drDoom3: The only area Ndidi has not improved is in his shooting. He has improved in everything else from ball carrying to confidence on the ball and even dictating play from deep. He was always good defensively, but he is no longer the one-dimensional defensive midfielder you portray. Compare him to Fabinho, Declan Rice, Rodri, Jorginho, Kante, Kalvin Philips, Douglas Luiz and the one generating the most interest seems to be Yves BissoumaWhy is Ndidi not generating much interest ❓Therein lies answer to the problem. |

Stormtrooper11: Anytime I see em release the list without the inclusion of Dessers is really hurtful. This guy is technically one of the best SE strikers available..
They'll always make space for Shehu but Dessers can't be included?? Dessers is 27. He must go to the world cup. Time is running out. He is in the much lower rated Eredivisie, take out Ajax and the rest of the teams are not high level competition. 6 goals from 20 games is not prolific by any stretch of the imagination. He is not outstanding IMO both in league and club. Is he better than Elijah Adebayo, Luton Town, 13 goals so far in Championship. Or even Afolayan, Udoh and Ladapo all in League one with over 10 goals all three of them. |

andrewbaba44: It doesn’t matter bro’s ,if you are good you are good
And yes tielemans is generating interest more than ndidi ,you should know he offers something different going forward
Playing for Below mid table doesn’t mean you cannot be signed by big clubs
Don’t be so quick to forget where moussa sissoko ,Wijnaldum where all signed from to Liverpool Chelsea and spurs ,from a relegated Newcastle that’s not up to half of current Leicester standard
Leicester City are 12th with 3 outstanding games and getting 6 points from those games will even take them above 10th ,so calm down as the season is not yet over Now we come to the key issue. Ndidi has not progressed his game ,it's one dimensional and he offers good defensive cover but nothing else. As a consequence he is no longer pivotal to his team and this means his value is dropping. If you make the comparison with Thomas Partey you see Ndidi has work to do. |

andrewbaba44: According to news from different places Frank kessie might just join Barca on a free transfer ,I wish it was ndidi though ,both are different type of players as one is a DM and the other a CM
But if I am kessie I won’t join Barca ,I see him as a gidigbo central midfielder and xavi will always take de Jong and pedri over him ,maybe he will be playing as a DM to support ageing busquets
Wilfred ndidi should never sign any contract extension at Leicester city ,it’s almost time for a new challenge in a bigger club and trust me he is good enough for all big clubs out there Leicester are struggling to replicate the previous past seasons form. They are below mid table. That means the ratings of some players will go down. At the moment Youri Tielemans is the player generating interest not Ndidi. He really needs to up his game if he wants a big club move. |

eddie7: There's always a room for improvement moreso, difference games, different techniques You hit the nail on the head. Each league has its requirements for player's, the EPL is fast , physically taxing and deeply competitive. The Championship is similar but with less emphasis on technique but greater emphasis on work rate and physicality, speed and then technical ability. This is the conundrum, if you can somehow overcome the harsh tackles and Physicality and be a technical player in the Championship, you will find playing in any other league much easier. |

And also we can't ignore the fact that man came to the epl after bad ordeal with club brugge and Cologne.
But I would rate Taiwo Awoniyi above him. What would be your rational for coming to that deduction❓ I am assuming it's a rational based decision and not one of emotive preference. What were your units of measurement that led you to that conclusion. |

Ukraine on its own with western arm supplies no aircraft or cruise missiles, limited air defence systems. Has been able to hold back and defeat the huge Russian Bear.

Karlovych: No one is denying the fact that Mitrovic isn't a top player, even Solanke has been one of the best strikers in the Championship. Mitrovich is way ahead of all the strikers in the Championship. It's really astounding he is on 35 goals it's an all time league record and the season has not finished he may likely get to 40+ goals for the season. Look at all the Championship top striker's from last season in the EPL all doing well and they are not as good as him. His last stint in the EPL was poor in my opinion for a player of his quality, l know he had some injuries but it doesn't explain things |

andrewbaba44: Mancity Chelsea Man U Liverpool
These are the 4 epl teams that are better than Porto
Arsenal Spurs West ham Leicester
These 4 teams can be called Porto standard and can loose or win against Porto .
Look at Luis Diaz already doing well at Liverpool from Porto ,someone like komekn doesn’t know him before he joined Liverpool and he would have easily tell you the guy won’t start at a useless club like Fulham Diaz has been on the radar of several top clubs not just Liverpool. How many players have left Fulham to top clubs . The core topic was comparison of Fulham with Porto, why don't you compare them man to man, player to player attributes and outcome delivery. A 16 year old boy that couldn't get game time at Fulham was sold to Liverpool he is now playing in the Liverpool first team. I am talking of Harvey Elliott, I am sure someone that you have never even heard you would say he will NEVER get into the Porto team from the lowly championship. So be objective and substansive not sentiment and emotive based ASSUMPTIVE. |

JayromWrites: A mini FC porto (Wolves) took the championship on cruise run
I remember reading somewhere that coaches of other clubs were so frightened and worried that they wanted to file a complain about the quality of players in wolves.....
Fulham better than FC Porto keh
Fulham won't even defeat Braga luck aside You read wrongly, the complaint and investigation centred on super agent Mended running the club by proxy. They then bought the creme de la crème of the Portuguese league including their national team, Diogo Jota, Raul Jiminez (£38 million transfer fee) to name just few. It was not a mini Porto more like a quasi Portuguese national team. The rest is history now but historical FACTS don't change. Premier League outfit Wolverhampton Wanderers recently completed the signing of Nelson Semedo from Barcelona. The 26-year-old left back's arrival at the Molineux Stadium makes him the 11th Portuguese footballer in Nuno Santo's side. In fact, Santo could form an exclusive XI of the Euro 2016 champions, hinting at the manager's preference for Portuguese football players |

Mitrovich is on near £100k a week not too many teams can afford him in the first instance. Mitrovich has created the record of the highest number of goals ever scored by s player in a season in the Championship. Fulham also have the highest number of Goals scored by a team in the Championship. I did not say he is as good as Lewandoski but he is still a very top quality striker. |

Danielnino00: It seems you work with Fulham cus I don't get the continual praise singing you are doing for them... Fulham have money to sign quality players,that's true..it's expected of them ....They spent a lot of time in the English top flight...
But in recent years, they have been simply average... Can't maintain their spot in the premier league and can't threaten anybody in cup games... So nothing special about them.... In the here and now! You have effectively give credence to my position and opinion. How much did Porto spend on its current squad of players ❓I guess I should qualify my opinion with the business model of Porto, which is buy them cheap and sell them for much more. Luis Diaz is an absolute testimony to that approach. By the way l think Diaz is absolutely top class players who by has taken to Liverpool and the EPL like a duck to water. Fulham are not as keen to sell their players and have a different business model. So considering what Fulham have spent and the quality of players they have ,do you think they will not be title contenders in the Portuguese league if they were hypothetically speaking somehow transplanted to that league. They Fulham have not done well in the EPL but played attractive football but lack consistency. With regards to cup games it's not a priority for them they just want to get back into the EPL. Which they effectively have done. |

(Inception - 2018): Winner- Iheanacho is better than Mbappe (2019): Winner- Onyekuru is more intelligent than Mahrez (2020)- Winner - Fulham is better than Porto (2021): Winner- Dessers is better than Haarland and Osimhen (author-TheLoneCitizen)
We already have a 2022 contender - 'Nwakaeme is one of Nigeria's greatest in Europe'(author- TheLoneCitizen) will he win it again this year or will we see braver challengers, we shall see  Put aside your emotive and sentiment based ramblings and use a little bit of objectivity garnished with intelligence. It's 2022 if we could transplant Fulham FC to the Portuguese first tier league. Fulham would be a contender to win the league. But of course you will disagree. Football is not necessarily mathematics but we can deduce the team with the better quality players can be considered, at least on paper to be the better team. Now with an open mind look at the players in Porto FC and look at the players in Fulham. One by one , l challenge and put aside your preconceived notions and tell me who is better. |

timay1: Fact
Bernardo Silva wasn't happy with his game time last season. He pushed for a move in the beginning of the season, with some clubs already bidding for him sef. But the club , as well as Guardiola refuse to let him go and Guardiola eventually convinced him to stay. Why is that?. It is because Guardiola values him and now look at what he's doing in the team this season.
If the club and/or coach values a player's contribution in a team, they will always make sure the player stays, no matter the amount of bids that comes in for the player. The club can even go as far as giving him a new upgraded contract just to convince such player 100% this is the business of football. |

COOL10: I want you to understand where I'm coming from. I don't want to talk religion but let's view it this way : God allows so many suicides in this life. He watches people literally kill themselves on a daily basis. But does this mean that he wanted them to die? Most likely not.
You could allow something to happen without necessarily wanting it to happen. Again I could be wrong and that's why I asked for evidence of Guardiola wanting him to go. It ts very simplistic. If be a club wants you they will not sell you, if he they value you be they will even pay more to keep you. Look at Saka at Arsenal already talking contract extension. |

KC has just signed a contract extension to his current contract taking him to 2024, not sure what his salary I am getting wide disparities. The club is under no obligation to make it public. I have had variations from £60 -£115k a week. Nonetheless, who is going to pay money for a striker who has been flop most of his career. His best option is to let his contract finish become a free agent and see the best you can get. |

Bottom corner, top corner, left, right, he just needs one touch to control and before you know it the ball is in the back of the net. So dangerous he is among the list of **** goal scorers in the EPL WOW amazing insight into the outstanding qualities of a top Goal scorer. |

 Very very vereeee SIMPLE. Although as simplistic as the situation is, it is a complicated conundrum to you. Fulham refused to sell and he is a contracted player. Fulham want to get back to the EPL and need there top player's to get them there. That's why they were able to loan Anguissa to Napoli. |
