Lol cendiz under is an unknown player right ?

Only tielemans got better name than cendiz under, tielemans was lost in monaco, thanks to leicester city

Stefano denswill plays for bologna, i gave you better clubs than bologna bro

No club is still better than as roma in that list.

Give me a bigger club move

I did not say belgium is not better than turkey in football oga, why are you changing the arguement?

My point is that players have moved to good leagues from turkey for the pass 2 seasons

Please dont bring the belgium and turkish national team here, i didnt speak of that ok

And once again give me a player who has moved to better teams like Roma, napoli in the past 2 seasons not relegation teams like brighton and aston vila, bologna, lol

The ORIGINAL argument is not who plays for better club but which of the league(Super lig or Jupiler)has more attention from Europe top 5. The calibre of and historical background of the clubs from these top 5 is largely inconsequential.

*Open your eyes and see Everton, Monaco and Leverkusen*

Tielemans wasnt trash in Monaco, the whole team just lose balance. Besides, performance of players in question is secondary so it shouldn't bother you.

Belgium has more attention and chance of going to top 5 is fatter than that of your beloved Turkey. Even in our current SE, we have 4:1 .....

Dani Alves – Why We Failed To Beat Nigeria
October 15, 2019

Experienced Brazil defender Dani Alves has lifted the lid on why his team failed to beat the Super Eagles of Nigeria in Sunday friendly in Singapore, Owngoalnigeria.com reports.

Alves while speaking on the 1-1 draw praised the organization of the Nigerian team saying they made it hard for Brazil in the final third with their organization and their willingness to counter when the chance to do comes up.

” Nigeria have never been easy to play against because of how they are organized and that played a role in the draw. At the back they had numbers and we had to resort to lifting high ball which they also responded to”, Alves said.
The former Barcelona defender said it was difficult for the defender to join the team in attack despite loads of possession because Nigeria have pacy players who can catch you out with counter attack like what led to the first goal scored by Nigeria.

” They used a break to score the first goal in the first half, so we have to reorganize our strategy going forward because of the way they play on the counter. I couldn’t join the attack because I had a man on me and also have to keep my eyes on him"

The argument is not who goes to better club stop changing mouth.

Did you just say that we don't have Nigerians in Turkey? We have thousands of them is all those kaspaspor, hispaspor,tarapasor, etc.

You could not even name up to 5 foreigners that got transferred from that league.

Belgium has more exports FULLSTOP.

Erdal Torunogullari, who is Besiktas presidential candidate's close ally, has promised to sign Leicester City's Kelechi Iheanacho if Ahmet Nur Cebi is elected.

According to Fotospor, Iheanacho has been sounded out about joining the Istanbul club following talks between Torunogullari and the striker's representative.

It is claimed that the Nigeria international could be joining Besiktas on an initial 18-month loan deal if negotiations are successful.

His first team opportunities have been limited under managers Craig Shakespeare, Claude Puel and Brendan Rodgers, with only 16 starts in the Premier League from a possible 84 since his transfer from Manchester City in August 2017.

Iheanacho is struggling to gain playing time due to the presence of Jamie Vardy and Ayoze Perez, and a move away from the King Power Stadium when the transfer window reopens would be the sensible thing to do.

The 23-year-old's only appearance for the Foxes this season came against Luton Town in the third round of the League Cup.

Not too long ago, l said KC will struggle to get a good Championship side.

There was hell fire and brimstone sent my way and the usual tag HATER.

The top strikers from the Championship are among the top strikers in the EPL, currently that should tell you about the quality.

I was being generous by saying he should go to the Bundesliga. l knew that Leicester will have to take a big loss in terms of transfer fees. Nobody will pay £25 million for him now even half will be struggle.

But to go to Turkey hmmmmm get as he be.

A month ago after a few goals in pre season we were greeted with KC is BACK, what will delusional ones say now.

Rohr fine-tunes Eagles list for Benin, Lesotho qualifiers


By Adeyinka Adedipe on October 17, 2019
Coach Gernot Rohr has said that the squads that played the friendly games against Ukraine and Brazil will be considered for next month’s African Cup of Nations qualifiers against Benin Republic and Lesotho.

Eagles have been likened to Brazil with their of play

Speaking with Sportinglife.ng, Rohr hinted about the likelihood of recalling some of most trusted lieutenants for the upcoming international fixtures, stating also that some players that have returned from injury would also be called up for the game.

“Now what would happen with all these injured players back? “If Musa can come back, if Ola Aina can come back and if Etebo too can come back, so we would see what can happen with the top players for these impactful games,” Rohr added.

Rohr also assured that the Eagles would be ready for both games scheduled for the Sam Ogbemudia Stadium. However, the coach is hoping that playing surface of the stadium will be good for his players.

The German tactician said: “I hope we have a good a pitch against the Benin Republic, I don’t know this pitch but I hope after the elimination of the Super Falcons, the Eagles will fly next month in Benin Republic.”

While ruing the absence of Francis Uzoho, who will be out for six months after getting injured in the game against Brazil, said the team would be strong when other injured players return to the team..

The Nigerian team was impressive against the Brazilians on Sunday and Rohr hopes that the Eagles can repeat the heroic feat against the Beninese next month. “We had a good game against Brazil despite missing some players.

“Hopefully, the players can replicate the performance against Brazil and start the AFCON qualifiers on a winning note,” the coach added.

cenk tosun from beiktas to everton, it should be about 2 seasons now, you should know how much everton paid for him and he is not even that young

Okay Yokuslu from trabzonspor to celta vigo
zeki celik from turkish division 2 to lille
sinan gumus from gala to genoa
Elif Elmas from fenerbahce to napoli

They are still more to mention but let me end here as this list is just within 2 seasons, you are saying players dont move from the turkish league to others league then you have no idea of what you are saying

If nacho impress in besiktas he will move to a bigger league but likely a smaller club than besiktas

Don't mind them, the only reason it seems players don't move is because Turkey is tax friendly so players don't really like to move to another country where tax will finish their money, it's not like they don't get offers but they look at the financial side of the deal first
