Newcastle gaffer Eddie Howe don look him backline and e talk say, “Wetin be dis we dey play? We need person wey go gree die for defence.” Na so dem go knock for Marseille door make dem price Leonardo Balerdi.
The 25-year-old Argentinian na one correct defender wey sabi mark, clear ball like say na stone, and e sabi command backline like soldier wey just chop kpomo. Word wey dey street be say Balerdi too dey interested in Premier League waka, and dem talks dey go well. If deal click, Balerdi go be serious gaddem for Premier League attackers.
But as dem dey toast Balerdi with sweet Premier League music, another person wey dem dey eye just carry face like say dem thief e meat.
Anthony Elanga Say “I No Dey Follow Una Play!”
Newcastle say make dem add speed to dem wing like Yahoo boy wey dey run from EFCC, so dem go knock Nottingham Forest door to collect Swedish jet – Anthony Elanga.
Elanga na one of dem wingers wey dey fly like breeze. If you blink, you go miss am. But when Newcastle drop offer for table, Nottingham Forest look am, carry the paper go backyard and burn am. Dem talk say, “Na small money be dis. You wan carry our boy free?”
Forest no gree at all! Elanga wey shine last season with dem fast runs and goals, dey too important to dem setup. Dem say if Newcastle no come correct, make dem carry dem scout go look somewhere else. Wahala be like bicycle.
What’s Next for Newcastle?
So now, e be like say Newcastle dey 50/50. One leg for Balerdi, one leg hang for air as Elanga deal don hit brake. But one thing clear – Newcastle serious die. Dem wan shake Premier League this season.
Dem don already get players like Isak, Bruno Guimarães, and Trippier, but if dem fit add better defender like Balerdi, na wahala for attackers. But for Elanga matter, unless dem increase the money and maybe throw in suya and Fanta, that boy no dey move.
Fans Don Dey Vex Small Small
Newcastle fans don start dey para for X (Twitter). One fan talk say:
“If we no sign Balerdi or Elanga, make we just dey play 5-a-side next season. Na so so eye service!”
Another one tweet:
“Why Elanga dey form? Abeg he never win Ballon d’Or na. Come play for Toon jare!”
Na Who Go Gree Come?
Transfer window still dey open, and anything fit happen. Newcastle still fit snap up Balerdi sharp sharp and maybe turn eye give another winger if Elanga no dey available. But one thing dey sure – dem fans dey wait make dem club sign ballers wey go shake Premier League.
So, as we dey talk am for pidgin:
“Newcastle dey find defenders, Forest dey find who go gree price. Na market we dey. Make dem price well or waka comot!”
