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.

I have forgotten about Greenwood completely...If he ever comes back, fine but if he doesn't, I have moved on...

Oasis007:
Sancho can conveniently play on both wings, hence sending Elanga on Loan won't have any significant effect on the Squad.

Martial can also play on the right wing as well. I'm not sold on Gapko yet, make em no turn to Gecko for United.

I'll rather hope and wait for Greenwood to return, so Sancho and Rashford would be competing for the RW.

We need 4 first team wingers and 2 CFs...Only in any case of injury crisis should Sancho play as a LWF again or if he prefers the LW, let's go ahead and sign 2 RWFs...We need serious competition for places...See how Martial played vs Liverpool because he knows Ronaldo is on the bench so he had to male a good impression as a CF and he did...

If we're not signing Gakpo, we should go all out for Carrasco...I am sure Atletico will deal.

ovoP:
carassco.. even psv fans I've interacted with on YouTube comment sections say he's not ready.. the guy lacks flair also in his game.. what he offers, we already have in elanga and rashford

I don't mind Carrasco though...For a fair price, I'd say yes...

Oasis007:
Gapko seems more a right winger than a CF. We've got the wing so much covered. I watched some of his clips on YouTube, and kinda lose interest in him to be honest.

I'll rather hope we keep CR7, let him and Martial be competing for CF. Go all out to get both Antony and FDJ before the window closes.

Gakpo can compete with Rashford whilst Elanga goes on loan...

For the RWF, Antony and Sancho should battle for a starting berth while Martial and Ronaldo share the CF duties...

If we don't get Gakpo, Elanga stays and it makes it easier for Rashford to retain his place because Elanga can't challenge him which is what I don't want...

Carrasco for 20-25m will be shrewd business though...

Oasis007:
CARABAO CUP DRAW

Villa again...

City vs Chelsea will be tough...

Arsenal vs Brighton will be entertaining...

ChristoBam:
Not this Gapko sha. Been shit since I started paying attention.

So, who would you rather have us buy?

PSV don't look like making the UCL we can get Gakpo for a cheaper fee now...Let's get Antony and Gakpo and our attack will be ready.

afrodoc2:
I am definitely not biased against Bruno. I just felt it was risky to do because if it had turned into wrestling match between him and the Liverpool players it is not beyond the ref to issue yellow card to both parties. Who started it is not usually taken into consideration.

Even with the explanation he still used the word "biased"...I no get time to argue or explain my self further...

Kantebets:
Whoever cast this spell on Chelsea is too heartless

Whatever is happening to Chelsea seems so awkward

Boehly and Tuchel needs deliverance

Kilishihunter:
I dey tell am why fdj might snub them for united cause of a double pivot role, e shift go casemiro come man u for money, Wetin be my own?

I knew he won't come back with a worthy response...

Expert17:
30 seconds -1 minute is always allocated for goal celebration and game restart, so nothing like time wasting from Bruno.

He picked the ball first, any yellow card there will go the person trying to force the ball off him.

Okay...

Expert17:
Funny you guys don't even know the rule of football

If Liverpool was winning, will Salah rush to the ball?

Who was meant to restart? who should pick the ball from the net?

Bruno picked the ball as we are meant to restart and Salah blocked and tried to force the ball from him, so he should have allowed Salah??

If Salah had been more forceful, maybe they'd have ended up pulling themselves which would have seen both get carded...This isn't about Bruno, I have seen teams who are chasing a goal rush a goal keeper for picking up the ball after pulling one back and the goalie is always punished if a fiasco results from his reluctance to release the ball...

JayromWrites:
I think United needed that breather

Liverpool were on the ascendancy even before the goal.

Yeah it was cynical and risky but not worth dragging really

That was a stupid move, he was lucky it was Salah and not another players who would have been more aggressive thus creating a scene that could have warranted the ref to act...

He was on a yellow so, it was not necessary...

Illimitable:
Milner is an idiöt.

There was no reason to commit that much to a shot. Alisson would have saved from there.

He should have trusted his goalie. If Milner stood his ground, Sancho would have been in trouble but his slide gave Sancho all the space in the world to cause further damage.

If it was VVD that sold himself with that slide, they wouldn't have blamed the player behind for not rushing out with the speed of sound to block the shot but rather VVD for going to the ground so fast...
