OGA U DON CUM AGAIN OOO. We have defenders playing for porto, hoffenham, rangers, westbrom, twente, watford. So none of them will make a team that is third from buttom in the epl. CLAP FOR YOUR SELF.

Currently Tosin Adarabioyo has improved immensely and I do not see anybody displacing him Balogun, Ekong, Omeruo, Awaziem, Ajayi in the CB position as it stands in the HERE and NOW.

Add to the fact he is much younger than all of them.

Fulham maybe third from bottom but they play a particular style of football that only technically proficient players can thrive in.

I have been immensely AMAZED at Anguissa he has been outstanding for Fulham if he could add scoring to his game he would be top class. The ball seems like it is glued to his foot. And his technical skills are sublime but he also has strength to add to it. Tega Onomah is going to find it near impossible to displace him he will have to UP his game to another Level , Anguissa is currently better.

Only time will tell.

Liepzig is a very ambitious and they will need a proven tested and in form striker, I would not use those attributes to describe KC.

I prefer Ebuehi too but if Aina improves his defensive side, his offensive side trumps Ebuehi
Yes, as it stands.

Anyways both players still have time to improve on the different aspects of their game.

How do you know he reads the game ?

Maybe one of super eagles friendlies or the World Cup grin

Aina is the better Player but I have no problem seeing ebuehi there instead of akpoguma grin

I will trust Ebuehi with that position as things stands in the now.
Aina might be versatile, but Ebuehi does a better job.

agree with you 100%. Ebuehi looks more comfortable in defense and goes forward as well. Aina flourishes more in an attacking set up but I think struggles when he's under the cush. that said Ola is improving in that aspect game by game the EPL is sharpening him up
Alright.

I totally disagree with you, how can compare Tosin with those guys. Tosin in the HERE and NOW is the best defender in the EPL. We should be comparing him with Stones, Dias, Mings, Fofana etc. The only defender better than Tosin is Dominic Iorfa.

I disagree.

If Sanusi was so outstanding he would not be playing in the Portuguese league. He has been in the Portuguese league for near 5 seasons. That's enough to generate interest from other top teams and leagues.

It's possible he is still developing and there is more to come. I have watched him a few times he is fast and athletic. But for me he is technically weak, does not have composure on the ball and has a limited passing range for a good technical team like Fulham.

The current left back Antonee Robinson (Jedi) was the subject of £10 million bid by AC Milan when he was at Wigan in League one, but failed the medical.

I don't think he can displace him or even Tete the Dutch international.

Aina is far more technical than him so considering all the different options in Fulham who is he going to displace.

Have you watched how well Fulham play with the ball on the deck❓

I have watched every Fulham game this season, I wouldn't necessarily say Robinson is exceptional at those attributes you listed. I know he is energetic and athletic but you can't say he is exceptional. I believe Sanusi would bench him... Let him start playing national team football b4 we put on the same pedestal with Sanusi..

Sanusi has spent just four years in Portugal (we still in January)

he has steadily risen from Miradela to Santa Clara and he is presently one of the best players at FC PORTO



there might be a million universe but there is none whereby Fulham is a better team than Porto

If your ola aina was so good as u make it seem why did his career path have to go through a downward spiral from Chelsea. Why did he need to leave to Torino if he was really good he should have found a middle team in the epl. And why should his Torino stint be only good enough to bring him back to a relegation team in England.

These things you have predicted about sanusi's long stay holds no value. He played for a relegation team and now he is playing for the best team in Portugal. He came from Africa to make a mark for himself. He didn't have the privilege of growing or horning his skills in the feeders team of one of the worlds best feeder team like Chelsea, unlike aina. So the five years he took to get to that height , commensurate with the time of right exposure in European soccer. He could retire in porto which is good for him and he could move to a more competitive league which is equally nice

It's almost bewildering, Lookman has literally been Fulham best players from day one, he is consistent in his perfomances and playing from the Wing he is the main threat.

His work rate is also phenomenal.

So it just doesn't make sense he could not get game time in the Bundesliga with his club. Currently he will have quite a few clubs wanting to sign him at the end of the season.

Nigeria youth international Nnamdi Ofoborh is being linked with a move to Scottish Premiership giants Glasgow Rangers.

According to Scottish Sun, The Light Blues are closing in on a deal for Bournemouth pair Jack Simpson and Ofoborh.

The former Tottenham Hotspur youth-teamer can sign a preliminary contract with a foreign club this month as his contract with the Cherries expires in June 2021.

Aside from Rangers, Ofoborh also has suitors from the English Football League including Charlton Athletic.

Rangers have held preliminary talks with Bournemouth over a deal for the former Nigeria U20 international; the Championship promotion hopefuls would be due compensation if he moves across the border as he is under the age of 24.

Over the course of this season Ofoborh has recorded five appearances for the Cherries in all competitions.

Super Eagles stars Leon Balogun and Joe Aribo, ex-Golden Eaglets invitee Malcolm Ebiowei and Dapo Mebude are on the books of Rangers.

Your background is irrelevant you are getting sentimental and emotive. Whether your from China or Africa, that should not be an excuse.

Players have left Africa direct from local football to top 5 leagues in Europe and have excelled.

We talk about the HERE and NOW.

The reference to Chelsea is not tenable and if you had an understanding of the dynamics at play in Chelsea you would not use that example.

Lukaku who to me is one of the best, WORLD CLASS most consistent strikers in the world over the past 10 years. Did not get a look in at Chelsea.

By your unit of measurement, Lukaku is therefore mediocre.

Ola Aina chose Fulham there were other options and a big factor was the Managers and playing style.

Finally, the EPL is the most competitive league in the World.

Mr. K please remind us of the league Man Utd's current best player is from. He came right from the league you have denigrated and won the EPL player of the month multiple times. Ruben dias nko? So sir, Sanusi has played against the best in Europe and came smelling like roses. When your Robinson crusoe plays in the UCLthen this will be a legit argument.
