catch them young and groom them.
Omotola Ekeinde and Amarachi Nnwankwo are classical examples.

if the apples in the barren are rotten ,you pluck them fresh from the tree and forget about the barrel as long as they are ripe enough.

and what is the extra benefit of an eighteen years old dating or getting married to a 24 years old and not a 29 years old?
what ever happened to Love knows no bound afterall it is not illegal though it can be argued that it is immoral but that is only relative compared to our sisters in the north.

By the way,amarachi,,kanus wife is one hell of a fine babe and i think there is a thread about investment on ladies or something like that, that is one nice investment from kanu-financially or otherwise. when kanu is 40 years old, amarachi will just be warming up

[quote author=~Xerxes~ link=topic=141274.msg2361033#msg2361033 date=1213207451]29 Dating 18 year-old??
Blimey. . . . . this is not right!!!![/quote]Kanu married that pretty 18 years old girl so you never know

@ poster
No

if according to xerxes because united did the double only trophy winning players should make the euros, then whay are all those barca stars in the team? Barcelona won nothing for two years now. Marcus senna of villareal won nothing since i canremember. what of david sillva and david villa? raul won the league with real madrid but did not make the team.

and for cesc at 22 years old with 27 caps already is no joke.

My point is that if cesc wins the europeans championships with spain or van persie does the same with holland, that will be more memorable to them compared to any other trophy with the single exception of the world cup

clarence seedorf has won the uefa champios league three times. Thierry henry has won both the world cup and european championships with france. At the end of the day, who do you think feels more accomplished as a footballer?

Kanu is a champions league winner with 3 Fa cup titles and has won the dutch league and premier league . Twice named african player of the year but has never won the african cup of nations.

Na wa with all these cursing and name calling.
How typical of Nairalanders.

I think the commentator on bbc said xavi and iniestas partnership at barcelona was very key in leaving out fabregas. Another school of thought from moderators was that the coach could not play both xavi and cesc fabregas in a holding midfield role with the former preferred. \\Some even stipulated that he was injured ,jaded and all. Seniority has nothing to do with this.

Eric cantona never won champions league and barely featured for france and is one of the greatest man u players ever. So is dennis bergkamp and ronaldo the phenomenon-never won the champions league. These guys are great players but never won the champions league. On a brighter note, i will like to see david silva at arsenal. He looked quality today.David cilla looks chelsea material in terms of financial capability.

Xerxes has come again o.
Cesc is not highly rated in spain? 
Andersson is better than Iniesta?
Last i checked david villa's valencia was what position in the league last season and when did they last win anything?
Champions league is every year . Eurpean championship is once in four years.

Carrick, rooney,hagreaves and ferdinad will have to wait till 2012 till the next european championship while iniesta and xabi might easily have a shot at the UCL in a year or two.

You also say united players will easily walk into the starting 11 of spain because they won the UCL
Evra was on the bench for france!!!
I think ronaldo is the only united player that has started and completed a match and edwin van der sar
the world cup is the greatest, then the european championships for an european player then the champions league in that particular order at club level

In conclusion it will be remembered that scholes was great for united and won absolutely nothing for england at national level. Whether rooney et al will also emulate that path and become underachievers like the dutch and spanish national team, time will tell.

But look on the bright side, champions league winners is just for a year. European champions last four years

even Sigmund Freud asked the question: what do women want ?[i][/i]

@topic
have you ever thought of it that most ladies actaully want to be lead on?( i am not condoning it or encouraging it)
But most ladies want the ideal man that has this, has that,drives this ,wears that and most ladies are driven by this illusion and some guys can only match these illusions by giving a false impression thus leading her on?

Good Old fashioned love rare nowadays. Most ladies are not ready to start from scratch with guys and are only after finished products so they end up with guys who only appear to be finished but far from that and i think that is what distinguishes a boy from a man.

Just for clarification purposes can we get a clear description of a man or differences between actions of a man and a boy irrespective of age because it is getting all mixed up to me

cos everyone is saying man and boy interchangably like they are same

RedHotChic:
There are peculiar situations where a man is all over a woman and everything appears alright while he's busy creating a family on the other end. Men can be cats with nine lives.

and Vice-Versa

@topic I dont see why it has to be a guy that has to break off a relationship that is not working and not a lady. I still dont understand why ladies cannot stamp their foot and break off relationships that are going no where instead of hoping for a miracle only for a guy to do it and he is then labeled the devils advocate.

some relationships are doomed to fail,some will add to our experiience then fail while some lead to the altar. afterall if it is a guys role to ask a girl out  so it is only fair for a girl to break it off if she feels the prospects of such union is null. Unless of course,all ladies are happy with their relationships.

Two options:
First: If he has no money,tell him to take his broke a.s.s. home. In otherwords, even if he is broke,what are his prospects? if prospects are zero, then tell him what you feel and if it means letting him go so be it.

Second:You can be more dramatic and accept all his actions and hope he changes . you never know, you guys might make a good plot for a nollywood movie:THE PILLAR OF LOVE-part 1 and 2. Most important it is a good thing for one to be jealous but when one is envious then it becomes something else,

dating an aje butter is cool but breaking free from such relationship can be quite difficult. It is always good to be in a relationship that has a Get-away clause

smol:
if its not Italy, then its going to be France.
i pray that Ronaldo boy will pick up an injury that will last the next 3 years.

AMENNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN.

, to the first line.

If mutu has been ordered to pay a refund OF 9.8 MILLION , I THINK SHEVCHENKO SHOULD BE ORDERED TO PAY BACK AT LEAST 15 MILLION BACK FOR HIS MEAGRE PERFORMANCES. and adrian mutu should be added to this list:

vicade:
So perter kenyon signs players so that other teams don't get such players so what ever happened to all these prospective stars in the blue shirts all signed under the so called ROMAN ERA

[b]Andriy Shevchenko(used to be a great striker)
Claudio Pizarro(more interested in his horses than scoring goals)
Tiago (good player. why did he leave )
Mateja Kezman(was the new vanisteroy of the dutch league)
Ben Haim(boltons rock became meagre player)
Steve Sidwell(could not make it into arsenal reserves team)
Khalid Boularouz(THE SO CALLED CANNIBAL)
Geremi Njitap
S. W-Phillips(Used money to chase arsenal away-Thank GOD for that )
Alex(Alex of PSV is different from Alex of chelsea)
Mikel Obi (he used to be a very creative player but since joining the blues, he has become more of a rough player-guaranteed to recieve a yellow card )
Nicholas Anelka(recently he was sulking he should never have left arsenal and should have ended his career in arsenal)
Juan sebestian Veron(Man u's gift to chelsea)
Aiser del Horno
Scott Parker(was quite good wearing the number 7 at charlton)
Henrnan Crespo(Boy was good but could not settle down and was loaned out for 2 seasons)
Juliano Belleti(why buy a right back and still play essien as right back)
Florent Malouda(Depending on which period of the season you look at)[/b]
Adrian mutu(good player from parma,five goals in his first six matches. After that, he barely made the late night highlights show)[i][/i]

on a brighter note spurs just agreed a fee for dos santos. And they already have Modric. I guess i Liverpool and chelsea have to buckle up so as not to fall out of the super four with man city and everton also trying to make their mark.

Football is not mathematics.
Even if Man u buys another player outsie the premiership, he may not make an instant impact.
Some players take time to adapt to life in england and all that.Ronaldo replaced david beckham and if i remember correctly, that was the season they lost out to lille in the champions leage and lost out in the group stage(Not sure)

If ronaldo is leaving, i think signing berbatov from spurs is important cos of premiership experience. Barca will never release messi. Hatem ben arfa and Frank Ribery are also options. Ricard Quaresma blows hot and cold though he has the quality.Nani can also step up.

One love from a gunner

From VIVA!!! RONALDO to ADIOS RONALDO     

JUST KIDDING. i THINK HE SHOULD STAY AND I HOPE HE STAYS.
I would rather see lampard and drogba leave chelsea than R7 leave man u
One Love from a gunner

beckham, ruud van niesteroy and gabriel heinze might have left and man u survived but ronaldo is special and at 23 years old i think, Ronaldo has his best years ahead of him.
42 goals from midfield is not beans o

This thread needs arsenal and man u fans to put some life into it.
I feel this thread is as boring as the football chelsea plays.

wormedup:
vicade,

i'm sure if you looked real well you'll see your gaffer, wngay, has a lot more to answer than those shyte u posted up there.
draw a list on saint arse-in wengay and get back to me
meanwhile, compile wengay's trohpy haul in 12years and compare it to a 'stupid' jose's; let's see who's really working with the 'ARSE' !!!

Good thing you admit those players are flops in the blues jersey
As par mentioning arsene wengers CV and his eye for raw talent, that will be too long. It will probably take this thread to the level of man u and arsenals thread,
WELL OVER 500 PAGES

I MEANT IRIRI AIYE-That scary yoruba programmme.
Better still Nkanbe of Nairaland

WHAT IS SO ROMANTIC ABOUT THIS TOPIC NOW?
I am serious and i think seun should consider it so all those STRANGE BUT TRUE stories can have their own section

All these topics are taking the romance out of the romance section

i dont know if it is me but most of the topics on Nairaland nowadays are like Nollywood flicks with part 1,2,3. SO SO DRAMATIC.
Nevertheless, it could all be true then we can call it IRIRI AYE(Strange but true)

I conclude there should be a new section called IRIR AIYE(STRANGE BUT TRUE) SECTION ON NAIRALAND
