HT Narva JK Trans 10 - 0 FC Ajax L Interesting scoreline in Estonia

He isn't better than Enrique, but he is far above what I would expect the club to sign. He was poor last season and has underachieved in France, but still a great athlete with some talent mixed in. Was right up with Tremoulinas, Taiwo, Morel, etc as best left back in the league last season.

Did you miss the part where they acquired Adebayor?

I doubt it. He's no longer a star player or even a starter in a top European league, but I think his natural talent and style of play will lead him to 3 or 4 more years of good performances in your retirement league or Australia's.

What is the basis for this statement?

I really doubt this. It just makes very little sense.

If they can afford Odemwingie, why haven't they spent any money this summer improving their horiffic squad?

He's just gained hair. It makes you appear smaller.

39 isn't really THAT old for athletics. If you have great diet and fitness it is definitely not out of the question.

I will echo the sentiment that Brek Shea looks a player. I enjoy him. Still cannot believe the Mexican commentator on ESPN simply left with ten minutes. I missed his intelligent contributions such as "Mexico have the ball......this bad for US"

Ricardo Clark is one of the worst players I've ever seen in a high level international match.

Speaking of, do you have any opinion on Chuks Aneke. He decided to be a Nigerian a few months back. Anything, I should look forward to? Cameroon and Morocco both have some serious work to do before they are at the ACN, btw. As do Nigeria and some other high profile sides. The pain may be lessened on Europe.

How the hell did he manage to get a WP? Typical favouring of the big sides, 'special talent dispensation' I imagine. Mikel Obi got one after 5 or so appearances in Norway. That set the precedent. If you are a powerful club, the work permit system won't affect you in any way. It is a stupid system, anyway.

Anzhi just paid 13 million for Zhirkov. Paylyuchenko is better and plays a more marquee position.

Don't think Long is the striker they need. The lack of a target man in their team was glaring at times, imo. Weren't they supposed to be seeling Mulumbu as well? Seems that disappeared. I remember him to Fiorentina (?) being a done deal. I think they will stay up with relative ease again, though. Agree. Can Odemwingie play wide? Yes, he can definitely be effective as a wing forward in a 4-3-3, but he would fail as a traditional English wide player in 4-4-2. He's almost always played wing forward for Nigeria, I would actually say it is his natural position.

I really enjoy the random anger generated in the football section.

People take this place too seriously. It is a forum to talk nonsense about NUFC and other irrelevant things that we find interest in. It's hardly a social club or something that should really be a massive part of your life.

We are actually the youngest side in the tournament. (officially) The knockout stages of this tournament will very interesting. Most of the top teams are here and some very decent football is being played.

Seriously, Musa is a baller. We must have the guy. What is Graham Carr's number?

Hard to be productive when the season hasn't even started yet. Clearly I am referring to his production and actions in the first four years he spent at this club. Your objection to my comment is quite stupid. He was our best player last season He provided us with literally nothing for three years while being paid an extremely high amount every single week. He should be ashamed to act like the club owes him anything.

I honestly don't want Barton back at this point. Too much wahala. Too little production.

Suswam (left back from Setubal) just smashed in a brilliant shot from 30 or so yards. Brilliant strike. Taiwo should watch his back.

Impressive from our u-20 squad thus far. 1-0 over Croatia. Not just physicality. Like the 2005 team (Mikel, Taiwo, etc) very impressive composure and ball control. Kayode and Musa look like very good prospects. Musa has a lot of potential for a top career, imo. Skillful and so very quick, if a bit lightweight. Really has star potential.
