That is because ... we dont know the clauses in the contract I get the 30 thing but I don't buy it. Drogba is close to 30 but you wouldn't get him for less than £25M. At I know at Chelsea, we pay silly money, but Sheva went for £30M and I'd argue Henry is the more complete player. As for the clause...

Why £16M

Even as a Chelsea fan, I'm sad to see Henry go. Great player, great showman and he more than any, made Wenger's team the joy they are to watch. We'll miss him. But maybe, just maybe, it was time for him to go. It might have been addressed elsewhere, but my question is: Why £16M? That's less than Car...

I have to agree with this. He doesn't really perform well for us and has always had an uncomfortable relationship with the team. I think we need to be realistic. Some guys like Kanu, Osaze, Yobo and Utaka love playing for us so keep using them. I wish Oba all the best, but I think we should leave hi...

That's the kind of idea our MCBB (Mama Calabar Beer Bellies) should be making happen, instead they lumber us with GPWNC's (German Pensioners with No Clue).

I think it's a fabulous idea. In fact NFA, Pepsi, Globacom - whoever- should develop a scheme to bring our guys back after a certain age. If you've played at the top, come home, we'll match your average salary from the last 10 years, give you a stake in the club. Think what it'll do for rights and p...

Those of you watching on BBC, don't be too influenced by the commentary...this is not that bad a game. It's a midfield quagmire, and its great to see a young Naija guy standing out in there. His passing could be better, but he is strong on the tackel, shields the ball gorgeously, eager to have the b...

Whichever way you read it, KC2G wins this bet.
Injuries don't figure: It's like saying Drogba did not outscore Henry because Henry was injured

Even figuring, both players missed games ...that's life.

Waffi is an honourable man. Accept defeat, take your licks and better luck next year.

A lot of mid-level teams will come calling no doubt. While we Nigerians don't fancy the YAK, the English love his strength and pace and he does produce the goods. Candidates? Villa, Everton, Man City, Bolton. But don't be surprised if a team like Liverpool or Arsenal, both lacking a big man, come in...

The problem for anyone who wants Oba is that The Toon won't let him go for less than £20m. And until they have a full season of Owen, they are completely and utterly dependent on Oba, who was by far and away, their best player this season. I also don't think he is what the Gooners need. They still j...

are we seriously repsonding to an article in News of The World?
Big Sam will have no such plans. And no one, no one, would get rid of Oba and then bring in Viduka (with 2-3 years of his career left).
Try again.

Tactically, Wenger, Benitez, Mourinho all rank above Fergie, but in terms of winning titles and creating teams, no one compares. I disagree, it is Fergie that has been putting square pegs in round holes and still getting results. While these other managers succumbed to their injuries, he prevailed ...
