Baba, no player is indispensable and definitely not Osimhen. If they get offered the right amount they'll offload him quickly.

True.

Last year, Inter Milan made it clear that Lukaku was not for sale numerous times. But Chelsea forced their hand by offering them an amount that is too big to be turned down. They let him go eventually.

Not every club is PSG. Even Man Utd faced the same thing in 2009, when they got offered 80m for Ronaldo. A big money at the time. They had to accept it , despite it being against the wishes of Sir Alex Ferguson. Because he never want Ronaldo to be sold then.

It's one of the reasons why Man Utd fans hated the Glazers then.

Next week you'll see Manuel Macron running to beg Putin in kremlin.
Few months from now most eu states will call back their sanctions, uncle Sam isn't feeding them

Albeit silently.

The influx of arms from US alone to Ukraine in the name of humanitarian supplies, is enough to cause instability in the whole of Europe.


US is hypocritic!!!

It will cause instability very soon.

Even UK that feels it's on an island will also feel the heat.

After the war is over, a lot of hungry Ukrainian will sell their weapons for cheap. Different criminal groups in Europe will buy cheap rifles and Europe that's not know for having weapons I. circulation will turn to another USA , where weapons are cheap to aquire

franchasng:
Military experts that have studied Russia and have collaborated with Russian army for years are saying Putin can't order use of nuclear weapon should NATO step in cos it will mean an end to Russia, so to what end? To please one man Putin? Some are saying such orders from Putin won't be carried out cos the army commanders know the huge consequences.


Meanwhile, if NATO had intervened militarily, Putin would have called for dialogue cos if he escalates, it means bombs and missiles will be dropping in Russian cities which will open his secrets to Russians he had been deceiving that there is no war going on in Ukraine. It will expose his deceit and cause Russians to revolt against him because they will know Putin just want to destroy the whole Russia for a needless war to massage his balls.



US President failed Ukrainians.


In 1994, US convinced Ukraine to hand over all their nuclear warheads to Russia, promising to protect them against any external aggression, even Russia promised never to invade Ukraine should Ukraine hand over their nukes to Russia. They deceived Ukraine.



If Ukraine had their nukes today, Russia wont dare invade them.


All Biden needed to do is to remind Russia of their agreement and the US promise to Ukraine in 1994 and that would back US to intervene militarily together with NATO.


Joe Biden is a coward, he allowed Putin’s empty barkings to intimidate him.



Joe Biden have bartered US image starting from his last year's sudden withdrawal of US army from Afghanistan leaving behind sophisticated US munitions for Taliban

Those nukes were useless to Ukraine and they cannot effectively use them because the nuclear launch codes belonged to Russia and only Moscow is in possession of the Launch codes.

Maintaining them is another challenge that Ukraine of that period could not handle due to huge cost.

How is the west losing it?
They should sanction india

Undermining Russia as if it's some some small country with little importance was the first mistake from the west and it could be potentially what will lay the foundation for the decentralization of their power in closest future.

They didn't treat Russia as an equal and they continue to undermine it's security concerns.
The west are still arrogant and towing the same path with China. This is probably what be the final nail in the coffin , as regards the diminishing influence of the West.

chronique:
Russia is too big and strategic a country to isolate. No matter how much support you galvanize against them, you can never totally isolate them.

The first mistake that the guys at the white house made was treating Russia like some small country on the map with little to no strategic resource of importance, like North Korea.

engrelvis:
So man utd just abandoned Mason Greenwood to his faith?

In public? Yes, for obvious PR reasons. Any club would do the same.

In private, underground? we don't know anything for sure, and I doubt they will let us know, for obvious PR reasons as well

The fact that he hasn't been charged with any crime for weeks now might suggest they might be working tirelessly under the table to help

powerblaze:
Well Russia is not stupid. That's why its foolish for people to expect Russia to launch a full assault on Ukraine.
Even the media is trying hard to goad Russia into using more firepower, but they know all of them are waiting eagerly to see their modern weapons and steal important data.
The missile hit on Ukraine military base recently shocked the west, cos the missiles were detected, but couldn't be stopped. All of them hit their target.

That's how USA stole missile weaponry from Germany in WW2 and used to make their own.

Yep.

The legendary V1 and V2 rockets, used by Hitler to bomb London

It was the inventions of the German V rockets that gave birth to the Space travel industry we have today

Adjovi:
Where this same energy when NATO evaded Iraq and Libya? Where they not sovereign nations? Don't come at me with that's in the past and does not make Russias invasion right rhetorics.

@Bolded

They moved on from calling the comparison "Whataboutism" , after people called out their bullsh*t over the past week,

They are now using that line now

thundafire:
Ignorance at it's peak u forgot US have submarines bases fitted with classified amount of nuclear warheads around the world and very close to Russia

It's like the Akula class submarines owned by Russia doesn't exist too

baralatie:
I was dumbfounded that Putin actually invaded against all begging

It's one of the reasons why NATO have refused to respond militarily. They dared him to invade, and he did. So that's why they are taking his Nuclear response threat seriously afterwards if they decide to put booths in the ground in Ukraine.

After everything. Russia is working on the bigger picture of making the west to take Russia's security concerns seriously, because obviously the west used to see Russia as all talks no action.

Russia will suffer the immediate sanctions effect but they will gain much more at the end.

SlyfoxxjReturns:
Hmmmm ballistic missile wey get anti anti-ballistic missile defense. Russia I hail o.

Crazy and ingenious stuff

SweetiliciousD:
...At all

They want his country to be a testing ground for their warheads.

It already is. Russia is now using them to test their latest missile system and see how it can evade real missile defense system in battle situations. I'm sure the Russian weapons designers will be getting feedback data and adjust accordingly.

So in essence, Ukraine has become a testing ground for latest weapons, the way USA usually use the middle east to test their weapons. It will only get bad for Ukraine from here, unfortunately

FunkyAlhaji2015:
Cost of production around the world has triple because of the rising cost of energy. Russia is no longer pumping it's 9million barrel and it's gas into the market. Oil is now selling at 140 dollar per barrel, it is projected to hit 200 dollars in the coming weeks. America is experiencing it's worst inflation figures in 40 years. Every soon there will job loses and food shortage. You can mess with Russia or Saudi Arabia, they will crumble the global economy with their oil.

True. There's a reason USA usually pet Saudi Arabia and let them have their way, despite being worse than Russia in terms of human right abuses and every atrocities you can think of. You mess with Saudi , Oil price jumps up

Invitationn:
Abi o.
They dared Putin. They wanted to test his resolve.
Sometimes things like these are needed to know all parties real intensions and stance.
All party made a lot of mistakes and miscalculations; The West thought Putin won't invade. Putin thought Zelensky was a comedian and the invasion was going to be a walk in the park. He expected sanctions but not this much.
Ukraine thought the West will intervene directly.
The West thought Sanctions will make Putin withdraw etc.

I hope sanity prevails soon.

You're the only one that captured the whole scenario among the three parties involved

gbadexy:
Na another propaganda be that to encourage more teenagers to join willingly.
Propaganda is part of war sha.

Exactly, the western media has successfully brainwashed people that this 18 ye olds joined the fight willingly when they were literarily conscripted by force. I'm sure those boys will rather be playing Xbox right now

FreeIgboho:
What’s wrong with German? Is it such a terrible language? We are speaking English instead - same thing

Sincerely, no difference. We are all speaking English today, because UK/USA won the war. I'm sure if Germany had win, we'll all be speaking German too today.

Whether , Britain/America or Germany, one thing is common to all of them, they are all Racists pigs who only see Africa as nothing but a place to exploit for raw materials. So our life as Africans might not have been that much different if Germany had won the war. They are all colonialist who divided African among themselves at a Berlin conference in the 1880s

Shoodboi:
Russia has been making threats for over 20 years and it appears NATO has gotten used to them being just threats.

This issue has been going on for longer than many of us think.

Russia was going to invade sooner or later.

True. Russia had to make good, on one of those threats some day so as to keep NATO on their toes and take them seriously.

Even, the Ukrainian comedian was doubting Intel at first and took Russia full invasion as just one of those empty Russian threats like in the past.

LordVarys1:
unfortunately they have no choice than to invest in foreign country. Would have advised them to invest in a struggling economy like that of Russia? The world is a global village, nobody can do business alone, you must involve every other persons in other countries. That is how it is and ut will continue to be like that.

Even prosperous China still need UK , US and EU vice versa.

The more Russia is isolated, the more their economy will continue to crash and before you know it, his people will rise.

It has always being like this and it will continue to be like this. Its a world order

There's nothing like Isolation per say. No country is isolated from doing Int'l trade.

The difference is that they are closing Russia open market for Int'l trade.The other market (Black market ) will always be open.

Femi8586:
The aim of NATO is to turn Putin's people against him.
Once his people are severely suffering because of him, they will hate him automatically and that marks the beginning of his downfall.

NATOs are very good manipulators. Putin foolishly played into their trap.

What NATO and the west is doing is a gamble though.

It's a 50-50 thing.

Putin's people can hate him for bringing suffering on them,. They can also hate the west for bringing suffering on them, thereby supporting Putin and enduring whatever economic hardship that comes.

Remember even people in the west are not currently protesting the high cost of gas and inflation presently because they are being conditioned that Putin is the cause, which is not true. High inflation and high gas prices has been happening since last year November even before Putin Invaded Ukraine.
Who says Putin and his local media cant condition his own people via his local media that the west is also the cause of their own hardship?


There's no guarantees bro.

The last time I checked, No country being heavily sanctioned in the last decade has revolted against their government. The government of those country somehow have successfully managed their people. So the chances of this succeeding too is low

TheGoodJoe:
Use the same parameter to explain Sancho. A coach can only appeal. After that, it is up to the player. Foden would have left for s better deal earlier in his career and more playing time. He chose to wait. Nacho and Sancho did not want to wait. They wanted a chance of more playing time and better payment packages.

Fair enough.

komekn:
It ts very simplistic.

If be a club wants you they will not sell you, if he they value you be they will even pay more to keep you.

Look at Saka at Arsenal already talking contract extension.

Fact

Bernardo Silva wasn't happy with his game time last season. He pushed for a move in the beginning of the season, with some clubs already bidding for him sef. But the club , as well as Guardiola refuse to let him go and Guardiola eventually convinced him to stay. Why is that?. It is because Guardiola values him and now look at what he's doing in the team this season.

If the club and/or coach values a player's contribution in a team, they will always make sure the player stays, no matter the amount of bids that comes in for the player. The club can even go as far as giving him a new upgraded contract just to convince such player

Truvelisback:
U can't jail a U.S citizen even If he commits a crime. The U.S would be the one to jail him. That's why they are the world power. Since the U.S became the World Power, Have u ever heard that any U.S citizen committed a crime in another country and was jailed by the country?

Yes,

Russia.

Elsueno:
Europe would spent years fighting gun, gang violence & NAzi( terrorists) after dis conflict blows over...Those weapons aren't gonna disappear into thin air. Even Russia would tatse am small, plus us for Africa too

After this conflicts end, Europe will bear major brunt of this weapon's polifiration in Ukraine because they are the closest, Just like West Africa bear the Libya crisis brunt.

Guns will become very cheap for criminals to aquire in Europe. All those knife attacks in UK will be upgraded into gun violence and shooting.

Now I see the reason why countries like France and Germany are running over the place to prevent am escalation and settle the issue before it drags for too long. But it's obvious that it's USA that's pulling all the strings because Zelensky will only negotiate whenever USA asks him to

Dirkcoyt:
It could be putin is trying to unsettle the EU . He knows bringing in the middle eastern volunteers will scare the shit of the EU cause of their radical ideologies which could further lead to terrorism and destabilization of the EU . Cause after the war there will be several middle eastern fighters that will be scattered everywhere in EU with guns in their hands that’s a very big mess EU wouldn’t want ! More reason EU won’t take in middle eastern volunteers ! Just imagine putin bringing in the talibans of Afghanistan in large groups into EU ahhhhh!

We hope and pray both parties suspend this war for humanity sake cause it seems putin doesn’t care how long it goes as I read EU officials saying they’ve run out of sanctions

Probably that's Putin's plan B. Create an insurgency for EU to deal with for years to come

A smart leader. At least sweeden is prosperous economically because they align with Europe economically and not militarily, which was what that daft Zelensky should have pursue. 9

This inter milan player wearing jersey number 2 is a very poor player also this game needs Dzeko.

The guy's shitty game just stands out in that team like a sore thumb

Osilama1:
the Ukrainian started it ist see why sports Bodies should stand neutral is cos of issues like this

When they started Mixing activism with Sports , it was only a matter of time before real political issues like this Ukraine saga starts creeping in. Because sometimes, activism and Politics are separated by a very thin line. You won't know when you'll start to mix the two when you're not careful.

Now in present day sports, it seems that thin line has been cut, and both are now mixing now.

Very soon in the future, sporting organizations will start splitting and having factions who align with different political ideology because some people will feel marginalized and start their own thing separately.

maticar:
Yea a German can as well wear the Nazi swastika on the podium

At the rate at which sports organization are going by mixing Politics with Sports, A German might as well do that and will successfully defend himself in court using the precedence they've set as a means to defend himself.

Those idiots just opened Pandora's box out of emotion without carefully thinking about the consequence in future

CapitalCee:
Mourinho promoted Mctominay does not mean he should be a first team. Fergie promoted Gibson, Cleverly, Macheda, Evans, Welbeck etc

Exactly and none of them were first choice , except Cleverly and Maybe Evans who only plays when one of the Ageing Ferdinand or Vidic is injured.

They were all rotation players. Mctominay never played as first choice under Mourinho, the way Greenwood plays regularly under Ole, in comparison. He was just used to fill up the squad

Ellexy:
Ok I get you now. We should leave Mourinho who signed Fred and promoted McTominay but drag Ole to the Hague for using the same players. That's wonderful.

Also Ole signed Maguire [who Mourinho insulted the whole club for not signing] and AWB but Woodward and not Mourinho signed Fred and probably Bailly too.

Well, Maguire is Mourinhos type of defender and will work well in his system because he won't play a high line or be required to play in a pressing system. The time Maguire did well we conceeded less goals was when we were playing counter attacking style of just soaking pressure and hitting teams in the counter.

All Mourinhos signing were to play his system. I remember him also wanting to sign Peresic to optimize Lukaku, because Perisic is a proper winger who can cross and also track back to defend just like Ashley Young. Young and Perisic on both wings , and Mourinho could have won us the league the following season . Instead they blocked the deal because it involved selling their star boy Martial, who Mourinho never needed and bought Fred that Mourinho doesn't need just because Fred was about to sign for Man City.

Foolish Woodward.

Ellexy:
So which manager gave us the duo?

Ole gave us McFred.

The last time I checked, Fred nevér played under Mourinho because he was shit. We had Herrera, Matic and Pogba under Mourinho. Even Mctominay played more games than Fred under Mourinho.

McFred became a thing under Ole after Herrera left
