Arabiandude:

But I thought Amoo was a midfielder, an AM? How come he is now regarded as a winger or an attacker?

Maybe he will end up as a false 9. False 9's play everywhere. Remember firmino, Messi etc

The full backs,yes.. but not the wingers..Aside Simon and Musa, most of our wingers prefer to play as inverted wingers . You can't just ask them to modify their style of play just to give Onuachu a scoring chance thereby reducing their own chance of scoring... If Onuachu must start, let it be with a SS or another CF partner.. The man clearly doesn't appear to function well as a lone striker under Rohr...

He's going to be very useful on set piece. Papa Rohr should just work the team around him especially on second half of the game. He's going to be a game changer for eagles

Since Onauchu is that GOOD. Why isn't TOP European Clubs going after HIM?

W. Ndidi
V. Osimhen


These guys all played for clubs in Belgium and sooner found their footings in TOP European clubs where they're now doing VERY well.

So, until Onauchu finds himself a TOP European club, then all these goals flying around are just loads of Bullsh!t.

It's a gradual process. Right now, he is at belgium league next will be a transition to the big 5 most likely France then if he succeeds there, he will sign for a club in the big 3. (England, Italy or spain) it's a gradual process guy don't trivalize a goal scoring number of 32 goals in 35 because it took 40 years to break

Lesley Ugochukwu is delighted with his performance in Rennes’ 1-1 draw against champions Paris Saint-Germain last weekend, Completesports.com reports.

Ugochukwu, who is the nephew of former OGC Nice and Rennes defender Onyekachi Apam put up a fine performance in the encounter.

The 17-year-old particularly stopped Brazil defender Neymar from making much impact in the game.



The midfielder was thrown into the fray after Steven Nzonzi and Eduardo Camavinga were suspended for the game.


Ugochukwu gave an accomplished display bodying Neymar in one of the key moments of the thrilling encounter.

“It’s a shame there was a penalty [which Neymar scored] before half-time because the team was in good shape. We had a few chances,” he was quoted by Ligue 1.com.

” But it happened and we have to accept it. We remained mobile and it paid off. We had a good reaction in the second half and the game didn’t get away from us. We can be proud of ourselves.”

If Osimhen had scored 32 goals in Belgium I personally would have campaigned for him to start instead of Ighalo at the AFCON.

Let's keep things real here. This man is in a realm that we have never seen a Nigerian in before. What he has been doing is extraordinary.
