We had Ryan babel, kuyt,depay n b.traore bossing same Dutch league ki ni big deal?
Giroud, Ur long headed French C. Ronaldo nko, sissoko,sanogo, etc....nko?
Fact is, for every ruud,saurez ,drogba and hazard there are several giroud,babel,depay,sissoko etc to spoil the party.
Of course I totally agree! But since morning how come no one has been able to tell us why the same standards that helped drogba, zlatan and benzema leave france are now being denied to lacazette because lukaku is in the picture?
How come all of a sudden lacasera who has smashed in 20 goals plus for the past 4 seasons is now smashing them in an inferior league when his forefathers in striking were not held to the same standards? E no get as e be?
sod09: u see wetin u cos No wonder lana1 day come seek refuge for arsenal thread, u day try bro..
Too many mad pple here
Me sef don tire.....i dey chelsea thread since morning.....na to just post sweet news for my men them then wait till my mates for jogo bonito show na him better pass.....
raumdeuter: Then I will say you didnt see Drogba in Marseille
So it was his 1st and only season at Marseille that made him a risk worth taking? Because from 1998 till 2003(5 years) he made 109 appearances across 2 clubs and only scored 32 goals!
So based on your logic which season should lacazette or Belloti be signed on? Or let the blues keep waiting till they both have a "drogbaesque season?"
sod09: motherfucker.... Dose two are dere nd ur useless club is still sitting at 6th since last year, last month, dis year, dis month Must u always make urself look stupid, oponu apoda
elampiro: So that time Gaal told us Jones was injured, he was truly fit? My neighborhood friend was convinced that Jones was fit to play but Gaal gave him unnecessary extended time off just to keep playing Blind in central defence. And I argued with him that Jones was injured.
I actually think Blind cost us the 4th place finish last season with his lack of aerial ability, particularly when Gaal decided to play him in that decisive fixture against West Ham when he could have gone for Funso Mensah to help clear aerial balls. At the end West scored two from aerial balls with Blind directly responsible for not even jumping to cause an instruction to West Ham players. We missed the opportunity to overtake City that week with about two matches to go.
We can't say for sure because jones has always been injury prone because of the way he enters into challenges as well as his lack of natural fitness....he is even injured right now! Van gaal has _fucked off let us move on from blaming him....
donjazet: You're aware that in awarding the European golden shoe, there is a metric done via UEFA coefficients. While the top leagues are divided by 2. The French league is regarded as a weaker league and their coefficient is 1.5. This was why Zlatan couldn't win the golden shoe. Hazard wasn't bought for his goal scoring , it was more of his play making and creativity. How many strikers from the French league apart from Drogba have made their name elsewhere or gone on to be very successful ?
I don't even understand why you had to lump my post in with lordfalcaos own because I am just asking you a logical question! If drogba and BENZEMA/ZLATAN were successful why can't some other sap from the same league do the same? All that co efficient crap never matters once you get in front of goal!
I'm not a fan of the french ligue but i'm a fan of giving talent a platform to blossom! Everyone deserves a chance to prove they can chop it up in the big time...and you guys actually need strikers! Even us...
Belloti on the other hand might be cheaper, also plays as a winger, second striker and as a big bruising center forward, can dribble but is still not a supreme finisher although he is just 23! Personally he looks more suited to chelsea than lacazette! Playing for a small club and still getting goals who knows what he can become with stellar support around him?
SalamRushdie: Imagine 350m to honour a life time unrepentant thief ? Under Jonathan Ibori fled to exile but under a corruption fighting Buhari govt he is being celebrated with 350m party ...Who's is Buhari deceiving?
tolufase: As many commended Emir Sanusi for his timely statement on the Nigerian economy, others however, chose to focus on a particular statement he made which many see as "carrying weight" as it suggests something quite interesting.
Sanusi while delivering a lecture on Wednesday at the 15th meetings of the joint planning board and national council on development planning in Kano, titled ‘Nigeria in search of new growth model’, has made some shocking statements which attracted commendations from economic experts, but concern to ordinary Nigerians.
But we have created another set of millionaires since 2015 from foreign exchange.
He accused the Buhari led administration for indirectly following the path of recent administration on issues relating to financial fraud. He puts it as quoted below:
‘’We can always talk of the policies of the previous administration and we talk of oil subsidy and how it turned people into oil millionaires. But we have created another set of millionaires since 2015 from foreign exchange.
‘‘The people telling the government that if you devalue people will suffer are the ones benefiting presently. They bought the dollar at N179 and price their goods at N300.The poor pay the price of a devalued currency, the rich take the profit.
“You may not like it, but that is the truth. Any system that allows you, with one telephone call, to make N1bn without investing one kobo; the system is wrong,” Sanusi added.
Seems this guy's strength are in his instincts as well as his finishing! Also plays like a runner but I don't see him being an assist giver or even a hold up play kind of guy or the type that needs to be isolated up front on his own! This guy just gets goals!
elrony: Chaiiiiiiiii! All these our fine boys with mula wey full ground steady!

EmeeNaka: APC liars and cankerworms. Can anything truthful come out of their minds? Please someone should confirm before accepting this terrorism inspired lie.
"For whatever reason Van Gaal thought I needed to be fitter, I had no problem with that, I just played the games. I did what I could do to get back in the team and unfortunately it didn't really work out under him. No question there were thoughts about my future. It was in the back of my mind. If you are not playing games, that speaks volumes."
"I feel there have been only three managers who have every truly believed in me and understood me as a player, That's not being critical of other managers but the only three were Sam Allardyce, Sir Alex Ferguson and now Jose Mourinho. They have all given me belief and confidence. I am not one who needs to be patted on the back every single day and told I am brilliant. Some players need that, I don't. But those three certainly gave me confidence."
diggz: Benzema ke.....Burr Burr u guys are looking for a striker too Na....make manU buy am abeg we no want...
Benzema "the offside legend" would be a better fit for the gunners! Like them he is also a specialist in under achievement! We na pensioners we dey like!
When for 5 solid years they were all stealing all kinds of money from nigeria due to the foolishness and support of ebeles government they were all as strong as the hulk! Now that they are being nabbed all of them are developing cancer featuring a.i.d.s!
