Some of us have believed that Chelsea's No 9 shirt is jinxed. I don't understand why João Pedro is accepting it! 😭
Hey @grok, how successful were Chelsea strikers that wore the No 9 shirt in the last 20 decades?

🚨Michael Owen on Manchester United calling off the Ederson transfer despite pursuing Carlos Baleba with an ankle injury:
🎙️ Reporter: “Michael, some people are questioning why Manchester United walked away from Ederson because of an injury but are still willing to pursue Carlos Baleba, who also has an ankle problem. What’s the difference?”
🗣️ Michael Owen: “The difference is what Manchester United knew and when they knew it. From what I understand, Atalanta and Ederson did not give United the full picture about the injury. United believed they were negotiating for a player who was ready to contribute, only to discover the seriousness of the problem later. They felt they were being asked to spend huge money on a player who could potentially miss close to six months.
“With Baleba, it’s completely different. Manchester United are fully aware of the ankle injury and have been assessing the situation throughout the summer. He has had time to recover, and the expectation is that he would only miss a few weeks rather than half a season. United aren’t being surprised by anything here.
“So this isn’t United ignoring an injury because they desperately want Baleba. It is about risk and transparency. If you hide the extent of an injury and then expect a club to spend a fortune, you have a problem. If the club knows exactly what it is dealing with and believes the player can recover quickly, that is a completely different decision.
“United are protecting themselves. Ederson was potentially a six-month problem; Baleba is viewed as a short-term setback. There is a huge difference between the two.”

Jay-Jay Okocha: “Ronaldo is just a goalscorer, like Haaland."
This might be the dumbest take I’ve heard from someone with such a supposedly “legendary status”... a “national treasure” whose biggest contribution to Nigerian youths these days seems to be BetKing adverts. 😭
At 26, Ronaldo was already a Balon d’or winner and Champions League winner and he wasn’t just scoring. He was an elite dribbler, creator, playmaker, free-kick taker, aerial threat and football’s biggest clutch player.
Haaland is an incredible goalscorer who depends heavily on top creative midfielders, but saying Ronaldo was simply “like Haaland” is football terrorism.
And Mr. Betking himself ?
0 world cup goals, 0 world cup assists, 0 UCLs, 0 league title, 0 Ballon d’ors and 0 CAF African Player of the Year awards. Nigeria's greatest talent and still couldn't win it... Even his own career couldn't match the standards he's using to judge Ronaldo. His cousin brother Iwobi is better than him.
You can have Messi as your GOAT. Nobody cares.
But trying to diminish Ronaldo to validate your choice ? We wouldn't take that!
