Nobody is talking about my idolo😭

😭 😭 😭 😭

Oh my legendary idolo; at 32, my idolo is yet to start a single tournament game for Germany with 49 year old Neur in great shape.

Neur may retire in the next tournament and another young talented GK may take his spot.

Oh my idolo!!!!

andrewbaba44:
Which lua lua be that ,do you mean Congolese tresor lomana lua lua who played for porthsmouth then ?

Another Lua Lua dey? I don't know of any aside Lomana oo.

Yes, I'm talking about him. Like his cousin Bolasie, his dribbling then was 99 😂!

OhBritannia:
We have already started preparing an offer for him and the player himself wants to come.
He is much more impactful than Nico and more faster than Nico.
Though i like Nico but if he can't lower his wages, then Barcelona should just sign this boy.

I'm not so sure about the emboldened but Nico is a difference maker for Bilbao and now ESP. I didn't even know about Jaden until when Kilishi talked about him in the Chelsea thread.

On pace, Nico is like Theo Walcott(speed) and Lua Lua(dribbling). He's the definition of fast but what he lacks is finishing.

Not that he's slow but Jaden is not fast. Even Raphinha(not slow too) looks faster than him but he can dribble better than Nico and he looks better in tight areas.

At best, Jaden is as fast as Mahrez, Di Maria, Neymar, Fati, Yamal, Raphinha, Saka, etc.

Nico, in terms of speed is fire 🔥 🚒. He's incredibly rapid and will burn any defender if given the space and time!

Vischy:
Brazil are gonners already, looking forward to another cracker Uruguay vs Colombia semi finals.

I doubt!

Vinicus is suspended so advantage Brazil. They'll try to work as a team without him in that game. I think Brazil will go through.

For the records, players that left for either peanuts or free because of astronomical wages; Dembele, Suarez*, Greezman, Coutinho, Rakitic, Umtiti, Vidal, Alba* Pique* etc.

Players that will leave either on free or peanuts because of their KDB wages; Dejong, Ter Stergen, Lenglet, Fati, Lewy*. If this happens hope people won't say we're bad at selling.

That's why although I'm very keen on Nico, If he's not willing to come on reasonable wages then we shouldn't touch him. If Nico comes here and flop then the vicious circle continues!

veekid:
"Barça ended up giving Sergiño Dest for free. PSV wanted him, and despite his knee injury, the price had already been set at €10m. The negotiation was useless. They said that Barça is ran like a family business, but I don't know any business that is ran so badly."

Yes we're not good at selling but nothing to blame here in my opinion.

Dest was set to join PSV for 10m or thereabout but this deal wasn't agreed or fixed just rumours.

However he suffered a serious knee injury. Thing is, unless you're Ronaldo or Mbape tier player, no club will sign you if you're badly injured that's why a player must undergo medicals before signing. Demba ba, Wijnaldum, Tyler Adams, Cisse to mention a few all missed out on transfers because they all failed medicals.

Dest has a year left on his contract with huge wages. No chance a sensible club pays 10m for him while injured. Let's not forget that if you put Raphinha as a RB, he'll defend and coordinate better than Dest.

He was meant to leave either on a free or whatsoever, good riddance.

Excluding Guui, 3 down, more to follow!

Leyqute:
Na this same Benjamin Sesko RB Leipzig Dey demand 65m for o

He'll cost even more in future. I think 65m will be too small for him by the time he's ready to leave Leipzig.

Muani went for 90m. This guy will go for 80m or more in future.

Clutch player!!!

obonujoker:
Barcelona make Una sell Cancelo give us now

Cancelo is a City player. Most Barca fans do not want him here because in his primary duties, he's inferior to the guy below 👇. As a LB I'll take Balde ahead of him anytime.

City fans are equally not interested in keeping him. He's not better than Walker. As a LB, Ake/Gvadiol is clear.

Negotiate with City and get him pls 🙏🙏🙏

mostob:


I think Barcelona can still be able to offer Nico a nice salary though. People like DeJong, Roberto and other 'Yahoo boys' will have to leave.

Roberto don go.

The real yahoo boys are Dejong, Lenglet and Fati. They're all earning Saudi wages @Catalonia....

BlaqFaze:
I feel he's wasting at RB...even though he's putting in a good shift atm, he'll offer alot more at CB

From what I've seen, he's a better RB than CB. He does well against fast/tricky wingers but not so well against tall/mobile strikers.

He'll continue as a RB for club and country!

andrewbaba44:
My defender

Very underrated guy

Underrated by who? Those who actually watch the games knows Kounde is rock solid unless you're talking about those who want Lord Gusto to start over him.

andrewbaba44:
Gbrance yet to score from open play and they are in the quarter finals already

Owngoal is really the player of the tournament so far alongside musiala

Interesting

Their defence is strong....

mostob:
Na Deco dey collect salary, na Yamal dey work.

Lol apparently, yes.

But if Nico won't collect a reasonable salary then make e dey him dey biko. We are where we are today because of unreasonable wages/transfers.

Meanwhile Yamal 🤝 Nico

andrewbaba44:
Nico Williams earns more than Bruno fernandes Lmao

Bilbao are very rich ,they don’t buy outside basque players and they make a lot of money and spend limited on transfers ,even his elder brother earns more than him

Raheem sterling and Reece James are the only Chelsea players currently earning more than nico Williams

Inaki earns more than 250k per week?

Source??

Android17:
Of course, I am referring to City [because the context is around how Nico's skillset can work in the EPL]. Nico is not going to sign for Everton for e.g.

Very well then. I thought you meant generally...

andrewbaba44:
Nico is earning 250k ,I know my broda ,that is ansu fati current salary ,lol

Bro lenglet is earning close to 400k weekly while being on loan for the past 2 seasons

Barca pays their player more than mancity and psg aside Messi neymar and mbappe .

Lewandowski and gundogan earns more than all epl players since Ronaldo left Man U

I don tell you our problem ,believe me

Won’t Even talk about European highest paid player FDJ

Exactly why we're broke...atrocious wages/useless management. Imagine Fati 😂

If Nico can't earn normal wages, make e dey him dey abeg.

Android17:
This is not just not true. The lowest blocks are in the EPL. Even in this game, Nico does not get that chance if Georgia are not pushing up. I've never seen 3 banks of players crowding the wingers in Spain.

You can link me to the games where La Liga teams are playing low blocks to the degree we see in the EPL. You won't find it because it is not true.

You're not watching Laliga man.

I watch EPL more but as Barca fan I watch Laliga too and I'll tell you the truth that Laliga is the complete definition of low block. They don't come out ooo.

Once a Laliga team feels you're better, they'll just defend with 9 players then leave a guy up top. You'll have like 80% of the ball but game will still be 0:0 or 0:1 in their favour.

Unless you mean City facing low blocks...like only Citeh

oliverano:


5:1 or 4:1 ft!

Alright, on to the next one for Yamal and co!

Android17:
Yamal is a generational talent and he will be the best player in the world in a couple or so years.

🙏 🙏 🙏🤲

I hope so 🤞

Yamal start scoring goals ooo. I know you're very young but start banging them in 🙏

5:1 or 4:1 ft!

FirstbornWds:
Just like it would have been if we succumbed to Inter's bid for Messi.

Or Fabio Capelo's bid for Messi while at Juventus!

Looking at what happened today, even if world best is on crutches, Southgate will be more than happy to have him on the pitch.

Great coach!

raumdeuter:
You said it

That boy show us shege for Laliga. I Sabi am wella lol

Jamiuokolaa:
Who do you think deserves the award this season?

Vinicus Jnr.....easy

For the memes we can give it to Rudiger or Kroos if Germany wins it.

Bellingham isn't really him and should not win.

World best will score in the last minute. Mark this down

BlueMann:
So Saka will indeed play left back

Saka LB in this tourney under Southgate was inevitable. I actually saw it coming when he called up injured Shaw.

I think we'll see it alot more now from the start if England do progress with Palmer as a right winger.

Omoluabi16:
But will they with this predictable pattern? No big deal in beating Slovakia or Switzerland. Reaching another final would be of no use because they'd get eaten real good.

I think the question will answer itself at the conclusion of the game.

There's a big deal beating Switzerland ooo. Dem be comfam serious dark horse whatever that means.

Android17:
Guehi was most at fault for the goal. I wonder why Oliverano my guy thinks he is playing well.

I know but he's been the most solid player for England in this tournament. My judgement was not just based on today's game sha

Leyqute:
There are times to run behind, there are times to come into midfield. So far, almost all of the players are doing the wrong things at the wrong times, Foden included.

Exactly, now we're saying same thing. They're badly coached and everyone should be called out not just Foden.

Omoluabi16:
England path to the final


Poor Bellingham can kiss his ballon' dor dreams goodbye because he has done nothing in this tournament.my boy palmer too wasted..

But the game isn't over and England can still get to the final nah.
