This Nigeria women’s basketball team dey try.

Over try...

If we don't sign at least 3 players this week, we will struggle big time...Arsenal, City and Liverpool are stronger than us. Aston Villa, Spurs and Chelsea have strengthened. Aston Villa have signed a lot of players to ensure they don't struggle like Newcastle did last season with the UCL meaning more games. Tottenham will only get better and Chelsea are still a good side. If they get things right, they'll likely challenge for the top 4 spot.

We on the other hand are practically going into the season with the same team from last season. Yoro is out injured, Zirkzee hasn't trained with the team yet, so if we don't get new players in and fast, we will struggle.

Wetin go pain me pass na if Hans Flick cook at Barca

Some fans here say no coach dey wey better pass Erik ten Hag. Same summer wey Liverpool, Milan, Juve, Barcelona, Napoli and other top clubs hire new managers.

Kilishihunter:
His defending still needs work, I would say he's stylistically similar to grimaldo, balde is the one with great defending

Thank you for the insights.

Kilishihunter:
Then you must be talking about Alex Valle then, he played as a RB this morning but he's initially a LB, he impressed on loan at levante last season though he might leave for just €3m if we don't agree terms with him soon

I think I like the kid maybe because I am left footed. He is very comfortable on the ball. I don't know if he is very good at defending though.

Puntingnoob:
You forgot the biggest problem of them all, the bald headed fraud named Ten Hag.

Make season start fes before I reason him matter. INEOS sef are in trouble of things go south because he was supposed to be shown the door.

Jamiuokolaa:
But why are the big clubs avoiding Federico Chiesa?

Juve are literally hawking him for peanuts all over Europe, yet no one seems interested.

Injury concerns?

Yes, his injury record is that bad.

Kilishihunter:
Pau victor the scorer of the two goals, he can play across the front line but he's mainly a striker, also Barça atletic top scorer last season reason why club still went for him to be in the first team dynamics alongside the academy

Is he left footed? There's one I saw on the ball using his left foot. I think that player has it in him.

What is the name of the kid who played the RWF position against Madrid? The network didn't allow me to see the whole game.

CrystalTiger:
Heading into the new season with Eriksen, Casemiro and Mctominay as midfield options, smh..

Our options on the bench are no match for our rivals. In defence, we still parade AWB, Maguire, Lindelöf, and Evans. The LB position is even worse because we don't know what to expect from Dr Shaw and Malacia won't be back until October and nobody knows if he will ever be the average player (Truth be told) he was before the injury.

In midfield, you have mentioned them but you forgot to add Hannibal.

In attack, our options off the bench seem to be Sancho, Antony, Rashford (yes, he has to settle for a bench role for Garnacho to start), Zirkzee. Only Zirkzee is promising of the bunch and he just might be a regular starter but at whose expense?

zeusis:
You think say na SUG presidential candidate be maresca?

Very soon we go dey hear Greatest Gbo Gbo!

Antony should be made to return half of the money we paid before he is chased away...

Casemiro should be sold...

McTominay has to leave...

AWB is mid, he should join West Ham...

Lindelöf has to go, not negotiable...

Eriksen should go, he is very well-appreciated but Manchester United is not a retirement home...

Sancho should be shown the door...

Rashford should only be an option from the bench, he is simply not good enough to be a starter...

Hannibal and Pellistri should be sold...

Bring in the following players:

De Ligt...

A LB and a RB...

Ugarte...

Zubimendi...

A winger who can comfortably play either wing.

We should be more ruthless, if a player is not good enough, move them on, it's pointless keeping the likes of Hannibal and Pellistri for too long until their value depreciates...

Casemiro shouldn't be so easily beaten.

afrodoc2:
Amass against Salah. God abeg o.

He needs the experience.

You guys like complaining. It's just preseason, una go draw City for league start to dey form king Kong...Conference league merchants.

Izzou Unlimited22 come outside now

Leave protest ground or carry your protest to Stamford bridge

Izzou seems to have decamped or is he still doing one leg in and one leg out like brother Kenneth?

Ibime:
Shey him still get hernia

Dat guy na cancer to us right now

It's too early to start writing the book of lamentations...

izzou:
[color=royalblue]Instead of burning and resorting to violence (something we cannot control), it is better we opt for a new movement politically.

That's why i cannot subscribe to the opinion that political parties are just vehicles.[/color]

You are right on point.

adebayo201:
The one for Sancho ńkọ́??

Na Sancho money Afrodoc take enter forbes list...

GloriousGbola:
You think the politicians are the only problem? They came from the people. One of the legacies of the military is a civil service mentality where people wait for the government.

The people are saying they want a change. Nigerians will back any leader that will come in and prioritise the strengthening of institutions over individuals...

raumdeuter:
Do you know that's how Libyans wanted to target their political class and how it devolved into chaos?

When you target them then you get pushback from their fans too and before you know it everyone don dey scatter everywhere

Something has to give. If we decide to go for the corrupt politicians then all of them have to be targeted...

GloriousGbola:
I'm sorry but you sound like those northerners right now. Any violence will touch people like us not govt big wigs. And it is people like us who will find it hard to recover. Governor will just restore whatever he lost with another contract and life continues.

What I'm advocating for is systematic cleansing. One that will see the citizens chase the current political class (Across all political parties)...If it means the country split up then so be it.

We just can't continue like this, it's not sustainable...I was recently transferred to Ikom (Cross River State), the money in this place is more than what you have anywhere in the State because it is like the nerve centre of cocoa trading. Cameroonians bring their cocoa to come and sell here and most of them reside here. There's so much money here ( a bag of cocoa goes for over 700k) but guess what, for the 2 months I have been here, I have not seen light.

It was only recently that the people knew the value of cocoa. All of these are exported and we buy finished products for more. We have a government that is crying that there's no money but a proactive government will bring in the right investors and we will have a cocoa factory here.

Go to Benue, with all the oranges, there's no beverage factory, you need to see how oranges are wasting away. Yet, we have people in government that are clueless. There exist a lot of opportunities in Nigeria.

Go to Agbokim and see the beautiful waterfall yet in that community there's no hotel, the road leading to the community is bad. Politicians travel abroad to visit places like Agbokim waterfall but the one nature has blessed us with, we can't harness them.

Baba, we suppose chase all our politicians comot from this country.

izzou:
[color=royalblue]Ahn Ahn

Patrickmuf, advocating for violence ke?[/color]

Baba e reach to advocate for violence. The political class should be touched where it hurts them. When Nigerians are ready, we will go after them and leave the streets alone.

Govt has been doing what they can given the challenges they are facing. There has been oil theft, terrorism and bandits that have made some parts of the country unlivable

The fact that we are still talking about oil theft, terrorism and banditry after all these years points to the failure of government.

raumdeuter:
There is a reason why everyone is avoiding the question

What is our income as a country, what is our population
Then calculate our income per head then compare to any country with similar to develop an expectation of where our standard of living should be without Nigerian factor

What have the government done to grow the economy ever since? There's a reason governments world over do population projection and that's for planning purposes. If we are still grappling with a struggling economy after all these years, it is a pointer to the failure of the government.

TrebleChamp:
All this talk of subsidy was removed to save cost would have made sense if the same Govt didn't spend 90billion to subsidize Hajj, spend 21billion to complete a house for VP when the Aguda House is befitting, spend 150billion (allegedly) to buy a new PJ amongst other wasteful spendings, while the country grapple with hyperInflation.
You saved money by removing subsidy on Petroleum, Education, Power and then spend some of the saved money on useless projects that add no value to our economy. Will this Polithiefcians die if they do the right thing while stealing with sense, a serving Minister was recently accused of buying his forth House in Canada 1 year plus in office.
Sultan of Sokoto said in January i think that the only reason the Northern youth are not on the street protesting the hardship is because they still obey him and other Northern Leaders, that the moment they stop listening and obeying them the North and Nigeria might burn.
Crises like this could lead to a coup de ta if not well managed by the President, and this may be what the North want. After several meetings were held in Daura between Buhari and some Northern leaders, their people suddenly championed a hunger protest. I hope President Tinubu is fully in control of his Military as Commander-in-Chief, and also has spies within the rank and file.
The insensitivity of Govt to the plight of Nigerians is just too obvious and annoying, and it is so because they are never the target when the masses are running mad with anger like we are currently seeing in the North.
Govt at all levels should wake up to their responsibilities, before the unexpected happens.....

The Tinubu government is just too reactionary for my liking. No proactive steps are taken only reactionary steps. For instance, it took the call for protest for the government to suspend tax on food items, start selling 50kg bag of rice at 40k and so on. Why wait for too long? It just reeks of insensitivity to the plight of the people.

Tinubu should direct the NNPC to sell crude to Dangote at a discounted price and ensure the domestic market is served first before Dangote thinks of exporting. He should convene a meeting of all the Governors and immediately direct the suspension of taxes on all agricultural products. If anyone here has been to Benue before especially the route that leads to Cross River through Vendeikiya, you will notice that the number of checkpoints targeting agricultural produce is just too much. A farmer or businessman/woman will settle all those checkpoints plus those of the police and army after paying the huge cost of transportation and you expect them to sell to the consumers at a cheap price? It's just not possible...

The cost of governance too is just too high. At a point where the government is complaining that the country is broke, you'd expect them to cut costs as a way of leading by example but that's not the case here.

The protest so far is a joke to me because people are in the streets causing a nuisance instead of locating the houses of these politicians and razing them to the ground. The politicians do not live on air, their houses, hotels and businesses are around us, identify them and destroy them, it's the only time they'll be alarmed to decisively respond to the demands of the citizens...

United fans: lagbaja is so terrible. He won’t even start for Burnley. If he’s starting next season then ETH is not serious

Hear the player is leaving *

United fans: we are making a very big mistake. Lagbaja is the best at snake bites in the entire europe.

The thing tire me. Other team will be out there signing players, even Arsenal who had one of the best defences in the league last season have added Calafiori even though Timber is back fit. If it was United, fans would be asking if Calafiori is better than Shaw.

The same players that frustrated us throughout last season is the one that guy is defending. Imagine if we tried to sign a LWF, you'd see clowns here telling you that the player is not better than Rashford.

cc Patrick.muf

This move is counterproductive. The government should let people protest and security agents should do their jobs, only getting involved when it turns violent. Using ethnicity as a tool to divide and conquer is archaic and should be frowned upon...

Mrviktor:
The only reason I'm going to accept for wanbisaka sale is because he has only 1 year left.

And we can't offer more than 1 year..

Yes he's not the best quality.

But looking at Last season we faced more than 100 shots.

Meaning we defend alot.

Dalot and mazrawi can't lace Aaron's boot when it comes to 1 v 1 defending

Are we supposed to be on the back foot always? How often do City and Liverpool football have to defend?

There's a standard but you rather have us keep a player that should ideally be at West Ham.

The season will start now and you'll start abusing the same AWB. You will criticise the players for being average but when it is time to ship them out, you'll be back here saying the players we are after are not better than the ones we have.

TrebleChamp:
If you know what has been going on in Lagos for days leading to this protest, you will understand why i made that joke. North initiated this protest due to hunger and hardship, and as seen today they have taken it to the extreme. But in Lagos, the narrative is that Igbos want to use the protest to destroy Lagos...

If you meant it as a joke then it's fine. The truth is that there is enough armed forces in every state to deal with any protest.

Amigoss:
You be snake, even though you are ignorance of what is happening in Lagos,you wan tell me you no see #igbosmustgo trending on social media by agbadorian bastardts....

You are always quick to attack and use gutter language. I have observed you overtime so I am least surprised.
