Top teams buy 2 kinds of players. Established stars and top prospects.. Samu falls into the later category.

If this one hear damasak, baga, metele or maguleri now, him go tear rave

Fake mopol

Humility017:

Lol...I am so surprised at forgiveness words...
they were proven world class players...

save for Sallah...those guys were not really known prior their signing for Liverpool.
but with the right philosophy, guidance and hard work...they've made it to the top.
a young player..recognized to be among the top 20 best young players in europe too 5 leagues...and here someone is trying to downplay his potentials and recognition just to promote a mediocre player like seyi ojo

edi287:

What about the legitimate 19 year olds that has had his opportunity usurped by a 26 year old?? You think that's fair abi?
This is how folks will defend Yahoo boys because "country is hard" yet not realizing that those guys are making it even harder for legit young men to do anything.
Nigerians is the problem of Nigeria. Bad leaders did not fall from heaven. They came from the masses.
The masses can make a change but we all know the average naija folk is all talk. How else can you have a president like Buhari for 8 years??

Humility017:


yeah he won the under 17 medal...?
did mane and the names you mentioned to be proven world class players prior their signing for Liverpool won any of fifa world cup medals?

BascoVanVeli:


I am sorry but what u and the lot are talking is absolutely baseless. Nigerians are not more corrupt than any one else. They are doing what their system allows them to get away with.

For example in the U.S do you know how many people fraudulently get government assistance even though they are well to do? Nigeria is a small boy when it comes to corruption ooo. We are talking numerous prisons to hold millions of white collar criminals

Nigerians are not overly corrupt they are just desperate. Poverty will make you do things that you normally wouldn't do. There is no way you can expect people to not cross an invisible line when they see a better life in front of them, there must be a fence.

safarigirl:


Who is Seyi Ojo? Who is Harry Wilson? Who is Ryan Kent? What clubs have they played against? How did they stand out against them?

Once you hear a Nigerian player's name, you will want to compare him with every flash in the pan player born in Britain.

Sportilitica:

While I think Samu is better than those 3, he probably will not get to play and his career might just fizzle out. Shaqiri did not even get enough playing time so I really doubt Samu will. Before people go emotional on the issue, let us all remember that Liverpool has a fixed starting eleven and Samu can not displace anyone there. So where can he go to get playing time? We all saw what happened to Nacho immediately he stopped getting playing time.

Barryseal:

In most cases, the prospects get very little playing time. The reason why those young players get loaned out to mid tier clubs then, they are recalled if their development threshold hits the mark, otherwise they are resold for profit.

tbaba1234:


It also depends on the prospect. Someone like chukwueze might not start immediately but he will get plenty minutes right now.

forgiveness:


PSV and FC Red Bull Salzburg are average clubs, abi?

Chukwueze has not achieved quarter of what these have achieved.

I know these players before they joined Liverpool.

Humility017:


yeah he won the under 17 medal...?
did mane and the names you mentioned to be proven world class players prior their signing for Liverpool won any of fifa world cup medals?

andrew444:


So Red Bull Salzburg is a world class club ?

Your own dey your body

darkelf:


But is he entirely wrong?

Captain or not, you will be lying to say he is not 80% correct. It is .only blind patriotism that will make you insult him. You wet don't fight for Bornu should know better

komekn:


Chukwueze may or may not be better buts it's not important. Clubs give preference to home grown talent and if these three players that have shown outstanding promise could not get in.

Why would anybody think Chukwueze will, unless you want to be Fanatical about support for all things Nigerian.

forgiveness:


Are dey average clubs?

CaptainStephen:
Walahi I want to reply you but dont have the strength Biko.

forgiveness:


Wijnaldum already won FIFA world cup bronze medal, Dutch league, Dutch best players player of the year etc before he joined Liverpool.


Mane already won CaF best 11, Austrain best player, Austrain league, etc before joining Liverpool.

Don't compare them with Samu because they were far ahead of him before they joined Liverpool.

alekside:
So, what did Robertson, Gomez and Matip win before joining Liverpool?

alekside:
It is simple, they are not good enough. If you are good, irrespective of how young you are, Klopp will give you the playing time. TAA, Joe Gomez, Robertson and Rhian Brewster are classic examples.

Seyi Ojo, Kent and Wilson were also given chances but they were deemed not good enough hence why they were loaned out. You can argue the case of Wilson who was has been outstanding at Derby but Seyi and Kent have not lived up to the expectation.

forgiveness:


I don't know them. I only told you what I know. So stop changing topic.

forgiveness:



Who told you they are not good enough?

Only Sheyi Ojo was given chance and he performed. Stop all this ignorant talks.

komekn:


You always slaughter rational on your emotive alter of prejudice.

First assertion is simplistic, Chukwueze will not start at Liverpool. That means he could go on loan and his current progressive development curtailed.

The comparison is not to the individual but the consistent continous and present culture at Liverpool a world class football club. The players mentioned reflect that trend.

And if you don't know who they are then your lack of knowledge should not be a thing of pride, find out before you talk.

andrew444:


No they are world class like Barcelona Madrid and co

Mtscheew

alekside:
Oga, you are the one talking ignorantly.

I am a full blooded Liverpool fan and I follow some of these players.

alekside:
But you've been trying to prove that a player must have some certain reputation before they can join a world class club like Liverpool.

alekside:
But you've been trying to prove that a player must have some certain reputation before they can join a world class club like Liverpool.

forgiveness:


You are surely a ignorant fan because I am equally a Liverpool fan.

Starboytwo:
I know only or matip, he won principal cup in sec school back then in Cameroon....na him score die minute goal self...

forgiveness:


You don't know anything. Somebody downgrading Young boys and that Salzburg for FC Midtjylland.

forgiveness:


Where did you read that from? Show me.

forgiveness:



Wijnaldum, Mane and Firmino already made names for themselves with individual laurels before coming to Liverpool. Don't compare.

I knew Wijnaldum when he turned heads in the Dutch league. Due to this he was made Captain of PSV at a very young age and even won Dutch footballer of the year.

Even Mane was the best player in the Austrian league before he came to EPL to continue his performance.

alekside:
You are the ignorant LFC fan

If a player is good enough he would be given the chance to play at Liverpool no matter where he's from.
