Gusto is so irritating to watch. Thinks he's prime Maradona. Keeps the ball far too long than necessary
Guy this was what I just said in my mind, exactly same thing. That guy suppose break hn leg. Holding on to the ball like he has something important to do with it only to play it back

I must say gusto have been promising

4 assist despite not being a regular

He improving....even assisted for the left yesterday
Let him just keep improving so that we can have a stable right back and get some cash for James.

You always check stats every time. Stats is not everything.

Did u stop playing football in JS2 or something?
Yes o. I stopped playing in js3 actually.
Why won't I look at stats, it gives you an idea of how a player is. With his stats I can say he is not an upgrade to odegaard presently.

Na why I even ignore am and no even quote am.

He talked about How Odegaard doesn't have leadership, model and lack consistencies and the person he called is freaking Wirtz as replacement??

So between the two, who is even closer to his criteria sef?

Some people ehhh embarassed
All his criteria no even enter for wirtz. I even had to check their stats. Wirtz has 5goals and 5 assist while odegaard has 4goals and 3 assist with less games o and a more competitive league.

I no be arsenal fan but there is no way I won't put odegaard in top 5 creative midfielders in the league and saka also top 5 wingers in the league.
If he said the coach should request more from them that is understandable but saying they can't take you guys anywhere (which I will be happy about anyway grin) is where I no go gree for am

That one sef dey.

The problem with the players we depend on to take us to where we desire to be is the Lack of all-round Development in their game.
These are the players we heavily depend on: Martinelli, Saka, Odegaard.
Whether they're exciting is not in doubt. Their development as all-round players is incomplete. That means we'll need quality players to help them develop. Arteta might be a coach and whatnot, but he doesn't understand these things. And that's why the players will give him hope today and leave him confused tomorrow.
If you have played this beautiful game and studied football very well, you'll discover that the TRUE TEST of a WINGER is the ability to take players on. If you can't do it every now and then, in my opinion, you're a waste of my time.
You must be able to do it 7 times out of 10. This makes defenders know you're ruthless.
Martinelli struggles to take players on. Saka too.
And even though it is true that Martinelli and Saka usually do take-ons, it's not enough because the confidence they have is not enough.
What does that tell you? That Development is not enough.
You want to be a Great player on the wing and you cannot beat players 7 times out of 10 on the by-line, where would that take you?
Of course, you'll qualify from the UCl, and you'll likely win the 2nd round of the UCL. But when the Quarters come, what happens?
You'll likely fall apart.
We've seen players do it - Mane, Salah, Bale, CR7, Mahrez, Chiesa, etc.
Even Robben and Ribery were doing it at Old-age.

It would have been easier if they were very special talents but they're not.
Even if you give it 3 extra years, we won't achieve much.
The reason is, Arteta is not ready to drop Saka, Martinelli and Odegaard. He's also not ready to rotate them.
In trying to help Saka, he brought Marquinos, who had zero experience. Shaybe people said he was exciting. Where is he today?
That tells you Arteta doesn't know what he's doing at all. And then there's Nelson. What can Nelson do for real? Come'on! Let's be real.

We don't have an influencer in midfield. Rice seems to be one, but he's a wannabe influencer. It's not part of his game even though he tries to do it.
Partey is an influencer, but he's absent.
Our chief influencer is supposed to be Odegaard. But he doesn't influence, does he?
That's why I tell fans to be careful about stats because it is not everything. Yes, he scored 15 goals a season. And so?
Let's be real. Does he influence games as much as you desire?
I don't need him to score goals. That's not his job but just a bonus.
I need him to be in that area and dictate the tempo and make everything revolve around him. I need him to be able to find players both aerially and on the ground, giving slide-through passes, and picking pockets every now and then.
I need him being in charge in such a way that his teammates understand that they can make intelligent runs when he's with the ball because they trust he can find them.
I've said it before. We can't go anywhere with Odegaard as our creative midfielder. You look at Florian Wirtz at Bayer Leverkusen and see what he's doing. Then you know Odegaard is far off from what we want.

My concern is that if Arteta believes so well that he'll make Odegaard, Saka and Martinelli his key starters and not bring anyone else of higher quality to challenge them. Eventually, fans will turn on him, and then the management will do same.
After all said and done Florian wirtz is the big name player you called. Someone who is just having his breakout season if I am correct.

The wirtz is even more of a ball carrier to me who is also still developing. So your solution to odegaard is wrong. Let us hear your solution to saka and martinelli.

Just giving himself unnecessary headache. Colwill at left back has not worked since beginning of season but man is still persisting with it.
Even if we win it does not negate the fact that he is a confusionist.

Man U is more useless than Chelsea. Don't let their spot on the table deceive you, you are the only team within the top 10 whose goal difference reads negative.
Oga they are better than us. Your position on the table tells how good you are and we are that useless cheesy

When he was invincible the entire match how can he do anything.

Sterling created 4 chances, a goal plus multiple good passes that didn't lead to a shot. Two passes to Jackson and one to Broja. Also singlehandedly created the chance he missed. If sterling was poor because of one missed chance then the rest attackers need to be burnt for being useless.
You must always defend rubbish. There must be an excuse from you. Na only you dey defend Jackson still dey defend sterling.
Advocate for mediocrity

Jackson has been descent. Ofcourse he still has some parts of his game he has to improve and do better. He has 7goals in 16 games this season without being the penalty taker like other top strikers for their team. We have had 6 penalties these season, let assume he took them all and misses 1 or 2 he would have been in double digits already in December.
I am happy with the part you said he still has parts he needs to improve

I think they were just considering it then. It was kante that went for the surgery if I remember correctly.


Plus I think surgery will likely take more than 3 months.
He no get better advisers?. I think there must be a reason he has not done surgery yet. Does he enjoy the free time he gets when injured? grin

exactly.

Just take entire season off and come back better. All these 3 games on 10 games off is annoying.
I thought he had the surgery last season where he was out for like 3 months or so.
He should just take the season off, have the surgery, who knows he might be ready for euros.

Thanks for your help...

How do I go about the court order? Is it from an high court? I'll be willing to give it a chance as that's my last hope . I know how financially exhausting approaching the police may be, not when I don't any money..
There was a lady who had money issue with her landlord, she went to Twitter tagged his number. Them too call the man he had to give a time that he will pay her the money.
He was begging that they should please don't call him again. You can use the "poor student" angle, people love sentiments. Just create the post on Twitter and tag popular angle.

Not at all.

When bank liquidates , the first set of people that will get compensated are the creditors of the bank followed by those who hold preference shares. If at that time money no dey again to share to anybody ; e don be for any other stakeholder be that .

Now that’s where NDIC comes in; NDIC will pay a Maximum of N500k to u for the funds u have with the bank as a customer and that’s the end . Cos the N500k is the Maximum NDIC can guarantee they can pay on behalf of the bank if it fails .

But don’t fret , NDIC and CBN through their risk based supervision have made it almost impossible for banks to fail post 2005 bank consolidation exercise . ( Just like itsrm pointed out ) . Instead make bad thing happen , rain go fall .

Before a bank fails CBN would’ve seen it miles ahead and they would’ve stepped in . It’s one of the reasons AMCON was established ; if not for
AMCON banks like banks like FBN, UBN etc would’ve failed due to their bad debts wey people like Oba Otudeko , Ben Bruce and the likes dey owe them.
Thanks for the insight. I really appreciate. Does this even apply to all those microfinance guys like opay and the rest abi na OYO their customers dey?

For where? It's just that the banking industry is well regulated. These days, once CBN notices signs of distress, they will sack the board and handover the bank to a caretaker like they did to Skye bank before it eventually turned to polaris.
Thanks for the info. I have always thought of those with large amount in all those microfinance bank as the real MVP, like where you take muster up all this courage grin
