Other Teams Thread XIV

Truly wasted talent remaining in Asia.

 

Nam Tae Hee > Omar

 

But Oman shows up in both club and international matches. Nam Tae Hee just gets lost out there sometimes wearing the KNT shirt.

Based on Asian Cup 2015, Omar's individual creativity was very impressive. One of those players that stand out without the commentators telling us so. He also seemed elegant and graceful with a football.

 

So whats the reason behind the fact he is still playing in Asia? Money?

 

I remember reading an article by John Duerden on this issue.
https://www.theguardian.com/football/blog/2015/apr/29/uae-omar-abdulrahman-asia

I guess it can be difficult to risk decent salary and comfort for chance to play in Europe.

 

As i was reading the article, i got a feeling that the guy has a luck of ambitions and prefers to make money there. What a waste.

 

Read between the lines. The people in power will block the moves with no concern for the player or national team's future. Getting a fat non-taxable income is just added incentive for players not to rock the boat.

 

Well as a freelance i dont think the people in power can do something about him leaving. But no, he signed a new contract wich means...you know...

 

"...wealthy club owners have often been reluctant to let their stars leave. For example, in 2006 Faisal Khalil signed for Châteauroux in France. The striker was delighted but his former club, Al Ahli, was not. The UAE’s football association did not issue his international transfer clearance. The owner of Al Ahli was, handily, also the Crown Prince of Dubai and had a few words and before long Khalil (reportedly later arrested for hiring a witch doctor to curse a rival for a starting spot) was home."

Maybe he re-signed due to 'an offer he couldn't refuse.'

 

But the dude was a freelance or not? I dont get this.

 

qataris forced nam taehee to stay in qatar last year. itd be funny if abu dhabi stops lee myungju from returning to korea for army

 

NTH was under contract with some clubs?

 

no his contract had expired but they still found ways to force him to stay

 

3rd world of football

 

AC Milan refused to send Donnarumma and Romagnoli with the under 21, wich is set to be playing against France under 21.

 

If you dig around here there's plenty of conjecture but from what I recall not paid a ton originally.

 

He does show for his national team, but that's only during the 1st half of every match from what I saw in the Asian Cup.

If you watched Omar Abdulrahman back in the Asian Cup, he had a poor habit of disappearing in the 2nd half of every match. His passing was off, he made poor decisions, and he got lazier when it came to defending.

Are they sure they can use the name Jose MourinhoTM without incurring the wrath of Chelsea?

 

What an OG by Eric Dier. Right in between the legs of Forster.
