rich at all, even with the oil wealth. The per capita income from oil would probably have been better if we have just one-tenth of our population. This makes the issue of diversification of our economy and productivity imperative. Productivity is the ability to alter any state of matter or service, alone or in combinations into a more desirable form – product or service. The process of bringing about that alteration, or the effort we put into achieving this, is called work. The initial condition or base material for these processes is often as freely set by nature, while the derived output or product is as contrived by man in his imagination. Thus, sound notes put together productively equals music, otherwise, it is noise. Rubbles put together constructively is a house, otherwise, it is just a dump of rubbles. The challenge before us as a nation is, therefore, to earn income from productivity, not from rent. On this note, I will like to post that we should get 50 million of our compatriots to be working i.e. engaged in productive activities that will bring them at least N25,000 a month. From this, N1.25 trillion will be generated in the economy every month from real productive engagement. These jobs can be created and paid for byways and means in diverse areas of the economy like agriculture and food production, clothing and footwear, housing, environment, critical public infrastructure like roads, bridges, airports, railways, water resources development etc that will provide basic needs for the people and cut our imports by 90 percent, reducing foreign goods to critical machineries and raw materials we do not have at home. This will catapult Nigeria into a superpower within two decades. In Osun, we are already working on this. We are striving to put at least one million of our over four million population to work. If they earn a minimum of N25,000 a month, a 10 percent tax from this will give us revenue of N2.5billion every month. This amount will be sufficient to run the government, pay workers, develop our state and bring prosperity to all. If this is replicated in all the states of the federation, Nigeria will be prosperous without oil money. This is my dream for our country and it is my sincere hope that at this occasion of our independence celebration, leaders in the public and private sectors will critically engage this idea. Once again, I congratulate all Nigerians and wish us all a happy Independence celebration. https://m.facebook.com/story.php?story_fbid=1482415391795489&id=130935336943508 |
patrickmuf:Nah! JM can't rest both Rashford and Mkhitaryan, one of them must definitely play. We know Martial can replace Rashford in the Lineup, but who are you gonna replace Mkhitaryan with?! Remember; Pogba, Carrick, and Fellaini are out of the Team. |
patrickmuf:Even if Fellaini is fit, I would rather pray JM plays Herrera instead of him. Liverpool play with Pace, hence playing Fellaini and Matic Pivot is definitely a Disaster in waiting. Also, I would have hoped JM matches Pace with Pace by playing the quartet of Lukaku, Martial, Mkhitaryan and Rashford upfront, but I think we should rather control the Tempo of the Game by playing Mata instead of Rashford or Martial. |
olabode89:Honestly, I never like Fellaini starting at the expense of Herrera. I really can't fathom the Reason JM prefers the former to the Latter, hence I see this Injury as a blessing in Disguise. |
patrickmuf:I add "more" simply hoping he can dish out top Performances that would give JM no Choice but to be starting him in the Matches. I know Herrera is a good Player, I know he deserves to be in the Team than Fellaini, but I'm ain't the Team Manager hence can only hope he wins the Manager's Confidence starting from the next Game. |
Belgium National Team Medics have confirmed that Fellaini suffers MCL Injury and will be out for 2 Weeks. Herrera gonna have to prove himself more, and possibly gonna be backed up by McTominay cos Carrick is also not fit yet. |
Former Arsenal defender Martin Keown has claimed that Mesut Ozil has "mentally left the club" ahead of his contract's expiry at the end of the season. (Evening Standard) |
