I know you like to be diplomatic and don't want to call a spade a spade.

But a pcture can say a thousand words NPFL 17 year olds hmmm.

bazooka1:


Man city may not have broken a world record but I reckon spending 150M on full backs must be somewhere close to a world record.
Any other team in history spent that much on full backs? Your guess is as good as mine.

I'm starting to have a horrible feeling that Iwobi may not feature in the Europa league final.

Less than two weeks before the start of the 2019 FIFA U20 World Cup, allnigeriasoccer.com understands that the Flying Eagles are embarking on a jamboree trip to Poland because they are not prepared for the tournament.

The Paul Aigbogun-led side have been far from impressive in their three test games so far, drawing 3-3 with SC Freiburg U23s, losing 2-1 to Saudi Arabia and struggling to beat a younger age group, VfR Aalen U19s 3-1 in Wednesday's friendly.

The Flying Eagles could not string five passes together in the friendlies and in training games, and the main problem with the team is that they are unable to create chances, not to talk of scoring.

They were outplayed by VfR Aalen teenagers and were lucky to win the game after scoring twice in the second half.

Their camp in Bad Gögging is in disarray, with several uninvited players not disclosed to the public showing up in camp.

Paul Aigbogun should carry the blame for the Monarch Hotel overflowing with players because he knew the identities of eighty percent of the players heading to the World Cup even before the squad traveled to Germany for the training camp.

In other news, Bournemouth midfielder Nnamdi Ofoborh is the latest English-based player on the books of a Premier League club to depart the training camp, joining Everton's Korede Adedoyin, Manchester City's Fisayo Dele-Bashiru and Watford's Jayden Bennetts.

Ofoborh has claimed he needed to go back to his club ahead of their final match of the season vs Crystal Palace on Sunday, May 12.

Mendy + Walker =100 million, I don't know where you got 150 from

Liverpool spent 60 million on a frigging keeper

bazooka1:


When you add Danilo what do you get?
Say it

Did Okocha football life span come to an end or not?

Atleast, you have agreed what you won determines your achievement in football.

But an ignoramus like you didn't know Abdul won laurels locally and internationally with Dolphin fc and Panathinaikos. Stop disgracing yourself in public, mister.

Ohooooo! You can factor in injury for Ebuehi's predicament but can't factor that in in Tiago Ilori's case during his sojourn in Ligue 1.

Get this, Tiago Ilori despite injury had a successful season in the Ligue 1 than Chidozie Awaziem did. Do you want to dispute this?

The universe Ilori also had a successful league in La Liga (the one man league) as our universe Omeruo is doing in the la Liga. How about that?

Wait! Didn't you you say universe Omeruo is doing well in LA Liga?

Tiago Ilori didn't run home to an obscure league nor club but to the Portuguese first division with Sporting Lisbon, the third biggest club in Portugal.

Atleast, Tiago Ilori has successfully played in the La Liga, Portuguese Liga, Ligue 1 and Championship at 20 but you didn't tell us Tiago was a young man and time was still on his side then.

Okay, tell me where Nwakali has played so far and where he is now. In Portuguese lowly second division yet struggling to get game time.

Mister, you reck of bias.

Joebie:
Too young? So na age dem look, not ability on the pitch?

TheGoodJoe:



Please do not call someone an ignoramus. It is uncalled for especially coming from a respected member of the house. You are to set good examples here.

forgiveness:


Okay sir. But how do I call someone who is ignorant?

TheGoodJoe:


Point the facts he is missing without calling him names. Thank you.

Danilo is 30 million, total 130million

Not up to Allison + Van diyk

bazooka1:


Allison and VVD are not full backs.
Liverpool spent just £8m on full backs :

Arnold =free
Gomez=free
Robertson =8m
While Man city spent €150m acquiring Danilo, Walker and Mendy.

Earthquake2:


The matter is how much you spent, not where you spent them

TheGoodJoe:


Liverpool already had Clyne, Moreno and Lovren (who was Liverpool's most expensive defender before Van Dijk.

So they could afford to get young players and groom them in years. Especially Arnold.

Manchester City lost Demichelis, Sagna, Zabaleta, Clichy, Kolarov and had to spend to rebuild. We lost four full backs and bought three. How that equates to blank check buying is mysterious.

The fact is very clear but you have decided to dwell on the false narrative.

bazooka1:

Your point is that Liverpool have out spent Man city over the past few years?

bazooka1:

Why didn't Man city groom players while Sagna, Zabaleta and co were there?

TheGoodJoe:


Guardiola was not the coach during the time of their plays. The point is we lost four full backs and replaced with three. Accept you blank check theory is false and move on.

Even after Klopp has spent much, I will not use the players he signed to run him down because he is a brilliant manager.

Finito.

bazooka1:


My theory of Guardiola spending is false? What's your point?

TheGoodJoe:


Keep in mind Klopp has spent over £380m building his squad. Not as lightweight as you guys want to paint him.

TheGoodJoe:


Your blank check theory is false. The facts are there to prove it.

Finito.

bazooka1:

The facts are there to prove Pep is operating on a budget?

bazooka1:

But in that time, he has totally revived the careers of presumed dead weights like Henderson and Milner. Brought through players like Gomez and Arnold from the academy. Plucked Robertson from relative obscurity from a relegated Hull City or something and turned him to world class full back.
All these he achieved before spending on top players like VVD and co.
This is what I mean by solid management, the ability to mix it up and achieve success. That is why I strongly believe he has made more impact than Pep.
Thank you

TheGoodJoe:


Not a blank check.

TheGoodJoe:


Still ended up spending over £380m.

Finito.
