Looollll...... I get you okay. Just that Mikel is our midfield linchpin right now.

His replacement?? Truth is there's none truly. What we have are "manageables".

Mikel's true replacements are still young and maturing... The likes of Kelechi Nwakali and Ovie Ejaria, and a few others.


But I get you, the only way to play without Mikel is to play a style and formation that hides his absence.


if we have any assurance that Mikel will play the way he did against Zambia, then I'd be a fool to ask for his replacement. But the only assurance is if he plays for chelsea atleast 3 time to maintain his shape. But if he is sure to play thesame way then certainly he starts for me, you would have noticed that my main issues are Onazi and Echejile, never Mikel. In top form, Mikel is easily our most experienced midfielder and the arguably the best too, but that's if he is in form

Yes Sir, K. Nwakali was loaned by Arsenal to MVV Masstricht in the Dutch Second division and wears the jersey no.10 for them.

You are right.! Those crucify Mikel compulsory inclusion in the super eagles are suffering from ignoranmounuuss smiley

Mikel is a general in that mid field. Whenever he's substituted in a game, the mid field collapses and there's no replacement for him now. The only player that can take his shoe would be Young K. Nwakali. But he need to be groomed up and expose, thank God Mikel will retire at the age of 35. BTW, Has Nwakali been loaned by Arsenal?

Ezenwa is no youth bro. Though he is still young (27) for a goalkeeper.

He was awesome in the invitational tourney and was the MOTM in their match against athletico Madrid. When he was substituted, he had a standing ovation from the athletico fans and management board. I watched it live.

They show you the best of a player. That is what you can get under the best conditions. Not make Park look like Messi.

Just like the clip I posted of Brazil. In those short clips, I picked Valdivia as top quality. When I went to YouTube, I saw he was one of the top scorers in the Copa Libertadores.

     Introducing Nwokolor, Young Nigerian Goalkepper Who Is A Regular For Top European Side Nigeria By owngoaladmin
In an era where African goalkepper find it hard to make hay in European teams, 20 year old Nigerian David Nwokolor is making waves with top division Bosnian side Vitez. The Port Harcourt born shot stopper joined Croatian side HNK Rijeka, three seasons ago from Football Academy of Abuja, after impressing at a youth tournament in Croatia. Same season he joined the team, he rose to the rank of second choice goalkepper before heading out on loan to second division league side NK Sibenik last season , where he made 15 appearance for the team that narrowly missed out on promotion to the top flight. He returned back to Rijeka this summer, but was loaned out to Bosnian side Vitez where he has successfully displaced the first choice goalkepper and has now kept goal in their last five games. Nwokolor has three clean sheets in the five games he has been between the sticks for 9th placed Vitez, after 11 league games in Bosnia. Presently he is the only Nigerian born goalkeeper within the age of 20 based in Europe who is a regular for a top flight team, with only Vincent Enyeama and Carl Ikeme ahead of him in terms of experience in top flight games among active Nigerian goalkeppers presently in Europe.      By owngoaladmin

FIT AGAIN ISACC SUCCESS SET FOR FIRST
START FOR WATFORD




Watford record buy Isacc Success has recovered from the injury that forced him out of Nigeria World Cup 2018 qualifiers against Zambia, according to manager Walter Mazzarri.


He squashed reports in the media which suggest that the former Nigeria youth international deliberately skipped the game against Zambia, clearly stating that Success was genuinely injured.


“We have a very good relationship with the
Nigerian national team. Also the proof is immediately after the game we sent the email to
them and also spoke to them over the phone
confirming that Success had an injury. They
replied confirming that he was excused by their
technical director, so we don’t have any problem with the NFF” He said.


The manager revealed that the 20 year old, could be handed his first start since joining Watford from Granada when they take on Middlesbrough this weekend.


“I think he is adapting very well to English
football. Every time when he has come, including Burnley where the whole team played very badly, he has been one of the best. Of course since he hasn’t trained a lot lately because of his injuries we need to understand if he has the 90 minutes in his legs.


“I am reflecting on it [whether he starts],
evaluating all the different options and it is
something I will decide at the last minute.”

If Pinnick succeeds in bringing that boy home, then it could be one good thing, just one good thing he ever did for Nigerian football. I read that Tammy's father is Pinnick's bosom friend. They grew up together in Warri just like iwobi and akpom grew up together at Hale End Academy. They are more like brothers from different parents and Pinnick said Tammy is like a son to him. He said Tammy is secured already that when we are ready(not when Tammy is ready), his papers wll be processed.

I wanna see him battle for a starting shirt with Osimhen next year. The era of misfiring strikers(I no call names o) is coming to an abrupt end.

Players that might debut for Eagles next year include ; Musa Yahaya, Ovie Ejaria, Chidozie Awaziem, Victor Osimhen, Orji Okonkwo, the Nwakali brothers and of course Tammy Abraham.

Awua of intermilan, Nuru of Roma, Olumola of SOTON, forgiveness' Tyrone of Denhag are also waxing strong. IMO
