I don’t know why we have any feelings about him 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. 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. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alan Pardew Posted April 30, 2024 Share Posted April 30, 2024 Why are you calling him “Nile Ranger”? Is the lad a criminal? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

andycap Posted May 2, 2024 Share Posted May 2, 2024 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. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 Edited May 2, 2024 by Menace Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Edited September 28, 2024 by Nine Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lotus Posted November 3, 2024 Share Posted November 3, 2024 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. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeordieDazzler Posted November 3, 2024 Share Posted November 3, 2024 Nice goal but that knee slide isn’t NUFC level. Isak, Willock and Hall need to show him how it’s done. Sort that and we can talk about bringing him in. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ponsaelius Posted November 3, 2024 Share Posted November 3, 2024 (edited) 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.

Ikon Posted November 3, 2024 Share Posted November 3, 2024 Speaking of Frankfurt. Anyone seen much of Omar Marmoush? Looks like a very exciting and versatile quality player from the little I’ve seen. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
