exactly the season Dortmund dominated the league, they extended it to Europe which means if you are strong enough to dominate Bayern Munich then other
European teams shouldn't be a big deal

No, but you think the championship and League One are among the best leagues in the world

With regards to youth football access has nothing to do with nationality.

Most of the boys making waves in English football started in some of these academies at the age of 6/7.
Thier nationality was totally irrelevant what was pertinent is that at the initial stage they were within the local catchment area of the club and thier quality.

My reference point is youth academy football.

Late entrants to the academy system can be hampered not by race but by nationality.. As regulations concerning work permits will restrict thier acces to professional football in the UK.

The overriding issue will be quality. For Nwakali and Osimhen to be given straight access to these clubs. They must be recognised and established as exceptional talent above and over what is available in the UK.

The reality is that Osimhen and Nwakali are not exceptional world class talent. Now compare them to Gabriel Jesus who is in the same age group has light up the EPL and ripped up the script. within weeks.

That's not to say Nwakali and Osimhen are not very good players. But having played in the Eredivisie Nwakali has not set it on fire and neither has Osimhen. Until they do that access to opportunity in the EPL may be problematic.

Don't forget that KC came off the back of his performances in the U17 world cup as exceptional outstanding talent. Indeed for a time proved for the whole world to see his excellent quality That's why Leicester paid near £30 million for him.

So I reiterate that the issue is outstanding quality not nationality. To say that Nwakali is better than the top boys in Arsenal is to be biased the thing you have accused me of. Arsenal will only consider him as a possible future first team player just as Iwobi is.

Now consider where Iwobi was at at Nwakali age and you see there is much work for Nwakali to do.

Speaking of making history, will likely be the “most experienced” player at the 2018 World Cup. He was Italy’s 2nd choice keeper at the 1998 World Cup. And he has played for the senior national team for 20 years now

Recycled news. Nothing different from the first one you posted.

When Dominic Solanke joined Liverpool this summer and began to overtake Divock Origi as third-choice striker, it was clear that Origi would have to go out on loan to get game time. And, in fact, in the last hours of the transfer window, Liverpool secured a season-long loan to Wolfsburg for the player

Just imagine statement. So because Maribor is playing Europa League with Arsenal, they are in the same level.

Your understanding of football frightens me.

TheGoodJoe:


Another recycled news. As I said, with or without the arrival of Solanke, Origi would have gone on loan. Solanke's position down the pecking order of selection proves this.

That's being presumptuous to a fault.

You have become a mind reader too.

Chai Acho has become so poor that his diehard fans are now pondering over sending him to China (of all places) for more football education.

Dude should seek a loan outta Leicester, else...

Despite scoring 72 goals in 187 appearances for City, the Bosnian forward has been told he can leave the Etihad Stadium after falling out of favour under Pellegrini, who is ready to operate with Raheem Sterling and Nigerian teenager Kelechi Iheanacho as cover for Sergio Aguero and Wilfried Bony this season.

Mickael2:



I don't complain too much about it because we share the same ideology. You can start a debate about the NPFL, I will keep quiet because I don't know too much about it, but when it comes to La Liga/Segunda and even Segunda2 I will jump in and defend their quality. I guess that's the same ideology you employ, you only talk about what you know

PDPGuy:
Could Osimhen and Tammy Abraham be the Super Eagles front two at the world cup?

They both stand at 6'1'' and 6'4'' respectively, which could be useful during aerial duels with opposing center-halves; and Osimhen is quite pacy too, as evidenced at the last U-17 tournament.

Or should Rohr stick to fielding just one striker?

So,this one you presented is not recycled article because it was sanctioned by angel Gabriel, ba?

Explain how it is recycled.

Liverpool consider letting Divock Origi leave before dead line day

Jurgen Klopp would ideally like yo keep Divock Origi at Anfield but is also keen to be fair to the Belgium striker and his World Cup hopes

25 August 2017 • 10:30pm

Divock Origi may be allowed to leave Liverpool before Thursday’s transfer deadline after slipping down Jürgen Klopp’s Anfield pecking order.

The Belgium striker is yet to start a game this season and has made only one substitute appearance, in the 3-3 draw with Watford.

Origi was not even on the bench for Liverpool’s Champions League qualifier victory over Hoffenheim this week because Klopp preferred Daniel Sturridge and youngster Dominic Solanke as his substitute strikers

TheGoodJoe:


I will not lie to you. I pondered whether it was the wrong choice Iheanacho not opting for a move to China with Pellegrini. Back then, I did not entertain the idea but today, I feel that was the best decision.

Iheanacho would have made money and continued working with a manager who truly believed in him.

Another person like that is the current Southampton coach, Pellegrino. He followed Benitez like MTN. Everywhere he went.

TheGoodJoe:


Iheanacho is not poor and the consideration has to do with Iheanacho working under a top manager. It I not easy for a top manager to have faith in a young player.

Pellegrini's track record of working with the likes of Sorin, Riquelme, Guiseppe Rossi, Diego Forlan, Santiago Carzola, Isco, Roque Santa Cruz and a host of others makes him a good candidate to finalize Nacho's development.

There are few coaches with such history you can trust. It is not about poor but continous development.

I am also thinking MLS, NYFC. So Nacho can work with Patrick Vieira who started a good job with Iheanacho at City where he tried Moulding Iheanacho to play like Henry. Vieira has done a fantastic job with Jack Harrison with the young man playing along side Lampard, Pirlo and David Villa.

The formative years is not for glory but development.

TheGoodJoe:



[quote author=TheGoodJoe post=41588483]

This is Nacho's first year as a professional footballer. I believe Nacho getting games with Man City makes him a more rated player than Solanke.

I do not rate regular time over working with the top players and coaches. Nacho also gets to play with these players. The time for game time will come. For now, he is to learn.

junnyjake:



For what?? You're kidding right?? At this age?

Pelligrini won't be the only manager to believe in his talent, his problems started when he opted for the British passport.

Answer the questions below then.

TheGoodJoe:


Liverpool and Manchester City are two different categories. Nacho being on the bench at City is far more than Solanke being a bencher at Liverpool.

TheGoodJoe:


Do not get too excited because Klopp said he did not know Solanke. Let us see his verdict before spreading gist like pursuing Origi.
