I apologize even with your vitriolic rhetoric.

I did Alhassan a major disservice, I rated him much higher than the league and club he plays for. In a careless error, I attributed his outstanding talent's to the Eredivise.

He actually plays in the Belgium first division the Jupiler Pro League to be exact.

The Jupiler Pro League is rated number 14 in Europe and the Eredivise a whopping 7 places above . To put into perspective the Scottish premier League is ranked more or less on par with English league one, that league is ranked number 9 in Europe.

The Belgium national team squad will have 30+ players in it and 7 have come from the Belgium league, are they the core players of the team. A big resounding No.

My friend you are clutching at straws in desperation to prove what , arrant nonsense.
Here we go again.

Highest attendance is talking about the number of people that watched the match in the stadium... Aside Old Trafford, how many stadiums in the EPL have capacity above 60k?

Post the TV viewership make we see

Komekn's logic: The Scottish league is rated on the same level as the English league one by a roadside football analyst like me, therefore, any league ranked below the Scottish league is on par with English league two... cheesy

How can any sane person talk as if the world football revolves around England? The English might have invented the game, but they didn't perfect it..They don't totally own it.. It's unlike how the Americans own basketball that they invented...

Gbam!

Canada is ranked a gaping 30 places below the USA and 11 places below Nigeria, therefore Alphonso Davies cannot be considered to be at the same level as Antonee Robinson and Zaidu Sanusi. Neither can Bayern Munich match the quality of Fulham and FC Porto. Abeg where you go school?


komekn:
Do you know that Napoli top midfielder Anguissa was considered not good enough for Fulham and he went on loan to Napoli. Nonetheless, he meets the needs perfectly for Napoli. That doesn't mean Napoli is not as good as Fulham they just have different player requirements

You may not realize this, but different clubs look for different attributes in players. And I said it then and I will say it now Sanusi was not good enough then and he is still not good enough now.

The type of technically astute as well as physically resilient players that Fulham require, he Sanusi doesn't meet there particular requirements.

Sanusi is fast, but technically astute and intelligent in the context of Fulham a big No.

If Sanusi is so good why has he remained at Porto earning a pittance of £6k a week in football terms.

The current left back for Fulham is Antonee Robinson (Jedi) he has had 29 caps for the USA. In 2020 when playing for Wigan AC Milan put in a bid for £13+ million terms were agreed but Jedi FAILED the medical. Not to long after he went to Fulham the rest is history. He is on a basic salary excluding bonus of £27k a week .

Nigeria is ranked by FIFA at 34 the USA is ranked 14.

The Portuguese league is ranked 6th in Europe and the EPL number 1.

So it's not emotive preference that led me to the conclusion that Jedi is much better in the context of Fulham and it's player requirements.

No doubt Sanusi is a good player but he is not the type of player for Fulham but Jedi is.

If a club really wants you they will meet the valuation.

However,if they have a different value from your parent club, they will just leave you. They AC Milan didn't value him enough.

Borussia Dortmund payed £25 million for a 16 year old midfielder Jude Billingham from the Championship.
I got an answer for the question in bold:

komekn:
Why has he stayed at Manchester City ❓ First of all not many clubs can afford him. Secondly, playing reserve team and or going on loan is quite normal in a world class team. Because there are better more experienced and expensive defenders ahead of him.

you probably know that a plethora of EPL clubs came looking for Tosin but City refused to sell him.
Re: "The Super Eagles Thread: The Road To AFCON 2027, 2028 And 2030 World Cup by tglobal(m): 12:17am On Sep 20, 2022
A marker of a good and objective analyst is how well they can assess a player's qualities, irrespective of the country they ply their trade.

Our pretentious komekn would only base his assessment on whether or not a player has been involved in English football. You cannot blame him since that is the extent of his knowledge.

Once upon a time in 2020, a few on this thread were clamoring for the invitation of Frank Onyeka when he was still with FC Midtjylland . Here are a few comments that represented the position of our objective friend :

komekn:
Look at Frank Onyeka getting paid English league one wages in the poor quality Danish Super league.

If he was given a chance to come to the Championship you think he will not jump, but then that's if he is good enough.
komekn:
Apologies, l speculated that Frank Onyeka was on at least €180k euro I was wrong, he is on €150k that's not per week but annual.

you probably know that a plethora of EPL clubs came looking for Tosin but City refused to sell him.

Finally, you really cannot compare a Manchester City player with Frank Onyeka playing in the backwaters of European football leagues to a EPL player.

Finally, finally forgot to add, if the Championship is a low quality league, what then is the Danish Super league a super low poor quality league.
komekn:
Danish league is a low quality league.

However, you say Onyeka was outstanding, then why has he remained at FC Midtjylland he has been there for four seasons.

When you are outstanding in your club and league, clubs take notice and you move on.

Frank Onyeka will be getting paid peanuts in comparison to better leagues and clubs. From what's been published he earns a paltry €180k a year.

So why is a claimed outstanding quality player still in a mediocre league getting paid peanuts.

WHY has nobody put in a substantive offer to take him to at least a top 10 league.
To paraphrase: "He is not involved with English football, therefore he must be piss poor'

Fast forward two seasons later - after a move to his beloved premiership, Onyeka all of a sudden has few competitors in the Super Eagles.

The same folks who saw him as good enough for the call up then are now pointing out that there are other midfielders who can offer more than Onyeka now. Quite a few already stated that Onyedika is an even better player than him as far back as 12 months ago. They did not need 2 failed bids from AC Milan to know that.

1. Azeez is still clubless
2. Last 6 matches in the MLS for Igbekeme
3. Last 6 in the MLS for Nwobodo
4. Azubuike MIA - currently with Basaksehir
5. Sokari limited statistical ratings
6. agbo stats in UEFA conference league — not a regular in the Slovakian Superliga


AndSunGorilla:
Thanks boss. Could we have similar data for Ramon Azeez, James Igbekeme, Obinna Nwobodo, Azubuike, Kingsley Sokari, Uche Agbo as well. Thank you sir.

Forest would have tripped awoniyi salary ,no be me go feed him family so he should cash out ,a return to union Berlin will be so easy for awoniyi so nothing to be worried of

If awoniyi stayed at union Berlin and continues his rich form ,trust me ,Bayern Munich and Dortmund might not be far away ,he should just keep working hard at the epl and give us more goals

Your proposition is infantile and lacking substance, the quality of the league and club you play for is pivotal in appraising your attributes and qualities.

Your proposition in the bold, does not follow any rational path your using self birthed conjecture and assumptive bias to make your own misguided conclusions.

I didn't rate Onyeka before and even now he has not been outstanding, considering his time in the EPL with Brentford. He is there but largely anonymous, he is not making any waves.

However, in comparison to what we have outside of Ndidi he is possibly the best option as a DM then again Ajayi can also play that position.
