It is not just enough to blow big grammars, you really have shown overtime that you are poor with lexis and structures. Dude used a simple part of speech(adjective) with the rule...


"The adjective in a sentence applies to multiple nouns if the word 'AND' connects them, provided there is no other word between the 'and' and the second noun.

He does not need a repetition of same adjective(British) before the noun succeeding the conjunction(and), unless you so dumb.


I still dey doubt all ur bragadosho with wetin u dey show here all the time. Keep opening ur yansh because if there was anyone whose knowledge needs updating, bro, it is definitely yours, not his

Village champion.

Eéeeeeee be like say hungry deh catch you.

Danielnino00:
Oh .so it's now about quality and competition..
It's no longer about budget and money..

Everything started when you tried to use championship clubs to rubbish Boavista because Awaziem moved there..

Stating a fact does not mean you are Rubbishing a player. Maybe to you it does. But in general NO.

Awaziem is CB for the SE the basis of present continous selection can only be. Quality top quality and consistent perfomances in your club and league. But he has been struggling he at best very very average.

My expectations are always about current top quality performance with Comparison.

Awaziem is not going too Boavista because he is outstanding or had a great season. But the opposite. If he was any good he should be going to another La Liga team.

Going to Boavista is a step down a reflection of poor quality. His parent club did not bring him to the club because he is not good enough.

You cannot window dress the situation by saying it's Portuguese First division.

I made a comparison with the Championship on finances and quality. Because best and better players follow the money. As well as to highlight the poor level of club.

Mujtahida:
NO doubt modern football is dynamic but all I'm advocating for is that players like Awaziem (he's done well in the RB) should play in the position where he is most suited which I believe is CB if the natural RB comes good.

No matter how dynamic, players have positions they are most suited for.

The less makeshift arrangements we have the more balance there'd be in the team.

Really depends on what you mean by "done well" this is where your own understanding, exposure create your expectations.

What's the unit of measurement it has to be comparison and what us expected of a modern day RB/WB.

In that regard, he has been very poor, he is no where as good as Aina, Ebuehi and from what l can see Victor M or even Moses Odubanjo.

As a CB he is not better than Ajayi or the current prospects Iorfa and Adarabioyo.

Danielnino00:
Both...
He really need them..

I talk British coaches and players,he is bringing foreigners...

Have small shame.

The discussion is the quality and competitiveness of the Championship not the British players and or managers that are in it.

Danielnino00:
What about "Solanke better than Osimhen in the here and now?"

Did you say that ❓ because l do not know who did.

Danielnino00:
Are they British?

While I see an optician,you should see a neurologist

You are changing the context of your proposition, on the English Championship but without shame in a public forum. Below your proposition verbatim.

"filled with mediocre British players and coaches that's now so good?"

You are claiming that the Championship is filled with Mediocre players and managers and by implication poor quality. British or nationality is not pertinent or material to the proposition.

You are doing a "U TURN"

Marco Bielsa is arguably one of the best living football manager coaches in the world.

Go and update your knowledge it's like you are using DOS when we have moved to windows10.

But then your blindness may not allow you to notice hence your in ignorant darkness.

Napoleon55:
Why do people keep mentioning Eze and Okocha
in the same sentence?
Let's watch him play in EPL first at least for 3 years,but people should just quit comparing him to Jay Jay.

But when we mention players like Osimhen and say he will be the better Striker than Yekini, Ighalo Yakubu and will be the top goal scorer in Seia A.

It's objective and very acceptable, we did not say we are waiting for three seasons first or for him to play in Seria A first. Before we say anything.

Thats double standard, bias and favoritism.

Danielnino00:

"mediocre British players and coaches"...

U follow forgiveness drink Kia Kia before you read that post?

@ bolded.. Eze to fill in Okocha's space??

Go and see a specialist optician your blindness is indeed very complicated.

You are calling English Championship managers Marco Bielsa, Philip Cocu, Slaven Bilic, Scot Parker, Rafael Benitez, etc mediocre coaches.

NUTTIN more to say.

Danielnino00:
Leave that guy..
Let him wallow in in his delusions .

Even premier league clubs don't have that much dominance in Europe..
It is money that's making them look good..
With money,they can buy the best players in the.world! ..even at that,they haven't been able to dominate Europe totally.

It is now the championship that's filled with mediocre British players and coaches that's now so good?

It is often said ignorance is bliss.

But to know not and to think you know is more than ignorance but self induced BLINDNESS.

Rafael Benitez, Nuno Santo, Frank Lampard, Daniel Farke according to you are mediocre managers. But you may say they are past managers in the Championship as you clutch at desperate straws.

Philip Cocu, Slaven Bilic, Scot Parker, Vladimir Ivić, Sabri Lamouchi, Thomas Frank and Marco Bielsa (coaching mentor supremo incl.Pep Guardiola) are all mediocre coaches in the Championship.

January this year AC Milan tried to sign Antonee Robinson, for £10 million he is a left back at Wigan Athletic. The deal fell through when he failed the medical irregular heart rhythm. He was not the best left back in the league and Wigan Athletic. He is currently signed with Fulham now in the EPL.

Again another mediocre player from the Championship or should l talk about Jude Billings from Birmingham city just 17 years old bought by Borussia Dortmund for £25 million.

Again they are all very mediocre players in the English Championship according to you.

I could name more, but it should tell you to think and not to be led by emotive prejudice and dislike. For instance our own midfielder maestro Eberechi Eze soon to be SE player to fill the since empty space of JJay.

Again like I said ignorance is bliss.

andrewbaba44:
Food don set and you don start with all this English hype

Now you are saying boavista will struggle at the championship ? How do you know this ?

Forget budget and talk football

Boavista might be a poor team but saying they will struggle in the championship doesn’t make any sense

Modified

Apart from obi Mikel there is no quality Defensive midfielder in the championship that’s up to Javi García level ,dude won the epl with mancity starting most games

I don’t support awaziem move to Boavista but that doesn’t mean I should not speak facts

Javi Garcia is very poor example he was not outstanding at City or in the EPL. Since he left city 6 years ago he has been going down hill.

Who will leave Manchester city in the EPL for Russian league. That in itself tell you something about his quality.

Technicality in the Championship has to be mixed with Physicality and if you can garnished with speed.

This is where many of you get it wrong, physicality is not superior to technicality and neither is just pace.

However, a mix of all three is overriding advantage in a player. The Championship is in general more physicality than technicality and it's fast.

A player who is not used to that level of physicality and speed will struggle to use just technical ability to overcome.

When Rangers played Porto over two legs they got a draw in one game and beat them. The same Rangers held Villareal over two legs to a draw. Rangers would be top level league one team in the English league.

Second tiers are not rated in UEFA coefficient system and do not play in UEFA competition. So it's difficult to make that deduction. Nonetheless, the quality of players and values says something.

Any yes absolutely a very big YES players and the better players follow the money. And £££€€€ is a very big factor in football.

This is why the Championship is so competitive and has so much quality. It's the most financial buoyant second tier league in Europe.

I asked someone to compare the season transfer expenditure budget of Fulham FC to the entire Segunda División season transfer expenditure budget. That person went quite and evaded. That very fact based observation is almost self explanatory with regards to the quality of the league.

The Championship makes it very difficult for a player who doesn't have the mentality to deal with its physical intensity. You can with intensity physicality and speed overcome technicality. Not all the time depending on the quality of technical ability of players. No Championship team generally speaking will beat a top La Liga team. The technical quality is just too much again in general.

But we are taking the Portuguese league not upper level of La Liga.

barackodam:
As you made your bed, so shall you lie on it. He had the chance to play for Nigeria. He chose not to. We respected his decision and bid him well. Idc, he should be more bothered about improving his own quality so he can get a call up.

Let's face it, even if he played for us, there's no way he'd have made our team at this moment. He needs to work on himself more

In My opinion outside of Ekong he clearly better than any of our CB's.

andrewbaba44:
In as much as I don’t like awaziem move ,there is no way I will say championships teams are better than Boavista

As usual na so komekn Dey yarn ,we ain’t surprised

If we go by Last season Fulham , Leeds, West Brom are clearly better than Boavista.

If we go to the bottom half with Stoke that fields two Nigerian international and many more internationals as well as Swansea.

Compare the team sheets and look at the personal if you look at the value and quality of players Boavista doesn't compete with these two teams.

The championship is more physicality and speed than technicality. Different types of football emphasis. So not all players can converge technicality with physicality and then add speed.

Players from the Championship regular go to the top leagues of Europe. And you will have to spend good money to prise a quality player from the Championship to any other league.

Money attracts the best players that's a given.

chrisooblog:
no because having a discussion with you it's like talking to a brick wall sometimes and I'm not in the mood tonight. Take care

I understand your capacity is limited when it comes to a substantive discourse.

Subzero047:
The guy has a point, if Uduokhai and Torunarigha are added Awaziem place is under threat

If you add Iorfa and Adarabioyo then he is retired indeed I am not sure if any of them German boys are better than Iorfa and Adarabioyo.

chrisooblog:
please I have no time to engage with you in any empty back and forth.

After all this epistles you have written we all know you will go back to your tried-and-tested Here and Now quotation once time has proved you wrong.

I guess because you have nothing if substance to present, may l suggest.

Quarrel no deh.

andrewbaba44:
I wish him good luck

Was expecting a move to laliga or ligue1

Porto ,benfica ,sporting Lisbon and maybe braga are the teams I consider as a good move

But nothing spoil sha ,awaziem na young player and he might still make a big move

Bruv the reality is that many don't want to believe this Dude is at best very average.

He has played in two good leagues La Liga and French league one but no interest generated, no substantive offers made.

Now he has gone to club that will struggle very seriously in Championship. Look at the budget of Boavista look at the players in the squad, it's a poor club.

chrisooblog:
lol trust you to show up.

anyway like I said he's still young he will surely improve.

You start your contribution with a negative jibe.

First of all my approach was objective and without prejudice and plainly truthful.

Once again l expected some indepth factual led appraisal. But you have not done that, that's dissapointing. I want a discourse not a sentiment based sparring session.

You didn't say he has great pace, you didn't say he has outstanding anticipation, stamina, determination, aerial dominance, physical dominance, exceptional skills and technicality.

No, No, none of that but you concluded with in your opinion the one most important overriding ATTRIBUTE for success that he has is " he's still young" Thats all he needs Chei !!! See analysis.

And if you even examine that assumed attribute in the context of Nigeria it is open too many questions.

Awaziem has been in Portugal with Porto for 6 years and he is no longer a young youthful prospect. He is now a proven experienced football professional. And his attributes are clearly established and proven over the past 6 years as being passable average at best. He is not going to change into Koulibaly, Can Dyke or Thiago next season.

Please stop dreaming.

chrisooblog:
ok he's still young. if he can improve his game and stamp his authority he could become one of the best defenders in the league thereby raising his profile

There has to be established potential for that to happen.

Objectively speaking he has been at Porto for about 6 years and has never been considered good enough for the first team.

He has been a journey man trying to prove quality but never succeeding. In France he was not outstanding nobody was interested so he returned to the backwaters of Turkey. Then he got to a low level relegation bound Seria A club and was once again not outstandin.

So how on earth is he going to become the best defender in the Portuguese league.

What are his unique outstanding attributes that makes him potentially better than all the CB's in the Portuguese league.

forgiveness:
He signed for Sporting Lisbon with the hope he will play in the first team but Sporting Lisbon played him in their Youth team were he won mvp of that agegrade competition.

He terminated his contract by himself when he didn't see game time in PSV. To be fair, at PSV, he didn't stand a chance against the trio of Wijnaldum and Strootman and Ola Toivonen but he should have waited patiently for his time because PSV really wanted him to stay.

At Celtic, the coach considered him light weight for the Scottish League. I don't know what happened at Kilmarnock. I think he fainted in one of the matches and that brought an end to his Scottish journey.

I will say he was not patient enough.

You can only terminate your contract by mutual agreement not by YOURSELF.

However, if the club do not consider you quality they will let you go for nothing and not waste time with you.

Whatever the reason he could not cut it at all those clubs is irrelevant the fact remains he just couldn't CUT IT.

And age is not his friend official or real.

For me HUGE POTENTIAL that just never made it. At one time he was one of the best top 50 teenage footballers in the World.

Olulong:
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

Here and Now with regards to Bazee is a continuum of mediocrity underpinned with injury. So in the HERE and NOW he has not progressed.

Ademola Lookman is playing in a far better team than Leipzig of which Bazee will not make the bench. And if Ademola was in Augsberg he would be a regular first team starter.

Augsberg is a poor team flirting with relegation. If they were in the Championship they would be at the bottom end. Compare the team composition with Stoke Fc and you will understand hopefully.

Bright Osayi is not on his level and may end up in the EPL sooner than later. He was outstanding in Championship.

Bobby Adekanye is in a far better team in Lazio and would be starter at Augsberg undoubtedly. He has to play a lot more regularly but in comparison he is better than Bazee.

Finally, Sammy Ameobi he has been consistently top level perfomer playing almost every game for Nottingham Forest. He is 28 if he was born in Nigeria he would be 23.

None of these players are making serious waves and fire works but compared to Bazee they are justified for consideration.

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

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.

Olulong:
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.

forgiveness:
I think Onomah wants to play for us. Anyway, I don't problem calling these aforementioned into the team because we don't have more than these.

Just a matter of time.

Philosopher1979:
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.

forgiveness:
True talk. I will also also affect one of our wingers ooo. Remember, Bazee is also a German and he is likely to get a call.

On what basis ❓ ❓

Poor performance, injury prone, lack of impact, mediocrity or the one over riding consideration he is German.

Is he better or has he ever been better than Ademola Lookman, Bright Osayi and even Sammy Ameobi ❓ Or even the rank outsider Bobby Adekanye.

nemesis8u:
Spacing is a norm during convoys and should be adhered to strictly.

But thing is terrorists will also adapt , they will spread out accordingly and then ambush each of the targets.

The SOP is to conduct route opening ( route sanitization ) prior to the movement of a convey along the route. This is where drones come into play - prevention or denying the capability to ambush .

Also one simple thing I will suggest plz make it a rule to burn down all bush / vegetation , remove trees / decrepit buildings etc along patrol routes / roads in terrorist prone areas. This will cut down by half the ability of bh to mount ambushes .

This will be helpful for the civilians plying the road more or less .

Wow !!! you really believe that ❓

You must be very very new to this discourse.

daveP:
guyyyyy. You don fall hand Aimoye. If youre wrong and proven wrong. Accept it. But ive barely seen you on that table, and you're not totally factual, so why do you do this so well? Once i disagree with you, you'd never take blame. Always absolving. That is very weakening.


Get used to not predicting how people react, especially when you are wrong. Bias excuse is stale already. Just stop.


When youre right, i affirm you are
When you are wrong, i speak up as well.


But NO, you never gonna accept both. >:



Youre not the mathematical constant of objectivity, neither are you the SI unit of Footballers Performance.

This is even more dissapointing than your first write up.

As a long standing contributer here.

I assumed you would approach my opinion with some rationality or at least a good degree of objectivity.

But you don't even address a single item I have raised. completely evade the subject matter.

And then you rabbit on with irrelevant rhetoric that has no bearing on the subject at hand.

Then you conclude without reason, rationality and or objectivity, that you are WRONG.

Baffling and dissapointing.

The MRI no matter how inaccurate it is has brought a lot of sanity into the age-group competition. It is the best thing that has happened to these competition and Nigerian football in recent years. The blatant cheats will be weeded out while some fairly older players can scale through. No more Baba 21 to 30 for us.
This article did a good analysis on the matter
https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/dear-fifa-there-is-no-scientific-test-to-prevent-age-fraud/

I completely agree with you.

We are Nigerians, unfortunately until we change out norms and values.

There is no system that you will introduce that we will not try to find a away to circumvent it.

Oga keep quiet jare.
You keep shouting fail striker for the past 3 season. How is a player who had double digit goal plus some Assist a flop? last season he was decent the seasons before that he was decent in Man- city struggled in his 1st and 2nd season in LFC.
Comparing him to Ibe is highly Delusional.

Can you tell me how many goals he has scored in the EPL in the last three seasons for Leicester aa well as how many games.

KC has scored 9 goals after 3 seasons and after playing 71 games in the EPL, since he signed for Leicester in 2017.

He scored 5 goals this season in the EPL after 20 games.

It's not decent and it's not good enough for a £25 million striker. On the other hand the season before this he played 30 games and scored one goal in the EPL.

In this regard we can say there is improvement but he has still failed to live up to expectations. But if we have lowered the bar for our Nigerian striker and feel that 5 goal in the EPL is good enough quality. That's your opinion but not mine.

Ibe is winger who failed to live up to expectations at Bournemouth KC is a striker who has also failed to live up to expectations so far at Leicester. No window dressing.

I did not compare them, they play different positions they cannot be compared. There are different expectations and units of measurement for perfomance.

I responded to a comparison.
