Neymar1095:
Yeah so Ranieri is the greatest of ALL TIME
by that Porto logic. Bringing up a lucky
achievement in a cup competition 14 years ago.

At the same time, it's worth remembering that if
that Paul Scholes goal hadn't been wrongly
disallowed in 2004 against Porto.

airmark:
Europa means nadda. Sevilla won it for how many record times? What did they do in ucl?

Chelsea needs to start buying top quality players, the era of 'patch patch' players winning ucl is gone.

You want to buy quality players yet to pay ordinary 50million for Sandro is a problem. Ha beg forget that thing.

elrony:
Lol , so it's now Euros

I said 100million in my initial post. Did I put any denomination Ewo.

CapitalCee:
mumu, you for kukuma change am to Yen or Naira to suit your narrative. babayoko is 20billion.

mtcheww paid 100million for one overrated dab merchant and two years later nothing to show for it. carried along by Vidal and pirlo yet took all the praise. God will punish Pogba for that.

Lana1:
Ok. Pls remind us..... How much was Bale bought??

you nor get phone. why you dey ask me Mumu question.

So if mbappe had won ballon dor This year then he is an established player . nairaland pundits worse pass Scholes.

odizeey:
bros go and read about de lima, you go knoow say 19 can be established.

How many top level football did Ronaldo play before 19 to be established ode.

elrony:
Ode, show us where Man United signed a player for 100 million

what is wrong with this One. Pogba is even €105 million.

odizeey:
ogbeni been established does not mean there is no room for improvement.

No 22yrs is an established player. They can have one or two good season and flop for the rest.

I repeat as soon as Man United paid 100million for an overrated dab merchant the market collapsed. imagine higuain being bought for 90million because of the Fuckingggg fraud.

So if mbappe was to make fifpro 11 this year then he is an established player. Iniesta did nothing all year but was in fifpro 11. ......Mtcheeew

Some people sense sha. They think very low.

So Pogba at 22 was an established player because the black overrated wood was in fifpro11 . Ha beg as one guy said no time for back and forth argument.

nextstep:
Who thinks up this nonsense? I mean, I've never woken up in my life and said "you know what, let me see what this guy will look like dressed as a gal". So I'm puzzled how somebody would, 1. have the mind, 2. take the time

Why did I even open this thread sef?

#dontbringinto2018

ha beg stop overreacting. Nigerians can form holy. it's just for laughs mtcheww.

op nor just try ursekf haba


it's a new year. your mumu don do

no o. Enough is enough

elrony:
None of the players you mentioned is average...

Find something else to spit!!

80million for higuain and 75million for lukaku is rubbish. Higuain and lukaku is average in fact dead woods.

”My next relationship in 2018 will be based on blood covenant, once my heart is broken…your madness will start”

Tekno look smash able.

dopeJemi:
FIFA thought Pogba Was The boss

Lol, so in that list of the 11 best players in the world, only Pogba was undeserving of the nomination?

Hmmm, is there something you saw that FIFA missed 3 years ago? are you saying FIFA made a mistake?

OK sir forget about it.

dopeJemi:
so in other words, you know better than FIFA and FIFA are blind and stupid to include a dab merchant who didn't do sh.it at all in their world 11

FIFA should be sanctioned

Be reasonable. many people have won awards and nominations that was not deserved. Oya in that juve midfield that year from Vidal,pirlo,marchiso and pogba who was the boss.

Ibime:
He is bad business because of his age and style of play which relies heavily on youthful energy.

I could not believe when someone advised us to spend £50m on Bonucci last summer for the very reasons you are expressing now. At that age, a player could go on summer holidays as a top player and return as a wastepipe.

Form is temporary, class is permanent . Ac Milan thought pirlo was finished and sold him for peanuts to juventus. He reinvented himself at juve and continued at the highest level till 35. yes Vidal is a bargain but a world class one. maybe he can reinvent himself like pirlo.

CapitalCee:
If that's what you mean, then virtually every player that is not up to 29 are potentials since they can improve.

I think 26 is more appropriate. At least 8yrs of top level football ( assuming they start at 18) Should be enough to learn and improve. 27 to 30 is usually prime and peak Age.

CapitalCee:
FIFA said he is the best.
Ronaldo delima won the world best player and at 19 and 20. Messi won it at 22. Ronaldo at 23. they are not finished product at that time but they are no longer potentials.

What is your understanding of potential. Room of improvement, to add more to his game. Don't you think Pogba still has more to add to his game. That's my idea of potential maybe yours is different.

Ibime:
2 years for £50m plus £20m in wages?

I hardly call that a steal. If teams are signing younger players for certain amount, those are players with resale value, not burning £70m on a 2 year project.

Roman is only worth £7bln you know? Una want carry £1bln on top 11 players only.

And how many potential players have floped and sold for lesser value. Depay,renato Sanchez, etc. Are you saying Vidal won't upgrade the midfield or is a bad business because of his age .

MoR2:
he will be turn 31 this year, shebi Chelsea has a policy against such. except he's for free or below 30m and his salary is easily affordable.

Most of Chelsea buy at old age has been fantastic. Makelele, ballack and even Drogba(27) where good business. Vidal will be an upgrade in the Midfield. Conte wants him I think.

CapitalCee:
is he in FiFpro XI like Pogba? pogba was nominated in FiFpro XI what it means is that he is the best in his position in the world for that year.

Pogba was not even the best midfielder in his own team ffs. Iniesta did nothing all year but still ended up in Fifpro eleven which is just a popularity contest. So you are saying at 22 when he made fifpro eleven he was a finished product shey.

CapitalCee:
A FiFpro nominee a potential? have a nice day

Is mbappe not a fifpro nominee. His he not a potential player.

PietroRico:
Di Maria is a fraud. When he couldn't bench Ashley Young, he blamed it on his house being burgled and ran.
Make nobody dey call that one name among serious footballers

I disagree. Di Maria was not a fraud just misused by Van gaal. You can't play Di Maria in a stale possession team. what did you expect. if Di Maria was still here and playing under Mourinho, he will be a beast.

CapitalCee:
so Van dyke = 75m and Pogba = 89m. he has not lived up to his price tag? If you are man Utd CEO and a team comes with a bid of 89m for Pogba, will you sell?

HELL NO! He is 24 with a lot of potential not the finished article yet. But that amount at that time was just too much. I rather spend 80million on an established player like bale and Ronaldo like Madrid did than on potential that might not be fulfilled.

Ibime:
Makelele and Ballack are nothing like Vidal. Vidal is more like Essien or Kante. When their legs go, they are finished.

Vidal is perfectly suited to the premier league hustle and bustle.
2 to 3 yrs of a world class player like Vidal for less than 50million in this market. won't you call that. a steal.
