I do not like players bulking up. I think it makes them lose their speed.

I believe he would have been faster if he did not bulk up. The muscles becomes extra weight to move.

A mini FC porto (Wolves) took the championship on cruise run

I remember reading somewhere that coaches of other clubs were so frightened and worried that they wanted to file a complain about the quality of players in wolves.....

Fulham better than FC Porto keh

Fulham won't even defeat Braga luck aside


You read wrongly, the complaint and investigation centred on super agent Mended running the club by proxy.

They then bought the creme de la crème of the Portuguese league including their national team, Diogo Jota, Raul Jiminez (£38 million transfer fee) to name just few. It was not a mini Porto more like a quasi Portuguese national team.

The rest is history now but historical FACTS don't change.

Premier League outfit Wolverhampton Wanderers recently completed the signing of Nelson Semedo from Barcelona. The 26-year-old left back's arrival at the Molineux Stadium makes him the 11th Portuguese footballer in Nuno Santo's side. In fact, Santo could form an exclusive XI of the Euro 2016 champions, hinting at the manager's preference for Portuguese football players

Diogo Joto did not have a single Portuguese senior cap before joining Wolverhampton on loan from Atletico Madrid and Raul Jimenez is a Mexican.

Mancity
Chelsea
Man U
Liverpool

These are the 4 epl teams that are better than Porto

Arsenal
Spurs
West ham
Leicester

These 4 teams can be called Porto standard and can loose or win against Porto .

Look at Luis Diaz already doing well at Liverpool from Porto ,someone like komekn doesn’t know him before he joined Liverpool and he would have easily tell you the guy won’t start at a useless club like Fulham

Diaz has been on the radar of several top clubs not just Liverpool.

How many players have left Fulham to top clubs .

The core topic was comparison of Fulham with Porto, why don't you compare them man to man, player to player attributes and outcome delivery.

A 16 year old boy that couldn't get game time at Fulham was sold to Liverpool he is now playing in the Liverpool first team.

I am talking of Harvey Elliott, I am sure someone that you have never even heard you would say he will NEVER get into the Porto team from the lowly championship.

So be objective and substansive not sentiment and emotive based ASSUMPTIVE.

No one is denying the fact that Mitrovic isn't a top player, even Solanke has been one of the best strikers in the Championship.

Mitrovich is way ahead of all the strikers in the Championship. It's really astounding he is on 35 goals it's an all time league record and the season has not finished he may likely get to 40+ goals for the season.

Look at all the Championship top striker's from last season in the EPL all doing well and they are not as good as him.

His last stint in the EPL was poor in my opinion for a player of his quality, l know he had some injuries but it doesn't explain things

Oga Elliot was sold to Liverpool at the age of 16 ,he played 2 games for Fulham at the age of 15 ,I guess you where expecting him to be regular then

He was sold to Liverpool to play for their second team and not the first team ,but was loaned out to play for Blackburn rovers last season and he impressed at the championship before klopp decide to give him a chance at Liverpool

Man to man all Porto players are better than Fulham players

All these players you are mentioning didn’t play at the championship with wolves and are not championship players ,the joined when wolves where at the epl

The top player wolves convinced from Porto was Ruben neves with a crazy salary and some other average Portuguese who make the championship look so easy

Could this be why Ghana cannot release their list. Players rejecting call-ups. By the way, refusing to release list is illegal, isn't it?

Hian. So if they field poor players then our chances reduce?

I'm not afraid of losing because this is a two legged game. Any mistake will be corrected in the next game. Besides we're playing at home.

Yesterday Taiwo Awoniyi who is BY FAR our best player in Europe top 5 league scored his 11th league goal of the season.

Only one moniker acknowledged this goal on this thread yesterday.

Imagine if it was their flop in Napoli, we would've have seen at least 40 monikers singing the praises of this naples flop, some go even comment with their alternative monikers.

Emmanuel Dennis has been exceptional this season, he has a hand in 52% of goals Watford scored this season, that's amazing.

And also we can't ignore the fact that man came to the epl after bad ordeal with club brugge and Cologne.

But I would rate Taiwo Awoniyi above him.

Ghernot Rhor still remains the best coach we have ever had for a long time. Eguavoen is a coach of permutations and probability. He is repeating the mistakes of previous Nigerian coaches that got them sacked.

Hmm In a decade? So what of Stephen keshi not to talk of clement westahof

I mean to say for a long time. However there are some attributes I see in him that makes me rank him higher than some of the coaches you mentioned. For example he knows how best to manage our players than keshi who is very poor in player management.

Awoniyi actually assisted the only goal they scored against Frankfurt on match day 13.

He also produced two assist in UECL qualifiers and 1 in Dfb-pokal.

Taiwo is better.
