I dey usually pity all these young guys wey dey find Sugar Mummy paro. They don't know what they're getting into.
You go think say fuck sweet, until you're being paid for it.. E go come turn work.
It's a whole different level of nacks..

Bukayo Saka started his career as a leftback and now he plays as a Rightwinger.
Gareth Bale started his career playing as a leftback at Tottenham and ended up being converted as a Winger that can play across all attacking fronts.
So, Patrick Dorgu is no different. Patrick Dorgu isn’t born to play as a leftback and his best position is on the wings (left wing or right wing), where he beats players by simple one two combinations with his teammates or speed.
Bale isn’t known for his dribbles but for his speed and ability to pop in spaces and combine play with his teammates on the counterattack and same applies to Patrick Dorgu.
Carrick Mistake and undoing will be playing Patrick Dorgu as a leftback instead of a winger.
You don’t win Premier League titles without elite centre-backs. Rio and Vidić proved it.
When Rio and Vidić played together, clean sheets felt inevitable. Premier League titles soon followed, that was the foundation.
Even Gabriel and Saliba in current times showed that solid centerback pairing can win you the league.
Manchester United hasn’t had that in a very long time, and we concede a lot of amount of goals.
Our attack is solid, and now we building our midfield but we are neglecting our defence and that will cost us.
Maguire is slow to offer, Martinez is mostly injured and has fitness issues, De ligt has injury issues, Yoro and Heaven are are young and Carrick don’t trust them.
To dominate the league, a partnership must be built that understands each other and create dominance at the back.
Now that Cucurella is available for £50M and wants to leave Chelsea, it changes the conversation on signing Lewis Hall who is £70M.
Cucurella is a steal for £50M and far better player than Lewis hall.
Thoughts of him and Martinez riling up opposition in defence will be mental and he is solid leftback.
Bring him to United.
Manchester United are looking to sign either Maxi Araujo from sporting Lisbon or Lewis hall from Newcastle to play as Leftback.
Maxi Araujo reminds me of Alex telles, so I will keep off.
Lewis hall will always be the better option and coupled with the fact that he is premier league proven player. He should be first choice.
Sir Alex Ferguson always signed the best even if they were expensive not cheap.
We spent huge money to sign Sesko cause he is the best and can be the best and he has elevated our attack.
We need to bring out huge money also and sign the best midfielder Elliot Anderson cause he will elevate our midfield.
Angelo Stiller, Carlos Baleba and Matheus Fernandes are now looking like the 3 likely signings Manchester United will go for this summer.
Elliot Anderson is going to Manchester City.
Adam Wharton is likened to Kobbie Mainoo.
Sandro Tonali wages will be too high.
Angelo stiller cost £40M.
Carlos Baleba coast £70M &
Matheus Fernandes will cost £50M.
These three have massive potentials but for the DM position, these young lads don’t cut the bill.
Experience is needed in that role, and someone with leadership, bite, physicality, agility and also good on the ball and off the ball with positional awareness.
Jim Thwaites is making a case to inherit Bruno’s creative throne and be the successor of Bruno.
JIM THWAITES is regarded as a Paul Scholes regen and likened to Pedri, and having a play style of Beckham and better than Adam Wharton.
Jim Thwaites is a creative midfielder, a No 8, a box to box midfielder, Known for excellent passing range, close control, set-piece ability; scoring crazy freekicks for fun and has great vision. He is a link between the defense and the attack.
This kid, groomed properly under Bruno would in no time take the responsibility of being United creative monster when Bruno is gone.
Jim Thwaites is born to replace Bruno.
Under Amorim;
Bryan Mbeumo 7 goals and 2 assists
Amad diallo 2 goals and 2 assists
Matheus Cunha 6 goals and 1 assist.
Sesko 2 goals and 0 assist. (Went on injury)
Under Carrick.
Bryan Mbeumo 2 goals and 1 assist
Amad diallo 0 goal and 0 assist
Matheus Cunha 3 goals and 1 assist
Benjamin Sesko 7 goals and 1 assist.
Under Ruben Amorim, everyone was a contributor, it was more of a team performance cause there is a system of play.
Under Michael Carrick, some players are left out, it's more of individual performance and Bruno is back to being our only source of creativity.
We are going into next season, without Casemiro set piece threat, goals which had saved us points.
Carrick has made our attackers look lost in his no style of play, instead of our attackers to be firing and being creators and goal scorers, they more like a dummy waiting for Bruno ball.
Manchester United fans begging for Ederson like they didn’t spend years complaining about Fred.
Ederson is basically Fred with better PR and Serie A tax. United fans spent years begging to upgrade from Fred, only to circle back to Fred 2.0 in ederson.
Ederson is just Fred with more power, calmer ball carrying, and stronger duel presence.
Ederson isn’t a pure holding midfielder (DM) just like Fred but Ederson’s size and athleticism make him look more suited to deeper roles.
Also ederson nature sees him roam a lot and that can be a disadvantage cause, it ends up vacating the midfield and leaves spaces behind.
REASON WHY CARRICK WILL FAIL;
irrespective of Carrick not having a style of play and tactics, new signings time of adaptation and adjustments either to the league, style of football, teammates and country will affect him.
Carrick couldn’t integrate new signings at Middlesbrough talk more of United.
So Even if you back Carrick with incredible signings, he will still fail.
Every player has an adaptation period before they pick (unless you’re Ronaldo and Bruno who can hit the ground running)
Sesko missed a lot of chances under Amorim that would have won us games because he was adapting to the league, his teammates movements and needed Bruno guidance.
Mbeumo was called fat and needed time to adapt to the squad before he started scoring likewise Cunha.
Dorgu was called shit/dogpoo until Amorim played him as RW and he started finding his form as a winger and Carrick played him on the LW.
Lammens was introduced in the right game in order not to put pressure on him.
Same for cunha etc.
The midfielders that united will buy will need an adaptation period which will highly affect how we play (Liverpool are good examples of what new signings and adaptation period looks like).
Our midfield without Casemiro leadership and experience and defense is shaky even when he is on the pitch some teams find it easy to play through us.
Without a solid tactics in the midfield set up Carrick will be so exposed next season.
Adaptation period will affect our season like it did Amorim with ( cunha, Mbeumo, Dorgu, Sesko), like it did ole (Ronaldo, Sancho, etc) and Arne slot Liverpool ( Isak, ekitike, Kerkez, frimpong) etc.
If the moral goes down from there, it will keep getting worse and worse.
Data comparing Casemiro to these list of players and showing which player to buy as a DM and is a better Defensive midfielder;
• Aurelien Tchouameni
• Carlos Baleba
• Joao Gomes
• Adam Wharton
• Angelo Stiller

Ruud Van Nistelrooy has a short good interim spell at Manchester United and got the Leicester city coaching job and was sacked and Michael Carrick path is no different.
Handling an interim position is way different from being the permanent manager. As an interim winning is all that matters but as a permanent manager;
• How you win matters a lot and scrappy wins won’t be tolerated.
• Style of play matters.
• Consistency matters.
• Managing egos and personality matters. Etc.
These are factors Ruud Van Nistelrooy suffered at Leicester City and was sacked and these are factors Carrick will encounter too.
(Fletcher, Ruud Van Nistelrooy and Carrick thinks it’s by dressing up like Sir Alex Ferguson until reality hit them in the face)
