If he like make he no disturb, na him eyes go peel

I just dey look am, he never know say some of us fit pursue am for him dream...The honeymoon stops 5 games into the new season. I no even dey sure say I go fit wait for 5 matches...😂 😂 😂

If they even succeed and install a new government, expect some among them to start pushing for another coalition in the future...

The truth of the matter is that this crop of politicians can not do any better because they were part of the group that destroyed Nigeria...Their only grievance now is that they do not control the purse of the country...Hand it over to them and watch how they forget about implementing all the good policies they're parroting and begin to loot the treasury dry...

In summary, true change can not come from this bunch...When Nigerians are ready, the masses will rise above ethnoreligious sentiments and vote for competent individuals...

Capaldi, I'm not piling on you but Flick performed miracles this season. Just that he has the same mental problems that Pep has & it is associated with some level of genius. They are incredibly stubborn about their philosophies. Other than that, people need to remember that even on this thread, after RM won the UEFA super cup, some of the ITKs rushed to brandish them the potential UCL repeat winners again. Everyone waxed lyrical about Kylian and what he was going to achieve. This season was supposed to rival or better what Erling did in 22/23. On the other hand, Barca were being referred to as Brokealona etc. They could barely register players. Financial crisis poju. Flick wasn't supposed to win anything. He was just supposed to finish a respectable 2nd whilst Laporta steadied the wobbly ship. Some of their now established starters had to be sourced from the academy. This was supposed to be Ancelotti, Mbappé, RM's season. Flick performed miracles this season.

Spot on!

Amorim should disturb that audio billionaire to get him Gyokeres...

TrebleChamp:
Make them sharperly agree deal for Gyokeres and other important targets..

Deco said they're not interested in Gyokeres and Lewy has confirmed he is staying...

Arsenal are prioritising Sesko...

Chelsea have signed Delap and will most likely not go after another striker...

Liverpool are interested in Alvarez...

Madrid have Mbappe...

Bayern have Kane...

City have Haaland...

Gyokeres is there for the taking...

Na only our transfer them dey report for all the currencies in the world...

odizeey:
Some posts are just funny.

One would think they were gifted the final spot.

Failure is indeed an orphan...We didn't see all this when Inter beat Bayern and Barcelona...Football is football; Inter knocked out Barcelona but couldn't cope with PSG...On the other hand, Barcelona would've caused PSG many more problems...

When PSG hung on against Villa, nobody thought they'd reach the final, let alone win it.

Now, it's time to focus on the transfer window...

BARAJ92:
This is exactly my view but it is surprising how Dembele stays fit for the whole season. Getting

, I have given it a thought, too. Dembele was injury-prone at Barca. Is it down to the medic, or was he faking the injuries at Barcelona? I can't tell...

Jamiuokolaa:
Haha

Credible newspaper sources are man utd fans?

Didn't Yoro opt against joining Madrid to join us? What changed? Did it mean Madrid could not attract quality players or that players were rejecting them?

It's football, it's normal...

spillo1:
Yet when we were scouting Delap for cheap everyone was shouting and screaming for the big names (Osimhen and Gyokeres). We the fans are not yet ready.

I prefer Gyokeres but I was not against the signing of Delap...It's just that I don't like it when fans try to paint different pictures when players we are rumored to be after join our rivals...On the financial side, I don't think Delapfor 30m is a bad deal.

CapitalCee:
You seems to forget Vitinha from Porto.

I just focused on the recent additions. Vitinha, the one who was deemed not good enough by Wolves; Ruiz, from Napoli; Mendes, from Sporting; Marquinhos from Roma; Dembele, from Barcelona...Just good to very good players who are all very comfortable in the ball and workaholics...Our fans will protest if we are linked to players in those clubs...

We really need to stop throwing cash around. They are quality players around, just the right profiling and negotiations, and we can have this team sorted in at least two transfer windows.

Inter were always going to struggle...Barcelona should have knocked them out but that's football...

Now, for those who keep asking if there's any player out there who can replace the ones we have, PSG brought in Pacho from Eintracht Frankfurt, Duoe from Rennes, Neves from Benfica, Kvara from Napoli and look how they have gone on to dominate Europe. Save for Kvara, the rest were not so popular...In fact, 80% of the players in their squad were well-scouted, not the biggest names but efficient footballers...

They quickly shifted from going after big names to recruiting technical yet hardworking players...We don't need the big names, just go out there and sign players who are comfortable on the ball and are ready to work hard...It is not that difficult...

afrodoc2:
I never said he was all that. Just correcting this revisionism that we were not interested in him. Nobody triggered his release clause not even the Chelsea that he is headed to now. It was because he himself put a hold to any talks, not because nobody was interested.

You are getting it wrong. Adisa made reference to Delap as if to say we could not sign one of our targets or rather that he rejected us which is why I responded that if it was a problem of money then we wouldn't be after Cunha who cost twice Delap's fee and if it was a case of we not being able to attract players, then Cunha is obviously the better player yet it is close to joining us.

The point is that if we wanted Delap, we'd have activated the release clause; his deciding to come or not is the issue.

afrodoc2:
Delap's people were not willing to enter detailed talks with any club until the Champion's League picture was clear. What is the point of triggering the release clause of a player that does not want to come to your club?

That is why immediately Chelsea made the Champion's League, and we didn't, his people spread the news that he was only interested in Chelsea.

Well, he is not all that, so no biggie...

odizeey:
Provide names like say he go give you funds to execute your list

See as I burst into laughter...

eph12:
This comment is funny to me. So we won't be able to buy anybody again because we finished 15th?

The thing weak me...

Jamiuokolaa:
If we are unable to convince "ordinary" Delap to join us from lowly Ipswich , is it Gyokeres or Osihmen that would now join easily?

https://www.bbc.com/sport/football/articles/c861vl6z39zo

Like y'all see it, I also want to believe we were never interested in Delap sha.

Is Delap better or more expensive than Cunha? There's nothing out there that proves Delap is better, so if we can attract Cunha and pay over 60m to get him, doesn't it tell you that we still have the pull?

afrodoc:
Activating release clause does not mean automatically the player has to come. The player still has final say on whether he will sign for the club that activates the release clause.

Since there were multiple clubs ready to activate the release clause, Delap held off on going into talks with any specific club until he was sure which one could offer him Champions League football.

I know the decision rest on the player. If we were keen, we'd have also offered to pay the release clause. At least 30m is not in anyway close to the amount we are rumored to be paying for Cunha which means that if he was a priority signing, we'd have made the move since.

eph12:
So if we really wanted him, we would have activated his release clause. It's not one of those deals that should be dragged, it was just 30m. Pay and go. I don't usually believe everything I read online

Simple, we were not interested else we'd have activated his release clause...

Jamiuokolaa:
The Delap deal was supposed to be seamless - we only needed to pay his release clause but what happened? Man ditched the broke and chaotic 15th place relegation battlers for Chelsea.

Unless what we are reading in the papers are not entirely correct sha

I have a feeling that Gyokeres will be the one. I had thought Arsenal will go in for him but apparently they have prioritised Sesko.

If we get Gyokeres after the Cunha deal, that will be a massive upgrade of our attack. We need to look at our midfield and possibly goal keeping department next.

eph12:
How much do we need to get a very good striker that this 100m can't buy?

Gyokeres is going for 65m...Liverpool just signed Frimpong for 35m...

There's value in the market if we negotiate well and go for the right kind of players.

One area we should not forget is the huge money the club will be saving if the likes of Rashford, Sancho, Antony, Casemiro, Eriksen, Maguire, Lindelöf, Shaw, Hojlund and possible Bruno are sold or released...

We can get like 6-7 very good players for 250-300m with modest wages if we go for the right players and negotiate well...

TrebleChamp:
How many clubs have shown interest in the players you mentioned? Chelshit can sign Scamcho for just £25m, but they are considering sending the fraud back for a fine fee. Trashford is available for £40m, but obviously didn't impress Aston Villa Management enough for them to sign him. Antony did very well in Spain, hopefully we see a bidding war to help push his fee up.
The remaining players on your list are also not attracting huge interest so far, so selling Bruno for £100m plus at this time is a good move for both Club and Player.

If he was talking about the wages we will free up if we sell those players on a cheap then, I'd understand but talking about generating 100m from those bumps is laughable.

How much did West Ham pay for Wan-Bissaka again, so isn't it 15m or thereabout...If we see 30m for Maguire, we shouldn't hesitate...

Onana for 20m will be a miracle...Shaw should have his contract terminated under a mutual agreement...

Martinez is returning from a long term injury, so I don't see any club looking his way. Rashford and Antony did reasonably well but Betis don't have 40m to pay, his performance in the Conference League final was very poor, so even if they nursed the thought, that performance was enough to have them change their mind while Villa will want to pay less than 40m for Rashford knowing too well that we want to offload him...

Only Bruno and Garnacho can generate a good fee at this point.

regardless of your intelligence and planning a man with machine gun had advantage over one with pistol

You obviously are not well-informed...Strategy in war is key; India's military lacks wartime experience...Pakistan, on the other hand, is battle-hardened after years of dealing with the Taliban and other armed groups in the Afghan-Pakistan border region.

afrodoc:
Cunha LAMF and Amad RAMF, not the other way round.

Thank you, I just noticed I was mixing up the positions.

chrisley024:
The challenge here is replacing our best player. Given how the Glazers handled the CR7 situation, I doubt they'll reinvest the funds properly— which might require signing two CM. I’d suggest Baleba, but that seems unlikely.

With several attacking players e.g. Rashford, Antony, Sancho, and Garnacho possibly leaving, we’ll likely need to bring in at least two of the AM options you mentioned.

The truth is that players are available for the right price, everything is down to your negotiation skills...

CrystalTiger:
The summer has already started bro, it's here already and not some two to three months away.. Personally, what matters to me is what he does here though not whatever TF he did at Sporting..

The buck doesn't stop at his table, does it?

Almaiga:
Tinubu commissioned Former President Buhari's projects. Buhari awarded and paid for those projects. Tinubu wants to take glory for Buhari's projects.
God bless our former President Buhari

It's this kind of stupid mentality that makes most Governors and presidents come in and abandon projects started by the previous administration...

chrisley024:
You probably understand the set-up more than Amorim does

You expect him o come out and say he wants Bruno to be sold?

The fact he moved Bruno from playing as one of the AMFs to midfield as part of the midfield two tells you that he thinks they're better options as AMFs and he is not satisfied with his option in that two-man midfield...We are close to signing Cunha for the RAMF position and we all know the LAMF spot belongs to Amad...In the long run, do you see Bruno as a reliable option for the two-man midfield? I don't...

CrystalTiger:
Very huge gamble, this is the most scrutinized club in the league ffs..The pressure here can break players into pieces...

I had expected Casemiro to be gone too but RatFace is broke, Glaziers got the deal of a lifetime with RatFace..

Early days but if we can draw inference from what Amorim did at Sporting then, expect a huge clearout this summer.

CrystalTiger:
Very soon it'll be the club couldn't compete in the market because Bruno refused to allow the club make £100m off him..

There are a lot of sh!t heads that should have been shown the door by now to raise money but the whole focus is on letting go of your best player who's the least of your worries..

Sancho, Antony, Shaw, Rashford, Hojlund, Onana, Bandydir, should all comfortably fetch the club that £100m ffs..

Seems this INEOS people are from frying pan to fire..

We need more than 100m...

Jamiuokolaa:
So indirectly, we are selling one of our best players simply because he doesnt fit into a particular style of play.

It is well

Bruno is ageing, you can't tell when the sharp decline will kick in...For a good price, he should be moved on...
