Tvegas: I respect your arguement and i dont think clubs who have superstars will sell them to us easily. But my point is we have been spending and are still spending outrageous amounts on above average players. Instead of going that route without achieving anything why dont we allow our young lads to grow?. For example i pray Lukaku comes good, but spending £75 mil plus £15 mil in add-ons is wasteful. I will support him as every true fan should do but common..... these are outrageous sums same for Pogba's transfer.
I insist many of our players are average at best,whether they will improve or not is left for us to see this season. The scouting department need to up their game as well. There are lots of good deals out there things shouldn't be that difficult.
This is my problem with most United fans, you complain that the squad is filled with average players. The board and management try to get quality players, you scream that we are paying too much. How many of those guys that can be gotten at a seemingly cheap/for good deals can walk into the team and be a starter?
It is difficult for top English clubs to make very good deals because of the knowledge that English teams are making excellent money from the new television deal that was signed of recent.
CapitalCee: Rashford was superb, but that first team had the chemistry the second team didn't. Lingard, Herrera,Mata and Carrick were behind him, they have played together, the other team has Pereira and tuanzebe in midfield and Lukaku is new. So everyone tried.
Bros did you watch the match at all?
Tuanzebe played as part of the back 3 (LCB) and not in midfield.
donjazet: Abeg you get the cheat for the game, I hear say e get cheat wey go give you surplus cash to spend for the your team and so on. You know am?
You are killing the fun bro!
Back in the days, I start with teams in 2nd tier league and build my profile. Sometimes I spend 2 years in a lower division, gain promotion and win the UCL in 4 game years �. Later them Barca, Madrid and Man United go dey offer me contract.
funlord: No........its football manager the most addictive and superb game on pc ever! Even real managers like harry redknapp play it and scout players with it! When we were dependent students or broke and unemployed rudeboys after graduation it was the best friend you could have! It can make you leave your chick, abandon your homies, stop eating, smoke like Bob Marley, and most importantly give you a knowledge about the game that you never knew was inside of you! The queen has even given an OBE to the guy who created it! Beware of the powers of FM!
Hmmm... football manager ! Especially the FM series released by SEGA and Sport Interactive. It is truly the most addictive and mind capturing game ever. The sad part is the withdrawal effect it has on other activities, FM messed up the CGPA of a lot of guys at OAU when I played it a lot between 2006 and 2009.
okewumi: Bros, you are right. I graduated from OAU and the only problem is no short cut to anything. You can not buy handout to boast your GP, you cannot ask a friend to write test for you. The only thing is that OAU is not meant for average students like me but for genius. I got job automatically after service year because of the school image and l was sent for training in Europe. Education in OAU is very tough
Brightwood: Have you seen their body weights? I don't watch boxing or MMA INFACT I CAN Say for a fact I haven't watched any fight events this decade but even a greenhorn like me would bet my life on Mayweather 9 times over.
Do you think Mayweather is bigger or heavier ??
Conor fights at either 145lbs or 155lbs in the UFC but his out of competition weight is around 170lbs.
Brightwood: Have you seen their body weights? I don't watch boxing or MMA INFACT I CAN Say for a fact I haven't watched any fight events this decade but even a greenhorn like me would bet my life on Mayweather 9 times over.
I have been following MMA since the days of Pride and Strike force... over a decade ago and only a greenhorn will get his life on the outcome of a combat sport. There have instances where a wild swing have knocked out a fighter.
If Conor can cut the ring effectively he will surely get his hands on Money, but he cannot utilize his kicks to gauge range and control his opponent. Like I said before my money is on Conor KO inside the first 4 rounds hedged by a Floyd decision victory.
Olabode89, look at Conor McGregor Sparring...this was only last year o.
He's in Blue.
Man looks like he's wading through treacle. Can't keep his guard up, Can't react quickly enough for the counter. Flailing around with windmills.
mayweather will light up the clown like a cohiba.
Bro... a super high guard is not usually used in MMA because of the size of them gloves, guys have been knocked out with roundhouse kicks on high guard.
I am aware of the importance of experience in boxing, but Conor carries a KO threat and he fights very smart, his 13 seconds KO of Jose Aldo is a typical example.
jonsnow92: If McGregor goes through to the 8th or 9th round just know its a fix..Or as Nihilist said its codedly in d contract..Been a Pro in boxing isn't done in 6months..I won't be shocked when the pressure gets to him in the ring if he mistakenly lifts his leg in defence on Aug 26..Bet on Conor at your peril
McGregor is not your typical MMA guy with a wrestling or other traditional mixed martial arts base. His base is kickboxing, we all know that he has zero professional experience but he's got hands of steel with the technique and angles to send Mayweather to the canvas. The million dollar question is can he hit Mayweather with his vicious cross left ??
Nihilist: Mayweather easily. Very easily sef. This ain't Tekken.
Boxing is not the same as Gidigbo.
Hmmm... Underrate the Nutorious at your own peril Bro!
We all know that Floyd defence is out of this world but Conor has got some nasty hands, if he touches Floyd... the old lady will sing.
My money will be on Conor..... KO/TKO win hedged by a Floyd decision win. Both guys and Dana should each be taking more than $50 million.... red panty night...lol
sinizia: So all my dream and wish for Aubameyang has been in vain? Which kain thing be this? I don't know what Mourinho sees in that soft kid without the physicality to thrive in EPL. Well, Mourinho knows best so I wish him outstanding success for us if the rumors are true.
Are you referring to Morata??
FYI he is stronger than Auba and has got better hold up play. Morata is a hybrid striker... good physique, fast feet and clinical finishing.
Una watch U.F.C 211? Which spinach dem give that Stipe Miocic guy? The guy made such slight work of Junior Dos Santos I'm wondering who in that heavyweight division fit stop am
Bros the thing tire me o! I stayed up all night till like 6am to watch a slug fest and JDS made the worst move he could do against Stipe... backing towards the cage. At the moment none of the top guys possess a good chin to eat and return bombs towards Stipe's chin. Maybe either of Derrick "Black beast" Lewis or Francis Ngannou in a year time can take on Stipe. Cain Valesques if healthy can test Stipe, but is he ever 100% healthy?
What do you think about JJ's performance? She's the best striker in the UFC irrespective of gender.
Damian Maia is finally going to get his title shot! I fear he might be knocked out by "Mr. Every white man is racist".
I felt bad for Yair Rodriguez... Frankie gave him a merciless beat down, he needs to improve his wrestling and take down defence.
pamcode: Funlord2, Ibime what exactly did Bogarde do wrong pls? I have googled him and can't seem to Find a wrong doing.
Lol... Chelsea negotiated foolishly and gave the dude a mouth watering contract that was worth around 12 million pounds for 5 years (in 2000). The dude was astonished that he got such a super cool contract and he signed it. Down the road, the club and everyone noticed that he was below par and they wanted him out of the club. He was demoted to the reserve and youth team to force him out. Bros refused to bow to the pressure or embarrassment because he knew there was no way he could get half of what he was earning elsewhere.
He played 9 league games for Chelsea in 5 years with zero appearance in the last 3 seasons. He said he didn't care if he goes down as one of the worst transfers in the history of the premier league
larride: I'm not criticizing the team, I'm only saying Pogba play has been average and lazy, just look at how he's jogging around. The team play has been okay.
Bros...
If you nor sabi watch ball please keep quiet.
Someone as tall and big as Pogba you expect him to be sprinting like Lingard?
elampiro: Your argument will make sense if only Valdez played in a different pitch. It's the pitch the slips not the team you played in.
Smalling didn't slip. He was filled with fear because of the pressure that was pilled on United. His stupidity and anxiety made him attempt to clear the ball with the wrong fout.
Jones was solid except from when he had his normal brain fart by impeding Negredo when common sense should have told him that Smalling had the danger covered. He invited undue pressure on the team by giving away a free kick.
I hope one of them is sold next season, preferably Smalling. The way he shakes and play with anxiety is irritating.
It's quite unbelievable, I have never been that pessimistic in my life as I never believed we could go pass them having failed to score an away goal. PSG no useless, na their coach useless. Why going on the defensive in the 1st half?
Coach useless? You surequire say you watch the match at all??
Di Maria killed this game. The fool missed a glorious opportunity to end the tie and made a useless foul for Neymar's beautiful PK. Great comeback for Barca.
