Does it remove from the fact that Fulham are not favorites for relegation? Besides what we are saying is that the Onomatopiea you are touting as the savior of Nigeria's midfield cannot make the bench of a lowly team in the EPL
Tell me which of our players will bench Rueben Loftus-Cheek.

Lowly Fulham FC is what you call it.

Don't let your prejudice and negative bias completely remove all sense of reasoning from you.

obviously you were not following my conversation with basco. he said rohr is clueless for not knowing how to utilize Onuachu which I countered by saying if Ighalo, KC and Osimhen are doing well under him maybe Paul is the one with the issue.

plus you all are talking as if i'm commenting based on this one match. i'v seen Onuachu in 5 good matches it's only the Egypt friendly i can say he did
well.

again with the language. if you know you can't engage in a civil polite discuss anytime i say something you disagree with jump and pass my comments better still don't quote me
I dont need to follow your arguement with basco , i was interested in you expecting magic from a single cross which i am not even sure of .

Ok explain with substantive detail and in reference to FIFA regulatory guidelines why Ademola Lookman who committed to Nigeria near two years ago as well as Ovie Ejaria.

Why it has taken two years.

And if you cannot then who is talking ARRANT NONSENSE.

who was expecting magic? i said he actually got a cross so saying he got absolutely no service would be false plus you keep ignoring the fact that I already said he didn't get enough service from the flanks.

our elders have a saying that it's from the morning you will know how the day will turn out.

yes it's early days but the Fulham i'm seeing hasn't been impressive and if they don't get their bearings right and they are still in the relegation spots by early January then I'm afraid it might be curtains.

Coach Parker needs to do better tactics wise. he has a few good players now so he should not use lack of quality personnel as an excuse.

As for Onomah there's still time for him to impress but the way you were hyping him almost saying he would walk straight into the SE have to say he has been really tepid.
I will remind you to look at EPL history and consider the position of Leicester in 2015/16 who were relegation candidates but then changed form and won the title tjat season with Ranieri.

Everything in context, which of our midfielders will displace Rueben Loftus-Cheek in any team.

You are talking like we have world class midfielders, be realistic.

komekn they already told you that it was earlier this year that Lookman filed for his change of allegiance plus the fact that 3 other FAs will also have to agree means it will take time and don't forget this year has been largely hindered by the effects of covid-19 which plausibly could have also caused the delay

i am surprised despite your so called "British football knowledge" you don't know it takes long steps/procedures for an English to switch coz the Four UK's federation decision is paramount and instrumental for the move his switch should have been completed this October coz it started late January this year but the pandemics plays a very serious role in this so by November or latest December it should be completed that if he didnt the withdraw the process.

Ndidi will definitely bench any day anytime but I am not sure about the rest.
First of all Ndidi as good as he is is limited to DM and that's essentially it.

Rueben Loftus-Cheek is far more versatile, technically superior, one thing Ndidi beats him on emphatically is he is not Injury prone like Rueben.

Finally, no prejudice for those who think Ndidi is world class. Do you think Ndidi will displace anybody in the England midfield❓

If iwobi is still at arsenal he would have been capped by england even if na 10 caps self

Lets see if loftus cheek will still make the team playing at fulham, playing for chelsea made him won about 10 caps for england, i am not calling him a bad player thou but i dont know why chelsea had to loan him out again

Loftus that cannot fight for a place in chelsea with players like mount and co

two yearshuh ya a clown as at September 2018 he was approached verbally and he agreed and I can attest to that two months later he changed his mind after speaking with aidy boothrody after this he was in the wilderness in Everton then again he came out and said he is ready and his switch started immediately on February 2020 so where do you see your two years.

(My opinion)Ndidi is world class, and no england dm is better than ndidi, is it Kalvin phillip ,rice or a below average harry winks ?

Even if ndidi is not world class he is close to and will start for many european nations, i can give you examples, you no say me no dey sugarcoat i go talk am as i see am

I will rather have ndidi in my barca than Frenkie De Jong

Shebi ndidi no sabi pass ball according to some people, Wetin frenkie de jong dey pass for barca since him 75 million euros move and my guy na sure starter for club and national team grin

Loftus Cheek is not the one preventing Onomah from not playing, Cainey played, Anguissa played even Lemina and Reed was on the bench

Komekn bringing up Loftus Cheek is a way of twisting fact to fit his agenda
What position has Tega played predominantly in Fulham FC it's as an AM.

I personally think the last few games his form has dipped. But the season has started and Rueben is much better than him and immediately takes the AM position. However, will he stay injury freehuh ❓ In the EPL you need a strong squad.

So Tega will still play but now he has to compete and fight for a position. Thats modern football in a EPL team.

Leicester City started the 2015/2016 well so there is no comparison with Fulham who have started poorly and are currently in the relegation places.

Why are you avoiding mentioning the other Fulham midfield players? so it's only RLC that Onomah can displace?

Unfortunately our preferences are not reflected in the football market.

Ndidi for reasons unknown has not been able to generate interest in his outstanding talent by big clubs, WHY ❓

It's not about price alone.

Arsenal went to go and get Athletico Madrid DM Partey, Everton decided to go for Dacour from relegated Watford. Going back in time even PSG preferred a much older Gueye and paid £30 million for him, than go for a supposed much better Ndidi.

So step back, put aside your emotive preferences and there has to be a reason.

When Cardiff was in the EPL Sol Bamba had better stats than Virgil Van Dyke. But nobody came in for him Bamba he is back in the Championship with Cardiff. The question is Why❓

The decision to buy a player will not test entirely on statistics. Because statistics are indicative and not conclusive, there are many things that are not captured by stats.

With regards to Ndidi, he will not make the England team. His passing range is very limited and his ability to change the game offensively limited. There are other DM who do this much better than him.

Again putting emotive sentiment and national preference aside. However, if he adds s better passing range and tactical game management that they noise game, then he could see himself in a much bigger team.
