Guy in dark shades is Khalilou Fadiga that played for Senegal (I think he failed a medical for Inter). First guy is Gelson Fernandes that played for Switzerland.

Fadiga. Part of that Senegalese team that defeated world champions France in the opening match of Korea/Japan 2002?

No wonder he was getting cooked by adingra

Yes

i won’t forget the rumors we heard during 2002 that fadiga went to steal a jewelry at a store in South Korea ,don’t know how true then ,but the news was all over the street of naija and complete sport then

raumdeuter:


By 2020 Robben and Ribery already left. Martinez and Lewandowski joined around the same time Thiago did yet they all got armbands but no one send Thiago they knew he was an indomie spineless player which was why he couldnt get a Spanish starting shirt at any major tournament

I'm still waiting for you to explain how Thiago made the Team of the Season in 16/17, 18/19.
If as you say he was mediocre all through his Bayern years.

Below is a excerpt from a 2016 article;

Really? I didn’t hear that rumor. But I trust egbon adugbos to spread stuff like that.

Women basketball 🏀 is sweet sha.

I really enjoyed the USA 🇺🇸 vs Belgium 🇧🇪 match.

It wasn’t a rumor. Police actually called him in for questioning. He said it was a practical joke and charges were dropped of course.

It was in nobody’s interest to prolong the issue.

So Peseiro couldn't just play Osayi there or what?

You Dey mind am

Capaldi:

The only thing Kimmich has been consistent in is dropping disaterclass for Germany and Bayern since 2020. It's a good thing Nagelsmann has confirmed he is returning him back to right back which is the only position he is decent in.

Kimmich dropping disasterclass since 2020? I will assume that's just hyperbole on your part. Kimmich's QF-first-leg showing vs PSG in 2021 remains the most dominant playmaking performance by a midfielder in any CL knockout game in the last 5 seasons. I dare you to mention a better one. The same Kimmich was one of the very few bright spots for Germany at the last World Cup, alongside Musiala but let's put all the blame on him while players like Gundogan and Muller stunk up the joint and the team crashed out in the group stages.

Kimmich going back to RB is no news. Joachim Low played him as a wingback at the last Euros even when he was balling in midfield. Kroos' return means Nagelsmann can now afford some much-needed quality at the RB position. That said, i expect to see him invert in midfield and help Kroos out.

A40 already listed the stinkers in high profile games where Thiago played.

No Bayern fan will forget how Thiago escorted Saul Nigues for 40yards to score a goal against us

No wonder Spain disown am. Bend waist send 2yatd idea balls

Bassey my niggi.

Erickson is finished. Man came on and these Fulham boys turned prime Xavi.

I don't have street rival oshi.

Well done Fulham fc 👏.

Griffon:
Bassey my niggi.

Iwobi capped it all

So happy for iwobi, he deserves this happiness.

BlueMann:
So happy for iwobi, he deserves this happiness.

King like iwobi. He's hereby discharged and acquitted.

kendrick9:
Lol. So you're blaming Thiago for those losses.
Look at those teams you posted.

You had a geriatric Alonso and Thiago in a two man midfield. Vidal the only energetic one in an attacking role, then the over the hill Robbery up against a formidable Real Madrid who had prime BBC.

Who else do we blame? Now you're doing spinaroonie. You want to give him glory for the wins and exempt him from blame for the losses. Sorry frero but that's not how it works

Thiago was not a difference maker in any of the matches. You can't even point to any important contributions. A goal, an assist, a clear chance created. Just stealing oxygen and doing cardio

[quote author=kendrick9 post=128619546]

The other lineup you had Alonso, Bastian, Lahm and Thiago up against MSN Barca.
Alonso, Bastian, Lahm were slow at that point and were close to retirement.

These are who you have against a a vibrant MSN, BBC sides and you expect a miracle
And you have the galls to blame Thiago

You're not sleek. I thought you claimed Kimmich and co were doing nothing till Thiago showed up to save the day. Why are you now changing story? Bottomline is Thiago failed woefully with midfield veterans, he was supposed to be a difference maker with his youth but did absolutely nothing

kendrick9:

And I remember Thiago was one of the few bright spots in those games.
You're not the only one who watched those CL games, I did too.

Patently false. He was not a difference maker in any of the losses.

Did absolutely nothing

kendrick9:

You have to blame your squad planning, it was bad at that point.

To maximize the best of Thiago, you need an energetic player beside him. You can see when
Goretza came and that partnership won a convincingly.

Hansi Flick recognized that which is why he won a lot and even tried convincing Thiago to stay.
After he left everything went to sh!t and he was sacked the following season

Every player, even the best needs the right pieces around to get the best out of them.

Long and short of your epistle is Thiago was a nonentity till Kimmich and Goretzka came to bail him out. Btw Flick was not sacked. Can you get your facts right for once?

Meanwhile Thiago at Liverpool has been one of their Biggest flops, bigger than Naby Keita. Will leave Liverpool as a running joke we will remember for years to come.

All his meaningless tricks and flicks we were helping him hide for Bundesliga, check our threads we know him well and talked at length about it all got exposed under EPL microscope now he will be forever known as Mr Idea Ball

Thiago the flop

wait gareth bale was a flop at the premier league .. like the same Tottenham's Gareth bale

Silentgroper:
wait gareth bale was a flop at the premier league .. like the same Tottenham's Gareth bale

when he came back in 2021 to Spurs

omari Hutchinson another league goal ,but because no be south American no hype

raumdeuter:


when he came back in 2021 to Spurs

man was 32 at that time .. how much of him do they think would be utilized at that period ... It's not right to have him labeled a flop . It's just not right ...

Same with Thiago.. Thiago was between 30-31 when he came to the premier League ... They shouldn't even expect much from players around this age group.. To think thiago was even injury prone , no ... No one has the right to call him a flop.. The fact is thiago was never and is not a fraud...

Someone being injury prone and missing out on games shouldn't be labeled flop .. it doesnt make sense..

Arsenal go kill this ones

Ibime, hope you are watching Jorgiboy controlling the tempo of the game and distributing timely passes in a 433 aggressive highline.
