Esiti to PSG

[wale1974]

This summer is going to be interesting for Nigerian players. Ifeanyi Matthew is on the verge of signing for Anderlecht. If this moves comes through, it pushes Esiti back into SE reckoning. I hope it works out. This is the Rohr effect.

Serious baller

What pushed him out of reckoning to begin with? Dude always played well for us. I suspect there is more than football related reasons for his continued exclusion. Outside of maybe Ndidi, he has been our most consistent central midfield player in Europe this season.

That Dept is so crowded at the moment, now with Agu playing well..............it's going to be hard for Esiti, Lawal and Mathew to break into the team.

[wale1974]

Based on what I have seen of him at Gent, Esiti is yet to develop several aspects of his game. His passing range and tacking is average while his strength (physical traits); technique and understanding of the game is way above midfielders in the Belgian league. His biggest weakness is his reaction time. This can be seen as he accumulated numerous cautions for late challenges. If you pay special attention to his passes, he does require some time on the ball, but his technique is quite good. If PSG want him, great!, but I'm afraid it will be a case of "Echiejile goes to Monaco" 2.0.

kai see bad-belle... nah wah for some of una ..my goodness.. you dey vex your client no get sele?

Bad belle for speaking his mind

I've never understood why Esiti is so undervalued by SE managers. He has always played well when given a chance, and then mysteriously, he doesn't get invited the next game! It is very puzzling. I have watched the guy play several times and I like his game. I was attacked once on here for saying he was probably slightly better than Ndidi.
Anyway, it's all good. Congrats to him if this is true.

Well lets see if the move is true first.

I am not that aware of his ability, as I have never watched him extensively. Also, many on here have said he is a "jam body" player, maybe Rohr agrees. Again, i hope this moved comes true. In a world cup year, we need most of our players to be playing in top leagues

What does "jam body player" mean? He is a big, strong guy who is very comfortable on the ball and has good passing range. I compare him to Victor Wanyama.

You just described Wanyama but I'm not sure about Esiti meeting that definition though I stand to be corrected. The Esiti that I've watched (though limited for SE and his club during Europa league) is certainly a physical force in midfield but not the best footballing ability which explains why Ndidi is a better player at this moment b/c Ndidi is strong physically and can play football. Now who knows, Esiti might move to PSG and his game will open up playing in a more competitive and ambitious environment. But that remains to be seen. That said, I would have liked to have seen a little more of him in the SE as I thought he performed OK with the little opportunity that Rohr gave him during WCQs.

We saw both on the same field, Esiti was chasing shadows and fouling everyone in sight. I hope this is true, but I very much doubt it.

Which match? Esiti held his own in that match.

Go and rewatch the match abeg, he was many levels below Wanyama.

Troost is wanted by EPL newcomers, Brighton, while Lyon are on Etebo's trail. PSV are sniffing around Ebuehi and Nura Abdullahi should be fit to play for Roma next season.

You omitted Shehu Abdullahi as full back, Muazzam as midfielder, Ikeme as Keeper, and potentially Enyeama as a comeback Keeper.

Please can we hold off on these speculations until we see actual signing on the dotted line. I have seen and heard such rumors before at the end of day not even one significant move was made by any of our players. Thus, I sincerely implore everybody to lower their expectations and excitements to avoid extremely disappointed if their expectations don't come true. Though, I will confess this year's prospect is looking brighter than previous years . However,we still have to apply some caution.

I disagree with you on whether Esiti will get playing time at PSG if the move is completed. After PSG's humiliating capitulation at the Camp Nou against Barcelona in the UCL, the club hierarchy felt that one of the reasons for the defeat was the lack of a physical midfielder, while PSG is not lacking in technical midfielders like Veratti, Motta, Matuidi etc, they lacked muscle in the middle and that is where Esiti comes in. He is a different type of midfielder to what PSG already have. With PSG playing over 60 games next season in the French Cup, French League Cup, Ligue 1 and UCL, Esiti will get a lot of playing time.

Motta, Veratti .. Tweedy? Matuidi too? Not physical enough? I bet our boy Onazi will beg to disagree. Besides, how physical is barca? Physicality had absolutely nothing to do with the barca loss. They played not to loose and sometimes when you do that, you're unwittingly playing to loose. It happens a lot in professional sports. Anyway, you might have a point but mostly for their league games given the french league is fairly physical.

I ignored Shehu Abdullahi, Muazzam and Ikeme because there are no "juicy speculations" on them.

and yea, Eyeama should be on that list if he agrees to get back to SE.

Wale1974,
The stats here shows that Esiti was rated higher than Wanyama once in both duels. And when you do a head to head using the same link, they were very close on all parameters for both matches.
