Ejuke is good, but is far from the finished product. Same with Chukwueze.

Both players very strong in their dribbling, but extremely basic in other aspects.

There are better candidates for both wings.

My friend shut up your dirty mouth. Which Nigerian winger is presently a finished product? When you have cerebral dribblers like ejuke and Chukwueze, you should utilize and maximize their talent to your benefit because players like that are special on their day. With the likes of chukwueze and ejuke, you don't really need a 10 just solidify your midfield with energetic players and playmake from the wing

That still wouldn't have happened, considering the huge investment Napoli made on him, his transfer fees would have collected almost all the money Inter made from the sale of Lukaku.

To me, the best winger for Nigeria now is Onyekuru. That guy is very smart,and skilled,he can hold his own against any defender even with his small stature. But many will fail to see this.

Agreed. All of the wingers in Olympiacos are really old, so I believe he will have little competition.

Also based on his showing over the week, his sharpness is still there.

He needs a strong Europa League though, just like Iheanacho, to convince Rohr.

Moses Simon on the left Ejuke can be an impact sub

I think since Moses Simon is adept with both foot and has great crossing ability, he should play on the right.

Ejuke would have been a strong candidate for the right, but in games where he has been tested there, he was awful for CSKA.

He is a different player, when not cutting in.

Rohr made sure Onyekuru was never celebrated in Nigeria by ignoring him while my boy was flying higher than eagle. Rohr is a curse!

I remember i started this arguments early thus year here before i disappeared fora while. I aee no reason using Simon Moses ahead of Henry or Ejuke just because you want to defend. Why nor just pack defenders fel field. Even Bonfre Jo has noticed this, tht our coach uses the wrong players alot. Thats why we struggle despite our depth.

Ejuke/Henry and Chukwueze, will easily wreck havoc to any defence, but your coach prefer sluggish Simon.

Nah. Even Onyekuru himself disagrees with this your accusation.

"I went back to Belgium to play but the coach of Nigeria had to call Anderlecht to ask them to allow me to play even 15 minutes so they could confirm I was OK to play.

"They [Anderlecht] were angry at that [going back to Everton and not having surgery] and also the fact my contract gave me the right to decide if I stayed.

"The new president was mad and was saying ‘who sorted this contract?’ They wanted me to stay one more year but I said no because of what they did stopping me going to the World Cup."


So Rohr was eager to have Onyekuru at the World Cup but Anderlecht refused to confirm he was fit. Rohr couldn't risk bloating his squad with an injured player.

I understand many of us here, including me, don't rate the gaffer, but there's no reason vilifying him unjustly.

That's because he want to the wrong club. Simon picks his clubs wisely, henry doesn't.

At least lets see how it goes now.

Nah, mate, that's a very wild deduction for quality.

Henry didn't cut it at Monaco, doesn't mean Henry didn't cut it in Ligue 1.
Depay didn't cut it at United, doesn't mean Depay didn't cut it in EPL.
Salah didn't cut it at Chelsea, doesn't mean Salah didn't cut it in EPL.

Nantes is not Monaco.

You have not noticed his passing, only Iwobi is slightly better than him amid our forwards.
But when it comes to long balls, Ejuke is the best amid our forwards.

Dude can’t cut it in a bad team like Monaco

At this age still bouncing around ( it’s not easy to be fair)

But the guy is not a super star or the next coming of a great dribbler he’s just average at best l. And he’s not proven on top leagues.

Etebo is such a talented player full of energy that has been constantly misused. The boy is a forward player not a ffucking DM! He will never excel in that DM position....take this from someone that knows Karo from his early days with Warri Wolves.
