>Arsenal and Manchester City are battling it out to sign two members of the Nigerian squad who won last year’s Under-17 World Cup.
>Kelechi Nwakali and Samuel Chukwueze, who both play for Diamond Football Academy in Umuahia, southeastern Nigeria have been scouted by several of Europe’s leading clubs over the last few months after both scored three goals at the World Cup in Chile in November. Playmaker Nwakali was named as the tournament’s most valuable player, while Everton were linked with winger Chukwueze in November.
>Reports have stated that Arsenal are the favourites to sign both players for a combined £3m but according to Diamond Football Academy’s general manager Prince Apugo, they have yet to reach a decision over their futures.
>“Samuel is like my son, I am his legal guardian and I have been taking good care of him for many years now. Likewise Kelechi, so naturally I would want the best for them,” Apugo told News24.
>“Both players have great potentials and we cannot afford to let money becloud our judgement in choosing a club for them. Our priority is their development and we are determined to ensure this is put into consideration before we accept any offers for them. Already we are deep in discussions and have gone very far with a big club with a rich history of encouraging young players and giving them chances.
>“At the fullness of time, when the deal is sealed the whole world will know and agree with us that we made the best choice for the players.”
>Bayern Munich and Belgian club Standard Liege are understood to also be interested in signing the duo, who are represented by Gareth Bale’s agents, the Stellar Group.

>Seconda stagione al Madrid da protagonista, tante ottime prestazioni con quel famoso eurogol nel derby ad impreziosire un anno e mezzo di alto livello. Gareth Bale è uno dei pezzi pregiati della squadra granata, tanto da attirare le attenzioni di un grande club europeo. Si tratta del Bayern Monaco, che sta valutando la possibilità di portarlo a giugno in Germania. A 26 anni, per il terzino valais potrebbero quindi aprirsi le porte del club tedesco, che nella prossima stagione sarà allenato da Carlo Ancelotti.

>>64863334

>>64863353
Not sure he's any better after being played out of position but at least he has pace & drive considering how difficult it is to give the forwards any chance whatsoever to score.

It's England m8

It's irrelevant. We all know that Woy will start Rooney, Carrick and Delph and only bring on Kane, Vardy, Dier, Alli etc in the last 15 minutes of games

He's been shit apparently.

Basically Liverpool are absolutely fucking desperate, down to literally just Kolo and Ilori, with the only other options being Lucas, Enrique and then academy kids.

It's not a bad punt, if he decides he gives a fuck again and puts in displays like he did for da Swans he could be an ok backup for the rest of the season.

He was promising a few years back, even got called up for England, don't really know what happened to him, maybe having to play for Cardiff and QPR sucked his desire from him.

>>64864565

>>64865003
We've got loads of decent players but they don't fit into any system, Saul would just be the latest in that trend. Also I really don't think, providing Herrera Schweini and Schneiderlin are fit, we need any more centre mids. If anything we need a pacey right winger.

>>64865048
Could still do with another midfielder to be fair, in January or summer. Carrick is old, Schweini is old and can't play every game. Fellaini could leave too.

But yeah I'd still prioritise a right winger over a midfielder.

>>64863786

He was brilliant from 06/07 to 11/12 what are you on about

>>64863767
I'll take Kenny Tete for 800 , Alex

>>64865260

except he wasnt, very injury prone and ridiculous positional play at times. i can think of 5 laughable errors on the top of my head, he was a great meme (he so stronk haha) and genuine a great header on set pieces, but he got lucky he got into United so the better players could cover for his abundant defensive mistakes

>>64865233
'no'

>>64865233
Vidic won 14 trophies in 10 years at Utd.
Kompany has 4 trophies in 8.

SERBIA STRONG!

>>64865299
>very injury prone
Apart from his ligament injury v Basel in 11/12 and his knee injury in 12/13, he missed 6 games from injury.

>ridiculous positional play
Maybe in his later years, but in his prime with Rio his positioning was just fine.

>5 laughable errors
Apart from the ones v Liverpool, what else?

>>64865597

Way better than FIFA you nigger. FM actually scouts the players.

>>64873069
and a winter break

>>64873201
I thought they played this winter? Either way if you're getting paid hundreds of thousands of pounds a week to be a professional athlete you should be able to run for an hour twice a week

>>64873238
Getting paid more money doesn't mean your body can physically do more.

Liverpool for example have 2.9 days between games average, players are supposed to rest 3 days between games minimum, City and Spurs don't have much better.

It's no wonder there's so many muscle injuries in the league at the moment.

The entire Christmas period is like a total slog of

match-->recovery-->match-->recovery-->match

They really need to change something soon. Maybe remove the league cup

>try to look for the MOTD thread
>realise it's tuesday

>>64864369

You now remember Aaron Lennon

>>64873335
>Maybe remove the league cup
That would probably help. The whole tournament is a mess anyway.
>half the PL teams play B teams
>one leg, up to the semis, then suddenly two legged
>away goals have no effect, until extra time of the second leg

>>64873335
I think the game after boxing day is unnecessary, and I'm not saying its easy, but I doubt being a footballer is as physically demanding as being a long distance runner or even something like a bricklayer, and a club like Liverpool has more resources to get through Christmas than the vast majority of teams in England

>>64865104
>>64865597
FM uses ProZone to get the stats.

Best RB / CB in the world right now? how much would you pay for them if you had dirty muslim or chinese money?

>>64873563
>I doubt being a footballer is as physically demanding as being a long distance runner or even something like a bricklayer
I'd say it is, and probably more. There's more explosive effort, rythm change and varied movement in football, which probably means more risk of muscle injury.

>>64873651
>best RB

Lahm, when he gets played there

40 million pounds

>>64873563
Long distance runners have carefully planned schedules and usually decent rest times.

Lots more injuries occur during sprints, or acceleration/deceleration or shifting direction of movement too which long distance runners don't really have to do

>>64873463
The league cup semi being 2 legged is fucking retarded. I love how Klopp said he got loads of texts off German people congratulating him on another final, and he had to tell them there's a 2nd leg

>>64873651
CB: Boateng (Varane as best young CB. Di Vrij also)

RB: Alves (Dani Carvajal as best young RB)

>>64873786
Lahm is retiring in 2 years.

>>64873354
ded

Returned to training recently though

>>64873902
Still doesn't mean he's not the best right now

>>64873956
I say Alves is better. If you see above that post.
