Bleacher Reports confirms that Ferran Torres has signed a 5-year contract with a lower salary to join Barcelona from Manchester City..

Why am I not ecstatic about this signing?

FirstbornWds:


Baba werey

abduleez1:


Nope. No sentimentality here.

Donnarumma was more pivotal and instrumental to me. Mendy did tremendous lot for his club but Donnarumma's heroics ensured his country's victory.

Different impact bruh.

jpmoriarti:
Euro and world cup is once every 4 years. Mendy and other African talents have other 3 years to show the world what they can do. I am sure they will be considered. The talk of racism in the award is complete nonsense. Drogba, a black man, who is from Cote d'ivoire hosted the event on the night. Are you telling me that France does not have a more competent white event host?

pu7pl3:


I'm not saying they were racists for not voting him but you must agree that there was some defacto bias at work there

pu7pl3:


"ensures his country's victory" that's like how many matches? 3? 4?
Mendy was on form for 7months

Different impact

UncleHaba22:
If not this season
Last season Mendy was not pulling saves
Best goalkeeper is not sometimes only on cleen shit


Donnarruma was Ac Milan's best player last season
Guiding them the ucl for the first time over 10years
Best player as a goalkeeper



But Mendy was just keeping cleen sheets without saves to show for it
And he just came in January if am not mistaken


In euro Donnarruma was Italy best player again pulling saves and winning penalty shoot outs in progressing them to the final


Not everything is racist abeg


Donna deserved it

Any Factos squad that does not know how to tell u Messi don't deserve to win balon'dor will bring yashin award and tell you what about Mendy??

abduleez1:

Na your palava be that.

Clean sheet without key saves to mark wetin be that one.

E just be like Valdes for Barca that time. Great defending saving his @ss.

Besides Euros/Copa America is bigger than UCL in national football. When Jorginho win Euro abi UEFA best player, Una complain? Na now na know say National no suppose count.

Guy if you compare Mendy to Valdes again invisible hand go appear give you better knock...are you normal?

And how did my post suggest that National team prowess shouldn't count

pu7pl3:


what do you mean by "with no saves to show for it"?

jpmoriarti:
Well, Evra said the reason he didnt win was because of racism. I thought that was what caused all the discussion on the subject.

pu7pl3:


nothing like that gee ..I see you as someone that can be objective that's all

UncleHaba22:



Hope you know the time frame for the balon'dor ?

pu7pl3:


I've not even seen Evra's post

BoomBucks:


I didn't see @IYO

I think considering that this year, there was international competition I.e COPA and Euros I'll say Dona deserve it. He saved two PK that's not easy and was also player of the tournament.

Mendy was excellent too for Chelsea but I think if Mendy won it, I'll also say he deserve it.

Both deesrved it but Dona had more direct impact on the result.

I'll say Dona!

You?

BoomBucks:


Lewandowski 100% deserve the B d'or in 2020.

In 2021, he was a strong contender just like Messi.

Based on statistics among other things, do you think he(Lewa) outrightly deserve the award for 2021?

Just seeing this...all I can tell you is that Messi is lucky I'm not in charge of deciding who wins the Balon d'Or

pu7pl3:


Mendy without question

It's what it is then...

abduleez1:

I don't like this.
Na so Man City whine us with Garcia. Aguero unfortunately is a dud. They seem to like dropping their second rate players to us.

I don't really believe we can effectively sign him sef. Agreeing with player and signing deals is different from actually agreeing with owner (Club).
Barcelona can't afford the €70mn they demanding. Even if they lower to around €40mn.
Why? Priority says we need a striker and a CB. IF we manage to sign him next summer and we get to sign other players like Cabral, Adeyemi and a few desirable players, then it would mean what Javier Tebas was right about Laporta and co inflating the level of indebtedness.

Cos I hardly see how they pull this off without a mega deal with sponsors in the nearest future.

jpmoriarti:
Because you already discredited the award, so you'll be looking for reasons to support your position. Mendy was good but Dounarrouma was better.

jpmoriarti:
I disagree. There is no middle ground in this. Messi won it because he deserved it not because it is what it is. There was no voting for 2020. No one knows for sure how the voters would have voted. So even taking it for granted that Lewandowski would have won, wasn't a given.

This is 2021. Messi won Copa America. Lewandowksi won Bundesliga.

OhBritannia:
I don't know if it's Just me having This feeling.

Something is telling me Argentina will win the world cup next year.

I have been having this feeling since they won the Copa America.

Very strange feeling, the last time i had this feeling was when Barca lost to PSG 4 goals to zero and the other day, something in me keep telling me Barcelona will still qualify.

I don't know how Argentina will do it but they will win the world cup.

There are things in life that are spiritual and has already been destined even before the birth of someone and i know it is Lionel Messi's destiny to win the world cup.

If you look at the death of maradona, you will actually see the strange pattern.

One has to go for another to come.

If you know, you know.

pu7pl3:


I didn't discredit anything, I'm saying like many other people that have clear eyes that Mendy was better and deserved it more

tesppidd:
The best thing that happened to Argentina this period is De Paul in midfield and Martinez in goal.

If they discover one more midfield maestro like De Paul them they can be among the favourites in Quartar.

jonsnow92:
Make Ronaldo calm down naa. Commenting Facts under post questioning why Messi was given the award.

His bitterness is getting out of hand, the only consolation is he will never win that award again.
Not with dead axx United.

BoomBucks:




Siuuuuuuu

Una go wail tire

BoomBucks:


I'm 100% team Mess7

it's what it is meant that...

To each, his own.

Meaning, that's his opinion and I can't force mine on him.

#Factos!!!

you guys know that "Factos" was his handler right?
