SO IS THE EPL STILL BAD FOR THE SE?

Post by pajimoh »

I remember the incessant moaning about how bad the EPL is for the SE. Is that still the case?
How many goals did EPL based players contributed to the war kitty?

Another way to look at it is to ask how many EPL based players started?

You're looking one game and I'm looking at the whole series.

But if we were to look at it your way, until an EPL-er came on, what was the score? :tic:

But you never mentioned the likes of Moses, Ndidi and other past EPL players who contributed from the beginning before being joined by the match winner

China did not make Mikel but rather enjoying his EPL experience. If anything, China has blunted him a little, at least in the physical demands of the game

A move to a superior league in January would do him well.

Don't get me going bro :D .
Borinho the football coward turned Mikel into a fake Karembu..........but China has returned him back to the U20 superstar I watched live in Holland(U20 WC).

I want to get you started :tic: Whether we like it or not Mikel grew in the EPL. We might debate whether he soul have been better off somewhere else but coulda, woulda, shoulda is not of interest to me but facts. Mikel won everything there is to win in club football. Contributed to Chelsea for over 7 years and played under different managers who still decided to use him in defensive roll.
What Mikel brings to the SE is not China taught but EPL nurtured.

But started dominating in the SE matches when he 'stopped'(benched) playing matches in the Kung fu league :D and moved his SE performance to another level since he moved to China.

Thank you........China :thumbs: :thumbs: :thumbs: :thumbs:
The same with Igahalo..........rubbish with SE while at Kung fu league, worldclass for SE since he moved to China.

Thank you .....China again :thumbs: :thumbs:

I know you like fake, cheap products and you and Yujam, the Spanish lovers can never bring yourself to debate topics like this honestly. So a question for you, how many goals did current EPL players contribute to our Russia ticket? Take ya time :tic: You can write it in Chinese as well :tic:

Even English players have been strengthened by EPL. England has managed to continue qualifying for major tournaments. If you compare them with Scotland, who hasn't qualified for a major tourney since 1986, then it's obvious. The difference btw English and Scottish players is the EPL.

They have done well by us, developing certain aspects of our players game.

But our team has also shown that EPL is not the be all and end all of our players.

I agree that our team is not all EPL dominated but I remember times when some wanted all our players out of the EPL yet some of the dominant players in the SE are EPL battle hardened

If they are to go to the EPL to become carpenters, then NO!

We need them playing.

How can playing in one of the best and most competitive leagues be bad for our players? EPL na beans? How many of our players have failed there from Ideye to Aghahowa to Udeze, it's only now that Moses is doing well in EPL that he's able to dominate SE games. We need players that are doing well in competitive leagues at top clubs. It's Rohrs job to get them to play together and he's doing a good job so far.
