Naby Keita

Wow. I just did the same search and apart from us having a little chit chat about it posts just after he left said things like "we thought we were getting a world class player". It goes right back from there.

My mum's done an internet course, I can pop over the details if you fancy a go?

Someone saying they thought we were getting a world class player isn’t the same as as there being a commonly held consensus that he actually was world class though. It’s actually saying the opposite.

Why don’t you quote some of these posts that actively claimed him to be world class?

Your mum can help you.

'The Black Souness'

I know! Wrong on so many levels!

Thing is we've all been sold a pup on players in the past, but we don't have to continue the delusion. For me I genuinely believed that Baros would be the Ostravan Maradona. Owned.

I don’t ever remember anyone claiming Keita was word class.

Maybe some shouts during his Leipzig days about potential to be, but that’s it.

My recollection was that Naby came to us with the same kind of buzz as Szoboslai - you may mot have heard of this guy but he's going to wow you. Difference is Szoboslai did very well at first.

Even that video says to me that at his very best he's a decent player. World class I just don't buy.

I still have no idea where this "exceptionally talented" comes from. I've never, ever seen it. I've seen a couple of times when he was good for us, a few when he was ok, and quite a few when he was poor albeit when the team was struggling generally. I've never understood the narrative that he was exceptional or world class, but lots of people have said it.

I can understand where you are coming from as Nabi when he fancied it, was quite brilliant but in spurts & came with quite a reputation from Germany hence the "world class" billing.

I remember wathcing a few of thsese and was sure he was the missing link,. Driven, Tenacity and vison....All left in Germany.

I think he made Austrian, then German, then Uefa team of year before we signed him

It's a shame as he is an exceptionally talented player - if had worked harder and replicated his Leipzig form, he'd have been a world beater.

Anyone still doubt that he was swinging the lead when with us? “Naby felt something in the warmup”, yeah, felt like he couldn’t be arsed.

Yeah and i bored myself arguing about him to the contrary for years.

That cunt stole a living that most of us would give for with the club at a fraction of what he cost! Given where he came from in that part of Africa, you would think he would realise the privilege he was given.
