This double standard is what gets me all the time.

Victor Osimhen at wolfsburg didn't get enough opportunities due to illness & injury = "he's not good enough"

Jordan Ibe performs poorly over the years despite many opportunities = "mental health issues".

Very convenient.

Komekn, you go explain tire

joxxy01:
With Alex Iwobi out injured, I think this is Nwakali time to show that he is the best.

Amedino99:
yeah. He is definitely getting an invite.

Nwamazi8:


Not just Nwakali, the Sao Tome game and hopefully any available friendly matches would be our perfect chance to test out new midfielders cause even regulars like Ndidi, Onyeka and Aribo are too injury prone and unreliable these days. I hope whomever the coach is will invite new faces like Onyedika, Eletu, Samson Tijani, Ebenezer Akinsanmiro, Divine Nwachukwu and of course Nwakali. We can afford to test out these new guys in a glorified friendly match against Sao Tome of all teams.

Time to start building some depth in that midfield cause world cup qualifiers will be tough, and we can't leave anything to chance especially with our current unreliable midfield quartet of Ndidi, Onyeka, Aribo and Iwobi.

charlesemeka85:
u forgot to add Onazi,ajagun and ajilore

Nwamazi8:

Your own take on this sub-forum na to dey disparage the opinion of others, not that your contributions are any more intelligent. If Ndidi, Onyeka and Aribo are injured (which is a high possibility given their injury records)

Which other midfield options do we have other than the ones I listed? You have the floor to name your perfect list.

Philosopher1979:


To be honest with you even when they are available they are mediocre. Only Ndidi and iwobi is really above average.
onyeka and aribo cannot really win a midfield battle.
Anyway i suggest we should try fisayo dele bashiru in midfield (at least he is getting regular game time in turkey)
Also in the world cup qualifiers and friendlies we should try daniel daga as a dm.
he seems impressive.
Dont listen to people like him who cannot come up with solutions.
Raphael onyedica might be better than this aribo and onyea but people again will not listen.
as per aribo he is better off as a winger in a 4 4 2 formation or as a support strier.
The problem is that Aribo is not really a midfilder. More of a support striker or winger who can play in midfield some times.

TheGoodJoe:


Very funny to saying Kelechi Nwakali believe in hype. That shows how you can be off facts when talking football. Do you know Kelechi Nwakali personally to make such careless remark.

Kelechi Nwakali went to Huesca and then Ponferradina. Does this look like a guy who feels hyped? It shows humility. Tell another lie.

You are trying to turn white to black and red to blue, you are beyond redemption with your misinformation and disinformation.

This is humility in your definition, on arrival at Huesca Nwakali was shipped out on loan (too poor quality) . Yo add insult to injury,they couldn't wait to get rid of him tried to end his contract prematurely illegally. In addition he was the second to lowest paid player at Huesca.

He then goes to an even lower club than Huesca, which was Ponferradina a near bankrupt club. He is so good in the Segunda division nobody wanted him. But according to many here he was the best Midfielder in the Segunda division.

He now goes to an even poorer club for less wages in the name of Chavez FC .This is a club Enyimba will flog comprehensively.

And in your definition this is humility.

You can't change the facts to suit your FALSE narrative.

Nwakali has been poor quality and that's why he is surrounded by very poorly paid and low quality players like himself in Chavez FC

Jordan Ibe dud very well at Liverpool but as soon as he left it went down hill at Bournemouth. But not sure why his name is mentioned. I know him and he has NEVER been interested in playing for Nigeria.

VO. was injured for his entire time at Wolfsburg. Do you know he once played a game for the first team and was sent afterwards back to academy football.

Our own SE Coach said he was not good enough and ready for the SE. So why are you misrepresentating the facts to suit your own self birthed narrative.

komekn:


This is the time to look at a plethora of quality Nigerian Midfielders who are way Better than him.

TheGoodJoe:


You are just jumping in circles. You blatantly lied that Kelechi Nwakali believes in his hype. There is no proof of that if he has repeatedly preferred to go to small clubs to help build himself. He is willing to take low pay, despite even being better than players in his team.

That is humility and not believing in hype.

Also, a player being sent out of a club does not mean poor quality. Chuba Akpom fell down the ladder, it did not mean he was poor quality.

Think of a better lie.

Finito.

TheGoodJoe:


Victor Osimhen being sent out of the team does not mean poor quality. Mourinho sent out De Bruyne from Chelsea, from your false idea, you will say De Bruyne was a poor player at Chelsea.

Think of a better lie.

komekn:


I don't know Nwakali AT ALL , so how can I say I know what he thinks 🤔

He takes LOW PAY because that's all he is being offered LOW PAY for LOW QUALITY PLAYER

He has no choice in the matter . He must accept what he is offered.

Nwamazi8:
Some people here are good at condemning but never offer their own solutions. You say Nwakali is bad blah blah blah, well nobody is saying Nwakali is the second coming of Kevin De Bruyne, but is he technically gifted enough to offer something different in our current Eagles team? Of course he can without a doubt! if you think otherwise then why not give us your own perfect list of "world class" midfielders out there who can offer any better?

I don't think most Nigerian fans realize the enormity of how fuccked we are if Iwobi and maybe Ndidi are out, especially Iwobi...he's the ONLY creative engine we have from that midfield and if we don't start trying out new players now, then it could get worse. That's why we have to stop the deceit and hand call ups to the likes of Eletu, Daga, Bashiru brother's etc

Every National team is improving and getting better now, including the so called minnow teams ( we saw how we struggled against Sierra Leone and Guinea Bissau) with that weak midfield, Ndidi was tossed and bossed around like he was some old man on one leg...that's how bad it is. We can talk about all this plethora of world class strikers we have, but without a solid midfield...we're just a Ferrari from the front and a Keke maruwa from the back.

Danielnino00:


Ibe didn't do any "very well" at Liverpool..he was crap.. one fine showing in preseason gave him an opportunity with the first team, but nothing came out of it... When Sterling left for City, Ibe was heavily tipped to replace him due to their similarity in play... Klopp came in and gave him game time..the type of game time Osimhen didn't get at Wolfsburg...he was crap and was sold off ASAP

chrisooblog:
Honestly the nerve of him! 4 goals in 119 EPL league games is his definition of 'he did well'

Small time he'll be shouting mental health as if Nwakali, Sadiq Umar, Osimhen are robots abi!?
