Ndidi- box to box
Azubuike - holding/defensive midfield
And we’d be unstoppable in Russia
Azubuike will not be in our top 40, Ndidi will not start, Mikel will not playmake. It midfield will be more like Ndidi and Mikel with either Ajagun or Nwakali as our playmaker. Now that is unstoppable!

How exactly is that question red herring? It is a very relevant question. Knowing what we know on this forum it is important to clarify thisAyo Akinfe wrote:Red herringimehjunior wrote:Uncle Ayo when last did you watch Nwankali play?Ayo Akinfe wrote:smartbrother wrote:Mikel-AM

Re: What Leicester fans think of Ndidi after yesterday
Indeed we have fans who are passionate about SE. Those fans don't surface after qualification. They are around all the time.
We also have licensed football agents on this site. It is not a CRIME to be an agent. It is however necessary to have a disclosure because of conflict of interest. MisterDolly is (was) a football agent. He made a disclosure.
There are however other pseudo agents trying to pretend as fans. There was the 'handshake' experience during Onigbinde era including the plan to use CE as a platform for some of the 'deals'.
We also have another instance during the Berti 'Stash' when supposed 'fans' were doing deals that led to katakata. No be Emeka be Berti Vogts 'eye' then???
When same people start the same nonsense again, we need to let them know that we are watching.
It takes more than 'passion' to run commentary on a match one never watched. It takes more than passion to recommend players you never 'see' play to the National Team.
We are hustlers and we know it!

That is why they are fans.
Their opinions are subjective and often seem illogical - just like yours. The same seeming illogicality that comes with politics or religion applies to football too.
You cant just accuse everyone of being an agent simply because their choices differ from yours and baffle you. That is what is disrespectful.
Personally, I woudn't know where to start as a football agent, but I definitely have my views on some players. So to call me and millions like me agents is completely absurd.
Newer player? At some point every player is a 'newer' player. New players do not only appear during off-peak periods or during qualification stages. They can appear at any time and from anywhere. "If they are unsuitable or inexperienced" is a straw man and more importantly a very subjective view. Unsuitable according to who? You?To me, I t’s quite disrespectful, annoying and arrogant to advocate for newer players even if they’re unsuitable or inexperienced.
'Experience' is a more objective quality but even then, it is not everything.
I am one of those that warn against discounting inexperience - but I would always want a balance with talent. Some seriously talented individuals might need less experience to shine while some less talented players use their experience to supplement their game. So it works both ways.
Again you cannot use your own subjective opinion as the benchmark and then go ahead and accuse others of being agents. Sorry.
Says who? Just say you are only just noticing the calls for all these 'mysterious' players.Why didn’t you guys suggest all this mysterious players during wcq? Why do you guys only suggest players when we have qualified?
And who are these mysteries anyway? Please name them and let us check their histories on CE. Most are young players and therefore just coming into their own. Uzoho and Onyekuru might not have benefitted from the exposure of the headline-generating Iheanacho and Iwobi, but everyone's path is different.
I am sure if you go thru the threads over the quali games (and even before) you will find these names being touted. If you are only seeing them now then you are seeing only what you want to see to buttress your deep suspicions and preconceptions that 'agents are at work'.
The comparison between those already invited and those being suggested is purely subjective. Until Ebuehi stepped on the grass v Argentina, very few thought he was up to it. Thankfully, the only subjective opinion that matters is Rohr'sThe annoying fact is that the suggested players aren’t even exceptional nor better than available ones. My own is that the time of “Monkey Dey work baboon Dey chip is over” after World Cup, your players can be given a chance to fight for a shirt
Your other point about 'monkey dey work baboon dey chop' is pure sentiment.
Nobody is owed a seat on the plane to the WC no matter how hard they have worked. If a better Nigerian player comes along tomorrow and fits into the team, he is in.
That's the Rule of Law in football. If you are second best, you drop out.
Now, if you continue pushing such sentimental arguments we will have no choice but to conclude you are indeed an agent.

Even if 'pseudo agents' exist what impact do they really have? Are they involved in selection by posting on CE? Even if they promote their own players how does that change anything?

Re: What Leicester fans think of Ndidi after yesterday
I did not ignore the instances you mentioned. Your definition of advertisement is very wide. If advocating for a player is advertisement then we are all guilty of it. And most of us have used what we picked up on CE to further our businesses- my career as a lawyer has been helped by the business lessons I have learnt on CE. I have had CE members approach me witg possible work that I have had to turn down because I am an in-house lawyer.wanaj0 wrote:The impact is using CE to further their business.

The practice of calling people agents has now become an instrument to stifle opinion which is what we do not want to see on CE. If we were in the position of Cameroon pre 1990 WC and someone had advocated for the inclusion of a 38 year old Roger Milla that person would have been called an agent.
If Rohr decides to pick his 11 based on CE then he deserves to fail.
Re: What Leicester fans think of Ndidi after yesterday
I tire my brother. If it had been down to the consensus on CE the likes of Babatunde and Uchebo would not have made the 2014 WC. CE was almost unanimous in rejecting both players yet they were still picked.maceo4 wrote:aruako1 wrote:Even if 'pseudo agents' exist what impact do they really have?

That's the Rule of Law in football. If you are second best, you drop out.
Now, if you continue pushing such sentimental arguments we will have no choice but to conclude you are indeed an agent.
I hear Rohr comes here to get his starting 11 from ohenhens posts People on here just take themselves way too seriously as if posters here actually have influence.
Re: What Leicester fans think of Ndidi after yesterday
There are agents on CE who declared their interests. There are also pseudo agents who pretend to be fans during the day and are agents at night. They can express their 'agency' opinion and it will be acknowledged as such. No one has stopped agents from expressing their opinion as far as I know. For example, you can advocate for Okocha to be called to the SE but be honest by letting us know that you are Okocha's agent! That way we will fully understand where you are coming from.aruako1 wrote:I did not ignore the instances you mentioned. Your definition of advertisement is very wide.

Re: What Leicester fans think of Ndidi after yesterday
There is no need for anyone on CE to state their business before they post on CE. In fact there is no conflict of interest if an agent fails to disclose his link to a player he is promoting on CE. The interest of CE is to share varied subjective opinions and such an agent is not in conflict with that interest. If CE was a magazine and the agent is a reporter then a conflict arises. However it is clear to all and sundry that CE contributions are subjective opinions and should be treated accordingly. Another area where a conflict may arise is if the person works with the SE in any capacity and fails to declare his agency.wanaj0 wrote:There are agents on CE who declared their interests.

Re: What Leicester fans think of Ndidi after yesterday
If someone introduced himself as 'CE contributing editor' that is wrong but it is not what we are discussing here. If Ezeala was promoting his players on CE while working for the SE that is NFF's problem not CE's. And no people do not know the difference between a FAN posting and an AGENT posting. Once they disagree with someone they call the person an agent.wanaj0 wrote:And the people concerned at various times have introduced themselves as 'CE Contributing editor'aruako1 wrote:

Well Ndidi just made a fool of himself. Getting a second yellow for a shocking and pathetic dive in the box ...red card and will be sanctioned by the diving panel.

The idea of the panel sanction is where a player’s dive has successfully deceived the ref on the field.
