this was my 2013 u-17 favourite player
but his career has not progress well

Mujtahida:

He didn't pass the two test namely to play in the top ten leagues in the world and top ten team in the best league or outside. Belgium is ranked number 12 by the bleacherreport.com (fails test one) http://bleacherreport.com/articles/2691880-ranking-the-most-entertaining-leagues-in-world-football

Ajagun plays for KV Kortrijik ranked number 14 out of 16 teams in the Belgian Jupiler.(fails test two) See attached screenshot of teams in the Belgian top flight

So you see! Even by your own test, your own criteria, your own standard, Ajagun and I am sure so many other players you clamour for fail.

While I like your test I know it is not the ultimate criteria.

How many players from Costa Rica were playing in a top league in the 2014 World cup??

Yet, they went to quarters and were only knocked out by penalties.

tbaba1234:


Oga, these are not top clubs.. How many made it to the group stages? How many qualified from the group phase? Even Levante and Mainz are not big clubs, they are just average clubs in top leagues

Goalkeepers: Keylor Navas (Levante), Patrick Pemberton (Alajuelense) Daniel Cambronero (Herediano).

Defenders: Johnny Acosta (Alajuelense), Giancarlo Gonzalez (Columbus Crew), Michael Umana (Saprissa), Oscar Duarte (Bruges), Waylon Francis (Columbus Crew), Heiner Mora (Saprissa), Junior Diaz (Mainz 05), Christian Gamboa (Rosenborg), Roy Miller (New York Red Bulls).

Midfielders: Celso Borges (AIK), Christian Bolanos (Copenhagen), Esteban Granados (Herediano), Michael Barrantes (Aalesund), Yeltsin Tejeda (Saprissa), Diego Calvo (Valerenga), Jose Miguel Cubero (Herediano).

Forwards: Bryan Ruiz (PSV Eindhoven, on loan from Fulham), Joel Campbell (Olympiakos, on loan from Arsenal), Randall Brenes (Cartagines), Marco Urena (FC Kuban Krasnodar).

This is the team. Have you ever heard of Cartagines or Herediano? Imagine Nigeria inviting a player from Valarenga or AIK?

The above team is not one that should be in the quarter finals but they did it.

probably the Reason for the random news all over the English press reporting....Tammy ditch Nigeria for England...


Southgate To Tammy Abraham – Forget Nigeria, Assures Him Of England Chance


Coach of the senior national team of England Gareth Southgate has successfully convinced Tammy Abraham to banish the idea of representing Nigeria..
The online edition of British media outfit Times monitored by Owngoalnigeria.com Michael James has it that the coach had a meeting with 20 year old shortly after watching him in action for Swansea City in their 1-2 loss to Arsenal at the Emirates.
According to Times, Southgate assured the 20 year old that he could gatecrash his World Cup squad for England, even if he doesn’t make the next squad of England which will be released on Thursday.
Although there are other strikers ahead of Abraham in the pecking order of forwards available to coach Southgate, he however assured Abraham that one or two striking slots are up for grabs.
Daniel Sturridge and Danny Welbeck’s poor injury record as well as Jermain Defoe who is close to 36 years old could play in his favour when Southgate releases his squad for the World Cup.

The assurances made the forward who 13 caps for England at Under-21 level and four Premier League goals from nine starts to shelve plans of switching allegiance to Nigeria despite holding talks with the President of the Nigeria Football Federation ( NFF) Amaju Pinnick.

Ok please show us the first eleven. Haba these guys are just bench warmers, the main guys are the ones that came from top teams, they played. Mainz was in the Europa league in 2013/2014, Navas was one of the best GK's in the league that year. Olympiakos made it out of their group that year.

see finishing
LOL

Mujtahida:

No finishing whatsoever. We are here to discuss and learn not finish each other.

Mujtahida:

I knew you were going to pick on that point even before I read this and you have confirmed my thoughts. I have since edited it to reflect your two test. No copy out. We are not here to win arguments, so no cheap tricks. So here it is again. Answer it.
I have quoted your test word for word.

He didn't pass the two test namely 1. playing in the top 10 best leagues in the world
2. playing for the best clubs either in the top 10 or outside.

As per test number 1 - Belgium is ranked number 12 by the bleacherreport.com (fails test one) http://bleacherreport.com/articles/2691880-ranking-the-most-entertaining-leagues-in-world-football

As per test number 2 - Ajagun plays for KV Kortrijik ranked number 14 out of 16 teams in the Belgian Jupiler.(fails test two) See attached screenshot of teams in the Belgian top flight

So you see! Even by your own test, your own criteria, your own standard, Ajagun and I am sure so many other players you clamour for fail.

forgiveness:


First of all, I stated earlier that two things are involved in scouting players which I listed as

1. From the top ten best clubs in the world. I latter corrected it to Europe because I well informed about the best clubs in the world. It was an error on my part.

2. Even if you are not in the top ten leagues in the world, you must at least play for one the best clubs in other leagues.

As you can see, my stance remains though with more emphases.

If you don't fall into these two categories then I am sorry.

Going by these, I think Chidiebere Nwakali falls very short of these requirements.

Now, looking at the headline of your source, it didn't reflect the best leagues in the world neither is it in consonant with the top ten best clubs in Europe.

It is abstractly off the tangent which points to ten most entertaining clubs in the world.

In a nutshell, Belgium is currently in the top ten best clubs in the world.

If Ajagun goes to Malta today, forgiveness will find a reason why he should be invited.

Mujtahida:

I am not talking of Chidiebere because it is obvious that Norway is not top league. I wrote that post to challenge your assertion that Ajagun passed your test meanwhile he didn't pass any. Belgium is not in the top ten best league in the world(test 1) and Ajagun's club KV Kortrijik is number 14 out of 16 teams in the Belgian Jupiler(failed test two)
So why do you keep calling for Ajagun and Azeez when you oppose chidiebere with so much vehemence?

chrisooblog:
you didn't see the ball that he saved on the goal line when the cameroonian striker almost killed him or all those shots he saved from distance against cameroon and zambia? ok o

Joebie:
that player that worked that goal sha o..
Musa Yahaya is a SURE bet for Qatar.. He will have an illustrious SE career. Very talented kid, following VicMos path.

forgiveness:


That you source is not about the best leagues in the world. Is it?

On that your list Qatar and Saudi Arabia are on the list.

We are not talking about entertainment. Abeg.

Scotland is ranked 26th.
Does that mean playing in a relegation threaten team in Belgium Is better than playing for the Scottish champions? Does that also mean the player playing for the Scottish champions shouldn't be invited?

Mujtahida:

That link was dropped here by komekn. And entertainment is just one out of several factors used. If CAF compiles a list of best countries in the world Nigeria will be in the first five but if a wider scope is considered we will not be top five. Indeed we are 41 in the world. So Belgium can be top ten within UEFA but it's not top ten in the world best leagues.

I forgot about Salah sef. Top 3 will be Salah, Keita and Aubamayeng/Mane. Vic Moses won't make the final 3...I'll be surprised if he did
