Please don't get me wrong o - I am not against Osihmen joining o.

Why would i be against the acquisition of one of the best players in the world if the club can afford him?

I think the point here is that he seems to be "out of reach" and the earlier we started exploring other "realistic" options of acceptable quality , the better.

Some insinuations on here that these shambolic performances and results would definitely repeat next season if Osihmen doesn't sign for the club, is kinda worrisome and would always set the manager up for drags

Anyways, as Amuludun don acknowledge his failures, prostrate tell us sorry, he is forgiven

He needs to really atone for his "sins" o and the scrutiny go tough next term.

Please point me to a few of such insinuations.

The funny thing is that the guy behind the video won't stop if he finds himself in such a scenario in Nigeria.

The other day, I boarded a bike, and along the way, he drove against traffic lights; I had to let him know it was wrong. We want the best, but we do not want to contribute our quota; we just feel everything starts and ends with elected public officials...

We need to build strong institutions and re-orientate the minds of most of us...

One of the top 3 strikers in the world for the last 2 seasons or so, isn't a mercenary?

Abeg no vex, which kind striker we suppose dey parade?

Does calling for the signing of Osimhen (specifically) mean that all the players we must sign have to be world-beaters?

I personally prefer Gyokeres but saying that those who have specifically mentioned Osimhen are asking the club to sign mercenaries is laughable...Osimhen should be playing for one of the big clubs, and it's not out of place for a fan to ask the club to throw their hat into the ring...Osimhen is a striker, one of the many positions we need reinforcement, I don't think I have seen anyone asking that we sign the Mbappes, Yamals, Musialas, Pedris and co of the world. We just want players who are technical on the ball and off it, are ready to work hard...

nitrogen:
Established is another word for Mercenaries. Two seasons ago, you guys said we needed to rebuild with a younger squad and stop signing viruses/mercs like Pogba, Lukaku Mhiki, etc. Now that the experiment has failed mostly on the back of getting an inexperienced manager, we should go back to Mercs so our so called saviour can succeed.

You are in a world of your own most definitely...How is asking for patience so that the manager working with the football management team gets the players with the right profile to execute his ideas, now a bad thing?

Every other match day, you have at least 3-4 Manchester United players trending, not for any good reason, on X; it's worst off here, but when we call for players who combine hard work with the technique to be signed, you somehow squeeze in the word mercenary...

eph12:
From preseason!

Season wey go good, na preseason and first two matches we go use know

Abeg na season I dey wait for...Remember when we dey beat Madrid and other top teams for preseason only to fumble when it matters most...

nitrogen:
When we were acquiring mercenaries, they said we needed to have a young and hungry squad, and be ready to give them time. We did just that over the last three years. Now we should go sign go back to signing Osimhen (a mercenary o) and other established players to avoid relegation next season. For the record, the while relegation threat is caused by their darling rookie and inflexible manager o.

No be juju be that?

This guy, you dey amaze me...How on earth is Osimhen a mercenary?

Who said we should sign established players? Asking that we get players that don't treat the ball like a bomb is not asking that we go sign world beaters...You guys just make things up in your head and run with it...

Ellexy, point me to where people called for the head of Bin Laden after his first season. You'd struggle to find any reasonable fan on that train...

It was only after Bin Laden had his time here to bring in his own players and ship the deadwood (he didn't actually) that some of us started to question if we were really improving especially as we covered less distance than our opponents and were dominated in most games...Do not paint a different narrative.

Now, Amorim came in when we were struggling, and since then, things have failed to pick up. However, he has yet to bring in players that suit his pattern play. Thus, we can't say he has been given the tools and has failed. When he first joined Sporting, he immediately started playing the 3-4-3 pattern, they didn't win the league but guess what, at the end of the season, he shipped out 17 players, and brought in players he thought were best fit for his style of play from the academy and via purchases at a fair value...Sporting didn't regret the decision to let him have his way...

This summer, I expect that Amorim will oversee the sale of a good number of the current players (Lindelöf is already off) and he will bring in his own players...Come the start of the new season, after 5 games, I'd understand if anyone starts complaining if things don't improve...Just wait a little; you will have your time and justifiably so, if things don't improve come the new season.

It was you and your band of OleSexuals, AKA Bin Laden's attorneys, that kept on talking about the other Portuguese manager at Wolves. Still, alas, your tactically flexible, season-turning-around Portuguese manager finished below the useless Amorim...You are definitely making this shit up...

Cry today, cry tomorrow, cry forever...

Now we can rest with the whole talk about Wolves finishing above us...Every minute, the other Portuguese manager at Wolves...😂 😂 😂

Jamiuokolaa:
When did cold, hard facts without emotions, become "negativity"?

You have made your point, why do you feel the need to keep at it? I mean, there's no one on these board that doesn't know your position on Amorim and the season we just had...We should be focused on what the club does in the summer rather than seeing post saying we finished 16th as if we all are not aware...

The season is over already, let's see how we fare in the transfer market and the first 5 games of the new season before we start this whole negativity here.

Jamiuokolaa:
The point is that managers are winning leagues with "deadwoods" while we need the best CF in the world to take us from 16th position

Do you want McTom and Lukaku back?

Jamiuokolaa:
You are the one that tried to downplay Conte's achievements at Napoli instead of just accepting and giving the man his flowers for winning the league with "Ghostominay" as the best player in the Serie A.

Meanwhile, your fave's Portugese brother that can be compared, joined lowly Wolves in December and has already outperformed him in the league.

The outshining was so bad that your fave has started chasing Cuhna to sign from the same Wolves



It still doesn't change the fact that "deadwoods" were combined by a tactically astute manager to achieve results. He didnt need the best striker in the world to win a scudetto.

Another manager needs the best striker in the world to get out of 16th position.

That's the point here



I am not against the signing of the best striker in the world o, if that's what the manager needs to take us out of 16th position

Hopefully we are able to sign him.

What exactly is your point?

Is it Amorim that sold Lukaku and McTom?

larride:
Na Liverpool win league, they are about to sign Wirtz Leverkusen best player and Bournemouth Herkez.

While we are trying to buy Delap from Ipswich.

No wahala now.

They have Frimpong in the bag already and are also rumoured to be interested in signing Alvarez...

🚨🚨🌕| BREAKING: Al Hilal offer total package of £300M to Manchester United and Bruno Fernandes. [@ChrisWheelerDM]

If na true, make we add Sancho and Rashford to the deal and drop them off...

I still believe under the right circumstances, Amorim will succeed at the club and these circumstances revolve around our recruitment process in the summer and his own willingness to incorporate new strategies to vary our gameplay play (This is a serious issue at the moment because he has stubbornly refused to tweak his formation during games unless in desperate times)...

If Amorim is sacked, I won't blame the board because as bad as our players are, they're serviceable and under the right system and coaching, we shouldn't be anywhere close to the bottom of the table. Truth be told, Amorim has not done himself any favours with our atrocious form in the league...

Whether Amorim stays or leaves, the open heart surgery that Rangnick suggested must be conducted, Shaw for one has to leave, Lindelöf, Maguire (He has improved but with him, you feel he is one mistake away from costing the team), Hojlund has to be loaned to a club where the pressure is less for him to continue his development (I am saying he should be loaned because we will struggle to get a good deal from his sale at this point), Casemiro should leave too, at his age, you never know when the steep decline will set in, Eriksen should leave...

Mainoo, Zirkzee, Garnacho, Ugarte, Dorgu, and Dalot should be options from the bench...

Finally, I can see the back of this torrid season...

Whatever the club does, we should go after players who are confident in tight spaces and do not treat a football like a bomb. We need to sign at least 3 technicians who can also put in the work.

Our play is just too lethargic, it's a shame that several managers after, our players still don't approach a game with the intensity modern football demands. Check all the successful teams of recent years; they play with a good level of intensity, and they cover a lot of ground.

So what next for the club and the transfer window?

My biggest fear.

Oasis007:


......shey your dream dey come to pass?!

Always...

nitrogen:
No matter what, just take this as an EPL game

Story...Oga Spurs go collect...

Oasis007:


......we are winning by 3 goals to nil.

Spurs will score. I saw it in my dream but we will score 2-3 goals to win it...

nitrogen:
You guys better calm down. It’s 50-50 at this point.

Spurs are without Kulusevski and Maddison, two of their best attackers this season, so we stand a very good chance.

Dougad:
I can easily think of three players this season with better claim to that award than Yamal. Werin una dey smoke sef?

Please mention...

Melvyn11:
It can be argued that he is not even the best player in his own team.

Who please?

Raphinha?
Lewandowski?
Pedri?

Fantastic players in their own right, but like Messi was clear of Iniesta, Xavi and the rest, Yamal is clear...

AirBere:
Yamal is generational and I agree with everything just that they won't give him without UCL. So Dembele, Ralph and Lauturo. Salah threw it away at R16.

Dembele has had a great season but Yamal tops it...There's no player out there that brings the X-factor into the game like Yamal...That boy is special.

Melvyn11:
There's nothing Yamal is doing in his teenage years that Mbappe didn't do. Infact he hasn't reached Mbappe level as a teenager so this statement is quite forced. Even in this current game Mbappe has been ten times better.


Even when Barca had Messi, Xavi, Iniesta, Neymar etc we won 4 champions league so dont worry about Madrid, we will always dominate. Yamal is nothing special. We are just having bad season after winning the champions league and league last season.

I am not comparing Yamal at 17 to Mbappe at 17, I am saying Yamal is clearly the best player in the world at least for this year.

If any other player is given the Balon d'or apart from Yamal then the award is useless...That boy is the punishment the football gods sent to give Mbappe headache just like Ronaldo had Messi in his time but he was too determined and ended winning 5 balon d'ors...

Mbappe and Real Madrid should step up else Barcelona will go on to dominate in the next couple of years.

Larride, your confidence dey make me happy...

CapitalCee, what do you think?

Beorn:
Very stupị̀d player. That fool needs to be sold for free.

How do you sell a player for free? Manchester United fit make person mad...😂

afrodoc2:
Evil ke? This na good news na.

I think Mantato will play at least one of the next 2 games, either against Bilbao or the EPL game this weekend.

You know English is not a must...

afrodoc2:
