Na wa o na beg you dey beg am?

I doubt if any big club really wants the guy sef.

If there's a player that'll slow us down this season, it's Lewadoski. Man is completely finished. Yep, he'll score some goals here and there but it'll be net negative because he's done at this level.

Came on Vs City and killed(in a bad way) the attack completely. Ire oooo

andrewbaba44:
I don’t want the signing because we need to focus on other position ,but I think he will do well because he is good

Olmo is also a good lw ,though I prefer Nico

I think we're basically saying same thing. I'll support him and hope he does well.

He's a quality player and like Coutinho could play LW. My issue with him is his injury records which is extremely bad, like really bad. Almost Rosicky level when he was at arsenal.

Time shall tell and I wish him well here👌

andrewbaba44:
I don’t get these guys at all ,at times I think it’s banter but it’s obviously not at this point

Same club moving to a new stadium in less than a year time ,but someone who support the club with a leaning roof stadium saying we can’t pay dani olmo ,person wey no earn reach outcast like lenglet 😁

Lol

andrewbaba44:
Support who ?

Olomo, I think we've signed him already.

Nothing we can do other than to support and hope that he does well.

His signing reminds me of the return of Fabregas who wasn't a necessity back then but since nah Lamsia we brought him back. Fabregas couldn't bench anyone(Iniesta Xavi, Busquet, Keita) and had to play F9 occasionally and then some games in a rotated midfield until Enrique sold him for Rakitic who was the better/required profile but not necessarily the better player.

But like I said, it's Coutinho/Grienzman all over again but I'll support him.

We'll support him!

Taguchi:
Dayo no dey run relay, na only marathon

He will be back to airmark , him dey participate for another tournament presently

This is just the summary, he's never in a rush (Usain Bolt). He's more long distance with great endurance like (Mo Farah)

If you engage, he's ever ready to battle till the very end. Nah you go run las las....

I know it's just a friendly and first real game so fitness level may be called in to question but Hector Fort was really roasted and showed a complete lack of positioning and application. He'll learn and I believe in him.

Casado is a good player, Roque played out of position but he's not Barca level right now and should be loaned out.

Flick 💪💪💪

I raise you elampiro vs coogar


Even viewing as a guest then I no dey miss those quotes

Yeah true. Elampawpaw Vs coogar was really something too. I recall everything.

rooftops:
Raum.deuter Dan pass baton to tim.bros. na who air.mark go pass baton to na him we no know. Blueman is that you?

Dayo doesn't pass baton haha, he's a one man mopol lol

Dayo Vs Coogar was peak something that year...

BlewMahn:
Wonder who signed/will sign Thiago Almada
Been a baller since when I first saw him in MLS

Meanwhile, Morocco are cooking.

I think the owners of Lyon also own Botafago in the Brazilian serie A. In his latest contract signed some months ago, he'll join Botafago for a season and then join Lyon in summer 2025. He's a top baller...

monerozi5590:
Common now! Olmo sabi ball abeg. Someone who replaced Pedri and Pedri wasn't missed at all.

6 games, 3 goals and 2 assists. Won the golden boots. The tournament joint top scorer and was in the team of the Tournament.

Context is everything!!!

Barcelona do not have money to sign players or should I say the margin to register them.

Barcelona do not have a DM, and a quality Lw.

Olomo is a known quality but very injury prone. He remains exactly what we do not need at this point. We're stacked in his position; Gundo, Pedri, Gavi, Fermin. If everyone is fit, Olomo will be shifted to the wing making him another Coutinho/Grienzman situation.

Signing him is like Realmadrid signing another attacker or Barcelona signing another defender.

The priority is clear. A DM and left winger. Olmo, although quality will be a redundant signing.

When we signed Countinho, I said something similar and despite the fact that he did well initially but he failed because he simply didn't fit. Olomo although quality won't cut it here because of his profile but will perform in the first few months like Coutinho then fade. We'll eventually find it impossible to ship him out because of his pronesness to injuries and high wages. Olomo won't want to leave too and will be saying all over the media how he loves Barca.

He's a quality player but not the profile we need at the moment.

Jodera:
People just deh look for anything to talk.

Enzo, an adult and professional player uploaded a clip, have apologised but e no do dem, na Messi own dey wan hear.

Dem no wan hear coach own, dem no wan hear one of the players caught on the video oo, na Messi own dem wan hear because he's captain. This is the first time I'm hearing such nonsense tbh.

Suarez racially abused evra, nobody talk say Gerrard must come apologise or talk about it.

Sha, it's the ex-player's personal opinion. Let's just leave it at that

People are genuinely upset that Messi was not in that bus and you should know why. If he was there or even close to the bus when this happened, well, well...

Thing is that there are people who till today still argue that he was in the bus but hiding.

Reality is that, if he was there, this will surely not happen. It's a shame that it happened because they'll never beat the racial allegation battle. As such, they'll lose a lot of casuals as fans during international tournaments.

To each, their own...

raumdeuter:
The time he scored that goal vs Arsenal remember that commentary

18yr old Wayne Rooney

Nope, he was still 16 and playing for Everton.

raumdeuter:
There are enough what if we can apply to football

What if Beckham and Ferguson did not fall out he might not have bought Ronaldo and he would have ended up in Portugal like Quaresma Simao and other wingers

What if Robert Enke, Rene Adler injured at the 2010 world cup Neuer might never get a chance to start for the national team and have a career like TerStergen. A great club goalkeeper but not for NT

What if Messi parents didn't bring him to Spain from Argentina.. he might just be another small sized dribbler like Ortega

What if Ronaldo won euro 2004? Won back to back UCL in 2008 and 2009, What if France didn't beat Portugal and they go on to defeat Italy in 2006 final, the goat debate would've been over before it started.

if Ballack wasn't suspended may be Germany would've won the world cup in 2006. If Zidane didn't get that red, Canvaro wouldn't have a ballodor to his name.

Too many what if, but honestly...

For Yamal, Dembele leaving and Barca being broke was really key...

raumdeuter:
Rooney wasn't 16 at the Euros

You're very correct. The way he burst into the scenes, I always thought he was 16 going to 17 in 2004, just like yamal 16 going to 17 in 2024. I didn't recall he was already 18. The image of his early performance at Everton is still living in my head. But as a 16 year old, he was as good as yamal. That's the point I was trying to make.

afrodoc2:
Rooney was over 18yr at Euro 2004. He was probably as good as Yamal as a 16yr old, but the evidence is scanty as Everton didn't really give him minutes until he was nearly 17.

I kind of mixed up my write up. If Dembele wasn't sold, the story of Yamal would've been same in terms of his minutes. He wasn't going to play with Dembele in the team.

Yes, you're very correct!

Realtord43:
Say the name of an England player of 16yrs old, past and present that is as good like Yamal

16 year old Rooney was fire. If you watched him in 004, you won't be saying this lol.

If he wasn't injured, May be, just may be England would've defeated Portugal then go on to beat Greece in the final. Rooney was that good at 16.

Too many ifs on 16 year old Rooney but he was that good and edges yamal at 16 in my opinion. But the fact that yamal actually won the whole thing is something to write home about. He's very good too.

Football is a team sports so anything can happen.

Kimbeast:
I wonder what would have happened if Yamal was an England player.

Adidas must farm engagement nah.

Yamal is more Dimaria/Mahrez than Messi. The picture circulating around with him and Messi as a child is what Adidas is trying to farm engagement with.

The real question is what would've happened if a 16 year old English player went to the Euros, scored a good goal Vs France, assisted a couple including one in the final and eventually winning their first trophy since 1966. If a 16 year old, now 17 was part of this team as a regular, he'll be immortalised forever in England.

It won't be so for ESP because they're far richer than ENG in the trophy cabinet!

Awesome01:
Pure rubbish.! Imagine the nonsense.

I think all these salaries and contracts should be reviewed on yearly basis. Non-performers are even getting paid higher than performers. Imagine Ferran Torres getting paid more than Pedri and Gavi?

FDJ is collecting salary that equates the salaries of 4-5 players put together, what is his performancefor the club?. Even Lenglet who has been useless and hasn't kick a ball for Barca for last 2 seasons is collecting salary more than players in the starting 11.

This is ridiculous. Walahi, Bartomeu wunjore this club no be small.

I don't believe most of these articles on salaries though but.......

Bartomeu was shit, but the image I have here is dominated by Laporta players..

Gundo, Ralph, Lewy, Garcia, Feran, Fati and even Pedri shouldn't be earning that much. I understand Kounde, he's absolutely world class and of the right age, always available, never injured. A typical Barca brand player.

If this salaries are actually true, then this is on Laporte too. Eric Garcia shouldn't be earning that much. He's a very average player!

Vischy:
Frenkie de jong is even earning more than Mbappe at real Madrid,too bad he needs a massive pay cut.

Lol....

Dejong salary will always look bloated because of referrals. I don't think he's earning more than Mabape normally abi overall lol

andrewbaba44:
Nico Williams flop ? Bros abeg nau

19 assists 8 goals last season ,abeg gbewa

Na wetin I dey try tell you that time for Chelsea thread after he won man of the match hahaha 🤣🤣🤣

Fc Barcelona new kit for next season🔵🔴
Be there, no matter what 🔥🔥
#ilovebarcelona 🥰🥰

The one you have here is for presentation...

This is our home kits below for 2024/2025!

Ijustwantto:
Lamine next season 💀💀

good for pr, but I wish he went for something completely different from Messi.

Good thing he didn't get the rumoured #10 as well but I personally would've preferred #17 or something different from 19. But nah just number sha so I wish our star boy well.

Ballzproblem2:
Enzo must be taught a hard lesson.

He may not play again for Chelsea. The black culture is very strong at Chelsea. As such, it'll take a miracle for him to clean such dirt off his skin.

Opta will say...finished!

Ballzproblem2:
you Neva know wetin dey disturb you, wether na racism abi Messi Dusting the goat debate .


you go dey alright.

Messi no dey team bus but his ghost must tell Enzo not to livestream a racist chant. What was he thinking??

Enzo needs to be educated after being sanctioned with a world record fine. But not just him. You can't be playing in England/Europe or anywhere in the world and be doing such. Nope!

Not just Enzo but others too...

Android17:
I know you agree about the in tournament performance of Olmo. I'm saying is that not how to rate the teams?

Based on this tournament Olmo is clear but I was personally working on their overall level.

Android17:
Did Olmo not impact Spain much more than Pedri? I'm not arguing that Jude will be rated above Olmo before the tournament. But in the actual tournament, I don't agree.

Olmo did better. You're not getting my point man....

Leno was starting over Martinez but if he(Leno) wasn't injured, nobody will know how good he can be.

Android17:
Is that based on profile before or after the tournament? La Liga fans were just saying Olmo and Fabian Ruiz were more deserving of MVP vs Rodri. You mean same Olmo is still inferior to Jude Bellingham?

Overall Jude is better based on PR and what he did in Laliga and UCL. My point wasn't based on this tourney alone.

Olmo did better in this tournament but until Pedri was injured, he was a bench player.

I also said Foden is better than Nico but in the position (LW) he played in this tournament, Nico did better.

liveLongNprospa:
There is no planet that walker is as good as carvajal.
Not in defending.
Not in attacking.
Not in big moments.

There is nothing.

The only thing walker has is speed and na there e end.

It's like comparing a bugatti with a power bike just because the bike is fast.

Very well then...

liveLongNprospa:
Carvajal is equal to walker?

What kind of insult is this to carvajal?

Nothing like insult. Kyle Walker is as good. Cava edges him in the cabinet department.

My opinion isn't based on this tourney but their overall level.

A40:
Don't underrate how technically sound these Spaniards are. They might not have big names but they have so many players with elite technical abilities.

That Zubimendi dey fly under radar. PL fans said Spain were cooked boy if only they knew

Alex Baena led La Liga in assists and e no even see shirt throughout.

I need Premier League fans to stop using premiership eye to look their players, what ends up happening is you overrate your players then underrate other players and you're surprised that a team with supposed lesser players are playing you off the park

Yeah, I didn't underate them. If you check, I analysed each player well.

For instance, Stones is supreme on the ball, can defender as well and he's playing for the best team in England...I think he's better than Le Normand.

Saka is a proven player and currently edges Lamine. We don't know about the future yet.

Kane is better than Morata.

Foden may be the better player but in the left wing position Nico is clear.

Spain dey very technical I know as a follower of La Liga!
