By the way, the on going going Common wealth games have once again proved that Nigeria should no longer be classified as a serious sports nation. Things have gotten so bad in the sports industry that the likes of South Africa who started showing interest in sprints recently, an event which used to be our stronghold can boast of gold and silver in men's 100 meters, I mean even Botswana have athletes dominating 200 meters. While we have zero. How low can we go? Just 2 silver medals for a country of over 100 million youths is simply not good enough. The President should as a matter of urgency declare a state of emergency in sports. A clear road map on sports development must be drawn before we sign up for future sports meets like the common wealth and Olympics. 1 Like |

edi287: You are deviating, you said Ramsey was not so good in dictating play that arsenal acquired xhaka because of that, Xhaka can also dictate but not better than Ramsey.Xhaka gives arsenal more physicality in the midfield which is what arsenal lacked while doing a dictating job. Ramsey is better than Xhaka going forward in all capacity, please dont make us derail this thread

edi287: Because the award is known as 'FIFA' Ballon d or. ok, let me agree that his performance in the Copa Award made him the 6th best in the world but it still did not dispute the fact that he was adjourned the best striker in the world before he went to Liverpool, and that he did not become a world class player under Brender Rodgers.

bengine: These guys are too young to be compared okay they are just starting their football career,forget about the u23,we all know how age grade competition are,even at the u20 World Cup iheanacho was not a starter does that mean the striker there is better than him? You guys are just going too far,comparing 2 young players who is just starting their career by saying this is better than the other,I am on no side,I hate sentiment,just because you like one player and you are calling for him to be invited does not mean he his better than the other one,comparing 2 kids who are yet to play 50 games in their career and taking side of your favoured one Did I tell you siasia took bribe?

I totally understand what you mean by a certain partnership not working. And you can throw in "Ndidi/Onazi" into the mix as well. However, we shouldn't jump into that conclusions based in two games where the team essentially played a weakened side - that is, the South Africa and Serbia games. You gotta agree that he played well in the friendly against Argentina. O pari Martz101: |

Martz101:No I am not deviating. Can you bring proof of Ramsey playing as a regista?? What physicality has Xhaka brought that we didn't have with Coquelin?? RAMSEY CAN NOT DICTATE PLAY. He is a b2b midfielder that is known for his late runs into the box and stamina. He can not dictate play. I didn't say Ramsey wasn't creative. Comparing Ramsey and Xhaka is like comparing Vidal and Kroos. Kroos is a Regista. Vidal is not. Wenger on why he signed Xhaka over Kante : "[/b]When we play at home especially, and you are dominating the games, it’s important to have someone who can pass from deep areas through the lines[b]. ‘We looked for someone who could do that and I felt he had those specific qualities to do that" Again when he was asked the same question: “They are different types of players,” “[/b]I think Xhaka is more in the distribution of the pass through the lines[b] and Kante is more the ball winner with the real technique to steal the ball without making the foul. “[/b]You can compare more Kante with Francis Coquelin more than with Xhaka. Xhaka is more a distribution player.”[b] |

forgiveness:IT WAS BECAUSE OF THE COPA AMERICA OOO. As of 2011, Van Persie, Aguero, Lewandowski, heck even Cavani were more rated than Suarez. Higuain and Benzema too. What was his position on the Ballon d'or 2012 and 2013?? How many goals did he score the next season for liverpool?? 11. He scored 23 and 31 under Rodgers. |

Martz101:I said "dictating play from deep". Xhaka dictates play from deep. Ozil in the final third. Ramsey is a b2b midfielder who is known for making late runs into the box. He doesn't and isn't good at dictating play. That's what I've been saying since. Maybe I should put it this way - Ramsey can't control the tempo of a game from deep. The definition of a Regista : Regista in Italian means ‘director.’ It actually means [b][/b]the one who directs, who dictates the offensive play of the team. A regista is not the one who would run around the pitch vying for the ball, but it’s someone who would start his move by lying deep in his own half just in front of the centre-backs and finding his teammates [b][/b]with balls that would be difficult to spot even on a TV screen. Such is the elegance of the regista. |
