bros i was referring to international engagements any average player can shine in any club match

jayjay comedian? no bruv the joke is when you take a supposed top striker like kanu to 9 international senior tournaments and he fails to register a goal even if na own goal he no even score one pere

actually i like aghahowa i would choose him over kanu. utaka started promisingly but he fizzled out

SIRcumalot:

Portsmouth fa cup win.
Kanu was their best player and Man of the match.

forget okocha,that guy na comedian.
support agawonder.
or utaka the attacker

boss i don't remember jayjay relegating frankfurt but let's agree for argument sake he did those were his formative years and you have to admit he became more mature in his game play over the years

my guy you are being unfair referring to okocha as at best a ball juggler. does a mere ball juggler emerge mvp of a tournament? does a mere ball juggler feature in multiple best 11 in different tournaments? will a ball juggler captain his national team? will pele pick a ball juggler as one of the top 100 players of the 20th century?

if this was an argument about okocha not fulfilling his vast then that would be a different thing. i'm not a big fan of mikel but i will always acknowledge his contributions to the national team even though he hasn't lived up to the initial promise he showed in 2005/2006. the crux of my argument with dayo is you don't have to like okocha but give the man his due

lekkie073:
do u know that okocha relegated eintracht Frankfurt before leaving them.....
they were losing matches and at d same time rejoicing because of okocha's dribbling exploits.

when they saw d light, it was too late.
okocha is at best a ball juggler. he is not a technical player. with his skills he was supposed to play for the elite clubs but what he did in 1996 against Kahn shows how unserious he is as a professional......though he didn't see it dat way

go and ask jupp heynckes who almost had an heart attack all because of a certain Jay Jay okocha who took showboating to a new level by deciding to wait and further dribble three defenders after he has successfully humiliated kaiserslautern goalkeeper, Kahn.
When heynckes told him to cut down on his showboating he decided to instigate a player rebellion against the coach which saw yeboah leaving the club prematurely. that was the same year Frankfurt relegated and jayjay , satisfied of d destruction he has caused subsequently left for Turkey.

if he was so good why couldn't he muster just a single league title medal in 19yrs playing for different clubs in over 4 countries?
d only medal worthwhile was the community shield version in France which be would with psg.
when we talk of African players who have done well in Europe we can mention kanu mikel etoo drogba y.toure oppong weah....
not some person who sees what he is being paid to do as a recreational activity rather than a career

yes if people like diouf and adebayor can also win it too

who carrying 6th don epp?

the same way bosingwa, betrand, danilo sef carry CL

any average ninja can be signed by a top club e.g bebe (man u), djibiti or whatever his name is (chelsea), chamakh (arsenal)

how come your best player that ever liveth could not score a single goal in 9 international senior national team tournaments? how come he could not win a single man of the match award? how come he was such a bench warmer he became an ambassador for woolworths sweaters?


Thats even to empasize how poor Okocha is, If Diouf and Adebayor could win but Okocha cant? Thats to buttress why he is in the class of Lua-lua and Lamptey

6th in the whole world of 6 billion people. Kanu Nwankwo, the highest position ever by a Nigerian

No wonder top clubs are always willing to sign him and the rejected clubs of Europe are the ones looking at Okocha
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by chrisooblog: 3:45pm On Jun 17, 2016
his success with the national team made up for any perceived deficiencies in his club career

which league titles or cups did yekini win in europe before we considered him great?

Essien played for a Chelsea who made CL semi and finals

FInidi played for Ajax CL winner and finalist

When Okocha played for PSG they were a nonentity in Europe, Its like Jeremy Menez in current AC Milan claiming AC Milan of Shevchenko

Or someone who played for Man City in 2003 claiming he played for a top team because City is a top team now

Okocha played for midtable PSG and was a nobody in CL and then relagation Frankfurt, Hull Bolton

this is one of those arguments you can never win. okocha is a joke compared to kanu. an entertainment and a football are two different fields. jay jay at best is a ball juggler. of what use are your skills with the ball if it's destination isn't the back of the net? okocha had skills, could've been the best player nigeria ever produced but he got confused along the line. kanu on the other hand is a world-class player whose only stumbling block was his heart problems which he didn't let stop him from playing. okocha was an iconic figure who was over hyped and most times, failed to get the job done while he was on the pitch. it wasn't until his last years of international football that he tried to become what we've all hoped he'd have ended up as but by then, it was too late. deal with it. okocha is a joke!

which psg is a top European club
page started being a big club wen they were taken over by the Arabians. tell me a worthwhile medal okocha collected in his sojourn in Europe? no league no fa cups .......just the French version of community shield. okocha is a ball juggler at best, he was never supposed to take football as his career.
ronaldinho was credited with a comment dat most of his dribbling skills he got from just looking at okocha. did u know how far the brazillian went in world football? technicality means using ur skill set to achieve a set objective. okochas used his to mesmerized the spectators instead of using to reach the objective of the clubs he played for.
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by chrisooblog: 6:40pm On Jun 17, 2016
Lol kanu world class guy when did you become Trevor Noah? World class player who could not score a single goal in 9 international senior tournaments world class player who was a perpetual bench warmer riding on the back of other people's hard work to be picking cheap winners medal here and there.

Okocha may not have won many club medals but his international achievement speak for itself 1994 AFCON winner 2004 AFCON MVP and top scorer

If there is a product of hype then kanu is your man whose only claim to fame is shining in underage tournaments.

If ronaldinho copied okocha and went on to win ballond'or then I guess you can call jayjay a positive influence

you're a recalcitrant pèasant! where was he when kanu was sodomising brazil at atlanta '96? kanu has more individual laurels than okocha, has seen more professional football too and as played at the top. kanu has a ucl medal, fa cups, was part of the gunners invincibles. but your jay jay was busy helping frankfurt to relegation while kanu was scoring the lone goals in pompey's fa cup win. okocha has skills, but what good are those skills if hull city and bolton are the ones bidding for your services?

Lol!
No one is saying being a striker isn't good but most coaches tends to view blacks as players that are meant for roles like the defence, defensive midfield, forward or wing roles, probably due to their physical strength and pace.
The same reason Mikel was turned into a defensive Midfielder without giving him any trial in the attacking role to see how good he is.
The point is if Iheanacho was a white and had the performance he had at the u17, he would be seen as a no 10 who needs a team to be built around him. However, he was immediately turned into a striker.
Kaka for example was known for his goals than his creativity yet he was constantly deployed in the no 10 role.
As per Bale being converted, he was known for his attacking play than his defensive play as a wingback before Spurs signed him. It was the coach fault for turning him into a LB when he's no one. It's like signing Cuadadro only to deploy him as a RB.


You are contractdicting yourself.

And you are sincerely ignorant! We are talking senior international tournaments you are mentioning Atlanta 96 an underage competition

Same way average players like Wes brown, Philip Neville, bosingwa have also won individual luarels

Won fa cup yet also relegated the same team

Kanu the great striker who could not buy a single goal in 9 international senior tournaments. Kanu the greatest who was chopping bench in bloody westbrom
