Abeg make we hear word jor . One year or no one year eto'o is not currently worth 5 million euros. Ibra is a disgrace and a fraud. Wot other word can I use for a supposed top class striker who at 27 soon to be 28 years old has only just passed the 20 goal a season benchmark. |

dayokanu:thank u jare. Let them keep spittting out their dummies and giving crazy excuses why ibra is a failure. May i also add that at ajax dis guy bottled it in da champions league. Before u guys say its only ajax pls check out da list of players he had as his teamates. Finally as dk pointed out why do ppl think eto'o is older than ibra. Both were born in the year 1981 with the only difference being that eto'o birth month is march while ibra is october making him only 6 months older. Ibra is a choker and only started to shine in serie a when it became weaker league. |

Why Ibrahimovic is ace Here's an analysts take on Ibra's move. . . . he does have some valid points there!? what do you think ![]() |

@Ruudie Etoo has scored against all the big teams he played against Chelsea, Arsenal, Man Utd, Real Madrid, Lyon, Bayern, AC Milan all conceded to Etoo I need just two big teams in the CL that Zlatan has scored against Just two ok start from one. Thats what the media from soccernet to bbc have to write about Zlatans performance in BIG games |

i really hope Barca live to regret this they have done. Ibraca is no better than Eto'o and he(IB) is also injured. Can't believe they lost 40m and their prolific goal scorer. What was Barca thinking?! dayokanu: really happy to see that, DK is improving |

La Liga is more competitive than both EPL and Serie A. The margin between the top teams and the bottoms teams are much less. looking at the point spread EPL: Winner 90pts 4th 72pts Relegation 34pts La Liga Winner 87 pts 4th 67pts Relegation 42pts Serie A Winner 84 pts 4th 68pts Relegation 33pts La Liga is the only one where you get relegated with 40+pts |
Re: The 2009 Summer Football Transfer Thread(Bayern £22m Robben, Inter £13m Sneijdr) by Phony200(m): 5:56pm On Jul 28, 2009 |
Biina, that's so suprising. 42pts? 2 questions; Is that for the team bottom of the league and how does that statistic compare over the last 5 seasons? |
Re: The 2009 Summer Football Transfer Thread(Bayern £22m Robben, Inter £13m Sneijdr) by biina: 6:08pm On Jul 28, 2009 |
Thats for the highest of the 3 relegated teams. Often the guy at the bottom is decided very early in the season and usually stops fighting the coming relegation. The highest of the relegated teams puts in his best for the better part of the season and is often not decided until the last matchday and thus it is a better measure of the quality of teams that get relegated. For La Liga in the past 5 seasons 2008/09: 42pts 2007/08: 42pts 2006/07: 39pts 2005/06: 39pts 2004/05: 37pts In the same time span, the highest number of points for a relegated team in the EPL was 38pts. Add the fact that EPL champions often have 90+pts while La Liga winners are usually in the 80s and one can see that the margin between top and bottom is much less in La Liga when comapred to EPL and thus the league is more competitive. |
Re: The 2009 Summer Football Transfer Thread(Bayern £22m Robben, Inter £13m Sneijdr) by RuuDie(m): 7:13pm On Jul 28, 2009 |
@ personally I think Ibra is grossly over-rated and that Barca are sorta short-changed from this deal and I also feel badly for Eto'o. . . . but that guy who wrote that article did score a few points sha. Anyways, I want RM to cop La Liga just to rub shyte in Barca's face! |
Re: The 2009 Summer Football Transfer Thread(Bayern £22m Robben, Inter £13m Sneijdr) by biina: 7:38pm On Jul 28, 2009 |
That article is BS. It didnt compare Ibra to Eto'o, which was the relevant comparism but rather compared Ibra to selected players in selected areas. - The fact that eto'o scored and Barca put two past the full ManU defence in one game, while Ibra and Inter couldnt score against their depleted versions over two legs shows the difference in attacking power of the players and the clubs. - He talks about eto'o's bust up with pepe in January but forgot that Pep had tried to sell samuel the prior summer and the relationship had been poor from the word go. Pep fired the first Salvo, not eto'o Yet he forgot to mention Ibra issues like his allegedly hurting Ajax team mate VDV intentionally, his '70M euros Madrid bid' publicity stunt, his forceful extrication from juventus, and his high wage demands at inter. - He never rebutted that Ibra has never performed on the big stage annd only tried to excuse it by making comaprisms to other players. Barca got rimmed, and it is as simple as that. |
Re: The 2009 Summer Football Transfer Thread(Bayern £22m Robben, Inter £13m Sneijdr) by hustler(m): 7:47pm On Jul 28, 2009 |
Like i've been saying for some time now, lets wait and see. Ibra did it almost by himself at Inter. When you look at the telepathic partnerships he had with players there, it was almost non-existent, save for Maicon on rare occassions. Now surrounded by Xavi,Iniesta,Messi and Henry, somebody is insinuating that he will flop. Time will tell. Looking at his early Serie A career. we can say that he didn't really kick off his goal scoring exploits with consistency but he won best serie a foreign footballer in his first season when he netted 16 goals, His quality and all round play was enough for Capello to send Del Piero to the bench for the most part as he preferred pairing Ibra and Trez whenever Trez was available. His assists record tells the rest of the story and his goal against Roma away when he practically ruined Kuffour's career summarizes his season for me in 06. 15 goals,17 goals and then 25 goals in his 3 seasons at Inter sure shows progression and his development into a prolific goal scorer and the standard of a number of his goals were of the highest quality. Say what you want , i have no doubt Ibra will shame his critics while playing at Barca. Some body said he didnt know what Ibra would add to Barca that they didnt have with Eto. If you watch the games against Chelsea and Man u carefully in 2009 and 2008 semi final UCL respectively u would understand what he would add to the team. YES in the big games he has flopped big time, however if he continues this trend at Barca with the quality of players he is surrounded by now, i will be the first to admit that i know not a thing about football. Ibra carried Inter alone at his time there and it was practically a one man team. Come on the guy deserves plaudits for what he did there particularly. At Barca he now has the chance to win more titles, score more goals and win higher accolades ( Ballon D'or on the horizon). He knows this. |

Official: Benfica Sign Barcelona Striker Keirrison On Loan The Portuguese club have secured the services of the Brazilian striker on a season-long deal. Keirrison had been tipped to leave Barcelona on loan as the Catalan club were interested in having the player gain football experience elsewhere before giving him a chance at the Camp Nou. Benfica have now issued a statement to the Portuguese stock market in which they confirm a compromise has been reached with Barcelona to sign the 20-year-old on a season-long deal, with the option for another year. According to news daily A BOLA, Keirrison is already flying to Lisbon and could be presented before the end of the day. The former Palmeiras man is Benfica's third striking reinforcement this summer, following the arrivals of Javier Saviola and Weldon. ![]() http://www.goal.com/en-us/news/1956/europe/2009/07/28/1409117/official-benfica-sign-barcelona-striker-keirrison-on-loan |

oh come off it hustler stop blabbing. Ibra did not ruin kuffour's career because by the time he left munich his career was in decline. My grand ma also makes assisits does that make her a better footballer . Pls stop with the excuses u keep giving. The only coincidence i see is that as serie a is getting weaker ibrahimovic's goal per game ratio is getting better. As for winning the ballon d'or, a dead man has a far better chance of winning it. |
Re: The 2009 Summer Football Transfer Thread(Bayern £22m Robben, Inter £13m Sneijdr) by chic2pimp(m): 2:25am On Jul 29, 2009 |
as u lot seem to attribute every one of samu's sucess to the ability of his teammates, i have also decided to do the same with ibrahimovic next season. No mattter how he well performs, i have already made up my mind that it is now done to his ability rather he has his teamates to thank for his sucess. |
Re: The 2009 Summer Football Transfer Thread(Bayern £22m Robben, Inter £13m Sneijdr) by RuuDie(m): 6:10am On Jul 29, 2009 |
biina: I quite agree about a lot of this stuffs of you've said. . . . hustler: While not saying Ibra will definitely flop. . . . but just assuming he'll hit it right off with the others simply is a wee off mark - Berbatov is a fantastic player but he just didn't play at the max we all know he has the potential for. I'm thinking Ibra's start might be something similar! I'm just pissed about the Pep has treated Eto'o. . . . if it was a straight sale to some other club, it would be easier to take but such a swap sort'a feels like a slap to a player's face - remember RM's offer of Robinho + cash to UTD for CR7. . . . |
Re: The 2009 Summer Football Transfer Thread(Bayern £22m Robben, Inter £13m Sneijdr) by RuuDie(m): 6:13am On Jul 29, 2009 |
chic2pimp: . . . . thats grossly untrue; Eto'o was king at Mallorca and was doing the business well enough without an abundance of assisting talents - even if he hadn't moved to Barca, it was only a matter of time before Europe's biggest clubs came calling for his signature! |

The seasons Ibra shined were the downturn of the seria A. Since 2007 when Juve was demoted and all other teams had points deducted that marked the downturn of the Serie A. Milan simply focused on the CL and left Inter with the Serie A. Milan has since then been content with coming 4th and playing CL while Inter were flopping all over. Last season with Ibra calling the shots at Inter, They scrapped to qualifywinning only 2 games in a group of Anathosis, Bremen and Panathinaikos losing to bremen Pana(at San Siro) drawing Famagusta 2008 they were humbled by Liverpool Home and away with Ibra blowing away chances like there was no tomorrow. In 2007 where was Ibra when Bayern was humiliating Inter at San Siro before Valencia booted Ibra and co out. His quality and all round play was enough for Capello to send Del Piero to the bench for the most part as he preferred pairing Ibra and Trez whenever Trez was available. His assists record tells the rest of the story and his goal against Roma away when he practically ruined Kuffour's career summarizes his season for me in 06. You mean a Kuffour that was way past his prime? prolific goal scorer and the standard of a number of his goals were of the highest quality. The same quality that made a support striker score 7 goals in 35 games ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() |

RuuDie:Ruddie as u can tell through reading my posts i have no problem with u and dayokanu as the two of u usually back up your statements with facts not sentiments. Leo messi had his best game against an english team in the cl finals. In my opinion the reason was because eto'o played right wing. He allowed messi to roam about linking up with xavi and iniesta thereby creating havoc. If u think ibra has the discipline not only to play wing effectively but also track back u are in cuckoo land. |

Barcelona’s Aliaksandr Hleb Close To Stuttgart Loan Aliaksandr Hleb had been included in the Samuel Eto'o-Zlatan Ibrahimovic swap deal between Barcelona and Inter Milan, but he has turned down the opportunity to represent the Italian champions, according to the latest reports. It is understood that he prefers to team up with Stuttgart, where he spent five years from 2000-2005 before signing for Arsenal. According to Sport, Barcelona have agreed to loan Hleb out to Stuttgart, with the Belarus international expected to undergo a medical this afternoon. Meanwhile, it is reported that Barcelona will pay Inter an additional €4.5 million for Ibrahimovic as Hleb is no longer included in the deal. ![]() http://www.goal.com/en-india/news/222/transfer-zone/2009/07/29/1410694/barcelonas-aliaksandr-hleb-close-to-stuttgart-loan-report The failings of a wannabe.

@ dayokanu No need to drag this argument any further, cuz i know with you we could argue on this for weeks (lol) Lets leave it at that for now and wait to see how Ibra performs in his first 2 seasons. Against big and small teams.First Round, Secound Round, 100th round of the UCL. It's just that it has become obvious that many people who have castigated Ibra on Nairaland are those that have not had the opportunity of seeing him play on a regular basis. At most they read about him on Complete Sports (lol) or watch some highlights on Goalissimo. At least the La Liga has a wider coverage than the serie a in Nigeria especially the big teams. And Please the downturn in serie a is only temporary and should start to subside this coming season. Watch out for a competitive Juventus and Inter will be firing all cylinders too cuz Mourinho knows he has to perform or get sacked.Milan, well it will take a miracle from what i've seen in our pre season, but we do have some exciting world class talent. Two great champions have left (kaka,Ibra) two others have arrived (Eto'o, Diego) Javier Pastore in the making. Many more are still in serie a but are spread to many other average teams, Lavezzi,Hamsik,Cassano e.t.c unlike the premiership where it is concentrated in the top 4, Serie A will come alive again this season, U just watch. |

OFFICIAL: Elano Leaves Manchester City For Galatasaray Elano has quit Manchester City to join Galatasary, the Turkish club has confirmed. Italian rivals AC Milan and Inter were believed to be interested in the player, but Sky Sports News is reporting the Brazilian international to have made the move for a fee believed to be close to €9.5 million (£8m). The news has been confirmed by Galatasaray's official website, which pictures the creative middle-man on its front page. "Brazilian national football team player Elano Blumer (27) has signed a four-year contract with Galatasaray after playing at Manchester City for two years," a brief statement read on the club site. The Citizens have started to reduce their squad size, and Elano becomes the fourth player to leave after a slew of purchases this summer. Gareth Barry, Roque Santa Cruz, Carlos Tevez, Emmanuel Adebayor and now Kolo Toure have all arrived at Eastlands. Ched Evans has been sold to Championship outfit Sheffield United, while Valeri Bojinov and Felipe Caicedo have made loan switches to Parma and Sporting CP respectively. ![]() http://goal.com/en/news/9/england/2009/07/30/1411925/official-elano-leaves-manchester-city-for-galatasaray Talented player but failed to deliver consistently.

Newcastle United Accept Wolfsburg Bid For Obafemi Martins - Report Newcastle United have tonight accepted a bid from German side Wolfsburg for striker Obafemi Martins. Sky Sports News reports that the fee agreed between the clubs is €10.5 million. Die Wolfe manager Armin Veh had recently voiced his admiration for the Nigerian striker, with the German boss admitting that 'Oba' was on his list of possible targets. "We have two tall strikers in Edin Dzeko and Grafite and they both play pretty much centrally," he told the Wolfsburger Allgemeine Zeitung. "Therefore, we are looking for a player who can combine with them both, [someone] who can come in from out wide." Martins himself has claimed that he feels the Bundesliga will soon become the best football league in the world. However, it may be difficult for the striker to find first team starts if Wolfsburg's star double-act remain with the club. If Martins arrives at the Volkswagen-Arena then he could well serve as third choice behind last season's hit duo of Edin Dzeko and Grafite. But with both players, Dzeko in particular, being linked with a host of clubs this summer, there are some rumblings within Germany that Martins could in fact serve as one's replacement. AC Milan have already failed in their attempt to land Dzeko but this news may see them spurred on to make a new attempt, while Premier League clubs such as Arsenal will also look on with interest. ![]() http://goal.com/en/news/9/england/2009/07/29/1411238/newcastle-united-accept-wolfsburg-bid-for-obafemi-martins |

i've being watching serie a since the early nineties and i must say if milan wins the scudetto this season , serie a is in more trouble than I thought it was in. Juve would run inter close though or even win it. They have bought well and sensibly. Diego is pure class. |
