Expert knows it's just a Rumor, yet he's trying so hard to score cheap point with it. The deal won't pass 250k pw.

300k won't be bad sef...

But even if I was him, money will be one of the deciding factors at this stage of my career...

Oasis007:


Dude even lied he gets his tale from Here we go.

It's a rumor that circulated yesterday on the bird app...

Most folks are reporting 250k today...We'll get to know more in the days to come...

larride:
Sir Ole Pull Power.

Time to win the league and the champions league.


Thank God there won’t be any excuse of “The board didn’t back him” this season.

I hope for the best.

Left for that bottler, na only players like James he fit sign...

This season no go easy...See men from both camps fully on ground waiting for the start of the season...

I remain a member of the Ole out brigade and I'll stand by my members to drag Ole if he continues his choke job...

When the drive is Musa from isale eko

Hehehe You no well...

afrodoc2:
Who i be wey i go dey send a board member on errands? Na beg we dey beg dem to sign a solid CDM for us.

I hope our next move doesn't depend on Pogba staying or going because irrespective of whatever happens, we need a DM

fabregas04:
Di Maria flopped bid time at Utd but i guess it was due to the coach instruction as he was always seen trying to play crosses into d box, even when he could have gone for goal himself.

Rather, Van Gaal was just too stubborn...He was playing very well when he joined until Mr. Philosophy decided to start imposing his archaic ideas on the players...

Payporte:
Ronaldinho
Lampard
Gerrard . Do your research

Leave him alone, let him keep arguing with himself.

nitrogen, please ask the board to get us a DM...I will return with my usual appreciation...

Afrodoc2, you sent nitrogen on so many errands to the board as per board member wey you give am, now you don't want to appreciate him abi? It's not fair o!

devvy44:
Dinho, Lampard, Eto’o

Gerard never got to the balon d’or podium

Coming from someone who said I started watching football in 2015...

Go get your facts right before you come here to debate...

Debroslink:
So because they entered top 3, they are gods? This is the scam we are talking about. Hype hype hype.

Didn't Owen win Balon d or? That should tell you something.

You are just turning tables...You said Gerard, Scholes and Lampard are overrated, I said they aren't and should be respected for what they achieved but somehow, you have changed what I said to mean that they're gods...

Debroslink:
Yet Schweinsteiger and Zidane were placed below Lampard and Gerrard. E tire me o.

By who?

devvy44:
Which year did this miracle happen?

2005...

Debroslink:
How can we forget that day?

Same as giving a back pass to Henry in dying minutes at Euro 2004 to give England a big loss in the match.

Most top players have had their down moments too...You don't want us to start listing them...Schweinsteiger,Messi, Zidane etc...

devvy44:
Liverpool got to 2 Ucl finals between 2005 & 2007, Made the semis 2009 yet you say they don’t have world class players?

Where was Madrid when Liverpool did this?

Liverpool had the title right in front of them before the same Gerard slipped and allowed demba ba score and Liverpool eventually went on to lose the title

How many world class players did Chelsea have in that team when they won the UCL this past season?

Gerard would've won more had he left Liverpool, you guys should stop using team trophies to rate players, watch them play and make what you will of them...

Debroslink:
Yet, you are the one acknowledging Gerrard as a god of midfield. A player who never won any league title and didn't make his nation proud.

He finished 3rd on the Balon d'or podium and Lampard finished 2nd...Is that not an individual award?

I only said you were wrong to class them below their peers, don't misquote or misrepresent my opinion...

Di Maria didn't flop...

Debroslink:
Messi not winning a trophy for his NT was a stigma in his career and we all knew this. If he had retired without winning a trophy, many people would place him below Ororo.

Lampard and Gerrard won just one UCL each. Gerrard has zero league title. Both didn't achieve anything for their country. How can you place them with Kaka, Pirlo Xavi, Iniesta and Kross?

What exactly did Gerrard do that Totti didn't do better? Or is it Schweinstiger or even Xabi Alonso?

You're the one trying to slander Gerard so, asking me what he did that others didn't do is akin to you turning the table around...My argument has always been that Gerard, Lampard and Scholes are deserving of any accolades they get just as the others you listed...

Talking about national team trophies, even with the Copa America win, aren't they folks who still undermine the achievements of Messi? It is what it is...

devvy44:
Mascherano, alonso, J.carragher, F.Torres, Suarez, Kuyt......man Gerard played with world class players in that Liverpool, you probably started watching football after barce won the 2015 Ucl

Carragher world class? He wasn't...

Mascherano, Alonso, Torres were world class as was Suarez who joined after Torres had left...

You can't compare the players Gerard played with with those of Real Madrid, Barcelona or even Manchester United...

devvy44:
Because the likes of dudek and alonso were boiling beans on the field right?

Learn how to chat respectfully...

Debroslink:
Just one night shey? Dude scored just one goal in the match. That's one UCL. Zero league, zero trophy for NT.

Now compare to Real gods like Iniesta, Xavi, Kross, Pirlo. Multiple UCL winners and WC

We are not comparing teams but players...I am dead sure before the COPA win, you already believed Messi was the greatest even though Pele and Maradona have the their respective world cup medals in their cabinet...I do not rate players based on trophies but based on their individual abilities and that's why I don't agree when you attempt to talk down on Scholes, Gerard and Lampard just cos they don't play football in a certain way...

Amoto94:
I don't want a system player knowing that the club can decide to fire at any time and sign a new coach who may not know what to do with such player. He excelled in Sevilla because La Liga is not that physical and the pace is slower than EPL.

Kounde is not slow...Watch Sevilla games and you'd see him advance with the ball at pace, he is not slow...

devvy44:
Same Gerard made a costly error against Chelsea that made Liverpool lose the league title to Man City in his final season at Liverpool

Gerard cemented his legend status in that night in Istanbul...

Debroslink:
You can't compare Totti with Gerrard. Never. Totti spent his entire career at club level with average players and old Batistuta and still dragged Roma to the league title. By the time he played with great players, he won the WC and reached Euro Final.

Gerrard has always been surrounded by world class players both at club and NT. He was a flop in Euro 2004 when his error helped France beat England. At club level, he didn't win any league throughout his career.

How can you call that a midfield god when we have the likes of Zidane, Kaka and Kross

Who are the world class players that surrounded Gerard in Liverpool and England compared to those you're comparing him to?

Let me watch you mention Lampard, Scholes and the likes you like trashing often...

Debroslink:
So why didn't Gerrard join when they came calling especially Chelsea? For the fact that he under achieved at Liverpool means he can't be placed alongside gods like Xavi, Iniesta and Pirlo.

I'll leave Scholes alone because his style of play suits a winning team. Unfortunately, England didn't know how to use him.

As for Lampard, I can't be moved by his goal-scoring abilities. He couldn't dictate and control midfield in key matches for England. How can a loser in his NT be a football god?

Cruyff is rated highly, what exactly did he win with the Netherlands?

It's not every player that must be pleasing on the eyes, some footballers are very direct doesn't mean they're not good enough...

Totti is revered in the world of football, you won't say because he didn't win the UCL he was not a top performer...Pray tell, if Totti wasn't so loyal and joined Madrid when they. wanted him, wouldn't he have won the UCL? It's the same scenario with Gerard...

Debroslink:
When you drag a less fancied Croatia to WC final by winning the golden ball, you should be placed above Scholes who couldn't nail down 1st team shirt in the porous midfield of Gerrard and Lampard.

As for Gerrard, no league title in his career. You wanna compare that with a title winning midfield god at Bayern, Madrid and his NT?

Abeg abeg abeg

Are you saying that if Gerard had joined Madrid, Chelsea or Manchester United, he wouldn't have won titles?

Scholes is also not overrated...

Lampard was excellent at what he did, you might not fancy his style of play but that doesn't mean he was not right up there...

Some fans might just be low key praying we don't sign a DM just so they have something to hang onto when Ole is in the spotlight...

I sincerely hope the board follow up the signing of Sancho and imminent arrival of Varane with further deals for Trippier and a DM, that way nobody will berate the board for not providing Ole with the tools he needs...

handelex:
What if we don’t get that top class DM?

I refuse to entertain that thought...We will sign a top DM...

handelex:
Very funny
I’ll be here when you guys will attack him and I’ll remind you to focus on the message.

That DM is needed as a matter of life and death, we can’t be driving a Ferrari with the engine of a Toyota[McFred].

If we get a top class DM and maybe a back up RB, he'll have little or no excuses...

melodyogonna:
Are you among those that said "he will be sacked before December"? If not I wasn't referring to you.

Unless we are having a really disastrous season, I don't think he'll be sacked but I think he needs to win a trophy or go on a strong run in the UCL whilst challenging for the EPL to keep his job beyond this season...

melodyogonna:
Una don start with fake prophecies again Una no dey tire to collect Ls from Ole's hands?

Ls? The only L Ole can give us is to win a trophy...That's an L we'd gladly accept and not signing a new deal which points to the flaws of those who made the decision...

elrony:
That's Weedtaker & Nitrogen's handiwork, they're on vacation in Paris

handelex:
The message of a confused messenger
Really?

We are a DM short of having a very balanced team...No more excuses...
