Re: The Best Nigerian Player In Europe? by tosinadeda: 9:44am On Mar 03, 2008
For now d everton duo of yakubu and yobo are on top form
Re: The Best Nigerian Player In Europe? by JUNIT1(m): 11:05am On Mar 03, 2008
i think yak and yobo too, but i also think uche in getafe is also in contention, he plays his heart out every week for his team.
Re: The Best Nigerian Player In Europe? by smile4kenn(m): 1:48pm On Mar 03, 2008
Feed the Yak and he will score, thats the top sports song right now in England.

The best are Yobo and Yakubu

Re: The Best Nigerian Player In Europe? by JUNIT1(m): 7:36am On Mar 04, 2008
what about osemwinge guys, he is really playing his heart out over there in locomotiv moscow, he deserves somes praise.
Re: The Best Nigerian Player In Europe? by JUNIT1(m): 7:39am On Mar 04, 2008
sorry. i meant odemwinge
Re: The Best Nigerian Player In Europe? by Dovent: 1:46pm On Mar 10, 2008
Kayode Odejayi ( bransley division one team in the premiership) is also a contender. That guy dealt with us. ( Chelsea). He deserves a call up to the olympic squad.
Re: The Best Nigerian Player In Europe? by Nobody: 3:31pm On Mar 10, 2008
The best for now is Mikel.
He plays well for Chelsea and performed well
in Nations cups as well.

I know some people won't agree with that,
but answer this: who scored Nigerian's first
goal in Nations Cup?

@ Danson

Obi might have scored our first goal at the ACN but looking at Europe as a whole i would have to say Yakubu is Nigeria's best player at the mo
Re: The Best Nigerian Player In Europe? by dominique(f): 7:50pm On Mar 10, 2008

Yakubu my foot, that skill-less fatso
It would be better to play without a striker
than to have him on the pitch!
Re: The Best Nigerian Player In Europe? by dblock(m): 10:19am On Mar 12, 2008
Yet he is Everton's top scorer and Nigeria's top Striker

If an eye is what Moyes seeks then the one eyed man finds himself in luck.
If an eye is the solution to his attack, then the team must be in luck.

I guess you watched Everton's match yesterday
and saw the mess he made.

@all
i hereby declare Yakubu's name banned from this trend!

Uche of Getafe
Re: The Best Nigerian Player In Europe? by chuckdee4(m): 3:56pm On Mar 13, 2008
Dason do the maths

Uche
5 goals - 22 games

Yak
18 goals - 30 games

How can u say Uche has been better this season (I''m an Uche fan)

How many goals did the following people scored when
they were awarded world best player?
1. Kaka
2. Ronaldinho


and these people for African best player?
1. Eto
2. Drogba
3. Kanute

Players aren't judge by the numbers of goal they score
but their performances on the field of play.

Beside, is Uche a striker?
Re: The Best Nigerian Player In Europe? by Ibime(m): 4:09pm On Mar 13, 2008
Abeg make una commot - Adebayor is the best Nigerian player in Europe right now. The man is from Ogun State but Naija Under-17 Selectors bounced him from the trials.
Re: The Best Nigerian Player In Europe? by chuckdee4(m): 4:14pm On Mar 13, 2008
Dason, a striker is bought to score goasl, the Yak has done that and thats all that matters

The names u listed may not have scored too much when they were crowned (but i bet they all scored more than 5 goals) but they all went on to win trophies that season and were probably influential in their teams performance.

Make no mistake i like Uche (Who's a striker by the way) but he hasn't done enough all season
Re: The Best Nigerian Player In Europe? by Nobody: 5:09pm On Mar 13, 2008
@chuckdee4
You claim to be a fan of Uche?
when did you know him?
I guess it was when Getafe played Barcelona
and uche dribbled half of their team

To award a player as best the following will
be considered:
1. Numbers of cards collected
2. Numbers of assists
3. Numbers of goals scored
4. Type of league played (if your team don't feature
in C.L forget the award)
5. Participation in Country's league

and the rest which some gurus will post later on
tell me how many as yakubu achieve ?
yet he has more playing experience than uche
Re: The Best Nigerian Player In Europe? by chuckdee4(m): 5:44pm On Mar 13, 2008
Dason, forget experience FIFA/CAF will judge an 18 yr old with d same standards as a 35 yr old when giving out awards.

Last time i saw Uche play was against R.Madrid where he scored the winning goal bout 2-3 wks ago

Both are not in the CL but in th eUEFA cup, i havent seen either play but the fact of the matter is that strikers are bought to score goals, which the Yak has done in abundance, non of them have set Europe alight in the UEFA cup so we gotta use their respective leagues to judge them no matter the opposition they face on a weekly basis.

The Yak doesn't only score, he's used as a battering ram for his team and creates opportunities for his supporting players (I can't believe i'm singing the Yak's praises) but its quite obvious the Yak has been more consistent than Uche
Re: The Best Nigerian Player In Europe? by dominique(f): 1:47pm On Mar 19, 2008
I agree with chuckdee, yak has been consistent all season.though there is always a love/hate relationship for yakubu, you have to admit that he has done well for everton, sunday's loss was just one of those things, can happen to anybody (ask arsenal fans).
Re: The Best Nigerian Player In Europe? by topkin(m): 11:56pm On Mar 19, 2008
I'll go for Yakibu but I prefer Kanu. He has been somewhat outstanding
