There you go again!

Can't you argue for or against without using Messi as a shield? If your argument is, strong, if your game 8s tight you wouldn't factor Messi or any other person in this. That's what I'm making you realise. Didn't you partake in debates in school? Do you debate on issues like Doctors are better than Farmers, then in the course of your discussion you involve a teacher? I don't think that's reasonable, unless maybe if you didn't do debate and hence don't know what it entails. Moreover, Messi ain't a flop for Argentina. Heck! Messi has always been saving their árses for pete's sake! Check his goals, check his assists, infact, check the stat for when he plays and doesn't in the ongoing WC qualifiers and see how honestly silly your premise is. His teammates factor in when it comes to winning trophies because if course he wouldn't do it alone, but he gives his all and is always the best player for his team match-in-match-out. Same cannot be said of Hazard. So please, argue about Neymar vs Hazard and never factor anyone else in if you think you are intelligent and can hold reasonable conversations.

Meanwhile, why do we have to leave Neymar and Hazard till the next 5 years? Hazard is 26 already and you know the average peak age is usually around 27. So, you want us to compare them when Hazard starts using a staff to walk?

Anyways, I never implied Brazil are bad. They are in a rebuilding process you would agree. Now tell me, when was Coutinho called into the NT? When was Gabriel Jesus called into the NT? When was Willian called and how many matches has he played for them? When was Marquinhos called into the NT? And so many others too. Compare it to let's say the Argentine team or the German team or the Spanish team and see how they stack up as an entity compared to the rest.

Well, I know I have made my point. I don't ever wanna read excuses like Neymar has better teammates in Barça hence his better performance. We all know who is better, Ney!

I would not send Hazard away just to have Neymar replace him, to each his own, enjoy your Neymar, let me enjoy my Hazard, shey wahala wa nibe ni?

Skimpledawg:
Egbon Nihilist, take it from me, you are evil.

You left your thread and packed all the 'Ls' we have been saving for the future and shoved it down a young man's throat.

So unfair

Dmcdad, that guy's name should be changed to 'lallana'

Which guy bruv?

Of course kosi wahala ní bè. Meanwhile, I never said anywhere that you should replace Hazard with Neymar, did I?

Seeing Messi's name being mentioned about anyhow.




Una well-done.

That Coutinho guy is very stubborn, why can he listen to neymar and sign for barcelona , his he cool with going trophyless every season ...some player with weird decision making sha

Bro, it it's more than meets the eye. Why do you think Thiago left after being groomed at La Masia? You have to consider alot of possibilities. Yes, the prospect of winning trophies is tempting, but then, how about your chances of playing week-in-week-out? You think every top player wouldn't factor that in considering where next they ply their trade? That's the ish bruv...

That is why some give as conditions that they would have to play let's say 80% of games, especially with relation to their buy-out clause, like it did with Thiago. So, it's not always easy to make such negotiations from the club's perspective, and also not easy to make such decisions from the player's point of view too.

The rate at which you try to convince me that Neymar is better than Hazard, I just weak.

They said Thiago is better too, how I wan do na, make I dey manage my Hazard like that.....the guy too good for me o.

yeah i already look into that, in coutinho's case it's different , he knows barcelona are looking for and attacking midfielder to replace ageing iniesta, do you think if andre gomes was playing very well, he wouldn't have been a starter ?..right now is not does day when it imposible to bench someone in barcelona midfield area , iniesta is benchable now that he is ageing and is game is slowly declining..i think dis is the right tym he should join in ..cause i see arda and andre gomes been sold later on

Liverpool can shove coutinho up their ass. Let barca buy isco, and blend him with Denis. I prefer isco's play making to coutinho's, and i believe coutinho will be unnecessarily expensive, epl players are always like that.
There's sergi Roberto wasting his precious talent on the sidelines. Roberto desperately needs playing time to boost his confidence right now, I see him as a potential xavi. There's sergi samper seriously needing to start fighting for a barca shirt. I just wish bartomeu can hire me as sporting director just for a transfer window... I will revamp that midfield for good

Sergi Roberto a potential Xavi.



LOL ...The disrespect that goes on here though.

What is it with Leo and Paris? This is verging on unhealthy obsession.

You are right, but even at that he would need assurances. If the board won't assure him, then I doubt any possibilities.

If Barca comes for Coutinho, he would sign before thinking.
Who nor like better thing?

make the board look into dis matter jare, did you notice most players that join barca didn't join cause of the money, they love the club naturally , our scout are even annoying these day, sign yeye player full ground

I referred to Roberto as a potential xavi, I didn't compare him to xavi. Mind you, xavi rose to his peak between 26/27 to 31/32, his best years under guadiola. He wasn't even a starter with the likes of deco, Motta, v.bommel, Marquez in the middle of the pack so I don't see where the insult is. Sergi has that potential to become one that dictates play in the midfield given he's lamasia, and

What barca needs is another quardiola who will look inwards and promote the la masia rather than buy ready made players. To neglect the prospects of the Barcelona academy is to ruin the foundation of Barca's football.

I never said you compared him to Xavi.


I'm only laughing at the fact that you think he has the potential to be our new Xavi when he doesn't even have half of the ability.

He lacks the needed Pausa,and also the vision to pick a pass.


The name you are looking for is Thiago Alcantara...not Sergi Roberto.

Xavi is Xavi, players of such calibre come maybe once in a blue moon.
Thiago comes with his own package and he's fit for the system.
There can never be another Xavi!

Messi scores penalty (his is the best
ronaldo with two sweet goals

Thought you people have average players in neymar rakitic dennis suarez and co whom you've been making all noise about ever since so enjoy what you've got and leave coutinho alone let him stay where he is. After all, history wise, Liverpool is a far more superior club to Barcelona. Na only towards the early 2000's una start to show any meaningful impact for football. Before then, you were no where near the likes of villareal, sevilla, valencia , madrid, Zaragoza and Bilbao.

Was listening to top radio 90.9 Lagos some months back and there is this weekely comparing of footballers they always do. The the OAP olawale adigun brought up iniesta vs zinedine zidane (in their prime). Someone called and blasted him for such an insult to the great one called zidane. Some said its like comparing a professor to his student. As horrible as it sounds, some barca fans still called to say iniesta was better . Later that day there was another comparison between pirlo and xavi on another radio.

It was then I totally gave up on barca fans. They can be so silly.

DeBruyne is so vital for Belgium.


Was severely missed today.

Yeah he's even better than garrincha.

Dmcdad, what did the Belgium team, 'full of quality star players' played without EDEN Hazard, they struggled to get a draw.



















Against 10-man Greece team.


Shey u sef dey see am. Belgium is not France o


Hazard for hear am tonight if he had played.

Iniesta>Zidane is a fact.

They missed De Bruyne more...He makes them tick.


Hazard isn't very influential in Belgium.

Nacer Chadli has a similar contribution with Hazard in that Belgium team.
