Barca need to cash out on messi rather than letting him go for nothing..

Thats it. Next year he will be on free transfer. Besides depending on messi is a problem on its own.
They should use la masia players and forget about their obsetion with mesdi

Subzero047:
Things I got from watching compilations of Alhassan Yusuf

1) He is a tireless DM/CM that can run the field 2 times without breaking a sweat
2) He is an aggressive tackler like Ndidi
3) He is an above average passer
4) His first touch is not good enough making his second touch almost a tackle
5)He can't operate the ball in tight spaces
6)He is a decent dribbler

Comparable player - Blaise Matuidi
Good enough for the SE now? - No

He needs to work on no 4
Despite that we can put him on the bench or use him in our junior teams. This is why i regret we missed the Olympics but anyway he can still come from the bench and play for 10 to 15 minutes in a friendly or even a competitive match against a weak country

About HENRY ONYEKURU

This is his chance. If he does well in Monaco then he is on his way to being a world class player. If he can have a good deason then the sky is the limit. I seriously hope he does well as he has been higly rated since he was 19 and he finally has his chance in a top 5 league. Now is his chance. The new coach likes him and will give him a chance and i beleive he will excell

Works hard, Rhor likes a hard worker

At boardex he is sometimes played as a wing back and this limits his offensive stats. Besides he has entered team of the week before in France.
I think some people on this forum dont like him. Check out his brilliant goal against benin

Olulong:
He's probably our poorest winger stat wise but somehow Rohr prefers him

He is the most skillfull winger we have and he can take free kicks.
His performances for the national team are good so rohr cannot do away with him anyhow.
Remember his goal last year in an afcon qualifier and his assist against Ukraine.

jihday:
Which quality? Just another pacy footballer

Kalu is skillfull has accurate crosses can mark can create chances and is technically sound.

He can play wing back play as a winger a support striker and maybe an attacking midfielder.

He is not too cknsistent as lonecitizen said. I have watched him in some matches and seen how good he can be. Rohr likes him for the qualities i just stated.
He is a low budget bukayo saka even though he is not as good as him
He is a good player in his own right

TheLoneCitizen:
More like potential, he's too inconsistent. But man is still younger than Onyekuru so he can grow.

One of his best performances was against south africa away when we drew 1 1. It was an afcon qualifier and kalu was a beast in that match. He played as a wing back abd he caused the only goal we scored

TheLoneCitizen:
Josh Maja substituted at halftime, if Kalu doesn't feature in a game of 5 subs, he's done with Bordeaux.

Kalu subbed in with 15 minutes to go. Kalu is too much of a quality player to be consigndd to the bench. Anyway he may go to turkey as Galatasatay are serioudly interested in him

humility33:
Thanks Bro.
Still don't understand what will make someone of us here think there exist a 20 years old playing in the NPFL

Mere looking at the dude will tell you his true age...oshh so much wish Andrew was here to tell us his true age

In fact i checked and he was playing in the nigerian league at 14 and this is highly suspicious

tbaba1234:
Aremu is not 20...

What makes yoy think so. Looking at his antecedents i suspected as much

Danielnino00:
Yes na

The guy should get out of saudi arabia. He can try spain or belgium. That league is too low for him

Danielnino00:
Musa with 2 assists at half time...

Which musa is that ahmed musa

forgiveness:
What about if Ighalo hit the ground running with Manchester United? What do you think?

In my opinion, i prefer Victor Osimhen. Osimhen is more mobile and agile and his off
the ball work is better. He is also more involved in build up.
Ighalo cannot function without a midfield while Osimhen can still function without a midfield
Osimhen's pressing is also better (Check out his goal against Valencia. It was not even a pass from his player but a wrong pass from the opposing team).
Most coaches will prefer Osimhen because of his hard working all action style.
Ighalo is still a good player though

forgiveness:
Musa and Moses were ineffective!? Really!?

Musa was our besy player in 2018 world cup. He was the only thing we had in attack against Argentina

TheLoneCitizen:
You don't have to be a target man to be a striker. There are different roles a striker can fulfill and target man is just one of them.

And Aguero is no isolated incident, of the 7 highest scoring strikers last decade in the EPL. 3 are the same height range as Onykeru and one is just 0.8m taller.

Onyekuru does not have the creativity of wingers, but has the finishing of strikers.
Finishing ability is what makes you a good striker.

In my opinion i think onyekuru is like salah or mane of liverpool. A wing forward. In modern foitball the difference between winger and striker is not much. Thats how liverpool play

IDENNAA:
Personally , I prefer tall strikers

He may be a wing forward like thiery henry able to play as winger or striker

TheSuperNerd:
The club itself. TSV Hartberg. Lol

I mean give me the link to it

TheSuperNerd:
Samson Tijani begins with a debut goal

Samson Tijani(18) has already began his journey in Austria with a bang.

He scored the third goal for his side, TSV Hartberg as they defeated Banik Ostrava 4-1 in a preseason friendly.

He played the second 45 mins after TSV Hartberg had changed their entire first XI from the first 45 except one who stayed on till 84 mins.

Tijani is on loan for the 2020/21 season to Austrian Bundesliga side, Hartberg from RB Salzburg.

Ah i have allways beleived in this boy. Big teams were chasing him. I know he is destined for greatness.
But please tell me your source

Olulong:
With the salary(that's if it's true o), I think he'll play. No club will pay that much only to bench the player.

If he plays, it will be a record. Porto loves benching Nigerian players a lot.
He will be one of the few Nigerians that breaks into their first team.

By the way there is a Nigerian called ebuka alphonsus in their youth team.
He is a midfielder and i hope he also breaks into their first team next season

TheLoneCitizen:
Some of the clubs interested in Tolu Arokodare.

Anderlecht, Toulouse, Amiens, Angers, Slavia Prague.

Valmeria play Lech Poznan in 9 days time in the first qualifying round of the Europa League, a one-legged tie.

How about his quarrel with his club. Has it been resolved or he is still on strike?

According to Punch newspappers
Afeez Aremu is going to St Pauli a second division team in Germany.
Good progress i say.
Lad is only 20

Danielnino00:
But he signed Mahrez,Bony,Seydou Keita,Benatia and even our own Kayode

While u think he is racist, I think he has a preference to certain players...

Come to think of it, how many tactically gifted players has Africa even produced?

I'm not talking about prolific goalscorers or rugged defenders o.. I'm talking about tactically gifted players like De Bryune, Xavi,Iniesta,Messi,Silva,etc... The kinds Guardiola likes...

The only kanu nwankwo. He was so tactically and technically gifted. That makes him unique for an African

mrflex999:
Samu good as backup

Awaziem is not good enough to play for Barcelona

Yeah you are right. I think Samuel Chukwueze will be good in Barcelona.
Check out this article on opera that says something similar

Edopesin:
100%
Lindelof and Pogba are just farmers, Honestly Fernandes deserves a better team than this Manchester United, he was all over the place

Ighalo should just relocate back to China

The coach should have used ighalo earlier in the match. An extra body in attack will help. He made a mistake

Edopesin:
In the spirit of inevitable derailing, I'm here to see Man U decimated

It seems you like Micheal Jackson a lot. You are allways using his pictures

TheSuperNerd:
On Tolu Arokodare: Why he isn't in action right now as his side play

Ladies and Gentleman, there is fire on the mountain at Valmiera. Tolu Arokodare refused to train with the team or play today's game. He is trying to force a move to Anderlecht although the club, Valmiera say over 10 sides are interested in Tolu.

Tolu's agent is the same agent that Osimhen fired to bring in William D'avila (associate of Super Agent Jorge Mendes) and D'Amico.

Yep... Jean Benoit Czajka is his name. Osimhen's former agent who was fired in the course of the Napoli deal.

Below is the club's statement.

I dont understand fifa laws (i am not a lawyer) but maybe he and his agent should enter into some sort of negotiation with Almeria. Maybe after one season he can leave. The kid is still very young and should not be in a hurry. Does his agent know what he is doing or is his agent misleading him. Nigerian/African players seem to have problems with agents and other modalities including exploitation.

Samuel Chukwueze can go to Barcelona now. The reason is that Barca is in A revolution and they will want young and cheap players and he fits the bill.
They are in a situation in whuch they have to go back to the grassroots (maybe la masia) and sell their stars. Samuel Chukwueze could be an option as he is young and has some la liga experience and he is relatively cheap and they can easily mould him

Bolowolowo:
Ladies and Gents, the cover photo of Nantes on Twitter.

Moses Simon in the center, as the face of the club...

Is moses simon underrated. He is well rated in Europe but we see him as an average player but his stats indicate he is very good.
Rohr will keep calling him because of this.

Starboytwo:
i just had to log in somehow, hahaha, ive never been happier.... 8-2, boy it is finished....

i seen it in busquest eyes the moment he was subtituted, The Era finally ended... no more magic, all barca players or lets say the core of the team(bar messi) are old and tired... Today or yesterday, de jong is the only player they have...

Im damn sure Messi and family are gonna have some serious talk soon enough, HE SHOULD LEAVE BARCA..... Also barca need him to leave so that they can rebuild, theres no rebuilding with MESSI still in that team, tehy shgould build around de jong etc.... i dont like barca, but yesterday was an overkill....

BAYERN MUNCHEN

one word=FRESHLY OILED MACHINE.... This is the best performance i have seen from a team.... tipping them already.... and why are all the bayern players so tall, huge annd still very fast .... oboy, this match is classic.... i must buy the pirated dvd...

andrew kpele, my heart went out to you when alphonso destroyed your defence, take heart brother...

I have been saying it. The team depends too much on Messi. They need a coach who will be bold enough to drop him and they need to start using their academy players. The team needs to be overhauled

charlesemeka85:
i told some of my friends that barca will be worst than man united,ac milan and arsenal after messi have retired or left the team.

That barcelona team needs to be overhauled. Messi should be dropped. The players dont want to work they are just waiting for messi.

tbaba1234:
Akpom and Ejaria switches are complete.

I dont mean to be rude but men we dont need Akpom in our team. He is just average and the position he is in is filled.
However, we need ejaria, our central midfield needs some creativity and dynamism.
Akpom on the other hand is just there. He is comming at the wrong time. I don't want to waste time by naming players ahead of him.
