The entirety of End product in your football dictionary equates to GOALS alone according to you.

Zaha arguably the best winger in the EPL how many goals has he scored this season. And even previous seasons.

Finally, l apologise if l said that you in particular made multifaceted excuses for KC when he has not been perfoming. My statement was intended to be in general

What l should have said that on this thread where KC is concerned in general making multifaceted excuses has been the overriding trend.

Nobody has said that Sarr has been outstanding in the EPL. My posts have said that he had been largely dissapointing.

However, l qualified it with circumstances not excuses so as to be balancedand not too harsh. Particularly as he has been consistently outstanding in the French league one as a winger.

In this regard he has been here in the EPL for 3/4 months struggling with injuries.
@The bolded

wetin Musa no go see for gate.

So Zaha is the best winger in the EPL so far? Even willian that Chelsea fans usually tongue lash has even been better than him this season.

KC is improving and the more he plays the more he will improve.

However, playing the adventurous system Leicester did against Villa is tactical by the Manager. And a reflection of how they see Villa.

I doubt if they would play that same system against a stronger EPL team.
You've definitely not been watching Leicester at all this season.

They play their Normal game irrespective of how big the opponent involved. They gave Liverpool a run for their money and lost to an Injury time VAR awarded penalty and almost beat Chelsea, while playing adventurous in both games.

That's not true. He's not better than Mings. Dude is even bad when it comes to aerial balls. The only thing he's good at is that he can use the ball and can pass well from the back.

This is not true. It's just fallacy of hasty generalisation at best.

Do you know how many times Madrid came for Scholes? yet the guy didn't leave Man Utd. Even Rooney at a point was disturbed by Barca, before they went for David Villa, but Rooney still never wanted to leave England.

The thing is, not everyone has a dream of playing for both clubs like most y'all Barca and Madrid fans like to make people believe. For every player that went on Strike, just to join Barca or Madrid , there are many other players that rejected them as well.

Dude will end up playing as a CB for us, if he doesn't improve on his offensive in a season or two, as he fits the profile to make a good centre back.

You DISSAPOINTMENT me because you are suppose to be the future of Nigeria. What a bleak future with people like you.

You are supposed to be lawyer and in that context there should have been a transfer of the associated skill set as well as methodology in most of your engagements.

BUT THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NONE.

You should be investigative factual but instead your emotive where substantive deduction are required you are opinionated. How on earth do you intend to be a good lawyer even if you don't practice.

You talk without substance with supposition birthed from prejudiced perception.

Below the fifa definition of home grown players.

My reference to "home grown" was in the context of the FIFA definition not one created by myself.

UEFA defines locally-trained or 'homegrown' players as those who, regardless of their nationality, have been trained by their club or by another club in the same national association for at least three years between the age of 15 and 21.
Bros, you don't even know when to humbly accept an argument when it's obvious that you've lost that argument. So Nacho is now English trained? I guess he was at city when he won the U17 world cup. Or city came to his village in Owerri to scout him.

You are just behaving like a nonentity all over the thread (I'm not sorry to say it), no wonder people don't rate you on this thread, and everybody's always taking a piss at you at every opportunity.

You can't win every battle/argument, sometimes you just have to concede defeat. Making false claims during argument that you could have easily avoided is just making you look like a fool.

I'd rather we sell him to Sheffield with an a first choice buy-back clause like the one we have with Depay.
Or keep him there on loan. Whichever way, we must not loose him. Because finding a good goalkeeper out there is not easy

I never even knew that Sheffield United goalkeeper, Dean Henderson is a Man Utd loanee player. Chai , Future is bright for Man Utd in that department.

If Man Utd know what is good, they better look for a way to ease him into our first team at the end of the season, or loan him for one more season before bringing him. They must not sell him, and if they want to sell him, Woodward and his goons should include a cheap buy back clause.

It's quite obvious you have no idea what altitude does to your stamina.

If you haven't played at high altitude you can become fatigued within 25 minutes. You have game manage or you will simply run out of gas.

You also have not played at high altitude hence your comments.
Like I said before ,they are professionals, they will handle it. When the team does its homework well, it shouldn't be a problem.
The last time I checked, it's not their first time playing in such environment.

High altitude didn't stop us frim nearly flogging SA in their backyard , if not for the incompetence of the Linesman. Same with us flogging Lesotho.

Our players are professionals and they play in even more excruciating conditions overseas week in week out, in places with extreme cold, extreme heat and the likes and they know how to balance it.

liverpool owners don't know anything but got it right by hiring kloop and allowing him to make decisions when it comes to players recruitment.

kloop single handedly transformed liverpool and made the right choices when bringing in players.

he signed robertson from hull

salah from roma when no big team were willing to have him after flopping at chelsea.

brought in matip and firmino from germany on a cheaper price when compared to today's market

graduated and gave arnaut a chance in the first team

brought in mane for a decent price from southampton.

brought in ox from arsenal on a good price

the only player that cost him much was van dijk and currently they are reaping the fruits

liverpool and kloop got their recruitment right for the past 2 seasons which is the main reason the team is among the best in europe currently
Yea you are right. Liverpool owners started getting it right when they started leaving player recruitment decisions exclusively to the coach. It started with Brendan Rodgers, because the guy was allowed to buy any player he wants. Even though that one misused the privilege and brought in useless players, but at least it still acheived a positive result and got them very close to the league again

Tottenham's woes are not helping at all. However, you're right he has quite a challenge unseating those other guys but Dele is good too o and he has done well in England Colours.

The main point however I'm trying to pass is that Dele hasn't been "dumped". If he hits form he's automatically back in contention.
I agree with your second paragraph ofcourse.

England only deal with players in form. So if he gets better, he will get into the squad again.

Once Dele is on form he'll walk straight back into the team.
Are u sure.

Fighting his way back into the team should be the appropriate word. Because with the Emergence of Mount, Madison and return of Oxlade Chamberlain, I don't think he would be able to Walk straight back into the team like that. The funniest part is those two guys (Mount and Madison) are an upgrade on Ali, because they have the work rate that Ali lacks and are better creative midfielders, especially that Madison.

So Ali can't walk straight back into any where, because he's not competing with Lingard , he will have to fight his way back into the team.

Dele will have to work twice as hard to come back. To make matters worse, the abysmal form of his club currently is not helping matters
