You are just emphasizing my point.

Simple, let us not get too excited with the win because we were dominated. It is just a simple point.

Finito.
Nobody is excited but praising the boys for beating Argentina cus nobody gave them the chance to survive except two monikers here.

It is criminal that he didn't win the player of the year. Like Gucci Mane one of my favourite rappers used to say, they used "Polite racism" on him. Gave it to his teammate so if he says anything he seems selfish.

To be honest, Kvara deserves it too .maybe not as much as Osimhen,but he was immense for Napoli too... Just that his form sort of slipped down late into the season...

Honestly, we can't really blame them... Many people are now looking for routes to Japa and start better lives abroad.. And it appears that some parents now see how viable a career in football can be in this age, unlike before when you go chop correct beating for playing football
We can't honestly blame parents for subverting due process. Really?

Kvara was immense but so were Kim, Anguissa, Lobotka and Meret. Your supporting cast have to be good to do wat Napoli did. Osimhen is batman and Kvara is Robin.

Yes in Nigeria.My bro need to scout for real talented guys for his [b]Italy stuff [/b]but parents on hearing Italy tried to influence things.

My point,Nigeria academy would soon become NPFL type if care is not taken due to favoritismโ€ฆ.Imagine losing to Japan 6โ€“1 when we have real boys out there in Enugu,Lagos,Warri,Jos and many cities.

Parent's clubs, coaches and agent's will always pursue interests that suit them it's very normal.

I don't understand what you mean by Italy stuff.

The club networks associated with scouting players are vast and very wide spread across Europe. Within that isvajso corruption by various football โšฝ club gate keepers ( recruitment heads, scouts and agents) where there is a quest for the best deal not best players.

Putting all that to one side , players have to be of good quality otherwise your reputation as a scout agent etc will be in the dustbin.

Bring quality players and your reputation will precede you.

When it comes to players clubs will have a dossier of information on players from age 12 onwards sometimes even earlier. I was talking to Borussia Dortmund and AC Milan I was shocked at the amount of substantiated players performance data they had on players from age 12 detailed and comprehensive.

That's why they could buy a 16 year old Jude Billingham for ยฃ25 million pounds playing in the Championship. Well they got it right because they are selling him to the highest bidder for crazy money.

He is effectively the most in demand player in the world at the moment.

Unfortunately their best player KC according to you is also a forward player. He this season played 28 games and scored 5 goals, if that's a measurement of oustanding quality what then is average or poor or excellent โ“

Harvey Barns is not as good as KC according to you but played 34 games and scored 13 goals. He has now got several bids from Newcastle, Tottenham and Villa and counting but he is not so good as KC.

Maddison,Castagne, Tielemans, are generating all kinds of interest from premier league clubs but they are not the best player in Leicester City, according to you.

So how many clubs in the EPL are fighting for the clinical marksman and striker KC, ๐Ÿค”โ“

What's happened to the midfield maestro Nwakali the only long ball specialist in Nigeria football โšฝ.

Now that Ponferradina has been relegated to the obscurity of semi professional football. Will.nr leaving with his exceptional talent to Napoli or Dortmund โ“

It's quite remarkable that several players previously forgotten about by me as SE quality are now in the EPL.

Elijah and Fred Onyedinma, yes are now EPL players, there has been no mention of them just deathly silence. But we never stop talking about Nwakali the midfield maestro.

Although I have not felt Fred Onyedinma is SE Quality I've believed without any hesitation he is way better than Nwakali.

Now let's see his progression in the EPL.

What happened to Jamilu Collins he left Bundisliga to Championsip side Cardiff but became anonymous albeit injury did not help.

Yeah Osimhen should have clinched the MVP Award. All respect to Kvara he had a fantastic first half of the season but he fizzled out towards the end. Victor on the other hand was consistent throughout and was especially prominent in the last few months in the season to help Napoli seal the scudetto title. The fact that Kvara has not had a single goal contribution in the last 10 league matches except for causing one penalty against Fiorentina makes it that more obvious.

The same factors here sentiment and emotive preference.

It didn't help the popularity of Maddison when he was already alluding to leaving Leicester City in public.

Otherwise I don't know.

No I cannot.... Let's go back to the begining.
First I wrongly assumed that winning the player of the year award means you're the best in your club.....
You corrected me by pointing out it is just a measure of "popularity" not performance .... I agreed....
I asked again how someone as poor a player as Iheanacho got so popular with the fans and coaches, you said it was "emotive preference and prejudice "...... I agreed.
Now the question is ... How can we logically explain Iheanacho winning a sentimental and prejudiced contest at Leicester city with a super legend like Jamie Vardy still actively playing?

You've been my teacher since the begining... Don't push me away at this juncture.

Very simple Vardy had been the club favourite for a decade now he is 37 and expired, they need a new talisman, and unfortunately they don't have many.

If I am to use a Machiavellian approach, "When the desirable is not available the available becomes desirable"

Statistically Harvey wide player has 13 goals, Maddison has 10. But the fans chose KC who has 5 and Daka who has 4 all in the EPL.

Some view Maddison as a traitor for expressing a desire to leave.

Otherwise I really don't know .

Fans are a funny lot one day they love you another they hate you, very fickle.
