Eze too is a real talent.
Problem I see is whether he would fit into the England 'model'.
So the issue is not the talent but the 'fit'.
Here's the latest youtube video on him.
Basically, how do we manage Iwobi, Ejuke, Lookman and Eze and what would be the hierarchy should all four become available?
We can't give up on the fight for Eze. It's not over until its over.
Most of this is from the championship, Grealish is ahead having proven himself in the EPL, and that their last game was a real eye opener to how much better Grealish is in comparison. But of course Eze is talented and will improve, but can’t see him beating better talents to an England spot (Madison, Grealish etc)...England is blessed sha...
Yes, I noticed that too. I've missed most of Eze's EPL games so far, but from what I've been reading here and def the references to him on TV, its pretty clear he has continued the trend. He was even featured on either MOTD (BBC) or SKY Sports two days ago.
In a way, for very selfish reasons I'd prefer less publicity for him to avoid him getting capped by England simply for 'in case of incasity' purposes, depriving him of the Nigeria option. He is young and may not see it that way though. That kind of player has incredible self-belief and he won't change his game too much. He said so in the interview.
He said he plays "for fun" and actually described his role as "an entertainer". How that pans out at the top level is anybody's guess. Okocha was the same. You need supreme confidence in yourself and your skills to pull off those tricks in real matches. He said he learnt much of it playing in "the cage" against bigger and stronger boys.
I've seen a lot of Maddison because I'm always watching for Ndidi and Nacho at Leicester. He's good. But I need to watch the Grealish kid more. He must be really good for even Nigerians to be raving about a white English boy like him. That doesn't normally happen.
