Are most of Leicester fans not English too??
If that's the case then emotions and sentiment is involved

Talk about bias and favoritism that has blinded reasoning. By all means be a fanatical fan but don't loose all sense of reasoning in the process.

Vardy is not the most important player in Leicester.

Chei lost for words.

So you will not vote for the best goal, but just vote for KC or Ndidi.

You have a different measurement for excellence which is based on favoritism and bias.
Does Ndidi not deserve a shot as Leicester player of the season??

Even Sky sports named him Leciester's MVP during the covid-19 break

then I guess sky sports is biased then

Fred went to the 2014 World Cup and not the last one
Fred made the 2018 squad while playing in Ukraine ahead of Allan who had a record breaking season with Napoli in Seria A

my point is don't be quick to judge based on the clubsides they play.

And so what ? And so do Belgium

Paulinho ? Renato Augusto who was so good at Bayern Leverkusen but he has to go to China for the money ,you all saw that Paulinho later played for Barcelona ,someone that was Brazil best player behind Neymar during the qualifiers

You can also ask Martinez for taking witsel ,Carracco to the World Cup while they are playing in China
I thought u were using the clubs they play as a benchmark, going by that then they shouldn't make their respective squads.

You think those yeye player will make it to any tournament ? because dem call them for maiden friendly ,I am speaking of cementing a place in the Brazil national team and starting games in qualifiers and tournament and not those yeye friendly

If Wesley Moraes is a Nigerian and I am the coach I might not call him self

Ndidi does no wrong in my eyes but he won’t start for Brazil playing for Leicester

If ndidi was a Brazilian he should be playing for one of the biggest teams in the world

Allan of Napoli is not starting for Brazil ,Brazil might not be like before but they still have one of the best teams in the world
Uncle, Brazil took a player who plied his trade in China to the World cup


Even Fred Follow self go world cup

Ndidi start in Brazil while playing for Leicester ?

You must be kidding me ,maybe casemerio is a basketballer
Same Brazil called up Wesley and Douglas Luiz in Aston Villa. Same Brazil called up Andreas Periera of Man Utd while he was in Valencia.

With Performance like this season Ndidi will definitely make Brazil squad, might not start tho


Brazil do not have the quality of players like they use to posses before.


BTW if Ndidi was a Brazilian with his performance at Leicester City, do you think he will still be at Leicester??

I repeat l do not dislike players.

Maybt. I am being too measured in a professional sense. So l look at the players attributes in relation to the club that wants him and their requirements.

Using that assessment framework, l found Awaziem too slow to play RB, but very intelligent to play within his limitations. Nonetheless, he was the weakest link in the last AFCON he was turned inside out as a right back. His lack of pace pulling the CB's put of position to compensate for him.

On the other hand Aina was the best defender despite playing less games the AFCON statistics proved that so it is not just opinion based.
I thought you said Stats are not conclusive. Why are u now using it as a benchmark to determine our best defender at the last AFCON. Again, Double standards

Oga, don't mind these guys jare. They mostly use sentiments to hype. This same Zubby is a confirmed bench warmer. They always say "Zubby is balling in midfield" when in reality he is playing rubbish. He is not better than what we have presently. He played the last olympic qualifier tournament and did not make an impact.
No one has said he'll bench Ndidi or Etebo or Aribo. We are simply talking of him adding numbers to our midfield in case of injuries

Congratulations for where they are and where they have come from.

But this Turkish league is very low quality when we talk about quality leagues. And it cannot be a benchmark for attainment and or even consideration for the SE. It's rated below the top 10 in Europe.

It's a retirement league for players no longer able to meet the standards of better quality and more competitive leagues.

They need to do a lot more.
But Aribo who plays in a league ranked lower than that can be invited bah??

By now you should have updated your knowledge just by being here. You are well operating on a DOS system when we have moved to Windows 10 and beyond.

Even Lukaku who you would term a typical number 9 played wing at Manchester United.

We talk about forward players now not just strikers, why because they interchange with positions.

To quote you verbatim ;

Bournemouth set to be relegated, Solanke has blood on his hands, he's supposed to be their key source of goals but he failed them with just a paltry 2 goals to his nam


My point was to educate you that Solanke was never meant to be thier number one striker. So your proposition is simply not true, you lack knowledge and understanding.

In all the time you have been here you have not learned much. Sad
Regardless he is a waste man and he has failed. A 20 million pound striker should be scoring goals .Stop your double standards. You use one standard for Iheanacho and you use another for Solanke

I doubt Rohr would call Nwakaeme or even Simy...Rohr likes them young and fresh
I was referring to Zubby. Zubby is just 23 officially and he's a midfielder, a position where we lack much personnel. He playing in the UCL and Azeez in the Europa league will be good for us

Lol... Yes. Congrats to Azubuike Okechukwu and his side Istanbul Basaksehir. Champions of Turkey. UCL secured.

Trabzonspor lost today despite leading 3-1 until 80mins or so... Konyaspor eventually won 4-3. Crazy match. But they remain in the Champions league spot. Would be nice to see Nwakaeme in the UCL as great reward for his efforts this season.
Seems he has been offered a permanent deal. It would be nice to see him feature for his club in the Champions League which might earn him a recall to the super eagles

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.
iheanacho won't bench Obafemi??

I give up on you

Leave go wherehuh

Like l have said before statistics are not conclusive they are indicative. They are supposed to guide you in making an informed objective decision and are not the decision in themselves.

If Indeed those statistics are true.

What does it actually mean❓ that he is outstanding quality, a top defender his team is top quality, etc.

Paderborn is a poor team that has been on the relegation bottom slot from the inception of the Bundesliga.

Out of 34 games played in the Bundesliga they only were able to win 4, the end up with a total points tally of 20 pts. The next team to them had 30 points.

That tells us the team literally spent the whole season defending indeed they conceded 74 goals the highest in the league.

That means that they will probably have the highest blocks, interceptions, clearances, because that's what they came to do DESPERATE DAN DEFENDING.

It's a reflection of very poor quality and inability nothing to commend. Colin sadly remains poor quality desperate Dan defender.
Agreed about this one
