Ndidi would be better as a CB than DM, actually. He was a modified

He has instincts to go for the ball, playing him at CB will limit his abilities

HIlary Gong played today for Vitesse Arnhem. Now back from injury and fit for the season. Very talented
winger but injuries have stopped him. His case is like Noah Bazee. i hope he is injury free this season
and he plays well.
His coach rates him and he is generally highly rated

Playing him at DM actually plays to his strengths, he has the freedom to win the ball at any part of the pitch and snuff out attacks

Modern day DM do more than just winning balls and winning should not be a designation of a DM , the whole team should be winning balls. This is how Mikel was cut short and his progress derailed.

Rabiu Ibrahim of slovan Bratislava

I had very high hopes for Rabui Ibrahim, l really expected him to be the next JJay. But he has promised everything but delivered NOTHING.

From Sporting to PSV to Celtic to Kilmarnock nothing until he has gone to a very very low level league. And playing well, why that may be his level.

And when I see him now, we can see he came from the era without MRI.

Rabiu Ibrahim dissapointed me too. Forget the age issue, but i think his problem was he had a bad agent or his talent
was badly managed. I mean he could not do well until he got to Slovakia.
Maybe people surrounding him cheated him or he was not serious or both.
Nigerian football is full of teenage wonder kids who do not make it at senior level and one wonders why.

I was hoping to see Eze play in today's friendly against Brondby IF. But not so.

And Crystal Palace are leading through Zaha's goal.

Winning the ball can be a style of play at that is Ndidi's best attribute, he just needs to learn how to progress the ball and he is a top notch modern day DM

He was not patient at PSV. He left because he wanted to play regularly to gain call up to the national team.

Sorry to burst your bubble sir. But non of Ademola Lookman or Bobby Adekanye is an upgrade to Bazee based on last season stats. As for Bright Osayi,he had his chance to play UCL and top flight football with Club Brugge buh he chose to stay in his comfort zone, Hence none deserves to be invited. The only excuse you can make for bazee's invitation is that no switch of allegiance is needed unlike the others.


Actually I think you need to burst the huge bubble of delusion.

Look.at Bazee over the past 3 season, Injury prone and nothing to show.

Ademola Lookman is better in every respect
Bright Osayi is better clearly
Bobby Adekanye is better
Sammy Ameobi is even better.

Bazee will not get game time with any EPL club and will certainly be struggling in the Championship unless the bottom level clubs.

So what makes him better, because he is anonymous in his league, don't think he played more that 12 games all season.

If Ademola, Bobby, Bright and Sammy were in Augsberg they would be consistent starters.

Finally, most pPeopleton the know will consider leaving the Championship to Belguim league a step ddown. As a result Osayi is making an informed decision.

Not my preference and we can agree to disagree. I am not taking anything away from Ndidi but he has not done much in SE colors. I want a player with more creativity and less combat. Ndidi is a combative DM unlike Agu , Zuby etc.

At PSV, he was benched by wijnaldum and Strootman and Ola Toivonen. He didn't stand a chance.

Lol... You are not alone Marvelous Basco. wink

I actually find Forgiveness' inclusion of Nacho behind Osimhen as very interesting indeed. I have always considered such combo alongside many other formation set-ups. Nothing against Iwobi too. It's good to have this headache. grin


In a 4-4-2 Iheanacho/Osimhen will be murderous but you need a proper creative player behind them even Iwobi won't be bad for the first 45 minutes.

Actually his problems started with greed from his agents.

He was at sporting and refused to sign a long term contract that stifled his progression to the first team as well his development.

He much later with animosity left to PSV but could not cut it. Celtic and Kilmarnock followed but with no quality impact.

If we are to truthful, look at him and look at his claimed age.He is from the era of no MRI

Should we really say anymore.

you've gone back to 3 seasons ago just to prove your point. What happen to the "here" and "now" theory??. And based on the here and now none of them(Bazee inclusive) deserves to be called up.

And which of those players are/have not anonymous in their leagues except for Bright Osayi last season
