Salzburg are nowhere bigger than Genk and Rangers

Based on UEFA ranking Salzburg is better.

UEFA coefficient is like Fifa ranking...it doesn't count for much..
The teams at the top aren't necessarily bigger or better than the ones below them..

Tobias Lawal is with the first team of LASK too. He played for LASK Juniors in the Bundesliga 2 of Austria last season.

Yakubu is in Slovakian Top-flight and doing very well.

Adeleye... Well... He has been on the radar longer to be honest, that is why his name was mentioned but he is not close to getting an invite. His chances are now very small.

It is Tobias and Yakubu that stand better chances.

Alampasu is doing okay for Ventspils but Latvia is really way down in the ratings of leagues in Europe. His time will come. He kept goal for Ventspils in their Europa league first qualifying round win maybe if they can make it into the Europa group stages, that could give him a higher platform to show himself.

Remember that Alampasu have been invited before by Rohr but right now, he has to do more to get back.



forgiveness:


How is Alampasu at a lower level compared to Adeleye and Tobias?

The last time I checked both are playing in second divisions of Isreal and Austria respectively compared to Alampasu playing in Latvia first division.

There's more to it than this.

How you take know?
We can also say Drogba will get more goals than Eto in la liga, you think say e dey easy to average 1 goal in every 2 EPL game?

We know say na normal thing for Barcelona and Real Madrid players as the rest of the league na omoko teams dey there

Drogba will get more goals than eto in laliga my ass

If vardy Aguero Harry can can average 1 goal in every 2 epl games why can’t the almighty drogba cheesy

Na Omoko full laliga but when salah come epl e show where the real omoko Dey ,salah that didn’t score much in seria A but in his first season in England he was looking like cr7 and Messi

If you think drogba is better than eto then you are a dreamer ,not surprised because almost all Chelsea fans are deluded grin

Thierry should have gotten his epl stats ar laliga if laliga is that easy ,drogba isn’t even close to Henry grin

Say something else okay

That's a good one right there. Yak was a beast. But looking at the stats again, Drogba come dey like another overhypped African player. cheesy. He barely did better than Yak. That man indeed deserves some props.

Chelsea fans will be in severe pains if they hear this cheesy

Mohammed salah and Sadio Mané will soon get more than 105 epl goals within the next 2 to 3 seasons grin

it won't be easy for Yakubu to score or live up to the expectation drogba did playing for big club is not easy

Playing for a small club and also getting goals with average midfielders around you is not easy so it won’t be easy for drogba also to get those goals yak get while playing for those teams grin

Not necessarily. As history would have it, players featuring for average teams and doing very well may not be able to turn out the same performances at a top tier team. An environment that expects very little from you can surprisingly summon some performance demons. On the other hand an environment that expects a lot from one can be one's undoing.
While you have a point, it still favours Yak. Cos it means drogba most likely won't turn up with Yak's numbers in the average teams. But if this Yak, already used to the English atmosphere, was at Chelsea, i have absolutely confidence he'd contest for Golden Boot, theoretically speaking. He knew the terrain already. And by pedigree, the coach would play to his strength, except if twas Pep sha. grin



Anyways, I think we should use Yak as Yardstick for Nigerian Forwards in EPL. He deserves mentions on that table. Same for Osaze Odemwingie.

We barely even remember these guys. Lol

This is Rooney at 31,but people want Mikel to be bossing the premier league at 33

Mikel shouldn’t be playing for a small team at 33 with his class

How old is David Luiz ? Mikel age mate ,even David Luis at 36 won’t play in the championship

How old is mark noble ?

Gareth Barry played at the epl at age 36 and at 35 he even won Everton player of the year

Wayne Rooney had many offers from the epl before he left Everton at the age of 32 with a good season where he scored 10 epl goals playing as a midfielder ,he has offers from crystal palace burnley and co

Mikel is class but I feel he doesn’t like competition ,he shouldn’t be playing for stoke city ,take it or leave it

Drogba 254 epl games ans 104 goals

Yakubu 252 epl games and 95 goals
And those numbers were for average teams.

It wasnt even Eto. It started with Thierry Henry comparism. That was way to insulting from Chelsea fans.


Then Man Utd fans did the Martial better than Aubameyang too.

I hope Onazi signs for Crotone. However, I think the introduction of MRI test has helped our football. Oyinbos will nologer worry of buying overaged players. Kudos to the Inventor of MRI. Best thing to happen to use.

Latvia league is still better than the second divisions of Isreal and Austria where Adeleye and Tobias played respectively hence Alampasu is not in the lower level compared to them.

Untill Tobias plays for LASK he should be rated above Alampasu. He is not even the third choice in LASK.

Slovakia league might be ranked better than Latvia but Alampasu's club is far ranked above Yakubu.

Picture 1 Yakubu's club ranking

Picture 2 Alampasu's club ranking


Alampasu is not playing at the lower level compared to all aforementioned players Rohr is considering.
