With Barcelona rumored to be interested in him, if that guy manages to stay at Dortmund and play well next season, we're looking at an £80m valuation for him. We fùcked up last season for not making a move, the time is now before the fee gets outrageous. Too bad Mourinho prefers Mhikitaryan on the wings.

sinizia:
Same thing I've been thinking. Instead of paying £40m for Perisic why not add small money and buy Dembele and solve our RW issue permanently. By the time we might go for him he might be more costly than he presently is.

Lana1:
As crappy as Lingard is, he shouldn't be sold. Boy is loyal and will always be a good back up. Plus his work rate.

A team doesn't need 11 World class players. 2 or 3 world class players, plus 9 or 8 hardworkers.

How many titles did we win on the back of them O'shea, Brown, Sylvester, JS Park, Fletcher, Alan Smith, etc... These guys weren't world class level but they always delivered 90-100% everytime.

Anyways, my name is Adelana and i completely support the purchase of Ousmane....

GloryIsaac:
This one weak me ...
But i'll gamble and send Jones out of the club!, he's not being paid that much to enjoy the nurses at the hospital everytime

GloryIsaac:
Abegi, we can't have both of them at the club joor... One must go.. whether loan or transfer, just go!.

Seems. we're looking at Di Maria again!

At a job interview

INTERVIEWER: Pls, spell Schweinsteiger,
Blaszczykowski & Schneiderlin.

JOB SEEKER: Why don't you just say there is no vacancy?

Leyqute:
Their contracts should run down and they should pack their loads. Together with Evans, we were hoping they'd be the replacement for Ferdie n Vidic but no, they decided to disappoint themselves. They failed to improve.

Smelling especially is always nervous on the ball. IDK why. Jones is more composed than Smelling on the ball but he never stays fit.

We can't keep relying on them. We've given them enough time to improve biko

Leyqute:
Rojo won't be back till later in the year. Linde<3 won't play all the matches. And we haven't sorted LB, though we have about 3 options there.

But more importantly, there'll be genuine competition for the LCB position. No competition at RCB though, unless Bailly's ancestors start ministering to him from the village

GloryIsaac:
Very good!!... We now have 3 CBs we can rely on and can also play the fullback positions (Lindelof RB, Bailly RB, Rojo LB) and they're still young .....
Next should be who would take the positon behind Pogba and Herrera... Hopefully Fabinho and that one can also play RB......
Next a RW, maybe James, L.Moura, F.Anderson .....
Then Morata, Belloti (i don't trust One Season wonder shaa).....

Leyqute:
I even forgot Blind as well lomao

Jones and Smelling have been disappointing us. I'm tired of them

Leyqute:
We'll be wasting that height if we play him as RB.

He played LCB mostly for benfica, thr position dreaded by Smailing and Jones

Leyqute:
Maybe we should go for Keane too. That means we'll have 3 or 4 players for the CB position(Bailly, Rojo, Lindelof n Keane) Bailly I think will do well in RB as well if everyone z fit. Although people say Val25 is doing alright I think he's lacking in some areas.

chrisley024:
Another young CB. Hope he does well

Sky sources understand the fee agreed for Victor Lindelof is €35m (£30.7m)

TheGoodJoe:
It is Kayode that scored ten goals. Osimhen played better and with time I see him leading the line and us settling for a two striker formation with Iheanacho.

I hope Onyekuru works on his tracking back and defending. If he gets this right, then Iwobi will be under pressure.

Icon4s:
They would not give a fair criticism of some players bc they love them. Instead they will be shifting blames to the players they want out of the team.

Mickael2:
first of all he didn't connect well with the defence. also a dmf should be looking to connect the defence with the amf not connecting himself to the defence as that makes no sense, but do you know how Onazi tried to connect defence and attack? by playing aimless, boring long passes over and over and over again back to back, he didn't not perform the primary duty of a dmf connecting the defence to the next line of attack

TheGoodJoe:
Blatant wrong.

He was also stranded upfront but we had more pressure with Iheanacho. From the attacker's perspective, we were more threatening with Iheanacho upfront than with Kayode. With Kayode we needed to contribute more from the midfield which left the back even under more pressure. Although the dynamics of the game led to that.

But wholly we had more room to cause damage with Iheanacho than Kayode. Osimhen even looked deadlier than Kayode.

Icon4s:
Sentiments! They love some players and dislike some others.

If Omeruo was in that defense he would have taken all the ballets for the two goals.

Even Shehu that had a very good game dem say otherwise.

Simon was terrible today. I had never seen him this
wasteful and unporposefull. Yet they will defend him bc they like him.

Ndidi IMO even share the blame more than the CB pairing. He was more focused on try to score than to perform his defense shielding. I know they will still hail him bc he is one of their favourites.

TheGoodJoe:
This your better off weaks me. If we are playing a 4-5-1 formation, Iheanacho is the best option upfront. If we are playing 4-4-2 option, Iheanacho is my best bet to play support striker.

You come up with a game plan and then think of the best personnel in each role.

Mickael2:
all the teams I follow play a similar formation. go and check all the matches were Busquets was poor, the rest if the Barack midfield looked like trash. before Zidane integrated Casemiro, Modric and Kroos looked like primary school players. the DMF sets the tone for your other midfielders, that is basic football, when the dmf isn't doing things right the whole midfield collapses

TheGoodJoe:
That sub was wrong. I even commented about it. We were not creating clear cut chances. Why take off the striker for another striker. It is not magic. Kayode was going to get starved upfront and it happened exactly.

Etebo off was the right call. Go into a two strikers set up with Kayode upfront and Iheanacho connecting with the middle.

Even our only clear cut chance came from Iheanacho to Etebo.

Mickael2:
only God knows what would have happened if we played a 4-3-3 with Onazi as the main dmf. I won't watch that match

forgiveness:
Hahahahahah! Seriously! I don't know how dem dey watch their ball. Iheanacho brings nothing to the no 9 position. If you see as people dey vex for am for where I saw the match when he was substituted, you go know say it's only here on this thread they think he is the best thing since guguru and epa to play as a striker.

I dey hear 'common getaway you... Tah... Let him return to the midfield... He is not a striker.


We saw how close we almost scored when Kayode was brought in but somebody on this thread asked where is Kayode?


The truth is people attach to much sentiment when dey analyse players and matches.


If Rohr sticks to this same selection, him supporters eyes go clear wella.

enomakos:
sorry Libya can't defeat this south Africa team,we need to defeat south Africa 2-0 right in their backyard

Mickael2:
problem was that we were not even playing a 4-3-3

EmmGee:
I also think musa would have been made scape goat today

TheGoodJoe:
We crowded the midfield, which meant we had opportunity to create chances. Nacho was in position to capitalize on the chances. Unfortunately, the ball came to the right position for the final balls but the final balls were bad. You can nor tell a striker to hustle in that position. What we needed was the right personnel to create it. Not attacker hustling.
