To those in the know - how come the club is able to pay 100 million for our Ukrainian brother but refused to pay 120 for Enzo?
Is there some structuring, accounting gimmicks or something else to it?

It's two different scenarios.
We pay £62 million for mudryk which will be spread to 8.5 years of his contract in FFP making it £7.5 million roughly yearly.

But in the case of Enzo benfica is hell-bent on release clause of £107 million which will not be spread over the length of his contract because it's release clause.

Same thing happened to PSG when they triggered Neymar release clause and have to take mbappe on loan before paying the following season.

No!! I didn't say no team on earth can equalize.
I said no team can equalize this Argentine side and then go on to win them in this world cup.
Bro with what happened yesterday, going forward in this world cup, if Argentina scores first again, it's all over.

They will never make that mistake again.

Bro don't change it.
You actually said that. The are organise defensively but you brag and overate them on that. This is you below:

OhBritannia:
This world cup final will either be Argentina vs Germany or Argentina vs Brazil and Argentina will win by 2 goals to 1 or 1 goal to nothing.

Messi will score at the dying minutes as he did yesterday and that will be the end of the game.
No team on earth will equalize this Argentine side if they score you first as from round of sixteen.

I know what i am saying, they will just be winning with 1 goals till they win the world cup.
Mark my words, they have the deadliest defenders In history of football, forget what you saw in this group stage, it's because of the loss against Saudi that affected them but as from round of sixteen, This Argentine side won't concede a goal ever again.

OhBritannia:
Lol the statement i made in this thread few days ago will now come to play.

I remember i told someone that no team on earth can equalize and score this current Argentine side and the person was still arguing with me.

Lol just watch and see how the game will end.

That one na toss up because

1. Croatia keeper is no slouch on pens either

2. Croatia players must spend half their training session practicing penalties because every single tournament dem must play 3 shootout

Another thing, Martinez showed his nyash on the fourth Dutch penalty. His biggest strength is also his biggest weakness, he goes too early to gain an advantage, and the Dutch player sent him to the shops with a small stutter. Even the Dutch player was surprised say Martinez done already dive cos he wasn't planning a stutter penalty. When he saw Martinez done already loss, it was like Martinez made up his mind for him to roll it the other way

So to face Martinez, either play down the middle or stutter cos Martinez go dive before you even finish run up. And na team like Croatia go study these Kain things in detail

You are so on point.

OhBritannia:
My greatest joy is that Argentina has learnt a proper lesson with this match.
Never to lose focus even when it feels like the game is almost over..

Secondly!!! It's time to unleash Di Maria and dybala.

All those your talk of no team on earth can ever equalise them don fade?

Your observations is spot on but you are just too over confident about it.
Football no be mathematics.

StarchAndBanga:


U dey fear to call Andrewbaba44 name abi wetin

I no mention anybody name o.

Liversalt can cry three days nonstop if I mention am.

andrewbaba44:


Barcelona have players in all these teams ,I never mentioned England ,but your sense no go tell you this one because body Dey pepper you since I humble you

Club football is not national team ,Argentine was my number 1 team

Stop giving yourself headache for my matter

Rest

Andrewliversalt I never mention your name now.

Why are insecure?

Btw when did you humble me abeg?

He dey support Brazil, Spain, Argentina, France, stylishly Netherland too even England to win world cup.
Who go win am before if not one of these nations.

Inter Milan and Bayern don teach the werey force humbleness.

Werey pack all the favorite.

andrewbaba44:


Maybe Thiago Silva and casemiro are forward players

Smh

Maybe you should go back to the wrong comment you made and make amendment.

Or is Tite only coaching Brazilian forwards?

andrewbaba44:


Yeah we saw the brace poco lee scored against Cameroon

Useless ajegunle alanta dancer

After neymar for tite system ,the next player is raphinha

andrewbaba44:


For tite system it’s raphinha

Man has been starting for Brazil at Leeds united ,that should tell you alot

For the past 1 year no forward aside neymar have more G/A than raphinha

Raphinha has scored 5 goal for Brazil and Vinicius is just scoring his second after playing more games than raphina

He is not a better player than vini ,but you see that Brazil team leave am

What concern Vini in all this.
You just create a senario in your head and you are giving me Vini stat vs raphinha, are there only attackers in the team?
Did I mention Vini being ahead of him?

Quit the delusion, Raphinha is behind Thiago Silva, Casemiro in pecking order for Brazil.

andrewbaba44:


Yeah we saw the brace poco lee scored against Cameroon

Useless ajegunle alanta dancer

After neymar for tite system ,the next player is raphinha

Andrew take am easy now.
We both know after Neymar it's not raphinha now.

Honestly this guy is good.
He was portray as only a poacher.

Parizz:
na nta you dey watch

who be this one?
You can table your proof to debunk any of what I wrote there.

As for the offside calls.
Check the imagea below?

Or are you telling me those are marginal offside?

Bombblacks:


On another day, Argentina would have won this game comfortably. Martinez had a goal ruled offside because his shoulder was offside by an inch. Messi had a goal ruled offside because he was like half a foot offside. And Martinez also had another one ruled offside due to being a foot offside. As I said, on another day, Saudi Arabia get that line wrong, and if Messi and Martinez time those runs better, they score 2 or 3 goals from that. Their goalkeeper also made a few good saves. They had a few knocked off the line. Also, on another day, those 2 goals don't go in; one went right through Romero's legs, and the other one.... took a deflection, which Martinez would normally save.

Not saying Saudi Arabia didn't work hard or put effort but on another day, they get hammered badly. Things went for them today.
I honestly expect Argentina will beat Poland and Mexico quite comfortably.

You just dey cap effortlessly.
Messi is half foot offside? Haaa fear God o
Martinez is also a whole body ahead of the last Saudi player for that Messi pass.
Those offside were not close at all bar Martinez first goal.

And Saudi did not clear any ball off the line; the only one that happen was blown for foul.

And Saudi Arabia second goal did not deflect on anybody.

At this point I don't think you watch the match self.

2 times winner sef
Anything Europa history no too drag with our senior executive cowboys, them be our Oga for there

In recent memory we only played Europa league twice and we show we are above that level by beating the team there blue black and winning it those two occasions and Barca have been there twice also but instead of winning it your Barca was dismantled by a team outside top 6 in bundesliga.
The onus is now on you to win it this time.

We are here.

Barca should do it for the culture tonight.

popizaino:


Look at the movement of Thiago Silva as soon as the ball was in the air approaching the area,he reacted by shifting back to get to the last ball, this is what he does 95% of the time in his simple art of defending.Anticipating the last ball.

I'm not analysing that situation with you as I'm the one that brought it here with applaud for him.

I'm just telling you no defender does that 95% of the times and I don't have time for unending comparison with Van dijk.

If kepa didn't come out to punch the ball Silva will have contested for the header so where is 95% of the time coming from.
If any defender does that 95% time then they won't concede more than 5 headed goals all season.

BlueMann:


Someone said there's nothing good about him at Chelsea

When I read some comments here I always thank God that nairaland is not a so popular football platform and any opinion here doesn't amount to anything hereafter.

airmark:


Only few CBs would think that fast, so remove just from that line.

Yes I will gladly remove it because that's actually phenomenal.

popizaino:


This is what him and VVD does 95% of the time,they anticipate the last ball,ignorant people here call it avoiding dribbles. They allow their teammates the first tackle so as the read the direction of the ball and defend against it properly but this is not usually the case when they themselves go for the first tackle and the are unlucky with it,the teammates mess up getting the second ball and expose our defence line. That's when you see people coming down here to write rubbish spearheaded by their mentor @raumdeuter.

I'm not going that lane with you.
Silva don't do this 95% of the time and don't run away from tackle as well and like every defender on the surface of earth they win some and loses some.
Aerially Silva is very very solid and don't shy away from contesting it.
This situation is a case of very quick thinking and show of experience from Thiago Silva because he know two tall attackers are contesting for the ball and kepa is already out of his line to contest with them and their is possibility of him losing out that the reason Silva choose to cover the line.
If kepa stay rooted to his line Silva will contest that ball with those guys instead of covering the line.

andrewbaba44:


na me Dey force to troll na you Dey write epistle ?

You had to call it inheritance because you are still bitter

I just dey clear you say your beloved club is having a disaster of a season.

Oh sorry, not una inheritance na una present asset and future income.

andrewbaba44:


So you go ucl go count bridge ?

You can’t even boast of saying you will win the epl or champions league despite qualifying for the next round ,you will tell me if you spent 200 million on defense for just top 4 battle

Andrew you are too slow.
So your team also sold all their inheritance just to go to Europa league?
Another person can troll us but not Barca fans.
How can you mock me for scoring 50 when you yourself scored 20?.

If we go there to count bridge after making the knockout and not winning it, what did your team go there to count after crashing at the very beginning?

Andrew we don escape this season trolling from you the only senario to troll us is if you miraculously qualify to knockout phase or you win la Liga and we go trophyless.

No dey force troll.

This awareness from Silva is absolutely phenomenal.

andrewbaba44:


You already have your wish for Barca playing at Europa

I will just sit down and observe,the only thing that will save this thread is chelsea winning ucl and not fighting for top 4 spot

For now you are the boss ,enjoy your trolling

Chelsea should win UCL and your useless club dey Europa league.
This season UCL troll from a Barca fans is over, Andrew know when to rest. Pray for next season.
The only hope to troll left for you this season is if you win la Liga and we fail to win any trophy.

As Dayo talk say you understood what Popizaino didn’t understand, na em you wan show yourself with Balon D’or lectures and thesis.

You be confirm werey.

You need to change your ways.

WhoDeyHause:

Like I jinxed us beating ac milan home and away? If you are afraid of brentford and dead manyoo then norwich should be your portion baba.

I'm a little calm though, since apostle skimple did the deliverance things have been better.

But if to say na during those your hot run of negative prediction you drop this; I will comot mind from those games.
Hope those negative vision no come again.

WhoDeyHause:

Potter and our boys have really done well. When we get our six points from both brentford and dead manyoo this week we should be in third because one of Conte or apari must drop points. We can challenge for premier league.

Baba please don't jinx this games Abeg.

forgiveness:


Agreed but Chelsea and Kante are still working on the deal. Chelsea wants to keep him and he also wants to stay.

Last last, Kante will remain in Chelsea.

I'm not telling you he is not staying (same with the person you had the argument with couple of days ago).

The point of discuss is the length of the new contract which everyone is claiming Chelsea is very considerate to offer him 2+1 years contract and kante not factoring in his fitness level before demanding for 4 year straight.

forgiveness:


I don't know whose fault. Kante or the club that rushed to play him without getting full fitness.

Tine will tell. He still played 41+ matches last season.

Kante was not rush to play remember he has all the holiday to rest and did not travel for any pre-season.
He was fully fit before he played.

You need to agree Kante's leg is finding it difficult to run like before.
His appearance for us has been reducing year on year for the past four seasons (minus covid altered season)
Last season he only start 31 matches out of 62 matches we played which is exactly 50%.

And this season he look like missing more because with the look of things he will only start 2 in our first 20 matches.

The 2 years + optional 1 year is a very good deal for him, couple with the fact that he will be 32 before the contract begins.
