Milan are threatening to cancel Bakayokos loan because of "defects in his game".


https://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/news/tiemoue-bakayoko-return-chelsea-ac-13415750


Milan boss Gennaro Gattuso has appeared to suggest that Bakayoko, 24, doesn't have the required maturity to play in his midfield.


"Bakayoko has to learn how to get the ball," he said recently.

Ogbeni, go siddon. After been enlightened on how the process works, you still come here dey yarn opata. Elampiro, you no know ball!!

Abeg, give me one reason, just one reason why Alves made your almighty FIFPro XI. I dey wait o.

1. Dani Alves had 7 Assists in 2063 minutes played last season. That put him on same Assists per minutes played with Mohammed Salah and almost same with Mbappe. Better than most top number 10s of the world top leagues like David Silva.

2. Dani Alves (47 in 2063 minutes) had better chances created (CC) than Mohammed Salah, Sterling, Sane, Aguero, Kane, Mahrez, Mkhitaryan, Ramsey, Pogba, Firmino, Mane, etc. In his league he is one of the top with Mbappe, Di Maria and about two others above him.

3. Alves featured in whoscored League 1 team of the season.

4. Alves featured in whoscored European (best XI) team of the season.

Do you still think FIFPro is a popularity contest? Do you think now you know more than the professional players?

Sitting down and reading old newspaper at mama akara joint in the morning while chewing stick and reading analysis of Dayokanu which gave you a few knowledge about FIFPro voting does not make you know ball. If no be Dayo and Nihilist wey you dey read their posts here, wetin you for know for Fifapro?

You remain the lightweight you are.

Elamps wey dey bring assists stats for defenders. But that's how the world of football is now sha. While defenders are rated by number of assists, some attackers are excused for doing everything aside assisting and scoring goals. Well we thank God for Sarri sha

But Gatusso is a wicked man oh. Translation of the above quote is equivalent to a manager telling his player - YOU NO KNOW BALL!

]A fullback is more likely to bag an assist than score just as a striker is more likely to score than assist, Captain Obvious. Why not just compute their total goal contributions and compare since you are being so dubiously smart?

That's even ignoring the fact that those stats were in a mid-level league as the Ligue One - a league where a goal has a weighted average of 1.5 as to the 2 obtainable in the biggest leagues in Europe when calculating for the Golden Shoe. Will you be so happy if Alves was subjected to such a balanced and efficient metric in recalculating their true value.

Need I point out your attempt to skew the stats in favour of Alves by using the per minutes ratio when the sample sizes are not even close. Ever heard of regression to the mean? You might want to start taking Statistics classes.

Even at that, his stats still pales in comparison to that of Joshua Kimmich, a player who dropped an incredible 6 goals and 27 assists in 2018 alone. 18 big chances, 10 of which translated to assists in the BuLi. A look at their Squawka profiles for their respective leagues and the CL shows who the better player is. I'm even yet to look up that of Walker, Carvajal and Trippier.

Eruditor, will you be so nice to explain the logic behind the created chances bit for Mr Pace n' Pawa?

The CL is undoubtedly the biggest club competition in the world which provides a level field for comparing players who ply their trade in different leagues. So how does Alves fare against Kimmich? 2 goals and no assists for Alves. 4 GLS and 3 assists for Kimmich, including a goal in each leg against perennial champions Real in the semifinals.

Even putting the stats aside, the eye test shows Alves is no longer the beast he once was. His last world class performances were in his last few months at Juve. I'm talking c. April 2017. He got exposed in both legs against Real Madrid last season, even committing an error that led to a goal. Age has caught up with him, which is acceptable.

But what is not is you coming here spewing rubbish in the hope of defending the indefensible. Kimmich had a fantastic debut season as a fullback. Walker was an integral part of that record breaking Man City team and had a good World Cup even when played out of position. Carvajal made history with Real Madrid winning a third straight CL. Trippier brought back memories of Beckham and was one of the stars of the summer.

Alves had no business making that team.

Italy played today and Belloti was not considered good enough for a start nor sub nor even bench

He is still relapsing

bros I am watching the game,I don't think we should blame de gea for this oh, ramos and nacho sometimes play like David Luiz .
Meanwhile Sergio basket should retire abeg,in don done,78% possession yet 3-0 down,na wa oh.

It's too early. His form is unsustainable.
Let's be keeping tabs though.
Also, we will need a right back in about a season's time.
Azpilicueta needs a rest and quickly or he'll go the way of Ivanovic.
Elseid Hysaj and Joao Cancelo are good options.
Matt Doherty of Wolverhampton Wanderers too.
Also, if Christensen wants to leave we can offer him and some money to Ajax for Mathias de Ligt.
