So good that only one Bundesliga team got to the round of 16 in the Champions league, which was of course Bayern Munich.

How many clubs from the EPL were in the last round of 16 can I humbly ask

Batshuayi could not cut it in Chelsea or the EPL goes to the Bundesliga and tears it up. Consider Ademola no game time in Everton now a stand out player in the Bundesliga.

The player you mention were stand out players in the Bundesliga. The traffic is literally going one way to the EPL for the best players.

That assessment of best European league's was scientific evidence based and done by UEFA you seem to know more than them.

This shows you are confused, you are the one acting to know more than them, i never said Bundesliga was better than English premier leage.

you said Bundesliga is 4th best league because of Bayern and the other teams could be compared to championship sides and i was naming players from the so called average team walking straight to Epl side line up.

I was with Chigozie Obasi about 2yrs ago after his trials with Monaco. Remember he was adjudged to be the youngest of that 2013 set dye to his facial looks and small body. Remember his thunderous long range against the the UAE?

After taking some pills to my dismay, we discussed about life and everything, he shocked me when he told me the true ages of each and every one of them that repped us in that 2013. Yes they were young but none was below 18 and none was above 21.

This is a public forum, these details is not necessary

Ok. I get now.. But u can see d disadvantage too.
Its 2edged sword.

most corner are always punched out by the keeper or the defenders head it out, is only on few occasion the ball goes to that direction

From a relegated Stoke that's lookin at thier budget, even with the parachute money. Etebo is untested unproven and short it is more of a risk for Stoke.

Has Etebo married a Portuguese wife or possibly got EU citizenship via Portugal ? Wondered how he got round the work permit rules.

it seem stoke have money to spend, they already convince afobe to sign for them from promoted wolves.

Etebo was selected by Nigeria for the worldcup so he should pass the work pernit rules

Your prejudice has no end, remaining with a parochial mind is not wisdom.

Firstly, you completely ignored all the substantiated facts i stated and chose to misrepresent. For avoidance of doubt , i said the Bundesliga is rated 4th in Europe see link https://www.uefa.com/memberassociations/uefarankings/country/index.html

The Bundesliga is given a higher rating because of Bayern Munich who completely dominate literally creating a one team league that has one nearly everything for the past 20 years,

Considering the gap between the top and mid level clubs of the Bundesliga i place the lower half on par with the top half of the Championship possibly lower for the bottom end of the Bundesliga.

Dominic Iorfa is a wolves player, and Wolves are in the EPL maybe your prejudice has blinded you to common truths and facts. Explain with facts not prejudice how Akpoguma and Jordan even add Felix Uduokhai how these players Rohr and the NFF continuously are better than Dominic.

Maybe if you present a substantive case i will humbly agree with you.

they are better, Bundesliga is not just 4th because of Bayern and championship can never be equal to Bundesliga bottom half not possible.

players from that so called mid table team walk straight to become the best players in there premier league team e.g Sane(schalke), Xhaka(mocheglabash), Mkhitaryan (Dortmund), Gundogan(Dortmund), debryune( Wolfsburg), firmino(hoffenheim),

i can even give you more, the Bundesliga is one of the best league in Europe not because of bayern

forgiveness:
Omeruo is in the form of his life, the last time I saw him played against England. So, why bench him?

Exactly! Against Croatia, Brazil found it difficult to penatrate and score but Neymar came on and created a goal from nothing.

In short, he changed the game. And this is exactly what Victor Moses brings to the team.

i agree with you on this

forgiveness:
I think it is better Mikel, Ndidi and Onazi continue to play together. I will remove Onazi if I want Iwobi to play behind the striker.


Moreover, I am still not convinced Ogu should be played on the left side of the 3 man defence because his positioning is very poor and he misplaces passes under pressure.

Finally, no coach in the world will bench his most innovative and offensive players in his team for lesser.

I say Victor Moses must play.

i agree with you on this, Ogu playing while Omeruo on the bench dont make sense to me and for Moses he must play.

i watch neymar against Austria i keep seeing him take on players even when he should pass and he pass when i thought he will pull another move that's exactly what moses do for us. it makes the team unpridictable.

Barca with messi most time is like and an arsenal team, pass and pass without any penetration or short

CaptainGOOD:
Hmm, so what's d concept behind it?.. becoz logically and tactically it doesnt make any sense defending a set piece..
I'm just saying

the taller ones are compete and defend the set piece and the shorter once are by the pole just incase the ball goes toward that direction.

The French really are having their fun... They even got their pillows numbered according to their jersey nos? Like hell... Hahahahahahahaha.... Trust that clown Benyamin Mendy to be in on the act... He is the one with number 22. Lol

Extra drop: With so many blacks of African links on the team someone said France are the only "African" team with a chance of going farthest at the World cup... Lol... Well he said that "tongue-in-cheek" kinda shaa...

how mendy made this team is what i don't understand, he almost didn't play thos season

Was it not last season Aluko played for Fulham where he was nominated for Football league player of the year?

Is Stock City better than Fulham?

Is Echiejile a starter in Everton or Afghanistan league?

Is Uzoho in the Spanish la Liga team and a starter there?

Is Akpeyi and Ezenwa playing for Arsenal or Real Madrid?

Besides, who told you I am against Etebo going to the Championship?

I don't have problem with Uzoho, Akpeyi or Echiejile going to the world Cup but I can't agree with you two faced double standard fellows analyses. That's all.

Honestly, you have comprehension problem.

you have done what you know to do best..twist and manipulate. you mentioned Rohr assured Etebo a place in eagles that's why he rejected Bundesliga...now they reminded you about aluko and you twistig everything up and down

CaptainGOOD:
Even tho I agree with u that omeruo should start because his defensive ability and confidence has improved a lot recently.

But I don't agree with u saying that "height is not important in the game" egbon if u watch our first goal conceded against england u would know that height is very important.
Because onazi jumped all he could to save that header from a set piece but he couldn't
I don't think he has ever jumped that high in his entire football career . I even came across some whites making mockery of him on u tube for that jump.
If it were ogu or balogun in his position the goal would HV been saved

Height is very important bro.

shorter players are always in the pole, babayaro and udenze use to be there.

I want you to consider the clubs that Akpoguma and Jordan play for, thier refusal to consider Nigeria. However, we still went to court ( beg them) are those two German players better than Iorfa.

I look at the Bundesliga ranked 4 the in Europe primarily because of Bayern Munich. I would place the bottom half of the Bundesliga on par with the Championship.

Then consider how many games Iorfa played as a teenager was invited to train with England senior team. Things went wrong when Mendes ( Super Agent) took over Wolves unofficially brought in his Manager and flooded the club with top Portuguese players and pushed out the English ones. Dominic had hitherto been a regular at Wolves since age 17 winning MOTM awards in the process.

Now compare his pedigree to the German boys who have publicly stated they ARE NOT INTERESTED. Yet Rohr and the NFF still humbly go about pleading with them.

Do you not see a DOUBLE STANDARD

you and your brother can go to any length to make wrong thing look good, so championship is at par with Bundesliga.

Iorfa is not at par with those guys atall, those guys will walk into most premier league team while iorfa is still struggling in championship

You are changing the goal posts.

The issue is present continous performance that enables upward progression to the EPL from lower league.

It's where they were prior before they got to the EPL not what happened 4 seasons ago.

Some players drop and never make it back up.

Andr Grey came from non league before climbing to Brentford, Burnley then now Watford.

Cohen played for Arsenal against Bayern pre season.

you can't remove the fact that some players relegated but already made there mark in the premier league, players like john terry,stewart downing or robert snodgrass can come back easily back to the premier league.

The point is Andre Gray was with watford in championship before gaining promotion with them, don't twist it.

Cohen playing for Arsenal in preseason is laughable, do you know how many youth players Chelsea, arsenal and Manchester united use during preseason, ike ugbo of chelsea played some preseason matches too for Chelsea.

Make cohen make the team bench in competitive match First

Forget that thing. You don't seem to understand that post worldcup things can go way south as well. He might even remain at a Feirense. It's a good deal. Once he performs,a bigger team will snap him up.

he got a las palmas loan deal without going to the worldcup and you think he might stay in feirense after the worldcup.

Think na

TOTALLY UNTRUE

How old was ;

Robson Kanu before his move to West Bromwich Albion.
Chris Woods Leeds to Burnley
Dwight Gale Peterborough to Crystal palace
Andre Grey Brentford to Burnley
Charlie Austin QPR to Southampton

Too many too mention, i suggest you download and update your knowledge you are out of touch.

We could go even lower to non league

Cohen Bramall from non league Hednesford to Arsenal
Serhat Tasdemir afc Fylde going to see link below

https://www.dailystar.co.uk/sport/football/705125/EXCLUSIVE-Leicester-AFC-Fylde-Premier-League-Championship-Serhat-Tasdemir-Transfer-News

Robson kanu was a premier league player before doing down with reading to the championship, he had a very good premier league campaign and was nominated as reading player of the season in 2011/2012, in that season he scored against arsenal and Manchester United, so his well proven premier league player and had a good Euro competition with Wale. so not a good example.

Chris Wood is one of the few exemptions, he was outstanding on 2016/2017 season, scoring 30 goals. even with the outstanding season only club like bunley or promoted club in the premier league will want to sign him.

crystal palace were newlys promoted when they signed dwight Gayle...

Andre gray played with bunley in championship before promotion check your facts..

everyone know Charlie Austin played with QPR in the premier before they got relegated and hr scored 18 priemier league goals, bis already proven there and was even invited for England games

Cohen Bramall you mention shows you don't even understand what I'm saying, we should be talking about Cohen when he makes the bench for arsenal. i can aswell show you over 20 chelsea player bought for cheap and loan out to different leagues

Serhat Tasdemir is just 17 though is still a rumour

My man i didn't write all this to win an argument but I'm trying to make you understand that players coming from the championship is not a regular occurance.

the lucky ones are always;
*in there teen
*proven in the premier league before

most suitors for them are the newly promoted team and very low budget team like Burnley

andrew444:
Zaha was bought before promotion and he remained there on loan,go and check it

What about nick Powell ? From crewe Alexandra to man united

What about Demerai gray? From Birmingham city to leichester city.

What about will Hughes? From derby county to watford.

Let me stop here

if you read carefully you will see where i said there is always an exception of young british talent, this guys are all teen, they were bought to continue there development in the club

forgiveness:
You no be Rohr but you claimed he was dropped because he was not good enough for the German National team. Odiagu!

can you just listen to your self.

is either you dont understand English or you can't read, you said bazee will make German team when fit and i reminded you that sane was not good enough for them why will they want bazee.

you are really very manipulative

forgiveness:
Why was Sane dropped?
Stop stori.

i resemble low abi...sometimes I wonder how you reason

charlesemeka85:
meaning at the age of 22 etebo will be too old to attract an epl team if he performs well for stoke? nawaoooo

not like it don't happen but is not frequent, only the very outstanding ones get to move like that

chidexxy007:
Nope, he was bought then sent back on loan to aid their promotion chase..

yea but he join the Manchester United team after getting promotion with Crystal palace

forgiveness:
For your mind Sane didn't make the German team because he is not good enough?

Is that why Sane didn't make the 23 man list?

you can not comprehend what i mean even after explaining, you said bazee will make the german team when fit and i reminded you that Sane was not good enough to the coach.

wash your eyes

Gangster1ms:

i believe brazil is the favourite, they have the best players and very good bench in all area of the pitch

andrew444:
Nothing difficult in championship just that the games are many,Benitez bought Newcastle back immediately

I remember when west ham went down they where back in the Epl following season

aston villa should have don the same

BascoVanVeli:
Wolves are connected to one super agent I think Mendez. Anyways they get all these top players for low prices and they are mainly from Porto. There is this one guy that scores only beautiful goals and IMO he was the best championship player by miles. They also had a porto defender that made the team of the season if im not mistaken. A lot of grumblings are going on that wolves are not doing things the right way but no one can put their finger on exactly wat rule they are breaking.

yea i had about that, mendez is always associated with controversy

komekn:
I could go on and on and on there are too many.

Burnley predominantly buy from the Championship check thier players.

Liverpool bought Gomez from where at age 18 straight into the first team.

Everton bought Ademola, Mason Holdgate, Calvert Lewis, etc etc,

Finally who is the most expensive left back.in English football Ryan Ssegnon 18 years old last summer Liverpool bid £30 million Fulham refused.

Where was Dele playing before he came to the EPL

Update your knowledge

most players gotten from the championship are always teenagers, brought in to continue there development

andrew444:
If i give you list of players epl buy from championship you go run,no allow me mention abeg.

Where did man u buy winfred zaha from as at then?

Where did chelsea buy cahill from on a free transfer?

where did arsenal buy rob holding from?

If you need more please let me know so i will give you

zaha got promoted with Crystal palace before moving to Manchester United
