THE WORLD WOULD'VE BEEN A BORING PLACE IF NOT WOMEN

No. Women are companions. They're their men's pride and joy, therefore, not "dangerous people". But if you do not manage them well from the onset, they will turn out amiss to you.

A week ago, I was in Diamond Bank for a TSA transaction, and I heard two other bank customers arguing on the nature of women. I heard one of them say: " women are terrible creatures " O my God! I waded-in immediately and corrected that ugly impression. I told them that only 'real' men understands the nature of women. And if they do, then they treat them accordingly.

You don't have to call women"dangerous " or, "terrible" creatures. Never!
You must realize that they're just living-out their nature, thus, the hugest burden is on you to always control emotions and impulse and understand them. And when you do, then peace is assured.

A man who treats his woman disdainfully, has unknowingly denied himself her God-given wonderful potentials.

If you understand the concept of human existence, you can't hold the view that women are "the most dangerous weapons" to live with. Rather, you would appreciate their companionship. You would realize that the world would've been a boring place if they're not with us.

I'm not just an advocate for women's rights, but for gender equality and coexistence.

I have held this position since my existence, that any man who abuses women physically, emotionally or sexually, is a coward. And it is immaterial the gravity of the provocation done on the person.

I have realized that women are companions, and are merely living-out their nature, which a real man must understand. Hence, they are not terrible or dangerous creatures, and must not be abused or tagged so.

The United Nations Convention on the Elimination of all forms of Discrimination Against Women (CEDAW), made some important applicable recommendations. And I and my learned friend, Barr. S.C. Uchendu were opportune to participate in the review of application of its recommendations by the Nigerian government, in 2014.

Though some women are impulsive and stubborn, if you treat your woman very well, then, you would surely enjoy her sweetness. Unless you never found one who loves you.

I just think that the above misconceptions should be corrected.

DEDICATED TO ALL REAL MEN OUT THERE ; YOUR WOMAN, YOUR EVERYTHING

A 'real' man cannot love any other person more than how he loves his wife/woman. Because she's the custodian of his heart, and knows more about him than any other person.

DEDICATED TO ALL REAL MEN ; LOVE NEVER DIES, EVEN AFTER THE PARTIES HAVE COME TO CROSSROAD

More than seven decades after the end of World War II, one long-separated couple is getting a very happy Valentine’s Day.

A former U.S. paratrooper, Norwood Thomas, then 21, and Londoner Joyce Morris, then 17, met before D-Day in London and started a relationship. After the war ended, they wrote each other letters, but Thomas’s request that Morris should move to the U.S. to marry him was somehow misinterpreted, and Morris stopped writing back.

They married other people, and eventually Thomas was widowed and Morris divorced.

But last year, Morris' son helped her find Thomas on Facebook, and the pair began corresponding again.

Thanks to donations from well-wishers, Thomas, now 93, has been able to fly from Virginia to Australia to reunite with Morris, 88, for a Valentine’s Day visit.

According to Thomas, “This is about the most wonderful thing that could have happened to me,” Thomas said in a broadcast of their meeting.

And, Morris said, “We’re going to have a wonderful fortnight".

NOTE:
Sometimes we abandon our relationships (whether premarital or marital) for another one we thought would be better. But at the long run, we end-up uncomfortable.

Sometimes we leave someone who love us so much; whom we have been with for a long time, for another one who just breezed-in into our lives: thinking that that new person will be better than the other, or, on the guise that you were never meant to be, but later it turns out to be a carnal decision.

Thomas and Morris were in love, but failed to marry because Morris thought she had a better decision.
She misunderstood and rejected Thomas's marriage proposal, and settled for another. However, she divorced subsequently, while Thomas widowed.

In the above true life scenario, you will realize that they reunited after seventy years of separation.

Friends, we must be discerning when making our choices of life partner. We must be sure before we abandon our existing relationships.

There's no unforgivable ill in love-life, unless it was not love from the onset
.
Despite the ills of your partner, you must find one good reason to forgive and forget.
You must remember one good part of the person to come back.

No-one is perfect. Not even you.
Love does not run away, it stays forever.

The questions are:
Have you checked whether your new partner will be better than your Ex?
Are you just leaving with the flimsy excuse that "not all relationship leads to marriage"?
Have you just left because you think that all that glitters is gold?
Or, did you just leave because your level has changed, and you think the person is no longer your type?

You must be very sure before you shut that door.

KNOW YOUR MAN'S NEEDS TOO; KNOW WHAT YOUR MAN WANTS, NOT ONLY WHAT YOU WANT.

Sometimes, women think that they're all men got to think of. Because it's their nature; they always need attention from their men. But surprisingly, men have a lot to think of.

You want your man to always be there for you, but have you played your own part to get that? Have you been a real woman to him?
Have you been his helpmate? Have you been his soulmate, really? Have you been there for him too, when he needs you most?

You should understand that being a 'helper' does not connote being a 'slave'.
In relationship parlance, it is being an assistant, companion, advisor, etc., to the man, and does not necessarily imply inferiority.

As a woman, you should know that money is men's second companion, and not always women.
At times, when a man is unhealthy in his pocket, it may manifest in his attitudes towards his woman. That's why a woman who knows her man very well should know how to calm him down whenever he's sick in his pocket. At that condition, you don't need much of his attention, rather, he needs more of yours.

Every woman has the magic to wet the heart of her man whenever it is dry, not only when you need from him, but also when he needs you.
You don't have to always seek his attention, but also seek to sweeten his heart. Attend to him too. Because he needs you too.

Do not always wait for what your man will do for you, learn him and accord him some too.

If your man is happy, then he can't deny yours too.

However, a man who is sick in his pocket, should learn how to explain more to his woman, instead of flaring-up.
Every man must be wiser than his woman, to be able to manage issues that may arise in their relationship.

Why Swansea's New Italian Striker Will Be A Better Premier League Player Than Mario Balotelli

---

Given the recent history of players moving from Serie A to the Premier League, Swansea City supporters are right to be somewhat sceptical of their newest addition. Indeed, if the likes of Juan Cuadrado, Stevan Jovetic and, yes, even Mario Balotelli (twice) all failed to make any lasting impact despite arriving with stellar reputations, why should the much less heralded Alberto Paloschi be any different?

The simple answer is this; because he is different.

While that aforementioned trio always appeared destined for stardom, Paloschi’s career has been a study in effort, determination and serves as proof that, eventually, ability earns recognition. His talent was first identified by Milan back in 2002, joining the club as a 12-year-old and steadily progressing through the youth ranks.

Five years later his hat-trick sealed a national Under-17s title for the Rossoneri, and he was catapulted into the first team, scoring in both legs of a 2008 Coppa Italia clash with Catania. The young striker was then handed his league debut against Siena, again getting on the scoresheet as he netted with his first touch after being introduced as a second-half substitute.

“Not everyone is able to do what Paloschi did today, and scoring on your debut 18 seconds after coming on is incredible,” said then-Coach Carlo Ancelotti.  “I'm very happy for him, I think he's a predestined star with a great goal-scoring ability. He's a very determined and serious lad with the future on his side.”

His growth would continue in the club’s U-20s alongside some truly gifted team-mates, but as Milan continued to persevere with an aging side rather than believing in their youth sector, a hugely talented generation was allowed to thrive elsewhere. Seeing a photo of the squad at the Viareggio Tournament from 2008 will always leave fans of the club with regrets, the likes of Matteo Darmian, Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and Paloschi never truly given a chance in the famous red and black stripes.

All three would move on over the next twelve months, the latter joining Parma and netting a dozen goals to help the relegated side return to the top flight at the first time of asking. He did so under the watchful eye of Francesco Guidoliin, clearly making a good impression on the coach who has obviously played a major role in bringing Paloschi to Swansea recently.

Serie A would prove much tougher for the striker, filling in a variety of roles as he bounced around from Parma to Genoa and eventually Chievo, at times returning to the wing position he had played earlier in his career. Scoring just 19 goals over 82 appearances, the 2013/14 campaign would see everything click into place for Paloschi, netting a career high fifteen times in all competitions as he finally became a regular part of the starting XI.

He has been the club’s leading scorer ever since, averaging a goal every three games for a side perpetually battling relegation, Chievo finishing 16^th and 14^th in the past two seasons and currently sitting in 11^th place. The 26-year-old has done so on minimal service, with only Georginio Wijnaldum (40) of Newcastle and Milan’s Carlos Bacca (40) taking fewer shots than Paloschi (42) among all Premier League or Serie A players to score at least eight goals this term.

It may come as no surprise to learn he grew up idolising Filippo Inzaghi – even convincing his parents to name his younger brother after the former Italy international – and he is now hitting the target with similar accuracy. But Paloschi is anything but a one-dimensional poacher as Chievo boasted Serie A’s fourth-meanest defence last year, that effort beginning up front as he diligently pressed opponents and worked hard to protect those behind him.

Indeed, without his efforts the side are extremely easy to open up, suffering their heaviest defeat of the current campaign this past weekend in their first match after his move. As a player he is never going to skip past defenders with a display of skill of lightening pace, but works as hard as any midfielder while still getting into the penalty area where he truly thrives.

He rarely scores from distance, netting only once from outside the box over the past three seasons, yet at close range he is surprisingly versatile. While 19 of his last 30 goals have come via his preferred right boot, he has also notched six with his left and – despite standing just 1.83 m (6 ft) tall – five headers as he excels at finding space between defenders.

It may take a few matches to get used to the demanding nature of the Premier League, but Chievo play a much more robust style than most Serie A clubs so he certainly has an advantage and is fully aware of the need to prove he deserves an opportunity. “The big clubs want players who are ready because they always have to win,” he once told La Gazzetta dello Sport, “but some of us need go on a bit of a journey before showing our best.”

That journey has now taken him to South Wales, a vastly different environment than many of his peers, but Alberto Paloschi gives the impression he wouldn’t have it any other way.

Alex Teixeira assures Liverpool fans he’ll sign for us in the summer instead

---

Liverpool didn’t do anything in the transfer market yesterday, unable to even ship Jose Enrique out of the club!
Fans were hoping we’d be able to agree a fee with Shakhtar Donetsk for Alex Teixeira, but it wasn’t to be – with Jurgen Klopp indicating via the Daily Mail that Liverpool would not be held to ransom by clubs during transfer negotiations.

“We made offers, I won’t say too much about that, but they were realistic, absolutely, with the premium of it being January, the Premier League, all the plusses you have when you make negotiations,” he said.

“But it was a case of, ‘If you don’t want it, OK, we can’t change the situation, both for now and the future’.

“It’s not that we haven’t got money or anything, but you have to work respectfully and responsibly. That’s what we do.We will do things, for sure. Not in this window, but we will. It is like it is and it’s not you should buy and sell, buy and sell.”

Despite Klopp’s comments, the 26-year-old Brazilian has not given up on his dream of making a switch to Anfield.

Teixeira posted this snapchat story yesterday, telling fans ‘Not today. But in the summer. #LFC’

You have to feel sorry for the player, who openly pined after a Liverpool move ever since news broke of our first bid.

He liked photos of himself wearing the red shirt on Instagram, and gave an interview in which he declared his desire to switch.

Whether or not Teixeira’s comments indicate that a summer transfer is already lined up, or just that he’d like it to happen, is of course uncertain.

But we’d assume that with five months before the window opens again, Liverpool will go back to the drawing board.

Liverpool Injury Boost As Star Returns To Light Training Ahead Of Schedule

Liverpool have been handed a major injury boost with the news that Danny Ings has been given permission to return to light training today, according to the Liverpool Echo.
Ings has been on the sidelines since suffered an anterior cruciate ligament injury during Jurgen Klopp’s first training session when he took over from Brendan Rodgers back in October 2015.

The 23-year-old underwent surgery to repair the knee and was subsequently ruled out for the rest of the Premier League season, making it highly unlikely the striker would be able to force his way in to Roy Hodgson’s Euro 2016 squad.
However, Ings has now given Liverpool and his country and major boost with the Liverpool Echo reporting that the former Burnley hitman has been given the green light to step-up his rehabilitation programme.
The newspaper carries quotes from Klopp confirming Ings will move from the gym to light training outside at Melwood today as he looks to make a return to action ahead of schedule.
Klopp is quoted as saying:

“I had lunch with Ingsy a few minutes ago,” Klopp said.
“He’s not in the perfect way, but Tuesday will be his first time outside again.
“He’s still a long way away from being available but he’s here.”

Obviously there is still a long way to go before Ings will be in any condition to return to the first team set-up but it’s positive news that the striker is set to work outside on the training pitch again.
As long as his rehabilitation continues to go smoothly and he doesn’t suffer any setbacks, there is no reason why Ings shouldn’t be back playing again before the end of the season and his return will be a welcome one for Klopp.
The German coach failed to sign a striker during the transfer window and with Daniel Sturridge sidelined with his own injury woes and Christian Benteke struggling to adapt to Klopp’s style of play, the Reds have been forced to rely on Roberto Firmino as a ‘false 9′ up front.
Ings settled in well at Anfield following his summer move from Burnley and scored three goals in his eight appearances before he suffered his injury, so Klopp will be desperate for him to get back to full fitness as soon as possible.

Winners & losers of the January transfer window

Leaving Real Madrid for Valencia an easy decision - Cheryshev

The Chinese Super League has emerged as a major financial power over the past month, Roma cleared plenty of dead wood, but Barcelona's pursuit of Nolito was embarrassing

---

---

The January transfer window slammed shut on Monday after another month of ups and downs for the game's top players and clubs. Below, Goal picks out three winners and three losers from the latest comings and goings across the globe.

Do you agree with our selection? As ever, feel free to air your thoughts in the comment section!

---

WINNERS: CHINA

---

The staggering sums of money spent by Chinese clubs has been the most interesting aspect of an otherwise dull January transfer window. The most high-profile deals were for Fredy Guarin, Gervinho and Ramires. Of course, the fees involved dominated the headlines, with Colombia international Guarin joining Shanghai Greenland Shenhua for €13 million, Hebei China Fortune paying Roma €18m for Cote d'Ivoire attacker Gervinho and Jiangsu Suning splashing €28m on Ramires, the Brazil international who played a key role in Chelsea's 2012 Champions League triumph.

However, what is really significant is that all three players are under 30. The Chinese Super League has effectively managed to persuade three footballers to leave Europe while still in their prime years. It would be premature to suggest that we are witnessing a sudden and dramatic shift in power within the global game but Chinese clubs have shown in spectacular fashion that they have the financial muscle to become major players in the transfer market.

Indeed, the greatest demonstration of their burgeoning wealth is the fact that not only does the Chinese Super League rank second only to the Premier League in terms of money spent this winter, the country's second tier, China League One, sits fourth in the standings - above both the Bundesliga (5th) and La Liga (6th)!

---

WINNERS: LEICESTER CITY

---

The major fear among Leicester City supporters - and lovers of fairytales everywhere - was that Claudio Ranieri's men had actually performed too well during the first half of the season and that they would be the subject of massive bids during the January window. Thankfully, despite widespread interest in the sensational exploits of star strikers Jamie Vardy and Riyad Mahrez, as well as midfielder N'Golo Kante, the Foxes have managed to hold on to all of their key players.

There is some disappointment at the failure to add another attacker, with Eder having opted to join Inter rather than Leicester after both clubs had bids accepted for the former Sampdoria forward. But Ranieri will be nonetheless delighted, given his table-topping squad has still been strengthened by the additions of Daniel Amartey and Demarai Gray, from Copenhagen and Birmingham City, respectively.

All things considered, with Leicester having retained the services of their key protagonists, this remarkable story could easily have a very happy ending.

---

WINNERS: ROMA

---

Roma could perhaps have done with a few more quality signings but as an exercise in clearing out the dead wood, their January was an unqualified success. Gervinho had his moments during his time at the Stadio Olimpico but making a €10m profit on such a maddeningly inconsistent performer cannot be considered anything other than an excellent piece of business. Furthermore, replacing the Ivorian with Stephan El Shaarawy, who has arrived on loan from Milan for €1.4m with a view to a permanent move in the summer for €13m, already looks like a masterstroke, with the Italian having netted a spectacular scorpion-kick on his Giallorossi debut at the weekend.

The capital club have also managed to get three money-sapping flops off their hands. Bournemouth and Newcastle have taken Juan Iturbe and Seydou Doumbia on loan, respectively, while the Giallorossi are no longer paying the wages of the Ashley Cole impersonator they signed on a free transfer 18 months ago. The former England international terminated his contract with the club and has now joined the LA Galaxy.

---

LOSER: VICTOR VALDES

---

Victor Valdes is a wealthy man with a model for a partner and three Champions League winners' medals. He needs neither our sympathy nor our pity. However, there was something quite sad about seeing the world and European champion trudging along a muddy path to a run-down dressing room in Heverlee on Saturday to get ready for his Standard Liege debut. It just seems like a dreadful waste of experience.

Valdes, of course, is happy just to have finally got away from Manchester United boss Louis van Gaal. As he wrote on Instagram after helping his new club earn a 2-0 win over Oud-Heverlee Leuven: "[I'm] so happy [to] play again after eight months working alone."

However, it is shocking that Valdes, who has only just turned 34, is now plying his trade for a mid-table Belgian team. Of course, he could yet earn a move to a more illustrious league come the end of his six-month loan deal with Standard but how Valdes must now regret leaving Barcelona in the summer of 2014.

---

LOSERS: BARCELONA

---

Joan Laporta labelled Barcelona's attempt to sign Paul Pogba from Juventus last year as "ridiculous", "a failure" that made the Catalans "look bad". One can only imagine what the former club president made of January's pursuit of Celta ace Nolito.

The Blaugrana's interest in the Spain international was understandable. However, their offer for the former Barca B team player was utterly nonsensical. For some reason, the European champions believed that Celta, who are chasing Champions League football, would be willing to allow their best player to move to Camp Nou on loan for the remainder of the season - for no fee. Barca even thought Celta would be touched by the offer to return Nolito to Galicia if he failed to settle into Luis Enrique's squad.

Celta unsurprisingly baulked at Barca's bid, making it clear that the forward would only leave Balaidos if a club agreed to meet his €18m buy-out clause. Given the world and European champions simply don't have that kind of money right now, the proposed deal was always doomed to fail.

Consequently, the Catalans were unable to provide Luis Enrique with the attacking cover he so desperately desired. Bizarrely, Barca seem more adept at signing players while banned from doing so!

---

LOSERS: EXCITEMENT-SEEKERS

---

It says everything about the tedious nature of the January transfer window that the most interesting thing to happen on deadline day was the belated confirmation of the worst-kept secret in football: Pep Guardiola will replace Manuel Pellegrini as Manchester City boss at the end of the season. There really was little else to get excited about on what is supposed to be a day of dramatic deals.

However, it became quite clear by the midway point of the January window that there would be no major transfers among Europe's elite clubs. Even Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid remained calm, refusing to be rushed into panic-buys when it initially seemed that they would be banned from signing players for the next two windows.

Still, the summer promises far more intrigue, with the news that Guardiola is bound for the Etihad having already sparked giddy talk of the likes of Lionel Messi and Paul Pogba arriving at Eastlands. In addition, City's numerous cash-rich rivals will also doubtless be scared into making major moves at the end of the season, as the best coach in the world taking charge of one of the wealthiest clubs in the world means that the bar is about to be raised. Let's hope the excitement levels are too when the window reopens in a few months' time.

FEAR OF FAILURE

Fear of failure has killed and buried so many destinies.Not failure but a low aim is a crime,failure is no disgrace. Play it safe. People never wins the applause and respect of others, they never do anything to merit congratulations. Failure can be fruitful, it can teach you value, patience, compassion and humilty. 

Failure may be the greatest thing that can happen to you and also used as base for a new beginning. Spectators don't wear medals. Put away what people will say;and pursue your dreams!!

SAVINGS IN MARRIAGE MAKES THE DIFFERENCE

This funny but expository topic came into my mind after I saw my neighbour spending fortunes with friends on drinks, I muffled to myself that this man eats without saving; few minutes later I heard his wife saying " Honey you eat the worth of today and tomorrow without thinking of the next day"
 
Then I smiled and applauded myself for being a careful observer. The fact is that most families run into debts simply because they don't know how to control their spending. They often spend before they reason instead of doing the latter first. Some spend or buy things because they saw their neighbour(s) bought a particular thing.
 
Some shop without premeditation/ proper planning prior to. Some have even failed to control child birth because its free to an extent.
Well inorder not to make this piece an elaborate one, please kindly learn to plan properly before you spend. Plan with your partner before you buy or spend a penny; that's why you are married for crying out loud. You shouldn't be doing things in an isolation like a single.
 
It counts when you learn to draw out budget each month in relation to your daily/monthly earnings. Uncontrolled child bearing is one of the easiest way of running your family into debts. Please learn to have self control so you don't run into debts such that wishing to fake your death becomes your next option.
A word is enough for the wise. Be wise because there is global economic melt-down.

DO YOU KNOW WHY THE CHILDREN OF THE POOR SOMETIMES REMAIN POOR/POORER THAN THEIR PARENT AND THE CHILDREN OF THE RICH GET RICHER?

Its very easy to think along the plain that the children of poor parents get poor or sometimes poorer owing to the fact that they have nothing to inherit order than old iron/wooden bed, moulded house most times single room. Old and outdated stereo.
 
Well, careful study have made me reasoned outside the plain the possible causes of poverty aside those imposed on us by our selfish leaders. I have come to terms with fact that the mentality of poor people is simply the reason why they are poor.
 
If you hear some nonsense coming out from the mouth of some people, you will agree with me that they can't grow or manage big things.
Do you know that your philosophy, belief and attitude to life is the main determinant of your financial status? Clear example is
 
1) someone believing that having plenty children he can't take care of is the secret key to wealth, because they often believe that the senior will en slave his/her life for others to succeed.
 
2) some poor parents donot believe in child spacing, they often believe that its wiser to have all the kids they want as soon as possible as if its a competition to bear kids. Then after which they start training them. Contrary, a wise man will ponder on having a kid now, space the next one, to allow him and his wife save enough to take care of the first one before having the second one.
 
3) Poor people often rely on help from their fellow men, forgetting that everybody has his/her own cross. They often believe that God will use one messiah to elevate them, because of this singular fact, they fail to start small.
One thing is real, once you are diligent with the small, you shall be able to manage a bigger biz.
 
4) some poor people are scared to fail. They often fear failing to the extent that they remain failures.
 
The fact is, if you are scared of failing it simply means that you are scared of succeeding.
 
Learn to plan, failing to plan simply means planning to fail. Plan the number of kids you want to have in relation to your basic income. Don't exceed your plan. Don't be cadjored into living another man's life.
 
Be blessed my people.

ALWAYS BE GRATEFUL BY LIZA PAVALAKOS

When I was 16 and homeless, I look back and reflect about how I felt.
I had a few friends around me, till today, I call them my best friends and if they are reading this article today, they know EXACTLY who they are. My best friends couldn't be with me at all hours of the night,so the fact is, no matter how much they tried to be there,
almost most nights I felt very alone.

However, the truth is, I wasn't alone.This is because I believed in the Devine Power whom I call God. I understand that everyone has their own set of beliefs and I respect that we all believe what ever feels right in our hearts.
If it comes from a place of pure light and love, then believe in what feels right for you.

Although I was alone, I felt an energy that was always protecting me.
I continuously stumbled into hardship. It didn't matter what happened to me, I somehow was numb to the pain especially when perpetrators would hurt me. Professionals will call that numbness trauma and it most likely is, but I would call it a gift from God, for helping me get through my hardship, whilst feeling somewhat numb.

I was able to contact 24 hour counselling help lines for free in Australia, any time of the day or night and till today, I will be ever so grateful for having their support in being able to talk to someone in the late hours of the night.

I write many articles with so much passion in this area of hurt and homelessness because I believe that no matter what, we are all not alone. There is always someone in your life that loves you dearly and appreciates you, and maybe, it is you who hasn't told that one person how much you
appreciate them.
 

Even when you think there is no one there to stand by you, understand that you are still never alone, as there is a Higher Source and Devine power that is always guiding you and watching over you.

There is always something for you to be grateful for..

As Lao Tzu, Philosopher and poet from Ancient China wrote “ Be content with what you have, rejoice in the way things are, when you realize nothing is lacking, the whole world belongs to you.”

I could have become Manchester United manager, reveals Klopp

The German has confirmed he was once in the frame to take charge at Old Trafford - likely as Sir Alex Ferguson's successor - but did not want to leave Borussia Dortmund

Jurgen Klopp has revealed he was once approached to become Manchester United's new manager but did not want to leave Borussia Dortmund.
The 48-year-old will coach Liverpool against their fierce rivals for the first time on Sunday after replacing Brendan Rodgers at the helm in October.
Klopp received multiple offers after leaving Germany but was also in demand while still in charge at Dortmund, and admitted that United were one of the clubs who had expressed an interest "in April" - likely of 2013, when Sir Alex Ferguson was due to retire.
“We spoke," he told reporters. "We spoke not a lot but, for me, it was a lot. It was a big honour, the whole talk, to be honest.
"There was a time [when United were interested] but I could not leave Dortmund. That is it. You are in April and you are in the middle of the planning for next season.
"You have this player and this player and this player who is coming in but then you are not there any more? That doesn’t work. Not in my life anyway.
“I did not hear about a real offer but, if there was, I could not have done it. I first had to finish the job with Dortmund and then think about other things.
"Maybe that is not the smart way but that is my way. Of course I was loyal to Dortmund. It was the same at Mainz.”

Klopp admitted he sympathises with the scrutiny being placed on his ex-Bayern Munich counterpart Louis van Gaal amid United's run of one win in eight matches.
“The pressure [Van Gaal is under] has an effect on your whole life but, in my case, not on how I handle my team or anything like this," he stated.
"It is always the case if things don’t run the way you want – you have to think about whether to change things or not to change. Both decisions are really important.
"Life is not that nice. I know the whole world is watching football managers and thinking: ‘They are really well paid’, so no one cares about a manager’s feelings.
“I didn’t watch too much of these things at United but I heard about it. I know Louis is not too happy with the media at the moment but I think in life it is important sometimes to switch and think about how it would be on the other side.
"You would have all this money but also all this pressure so it is not nice. If you want to change things in football it is not okay that you think: ‘Bad, bad, bad – go.’
"That is not a change. If that was the solution I think Man United would have done it. But it is not a solution so they have to carry on. It is not our problem, but it is a manager’s problem. It’s not the case that the sun is shining every day as a football manager.

"It’s like with you [the media] with me when I came here. First it’s ‘yeah!’ Then it’s ‘erm’, then it might be ‘ooh’, so then I am alone on the side and we might have the same situation here."

Giroud backs 'complete' Elneny to succeed at Arsenal

The striker Olivier Giroud believes his new team-mate will prove to be a shrewd signing for the Premier League leaders, and feels the midfielder is suited to English football

Olivier Giroud is confident new signing Mohamed Elneny has what it takes to succeed at Arsenal.
The Egypt midfielder completed his move from Basel to the Emirates Stadium on Thursday and could make his debut for the Premier League leaders in this weekend's trip to Stoke City.

"I've trained with him and he's a good player, very talented. But first of all he is a good guy, I think he will settle well into the team," Giroud told Arsenal Player.
"I think he's basically a box-to-box midfielder, so he can attack and defend, run a lot and has good power and technique. He is quite a complete player.
"It always takes time to adapt to English football because there is a lot of intensity, it is very physical and even tactically you must get used to it.

 Zidane wants to beat Barca to Pogba

Zinedine Zidane wants to make Paul Pogba his first galactico signing at Real Madrid, according to reports in AS. 

The new head coach at the Santiago Bernabeu made the switch from Juventus to the Spanish capital himself in 2001 and now wants his fellow Frenchman to follow in his footsteps. 

However, it will not be a straight forward deal, as Barcelona are also keen on the midfielder. 

Ariedo Braida and Albert Soler fronted a delegation from the Catalan club which travelled to Turin last summer to talk with Juve about Pogba. 

At the time they were under a transfer ban, so were unable to push the deal through, while the club are also struggling to pay what the Serie A side want for the 22-year-old. 

Zidane has always spoken highly of Pogba, who in return has always admired the man who won the World Cup and European Championships with France. 

Madrid’s problem is that their relationship with the player’s agent, Mino Raiola, broke down when Carlo Ancelotti ruled out a move for Pogba last summer.

AS add, though, that Los Blancos would be happy to make up with Raiola in order to fulfil Zidane’s request and get one over on Barca. 

Pogba, who was named in the FIFPro Team of the Year earlier this week at the Ballon d’Or gala, has a contract with Juventus until 2019. 

 Jorge Mendes hopes Man Utd acquire Mourinho AND Gomes

Super agent Jorge Mendes wants to take both Andre Gomes and Jose Mourinho to Manchester United this summer, according to Gianlucadimarzio.com.

The former Chelsea boss is being lined up to take over from Louis van Gaal at Old Trafford, amid serious doubts over the Dutchman's future at Old Trafford.

And Valencia midfielder Gomes has now emerged as a target for the Old Trafford club, though he has also been linked with Italian club Juventus.

Valencia, however, maintain that they have no desire to offload the 22-year-old in January.

Barcelona activate Bundesliga star's €37m release clause

The Spanish champions have agreed to pay the clause for one of the brightest prospects in German football, who has also committed to a six-year contract

Barcelona have decided to pay the €37 million release clause required to sign Leroy Sane from Schalke, according to reports.

L’Equipe claim that the 20-year-old midfielder, who is also wanted by Manchester City and Real Madrid, has also agreed a six-year contract with the Spanish champions and will join them in July.

Earlier in January, Goal revealed that Schalke were using City’s interest in order to trigger a bidding war for one of the Bundesliga’s brightest prospects.

Meanwhile, despite the latest report from France, Schalke’s general manager Horst Heldt insisted on Tuesday that Sane does not have a release clause.

Arsene Wenger reveals he had to tell Jurgen Klopp to calm down during Arsenal's draw with Liverpool

The Reds boss became animated after a decision in the second-half of the 3-3 thriller and Wenger had some advice for his counterpart

 

Arsene Wenger has revealed he had to tell Jurgen Klopp to calm down during Arsenal's thrilling draw with Liverpool.
The two sides shared six goals at Anfield as Joe Allen volleyed home a dramatic equaliser for Klopp's men.
Earlier in the second-half, Wenger and Klopp appeared to be in a lengthy debate as they went in search of three points.
And the Arsenal boss has revealed the details of their discussion - and his advice for the German.
"I told him 'calm down because they will send you into the stands here'", said Wenger with a grin.
"At Liverpool, it is very tight - you are very close to each other.
"He had a little problem with the fourth official that he will explain much better than I can because I don't know why.
"It was alright, there was no bad feelings at all."

 

Bosses: Klopp and Wenger look on at Anfield

After the game, Wenger also confirmed Arsenal are closing in on the signing of Mohamed Elneny from Basel.
"Elneny will of course join us. He has joined us," said Wenger.
"We will see if he can qualify for Sunday.
