Haha lol. Diouf was very erratic to watch man. I know Diouf very well. The ability was obviously there but nothing come out long term. Inconsistent as fcck.

I think your mind is set on Diouf and me no go round around with you man. If Kane didn't join Bayern same question would've been asked of him. Adebayo was a regular at top clubs like Arsenal, Mancity(pre ban) and Spurs. Both achieved nothing at club level but one was a starter at the aforementioned clubs.

For me, there's no way Diouf did well as a footballer more than Adebayo. No way with me. But for you, there's a way so you're right.

Diouf had 2 years and that is it. Before 2001 he did nothing. After 2002 he did nothing.

It is on paper you can compare him to Adebayor. The clubs Diouf played for before 2002 were otu oshi. The clubs he played for after 2004 were otu oshi.

Adebayor played for Monaco in 2003 and in 2011 he was playing for Madrid and 2014 he was still playing for Spurs.

What has Kane achieved in football before he joined Bayern ,even now that he has joined Bayern he still haven’t achieved much

Someone like you will rate lesser players than Kane before they won more trophies

Gbam!

Even Senegalese would not pick Diouf as the best Senegalese that donned their national team colours

timbros:
Nobody is rating Diouf as the best Senegalese player. Make una no dey do like this.

A list was given and I observed that Diouf is better than a name on the list. How does that translate to Diouf being the best player from Senegal?

timbros:
The bolded summarise everything. And I completely agree with the bolded.

Now, since both of them achieved nothing at club level, what about National Team level? Shouldn't that be the tie breaker?

timbros:
That 2 years made him better than Adebayor.

I still haven't seen anything that you guys mention Adebayor did aside playing for bigger teams. I'm sure if the table was turned and Adebayor had the kind of performance Diouf had in 2002 World Cup, this place will be flooded on why Adebayor is better.

You commented on Owen few days ago. How many years did Owen had before the injury that derailed his career? But history will never forget Owen because of those 2 to 3 years.

BlueRayDick:
Adebayor scored 11 goals in the 2006 World cup qualifiers Playing for a Minnow team like Togo. He dragged them to the world cup being the highest goal scorer. They played against superior teams like Mali, Zambia, Congo, Liberia and Senegal in the qualifiers o.

If that doesn't add a feather to Adebayor's cap, I wonder what will convince u Adebayor was a better player than Diouf on the pitch

AirBere:
Bruh, Adebayo played for Togo, Diouf played for Senegal. Senegal is significantly a better team than Togo. It's like asking what Haaland has achieved with Norway because Morata won Euros with Spain. We all know that Haaland clears Morata. Since there's a disparity at international level, we look at what they've done at club level.

On Adebayo, he was the top scorer in qualifiers, l think he scored 10-12 goals that period, can't recall correctly but I know he was top scorer African world cup qualifiers leading to 2006 world cup. His goals qualified Togo to the tournament. Togo is yet to qualify again since that time.

On that list, ability wise, Diouf like Okocha had more to give. But say do well as a professional footballer, Adebayo clears both at club level. Just like how Suarez has better ability(better player) while Benzema has achieved more as a professional footballer.

In 2004, he was named in the FIFA 100, a list of the 125 greatest living footballers selected by Pelé in conjunction with FIFA's centenary celebrations.

That your bolded is exactly what you guys use to rate Diouf lower in club level and it's funny. Lol

Bruh, Diouf played for Bolton and Rangers, Adebayor played for Arsenal and Real Madrid. Real Madrid is significantly a better team than Bolton.

Do you get the twist now?

timbros:
And what happened in the main tournament itself?

BlueRayDick:
I think he's just using Nostalgia to rate Diouf higher than the performance he displayed throughout his career.

Adebayor was runner up in the race for golden boot behind C.Ronaldo in the EPL, he had EPL goal of the season to his credit in 07/08 and also made the EPL team of that same year. Na the person he dey use compare Diouf be that.

LOL you are comparing apples and car mirror.

Adebayor was born in Togo and Diouf was born in Senegal.

Neither of them was born in Bolton, Madrid, London so there must be a reason big clubs kept signing one of them while the other was touring yeye clubs.

You haven’t seen because you don’t want to see.

Diouf has those 2 years and nothing else. Outside that nothing. Outside those 2 years he was playing for otu oshi clubs and dropping otu oshi stats.

Adebayor had his 1st year when he carried Togo to the World Cup in 2006.
He had his 2nd year in 2007 when he won BBC African player of the year.
He had his 3rd year in 2008 when he won CAF player of the year AND PFA Team of the Year.

You see that PFA Team of the year. Dem no born anybody in Diouf village well to try to enter that kain team.

Outside these 3 years Adebayor had 2009-2010 when he scored 14 EPL goals. He had 2010-2012 when he scored 17 EPL goals.

Lol. You can't choose where to play for at international level if you're already capped. Once you're capped, I think 1,2 or 3 times you're stuck with your selected country till you retire.

At club level, it's what you do at those small clubs that'll determine where you end up. Diouf failed so hard at his first big move(Liverpool) Struggled at lowly Rangers in the freaking Scottish league wey average players dey use farm goals. Adebayo did well at Monaco, climbed to Arsenal, did well again, made a big move to City, got banned which affected his future there, joined Madrid, won Copa del Rey, then moved to Spurs and kept banging in the goals.

I still think that you're of the opinion about what he(Diouf) should've done because the potential was there but the reality is that Adebayo did better than Diouf. It's very clear brother.

BlueRayDick:
You said "I still haven't seen anything that you guys mention Adebayor did aside playing for bigger teams".

Now I showed you what he did playing for a smaller team and you are asking me what happened in the main tournament.

At least I have been able to show you that Adebayor was not just about playing for big teams, he was a consistent performer on the pitch both in his national colours and that of the clubs he represented. Same can't be said of Diouf.

We are talking of individual achievements you dey talk of runner up

So that's the only thing u saw there abi? Why didn't you comment on the fact that Adebayor scored 11 goals to drag Togo to their first and only world cup appearance?

Why din't you speak to the fact that Adebayor performed at the top teams he played for while Diouf flopped scandalously?

Diouf kor, Djemba Djemba ni.

Those of us that watched the mega way Diouf flopped at Liverpool can't be deceived. In his 2nd and final season, he played 33 games and scored ZERO goal. Goalkeeper stats.
