Ahead of Oliseh, Yekini, Amokachi, Ikpeba, etc?

Absolutely take it from someone that's been watching SE since the 1990's. Osimehn might even break yekini SE record but let's be humble. As for Ndidi, the stats that ndidi I no fit shout....

andrewbaba44:
You are a confused human being

Osimhen best striker but Na you still criticize am pass

How can you say osimhen will start in any super eagles squad

You be indomie generation no mean say make you no sabi some things

We should seek clarity and confirmation before speaking. I have never said that he is a bad or terrible player and I have never advocated for osimehn to be dropped. My stance is simple, he hasn't justified that 70 mil but does that mean that he is a bad player? NO. Like I said, I have been watching SE since the 1990's and like I said Osimehn, and ndidi, will make Nigeria 11 from the 1990's until today. Take it to the bank

Napoleon55:
And if Leicester qualifies 4 champions league and Juventus didn't ?

Even if that's the case, I will still say juventus. Form is temporary class is permanent. They will still rise

Truidstar:
You can't even grasp the context....stop living in the past. Right now Ghana has a shit squad, (your main star Thomas Partey went to a club where careers die). Black Stars as of the here and now is not even fit to lace Super Eagles boots.

A team that a player that has scored 19 goals in Seria A cannot make its bench lol don't even discuss with him

Napoleon55:
None of these players will start in our first golden generation,'90s to early 2000.
Ndidi cannot start ahead of Olise based on their national team performances .
1.RUFAI / IKE.
2.EGUAVOEN
3.BABAYARO / IROHA
4.OLISE.
5.OKECHUKWU
6. TARIBO / KESHI
7.FINIDI / BABANGIDA
8. KANU / SIASIA / AMOKACHI
9.RASHIDI / IKPEBA
10. OKOCHA / ORUMA
11.AMUNEKE ,LAWAL.
None of d new guys can start ahead of these great players.

Then after that,
The set that comes after the golden generation ,they still cannot start except Ndidi, and perhaps Chukwueze n Osinhem ,still debatable .

Set after golden generation :
1.ENYEAMA / EJIDE.
2.ORDIA
3.BABAYARO / UDEZE / TAIWO.
4.OLAFINJANA
5.YOBO
6.SHITTU
7.UTAKA
8.AYEGBENI / OGBUKE
9.MARTINS / UCHE
10.MIKEL,OBODO,KALU.
11.OSAZE

Yes on club side,some of our present attackers have performed very well have ,but they r still not yet better than those that came before them,and cannot b rated ahead them.

Ndidi, osimehn, Guaranteed starter in any of super eagles squad since the 1990's

You are the one deluded! Facts don’t lie,huh? Go and check the number of times Ghana has walloped your asses

Did we beat you guys
3 - 0 2001
1-0 2002
1- 0 2004
1 - 0 2006

Yes or No?

All we're saying give us Ghana all we're saying give us Blackstars, All we're saying give us Goldcoast, All we're saying, give us Midgets

PetroDolla2020:
It’s obvious you are a novice in football. Na today? We’ve been hearing Nigeria’s abundant talents since Lord Lugard’s time. If you know football, as you claim, you should know that football is not played with stars. Most talented and lethal? And what have they won? Or what have they achieved?

I don’t give a fvck if Ghana has stars or don’t have stars, when they wear that jersey to play for Ghana, they play to win. I have see matches involving Ghana and Nigerua in the past, where Nigerians had come out boasting before the game about how Nigeria had a super squad and Ghana had a sh1t squad, and on almost on every single occasion, I have seen the Black Stars wallop the Super Eagles.

It happened with Segun Odegbami, Muda Lawal squad. It happened with Yekini, and co. Finidi. It happened with Kanu Nwankwo/Okocha etc

Football is played on the field, not with mouth. Don’t you guys get tired of boasting only to be smacked by Ghana? The only thing Nigerians do is boast boast boast. Go and look at the number of times Ghana and Nigeria have played. Nigeria is no match for Ghana. Get that into your head!

I guess you were dreaming when we beat you guys 3-0 at porthacourt to qualify for 2002 world cup? Then beat you guys again 1-0 at 2002 ANC, beat you midgets again 1-0 at LG cup 2004 then beat you midgets again 1-0 at 2006 ANC. 4 times consecutively beat midgets in the early 2000's until your Golden generation of essien, Muntari, Appiah came along and yes, I will give it to midgets yall had us in the late 2000's but now SE golden generation is gradually coming along and if midgets believe they're good enough, schedule another friendly na. Why aren't you guys trying to accept our friendly invitation?

kendrick93:
The 2004 squad was better with proven African stars.
We had players like Okocha, Garba Lawal, ikedia.
Osaze, yakubu, Kanu, Utaka, Taiwo, Taribo, Aghali etc

The same 2004 team that was embarrassed 3-0 at their home turf a year earlier vs Brazil? You must be an illiterate Dullard that cannot comprehend English. The 2004 team didn't have the luxury of dropping a player that scored 19 league goals in the big 3. Never! Even my boy obagoal didn't score 19 league goals

PetroDolla2020:
You are funny. You think Nigeria can beat Ghana? “Our present squad and their failing squad?”

I don’t know how and why Nigerians think they have a better than Ghana. Na real wa.

You obviously don’t know much about football and the history between the two teams. Forget, about whatever team you nigerians think you have, Ghana will beat Nigeria any day. This is a fact!

I have been watching Nigeria football and since the 1990's, this is the most talented and lethal squad SE has produced since the 1990's. A team that has a player scoring 19 League goals in one of the Big 3 (not farmers or backwater league) that cannot make its Bench. Simy will walk in Ghana present 11 like people don't know that what SE is experiencing now is a generational Talent and although I don't know how long it will last but if we cannot defeat those Midgets now with this generational talent, then I don't know. We have to schedule a friendly against Ghana or let's meet them in the final round of the WC

2lola:
But Musa is Experience and still 28 years and is our highest Scoring World Cup player.
even Ejuke has not done 1\10 of what Musa has done in Russia

Simply because he has been atrocious for super eagles since his last game vs Iceland at the world cup. 2 years of bad performances is enough but who knows, AM got that world cup on lock

MetalJigsaw:
Oga be careful of what you wish for. Nigeria is a top team in Africa no doubt about that but don't be so overconfident. You know the kind coach wey we get na: A grade C type.

Our performances under Rohr have still not reflected to the golden generation tag.

Fam Idc that much about the world cup due to politics, biased and unfavortism that African team face and I know that for those reasons, likely, an African team will not even reach semi final so what's the tussle? But, if Nigeria cannot beat ghana with this our present squad and their failing squad, then do we deserve to attend the world cup??

maidaboi:
None

None ke? Atleast 5 listed here are likely to occur.

smartsmith0907:
Ejuke is not forgotten ohhhh he is a member of the squad...he was left out in the game but Russia were just resuming their league.

I will even take ejuke over an out of form and kano pillars musa

Pep guardiola why una dey call am fraud? To me he is one of the Goat alongside SAF, Mourinho wenger

mostob:
So, it is not about playing farmer's league again.. it is now experience.

Farmers league is irrelevant to proven Experienced players because they have shown previous Competency. These place is filled with Idiots walahi. It's like people just look for reasons to have an argument with after explaining yourself multiple times

There's no need arguing let's just wait until November when SE will be grouped with one of the big boys. Let's see if our inexperienced boys choke or hang or even restrict airflow

ChrisKels:
OK baboon run along, I'm discussing Nigerian soccer with men, when it is time for baboons I will show you the way to the zoo to meet your fellow baboons and other zoo animals

Hahaha

ChrisKels:
Lol funny kid, it is late already, you need to go to sleep, you have classes tomorrow

Clearly It was an error I was mistaken Watford for Grenada. Anyway it is still my fault for the mistake so I am the baboon in this situation

Napoleon55:
In other words,
u would choose Ighalo of today over Osinhem of today ?

Saying ighalo should come back isn't requesting for him to start but should be available for selection. You cannot buy experience my dear and going by history, Nigerians will request for osimehn omission when he becomes experienced

ChrisKels:
Which experience Ighalo wan bring come? Is Ighalo more experienced than Acho? I wonder what our strikers need to learn from Ighalo whose prodigality in front of goal is well documented

The experience that helped Nigeria to Qualify for world cup and was the top scorer at the last nation's cup. You cannot buy experience my friend

Arabiandude:
Ighalo first season with Watford was in the championship and he scored 20 goals. Sadiq in his first season with Almeria has scored 16 goals already with more assists.

Ighalo first season in Laliga 2 where Sadiq is playing now was with Grenada and he scored just 4 goals.

Ighalo has only had 2 good seasons in his professional career playing in the whole of euro why Sadiq has had 4 good seasons already, also playing in the same Europe

You see why I call you a Mumu? Ighalo first season at Grenada, he qualified them from segunda to LA liga and became a legend let Sadiq qualify Almeria to la liga before we have that discussion. Like what sort of analyst are here comparing a small boy like Sadiq to Ighalo. Omo let me bite my tongue before some small boy get me offended

forgiveness:
Yeah! But his stats wasn’t like that of Sadiq though Ighalo remains a legend in that club.

Nigerians are obsessed with being labeled "the youngest team at a world cup" they have been the youngest team at every world cup since 2002. The Sadiq, simy, moffi that people are campaigning for will be experienced in 4 years and Nigerians will start request for another new set of inexperienced players. I remember how foolish and dumb SE dropped oliseh, finidi, babangida, agali, ikeba, oruma all because they lost to a World class Senegal team in 2002. History always repeat itself

forgiveness:
Did you say at Ighalo’s best he is not better than the aforementioned players?

Ask yourself again after answering the question, is a second Division player better than an Epl player?

Have the aforementioned players scored 15 goals in arguably the best league in the world(epl ofcourse)?

The level that Sadiq is now is the level ighalo was 8 years ago at Grenada. Nigerians will ask for inexperienced Sadiq now and request to drop him 4 years later when he becomes Experienced.

The problem is that Nigerians like to dismiss their experienced players prematurely and after they have amassed multitude of experience for inexperienced players. By the time the new inexperienced players become experienced, they will request for another set of inexperienced players instead continuity, consistency. If I was a coach that has 2 options, talented youth or Proven Experienced, I will go for the latter because they have already shown capability of attaining what I am searching for at this time

mostob:
Oh..I thought both will be playing as forwards.

Iheanacho best quality is his Finishing meaning that you cannot place him as a 10, he needs to be upfront scoring.

Napoleon55:
CHUKWUEZE vs IHEANCHO vs OSINHEM goal,which is one is best?

Iheanacho of course reminiscent of martins vs Newcastle

The problem with Nigerians is that they like to dismiss their experienced players prematurely and salivate at younger prospect by the time their younger prospect becomes Experienced, they will request for another younger prospect and the cycle continues

Kog45:
Pls include Samson Siasia...go and watch Siasia goal against Argentina(US 94)his goal against Senegal(Senegal 92)his goal against South Africa and world class assist to Rashidi Yekini against South Africa(94 WC qualify match).

Samson Siasia was highly underrated cos I will pick him over Kanu anytime any day when we talk of Super eagles most intelligent player.

Those who watched Siasia between 1985 to 1994 would understand my point.

Samson siasia ahead of Kanu? When I voice my mind now people will start calling me names. How can a Nigerian fan make such asanine statements? Please if you didn't watch kanu at his prime go to YouTube and view some kayvaldo clips regarding kanu

fabyom:
Chelsea, Arsenal, and United in for Nacho!

Arsenal, Everton, and Westham in for Chukweze.

Omo if that's true, let him go to a club that has chances of winning silverware yearly

2 of Nigeria most intelligent strikers iheanacho and kanu from Owerri. Nna eh kedu soap ndi owerri na eme? Omo e mi ni omo lagos sha
