Icon4s:



Too early. Let us see him maintain this form even till next season.

Finidi was up there for almost a decade!

joseph1013:
Personally, this is the most absurd thing I've heard today. Yekini will not make a combined two world cup team. Oga, Yekini will make the first eleven of Nigeria from 1960 to 2016. Don't let people hear this football heresy abeg.

Mickael2:


Ok, you didn't watch Babangida well enough. Wait sef, against Tanzania what was Moses doing? Exactly what you just explained now! Take the ball, focus your face on the ground and run to wherever you want with it. Like Icon4s mentioned, let him be consistent enough

Icon4s:
Elder enomakos, i sight u. Welcome

joseph1013:
Please can you show me anywhere online where Finidi was regarded as better than Figo. I've heard it since like forever by Nigerians but I didn't see any source.

Icon4s:


What was Garba Lawal's position(s) in the team?

Icon4s:


Source?

Do u know how many events of the 80s and 90s that were nt documented due to lack of the internet?

Mickael2:


i don't even understand what you are saying again. I thought I made it clear that I am choosing squarely from the two teams in question, the first is the team that represented us at the 98 world cup and our present team. How many games did Yekini play at the 98 world cup?

joseph1013:
Babangida is a mere upgraded Pius Ikedia. Take ball, run with it with the head looking at the ground to the corner flag, and cross hoping for the best.

He's got nothing on Victor Moses.

joseph1013:
Then you missed my point. I said Mikel is top 3 in Nigeria's best ever players. If you pick the highlight of both Mikel and Oliseh in club and country, Mikel wins.

Icon4s:


Did u see Babangida when he was at Ajax?

Victor Moses' best game for Nigeria ever was against Algeria in Uyo. He has largely.been disappointing in his entire career.

Go watch Nig-Gha 2000 & see Babangida in action. Even France '98.

joseph1013:

joseph1013:
Chai...una don start o. Do you know when the internet was invented? If Finidi was ever the world's best winger between 1995 and 1998, it will be recorded somewhere. So how come we have documented strides of George Weah?

That's how they said India beat Nigeria 99 - 0.

joseph1013:
Are you sure you watched the Tanzanian match? Moses does not play like Ikedia please. Moses is direct. He beats his markers, sprays passes, crosses or shoots. Unlike Ikedia, he doesn't hug the touchline.

joseph1013:
Babangida did not do for Nigeria in those two tournaments what Victor Moses did not do in the AFCON triumph in 2013. Have you forgotten his impact in the tournament?

tbaba1234:


Babangida was a baller, he scores goals too, makes all those ljungberg kind of runs, plus he had good technique.

I was an Ajax fan as a kid and Tijani was always scoring critical goals.

tbaba1234:


One or Two years sitting on the bench and he might never reach his potential. The boy needs a full season of regular weekly football to reach where he needs to be.

enomakos:
did you watch finito play during his days with ajax?he was not only the best crosser of the ball but also the best passer of the ball during his time
he was better than figo

goldfish80:

It's not a laughing matter oh. Sometimes, I don't understand TheGoodJoe.

tbaba1234:


Between 1994 and 1997/8, you could not mention 3 right wingers without Finidi.

joseph1013:

joseph1013:
But he's nothing close to Moses.

In 36 games, he scored 5 goals for Nigeria. In 27 games, Moses has scored 9 goals.

Technique, Pace, Skills, Crossing, Goals, Moses has got them.

Mickael2:


Hugging the touchline is actually not a bad thing. That's what people mean when they say you shoud add 'width' to your game, it means instruct your wingers to hug the touchline, funny aint it? Rashford hugs the touchline for Manu, trying to provide width there, so I don't see anything bad with that.

Your main criticism is that he doesn't make penetrating runs and that he does not cross well and all that, agreed Moses made penetrating runs against Tanzania, but his crosses were absurd hence my comparison, or his crosses were on point that day?

Mickael2:


I guess you didn't understand what I aptly pointed out. I said the two generations, or rather the two world cup teams. Let me ask, do you know why Yekini did not start that match?

enomakos:
which match?

Mickael2:


follow this link and read what they posted there.

Mickael2:


This is funny

joseph1013:
I'm not disputing what you said. I'm only asking for source that he was the best winger in the world like I hear people say all the time. It's also telling that even though it is claimed that he was the best, he left Ajax for Betis when the best in the era went to Barcelona and Madrid in Spain.

joseph1013:
Did you watch AFCON 2013? Who was Nigeria's best player in that tournament?

Mickael2:


Against Denmark

Mickael2:


debatable, some would say it's Mikel, some Moses.

Mickael2:


Against Denmark
