How much do you wanna bet that those unused kits from PUMA will be sold by the higher ups in the Federation?

Nothing is out of the realm of possibility in this country at this point

fabyom:
I do think you can call Sunday Dare out without ridiculing the country. My family/relatives live in a great nation, not a zoo. What will you benefit from the collapse of the zoo? I sincerely want to know!

JohnBullMySon:
You and millions of other Nigerians have this thing in common. drawing conclusions from one sided stories. Why not calm your nerves and emotions down and allow Sunday Dare to bring his own side of the story? Definitely there's something wrong with that contract issue. Sunday Dare may be wrong somewhere, but he's not that stupid to reject the PUMA contract jerseys just like that for no reason. There's a lot more to the story.

Ppogbae:


Nothing shocks me in this country anymore. I wouldn't be surprised if an investigation is not done and everyone moves on as if nothing happened - as has happened time and time again in this country

TheGoodJoe:


Grealish not having Champions League experience has to do with his club and not his talent. Players like Riqui Puig and Pedri are not as good as him but they have Champions League experience.

Ppogbae:
Sunday Dare and the higher ups at the athletics federation will rot in perdition. This is truly the height of callousness.

humility33:

Lol.... oga that guy is not as good as pedri
Please don't compare them

Tamunotonye22:



Why is this comparison please?
Your statement is delusional but I'd have to question about you. They're both gen talents and spent time at lower teams (grealish has been at the top level, drawing interest from man utd and Spurs from the same age as Pedri now). Trust me, if grealish was Spanish he'd be at Real or barça by now just like your Pedri Lol

In my humble opinion Guardiola is a good manager with a good record BUT

1. The idea that he improves players who are already world class or near that level is laughable...some pundits here in the UK even dared to say he improved Aguero. I'll let you decide or what you chose to believe.

2. He assembles the very best legs for obscene transfer fees that would cripple 99% of clubs in world football. By that reasoning he should be conveniently beating 99% of teams he faces too. So his achievements in the dugout are par for course in particular in the domestic leagues.

3. The jury is still out in some quarters about what metrics for success should be applicable when discussing Guardiolas success or lack of it. He has not won the champions League in 10 years.


He was employed by Bayern to win it and failed. Since he left they have won it!
He is employed by Man City to win it. 5 years and multiple hundreds of millions after and still no cigar...not quite the alchemist some will try to make us believe is it.

humility33:


We all saw both play for their national teams at the last euro no youngster from England could match him talent wise

You talk about if grealish was spanish he would be in Madrid or berca, you make me laugh if not for the privilege of been english i doubt if he is worth beyond 50m pounds and even an elite club material

Tamunotonye22:




You have proved so much point to let these guys bully you like that. There are a bunch of players that have UCL experience and cannot be on the same level with grealish. This is common sense. Mane and VVD had no UCL experience from s'oton. It's just funny and ridiculous when I hear people call EPL and it's players overrated. England not winning the WC or Euros has nothing to do with the players, but with the coach. Coaches/managers these days have a philosophy (Mancini,guardiola, Tuchel, klopp) and that alone changes the mentality of a team and a player. Conte and Mourinho all had that top manager quality (philosophy and format) that helped them edge over their counterparts. We saw how klopp and pochettino played out (esp Spurs with a team you'd arguably call average) at the UCL finals the last time. And now Tuchel and guardiola, Southgate is nowhere half as good as these men are. Most of y'all watch this game for fun and probably for goals and it clearly shows.
@TheGoodJoe you made too much sense, respect!

TheGoodJoe:


Jack Grealish was not given a chance by the coach. That is not a proof that Pedri is better. When Jack Grealish got a bit of chance, he showed quality.

TheGoodJoe:


You guys reharsh the same stale story. Guardiola was bought to win the Champions League. Football has never worked like that. It takes luck to win the Champions League. The only guarantee a coach can give is outstanding performances. Title falls to luck.

Mancini won this Euro based on luck. He did his job to turn the Italians to a top quality team. Enrique build the best class with respect to team play but unluckily lost to Italy on Penalties.

Italy won by penalties.

However, what Guardiola did at Bayern and has done at City is what a layman can not deny. He built the fiercest playing teams. They made results that were not done possible. He did the same with Barca.

So you guys can keep hiding under Guardiola has not won the Champions League but heck, he came to the most competitive league on the planet and won it 3 times in four seasons. Won every domestic title in one season.

So you guys can run with he has not won the Champions League but we the Cityzens family know the truth Guardiola has over delivered and we expect him to keep delivering.

If your argument is that luck is the overriding element that determines success in the champions League (which by the way is a more even field considering Guardiola's outlay on players) then I will leave it there. I have no more to add to any debate on the matter.

Italy won the Euro by luck too? It's okay.

humility33:


The coach saw all he has to offer the team during friendlies and more so he wasn't pleased with his inputs of all subs saka played better and even steal the show at some point nothing special from grealish at last euros

Olympiacos have collected the number 7 Jersey from local boy & captain, Kostas Fortounis, who contributed 22 goals last season and given it to Henry Onyekuru. Fortounis had worn this for the past 6 years.

Pressure.

andrew444:


Pedri was purchased from a division 2 Spanish team at 5 million euros at the age of 17 while grealish was a 25 year old player playing championship football for years ,pedri spent only 1 season at division 2 football which was at the age of 17 and same can’t be said of grealish

I cannot compare the 2 players okay ,as one is already a world talent at 18 and won the best young player at the euros

After 1 season of top flight football for club and country pedri is worth 80 million euros by transfer market ,that should tel you he will be sold for nothing less than 150 million euros of Barca are to sell him

Who told you if grealish was Spanish he will be at real or Barca ,as good as Dani Olmo and oyazarbal they haven’t played for Barca and you think grealish will be playing there .

Point of correction Na grealish spend time for lower teams and not pedri ,you cannot compare 8 seasons at Aston Villa and north county which most of the time there was championship football to a single season at las palmas for a 16 year old kid .

TheGoodJoe:


I doubt purchase time is a point. I remember clubs wanted Jack Grealish earlier but he turned them down to stay at Villa. That should not mean poor player.

TheGoodJoe:


Saka got selected to play more like a wingback and not because he was better than Grealish. Southgate opted for a more defensive approach and selected the team based on that.

TheGoodJoe:
See what I am saying? No one talks about the improved buying power of the selling club. Reports have it that Aston Villa just landed Danny Ings. Which I consider a massive signing from Southampton.

andrew444:


Lies ,grealish didn’t turn anyone down to stay at Villa ,those club weren’t serious

He is joining mancity now because city are serious in getting him

andrew444:


Aston Villa has made 3 massive signing

They signed the best championship player from Norwich for 40 million euros ,Emiliano buenda the Argentine ,they signed Leon Bailey from leverkusen for 30 million euros and now they have signed Danny Ings for 25 million euros

Watch out for Aston Villa

Remember spurs once made such signings soldado and co after bale exit and fulhan too with nothing to show for it

Can't argue much with you because that Southgate na agbaya.... gernot rohr English nephew. But i dont agree with agree with that grealish is up to pedri potentials
