I don’t think Adeyemi is a baller. 
 

But he is super quick and direct.
 

After seeing what Howe has done to Gordon, Almiron for awhile, Murphy, Howe could turn him into something special.

 

We don’t seem to be going after ballers so… Adeyemi’s a fair shout. 

 

:lol:

 

Interesting.

 

So you've gone from saying you'd not seen much of him, and he was just super quick, with no ball control, to now saying Howe can make him world class.

 

Okay buddy :thup:

I’ve seen enough of him. 
 

The pace is amazing. He has impressive underlying stats this season.  
 

I do think he lacks something. In the CL final he missed a few great chances. Never looked like scoring either - something in the technique or the mentality. 
 

Couple years left on the contract. Might get a fair fee for him - might be a bargain. Im fucking desperate for a RW. £60m for Elanga or £30-40m for Adeyemi?

I'd love to hear more about your baller test.

Okay, well maybe next time watch the player a bit more or look further into these underlying stats you love so much, before accusing me of just rating him because he's got a Nigerian name.

You do love your Nigerian lads though.  
 

He’s not a baller.

Think Isak, Bruno, Hall.  Players with that extra bit of class on the ball.  Touch under pressure, clean ball striking, ability  to glide past players, weight of pass, ability to see and pull of the unexpected etc. 

 

The Willock - Isak goal against Spurs. The way Isak takes the ball with his left foot in stride, shifts it perfectly to the right in one smooth motion, strikes it clean and hard into the corner. That’s a baller. Pure footballing ability.

Any grown man using the term “baller” also wanks on all fours. 

 

So what are you wanking with if you're on all fours?

I see you’ve put some thought into this [emoji38]

 

Because I was going to give it a go after this Alcaraz v. Rublev match.

I guess it’s pure footballing ability and nothing else. 
 

Things like mentality, consistency and athleticism are just as important or more important. 
 

The very best players are ballers though.  And the most enjoyable to watch.  


so it’s not ‘your test’ as such. Just really good players?

TCD drops phrases like "baller" and "players passing the eye test", gets hammered for it and then comes back without a care in the world, refuses to react and keeps posting those phrases. He knows what he's doing. You have to admire it really.

Just look at the way he refuses to rise to Kaka further up in this thread. Real class. Just swats him away effortlessly. Care free.
