First of all its your consistent, outstanding club and league performances that get you national team call up.

This is why when a player is in s higher and better club it gives you propulsion to the national team.

When a player does well he gets noticed.

There is a reason Sanusi is not in a top 5 league and or club. In addition we really cannot say how good he is until he plays week in and week out in a better club league against opposition players who are faster, stronger and technically better.

. Bros abeg abeg this is new year. Which one be say sanusi has not played against higher opposition wetin be champions league abi u no watch how he pocket mahrez . I personally like the improvement ola aina is getting this is what we want, to make eagles strong. Zaidu sanisu is class and I so know he will perform well if a bigger club comes since Porto now is not big in your eyes. Ola aina u are even over hyping what did he do in Torino that is extraordinary ?Omo take am easy oo. Everybody won't be in bigger clubs the same time the question is how well are u doing in that same club to attract bigger clubs?last time I check he is nailing it. Sanusi trajectory in football in a space of 2-3years is amazing. Give him that respect.

Believe own goal na you sabi b dat

If umar continues scoring he will be sold for 15 million at least

Almeria will be happy to make another profit after selling darwin nunez to benfica for 24 million last year
the won't sell him for 15 million now because they want to be promoted to Laliga and he is key to that

Nnamdi Oforborh is one guy I had high hopes for the Nigerian midfield but his career path has been wayward, first benched at Bournemouth and on the verge of a move to Rangers when he could be playing at Wycombe and be looking to make a move to a more stable championship club if they are relegated

His agent has blood on his hands
And Dele at Watford got injured at the wrong time

in the HERE and NOW Aina is playing for a relegation threatened team. Sanusi on the other hand plays week in week out for one of Europe's most prestigious clubs Porto that has won multiple UCL titles Europe's highest prize.

Aina is talented and has time to improve but looking strictly at the HERE and NOW he has regressed club wise. Chelsea to Torino to Fulham sorry that's not great reading.

You used Lukaku as an example without giving proper background. After leaving Chelsea he worked his way up to join Manchester United a bigger club than Chelsea and Inter Milan another club bigger than the blues.

Until Aina starts kicking it with the big boys then I would qualify your assertions as personal bias based on sentiment and emotive prejudice.

komekn:


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.

As things stands aina is in a better form and a better player so I don’t know what you mean

I am saying that Ebuehi is a better fit and has shown more in the RB position than Aina as it stands.
Untill we try Aina in that position again.

On current form Aina is our best RB but its sad that he is playing for a team ranked 18th in the epl. Ebuehi might have more potential (pre injuries) but currently, he isn't better than Aina.

This is not for debate.

When it comes to the fullback business, Ebuehi is the better pick.
I won't blame Gernot Rohr for choosing to play CB's at RB with Aina looking from the bench.
Aina might improve, I have seen some Improvements anyways.

How can you analyse the role of a fullback and tell me Aina is a better pick. Ebuehi excels in that role biko, and with class.

How is ebuehi better ?

Ebuehi performance in the eagles is just normal and nothing more, his performance is not even up to what aina played at the afcon and yet you think he is better

Did you watch aina at the afcon ? i am sure you did not

Why do i think most of you prefer him because say na fine boy grin

You wont blame rohr for choosing to play cb at rb just because you think aina is not good, but what about classy ebuehi? LOL

No matter how you paint it its so clear

As much as i like dissing the epl is there any twente player that will start at fulham? cheesy

At the bolded stop contradicting your self , even blind man know say aina don improve like mad but just because you wanna make a case for ebuehi you dont wanna fully admit cheesy cheesy cheesy

For one, the league that the 2 of them isn't even comparable neither is the club. If for example, ebuehi was at psv or Ajax then there can be a conversation. For 2, Aina has actually been better for Nigeria than ebuehi even though I think ebuehi had more potential pre injuries. Anyway, for ebuehi to regain his position, he has to become Fit, perform significantly at twente and transfer to the Big 3 then we can have a conversation

You mean to tell me Fulham is better than Twente?? Aina has played more games for Nigeria, yes but has he performed better than Ebuehi, No. So Ebuehi will have to transfer out from Twente but Aina will have to stay at Fulham to impress you

I like Aina but this English league worship does not sit well with me

You keep asking rhetorical questions as if you're joking. Of course, Fulham is better than Twente and the fact that they're ranked 18th speak volume of the quality of SE. Aina has also been more impressive than ebuehi for Nigeria (2 assists) even though Ebuehi was more talented pre injuries and like I said, my modem of Qualifications in reference to SE selections are
1) Quality of Team, League
2) Player performance at Club that way, we can weed out the boys from the men. Ebuehi doesn't have to move to Epl for there to be a competition but he can transfer to the best team in his farmers league i.e Ajax, psv, Benfica, porto, cska Moscow, lyon etc just impress at his small club and transfer to the big 3 i.e Epl, La liga and Seria A. As for now, there isn't even a debate who owns that Right back position. Another player that we have to look out for is the guy at cologne "ehizibue

‘HE REMINDS ME OF ERLING HAALAND’:
NEIL MELLOR PRAISES LIVERPOOL YOUNGSTER LEIGHTON CLARKSON


Speaking on the Liverpool Echo’s Blood Red podcast, Bundesliga expert Constantin Eckner has discussed how Liverpool loanee Taiwo Awoniyi is getting on at Union Berlin this season.

The Nigerian forward has been on Liverpool’s books for a number of years now, and despite his desire to play for the Reds, he’s struggled to get a work permit, meaning that he’s had to go out on loan a number of times.

His most recent loan spell has seen him plying his trade in the German capital, and it’s fair to say that he’s found his feet in Berlin, netting five times in 12 league appearances this season.

Eckner believes that Liverpool-owned Awoniyi has finally found his level and that he’s being utilised in the perfect way by the Bundesliga outfit.

“I think he’s found his level there, he’s what you would call a utility player, so he is perfect for the role they’ve given him. He works quite well for the Union Berlin system, which is also kind of direct, a lot of vertical passes, he makes a number of runs behind the backline,” Eckner said.


The journalist was then asked to compare him to another current player who Liverpool fans may know more about, to which he replied:

“That’s a hard one to come up with a good comparison, I mean, in a way he reminds me of Erling Haaland with the runs he makes behind the line.

“Of course, he’s nowhere near the level of Erling Haaland, but just his style is somewhat similar, and he’s a good, not great poacher inside the box, he’s a decent finisher at least.”

Liverpool have been linked with a move for Erling Haaland in recent times, so this is an interesting comment to say the least.

Awoniyi isn’t at Haaland’s level, very few strikers in the world are, but having a striker that direct, pacy and good at finishing would certainly be a boost for the Reds.

With Divock Origi constantly being linked with a move away, perhaps Awoniyi will get an opportunity to play a part for the Reds at some point. However, that, of course, depends on him getting a work permit.
