A bit overly simplistic. He went through the German education system, was brought up with German friends, teachers, coaches, teammates etc. Very different to being brought up in Turkey
Simplistic?
Ah, sorry for being as you put it “overly simplistic”, by putting forward the thought that being Turkish doesn’t mean that a footballer’s doomed to never be good enough for top flight footie in England.
Having considered your cutting and revealing remarks about my use of Gundogan as an example.
I must say that I’m gobsmacked that in your “not so simple” world, having a Turkish education, Turkish friends, Turkish teachers etc. means that a footballer can’t be good enough to play in the Premier League but a German passport and education can wash away the debilitating Turkishness of said Turkish bloke who was raised in a Turkish family, speaking Turkish and being culturally Turkish etc. and maybe get said redeemed Turk a stint in the PL.
Haha I’ve sussed you pal, you’re Nigel Farage doing your favourite Alf Garnett impersonation aren’t you?
Anyhow, your best efforts are wasted on me pal, I’m too much of a snowflake and what have you.
PS. You might like to note that many of the worlds greatest ever players were raised in abject poverty, in poor countries and with scant education . . . Oh and their friends, teachers, teammates, coaches etc. came from where they came from . .
Would Pele have got a game or two in Englands top flight, would Maradona (raised in a shanty town) have been able to hoof a bladder up the best mown English turf . . Well I recon so but, then again, what’s the opinion of a pinko liberal non-racist snowflake mean anyhow eh?
