How will you know about Finidi since you are so daft to know that he's still alive.
Its not your fault, I put the blame on ASUU

.ewooo! Thank you my brother. I am fully not aware of this. Heeei. I am now ok. buh! Did chelsea go when they won the FA CUP. Just asking.

Rossikk:

The comparison is more about similar playing style/comportment. They both play on the right and close to the wing so their roles are not that dissimilar. I even think Efe should be thinking of playing a more forward role since he seems a lot more effective coming forward. He's wasted in defence in my view.
There is nothing similar in their style of play. This is the worst comparison I have seen in a long time and to think it hits the front page makes it more absurd

Sorry, who's this Efe Ambrose?
Re: Is Efe Ambrose The New Finidi George? by chucky234(m): 9:49pm On Oct 03, 2013
No sane man will ever compare Ambrose to Finidi,Efe lack flexibility as a defender.
Finidi was a world class player and helped Ajax won the UEFA CL in 1995 as well as the toyota cup(now world club cup).
He is presently coaching a second division side in Spain and that underlines his many qualities,Efe will never be as good as Finid George.

England gets 3 Europa league slots,
1. FA Cup winner
2. League cup winner(carling cup)
3. Fifth in the League table

It is absurd to compare both player b4 efe we've had Tijani babangida, pius ikedia non of them can be compared to finidi. Their was a time finidi was regarded as the best '7' in the world ahead of beckham.

You should be comparing Victor Moses to Finidi. Or even Musa. If anyone is likely to reach the heights of Finidi, then it is Moses. But he has a long way to go.

markucluj: he is still verrry young
rasojie: He is still young, still has time to be even better than finidi.
are u two trying to be sarcastic or what?

dyomo: This comparison is quite ridiculous. Finidi was a world class winger during his days. At a time,he was voted the best number 7 in the world ahead of David Beckham. Ambrose is a defender,and not a particularly good one. So I can't actually see anything to compare in both players.
Finally someone with brain.
I don't hate Ambrose, but he is an average player for crying out loud!!,
Finidi on the other hand was a world class old-fashioned right winger, he hugged his touchline and wipe in inch-perfect crosses after crosses, a regular goal scorer, scoring a career total of 74 goals(as an Old-fashion wide midfielder) he made the right wing his own in the famous Ajax 1995 team, a team that boosts of the likes of Marc Overmars, Martijn Reuser, Frank Rijkaard, Clarence Seedorf, Ignacio Tuhuteru, John van den Brom,Nordin Wooter, in their midfield. Op don't be silly

He is not an ''average'' player. There is no ''average'' player in the Super Eagles starting 11. Your sniffy analysis will change after they reach the semis in Brazil 2014.

Blah blah blah... We are talking of ''new'', and ''new'' cannot have a retinue of success and awards such as you're reeling out, so this is all irrelevant.

Where is the resemblance ......
Re: Is Efe Ambrose The New Finidi George? by seniwellsFX: 11:57pm On Oct 03, 2013
People can be very funny sometimes. How can any good football lover compare efe ambrose to the grate finidi George. Finidi was like a professional tailor in his days. His passes were well tailored and measured to his teammates that he was awarded the world best #7. Efe is just a regular defender still building his game. Note: they don't even play the same position. Comparing them shows the poster never watched finidi play.

Err... I did ''watch Finidi play'' thank you! Players do not have to ''play the same position'' before you can compare them, if you know your football. They both play on the right, and Ambrose likes to bomb forward, so there is basis for comparison. If you can't see the similarity in both players' styles say so and move on, and zip the snide remarks.

Your reasoning is very shallow
Analysis is baseless and your arguement doesn't hold water.
Comparing an average defender to a world class attacker.

Pick five World class right back, let me see If Efe will make the list
