Father is a British-Nigerian.
Mother is a german.

Honestly, I am very disappointed in Nff, they didn't even make an attempt to woo him.
It is same thing with Saka, see that crystal palace Eze that boy is a low-key baller, if Nff were serious they should have called him up.
Shoretire of man u, Tella of Southampton, Adarabioyo of Fulham are others we should be calling up.

"Catch them young" must be an unexistent phrase to them
Nff needs an overhaul ffs angry angry angry angry angry angry angry angry.

England keep capping young guys which I doubt they can use all

Very true. When I saw Werner ruin that chance with his silly first touch after Mount had played him in, the first thing that came to my mind was that a player like Rashford or Mbappe would have controlled the ball in such a way that they would be facing the goal immediately. He could have been one on one with the keeper if he had a good first touch.

All this Timo were never under the spotlight no one really saw their flaws. Now we have bought them all. Honestly they are too expensive to be playing like this

Well,Thiago isn't lacking in any of these departments. ..and that's exactly makes him great.
BlueRayDick:

such player must enjoy successful years with his team(either at the national level or club level by winning a major title ) and such success must be directly attributable to his footballing prowess. It is only then I consider such player as ''great"[/quote]


Let me quickly flaw this assessment of yours.Fisrt and foremost, limit our scope of discussion to the premier league alone ....so are you telling me you won't consider Stephen Gerrard as an epl midfield great cus he didn't win the app and such that you will rate gilberto silva above him and just tag him a decent player ?
BlueRayDick:

I will gladly agree he is a good player for PSG particularly in the era in which they've dominated their domestic league with the arrival of their Qatari owners in 2011, but he isn't great defender you call him to be. That guy was always in the defense line when they get dumped out of Champions league year-in year-out. [/quote]

Theiry Henry was just a decent player for arsenal too considering the same reason.


BlueRayDick:

Like I said earlier, when great defenders of this era will be mentioned, Thiago's named will likely be missing. [/quote]

Yes now.

He claimed that Silva never won a major trophy for club and country, i mentioned Copa America he started doing several 'leg overs' like Quaresma. grin


Meanwhile,

Ferdinand : Back in 2014, when asked on Twitter who the best centre-back in the world was, the Manchester United legend said: “Thiago Silva by a long way.”

Gattuso : “I see Thiago’s strength every day in training. It is not a blasphemy to compare Thiago Silva to Franco Baresi.”

Inzaghi: “I think that Thiago Silva is the best defender in the world. It is incredible how good he really is. Thiago Silva is part of a new generation of phenomenal players who are perhaps born every 100 years.”

Ronaldo: “Thiago Silva is without a doubt the best central defender in the world. He has incredible qualities. He is a symbol of elegance like Franz Beckenbauer. He is following in his footsteps.”

Ancelotti: “When Thiago gets onto the pitch, he controls the defence with his great personality and character. He is the boss of the defence,” Ancelotti wrote in his 2015 book My Coaching Secrets.

“Thiago is a leader, technically capable of doing extraordinary things in the two phases of the game. With him, things at the back are simple and efficient.

“His speed, his great ability to recover the ball, the way he reads the game, all combined with an extraordinary leap in aerial duels makes him one of the best defenders in the world.”

Laurent Blanc: “I confirm everything that is said or written about Thiago Silva, everything people think of him: he is at the top level in the world!”

Capello: “If I needed a defender I’d sign Thiago Silva. In the next two years, he could easily play in Italy with a cigarette in his mouth.”


But here on nairaland, he is not great because he hasn't won a UCL or World cup. undecided

One doesn't need to see all this to even know Thiago Silva is world class,anybody with functioning eye will easily know he is.

You can't make fifa 11 on three different occasions and not be great. The only time your world cup winning boateng will be above Thiago Silva is when they are listing names of centre back alphabetically.

Mount has all the attributes to become an average player. All great players are talented, not just hard-working.

Keep drinking from your water of self comfort.
Who told you he is not talented?
Who told you he won't get better than he is right now?
The generational fraud you lay claim to all the time can't even convince his countryman to give him a starting berth.
