Eediot I knew you'll say that. How come you and ur peeps are now saying 4th is acceptable for MOU since he might not have same squad as city, bloody hypocrites.
No one has any excuse of not winning it period!!!!.

manure cretins now hope for fourphy, after spending 2 seasons in 3 out of top four despite splashing £250M they now know making top four year in year out no be beans

Mr igboprodigy... you are here again with your pointless and senseless trolling! The last time your team won the league u were a teenager. When all of the big boiz were having issues your useless team couldn't make a big push for the title... bunch of 2 mins nut bursting wanskstars.

I repeat for the last time, Arsenal fans have not earned the right to troll or say shiit about United...

raumdeuter:
Assuming it was Pep fans giving excuses like

He has nothing to prove
He doesnt have to win
Top 4 is enough
He might be asked to play youth team

We would have an army of people shouting upandan

Now its balance let both win with their respective squad failure to do so means they failed

You get strength to dey go back and fourth though!

At the beginning of the just concluded season, I expected City to win the league but I noticed an alarming depreciation of their aging core players. Whereas United have a relatively young core (DDG-Smalling-Jones-Shaw-Martial). Based on last season's result I believe both teams are currently at par. Over the season United had the upper hand when both teams met.... 0-0 at Old Trafford and a lone goal from Rashford at the Etihad stadium.

The claim that Mourinho has nothing to prove is laughable, I think he has a lot to prove. A misfortune with United will significantly affect his stock after the Chelsea debacle.

Also Pep has got a lot to prove. He needs to show that he can be successful without being the coach of the best team in the league he finds himself. City's team are at the lowest point since they won their first EPL title.

For me, I expect the both of them to hit the ground running and to set a frantic pace. I am super sure they will both spend over 100M on acquisition of players.

Winning the league will be the ultimate target of both coaches and finishing in the top 3 will be a good result for both of them provided that the top 3 team remain in the race for the title till the last month of the season.

If Pep does not win the league at the first time of asking, it won't make him a failure. Same goes for Mourinho!

GloryIsaac:
Have no idea whether to be happy or sad ...
I dont like Mou's character, hope he doesn't start his antics here and quarelling with players

Rashford, lingard, perreira, januzaj e.t.c

if they are good enough they will play!

How many games did Pereira and Januzaj played last season?

MrTA:
for those who keep saying he's anot a man Utd type of coach. There is only one Sir Alex Ferguson. One unique coach. There won't be another like him. So we have to move on from saying that's the type of coach we should be getting because SAF no get part 2. I've been in very 2 minds about Jose, but the reality is the game has changed. No top club is getting a manager that will stay for 10 years if they want to be successful for a long time. It simply won't happen anymore. Also, Jose is a very polarising person. But he's undeniably a great manager. He cannot be less than great with that CV.I'm not saying he's guaranteed success but he's the best manager based on availability and his track record. I see it going one of 2 ways. He's either going to having amazing success or a complete disaster. I don't see us becoming mediocre under him.

As for now, he is now the manager of Manchester United. So he will have my full support.

You get power to dey respond to people with the funny "he is not a united type of coach" story... how many Man United managers have they experienced. No one can be like Fergie!

Someone even called Mourinho a mercenary... nawa o. Maybe they wanted us to stick with Van Gaal. We made the mistake when Moyes was chosen ahead of Mou... we might have avoided the shiit we find ourselves in at the moment.

I hope he delivers sha... because so many people are waiting to say... "I said so" awon ti dooms day

Anybody can update Wikipedia.

It will be reviewed and corrected.

GBR1:
To be frank, I'm really irritated by these "bringing through youth" tag some use as beating stick for a manager like Jose while others use to praise LVG's tenure here.
People should get their priorities right and be reasonable as much as possible. I mean everything is so clear. We've been mediocre for about 3 years now and it's no joke, and it doesn't seem the slide has been arrested. Getting back to winning is the most important thing right now, and Mourinho offers the greatest chance at that.

I love good debates and could dispel some myths or end some illogic being peddled but i don't even see the need right now.
All tags like "he doesn't play youth", '' his bad behavior/antics'', " he doesn't last more than 3 years'' , "boring football" etc are all extremely pointless and useless as they can get.

It doesn't matter if a manager is without those tags. Without the wins, you are nothing. Please when we get back to winning ways, then we can trash out the rest.

The most important thing ever to United has always been winning. Winning through whatever means; yes I said it, and I mean every bit of it. Bringing through youth while doing it, or playing attacking football etc are simply bonuses we've come to enjoy. That's realism.

Like I said earlier, I enjoy good debates but if you disagree with the above, then I don't even fancy trying to convince you. It depends; I might try though.

People are just following the bandwagon.

He chose to play a 22 years old Cech over Cudicini

Mourinho played a 17 years old Santon at Inter Milan

He gave a 20 years old Varane ample playing time at Madrid, same story for Zouma at Chelsea.

I believe that if he feels a player is ready and good enough he will do the needful.

I can't wait to see what he can make do with Fosu-Mensah. The guy looks a lot like a Mourinho style player.

Roland17:
Aburo,

Personally, this is one of the best signing(s) in the midfield position from Wenger in a very long time, considering this position is one we have struggled with in a very long time (depending on where Wenge decides to play him).

Honestly, i was not sure we could land him, however, i think Granit's mind was already made up on where he wanted to play and other suitors could not deter his decision.

For those who only follow the premier league, Granit is one of the most technically gifted/ dominant midfielder at his age in Europe and has got international experience to back it up. he can play multiple positions, especially leading from behind. Wenger is increasing the size in the middle of the park with his most recent signatures.

I concur, we are one experienced CB and a mobile striker who is technically gifted away from a balanced team that can compete for titles.

Great signing. #WELCOMEXHAKA

Stop trying to sound like a sage! "For those who only watch the EPL"

Most peeps must have known him from the Basel team that had Shaqiri and Frei.

He is an excellent midfielder though.

Diademk07:
Happy for Martial, Rashford, De Gea, Valencia, Carrick and Rooney who would all be delighted for a trophy at the end of the season after their performances which has varied from quality to decent throughout the season.
Now it's the time to rebuild.
Kante for the box-box CM, Mane for the right wing, Ki sung Yeung to replace Carrick, a CB (Varane?), Shaw (who's going to be like a new signing and we are ready to kick-start next season.

Your suspect of Smalling have been vindicated!

Ki what?

I would get Winaljdum from Newcastle, a tier 1 striker, a RW and a CB.

Caveatemptor:
I think Rooney fouled Zaha before he played the ball.

Naah... there was no contact... Zaha lost his balance.

olabode89 you get mind enter this argument sha.

I just dey my lane own ni. If you observed my previous post here, you'd noticed i was careful not to state who's right or wrong.

If they wanna carry on, no wahala.

Lol.... na the matter full this thread nau.... airmark's position that Javi Martinez will not be used as a centre back when other natural/primary centre backs are available is correct because Martinez's ability as a DM supersedes his ability as a CB, but that does not make him a makeshift CB which is what A40 is pointing out.

GBR1:
Strange thing this argument hasn't ended yet when the truth is so obvious.

LMAO... i think say na only me notice am.... Too much bad blood

Javi Martinez is primarily a defensive midfielder that can also play as a centre back.

definition of makeshift - serving as a temporary substitute; sufficient for the time being.

Synonyms of makeshift - temporary, provisional, interim, stopgap, make-do, standby

It is clear to the blind and audible to the deaf that Javi Martinez is not a makeshift centre back, although we can argue that it is not his primary position. A footballer cannot be a makeshift in a position with over 20 appearance in that position, at a point he becomes competent in playing that position taking away the makeshift tag.

An example of a makeshift centre back will be Carrick for United when the team had an injury crisis.

Mascherano falls under the same category as Javi Martinez, a defensive midfielder that can play as a centre back.

So guys abeg make una let the argument rest.

Go and lick your wounds very well. Don't be in a hurry to get up from the canvas. The blow I have lined up for you would be worse than the blow Werdum suffered last night. Butthole pirate

hehehehe.... that KO punch was super technical bro!

I still don't understand how Stipe knocked out a 240 pounds man with a single punch moving backward

Diademk07:
Ball ability? Check!
Reading of the game? Check!
Awareness? Check!
All he's done is to put his physical skills like Pace, aerial and strength to best use. His intelligence and ball skills are simply zero.

Whoscored with their plethora of information coupled with some good analyzes don't think so.

https://www.whoscored.com/Players/71345/Show/Chris-Smalling

From my years of watching Smalling his Ball ability, reading of the game and awareness are not poor, they are average. It's very rare to find a CB that ticks all the boxes bro.

SnazzyBaba:
Boss, pls I need ur auditing skill o. The source of my fund is my mum. She is transferring 300k from her account. The issue is that she is a pensioner and she has not received salary for six months but the savings comes from her rental properties.

Secondly, my sisters are also trying fund me with some money but their business is not registered.

I will appreciate ur giudiance!!!

You will need a very good letter that explains your source of fund. You can state that you will be sponsored by your family comprising of your mum and sisters. Explain that it is a common practice in Nigeria for various members of one family to contribute towards the education of a member of a family. To avoid complications state that the source of your mum's income is through her properties. Include documents such as documents showing ownership of the property, rental agreements (if available), copies of receipt issued to tenants (and make reference to inflow into her bank account if payment was made through the bank).

Also state that the source of your sisters income is through trade. Explain that most small-sized businesses in Nigeria are not registered. You might have to make reference to inflows in their bank account and also explain if most of their sales are cash sales.

Diademk07:
Shaw, Martial, Rashford, Blind have all came in and looked exccellent!
Even the ageing Carrick, limited Smalling andMorgan (when played as a box-box CM), average Fellaini and Lingard have all looked solid in the same system.
Stop making excuses for shite player who are simply shite.

Limited Smalling?? Are you for real?

Limited in what department sir?

If you wish United well you won't want LVG in-charge next season. Chelsea will have Conte, City will have Pep, Liverpool will have Klopp, Soton will have Koeman, Arsenal will have Wenger and you want us to stick to LVG that said fan's expectations are too high?

@GBR1 I am not taking sides bro, I understand where you are coming from and I am not interested in the debate

@A40 @Nihilist did you guys watch UFC 198 last night/early this morning?

It was electric!!! How does someone knock out cold a man weighing 240 pounds moving backward with one punch? Stipe Miocic is a beast!

The event was sold out in a day.... 45,000 capacity stadium in Brazil. Nothing beats a heavyweight bout in the UFC, series of first round knockout and a high percentage of finishing a fight either by KO, TKO or submission.

GBR1:
Mr ''high IQ'', please show us proof of this transfer. You would be considered a disgrace if you fail to. Let's see how high your IQ is.

I repeat you're a disgrace if you fail to do this.

Dadehmola, please watch him do this.

Lol!

Stop picking out one error in a multitude.

Zlatan moved from Juve to Inter to Barca and from Barca to AC Milan.


But in Italy because of the shared ownership of players and some other dynamics they usually have transfer of players from a top club to another top club

Hernanes moved from Inter to Juve
Andrea Bertolacci moved from Roma to AC Milan

What are the benefits of having a Laliga match or even EPL matches on the front page?

No serious sports/football fans engage others is serious/educative discussions on those EPL match threads on the front page.

This is business man! The EPL is the most watched/followed league in Nigeria and the world at large.

Guys that are working on RP application need to move very fast because of the rumor concerning naira devaluation to an official rate of 1$ - N290 that will translate to 1€ - 350 or there about.

The drawback with this is that the required 6720€ - approx. 1.5M naira will become about 2.3M naira once naira is devalued officially.

Last bullet..... guys that have gotten their RP no dull o..m buy ticket ASAP and get some PTA from banks using the current official rate of 220N - 1€.

No dulling.....

Does anyone here know much about a Joao Mario ninja at Sporting CP? It is allover the Internet that we want to pay 45M quid for him. He plays as a right winger.

Make I check youtube sha...

anniekoko:
Let me explain better. He is a partner of the company and they share profits monthly depending on how much is made. His name is not in the CAC docs but there's an official agreement and a contract letter. Pls bosses in the house, I really need your advice.

This is where the letter of explanation/other letters can be very helpful.

In the introduction letter from your sponsor he should state that he is a partner in a firm where they share profit and he should include the agreements and a contract letter. He should also state that for example in the month of Jan he got X amount, February Y amount that can be traced to his bank statement.

He can also include the monthly Profit/Loss account of the firm or last financial year's balance sheet and profit/loss account.

What do guys think about adding Wijnaldium to the squad. With Newcastle relegated we can get him for around 10M pounds.
