Abeg tell them.. man utd and real madrid deals don't take time.

People just want to rope the board in so, nothing you say will make sense to them...

We were supposed to sign both Lisandro and Antony but Ajax reneged on the agreement after selling a couple of players and raised Antony's price that's why we didn't sign him since.

Gakpo deal is heavily dependent on PSV's UCL qualification even though it is reported that he wants to join United regardless so, it makes it easier assuming Ajax refuses to deal on Antony.

We all know the FDJ issue...

We were linked to Casemiro just a couple of days back and now, he is a Manchester United player. The Glazers have messed up in the past but definitely not this window...You can argue for or against that it's because we lost our first two games but it doesn't change the fact that we have gone about the business of supporting the manager well unless in odd cases where a club refuses to sell or the player doesn't want to join.

Illimitable:
I am sure there are better wingers in Europe.

The price I am seeing is ridiculous.

€100m for Antony? Is Serge Gnabry dead?

Gnabry? I thought he just signed a new deal?

JayKayMaybachz:
Man Utd prep'n €80 + 20 Millon bid for Antony

Make them pay, it does not matter the amount...

Come on you Manchester United...

Abeg make Liverpool beat us well so that Antony, a RB and CM and possibly forward will be signed...Salah, please do it for the culture...

Casemiro might happen but then I hope we are not getting a player who has given his best to the Madrid course?

I personally think if he gives us 80% of what he is capable of then we're fine.

You're a mad man...

ChristoBam:
It's because of good structures, Madrid brought in Tchoameni and Camavinga as ready replacement for the ageing guys. Meanwhile these old guys are still performing at the highest level.

This is how we should be operating. We're looking for strikers seriously now when we discovered Ronaldo will probably leave. Something fans have been saying since we lost out on the UCL. That Ronaldo will definitely leave. Meanwhile City signed Haaland and Alavarez at once.

Incompetent people are always reactive. No planning because they're not even sure what to go for.

Not true...

melodyogonna:
We didn't start talks with Rabiot until it became obvious to ETH Fred and McTom won't do ... Obviously. That Brighton game exposed the sort of quality they would bring into the new season... If I had to guess I should think ETH planned to get FDJ or nobody, just manage wetin don already dey ground. Until McFred threatened to sack him.

You're spot on...

eph12:
lol Patrick wanted to fight me the other day when I reminded him of his yarns just some weeks ago. Oh well

Do we have an incompetent board? Yes...

Will I blane the board for what is happening now? No...I blame EtH for going after unrealistic targets worst off, it doesn't look like he has alternatives that's why we're in the position we are. What I don't understand is what you guys will rather have the board do when a manager is insisting on particular players...Even when you listen to his pressers, he is always on about how we need more players and the players must be the right ones. You want the board to go against him so they'll be blamed again?

ChristoBam:
Transfer window opened like 2 months ago, when did we start discussions for Antony?

We needed two midfielders, why did we just start the Rabiot talks last week?

ETH doesn't want Bissaka, and Liard has gone on loan. Two weeks to the end of the window and we have only one RB. When will we start discussions for a RB. They'll wait till the last minute so they'll give that excuse of high price tag.

Is there any rumor that suggested we had other options in midfield?

afrodoc2:
2 months ago you said everything was on ETH's head meaning the board was blameless.

Yesterday you said of course the board is slow and incompetent so they have a share of the blame.

Today you stated that you never said it was all on ETH's head.


Haba! Even the thunder that was sent to you don confuse.

I blame the board for not hiring a proper DoF which I have said here before but as far as this window goes, EtH takes the blame. Rangnick who had ran a proper diagnosis a couple of months prior to EtH's engagement said we needed to sign 10 players but EtH didn't want no consultant supporting him thus Rangnick left the club and what next? We spent the summer chasing FDJ and now, everyone wants to take advantage of our desperation. Why didn't EtH opt for other options? Why was he insistent on FDJ as if he is the only good CM in the world?

At this point, I won't go any further...

afrodoc2:
Before we go into all that will you first apologize to the congregation for misleading them and claiming you never said it was all on ETH?

Let's first clarify that confusion then we can go into details.

Confusion? Lol...

I maintain that EtH will be held responsible if the transfer window closes today...

You in turn, tell us what the board should have done differently regarding the players EtH wanted at the club...

afrodoc2:
You said it was solely ETH's fault despite knowing that the board was slow and incompetent but now wey everybody don chop breakfast you want to reverse like Oyenusi. Laye squared!

Anyone without agenda will know I'm on about our dealings in the current transfer market. It is you who is roping the board in for their past sins...

afrodoc2:
Who said this?

[b]

Today is not Monday but if you do too much i will do it like Monday for you.

So, the board should be blamed if we don't sign a midfielder and not EtH who has spent on summer going on a wild goose chase?

What exactly are you blaming the board for?

Is it for not paying Rabiot close to 200k weekly?

Is it for not signing FDJ? We already have an agreement in place but for reasons best known to FDJ everything is pending.

Is it for not paying mega bucks for Antony?

What exactly? Are they supposed to just go about signing any player?

afrodoc2:
It is now you know that the board too has fault. I can drop receipts of all the times I said the blame was not only on ETH but also on the board but each time you tackled me.

That time we didn’t hear “the board is slow”, “the board also is at fault”. What you said was that previous seasons was the board’s fault but this season was on ETH. Why are you now backsliding?

Let me ask you, should the board go ahead and sign players that the coach hasn't requested for?

Point to the players EtH requested for and the board overruled him bar Ziyech...I hope you will be objective when talking about the likes of Antony, FDJ, Rabiot etc. Whilst the board have been slow before, in this window you can't accuse them of being slow because it is still here we will see people tackling the board for paying astronomical fees if they go ahead and pay the money for the likes of Antony, Rabiot and co...

afrodoc2:
You are now walking back your words like I knew you would.

I kept saying that the board had a large share in the problems you guys kept saying no it was all on ETH’s head for this season.

Now I am reading from the same people that the board is slow and incompetent. You didn’t know it was slow and incompetent when you said all the transfer problems were on the manager?

Are you kidney me?

Quote where I said it was all EtH's fault...

Is it the board that is insisting on FDJ?

The other targets he requested for, he has gotten...The players who we didn't get are those who choose not to come (Timber) or those whose price tag is way off the mark (Antony)...

You want the board to go ahead and pay Rabiot close to £200k weekly so you will be back here to accuse them of being incompetent, right?

If EtH wasn't so insistent on certain players, wouldn't we have moved on to sign others before now? Or should we cave in to the demands of Ajax for Antony or Rabiot or should we go ahead and kidnap FDJ?

I know in no time, someone will say I am against EtH when in all honesty I'm only saying things based on what we know about our transfer dealings thus far...

Leyqute:
Before EtH came, the board was slow with transfers. After he came, the board is still slow wirh transfers.

Is it the new comer that made a department that is already slow, inefficient and incompetent, slow, inefficient and incompetent?

No one is having that argument with you, it is generally accepted that the board is inept however, EtH too has his own fault especially his insistence on FDJ.

A friend of mine was mad at EtH for retaining Maguire as captain, from that day, he was certain EtH is clueless but I argued otherwise...Time will tell though.

Ellexy:
You guys need to be objective about this

The United situation right now is not ideal. Other teams and players agents always tries to fleece United in transfers. It's why our wage structure is the way it is. The only player we signed on a reasonable fee was Malacia and the club had to wait for Lyon to agree a fee first before hijacking the deal. If we had had gone in first, them for tell us 35m and above.

Having said that, Ed Woodward and his goons needs to be prosecuted

Well said.

afrodoc2:
No o. They are not slow o!
Don’t accept what is wrong abeg.

Please swallow it. Dapada. They are not slow. It is the manager’s fault. You have convinced me.

Baba EtH has his fault as do the board. At the time, everything was dumped on the board even when it was obvious EtH too had his own faults.

The thing is that you think everyone who highlights EtH role in this seeming transfer debacle is holding brief for the board but it's not true...

Criticize the board all you want but should we cave into the demands of Rabiot's mom?

They sign players, you complain of high wages and when they try to negotiate so we get a good deal for a player who is not really at the top of his game, you still complain...

I accept those in charge are slow and generally inept but in the case of Rabiot, we should not go above board to get him...

afrodoc2:
I was thinking the same thing.

But I won’t watch until the game is over. Will watch a rerun. No time to waste time and 2-0 up sef no sure.

See wetin this our yeye club dey make us do...

afrodoc2:
The guy has told people not watch the Liverpool game.

I won't even dare to see that game unless we are two goals up...

eph12:
The thing is that there's no more IF. He's been back for 2+ weeks, nothing has been channeled into anything since then. You people made Ronaldo the problem affecting our transfer window, he wasn't

Baba I no get strength to argue...If that's what you understood, fine...

eph12:
You were so sure his decision complicated our transfer plan. I'm just asking if our transfer plan is less complicated now. No vex

If he stays, we won't sign a striker this window thus the resources will be channeled into fixing other areas of the team...It's not that hard na!

eph12:
What you meant was very clear. The club can't buy players because they weren't sure if Ronaldo was going or staying. Its been 3 weeks he's been back now.

I said his decision to leave complicates our transfer plan as we will be forced to get a replacement which was not part of the plans going into the new season. How it's the same with what you're saying is what I don't understand...

eph12:
Shey you said Ronaldo is the one messing up our transfer window.

If you didn't understand what I meant you should have asked for explanation rather than this...

So we never sign any midfielder yet?

Ibime:
This time last year, I stated Jogginghoe will not smell top 20 in the next Balon d'Or to show his last year nomination was a fluke simply based on Donnaruma winning penalty shootouts for Italy and Kante winning UCL for Chelsea. This was met by much condemnation by Jorgisexuals who thought their one-summer fluke was here to stay at the top echelons of football. Today, most Chelsea fans want to see him gone.

When you know a player is crap, don't let hype change your opinion of him. It's not about being stubborn. He was crap yesterday, is crap today and forever.

Hehehe Olesexuals...Joezinho see how Ibime taoe remix the name wey we give Gollum fanboys that year...

Sucre6:
Imagine a statement from a serving state governor, very hateful and recks of incitement. On saner clime, this man shouldn't be made chairman market men association, he lacks every quality that should qualify a reasonable human being.

Una go just dey shout saner climes anyhow...Is Trump in a Nigerian? Does he stay in Nigeria?

lekkie073:
no count people to share your L with. No everyone supported the coming of sancho. I stated it by inference that there is nothing sancho wants to offer that Greenwood could not.

Lol...

Nezzjnr:
Someone suggested Sean Dyche

I no fit forget this one

OMG! Abeg who be that?
