There’s a lot of anger directed at a lad who joined PSG, which is a once in a lifetime opportunity for most players. I don’t know why we have any feelings about him :lol:

 

Admittedly I don’t follow this story closely, so apologies if he’s known to be a massive wrong un.

 

I do sometimes wonder if other clubs end up so bitter over such inconsequential matters. :lol: Even more so an 18 year old who's likely being massively guided by agents/family. We probably weren't even a second thought to him once the 'saga' was over.

Why are you calling him “Nile Ranger”?

Is the lad a criminal?

 

Well Hugo also wasn't lucky enough to hail from the highly educated catchment area of Southampton so it's probable ain't it, Al?

Some good players come through from that area absolutely yes.

I used the nile ranger reference but it was more about the talent he had but he wasn't professional enough to make a go of it. Thought he'd made it soon as he got in pardews side. Then just pissed it up the wall.

To be fair to Ekitike, he's still playing in the Bundesliga, he's not fallen off the face of the earth like Ranger. 

 

Wouldn't be surprised if he ends up with someone like Borussia Dortmund, Inter, that sort of club in 2 years.

Its very odd. :lol: Like any young french lad doesn't dream of playing for PSG.

 

Comparing him to Nile Ranger ffs..

 

It's like getting turned down by a lass and calling her ugly afterwards

A lot more skilful than I remember him

 

 

Thought he looked a real prospect when we were chasing him, not surprised Howe was gutted when we couldn't seal it. But he wasn't for us so fuck him.

Always looked a baller to me. 

He is, so much untapped potential with him and PSG were going to be an unlikely club to extract it. Still understand why he went for that move.

 

Had he come here or somewhere like Frankfurt back in 2022 he could by now be close to that same big move to an elite club that he made but as an established player. I think he’ll get there, he has alot of room to grow.

75% of German defences are so poor though. Ekitike is not super quick and he jogs past that defender after giving him a head start.


For some context to that goal it was against Bochum who are rock bottom without a single win. Frankfurt won 7-2.

He's looked really good for Frankfurt this season though. Obviously helped by playing every week and in a league where he gets space and time, but definitely looks a player. You can see we knew what we were doing going for him.
