Sir, please, I don't want to appear offensive but we Africans have to do better when we make arguments.

Nwakali is not average and I will explain. The boy won MVP at the U17 and with his amazing football gifts all he could get as an African was a loan deal from Arsenal who signed him. In his first season with a club in Holland he was terrific and later he was loaned out to another club where he met misfortune and suffered almost a season with a club football. So , when people make statements like the one you made let's tell the whole story.

As for Iwobi, being English puts him ahead of Nwakali whether the later is more talented or not. Iwobi was promoted to Arsenal first team from the academy....may I remind you Nwakali never got anything close to that. Iwobi kept fumbling but nonetheless he still got a club to field him.....thats the privilege African players never enjoy. With all your talent you will always be a second option or third.

If it wasn't for the injuries that Brendan Rogers favourite boys suffered he would not might to keep Iheanacho on the bench and frustrate him out.

Again , we Africans have to do better because we have brains. So, lets argue like smart people. Lets stop being unnecessarily emotional and narrow minded.

So Nwakali that is currently at Alcorcon is better than Iwobi? A 2015 mvp/performance is what you are judging in 2021.

But you would think this would be a common knowledge to some of us. Look at Raheem Sterling with all the nonsense he is playing but Pep dare not bench him or the English press will destroy him. If Raheem was African Pep would probably spit on him and nothing will happen.

A few moments ago you labelled iwobi as English just to make a point that it was the reason he was getting game time at Everton, now you are labelling Sterling as English forgetting the fact that he was born outside of the UK just like Iwobi. I just de look una

What medicine is this fool talking about? Just cooking up imaginary Nonsense in his head to sound tough when infact you are just a pathetic piece of emptiness. A Bunch of Zeroes and that's all.

Kid, you are pathetic. No relevance in real life whatsoever so you seek it here. Your only true food in here is using my moniker to feel important. What a joke.

Well, I don't blame you. Even a maggot can form butterfly behind the screens. So I don't blame you at all.

Just imagine this jobless joker. I come online and what do I see? I see mentions of my moniker (direct or indirect) by your sorry horrendous self slandering nonsense while I am offline making people's lives better and bagging the money that I use to put smiles on people's faces.
But what do you do? You just come online to rant emptiness.

Boy, you need to heal because by your words, I can tell you are just full of Sh*t and hate for your own life that you dislike anything that has to do with TheSupernerd. Kid, don't die in your envy. I know I irritate the heck out of you. Just try rise and be better. Ciao.

U r only focusing on goals alone,
Look at the legends of the game u were comparing Haaland with,Zidan,Ronaldo 9,
at least we've seen what Ronaldo 9 did with his goals at Haaland's age,and what Zidan has achieved.
What has Haaland achieved with his many goals.
No one is saying he can't achieve but 4 now stop mentioning those legends with him until he does what those greats did with their goals.

I doubt Rashidi ever scored 33 goals in a single season,but I cannot start comparing Onuachu to Rashidi just because he outscored Rashidi in a single season. He need to do it consistently for years

Everybody has where he excels, Haaland is a prolific goalscorer and he does a damn good job at it, Are you expecting him to win a Champions league at Dortmund? When he inevitably goes to a big club the trophies will come and the ballon d'or shouts will start,mind you I'm not comparing him to those legends, I'm just saying that at 20 he has broken records they held at their prime or never managed to reach, If Lewandowski can win Ballon d'or Haaland can too

Stop being DELUSIONAL. in order to win the world cup, you need like 5 World class players. A world class Defender, Midfielder, Attacker, Winger and Striker. Right now, our best bet is R16, QF. It is imperative for our boys to sign for the best clubs in the world to even have a chance of playing QF. For now, let's be humble and Qualify first


In one year time, this narrative will definitely change. Osimhen's transfer is massive, which means he's a top player. Plays for a traditional team like Napoli and you think it's nothing to brag about? With the ways things are going, he's worth more than Sancho (from rumours). Wilf is top class, chukwueze isnot far from it (attracted Liverpool and arsenal last time). Aribo is close, so is etebo (very inconsistent but useful), S. Kalu is decent in the national colours.

honestly it's exasperating some times. using a player still finding his feet in football to make fun of an already established SE player.

Can Iwobi do better in club football? Absolutely! but downgrading a solid SE performer for someone whose's call to fame is his u17 exploits is simply unfair. Correct me if I'm wrong but no other midfielder apart from his uncle Jayjay has scored or assisted as much as Iwobi in the last 20 years.

Yes, we do. A team that parades Osimhen , Kelechi , Onyekuru , Nwakali, Ebuehi , Chukwueze ,Akpoguma, Awaziem, Balogun, Nwakali etc should play as contenders. But thats where the tactician comes in.

Onyekuru, Nwakali, Ebuehi,Akpoguma,Awaziem,Balogun, Nwakali, are not talented enough. Infact, they are average at best! They need to prove otherwise

Kelechi, Osimhen, Ndidi, Chukwueze and Zaidu are doing exceptionally okay .

See I like Osimhen but Haaland is going to be in the Ronaldo, Messi conversation in the next couple of years and Osimhen is not that level

Haaland is very good too but I prefer Osimhen.

Exactly, of course he can do better at club level but his performances in the SE have been great going by his stats for the eagles so the basis of comparing him to Nwakali is not relevant

Laporte's switch from France to Spain has been ratified by FIFA in less than two weeks but in our case with a lot of players we are still hearing of issues with passports and other excuses in over a year. I know covid affected a lot of things but I believe at the moment something else is holding their switch.

The problem we are having now in Nigeria and west Africa as far as football is concerned is pinnick...dude see his post in NFF, FIFA AND CAF as a tool to promote his political interest and not the course of our football and west Africa football interest.

Heard him saying the other day that Nigeria super falcons will beat Ghana to qualify for the AWCON I shook my head...were both teams suppose to play each other at this phase of qualification in the first place ?

That man don't understand what managing football for the interest of Nigerians entails
