Garnacho should just keep his head down and put in the hard work and he'll be a world beater. From hus looks, I suspect he puts in a lot into training and that's good for his future...

Mainoo looked a bit nervous and conservative in his approach but with more minutes, he'll get used to the pressure that comes with playing regularly for the first team abd will only get better.

I also noticed that Maguire now releases the ball faster compared to the sluggish Maguire that will dilly dally on the ball in the past couple of seasons. I don't know if it's because he is playing from the right now or if it's something EtH has spoken to him about or it's just brain reset after spending time on the bench...

timay1:
Probably why ETH decided to take charge of the U21 himself.

Man saw the abominations in Mctominay and Elanga and flipped

For real?

To be honest, it's tiring seeing those guys spam the thread with Messi's pictures...Of course I was happy that Messi and Argentina finally lifted the world cup but for me, it changed nothing as I already considered Messi as the greatest that ever did it not because of trophies won but his footballing abilities which he deployed on the field of play.

The world win was more for the doubters and those who rode on the bandwagon of 'He has not won the world cup trophy thus cannot be the GOAT'...They have been silenced.

Any Messi fan who is still basking in the euphoria of the win was never really convinced hence the incessant trolling...

Gambit001:
Bagging both players (felix and co) will be nice. But i don't know if the glazers will be will be willing to spend up to 100mil for both purchase and loan of Felix and purchase of weghorst when they plan on selling the club this year

If we get both players we will be set for the remainder of the season...

afrodoc2:
ETH switched it up in Ajax. Yes, he used Tadic through the middle in previous seasons but in his last season it was Haller who was used though the middle as a target man.

Also, i am a huge fan of Joao Felix but Tadic playing through the middle in the ere division and the slower paced Champs League is different from using him there in the EPL.
Joao Felix through the middle in the EPL would be a big risk, but if it pays off it would take us to another level. His ceiling is very high.

I am all about the bolded...If we can negotiate better and they lower the loan fee while retaining the clause that gives us first option to buy him in the summer then, I'd say we get him ASAP

ChristineC:
we have no target man in the team. we could use one to mix up the attacking style.

I am not against his signing rather correcting a wrong impression. We can do with both Felix and Weghorst...

kozmicity:
Weghorst I like, Weghorst I want. I even forgot someone like him existed. He could flop, but he fits ETH player striker profile more than Gakpo and Felix.

How exactly? Erik ten Hag played Tadic through the middle more like a false 9. Felix can play that role superbly...Weghorst is more a target man.

eph12:
He can play across that Frontline. If we have extra funds, we should get him o.

That boy is super talented. The way our fans dismiss players you would think we have Messi and prime Ronaldo in our attack...

Leyqute:
That 350k for Sancho was too much.

How’s Bruno and Rashford going to feel if they perform better and get paid less?

That’s the kind of stuff that kills the harmony in the dress room

200k base salary is just fine any other addition should be performance related...If Rashford and Bruno want to earn 500k, they should reach the heights of the likes of Messi, Modric etc...

The club has been very wasteful.

MRTA7:
I'm not sure. The club is broker than broke.

The Glazer want to sell thus are reluctant to invest...

BlueMann:
My chiefs, It's my birthday today

Birthday blessings bro...

Expert17:
Bruno is useless and shitty

Oya bench him and win games let's see

Borntosmoke:
But this Antony is a handsome boy. Onething I love about man u is that we dont buy ugly players.

If you talk this thing for viewing center na slap from nowhere you go collect...

ouzo1:
Na dis small form wey We don get make all of una suddenly don tactical football experts Nothing person no go see for this thread.

So we should all be like you and keep mute instead of sharing our opinions here? When will you lead a discussion so others can have a go at you?

Chukwuemeka and Zakaria...

The bench warmers are leading the charge but it's not enough...

Searchingvictor:
This ETH I'm seeing no believe in defensive game oh. Na wetin kill us for 1st leg be that

He has got to be pragmatic else we suffer another embarrassing defeat...

De Bruyne finished us in the first leg because Eriksen couldn't deal with him so, we need an extra body of strength together with Casemiro to shut down the midfield...

Against City we should pack the midfield with Case, Fred and McTom...

Upfront should be Bruno and Rashford...

If we need goals in the second half or we need width then Martial and Antony should step in...Martial need chop bench for some games...

Another tempting proposition is to go with 3 at the back with Varane, Martinez and Shaw as the 3 CBs while Malacia and Dalot play as wingbacks with Case, Fred and Eriksen in the middle...

We need to beat or draw City just for the team's confidence going forward. Anything close to a repeat of the first encounter might see the players begin to doubt themselves...

paafin:
They discuss football in other threads..

Here, it's always Messi and Ronaldo..

Una dey destroy this thread

If you want to read about football discussion then Arsenal and recently Barcelona thread is your best bet but certainly not Chelsea's thread where 90% of the opinions expressed is tied to an agenda. Another thread that us still sane is the Madrid thread...

This thread wouldn't have been lost to trolls if someone didn't lose his zeal after Argentina won the world cup and started promoting different conspiracy theories here...

Joezinho:
”..Let’s stick with football and the bants that comes with it..”? Really Patrick? These are posts of him making attacks at me unprovoked and you never for once cautioned or adviced him. I can bet you were amongst those liking his posts. So now it’s senseless to belittle another person for normal bants? A clown that constantly belittles, insults and denigrates your club and it’s players? Honestly, stanship ain't no cult, stanship doesn't mean leave your thinking faculties home, stanship is gradually making some of ya'll dumb and delusional..

I respect you but dude, don’t you ever quote me to spew this kind of trash again!!! Afobeear, timburl have been on this thread trolling incessantly , quoting me and other Ronaldo fans. I never replied them.. Of course I troll Messi fans. Do I insult them?

I gave him just a lil taste of his own medicine and you guys are crying and ejaculating in my mentions. If your fellow Messianic clown comes online and takes great pleasure in being an insufferable jerk, thrive on insults, he should expect worse treatment!! The other attention-craving gobshite called christoclown foolishly quoted me and I ignored him.. I expect another messianian to quote me again.

Your insignificant opinions have been duly noted and of course, appropriately discarded.

Honestly, I didn't see any of it as I mostly skip pages. I only saw Christo's reply to your comment and thought it was wrong for you to go personal...No vex...

I am not a fan of going personal because I have seen how far people can take things. They're folks on the Chelsea thread that will probably not say hi to themselves if they ever met away from Nairaland because of the vile words they've used on themselves here...

Andrewbaba44, let's stick to football and the bants.

When you go to that EPL thread you'll see first hand how the insults here have turned guys into sworn enemies...

Jokerman:
NEW AGENDA

Manchester City were Premier League champions before signing Haaland, now they’re 7 points off the top even tho he has scored 21 league goals.

They should not have signed him, he made them worse

This agenda go sweet to agend...

Joezinho:
This clown thinks his trollings dey pain me.

On top Ronaldo when nor sabi me? Dude, i only asked you a question and you are typing argumentative, expository, narrative and descriptive essays..

I hope you are winning offline because that’s what really matters. You can’t spend all these hours and time trolling and still go back to eating “mummy thank you”..

Happy new year to you bro. I just finished cooking. Come and join me.

Bro, you use to troll Messi fans here too so, it's pointless posting pictures of the food and drinks in your abode...

No one here pays the other's bills so, e no make sense to attempt to belittle another person for just normal bants...Funny enough, the man at the other end might be living your dreams or otherwise...

Let's stick to football and the bants that comes with it...

WhoDeyHause:
Why are you supporting them? Instead of you to br happy there are many loopholes for erik don hang to exploit when you jam them in ulokpa you are busy pitying them.

Barca na my second team, if it's not Manchester United, it has to be Barcelona...

Terrible officiating...

Jokerman:
He had great players like Etoo, Henry, Pessi, Xavi, Yaya, Puyol... please juxtapose with current man utd team....

Still not an excuse for Rashford's misbehavior...

Expert17:
The only reliable forward in our squad is Rashford.

But to some, we don't need Gakpo. Ok o

Abeg no start...

Jokerman:
This coach better bring on Rashford quickly....

You no be Pep or Mou, you no get world class players, and you dey discipline your best player Rashford on the bench .... wth?

Pep that sent Deco and Ronaldinho packing?

You do not know what Rashford did so, it best you calm down...

nitrogen:
I don correct am. Na Imo state guy na.

nitrogen:
Just imagine what Ganarchi missed. Oluwa, wetin dey occur?

Hehehe Ganarchi of Abia State...

Make una calm down, Martial will score the winning goal.

The deepest part of hell awaits Ole Gollum the clueless. First of his name , king of the clueless ones.

Patrickmuf, Expe.rt17, Christo.bam, Andrewb.aba.(and other fellow Messi fans)

I know it's coming late but congratulations to us all for Messi exploits at the WC and ultimately winning the grand price.
So sad I no dey to celebrate am with you guys when e dey hot

Hope say Una don pepper dem Cr7 fans like Joezin.ho, Lostmy.zeal, Trevor and Treblech.amp dem

My guy, no time for trolling, I am just happy Messi finally has his hands on the World Cup trophy not because I think he needed it but because it silences the haters...

Anambra is just a name but that place has been in existence since forever.

Also, do not discount the population demographics too, Lagos is way more populated thus it takes a lot more to govern the state in terms of resources and expertise compared to Anambra. It's like saying a man who earns 1m with 20 children is at an advantage point compared to a man who earns 70k and has just a child to carter for...

This is not me holding brief for Tinubu but stating the obvious...
