Nah British media say make he go carry babes?

Sometimes u just have to behave urself even if the spotlight is on you.

There was a video of him i saw on twitter where he was talking dirty to a girl to come suck his deek. Then he dipped his finger in the girl's nose and licked it.

I was sat there like...

OMG!

I haven't seen the video...Greenwood had better watch it...

So disappointed in Greenwood and England as a whole, I wasn't comfortable seeing him called up. The hype will most definitely get the better of him if he isn't protected from the media, British media...

Thses Chelsea fans are really crazy, see new monikers springing up...

Hey Guys I'm +1 today

Happy birthday and best wishes boss...

Ayade is the real man!!!!,Udom of Akwadwarfs is just an audio project initiator from the growth stagnatic Ibibio lands.

Please just stop it already...Are you in Calabar? You guys just believe everything and anything you read...

ChristineC:
yes but there is career ambition and that's why they are not sat on it. if you make a loan move and all turns out good, then options open up for all involved parties. that's my point.

It depends if the other club is willing to take you on and pay your wages or if your parent club accepts to pay part of the wages.

ChristineC:
the main reason is that those guys are not ambitious and it's a personality problem.

Philippe Coutinho is on 250k per week and could have chosen to lie down on the bed or play golf and take the money when things were not working out for his ass in Catalonia. Gareth Bale is doing it, Mesut Ozil is doing it, Alexis Sanchez could have chosen to do it.

Chris Smalling and Marcos Rojo were able to find clubs and they were not earning peanuts.
a guy like Sergio Romero will be able to find a club if he so wishes or choose to sit down and flex.

these guys that are not performing are not eager to move and it's not because of the contracts they are on.
if Phil Jones wants to move on this summer, his agent will find him a club. people need to do something and take responsibility for their actions, this is where I give kudos to Gareth Bale. he's sat there as some form of retribution and he owns up to it.

You do realize that in most cases when they go out on loan, the parent club is saddled with the responsibility of paying at least half of their wages? That was the same case for Coutinho at Bayern...

Make una calm down na.

30k is not outrageous. He is an EPL player. The average EPL salary is 60k plus weekly.

Doc, it's Lee Grant o! Not Romero...Instead of paying Grant 30k, wetin our U23 goalie dey do wey we no just keep am for bench for Caraboa Cup games?

Expert17:
Yes.

DDG 375K
Henderson 120K
Romero 70K
Grant 30K

595K per week for GKs.

Grant earns 30k weekly? OMG!

if industries grow, more industries will spring up.
if more industries spring up, there will be job.
if there is job, there will be money.
if there is money, we can pay for power

Simple multiplier effect...

Expert17:
We saved up to 60M (weekly wages) from Alexis Sanchez move to Inter Milan.

You can imagine...

afrodoc2:
The problems start when we want to offload players and no other club is able to afford their wages. The major reason we have been struggling to offload under-performing players is their ridiculous wages.

Gbam!!!

ChristineC:
if the wages were not attainable, they'd not be offered. I personally don't see why fans are bothered by what the club offers the players.
Manchester United earns the money and do the salary payments. these clubs you mentioned don't generate such income, ignore the business shenanigans and proxies, and some barely do because of the inequalities in revenue sharing in their countries.
was it not too long ago Liverpool wanted to furlough staff? wasn't Arsenal saying they'd be displacing 50 ground staff?
the business is big enough to take care of itself and still service debts laden on it by some nincompoop business family. I see no problems at all.

No problems including paying players like Jones, Lingard, Pereira and many others hefty weekly wages such that no other club can afford them?

The big question is; for how long?

Take away the weekly wages of Jones, Lingard, Pereira, Mata and the likes and you'd easily be in a position to sign a world beater...

I'm sure they existed fans of other clubs who are today bankrupt who thought it wasn't their business even when in all honesty, the fans contribute a lot to the success of a club financially and otherwise...

Expert17:
Spending over half a million on just GKs every week.

At most clubs, you have to earn a new deal off the back of a spectacular season or two but here, the board rewards players with new deals coupled with increased wages when they haven't earned it...

It's this ridiculous wages that makes it almost impossible for us to offload players deemed surplus to requirement by the coach because nobody is going to accept to pay them such wages.

ChristineC:
he had no point really.
will you expect an accountant in Okomu Oil to be in same salary bracket as an accountant in ExxonMobil? they are both accountants and working in the oil and gas sector.

there are levels to everything.

Henderson just singed a new deal where he is paid over 100k weekly...Isn't this bogus weekly wage compared to Allison, Brazil's first choice goalie?

Will Madrid pay Martial and Rashford 250k and 200k respectively?

It looks even worse when you look at how much Lingard and Jones are earning...

Henderson hasn't even played a game for us at the top level yet he is offered a bumper pay rise.

I'm sure if we compare what Mane and Salah earns, they'd not be much difference compared to our forwards. In no time, Greenwood will join the 100k or more club just because it's Manchester United...

I sincerely doubt City, Liverpool and Chelsea pay their players as much as we do...For our wage structure, you'd be forgiven for thinking we have the best team in the league...

Weedtaker, I think that guy was only trying to highlight the fact that we pay ridiculous wages and trust me, even though his Romero example didn't suite the narrative since Romero was signed on the free, you just have to look at the wages of Martial, Rashford, Henderson and most of our players to see that he was/is right on point...

I will kick her out. Na you runs girl fit bully. LOL

I am possibly the biggest Sancho fan here but that does not mean we should just pay WHATEVER Dortmund want.

If Man Utd had endless funds like PSG and Man City maybe, but from what Woodward said and from our transfer window so far funds are limited SO the money should be spent wisely.

Paying too much for Sancho means possibly not strengthening elsewhere. With the way other clubs have gone about their transfer window this off season Sancho and VDB alone won't be enough.

Where is the lie? I see only truth...

afrodoc2:
We should avoid making Sancho a 100m pound player. 90m max.

We already messed up by paying 80m for Maguire and 50m for AWB.

I am happy this is coming from you who have pushed that we sign him up...

It's funny seeing other fans here asking that we pay up whatever it takes...

elrony:
No RW in ya spending spree, we don't even have enough cover for that.

Besides Upamecano shouldn't be over 50m quids

Last season, our forward line which didn't even start the season together posed similar stat to that of Liverpool meaning that if our defense hold their own and our midfield chip in with a few goals, we'd be right up there...

With a CB and LB (our most vulnerable position last season) in addition to VDB and possibly Tiago, we'd have plugged the gaping issues in defense and lack of quality bench to replace Pogba and Bruno...

I agree we need another attacker preferably a RWF but if it means signing one will see us close shop for the window, I suggest we bolster other areas of the team with the same amount or even less...

larride:
Does Southgate even strike you like a manager that knows what he’s doing?

I see names that someone dropped as possible alternative and I laugh. Neres of Ajax, Leon Bailey of Leverkusen (from the same league that Sancho is tearing apart) over Sancho?

Quote me so we can debate...Sancho is not the beginning and ending of the world...

Mhkitaryan, Kagawa and Sahin have looked the part in the Bundesliga but when they moved, they were exposed. I don't even want to start with the fact that Sancho seems better on the left lest some of you miscontrue my point to mean I hate him...

The likes of Neres I mentioned will easily share game time with Greenwood thus will not stall his development however, with Sancho and for the amount quoted, he'd command an automatic starting spot and if Rashford and Martial keep producing, Greenwood will find game time hard to come by...I think the board is looking at Greenwood and asking themselves why they need to overpay for Sancho...

Let me categorically state it here that rather than sign Sancho for 120m, I'd rather we sign Upamecano, Reguillon and Tiago all for a combined fee of 120m...

Tiago - 27m
Reguillon - 27m
Upamecano - 60-65m

elrony:
Agreed o, but we sabi how transfer dey go.

How much we buy slab head again?

How much did Chelsea pay for Ziyech? Werner? Havertz is yet unknown but if the reported 100m is true, then they overpaid...

Sancho is good but for that price, he will be put under immense pressure to deliver immediately and that alone can weigh him down. I need not remind you how Pogba's world record fee saw him under the watchful eye of the media every day...

As much as I'd like us to get Sancho, I wouldn't want us to over for him especially as he has only manged to light the Bundesliga up.

Expert17:
That price is a no no for me too.

God go punish anybody wey dey reason give Sancho 350K a week.

There's Neres in Ajax, Bailey in Leverkusen and I'm sure many other young RWF out there...If Dortmund won't deal and at a fair price, let's bounce.

See Palace regretting why they didn't sell Zaha.

Napoli president is regretting why he didn't sell Koulibaly earlier...

Lyon tried it and failed with Fekir who was finally sold on the cheap...

Let us not spend the whole summer chasing a player who might not even outperform Greenwood in the league...

Ayade used brutal force today, I passed by Ogoja council and the place bore the semblance of a war zone...

If the charade Ayade pulled today stands, then the APC needs to put their house in order and back Zana as they'll be a lot of protest votes come October, 31st...

Oasis007:
Real Madrid's Sergio Reguilón has been offered to Manchester United.

- Fabrizio Romano

Abeg let's sign him as long as there's no buy back or sell on clause in the deal...Shaw can't be trusted to keep fit, maybe with real competition from Reguillon he'll stay fit just like he stayed fit when Williams was threatening to take his place in the team.

Sometimes, you just can't help but think if some of these English boys just fake injuries so they'll sit in the treatment table receiving fat cheques week in, week out...

E be like say we go start to ask questions about that list again o!

Last time there was a protest here, VDB was signed...Expert17, Larride, nani667, make we start the protest already...

garfield1:
Yes he bought the form yesterday.if he emerges,it will be easier for zanna

Jarigbe is no pushover, he is as popular as Zana...

The APC primaries was anything but free and fair, I witnessed the rubbish that happened yesterday...Make no mistake, I prefer Zana to Joe Agi but our politics is still some way off what it should be...

Tomorrow is the big one, Jarigbe vs Ayade (Stephen Odey)...

afrodoc2:
Good. It might be better for him to develop quietly without the hype. The only thing is players like him are often not value in the British game. The prefer dribbling and running midfielders.
Like i often say he reminds of Paul Scholes while Garner plays more like Carrick. They can both make it here if nurtured correctly, however the big elephant in the room is Mejbri.

Well, with Matic leaving in a few years alongside Mata and Lingard, I think we will have enough space in the team for them however, I'd like to see them out on loan this season.

eph12:
So I'm just going to wait and watch VDB play for 10 games or so before I jump on the hype. I hope he settles in quick and dominates matches for us

Hype? For what he offers on the pitch, baba is even underrated...

Expert17:
You don't know much abt GK I guess and you haven't watch Romero that much.




Can you win spoon with this version of Degea?

We would have won or atleast progress to the final of both FA cup and UEL with Romero.

Romero is good for cup games when the spotlight isn't beaming on him every other weekend. We saw how Romero fared after that DeGea to Madrid saga...Remember our game against Swansea?

#OleOUT

This man and him agenda...

nitrogen:
Don't trust Pep Guardiola o.

With Messi in the team, Pep no go dey try all those him nonsense tweaks...Sometimes na over sabi dey kill Pep and that's one thing I like about Arteta, baba go back bus when necessary and I don't blame him, Arsenal's defense (With Saliba and Gabriel and the fitness of Tierney and Bellerin, they just might have solved an age long problem) and midfield is average.

If Fred leaves, we should get a specialist DM. With Tiago, you are getting a Modric/Xavi kind of player which leaves you looking for a DM to play alongside him.

On the Messi to City rumors, I hope it doesn't work out because it will lift City to New heights, one that the rest of the league won't attain for some time...
