i think people should watch players more than once before deciding that he should be on their "wish list".. why, at 27, does this Nigerian fella play for Hapoel Tel Aviv?
maybe because he's average (good shot stopper, but then again, so is Fabianski.. terrible on crosses, isnt big with commanding his area)
and he's as tall as I am (5'11").. there's a reason that only teams like Espanyol or Galatasaray are interested in him.. lets see how well he does the rest of the tournament.. lets not forget, Rustu Recber had an insanely good WC back in 2002.. and he completely flopped at a big club.. and he was a better keeper than this guy
even Robert Green can look like a superstar on his day.. (not yesterday of course)
Enyeama is a well-known player, people 'discovering' him yesterday is slightly sad. Great shot stopper, not good enough in every other department. Think Carlos Kameni.
well known where? maybe in Nigeria or in Israel.. not all that well known to the general European watching public.. i like to think that I know who quite a few players are in Europe (admittedly less so in other areas of the world, but still not totally naive) and I have never heard of him.. i think many people had no idea who he is..
but we agree that he's a good shot stopper (one of 5 things that make a great keeper) and not much else..
Been a fan of Samir Handanovic for a while now. He's been solid for Udinese the past few seasons. Big, quick and commands his area well. Seeing him against Algeria today reminded me that we could do a whole lot worse as far as goalkeepers are concerned this summer.
Had a dodgy moment when he passed the ball out to a defender, when he should have put his foot through it, and then had the audacity to scream and shout at the defender. Looked decent otherwise, but, had very little to do.
Enyeama is known because of fm. I doubt many people have seen him play club football, but many people did have him on their fm team. He was in my QPR team for about 5 years and I've had him in a few Arsenal squads of mine.
That being said, fm is a poor way to judge a player and it was nice to see how he played in real life. He definitely was impressive, but like USArsenal said, you can't judge a goalkeeper based on shot-stopping alone. He seemed to have good distribution as well too though.
I was receiving offers from many other clubs and declining them all, even the most tempting ones. Juventus, Real Madrid, PSG contacted me, Bayern, France, England...I am happy to have been able to say no to more glory, more money, and to have been guided only by the idea of loyally serving the club. I had knitted myself a soul in Red and White.
