Marjoribanks: Seeing as Osimhen is less likely to sign a contract extension, do u see him leaving in January? Cus I doubt Napoli will let him leave for free in the summer |

elunico:he shouldn’t unless Napoli accepts to put a buy out clause of 120m euros which the player and his agent hv been demanding De Laurentiis is a greedy man just like spurs Levy. If osimhen signs without the buy out clause he should be ready to play out majority of his career at Naples because no club will sign him above 100-130m euros |

Kog45: Wing play is very different from the auxiliary striker role. The purpose of every wing play is to provide width, this is different from playing very close to the striker. Providing the required width, and making the ball available to the striker or strikers require skill sets that the secondary striker doesn't even need to be effective. Again the brain's awareness and interpretation of space and position for the winger role and for the secondary striker role are not the same, this means that transiting as a winger to a secondary striker and vice versa may not be as easy as it sounds, and may not be necessary. Players who made the transition from a winger to a secondary striker, may not have been proper wingers in the first place. Asking a player like Samuel Chukwueze to transit to a secondary striker looks funny. Again wingers are saddled with additional defensive duties than secondary strikers, they are required to possess better ball playing abilities such as the abilities to build up and progress plays. So i don't think it is necessary asking wingers like Chidera Ejuke or Moses Simon to adjust to playing very close to the striker, discover a winger and develop him along that line, the same goes for the secondary striker. |

Meliforme:oga no Dey cap abeg Which one is wing play is different from auxiliary striking role? In modern football coaches prefer wingers that can cut in to score as well as provide creativy from the flanks not old schools ones that hugs the touch line just to run and put in crosses Wingers of that pattern are converted to wingbacks/right back in modern day football. Your ejike is a low budget ikedia with very poor decision making and final balls Have you asked yourself why no club in Germany retained him in the league when he would hv joined without a dime spent? Aren’t you worried that he rarely makes Antwerp’s match day squad and hv u bothered to know the reason behind the snub? A player of his experience and exposure in europe who hv played in the Norwagien, German,Dutch and Russian top flight is suppose to be a mainstay/leader in a team like Antwerp 4 Likes 1 Share |

Kog45: The term winger in the traditional sense has become obsolete just like the term Right or Left Back has evolved to become L or R Wing Back. Football ⚽ is evolving and it requires players to have multiple skill sets. Yesterday Curtis Jones played as a Right Wing back against Leicester, for Liverpool FC. Ademola is not just a winger but an inverted one ,or if you like a striker coming from the wings. Salah and Manah exemplify the role perfectly at Liverpool. Where the bulk of goals comes from the both of them in the Liverpool FC team at that time. Nathan Tella also plays the role perfectly as well as Saka Bukayo. At the heart of it is a huge work rate both defensive and offensive, and oustanding end product. One area that baffles me, however, with most of our wing backs and wingers is poor crossing of the ball, Moses Simon, Zaidu and Chukwueze come to mind and end product. 1 Like |

Meliforme: Until he sorts out his problems with his club he is not going anywhere. He is in dispute and not playing. The club will not let him go because they have him locked until 2024. Then his value would have plummeted and he will need a club to rebuild his career. Ovie is quiet and introvert, yet he has become petulant and recalcitrant causing contention with multiple managers. He needs to understand a manager can mess up 😕 your career. It's better to be friends with management than enemies. |

Meliforme:Sir,my point is simple,today’s wingers primary assignments are right,left and second striking roles,any winger limited in these functions will find it difficult making the team,possibly this is what is affecting Ejuke. Sir,go and watch Segun Odegbami clips in the late 70s and early 80s and tell me functions of a winger,even as at then big Sege does it like a modern winger. Try and watch Ahmed Musa against Argentina and Tijani Babangida against South Africa and define what is winger for me. I thought Ejuke can do it as Number 10 Abi no be dis thread again…. |

Kog45: Ejuke brings more passing skills to his game. You can rely on him to help you build up plays. I have seen him switch plays with diagonal long balls to help his teammates out of tight situations. Ejuke contributes more to defense. Ejuke sits on the bench because the Belgian international who starts in his stead is a better player, and better than all the wingers that we have. Decision making, passing, contributions to defense, Michel Balikwisha towers over all that we have on the wings. Ejuke meagre minutes in Antwerp's colours have seen him defending more and this is good for his development. I pray he learns and improves the more. Ademola Lookman is not a better winger than Chidera Ejuke. Lookman is just a better goal scorer and that is even arguable. Play Ademola Lookman on the wings in a team that likes to keep possession of the ball, and he won't do much. He is more of a finisher. |

Meliforme:Please and please... don't ever disrespect our wingers just because you want to push your Ejuke agenda (which is invalid in the first place). If Ejuke can't even make the matchday squad in Belgium league, he has no business in eagles set up. Who TF is Balikis? How is he better than Samu and Lookman? And tell me, which do you prefer between output and keeping possession? At the end of everything, goals and goals are what matter. 3 Likes |
