Ndidi is better than Partey on CE :winking:
The neutrals think otherwise
One plays for a middle of the road EPL team
The other plays for one of the top teams in Europe's best league
One is valued more than the other (viewtopic.php?f=1&t=292852)

Go Figure!!!

Isn’t it based on last season...
Aurier, Baily, and Keita spent more time on the bench and Doctor's bed.................Good players but not at the expensive of Ndidi, Colley and Mazraoui

It's ridiculous. The union jackers have killed SE, gone are the days when almost each one of our best players had a thread on CE. It's all Arsenal, Man U and Chelsea. Boring.
has anyone on the forum prevented you guys from creating threads on 'our best players'?
TFCO, why are you being "sneaky?" Why didn't you write out the word "your" in your post instead of hiding your intention(s)?

It depends on what you're looking for. If you want a destroyer or pure DM then Ndidi is better for that role than Partey. However if your team needs a two way box to box midfielder that can join the attack and protect the defense then I will go with Partey. Partey is the more complete player so I see why he was picked ahead of Ndidi. I would have left out Keita and picked Ndidi because Keita missed a good number of games last year.

Can I also compare Kojo Owusu(Kotoko, Ghana) vs Ndidi(Leicester, EPL)?
My Point:
  • One plays for a top club in the worlds best league
    The league that has won 5 of the last 5 Champions league
    Guess which one?

What on earth are the Ivorians Bailly and Aurier (two reserves) doing in there? Worse still, they put Koulibaly at LB so they could fit in those two! :shock: The two CDs should have been Benatia and Koulibaly - end of. Plus where is Hakimi (of Real Madrid AND Dortmund!). Onyango instead of the young Ajax GK Onana? ... hmm...

Ndidi is the goods but he is not better than Thomas its a Partey or Keita (before Liverpool ruined him)

Besides, Partey plays for one of the top 3 teams in the best league in the world :winking:
Ndidi plays for a middle of the road EPL side

The list is 100 percent correct and this is why I keep emphasizing that we encourage our players to sign for world class clubs so they can get accustomed to world class awards and world class players. You cannot think that average/backwater clubs will get precedence over World class teams.
Ndidi plays at Leicester (no award last year)
Partey plays at Atletico (Europa league champions ) the competition Partey faces is way higher than ndidi level and he would probably be a star man at a small club. Anyway, I expect ndidi to make a move to one of the best clubs next season if he is good as you guys claim
