imagine wetin u Dey talk? Epl limit players how? Haven’t you seen players who moved to laliga,serie A even bundesliga and still flopped?

Wasn’t Dennis a flop at lowly rated koln but moved to epl and was a hit that season with watford? Didn’t zlatan flop at laliga with barca? Antonio Valencia was ordinary at Valencia, moved to Wigan then in the epl where he did well and attracted man united who snapped him up. Our own ighalo was below par at laliga but became a household name in then epl club watford. Mk una let pple hear word abeg 😡

Folks like you are the type that will rather remain in their comfort zone that move out to explore

If you aren’t a fan of the epl then say that rather than posting trash here
Out of 56 Ballon do'r edition, players from English teams have won it only 6 times. 5 of it was when it was given to only European players. This is what we are talking about. We want him to go where he is likely to win Ballon do'r and other accolades. We are analysing with facts and figures not emotion.

oga shove your balon d or trash down your throat

No right thinking football fan will mk such claim that the epl limit players. It takes a lot of hard work and perseverance to strive in difficult environment

Players with no name made name in the epl so keep your lame excuse that the epl limit players

If you are not a fan of the epl I respect that but telling me that epl limit players implies your are just ignorant

you are not making any point at all,only emotional outburst. I am talking about where top players are likely to become world class,I backed up with facts and figures. I expected you to come up with your own facts,but no,all emotional outburst and incoherent submission. Come up with facts and debunk and stop emotion.

The epl limit players and is rated as the best league in the world after laliga?

Not a fan of laliga because it’s boring to me except when barca is playing Madrid or atm but that won’t mk me mk such claim that the spanis top flight limits players or don’t develop players

Even your favourite players in laliga,bundesliga,serie A, ligue 1,eirdivisie etc will risk whatever it takes to play in the epl

if it doesn't limit players how come out of 56 edition of Ballon do'r they have won only 6. Is that not limitation? Think nah. You are known for missing the point and deviating. The players in EPL are seriously under achieving. No amount of insult will change that facts. Work with facts not emotion.

I think he has a point! EPL's style of play arguably does not give room for creative midfielders to excel!
The league's top teams prefer runners and shooters in midfield (there are a few exceptions; Arsene Wenger's (Arsenal) and now Mancity).
That is why none signed an Okocha/Ronaldinho. And most Brazilians have struggled not until recently.
Only Arsene Wenger's (Arsenal) and now Mancity allow creative players to thrive.
Only Ronaldo has won the Ballon in the EPL and left for Madrid immediately.

However, the lack of creative midfielders in today's football is making a lot of strikers suffer.
Most teams do not even play a creative ten again.
Most assists come from the wings nowadays. No place for a Van Nister.. or a Lukaku again.
You have to be a creative 9 like Kane/Benzema/Jesus or a skillful winger & 9 like Mpabbe/Rashford/Salah/Gakpo/Nunez/Sanchez or a fast, rapid, jumper, instinctive 9 like Oshimen/Vlahovic or a predator like Haaland/Kolo/Moffi

Strikers that convert their chances to goals. The pass Nwakali gave Sadiq that sadiq failed to score against Tunisia in the nations cup.

S.E needs strikers that score 1 in 2 chances they get not 1 in 8 chances.

Spain have a good midfield but poor goalscoring strikers.

S.E has good goalscoring strikers that are not been invited and good midfielders that are also not been invited.
Oga Nwakali did not play against Tunisia so no way he passed to Sadiq against Tunisia.

You will all regret clamoring for Pinnick removal. At least Pinnick speaks to the media.
This new Aboki just be like ghost. Na one chance the SE dey.

Advocating for Pinnick's removal was a call for someone far better, not for someone worse. Must we suffer with mediocre's to please people. Pinnick was atrocious. This current people being worse does not make Pinnick's tenure good.

Modric was sensational for Tottenham Hotspur. Grealish was outstanding before Manchester City. I also think Mount really played well in recent years.

Nevertheless, Tottenham to me is not a top team!
Grealish was not a creative 10 at Aston Villa. He is a winger!

Guinea Bissau doesn't spell like Tunisia, what he writes is what a lot of us will read. And yes Sadiq missed a chance created by Nwakali against GB.

I am talking about the match Iwobi got red card. It was definitely against Tunisia.

I remember Sadiq been 1 on 1 with the Tunisian keeper and missing the target. I think it was olayinka that gave him the through pass against Tunisia.

But I know he also missed 1 on 1 from Nwakali through pass in the nations cup.

World Cup or no World Cup, osimehn deserve to be the next APOY. Yes, he flopped vs Ghana and failed to qualify us for the World Cup while Moroccans were exceptional at that World Cup. But, APOY is an individual award not a team award and you will notice that Moroccans had an overall Quality team with no players being exceptional higher than anyone. In addition to that, can you say that Hakimi, amrabat, ziyech, ounahi has had a better 2022/23 season than Osimehn? NO. Also, APOY is an individual award and not a Team award.. I have analyzed all the top African players this season and Osimehn has been the best and he rightfully deserves APOY. Hakimi (World class player) winning APOY ahead of osimehn will be an equivalent of Cafu, Daniel Alves winning Balon d’or ahead of George weah or even Cristiano in their prime

Pinnick is gone, but the consequences of his tenure is still with us hence the constant mention of his name.

Many of the archaic measures the NFF is coming up with now is a consequence of Pinnick's mismanagement. For instance, players across board (super eagles, falcons and all age grade teams) are still being owed years of bonuses and allowances.

Pinnick appointed foreign coaches with ridiculous inflated contracts that he knew the NFF couldn't pay. Gernot Rohr was being paid $40k+ monthly, guess what he earns in Benin Republic now? $20k. Pinnick signed a $75k monthly contract with Peisero when he knew the NFF was broke. He signed a stupid deal with a part time coach on Waldrum, now the NFF can't sack him cause they don't have the money to pay him off. It's the reason he'll take the Falcon's to the world cup despite his shambolic performances.

None of the assistant coaches of the national teams have a contract. Pinnick doesn't have one with them. Even the bonuses they were promised haven't been paid cause the NFF doesn't have money. It's why Gasau came up with the ridiculous coach rotation to cut down cost.

Too many things to talk about, but the bed we are lying on is the bed Pinnick laid.

Apart from ballon d'or,
List top 15 greatest players of all time,
none will come from EPL.
C.Ronaldo achieved his greatness in la liga.

No disrespect to EPL,but other top 3 leagues have produced more superior players.

The era of Henry,Scholes,Gerald,Lampard,Drogba,Giggs and Roonie really tried to measure up and put d EPL ahead,yet there were not superior than other top players from other top leagues
