Lmao the people you give the best player tag is funny as hell grin
Ziyech is already in the EPL, no need for stats. There's Mahrez, Salah, Keita, Mane, Aubameyang, but you'll remember this quote next year:

"Ziyech Is Africa's Best Player."

I guess Fekir dreamt of Betis as well

Lyon to Betis was a downgrade imo

He almost joined Liverpool

Fact is: Dessers(God knows i love this guy) is not better than all our options

His career path to date is average

Good players at his age are taking a leap to a bigger league and club

He settled for Genk..(Or maybe Genk settled for him)

Either ways, he isn't the best we've got

And if e feels e want to play for Belgium, i wish him goodluck(He's than Benteke sha... Batman?? I strongly doubt)
God knows I don't hate that guy, infact I respect him so much for declaring for us, but that's the only reason I want him for the national team, for that reward of loyalty... On strictly football matters he isn't better than any of our players...

But why would the highest goal scorer of the eredivisie go to Genk? Why not club brugge or anderletch or the toppest team on Belgium... Abeg I like the guy, .make I no cast am.. m

8 goals, 10 assists in his first season

That's okay for me
Not okay for me because he is a winger who scores much

The fact that he is now in the EPL despite not kicking the ball yet does not in anyway tell us how he is Africa's Best Player

Till next season
Remember you said Dessers is better than Osimhen and Haaland grin

It will only take a full season next season to debunk this fake news grin

Na this season him break out, then he still has to do another audition at Genk before a lot of people are convinced, well that's the only explanation for his move to Genk...

Calm down bro, Ousmane dembele is not a goal scorer we noticed that before we purchased him okay and we are okay with dembele apart from his numerous injuries

If nicolas pepe is not much of a goal scorer arsenal wont purchase for that amount

Despite auba playing from the flanks which is not his posotion is scoring almost all arsenal goals

Not just we barca fans but any team that want to be successfull

Take a look at the goals mane and salah is getting, if mane and salah are wingers who doesnt score goals then liverpool will not win the epl

He is not better than haaland but somewhat equal with osimhen. BUT he is our most experienced striker for now. However we have many options in his position. Also the younger strikers may be better than him in 2 to 3 years time. He is a very good player anyway.

Pepe did not have a bad first season, So I guess Griezeman was not signed for his goals too abi? What about Ansu fati?

Aubameyang has always lethal from the flanks and as a striker, you should not even be using a world class player as an example, The Liverpool you mentioned don't play with a striker but have two top of not world class wingers, klopp's wide players are the engine of the team unlike other teams that depend on a poacher

Goan sleep if you can't read abeg

TheGoodJoe:
Which one is sentimental again.

My point is simple. Rodgers is more tactically deep than Mourinho. Mourinho will always park bus when he meets a far superior tactically sound team. Which shows he is not as good as many believe.

Finito.
Because mourhino defends, Rodgers is better tactically? That's like saying Norwich coach is better than Mourinho because he plays pure attacking football grin
Rodgers is nowhere near Mourinho tactically and overall. Even pep being better than mourhino is very debatable.
You tagged Simeone athletico boring, most Liverpool matches with Liverpool leading gets boring. Liverpool plays defensive football (counter attack is a defensive approach) and you'll expect Liverpool fans to take Rodgers over klopp because he plays attacking football?
You think leceister fans would want attacking Rodgers over mourhino?
Being tactical is about playing to bring results which mourhino does consistently.
Don't forget mourhino coached a mediocre man u side to second place and Europa trophy.
You could have said Rodgers is more attacking but you saying he's more tactical is very wrong. A tactical Coach won't bottle a 14 point lead from fifth neither would he bottle the last match against man United.
Mourinho is far superior tactically and overall.

Yeye people
I'm not hyping Maja, I haven't watched a full match of dessers nor Maja, what I'm saying is the clips I watched of both of them, instantly I liked Maja, if I even see the guy picture I might not know him just to let you know it's not bias or anything, just what I saw, I saw their goals and highlights and I'm more impressed with Majas movement, the way he strikes the ball, some of his goals etc, comparing them i feel Maja is better, Ball wise, scoring wise, club wise, league wise and age wise...

I will recommend Josh Maja to Gernot rhor, if I was asked... I feel he is the best to understudy osihmen in the National team... I hope he comes good...


Also I will watch dessers henceforth , maybe I haven't done him justice, just maybe... So I will watch the guy again... One more thing, the big men here have been silent on the dessers guy, chriskels don't think we will miss him, nerdy hasn't said anything on the guy, I would like to know what the Goodjoe would say and komekn, since he is not naija breed or borrogh, so no emotive bias something here...

Dude is Nigeria's most complete striker. Better than Osimhen not to mention the others.

If he decides to switch allegiance, I'd be gutted but we'll survive.
Rohr is extremely faithful to proven players just as Onyekuru stated, and we have so many good, not better, but younger strikers.

So it's easier to break into Red Devils than the Super Eagles.
This was the post that started the whole argument

TheLoneCitizen made this assertion, i countered

Wetin bring Haaland come!?

And where did i say he is better than Osimhen?
