The things wey you write too long

Slimani played in Portugal and Epl is better than Portugal so no big deal he didn't score much in Leicester .

Should I bring list of players from Spain that tore the Epl apart ? I don't as it's not needed na Portugal league power you go get

Tammy Abraham is good and he is Epl standard ,na him know why him go Aston villa

Paul onuachu will not go to a championship club unless money is involved ,just as Ruben neves joined wolves from Porto

Now salah didn't score for fun in Italy but he is scoring for fun in England ,so is Italian league better than the Epl ?

Benteke tore Epl apart should I remind you ?

You are so bias ,as you has to use slimani as your example ,why didn't you use a player from laliga that flopped in the Epl ? You had to use slimani as the scape goat
and surprisingly he forgot to say anything about Solanke

Because you are being so emotive you have can't be objective.

First of all remove your allegiance or sentiment with regards to KC.

Then look at how the football market reacts to players in general who are under achieving. There is no sentiment. These are well established trends and the dynamics of the football market.

Clubs on an upward progression buy in form players not players not in form or completely lost it.

Considering KC current record at Leicester who do you think will buy him.huhhuh ❓ What exacerbates matters for him, is that he has no unique selling point. Is he a striker, is he AM, winger or SS. Nobody really knows. Or do youhuh

Remember Silimani scoring for fun in Portugal for Sporting. He came for £28 million transfer fee with huge expectations after 38 games for Leicester he has scored 8 goals. He has been shipped to Fenerbache his career in England almost over.

Back to KC if you are in the lower half of the EPL you need goals to survive relegation and or shift up the league table. Would you honestly buy KChuh ❓ Add the context of English football and what type of attributes are needed to excel in the EPL and or Championship. Then ask yourself the question does KC for the profilehuh ❓ for a Striker in English football.

Let's look at the Championship, put in mind the nature of the Championship. Norwich is top of the table, West Bromwich are fourth and Aston Villa are 5th. Do you think any of these clubs will have him is he better than what they have or rather can get deliver as a front man No. 9 huh

But you in your mind you call this prejudice.

It's very possible that in a less physical and intense league KC nay find his footing and show his attributes once more. That league may be Turkey or something similar.

Benteke is a big brute of a player that is an undeniable striker, he is struggling at Crystal Palace. But put him in the Championship and he may excel or in a team that plays with a front man. Why because he fits that PROFILE. However, that not withstanding nobody will pay £30+ million for him anymore.

This is why there are clubs queuing up for Tega Abrahams. Already 23 goals in the Championship he delivers and fits the profile.

It's actually much easier for Paul Onuachu to get a Championship club than KC. Why he fits the profile requirements for Championship football in England.

Dominic Iorfa moved to Sheffield Wednesday and until yesterday since he joined had not lost in 8 games or nore. He has also scored 3 goals as a RB, in 11 games.Thats quite impressive for a defensive player.

Bearing this in mind WHO IS BIASED and UNHINGED with Prejudice with regards to Dominic Iorfa.
Maybe Fulham or a championship side

Victor Moses and many other flops played under Rodgers at Liverpool, its not like once you play under him you become a star

Continue deceiving yourself
Same thing I keep saying over and over again. Because Victor Moses was on the bench did not mean he was stagnating. That education with Rodgers played a part in his development.

I hope what goodjoe is saying happens but I know it won't

The best thing that can ever happen to nacho is leaving Leicester
You people are fond of misunderstanding someone's point. No one says Nacho should stay a lifetime with Brendan Rodgers. I said spend the coming season, see what happens but most importantly soak in the knowledge.

After that, hunt for playing time but it must be in an offensive side that will guarantee playing time.

Based on your assessment, there is no need interviewing coaches about players. When Rohr said something negative about Iheanacho, a lot of you jumped on it like the sweetest Ice cream of all time, why did you not tag Rohr’s words on Iheanacho fool's paradise? Or Rohr was not talking about a player.

As I said before, Rodgers has nothing to gain to lie.

Finito.
The man is actually right. You shouldn't take those press statements too seriously. Some of that is just meal for the Press and it's well within their rights to say whatever. What they actually go on to do at work can be utterly different.


I'm surprised you don't know this. going by the direction of your argument.

Bench does not kill players as long as the players are working hard to keep improving on the training ground.

Soyuncu has been on the Leicester City bench for five months. Rodgers gave him a nod yesterday and he had an outstanding game.

So players should focus on improving than looking for game time in mediocre systems.

Out.
Soyuncu is a gem. Nice to see him playing again. One of the best young CBs around.

Sodje raises alarm over influx of foreign coaches to Super Eagles


By Alex Monye | 08 April 2019 | 4:08 am



Former Super Eagles defender, Sam Sodje has raised the alarm over the influx of foreign coaches to the national team’s coaching crew.
He is worried that the large number of foreign coaches working with Coach Gernot Rohr is ridiculing Nigerian coaches, adding that it is denying trained and qualified local coaches the opportunity to get the necessary experience.

Sodje said he is worried that the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) keeps spending money on foreign coaches without getting the desired results, stressing that the Eagles posted the worst result in its World Cup history in 2018. Nigeria, he said, was kicked out of the competition in the group stage despite the presence of foreign coaches on its bench.

On the chances of the Super Eagles in this year’s Nations Cup, the former Leeds United of England player said Nigeria would only excel in Egypt if the coach worked hard to build a formidable team.

He noted that Nigeria has what it takes to be champions of Africa owing to the young and committed players in the squad, adding, however, that the Eagles coaches must fashion out a distinct playing pattern for the team.

“I am worried that in the Super Eagles team we have about five foreign coaches working with Gernot Rohr. This is slavery.

“When Westerhof was the Eagles coach, he only had one assistant. I see no reason the Nigerian team will have more foreign assistants when there are a lot of top coaches in Nigeria who don’t have jobs.

“The NFF claims they don’t have money, but they can afford to pay these expatriate coaches with foreign currencies, while abandoning the domestic ones.

“The foreign coaches’ impact has not been felt since Rohr took charge of the team. How can Nigerian coaches grow? The foreign coaches working in Nigeria collect the money and leave the country with nothing to show for it,” he said.

The Guardian recalls that last week, the NFF appointed more foreign assistants in the Super Falcons set up ahead of the France 2019 Women World Cup.

Sodje says the influx of the foreign coaches has not given Nigeria a playing pattern.

“In modern coaching, a team must be known for a pattern. What I think the Eagles need now is to have a solid defence. A good defensive coach will solve this problem. If you have a good defence and an organised attack, your team will excel.

“Nigerian defenders played well against Egypt in the international friendly, but you will also understand that the early goal affected Egypt players’ psyche. They almost dominated the game. Looking at the current Eagles defenders, for me Leon Balogun is a good defender, but you will observe that he cannot play two straight games because he is injury prone.

“The Nations Cup is tough due to the display of power by African teams. So can he withstand the pressure.” These are qualities the coach should be looking out for in Balogun and other Super Eagles players,”

Do you know the problem of all this our Ex- internationals are, they believe that the NFf should fall to their feet to give them jobs, instead for them to go out to coach other teams and build their CV so that NFF can look at their side.

There are a lot of lesser African countries that will gladly hire them. let them start from there. Let them take a leaf from Late Keshi and Amuneke.

Look at their Siasia, always looking to get Nigerian job instead for him to go to other countries to look for job. some top and average countries can even give him Job sef due to his achievements in Age grade for Nigeria.

Let them build their CV, so that NFF can be begging them with foreign currency when they become too coach.
