I don't have time to entertain everyone here, definitely not the kids here. We have seen Rashford decline so badly, the same goes for Dalot and Garnacho. While Dalot is even ready to put in effort, Rashford doesn't bother trying, and Garnacho thinks he is just too good, so he openly questions the manager.

Antony and Hojlund have struggled to live up to the hype, so it is only natural that we replace them. We are fans and want to see the football club at the top that is why we support those who are contributing towards the goal and ask that those who are not doing well be replaced. I don't think Casemiro and Maguire are still the first names on the list of players most fans want to leave the club because they proved their mettle last season. If the other players, for all their potential, fail to deliver here, then they can as well leave. It is a no-brainer...

It's normal PR, Bruno will say the club still want him that's why he stayed. Same way the club won't come out to say Bruno should leave because they need the money.

Jamiuokolaa:
I wouldnt allow him to leave o...if he is crucial to my plans

That's why i said i am pretty much optimistic of what Bruno would bring forth to the table - the manager has so much trust in his captain and believes he is the right man to lead us to the promise land

200m 100m na water!

You don't expect the manager to say he doesn't believe in his captain or want him to stay...Bruno rejected the move, don't rope the manager into the decision of Bruno.

Jamiuokolaa:
Your answer is in the bolded part of your post below



With the Dire situation of finances, we had the opportunity to make 100m quid to reinvest in the squad but the manager has decided otherwise.

Forfeiting 100m is a lot in this current realities so it's perfectly normal to share the same big hopes the manager has for Bruno in the current setup.

I am pretty excited about what our captain would bring forth next season - this is a 100m worth of talent we are talking about!

Not Bruno rejecting the offer, right?

If you were the manager, you'd have said you don't want Bruno in the team, so the club should force him to go where he doesn't want to go, right? Nice one...

odizeey:
I wonder why Arsenal, Liverpool, City and the likes are buying players? Can't the players they currently have start at other top teams?

I have said before that fans here are impossible. They hate the manager so much that they hope we have a disastrous transfer window so the manager can be sacked.

We finished 15th or thereabout but it is the teams in the top half of the table who are strengthening, even those around us are not relenting yet so the so-called fans of the team see nothing wrong in the apparent lack of transfer activity in the club bar the signing of Cunha...

Mrviktor:
Keep gassing mids.

I speak with facts..

Mind you garnacho has never been injured for more than 2 games with us.

Maguire will bench schar and burn

Onana will bench dubrafka and pope

Rashford will bench Murphy and Barnes easily

So all this talk of the team not being good is just rubbish

Onana will bench Nick Pope? You are not being true to yourself.

Rashford does not play from the right so his direct competitor is Gordon who plays on the left or Isak as the striker...He can not bench any.

Garnacho also plays as a LWF, in what world will he bench Anthony Gordon?

Maguire bench who? Botman? Schar? Burns? You are not serious.

You have no idea what you are talking about, I'd advise you to stick to bantering Dorgu...

Fans are the number one culprit with the unnecessary pressure they put on players. Gone are the days of no social media when players don’t see anything else except what’s in the papers and on match days. These days, both players and fans are on social media. The level of toxicity thrown at our players is just insane, very few players will perform well after seeing the toxic comments.

Unfortunately, the media has realized this and is very happy to help débase our players just to feed and massage the egos of Utd fans. Funny thing is, there are several fans that are now in the media via vlogs and YouTubing. Those ones are interestingly followed religiously by a section for the fans.

Not saying owners and board have not contributed, but man, majority of our fans are just ridiculous.

The pressure to win is there in every club. I dare say it's even worse in Madrid where they don't hesitate to boo the stars when they are on a poor run of form and to be honest, all top clubs have millions of fans who are rational and others who are irrational, so don't make it seem like a United thing.

Mrviktor:
Il never blame a manager with a plan B.

Plan B with the same set of players we all agree are useless...

Leyqute:
Dude.

You quoted the wrong guy.

I am usually one of the last guys on this board to turn on a manager having a difficult time at United.

In most of the arguments I’ve had with you in the past, I’m often asking the board to recruit better before firing a coach when the team is underperforming.

This board should recruit better. Only then will I turn on the manager— if things remain the same.

It's Mrviktor I wanted to quote.

Leyqute:
You don’t commit resources to a manager, you commit resources to your club.

Aguero, kDB, David Silva were already at City before Pep came along.

Chelsea bought Cole Palmer before they signed their current manager.

The Slot that won the league last season with Liverpool did so with a squad built by the previous manager.

It’s not just about getting a manager his players. That’s the mistake we’ve been making. It’s about getting really good players into the team.

Recruit genuinely good players and give them a good working environment and they’ll thrive irrespective of who the coach is.

What we have now is a mix of good and terrible players in a toxic work environment. You can never win with that combination.

I hope when the season starts you will remember the incompetence of the board and not heap all the blame on the manager?

I don't want to believe that one of them doesn't have a hotel in Abuja.

This government are confused. You remove subside . You want to bring down petrol pump price, how?

It is quite easy to stop crude oil theft. The quantity of fuel lost to theft can be supplied to Dangote at a discounted price for local consumption only. So we can sell to Dangote at the international market price for his export and the one for local consumption, the government can subsidise it...

The fuel lost to theft can be channelled to local consumption if the government is serious about stopping crude oil theft. After all, the stolen crude does not contribute to the nation's economy, so why not stop the theft and sell the crude, which is seldom lost to theft, at a low cost, in agreement that it sells to the local market at a very low cost.

A Striker and we are settled up top...It's the midfield and goalkeeping position that worries me most even more than the need for a CB.

Shocking lack of intelligence displayed on this thread.

Why exactly should Nigeria spend billions of dollars on cutting edge “air defence systems” in anticipation of Missiles from Who exactly?

America?

Britain?

Israel?

China?

Iran?

Who tori Olorun?

Who wants to drop Cruise Missiles or Intercontinental Ballistic Missiles into Nigeria?

Every country worth its salt has billions of dollars of investments In Nigeria, plus planned investments, from China to Russia to even Iran!

If we are talking of military ranking, Nigeria is 3rd in Africa after Egypt and Algeria.

In fact we’re 2nd. It’s not fair to add Egypt because they are heavily funded and armed by the US as a counterweight to Iran etc in that region.

Nigeria ranks a very respectable 31st on Earth, out of a world of 202 countries.

The Nigerian military ranks above Portugal, the Netherlands, Mexico, Argentina, South Africa, Morocco, Switzerland, Colombia, and many other countries. See link below to Global Firepower Index.

The military does not spend money on equipment for which there is no rationale.

Nigerian military spends big money on armoured carriers and such equipment for its most pressing issues - terrorists.

Iran military spends big money on air defence systems because her own problems are different from our own. She is facing Israel. Enemies.

Pakistan spends big on air defence systems because of India with whom they have endless problems.

But you can bet that Sri Lanka and Bangladesh next door to Pakistan Don’t have any big “air defence systems”.

Why? Because they have no threat or enemies to expect a cruise missile attack from.

So military equipment procurement is not about ‘bragging rights’, you children.

It’s about strategic procurement based on your current threats.

See the respected Global Firepower Index for national rankings.

God bless you. It is funny that, bar your comment, only one comment on the front page was relevant to the OP's question. The quality of the exchanges on the platform is at an all-time low.

If the reports are to be believed, I expect Brentford to accept the bid we have put in for Mbeumo. If we get Mbeumo, we will still need to sign a good CF. The big question is whether we have the funds for that especially when you see how we are struggling to offload players.

Rashford, Sancho, Antony, Hojlund (leave on loan or we sell at a huge loss) should be hawked around Europe or Saudi Arabia, we must find a willing buyer, else I don't see where the funds will come from for us to sign a CF and at least one DM/CM...We also need a CB whilst at it unless the club believe the likes of Heaven and Martinez will be fit for the entirety of the season.

Casemiro looks like he is staying.

No one accepts an appointment into any government with the assurance that the government will perform; you accept an appointment hoping that the government will live up to its promise, and you, in turn, will contribute your quota.

What responsible leaders do is that they accept the call to national service and when they get in there and notice the government is not all about service to the people, they resign their appointment. El Rufai is sounding this way because he wouldn't have resigned. He would have been at the forefront defending the very policies he is criticising...

Why can't this children sit out some topics on the front page? You kids will jump into every topic to spew your tribal trash...

Atilu-led coalition? Who made him the leader?

If Atiku does not realise that for the coalition to succeed, all the major players must have equal say, it is bound to fail. It must not be him and only him, let him recognise the role of others.

As I see say na you drop comment last, I think say na announcement you drop.

Griffon:
City completed almost an overhaul. Would begin a season for the first time in ages without their talisman KDB. They’re going to need time to gel and get accustomed to whatever style Pep will be introducing this time.

Conversely, Liverpool has a working system on ground already. They only made few like for like replacements - you can think of it as upgrades to an extent.

Frimpong has same attacking output as Trent if not better and is still defensively stronger than the Englishman. Kerkez and Robertson are almost on par but the former has many years ahead of him. Then you have Wirtz who is coming to make that LW his.

These reinforcements were all made while retaining the base core of the team - Allison, VVD, Gravenbech, Szoboszlai, Mac Allister and Salah.

They’re favorites to retain the title.

Wirtz is taking Szoboszlia's position in the team. Gakpo and Diaz will vie for the LWF position.

Ever8090:
Fat lies, it was not Fulani herdsmen, my younger ones are schooling there and they all ran heading to another community where their mother is residing untill we got the news that it was on individual who was shot by some youth for whatever reason. No single house was burnt. You guys should stop this nonsense pls..

Thank you, I reached out to someone I was told the same thing.

I just confirmed from someone there, no such attack happened. If you know anyone, you can also call to confirm.

I love the fact that we are playing the big guns early enough. This should force the hands of the board because if we don't strengthen we will find ourselves in a relegation battle early on and this will cause serious uproar which might affect stadium attendance.

Let's see how the board will move in the transfer market first.

highchief1:
but u see the people he is fighting for here saying trash ba.nigerians are difficult.someonw who refused to take vip treatment because he wanted to fight for others.nigerians are mad people.anyone who supports airpeace have not travelled by plane.as I type,my refund for a cancelled flight since December I have not gotten it from aero.u guys have no idea of what Nigerian airlines are doing.most people on nairaland are below 18 sha.oshiomole that should be praised is being accused im shocked

God bless you...

A lot of uninformed folks are here writing jargon.

Nigerians are impossible. A lot of the people hating on Oshiomole have never used Airpeace. Local travel by Air can be very frustrating, especially with Airpeace.

Keep your hate for the man and demand better from Airpeace. Someone of you won't tolerate less but are here yapping.

Mossad Commentary...A very good sauce with enough Maggi, Salt, Pepper etc.

afrodoc2:
Yes. Israel always wants more and more US involvement definitely. I was just addressing your claim that they have the bombs to effectively decimate those sites. They really don't have the bombs for some of the sites because of the depth and reinforcement.

To do a good job they need the US bombs. It just so happens that it would also mean more direct US involvement. Netanyahu is a devious fanatic and does not mind all-out war in order to cripple Iran and force regime change over there. That is his end game. He does not want peace or any yeye treaty. He is thinking of 10-20 years ahead when a strong man like him might not be in charge of Israel again.

Well, let's see if the US will cave in to their demands.
