  1. Footballers that are more/less famous than normal for their quality level

    Stop it.

    Oh right, Cristiano Ronaldo, Neymar, and Sadio Mane are not exceptional players and Ivan Toney wouldn't be in the top 100 players in the world currently. Mind you, I said they target exceptional players not that they get them all. As said, you talk a lot of nonsense. "There's no smoke without...

    Is there any evidence to support this? Over the years, the number of foreign internationals who could play first flight football in other leagues but come to the Championship has shot up. What factors do you think are influencing this? For frame of reference...

  4. Victor Osimhen

    He's scoring at a similar rate to what he has over the past 5 years. This suggests he's likely league agnostic which makes sense for the kind of player he is.

    Why do you talk so much nonsense? 1. You say if every player was purely after money, they’d all be playing in Saudi The Saudis cannot afford every player nor do they want every player. They target exceptional players, and nearly always get them. However, we do have a history of players moving...

    Fair enough. We'll have to see.

  7. Victor Osimhen

    The points are that: 1. When the choice is between a pay cut to play mediocre football, with mid table, conference league Chelsea, and a lot of money to be top dog in a mediocre league, money grabbing if there was such a thing, doesn't come into the conversation. Chelsea at this point only...

    What I said was: Chelsea offered less money than Napoli (90mn per week), while offering the prospect of playing in the conference league. Why would that entice anyone at his level? No self-respecting professional in any field would accept an offer that sets them back in every sense except for...

    Imagine passing up the chance to take a pay cut (less than what he was on at Napoli) to play in the conference league. Such lack of ambition.

  10. AFCON: Does it need and deserve more respect as a tournament?

    The Afcon doesn't need more respect. What it needs is less disrespect. It's fine to have opinions and preferences, but while you don't need to think the Afcon is great or say great things about it, one really should refrain from talking it down for no reason. Clearly, it means a lot to some...

  11. Victor Osimhen

    He's not earning that much now and never has so why wouldn't he?

  12. Aaron Wan-Bissaka | Signs a 7-year contract with West Ham

    Spot on.

  13. Aaron Wan-Bissaka | Signs a 7-year contract with West Ham

    This never happened. He was always far better on the ball than many realized.

  14. Victor Osimhen

    There's a lot that's off with this. A - There's a release clause of 70mn Euros. That makes it simply a question of where the player wants to go. B&C - He's done well in Belgium, France, and Turkey and is prolific at the international level, too, so it's clear it's not just the case that...

  15. Ademola Lookman | Atalanta

    Really ridiculous when you consider that he hasn't missed a penalty for them before this.
