I keep saying it, Tinubu, Obi and Atiku have occupied public offices before now so, rather than listen to stories, it's better to take a look back at their time in office and see if what they're saying now is in tandem with what they did when they had the constitutional powers are responsibility to develop their respective states...

For me, Tinubu's age is the only downside to his candidature and that's enough for me not to support him.

Obi is just too deceptive, he plays to the gallery and for me, that's a red flag...Another thing about him is his subtle attempt to divide the country along religious lines...

Atiku is a big No. We can't have another Northerner after 8 years of Buhari, it's not just right...

The 3 front line aspirants for one reason or another are not going to do any better...

JayKayMaybachz:
Henderson mentioned recently that he never spoke to ETH so that he won't tell him not to leave.

It was already listed that we going to get a GK.. RB.. 2 CMs and two attackers.

During FDJ negotiations.. Utd signed Martínez, Malacia and Eriksen.

Manager reiterated he'd only sign proper player which he chooses. So why blame the board??

We will shoot down that agenda...

Expert17:
This is Ten Hag's honeymoon period, so he would be backed as this was the MAIN reason he accepted the role.

ETH asked for FDJ, due to his issue with Barcelona we couldn't complete the deal, were you expecting the club to just sign anybody without the manager's consent? or you want us to kidnap him.
If you are sure ETH had an alternative, mention it...

Nobody was aware Casemiro was available this summer, if not PSG or Man City would have gone for him. His availability was made known 2 weeks ago, and ETH approved the deal and it was easy to complete as there was no competition. So nothing concerns Brentford and Brighton's loss with this deal.

Henderson (the only ball-playing GK at Old Trafford) and the other senior GK - Grant; left before Ten Hag joined. You don't have to be a genius to know that we would sign another GK or you expect the club to enter a 60+ games season with a shaky GK and a pensioner- Heaton.

We just signed a RW for 100m after spending 80m for that same position last summer, hopefully you won't blame Glazers if he flops.

Sancho no try at all...We shouldn't be talking about RW again if that guy had delivered...

eph12:
We spent 2+ months pursuing FDJ, and no one else. Show me any credible report of united bidding for casemiro before the season started. This same keeper they want to sign, show me where this was mentioned before the season started. In fact show me where any keeper was mentioned. If we hadn't lost those games, we would have still been waiting for FDJ by now.

You think this is how ETH wants to play all his matches? He knows the team can't continue to play like this. He may have won, but he knows that many things have to change, starting with some players.

I have mentioned it here many times that Mctom and Fred can't be starting our games in the CM anywhere. This your Fred yarns no follow. I don't follow players like abobaku

You do realize that your argument points to the narrative that EtH is the one slowing things down with his demands that the club signs his preferred targets?

If we had other options since the window opened and we were slow to close down the deals, I'd agree that the board were once again failing but no, we only resorted to plan B when it was obvious that plan A (EtH's plan) was not feasible...

EtH is only now open to other options because the window is near closure and he has seen first hand how bad McFred can be away from non-competitive games...

Expert17:
So we haven't signed players after winning games?

We signed Antony after winning back-to-back games, so rest with your agenda.

No be me bench Fred, so calm down

Hahaha Abeg make una no make me laugh...

eph12:
After deceiving ETH that they can press during preseason. Those guys are real con men.

Na today you sabi our players?

I didn't see the game but I agree with those that are of the opinion that Rashford, McTom and Bruno need bench time...

Calm down...

odizeey:
Why this man dey start Rashford and Elnaga?

The man serious so?
No dey bench Odogwu na.

Ronaldo wants out, no manager will be fine with all the drama...

BlaqFaze:
Ajax don't need Man U's money...stop talking as if they're broke. They're in the Champions League, something you don't have and they'll keep on making loads of money in player sales.

Ajax are pulling the strings here, they are not losing in any scenario...the writing is clear on the wall...take your 90m and fvck off

You are mentally slow, please use the door...

Expert17:
If the fault is from Manchester United, Antony won't come out to rant.

We have moved from 1st choice to 2nd choice this summer, Timber to Martinez, Sommer to Trapp to Dubravka, De jong to Casemiro.....if ETH had a 2nd choice RW we would have moved on.

They know but it doesn't sound palatable...We can't drag the board with this so, let's pretend we have 9ther options on the table so the agenda can fly...

melodyogonna:
Be like Ajax dey crase. Let's try signing Ascencio on loan

Ajax will never have this kind of opportunity again to sell Antony for mega bucks...Palace had an opportunity to sell Zaha a couple of years back but their demands was way off the mark and now, no one seems interested in Zaha or 8s willing to pay up so, they are stuck with Zaha...He'll either retire they or leave on a free someday...Palace case is even better as they play in the EPL thus make enough money but Ajax on the other hand need the money...

We will see who loses at the end...

Expert17:
Correct, Ajax complicated the deal and ETH doesn't have a secondary RW target, if he does we would've moved on already.

If we finally sign this guy for 100m and he flops, they will drag Glazers for wasting funds (Maguire, AWB, Pogba, Di Maria etc).

Our fan base is unique...They're willing to make excuses for Ajax just so they can drive home their agenda...

buksarki:
Any body that said to you that Tinubu build Lagos is an illiterate. Lagos State was a capital of Nigeria for 77yrs, most of development was concentrated in Lagos than any state, all the foreign embassies and companies was there, The only functional seaport and International Airport has being there even before Tinubu becomes Governor. The Lagos allocation is double or triple that of Anambra State. The whole 8yrs of Tinubu as a Governor he did not build anything new , he only pointing fingers to achievements of his successors and federal government. Abuja is just 30yrs what other state aside Lagos you can compare in terms of infrastructures.

Below is Lagos of 1970. Very clean before the advent of Agboro master build Makoto floating slum.

Calabar too was once a Capital, can you compare Calabar today with Enugu or Uyo?

Una go just dey misyarn anyhow...

Expert17:
They inflated the agreed fee for Martinez + Antony, rejected 80m for Antony, and now 90m which is more than their annual income as a club.

We have a good relationship with Ajax, if they are not quoting impossible figures we would have signed Antony already.

You don't need to tell them, they know it but they just want to rant...

We were going to sign Lisandro and Antony but Ajax reneged on the agreement we had after we completed the signing of Lisandro but trust those who want to push an agenda against the board to be blind to reality...

They're even coming up with justification for Ajax just so they can ridicule the board...Talk about agenda...

$90m o! For a player in the Eredivisie and Manchester United fans are saying Ajax can't find a replacement...Who cares about a replacement when such huge figures are quoted? It's either a lie or the guys at Ajax are insane...

kingBolton:
Let me also add that inclusion of trade subjects should be made complusory in all secondary schools not just technical secondary schools. Electricity, carpentry automobiles etc can fetch a reasonable amount of income for someone even if the person is not able to further his education. Secondary school education should be given a priority.

Gbam! JSS 1-3 should be taught entrepreneurship....SS 1-3 every student most pick one entreprise and be trained (TVET - Technical & Vocational Education & Training)...Upon graduation, grants should be given to the 10 best studentsto startup a business...Not everyone must proceed to study further.

Ellexy:
Naso you wan do us this season?

My guy relax, Igo deliver...

We should sign a CF or a wingerthat can play as a striker else we are on a long thing...

Oasis007:
Leave memory lane abegi. I'm still regretting DVB till now. I thought he's gonna come good under his previous manager but that Fóol is certainly a big waste.

Getting players from Eredivisie is a big Risk!

Okay bro.

Oasis007:
Gakpo ko, Gecko ni. To some Fans, just get in new names, regardless of values or potentials. Chelsea spent fortunes to get generational failures like Havertz and Ziyech, even Lukaku.... you and I know they are seriously regretting it.

Arsenal spent almost all their account balance on Pepe, it ends in pepperish tears. Same PSV that sold Depay to us? Depay was like prime Messi when he was in PSV. In fact YouTube got tired of me watching every clip of Depay on their platform.

Gecko should please join another Club, he's not what we need now. Let's get Antony before the window closes..... that's all matter now.

You don't want us to go down memory lane trust me...Nistelrooy, Park, Ronaldo, the Eriksen you're celebrating, Robben, Van Der Vaart, Sneijder, Stam, Seedorf, Suarez, Ibra etc...

Nothing is guaranteed so, for every Depay, you have numerous others who have made it big...

jargooflife912:
You are fine with Elanga? Lol

Our fan base sha...

ChristoBam:
You still don't get it. If Antony comes in. The starting lineup to me is.

Sancho. Martial. Antony.

ETH can decide to for Rashford instead of Martial.

You're saying Elanga is Rashford's only competition which is wrong.

Sancho will start almost every game. Antony will do as well. How does this work if Sancho doesn't play on the left?

Baba if you don't get it, forget it...

ChristoBam:
No one here was against Malacia's signing when he got linked to us.

Question is have you actually watched this Gakpo?

The point is that we need someone to keep Rashford on his toes be it Gakpo or whoever and that person should be someone who can easily be trained to become a CF...Rashford will be relaxed if he has Elanga as his competitor for a starting berth...

ovoP:
did I mention any of elanga and garnacho or amad.. even of we bring in players, let's bring in the right 1s.. Gakpo isn't even better than elanga presently.. I mentioned martial rashford sancho Antony as attacking options with bruno or eriksen moving to the wings if necessary..

Okay.

ovoP:
you can't have 2 starting caliber wingers in 1 position and think they'll stay, there's a reason sterling left City even jesus.. they will want to start, and eventually leave.

Gakpo or any player of his caliber will bid his time even though they can easily start if the coach decides...

The focus shouldn't be on Gakpo, the point is that we need a LWF to compete with Rashford. I don't think Elanga is that play neither do I think Garnacho is ready to start every game now...

On the right wing, it's the same thing, Amad and Pellestri can't compete with Sancho so we had better sign a player is up to the task else Sancho and Rashford will see themselves as untouchables as there's little or no competition for their places...

ovoP:
you mentioned players that can play different position in the attack.. bruno and eriksen, even sancho martial rashford can play on the left.. rashford martial even bruno can play forward as a false 9. Sancho and Antony can play on the left.. unless you're signing someone to start, we don't need gakpo..

Did you take your time to look at the Liverpool sqaud? City? Spurs?

Does the quality not ring a bell? How many attackers in our team will start for those clubs?

Even Ronaldo should not be relied upon if we are serious about making sustainable progress...The Elanga, Amad and Garnacho we are talking about are not even as good as their City and Liverpool counterparts...

ovoP:
have you watched gakpo.. the guy isn't that better than elanga.. man united isn't a place to develop talent. The guy should go to a Southampton or Brighton first. He has no flair to his game and can only beat his Man with pace.. he prefers the lw like rashford.. true is you don't need 6 extremely good attackers, Liverpool don't have that, city don't have that.. you're going to have bunch of unhappy players, especially if 1 team is winning.

You can always tweak formation if an injury crisis.. even bruno and eriksen, can play wing

In the past couple of seasons, City had Sterling and Foden for the LW, Mahrez and Silva for the RW...It was only last season that Silva started playing centrally as a CM/AM

Let me show you the options Liverpool have in attack...

LWF - Diaz/Jota/Carvalho

CF - Nunez/Jota/Firmino

RWF - Salah/Jota/Elliot

Bar Jota, they have two good alternatives for each position...

For City...

LWF - Foden/Grealish

CF - Haaland/Alvarez

RWF - Mahrez/Silva

Spurs have...

LWF - Son/Richarlison

CF - Kane/Richarlison

RWF - Kulusevski/Moura

They're still chasing Adama Traore

It's funny that all of a sudden you feel we are one player away from being okay in attack...We need at least two wingers of which one has to be adept at playing as a CF...

Elanga, Garnacho, Amad and Pellestri are not ready yet...The talent is there but bar Elanga none of them have played enough first team games for us to count on them at this stage. The idea is for them to have a breakout season should we be hit with an injury crisis and not to plan with them at the centre of things or thereabout at this stage of the season...

ChristoBam:
If we want a striker, we should get a striker. You want to bring a left winger from the Dutch league to come play as a CF in the EPL.

To me, this guy's biggest flaw is decision making. We'd be loaning him out by next summer if we sign him.

Why do you like misrepresenting someone else's opinion?

I said we can get him to compete with Rashford in the mean time whilst Elanga and Garnacho develop their game and their physique afterwards he can be trained to play as a CF so he can compete with Martial post Ronaldo as he has the qualities to play as a CF if well coached but you don change am to mean I said he should come and play as a CF...You guys sometimes overrate the EPL.

If a small team signs him and in 2-3 seasons we return for him and the fee is £80m it's still you guys that will curse the club for failing to buy him now...There's no guarantees as far as transfers are concerned, it's all a risk...

When Danny Ings was at Burnley, I suggested we get him as an option coming from the bench but almost everyone here objected to it but looking back now, Ings would've done a very good job for us...

I am also certain if someone here had suggested Malacia for 12m, some of you would've countered the person...The thing is for some of you, if the price quoted for a player is not in the region of £70-100m then the player is not good enough...

ChristoBam:
Like I said up there. It's just blindness and stubbornness at this point. Or you just like to hold a contrary opinion to everything, no matter how stupid it even sounds to you.

Defending the undefendable is making you come off in a way I won't like to describe so it won't turn to trading of insults. That's all I'll say.

I saw your first post and to be honest, you fired the first shot and it was aimed at nitr.ogen...It was not necessary and that's why he was brash in his reply...Ni.trogen is not one that goes the way of insult...

No matter what, try to make your points without insulting others as you have been doing before now even if yours is the popular opinion...

Nezzjnr:
Heard he has Depay vibes

Plays like Depay in his PSV but with less of the step overs...He scores fantastic goals...

Mikechinos:
Gakpo is not good enough IMO he's not even better than Elanga. Elanga is really good at the LW. We have Elanga, rashford, garnacho, and Sancho comfortable at the LW why do we need gakpo?. We only need Antony and we still have amad and pellistir

Elanga is better on the left but he still is not ready...Garnacho has a high ceiling but he too is not ready for the big stage...

Sancho? Is he not a right winger again? Pellestri and Amad are not ready...

Gakpo is more physically developed and can be coached to play as a CF...He has a good shot on him and his finishing is very good...Now PSG are out of contention for the UCL group stage, I think his price will drop to around £25-30m which is fair...I'd loan out Elanga and possibly Garnacho as well as Pellestri and Amad.
