God will bless you..even the him being on the decline can be changed... because next season u might get another 50-60goals and 15-19assists again... so how do we now even say he's declining... people expect him to play like when he was younger, what they don't realize is the fact that his body build doesn't suit such fast running dribbling at his age hence he Changed his game pattern for him to do fancy things less and still be effective. Men nawa for people oo
Since Ronaldo arrived at Madrid his game has been more about scoring, if Bale for instance is allowed to take as much shots at goal, his stats will amaze you

I don't get...so without goals..Cr7 is just a good player...
How many players at his age do what he does?..
Or are u trying to criticize without thinking? Have u checked his assist count sef that you are criticizing?
Over ninety minutes, can you compare the performance (level of influence on proceedings) of Ronaldo with that of Messi/Neymar/Bale/Suarez/KDB etc Even our own Martial does more through the course of 90min compared to CR7...
Neymar/Bale/Robben may not have as much assist but they are always involved in one way or another in dangerous moves or in most cases goals. CR7 in Man Utd was more complete than the goal king we have in Madrid...

I think the performance of Wales in the Euros has laid to rest the pathetic excuse put forward by CR7 fans that Portugal are 10 average players + Ronaldo...Ronaldo doesn't do enough to influence games if he is not scoring, he sacrificed all his play making abilities for goals and when the goals don't come, he looks like your everyday footballer (Good but not great on the eye)
I miss the Ronaldo we had at Man Utd, creativity, fanciful flicks, goals and lot more...

I actually think the competition has been quite interesting! Tactically most of the coaches have been on point, hardly any wozing score lines like 6-0 etc because most teams seem prepared! Officiating has been good with the exception of "skrtels blatant red card and that jeet kun do kick that belgium's players gave to that irish guy yesterday!" The unending late goal drama also has a touch of classic united about it so that brings memories back! Crowd control seems a bit naff so the french cops need to step their game up! They are used to policing gay parades so I'm not suprised!






The chaps who look like getting to the semis at least are: italy, germany, france and croatia!
Spainhuh

Darmian did not play with conviction. I thought they said he was one of their best players in the last world cup. Now he plays like he was called from school team to make up the number for the Italian side.

Now that I've been off the ban by Mukina, I can say that I've not been impressed with the names we're getting linked with, especially in the area of the midfield.
Gomes? Matic? Even Pogba?
None of them are capable of controlling the tempo of games or even creative enough.
Gomes is Herrera make 11 in the sense that he's inconsistent with his erratic techniques and passing skills nor visionary. Pogba has all the flairs in this world but more of an offensive box-box midfielder who takes the midfield to another level with his flairs and energy but would need someone building up and dictating the play alongside him and I hope we aint banking on Rooney to operate as a playmaker.
Since Rooney would be a mainstay in the team, I think the box-box role should be given to him. As a matter fact, Rooney can offer what Pogba brings in that role although it wouldn't be of the same quality level. All he needs to do as an offensive box-box CM is to join the attack, make runs to create space and contribute his defensive quota which he can do quite well.
I really would have loved Pjanic for that creative playmaking role but it seems impossible now that Juve have him in bags.
It would also be stupid of Mourinho if he let go Blind because he's a player capable of playing different role without any drop in the quality. I don't even support the signing of an out of form player in Matic who had only 6 good month in the Epl before he got found out.
Personally, I think we should opt for a player with well rounded technique, passing range, reading of the game and tactical discipline for the holding role and the only player I could think of is Weigl who's unavailable. More reason why Blind shouldn't be let go just because we've found a new shining toy in Matic.
I would also love if we could take a punt on Oliver Torres as a loan with the option to buy. The guy has a high potential and already operates at a high level if only his Coach, Simeone would use him right and deploy him in the middle and not on the wing.
His performance while on loan at Porto against Bayern in the CL was something else. He dominated Bayern midfield like a pro. And I could recall him being the best player on the pitch against France at the U20 where he dominated and outclassed Pogba in the central midfield.
Even today, Porto fans still rave about him. I think he needs a coach who can trust him in the middle and allow him to do his magic as opposed to the defensive Simeone who would rather deploy him on the wing. He could well be our Coman who was not allowed to thrive at Juve but became a revelation at Bayern.
As For Baily, I know nothing about him but any signing over the overhyped Stones is welcome by me.
Nice post bro, I appreciate it when you talk football like this, how about William Carvalho or Bazoer of Ajax, I wouldn't mind any of them in our team.

I don't need to watch Bailly for 90min to know he is an upgrade on Blind and definitely not injury prone like Jones...

Someone they sat n shared 2.1bn dollars... Did u see them.. or is what a deafening president said on CNN u believehuh Smh
You're trying to be clever by a half, the Governors only sued for the sharing of the funds when they noticed continuous depletion of the ECA...
Moreover, what stopped the FG from saving her own share of the funds? Remember, prior to leaving office, NOI informed Nigerians that the FG had to borrow to pay salaries...

I know he's coming off his best season ever but I really doubt he would replicate such level of performance in the PL. There's a significant difference in quality between the PL and the ligue Un and the team he played for again, was a cut far above the rest so his job was considerably easier. He has had a poor record against English opposition in the CL and that's also worrying. He doesn't appear to have declined that much even at 34 but I feel when the decline sets in, it would be rapid and overwhelming. I think we have enough old and slow players already;Bastian, Carrick, Rooney etc and I don't want another. There are other issues as well I would discuss as we move on...
I'm certain it's a big risk in general but there are some positives and maybe that's why it's one too good not to take.
Poor record against English teams doesn't really hold waters to be honest...The only point worth noting is the difference in quality between the both leagues but even at that, the french league isn't as bad as it is made to look, it's quite similar to the EPL in terms of physique of players, and pace of the play...If his output drops to a half considering the quality of the EPL, he'd still come across as a bargain (we're getting him for free)...
The biggest factor is his ego which I believe will propel him to do great with us, in this regard he is quite similar to Ronaldo who is defying age with his performance week in, week out...

You don't reason properly. Your sentiment is that "this type of project would have sited in the south south or Niger Delta if not for the activities of militants"

But I am saying that

Cross Rivers State is there
Akwa Ibom is there
Edo State is there
Even ondo state is there

These states are not restive or disturbed by militant activities. In fact, there is a 1 billion dollar power project in Edo state. If any investor wants to invest in the south south or Niger Delta, whats wrong these states?

If he's concerned about the security of his investment, [s]why didn't he go to Osun and build the refinery there?[/s]
What's your beef with Lagos state?

Heard we are competing against other top teams like Barca for his signature. Hoping he's worth the chase.
From the reports I'm reading, we're a step ahead of other suitors...Barca are focused on Umtiti, PSG are stocked in that department as is Madrid, Chelsea aren't interested so I think he is ours to lose...

Dangote has a Pineapple Orchard in Cross Rivers state for his Dansa Fruit Juice Factory. He is also currently building a Cement Plant at Okpealla in Edo state. Dangote has no problem in investing in the South South. The Ijaw's who are largely domiciled in the Rivers-Delta-Bayelsa axis are the problem of the South South. The heeebos in the South East are a basket case on their own
Apart from the cement plant which even though expensive still doesn't match the cost of his refinery, I still don't get your point...

Once again, I don't care about where the project is sited. I am only faulting your logic that the refinery would've been situated in the Niger Delta if not for the activities of militants. Your sentiments don't make sense.

Even if Niger Delta was secure, the refinery wouldn't be sited there. This has nothing to do with militancy. Lagos is not more "peaceful" than Cross River state, why wasn't it sited in Cross River or Edo? These are areas with no activities and history of militancy.
Lagos is not more peaceful you say but let me say this as a Cross Riverian, the chances of things escalating here is far greater than it is in Lagos...Don't forget we're still battling with our own version of Almajiris here AKA Skolombo boys who are terrorizing the neighborhood...
So my guy, it has everything to do with the threat of militancy...
Trust you to argue further but let me ask, what are the chances of militants attacking a facility in Lagos compared to Cross River? Your guess is as good as mine...

For all my fellow Niger Deltans, I hope y'all can now see what we're losing owing to our continuous romance with militants (I am certain the militant won't thrive without support from host communities)...I am almost certain that if the region of Niger Delta was peaceful and conducive for business transaction, a project such as this would have been situated in Cross River or Akwa Ibom which would have made the government serious about the seaport construction that the region really needs...
We're losing but the illiterates in our midst won't get my drift, our loss is Lagos gain...Even if I want to invest today, I know it won't be anywhere close to the ND, it's little wonder Asari Dokubo had to run to faraway Benin Republic to build a university (I'd have prefer he built it in Nigeria TBH)
