Can he cope? Spain or Germany for me fits his kind of game

charlesemeka85:
oshimeh is strong,fast and robust so he will be a hit in serie A. also remember the serie A is highly tactical with slower pace when compared to the epl,laliga and bundesliga

Ragnick is to come in as a sporting director. the only coach linked to united of late is allegri

the problem with united in not the coach but the management board and the glazers family who are just after making money and knows little on taking a massive club of united's standard to the next level since fergie retired.

they are more focused on bringing in marque signings for the business aspect of the game where more revenues are brought in from the sells of shirts,souvenirs and monitoring the stock market every single minute.

for united to get back to its best the glazers have to sell the club while a good director of football should be hired to focus on the footballing aspect of the club while woodward concentrate on the business side.

this is one of the major reasons why spanish midfielder ander herera left the team citing that the club hierachy focus more on the financial aspect of the game rather than the sporting aspect.

also van gaal said that the difference between bayern and united is that the latter focus more on raking in revenues than equipping the academy with good talented young stars who will go on to graduate to the snr side in the future

Belgian First Division A club KV Oostende inform via their official website that they have re-signed Nigeria international Joseph Akpala for the remainder of the 2019-2020 season with an option for next season.

The experienced striker has returned to KV Oostende following his release by Saudi Pro League side Al-Faisaly in February 2019.

Akpala racked up 97 appearances for KV Oostende in his earlier spell with the club from 2015 to 2018, scoring 20 goals and had six assists to his name.

A product of Bendel Insurance, he lists Sporting Charleroi, Club Brugge, Werder Bremen and Kardemir Karabukspor among his former clubs.

A division lower, KVC Westerlo have confirmed that they have ended their collaboration with retired Nigeria international Emmanuel Emenike.

The Belgian First Division B team explained that they mutually agreed to part ways with the 2013 Africa Cup of Nations top scorer because he could not be brought to the level that both parties had intended.

In five outings for KVC Westerlo in the league, Emenike failed to register his name on the scoresheet.

edi287:

Ragnick is also a decent coach. Dude set the template for modern German coaches like Klopp and Nagelsmann to use. But yeah... He's better as a DOF. I wish Arsenal had gone for him instead of that fraud Emery.
Van Gaal is right. I think he'd have done better if the board were on the same page with him.
I remember when people were laughing at him for wanting Saido Mane and making a deal of it when Man United failed to sign him.
Woodward should be fired asap or man united will be the new Newcastle United in 15-20 years.
Those Glazers are something else. You know they rejected a £3.5B offer from an Arab buyer to sell the club?? Just like Kroenke is doing with Arsenal, Manure is good for them to use as collateral to take out loans.

edi287:

Emenike is supposed to be 32...see how washed he looks. Smh.

charlesemeka85:
he is a very good coach and has a good eye for unknown talented players. he was the first to spot 17 year old ronaldo de lima in brazil and have agreed with his brazilian club to sign him on for his club then stuttgart before the brazilian legend opted for psv eidhoven. he also brought unknown firmino to hoffenheim from brazil on a cheap prize.

from what i read online he is wanted by united but to operate as the clubs sporting director, ex united goalkeeper and dutch great van der saar who is the current sporting director of ajax was also linked but he signed a new contract with the dutch side few days ago.

nagelsman is another coach linked with united.

ed woodward is one of the biggest problems in united and one of the reasons jose mourinho and van gaal left. he knows nothing about football but makes decisions without consulting the coaches a times when it comes to transfers and the academy.

jose complained so much about him during his time at united and was frustrated until he left. so many players jose wanted which includes our own ndidi were ignored, even jose was the first to signal the club hierarchy to bring in van dijk but the team management delayed until the dutch defender have already agreed a move to liverpool.

what about the case of koulibaily? even this same maguire was wanted by jose when he is far cheaper but they didnt hind to his advise and demands.

this was the reason why jose said that finishing 2nd with the team a season before he left was his greatest achievement during his stint in the.
club

he saudi prince is still very interested but the glazers are not willing to sell. manchester united is a very rich club with huge fan base all over the world with majority from asia which is the biggest market today. they glazers are not ready to sell the club even fr 10b pounds

edi287:

The sad thing is Woodward will probably remain because he knows the "commercial side" of things.
Liverpool owners are the only Americans that seem to know how to run a football club well. Kroenke and the Glazers suck big time.

Hmmmmn. That reminds me.

Clicking on the first page ONLY for the second time ever and I want to share my experience with you all.

1. Where is terzurum5? His last seen is on the 4th of November. That's about 10 days ago and never seen a post from him since my first day in here

2. Icon4s - Still and ever readily available as always till date.

3. Forgiveness - same as Icon4s above.

4. AIG07 - Where is he too? Last seen is a month gap between himself and terzurum5. Never come across his moniker too.

5. TheGoodJoe - Yeah. Not too conspicuously missing though but no longer a regular. Once saw him reading as a ghost reader

6. groundnutoil - Never read from him before but twice caught him peeping from the background without commenting

7. maputohq - Never come across the moniker before and Interestingly, his last seen is just yesterday.

8. Nobody - A deactivated account. So no comment more than that.

9. blueto - Nothing note Worthy to be revealed

10. karlovich - Never ever come across it. last seen is July 24th! Way way back! What happened? where are you?

11. TheSuperNerd - Same card as Icon4s. He even took permission for his absenteeism yesterday.

12. CFCman - same as blueto

13. achimotan - Never before but still alive on Nairaland

14. robosky02 - Never seen it here too but somewhere else - Other threads sometime in the past.

15. daveP - Never before today and last seen is today's early hours.

Ladies and gentlemen, Those are the monikers I came across on the first 2 pages of this thread while noting that a greater number of other monikers with superb personalities have also been discovered too numerous to mention right from my first day in here.

However, In order not to spam your various mentions, I would jettison the listing accordingly.

Guys, I wanna say,

Thanks for accepting me as I am haven given me a sense of belonging already as part of the family of a patriotic Nigerian Football loving community on Nairaland - An online social media forum that originated from NIGERIA.

liverpool owners don't know anything but got it right by hiring kloop and allowing him to make decisions when it comes to players recruitment.

kloop single handedly transformed liverpool and made the right choices when bringing in players.

he signed robertson from hull

salah from roma when no big team were willing to have him after flopping at chelsea.

brought in matip and firmino from germany on a cheaper price when compared to today's market

graduated and gave arnaut a chance in the first team

brought in sane for a decent price from southampton.

brought in ox from arsenal on a good price

the only player that cost him much was van dijk and currently they are reaping the fruits

liverpool and kloop got their recruitment right for the past 2 seasons which is the main reason the team is among the best in europe currently

edi287:

Nah I think their owners are good. They appointed a transfer committee that knows how to use data well not like Arsenal and their mumu Stat DNA.
I heard Klopp wanted Julian Brandt as first choice over Mane and didn't even want Keita.
Liverpool has a good scouting and transfer committee.

daveP:
Im just tired that Legendary Yekini still seats atop the goalscorers list for the SE. Osimhen is poised to do that. Iwobi too.


Nice 2019 record for the SE. Our only defeats were at Afcon 2019.

SMH wouldn't be a good move in my opinion. Lepzig would've been perfect for him at this stage of his career.
Anyhow he'll get paid more and a front 3 of him Rashford and James/Martial isn't that bad.

forgiveness:


Who takes your opinion seriously, huh?

Using special talents as an excuse tantamounts to substly prejudice and discrimination.

People don get sense pass dat yeye 'special talent' wayo.

joining Leipzig won't fetch them money, it's just like you debiting your access bank account and crediting your union bank account, na you still get money. And I suppose they want to make big bucks from his sale

daveP:
You welcome anytime, anyday with the love for football and all. Twalz

Alexander "The Great" Iwobi: Mr Available


Only Alex Iwobi featured in all 14 games played by the Super Eagles in 2019.

Naija Boy!!!

There's an Effiong, Nwoko and Mbong in the Maltese national team. The NFF should go for them, they're all foreign born

No hard feelings nor jealousy Brother. For that is why they are the AFRICAN CHAMPIONS

But if we get to meet again soon, it's gonna be a different Ball game altogether though.

safarigirl:
I mean, I see their appeal for a teenage girl. I used to think Odemwingie was the finest creature to don the green and white jersey, but then, I was thirteen and still thought of pink lips as a criteria for good looks

I'm not saying they aren't good-looking in their own rights, but better looking than Awaziem, Ajayi and Dennis? Nah. Even if we were talking lightskin, mixed kids, Ekong ought to get a look in over Odemwingie at least.
