City not Nassr! Why Cristiano Ronaldo will forever regret not joining Manchester City



21 goals in 16 game, Erling Haaland is banging in the goals from all corners and breaking old records. But come to think of it, that could've been Cristiano Ronaldo. The striker Pep Guardiola really wanted to lead his attacking lines two seasons ago. 

Guardiola knows Ronaldo's prowess in front of goal and felt his phenomenal abilities will suit Manchester City perfectly. 

Ronaldo won't have to press form the front, join the team in counter press or even drop deep like Firmino's or Harry Kane's to orchestrate the tempo of the game from the middle. 

All he had to do was stay upfront and finish off the move. 

De Bruyne, Mahrez, Silva, Grealish, Foden's and other creative players will find him with killer passes to score. He would've been contesting for the Ballon d'Or and not giving out endlessly interviews. 

But to choose to call Sir Alex Ferguson who will certainly say no! Ronaldo ended what would've an era defining career. All he had to do was shut up, travel to City, sign the contract, apologies to United or whoever- score the goals, win the trophies. 

That positive vibe of scoring goals and winning trophies could've played a huge part in Qatar. Portugal and not Argentina might have been champions. 

But deciding to ditch an exceptional team in City for United caused him everything. Today, some Manchester United fans don't even consider him a legend after the Piers Morgan bombshell. 

Ronaldo left Europe with his tails between his knees. A reject who couldn't get into a Champions League team despite accepting to lower his wages.

Joining Al Nassr is good for him on a personal level. It will rekindle his joy in the game, get back into the shape and off course, pay him big bucks. 

Hopefully, a fit and firing Cristiano Ronaldo will help to get the attention of Europe's Champions League club next season.

A Better Nigeria: What the Government must do to end food crises

What is wrong with Nigeria and its people? A sane question most people have asked for decades but little have figured out the problems. Those who have the amicable solution and well placed in positions to truly effect change are either been rigged out, threatened or even killed.   Tragic you would say, but there's more to the complex web of Nigeria's challenges and food crises is one of them which the incumbent president must deal with immediately.  Before taking over the mantle of leadership, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu made a series of promises and swiftly took action by removing fuel subsidy in his first day in office. Taking that action was bold and cold because no alternative was given.  The effect was an immediate increase in fuel which resulted in an increase in the cost of transportation of both perishable and imperishable goods. Businesses which where reliant on generators for power packed up while well established businesses were forced to retrench workers or pa...

4 Reasons Why Kylian Mbappe must join Liverpool rather than Real Madrid

For most players, Real Madrid and Barcelona are dream clubs to play for but they're also a lot of negatives that must be taken into account before making the move.  A typical example is Eden Hazard who is arguably the greatest player in Chelsea history and one of the best players in Premier League history. It was a very bad decision to switch from Chelsea to Real Madrid and the player has clearly admitted. Hazard retired at the age of 32.  Kylian Mbappe is without doubt a super player but, he needs to understand that Liverpool offers him a better chance to reach his full potential than Real Madrid and here are the reasons why: A. The Premier League is more competitive than La Liga and Liverpool is the best place for him - Apart from Barcelona, Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid, most people don't even bother watching other Spanish teams in the La Liga except their competing in the Champions League, Europa League or the Conference League. Kylian Mbappe needs to join Liverpool a te...

One trick pony: How Manchester City star Erling Haaland can be stopped

When it comes to consistency of goals scored, no other striker delivers like Manchester City superstar Erling Haaland. The Norwegian's an extraordinary player, a poacher of goals that should be the model for future strikers.  The Norwegian star is currently the quickest player in Premier League history to score 50 league goals, shattering Andrew Cole's previous record by 17 games after scoring the opening goal in Manchester City's 1-1 draw with Liverpool.  His conversion rate is bone chilling and definitely worrisome for opposition coaches who always seems confused on what must be done to stop Haaland. Stopping the 23-year-old is hard but possible.  Fact; Haaland do not score goals outside the 18-yard box. Since joining Manchester City from Borrusia Dortmund, Haaland has only managed to shoot 10 times outside the box and scored just once.  Why? He is an instinctive goal poacher whose short burst opens up space for him to shoot accurately to goal. His biggest strength...
