Season of impeachment.




On another note though,

It's going to be another 10 months of super fun for me.

-EPL coming up.
-La liga coming up.
-UEFA champions league coming up.


-PDP presidential primaries and disintegration coming up.
-2019 coming up.

Debroslink:
Mr Arturo Vidal,


Welcome to FC BARCELONA. Your arrival will add steel to our midfield. Your arrival reminds me of the time we signed Mark Van Bommel on a free transfer, which turned out to be one of the greatest free signings in our history.

May your arrival restore us to the pinnacle of European football. May you be injury free throughout your stay.

it shall be so

specco:
That's why I love Pdp. A party of matured men and women. No room for frivolities, lies and propaganda. What you see is what you get. No hanky punky. Apc has elevated falsehood to a new level. Bare-faced lies, falsehoods, propaganda and intrigues. This is what disgusts a lot of folks with Apc. Just lies, lies and more lies. No shame!

that is why they say Nigerians have tortoise mentality.

the most myopic nation on earth.

one day of suffering and they forget 100 years of enjoyment.
one day of enjoyment and they forget 100 years of suffering.

Pdp mature party?
Pdp doesn't lie?


who doesn't remember when Pdp stood for

P- People
D- Deceiving
P- People

People Deceiving People


that was when Pdp used to thrive in lies and propaganda.

veekid:
Arturo Vidal has signed for Barça.

great

They did not defect when they claimed buhari was killing innocent biafrans

They did not defect when they claimed buhari was supporting herdsmen to murder people in benue

They did not defect when they claimed the nbs said millions have lost their jobs under buhari


They lost in the ward congresses and decided to defect after all the juicy pdp promises

And some nigerians actually believe them when they said they defected to defend democracy or because the apc failed to provide the dividends of democracy


Idiotic Nigerians!

Why are PDP just paranoid like this?

They see evil everywhere, even where non exists.

haymekus:
Mtcheeew

Another senseless statement, you are stouting unbeaten as if we even deserved to pick up point(s) from most of the games we played

Most times, i just wonder when you started watching football sef

tone it down son,

tone it down!

HumbleBoy21:
levante beat Barça in a laliga match.
We never won tbe league unbeaten.

we did not go the league unbeaten

we only won the league unbeaten


think about it

monerozi5590:
Unbeaten! What about this score line.. Levante 5 Barcelona 4?

you're quite right,

so lemme rephrase,



"BARCA WON THE LEAGUE TITLE UNBEATEN"

Upnepaa:
Perhaps, we are having the same agenda but different Ideology...
That is, winning the champions league after getting knocked out in the quarters of the last 3 editions....

Our weakest point over the years has been the midfield, having a midfield controller like XAVI which will lessen the burden on the Messi led attack, I remember vividly that we even suffered many times even with the presence of the mighty MSN...Why because we actually lacked the right personnels in the midfield.


So after all the sufferings and heartaches, cum with the departure of Iniesta, instead of the board to find a viable player to replace the two midfield dynamos, they are busy chasing mediocre players up and down. Fact is, no player in the world can actually replace them, however, we can sign players that can fit perfectly to our plans and play the "barca way" e.g Thiago, Pjanic or Erikssen ...


You also talked about having a perfect substitute for Busquet, I believe that Rakitic can do that ( He played the DM position some times last season and performed largely well) and I also believe King Arthur can replace when need be.


The board are so myopic that they always hold a short term plan and not a long one...The purchase of 30 and 31 years old Paulinho and Vidal respectively, is a pointer to this...How many years can we actually get from a 31 year old Vidal... bros stop thinking like those Dundees at the helm of affairs in Camp nou Jo!!! I despise it.

lol,

if am thinking like those dundees then i must be a dundee too, abi?

lol,

since we have got different ideologies then we'd prolly never agree.

thiago and pjanic are far inferior to xavi and iniesta.

thiago is as inconsistent as the menses of a biitch with std's.

erickson i do adore, but dani levy wouldn't give him to you, even at gun point.

valverder knows what he wants to do.

messi,suarez,dembele,coutinho,dennis suarez,busquets are very soft players with a lot of skills.

he needs a tough player like paulinho like vidal.

valverde knows what he's about.

he went unbeaten last season, and it only became an anti-climax because of the roma game.

lessons have been learnt.

if he had rotated well enough we might have played in the champions league final.

maybe we need to stop looking for xavi and iniesta.

they gone for ever.

Atouke:
Keep deluding yourselves. Akpabio will not defect. The meeting is just about the executive trying to broker a deal with PDP to get them prevail upon saraki to reconvene the Senate so they can pass the bill to fund the elections 2018. And other urgent matters that the Senate needs to get done.

lol

And he chose the moment of the PDP NEC meeting to broker peace with Osinbajo Receive sense my brother.

Almaiga:
And the game is on.


APC supporters right now.

Abeg where is this meme from?
What country?

haymekus:
Asin eeehhhh


Knee injury for that mata, u know its reoccurent.


This is a bad choice by all standards


I hope he's not coming to bench dembele just like paulinho did

Sommyroy10:
Very nice. let's Hope he does not suffer any injury. last season he was injured 6 times (167days). Aside that and his temper, a shrewd signing at a nice price and no disturbance in wage. If this goes through, seems inter will go all out for Modric.

Just checked

And he's not injury prone.

It was just last season when he collected only 35 appearances.

Every other season he averaged 47 appearances.

There are roughly 55 games in all competitions.


He probably had a set back last season only.

5 reasons it's a wise choice

A summer surprise in the form of a midfielder looks set to be sprung on the Camp Nou with Arturo Vidal's arrival looking imminent at Barcelona, with the Chilean previously seeming just a matter of steps away from joining Inter.

The signing of Vidal, hasty as it may seem, is rather taking advantage of an opportunity to incorporate a necessary type of player into Ernesto Valverde's system. Here are five reasons they have gone for the Bayern Munich man.
1. Paulinho's profile

The most recent evidence that a player like Vidal can work in this Barcelona is Paulinho who so successfully settled under Valverde last season before being sold against the wishes of the coach this summer. In his absence, the coach wants the void filled and Vidal offers similar characteristics to the Brazilian.
2. A key cog in the spine

Vidal is an all-round, all-action player who covers distance like few others. These features would help to bring out the best in Ivan Rakitic and Sergio Busquets and allow them to break free from time to time.
3. Aerial play

Another facet in Vidal's game is his ability in the air. Whether it's in defence or attack he is deceptively strong with his head and this would bring a lot to Valverde's system.
4. Leadership and character

He did it with Chile, Bayer Leverkusen, Juventus and with Bayern Munich. If there is one thing that defines the midfielder it is his character and ability to lead and omit a winning mentality. He orders, corrects and makes his space his own.
5. Experience and instant impact

Just as some signings are afforded time to settle and acclimatise, Vidal will be expected to hit the ground running and this is something that he has shown with every move he has made. His track record of performing at Europe's biggest clubs show that he is up to the task, and he should take the move in his stride.

wow

never knew he was that injury prone

even coutinho is injury prone

dembele is injury prone

which is why we must have a squad as big as possible


cant imagine playing a champions league semi final against juve or madrid with malcolm and arthur.

Lol

We have Inter Milan and Manchester United scrambling to sign that player.

And we are here talking about developing players.

While the whole of europe are spending and buying quality, leaving us to be copa del rey and la liga specialists.

We need to build a solid squad around Messi.

The man is two footballers rolled into one and has got 4 or 5 years for us.

Messi is the only thing which makes us potentially superior to every other club in the world in the pitch.

I mean all of them.

If we waste 5 years developing players then we will not win the champions league for the next 10 years.

We must prioritise winning the champions league above developing players or maintaining some philosophy.

Who says we can't even do them concurrently?

veekid:
Arturo Vidal will be signed for around €25m on a 3 year deal and accepted half the salary Inter offered him just to play for Barça. [md]

cool

very cool

homesteady:
If buying Vidal is for the sake of squad depth, that's okay, but not as a defensive midfielder, more like a box to box midfielder.

that's what I am saying.

a box to box midfielder can attack and defend as well.

and yes squad depth is very vital.

people just don't understand how lean our squad is.

just take out the first eleven and you see for yourself who and who is left on the bench.

Busquets is the only world class DM in the squad.

Our squad is more like Mavrodi's ponzi scheme.

Sumptuous attacking midfield, lean defensive midfield.



No harm in adding Vidal to;

Busquets, Alena, Samper.



It's seems almost 90% Vidal is coming,

And I am very pleased with it.

Sommyroy10:
Why are you now generalising?

Sorry

"Some"

Barca fans and their fantom superiority complex sha!

haymekus:
U get sense??

sense dey your blood?

Upnepaa:
Bros you dey fall my hand oooo

Auturo Vidal ko Auturo feeder!!!


He will only be a burden/liability for us than being an advantage.


Instead of the board to be looking for a player in the mould of Xavi/Iniesta ( Something that has been our weak point for long) we are actually looking for a rugby-soccer player mould player in the name of Vidal, at 30 what can he actually offer


Consecutive Quarterfinals exits but this is all this pathetic board could look for, I will rather we develop Alena,Damper, Puig than to waste money on Vidal...

maybe you can help to suggest that player in the mould of xavi and iniesta who is available

Hmn

you guys stay there and be developing

and still be masters of copa del rey and la liga!

not copa del rey
not la liga

the priority now is the champions league

face it!

we are not going to win the champions league with malcolm or arthur or dennis suarez or andre gomez

we need big game players with winning mentalities to win the champions league

we need a quick fix

we have been developing players for the past 6 years

with this squad we have we cannot compete with the top dogs in europe anymore

face it

this squad would leave messi labouring again like he did last season

top scorer, top assist, top chances created, top dribbles

haba!

there is a lot of talent in the squad yes

we need one more proven world class midfielder

Aturo Vidal to inter next week.

Barca trying to hijack the deal.

So shall it be, Amen.

This Abba guy is a Jack Bauer.

We really do have a lean squad sha.

Our bench would be something like this;

Andre Gomez
Arthur
Alcacer
Roberto
Dembele
Lenglet


Very poor compared to the european elites like bayern, madrid, city, psg, juve.

The least we could do now is sign a world class DM before the window closes.

At this rate PDP will grasp on anything just to massage it's ego and give a false sense of acceptance.

Soon we would begin to hear stuff like;

*1 million wives and girlfriends dump APC for PDP.

*Drivers of 60,000 APC chieftains decamp to PDP.

*80,000 NYSC members in all 24 APC states say they love PDP.

Useless PDP.

Wiseandtrue:
Whether it was in 2017 or 2018 the fact remains that during this duration President Mohammed Buhari was and still the president!

The fact remains that:

7million+ lost their jobs during Buhari's administration

While he promised to make provision for 3million jobs/year BUT instead of job provision it is the opposite!

A better argument should have been "did people really lost their job " but this administration have a way of reasoning backwards!

Now that NBS guy or whatever should have come up with fresh fact by telling us how many Nigerians have being gainfully employed in 2017/ 2018

But atlas it is little or none hence this baseless argument!

In summary, Buhari has failed in ALL ramifications! Not even a single promise was kept!

If Buhari was a man of integrity as claimed, the honourable thing for him to have done is to resign!

It's a shame! A bigger shame also to those defending this failure no matter the offer!

Noted.

but that wasnt the bone of contention between the men.

the fake pastor tried to give an impression that it was a recently conducted exercise.

when in actual fact these stats were released when niger delta avengers were bombing their oil and gas resources which accounts for over 80 percent of nigeria's revenue.

so how where people supposed to keep their jobs in a recession with such bombings?

funny thing is that those who were clapping for the avengers are the first to complain about job losses.

the black man stinks honestly.

Player Reno AKA just got busted.

Pastor indeed.

That's how they ridicule Christianity.

Both are losers.

The disabled man for not pitying himself,

And


Cody for not pitying him.
