Why would I call klopp a fraud?

Please compare the value of the Dortmund squad that he took to finals of champions league and won the league with to Fraudiola's squad, isn't it obvious that the guy is a fraud?

Compare the amt spent on transfers at Man City to the amt spent at Liverpool since they both arrived. Isn't Guardiola the clear fraud?

Rio Ferdinand on Guardiola:
That’s a genius sitting there. He’s somebody who’s an innovator. He’s changed the way we see football.

“We talk about goalkeepers coming out and being a part of the team, and not being detached and just being a goalkeeper. They’re now part of the back four and they’re involved – and that’s down to him.

“Full-backs are playing inside the field now more than ever. It’s crazy, some of the stuff he does.

Bro, that is why I call guardiola a fraud

Fraudiola is more like it

I tell andrewbaba44 a lot of times....any coach from league one in England can do just as well at Man city with the money at his disposal...

You spend nearly a billion on transfers and you're acting as of you're the best coach in the world

Ask many football fans and trust me, their first choice won't be Fraudiola



Wetin dz guy deh talk sef

Guardiola buys what he needs. He never replaced Kompany , Angelino and d possible departure of Eric Garcia. Laporte was injured for the best part of last season. Tell me wat ur Mourinho will do in his case.....bring in a defender from English league one abi

When Laporte was injured last season you saw that city had no LCB and trust me that was good news for Liverpool

I never knew it was bad to have a Laporte backup cheesy

You can call him fraud but your favorite might never achieve what he has achieved till he stops coaching grin

Epl fan boys first choice was always Guardiola till he came to their league

I did not say anything wrong about Klopp. You are the one shouting fraud and buying to win.

So if it is just buying to win, would we be converting players who are not defenders. By the way, Milner played defence role at City multiple times before Klopp.

Of course....

Fraudiola wants to buy the best players at every position possible to massage his overbloated ego...if not for UEFA fair play rules

Why not compare Liverpool squad?

We are over charged that is all. Our bulk money on players are above their value. Clubs don't like selling to city, so we over pay. We don't have star power to pull players off clubs.

It is not that Cancelo or Stones are worth the kind of money they cost us to equate it to buying titles. We also have to spend a fortune to replace Demiechelis, Zabaleta, Sagna, Clichy, Kolarov and now Kompany. No team faced with such task. Lots of players Guardiola met and has managed them. Lost in the transfer market by not going overboard like Sanchez and Van Dijk.

That fraud talk is a lie. If not Guardiola won't have to convert a central midfielder like Zinchenko to a left back to cope. Or convert Fernandinho to a defender. These players never played defence all their lives.

Only someone not true to the game will try to discredit the massive contribution Pep has done to football.
SO VVD is going overboard?

What of those teams buying players for over 100m?

Oga, talk another thing....fan of fraudiola

I have told you how the computer calculates chance created. The so called big chances simply means the player gave the pass that lead to a shot.

Deconstruct this with the position he played for Arsenal as an advance midfield player, then you will realise there's no much to talk about.

Mind you, this guy was feeding the deadliest striker in Europe at the time. Auba's shot to goal ratio last 2 seasons was phenomenal. At a point he was on one shot one goal during Arsenal's 22 goal run.
If you're feeding such a striker and you're not hitting more than 4 assists then something is wrong somewhere.

Mr, a big chance is defined by Opta as 'A situation where a player should reasonably be expected to score'. Meaning a one-one.

You asked 'How many chances have Iwobi created', brother gave you the stats now you disregarding it? Face the facts.

22 years. Still young enough to start but you need to do a lot of training to get yourself up to speed. In two years from now you can be a pro.

The earlier the better. This period would have been good for you because lots of trials will be going on. Even if you don't make it, you can be ready from the next. A friend of mine much older than you still got signed for a club in London after trials. But, however the guy has been working hard before travelling for the trial.

Not late at all.

Yep. Plus we missed Iwobi's ball carrying ability in the beginning of the season when Pepe was struggling to settle in.
The emergence of the Ceballos helped a bit in that regard.
Martinelli is a bit like Auba in the sense that he has poor holdup play. Freddie and Arteta eventually realized you can't have both him and auba in the starting 11 as it'll be turnover galore.
Willock had 3 good games earlier in the season and was mostly shit after that.
You are absolutely correct bro.

The Evolution of the Nigerian players transfers fees - Football money game.

Notes:

✔Okocha back in 1998 cost PSG £14 million pounds (i.e. 18.3 million dollars). That was the Most Expensive transfer fee paid for an African player back then. During the era of Nigeria's first Golden Generation. Today it sits outside the top 10.

✔John Mikel Obi Nchekube at $23.7 million dollars (i.e £ 16-18 million pounds or 20million euros) was only 19 at the time and his fee became the record fee for an African teenage footballer. A record that stands till today.

✔Alex Iwobi was Nigeria's most expensive until Osimhen came along.

✔Ademola Lookman can be counted too because he has already applied for a switch of international allegiance. The NFF and the lad did so since January so it's only a matter of time.

✔All transfer fees stated are in Dollars ($). Their equivalents in pounds (£) or Euros (€) can be easily calculated on your calculator or via a simple Google search.

You're welcome. wink

No sensible arsenal faithful, myself inclusive, will rate Willock high, even to downgrade Iwobi. Just stop!

Iwobi is by far, a more technical and better chance creator than Willock.

If Guardiola held Manchester United’s team under Mourinho, he would have transformed them to one of the best playing sides in Europe.

At least I can think of Mikhitaryan, Mata, Herrera, Pogba, Sanchez, Shaw, Rojo, if I am correct, Bailly. Ha.

How Mourinho used that team to get relegation form remains a mystery to football lovers.
Pogba and maybe Herrera aside, the rest are farmers

The renowned Dr Kolade



Very popular among lots of NPFL
and NNL footballers for helping them recover faster from threatening injuries. And he is the reason loads of them travel to Lagos.



As sweet as it sounds, its further revealing the rot in the medical aspect of football clubs in Nigeria.


A top club cannot boast of a physio!!??

Na bungalow clinic staff dem go employ.
Thus the death of that young man months ago.



Before this league resumes, i think its Mandatory for clubs to just have some unavoidable structure in place. At all cost.

The same Sanchez Mourinho fought Guardiola and paid a fortune for. The same Mata that was a genius at Chelsea.

If Guardiola uses them to perform, you people will say it is the players. If Mourinho flops with them, you will call them farmers. Give Guardiola his props and that is where it stops.

Belgian champions Club Brugge are courting Nigeria U23 invitee Frank Onyeka but the midfielder's asking price could prove a stumbling block in their bid to sign him from FC Midtjylland, according to reports.

Het Nieuwsblad says Club Brugge have made a 3.5 million euros bid for Onyeka but the Wolves are demanding 8-10 million euros before shredding their agreement with the Nigerian.

Onyeka was the star of FC Midtjylland's title winning squad in the recently concluded season and was officially named the club's Player of the Year.

The 22-year-old has racked up 82 appearances for FC Midtjylland since breaking into the first team following his move from cooperative club FC Ebedei and has tallied 13 goals.

Onyeka's ambition is to play in the Premier League in the coming years, with Liverpool his dream club, and he idolises Chelsea star N'Golo Kante.

In a question and answer session with ronaldo.com earlier this year, Onyeka said when asked to name his dream club: " "Liverpool. Because of the way they play, which is also my style of play.

"My first step should be to get to a league where I can play regularly. In five years, I dream of playing in the Premier League."

On his biggest role model in football, he said : "N'Golo Kanté from Chelsea and the French national team. His style of play is something I want to achieve in the future, and I know it can be done."

Queens Park Rangers' Nigerian-born winger Bright Osayi-Samuel is also attracting huge interest from Club Brugge in the summer transfer window.
