Looking at Fulham no Naija for bench.

Don't know what has happened. There was a time Fulham academy was called the Nigerians.

They did sell one Nigerian youth player to Everton.

This Cardiff team no get shame total police game.

And they are rough, that is clear yellow card infringement on Mitrovic referee blind.

Mitrovic has just come back from a three game suspension after a red card.

He elbowed somebody blatantly the guy no send oh Mitrovic.

Joebie:
lol.. that guy like fight.. he lucky say he no get read

He is like a Costa hot headed

Yeah yeah Warri no deh carry last Tega just wire one shot, it's a GOAL

seankafor:
I wonder if you cross-check your statements before pressing the enter button.

The authority and audacity you churn out statements like facts makes me wonder

Like mitrovic will literally walk into any EPL team ranging from Liverpool,mancity, manutd and top EPL clubs..

I wonder why he isn't so sort after or next big thing after Dollar

That doesn't mean he will bench anybody immediately but he will contend with any striker in any team in the EPL.

He is has physicality and technical finesse and be is not slow.

24 goals in the Championship this season and counting is not a fluke.

Joebie:
Tega playing #10, not bad.

Tega has improved oh.

Eéeeeeee be like egbe wager for that midfield but one were deh do martial art not just colobee.

Meanwhile I am watching Fulham Vs Cardiff

The quintessential kick and rush blood and guts team against a footballing side, that play good quality on the deck football.

And a striker that would probably walk into every EPL team Mitrovic.

And of course we have Tega Onomah playing in midfield. He has improved and if all goes well in the playoffs he could be in the EPL next season.

Apart from his existing technical ability which has never been in doubt. He has become more rugged nobody is going to rough him up when it comes to physicality.

Oga no dey try twist yourself anyhow...at this time when when KC is scoring with cameo appearances, you projected into the future that he would not score given more time...you are not even using the present facts to try and predict the a probable future...but you are going against present facts to write a gloomy future that suits your narrative and you dare to talk about time specific...pls don't tell us anything about time specific ....that's stomach churning hypocrisy

That's not what l said that's what you perceived and what you want to believe, because it's suits your prejudiced notion and favoritism towards KC.

To remind you, the substance of my proposition is very simple. I repeat, " there is no mathematical probability equation that says if you play more you will score more.

But what you want to do is create a theory for KC alone. Which is if KC plays more he will score more because he is KC.

That's not just favoritism but being delusional.

humility33:
to an English club they don't come that cheap but when teams in the la liga excluding Berca and Madrid and some serie A teams go for them...they come cheap.

this clubs know that English clubs has money to spend and they see them as money bags.. i believe some of those scouts don't do their job well...I stopped taking them serious after west brom signing of Ideye damn! who does that??

even the clueless coach said he has never watched him play...

This happens all the time because football is corrupt and yes even in England. Sometimes nthe deal is more important than getting a quality player.

Because money gets distributed.

TheLoneCitizen:
Lille are desperate to sell Osimhen due to financial crisis. They also promised Napoli that they owed them one after Nicolas Pepe rejected them in favour of Arsenal. This is why Osimhen is delaying, because it seems Lille are pressuring him to sign the deal. Osimhen isn't taking time to ponder the deal, but is delaying in the expectation of an offer from the EPL.

Everton have already shown firm interest in the player and are expected to bid for him. Osimhen doesn't want to make the same mistake he made when he moved to Wolfsburg having been pressured.

Italian papers say that De Laurentiis wants to close the deal as soon as possible to avoid a mockery at the last moment as happened with Pépé. The Napoli fan base are becoming frustrated with Osimhen.

I can see this as being very viable but l also think Everton will want to offload Moise Keane aa a key to the transfer.

But Lille are in the business of selling so will they do a swap and get way less money.? ❓

They also know that come next season Osimhen value may not be so high. They are not a consistent team they would have sold players and he Victor will not get the same support.

My projection is that Victor will be forced to.go to Napoli because that's what Lille wants and that gives them the most €€€€. If he refuses then he is still contracted. He will create animosity within the club for himself.

benji93:
The point no be say you no fit get players from there. You fit, but na very high-risk players. There's a high chance that bringing in a player supposedly doing well in the "backwater leagues" will fail in the premier league, especially cos some of the players you could get of that amount are still budding. So quite understand why they would turn to the championship or other premier league players, cos, for the most part, these guys are used to the premier league or to something of a similar level of difficulty/rigority. So as a recruiter you gotta make a choice. Do you want to take the risk? Or do you want someone that has a higher probability of fitting right in. Now there's the problem that the players you get from the championship/Premier league are below average anyway, why would their former teams not renew their contract unless they are from the championship or you are offering a better salary. Besides some EPL teams still have decent academies.

When you talk of top teams you must always look at the academy for potential contenders for your position. Not to do so is foolish.

But people get up in arms when l talk about this and say he is biased.

These players leave top academies and can walk into top teams and claim position in one take because they are restricted by top players in thier way.

Look at Pogba straight to Juventus and then World class look at Jadon Sancho from City to Dortmund now classed as the best young forward player in the world.

With regards to the Championship it is a league that is a first cousin to the EPL physically intense with speed. And yes if you can do well in the Championship your transition to the EPL will be very smooth.

However, coming from more technical league and doing well in those league is no guarantee you can do it in the EPL.

There is long list of top performere from other leagues that struggled in the EPL.

Batshuayi was a top player in French and Belgium league, Lacazette has never replicated his goal tally from the French league, I remember Falcao crying like a baby in Manchester United.

humility33:
Lol...bro that was how Rashford started na even walcot, weilbeck, lingard and Jordan Ibe, Dele Alli and more

I am not moved by all this....just give them few years and see how well he goes

You will call me biased.

Apart from Jordan Ibe all those players have had very good careers and some are still going higher.

The problem is that we have multiple double standards here. When it's KC it is one standard when it's Tega another standard when it's Osimhen another standard.

In talking about player quality there has to be comparison and objectivity.

Not looking at a players in isolation because they are Nigerian.

KC is one of the SE current best forward players talking in the context of Nigerian players.

However, taking him into the context of the EPL and in comparison to average and above average strikers in the EPL he is well below average if not outright poor when his transfer fee is put into consideration.

Rashford has scored 15 goals in the EPL.

It is here we will claim England players are over hyped, which is not without credence in some regards.

Then here you will be told that Victor is the best young striker in the world. And that is not hype, that KC is the most lethal finisher in Europe if only he had more minutes.

Then here many will say TEGA is off form, because he has not scored in a few games and a poor quality.

Lingard is not playing because better players have benched him.

This is the reality in a big club with many top players. You get few chances if you don't perform you get dropped. Also there is more rotation of players.

And many people here are hoping Victor Osimhen should go too Manchester United and become first choice. And then if he doesn't play we will say racism and favoritism.

Aa bad as you think Jordan is and how badly he flopped at Bournemouth. I will not be suprised to see him at a EPL club.

Because clubs look at pedigree and think particularly individual managers that l can get this guy on a free and develop him and or revive his career. So don't be suprised to see him at Leicester. Lol. This post is not about my opinion but how these managers and clubs work.

And remember the big thing is he costs NOTHING just wages. So Newcastle, Crystal Palace, etc will be looking at hm.

If you find that biased that's just how the EPL market is.

Waiting to see Ighalo score that will make my evening complete.

TheGoodJoe:
At that time, your view of Osimhen was tainted with your natural bias. That was why at that time you had such a mediocre idea when we were talking about one of the most promising Hitmen in World football, you were talking stooping.

By the way, Wolfsburg to Lille is not stooping in my dictionary.

Lille has performed well in recent years.

You are so covered by emotive sentiment based bias you are unable to see clearly.

He left Wolfsburg in the Bundesliga to Belguim league RSC Charleroi.

Watching Manchester United give Aston Villa a football lesson.

And an 18 year old teenager Greenwood scoring goals like he has born to do this.

TheGoodJoe:
I wonder why you guys break your heads for Komekn. The fact is that he is just a bias person who rants against players he does not like.

Someone who believed a player Napoli is now fighting for will not make starting eleven in an academy in England.

He just rants against players he does not like. That is all.

I expected more from you a bit more objectivity and balanced.

Football is always time specific and AT THAT TIME my views were very clear. And yes he would not have made it into many EPL academies again AT THAT TIME.

I then gave him some advice again AT THAT TIME which was simply stoop to conquer. Drop to a lower league and reinvent himself and he absolutely took that advice and the rest is now history.

JayromWrites:
This one no be analysis anymore


It's not "let him have his opinion" any longer

It's pure hate

And the fact that he has written off nacho with so much assurance is nauseating

It's called having balanced non partisan view and not giving a player specail consideration and or double standard because he is a Nigerian.

Very simple it's not HATE.

If you buy a player for £25 million as a striker and considering his return after three seasons. What would you call it ❓ a good investment or a failed investment❓

Just be honest and stop trying to be too partisan because you like him.

I haven't written him off, just not giving him accolades he doesn't deserve.

TheLoneCitizen:
Just look at the criterion you use in measuring quality. Do you know how many clubs were interested in Jordan Ibe when he left Liverpool, but now he has no club.

I am at loss as to your train of thought and rational.

Jordan left Liverpool as a 19 year old teenager with lots of potential yet to be realised. For the hefty sum of £16 million at the time. He was hot property then and quite rightly lots of clubs wanted him.

But 4 years later he is ice cold water and essentially a flop. He was released just recently and he will get a club because he is a free agent.

But what's your point exactly ❓

The British army is recruiting too.

But l will not post that here Lol

Edopesin:
lmao komekn is that you?

In reality no Championship team battling relegation to league one can afford to pay his £75k a week wages. Not even mid table can afford those wages. And al the strikers in the play off places are much better than him.

So even if they mid to bottom Championship teams wanted him who will pay ❓

KC will see his contract run out that's his best option and become a free agent and move on from that point.

rabzy:
Your Bias in this analysis is blinding, is it every time that what you deserve is what you get, can other factors not come to play to make it possible to be done hard..we are not disputing the potency of Vardy. i would like to know how prolific Vardy was at 21 or 22. It is not whimsical but a fact that if vardy played the total number of minutes that KC played this season his goal tally would be far lower, it is an indisputable fact.. so why cant the reverse be true for KC. If KC plays more he would have scored more based on current form

Vardy earned his game time by performing consistently and continously .

KC simple after three seasons of impotency last season 30 games and 1 goal. He has done nothing to justify more game time.

And now he is getting games and he has done a lot better than last season. But his so called improvement is simply not good enough.

You think that is biased, plane facts have become bias.

Benteke moved to Crystal Palace for £27 million. Liverpool sold him knowing he was off the boil.

After all his pedigree Benteke is essentially dead Crystal Palace keep playing him because they can't afford to bench him. He also is impotent and dead.

No matter the minutes or games Benteke plays he will not be prolific and the same goes for KC.

TheLoneCitizen:
So you did not know that football is no arithmetic when you said he scored 9 in 68? Negro please.

That's a statement of fact with the determining KEY PERFORMANCE INDICATORS.

Which is goals

Your proposition is a convoluted assumptive mathematical equation of probabilities not facts.

There is a big difference your is delusional hope.

I talking of facts established.

kellycute:
you are just trying so hard to dribble yourself and your fake hallelujah praise singers. If you say the true you will not die so why are u still focusing on past? Are you telling me your so called theory of here and now is not applicable to nacho?. Why not judge him based on this current season?. 23 games... 10 goals, 4 assists. He is not even regular at all and he still able to pull out that kinda numbers. Komekn, do me a favour and humbly take your L.

We use a level playing field which is the EPL games not cup games.

He is not a potent striker and therefore impotent.

When you have not clearly left your past behind it is still with you.

Meanwhile answer my question.

humility33:
bro...you're not a sincere person.

a man should be truthful and open with the truth at all times...

the lad has done well so far all he needs his play time and drift to play as SS I am so sure dude will bring in goals

To be sincere to be precise and with untainted clarity.

We don't project with wishy-washy wishful thinking. Consider the bold in your write up that's futurist hopeful but based on favoritism not past conduct to anchor future expectations.

You are not being truthful and sincere but settings up a double standard. This is Favoritism.

What has KC done in three seasons at Leicester his situation bus not a blip or a slight drop in quality.

He has been consistently continously mediocre in comparison to his transfer fee. This is his best season so far at Leicester but it not neccesarily outstanding.

Hopefully he will score 10 and get a pass mark in the EPL.

TheLoneCitizen:
My point is this, don't judge a player based on goals scored. You said Iheanacho has scored 9 goals in 68 games, but what you don't say is that he has started just 27 games and amassed 2620mins. This season alone, Vardy has clocked 2735mins. Over that period Iheanacho has scored 9 goals and 9 assists.

This means Vardy contributed to 22G+A in 2735mins, while Iheanacho has 18 in 2620mins.

Football is not a mathematical equation. You are suggesting the implausible that if he played more minutes he would score more. That's simply whimsical.

You don't have a right to play and or start games you EARN that right by what you do when you play and what you show in training. He has simply don neither.

Whether Vardy plays 20 minutes or 90 minutes he us better than KC in every way and on every front. What are you trying to do ❓ use suggestive psychology to convince people.

KC is just lucky Leicester don't have money and or any other striker of quality. As well as Vardy doesn't get injuries.

Otherwise Leicester would without Vardy be in mid table whether KC plays 100 or 10 minutes.

Blueelf:
Bro, calling him impotent is rather unfair.

His numbers are better than Gabriel Jesus this season you know

Gabriel Jesus 29 games and 9 goals in the EPL 2019/20.

How are they the same please.

kellycute:
you can't even hide your hatred for Iheanacho. It is very clear for everyone to see except your hallelujah praise singers. You must be delusional to tag someone with 10 goals, 4 assists in 23 games an impotent. The only impotent person right now is you since you have decided not to use your brain and turn away from hate. Get out of my sight!!!.

How many goals in the EPL after 17 games is a far from potent 5 goals, that's the pertinent statistic.

In your esteemed knowledge of football tell me one club in the EPL that has expressed interest in KC.

A reflection of quality is seen in transfer interest even in rumours.

So let not go too far, tell me just one EPL transfer rumour associated with KC not two just one.

Quality does not hide.

elunico:
I don't like what you're doing. You've been here long enough to be throwing up such ignorant projections regarding KC's future.

Nacho is only good enough for championship teams battling relegation to league1

Jokes apart which Championship team looking for promotion will look at him.

Then the main problem is his wages, who in the Championship will pay £75k a week for an impotent striker. In reality they cannot afford it most clubs under 10 in position.

Samueltemi337:
Two Italian clubs, West Ham, Everton are reportedly interested in Super Eagles fullback Ola Aina

Old news

TheLoneCitizen:
Memphis Depay for Manchester United, 33 games and 2 goals.

You have a comprehensive vocabulary sir, keep it up.

Prior to coming to Manchester United he was tearing it up in the Eredivisie then he comes to Manchester United in the EPL and he cannot even start his engine.

Then he leaves to a lower league and less competitive in the French league one. He has been consistently putting in top level performances consecutively season after season. This season 13 games and 9 goals in the French league.

A note of caution to players thinking to replicate thier scoring from lower leagues in the EPL.

Edopesin:
Teams like Burnley, Newcastle, Brighton or Southampton where he will get more minutes... Unless Nacho is bigger than these teams

I know Burnley very very well, he doesn't have the physicality nor the work ethic to play in thier team and finally he doesn't have blue eyes.

Newcastle, possibly but he look at the pedigree of strikers they buy. The don't buy out of form striker who have not done anything in three seasons. They need a player to move them up not take them down. They already have strikers close to impotency they don't need to add another.

Brighton he brings nothing to the table they don't already have. Neal Maupey is proven and tested. Also thier recruitment is unique, very methodical led simply will not buy him. When Chris Houghton was there he had very limited input in recruitment.

Southampton he is not good enough look at Ings, Long and he is not going to displace Obafemi or Ched Evans.

Edopesin:
One thing I realized is that Osimhen is not more concerned about the fee but playing time, Lille want to cash out big on him but Osimhen is thinking about his future

In the EPL, I'd rather he went to Arsenal though

None of the above.
