Tevez is also a China class player

TheSuperNerd:
Your comment reek of bias.... So shove it!

Just look at how you captured the whole thing.

Na wa oooo... So much bias in one post. So because someone is new, he should be allowed to spill "nonsense" right?? He should be allowed to throw shades??

[/b]Have you ever noticed that when a newbie on the thread wanna gain relevance or attention, they either take a hit at me or safarigirl?? Have you noticed that, Mr Fairness??[b]

Pity how you view things thru selected angles... Big pity.

Amazing how some of you walk into this thread claiming peacemakers and fair-mindedness when all you do is subtly stoke the fire.

This thread is about the Super Eagles.... And her bright future. [/b]Not about seeking relevance on a faceless forum.[b]

Rangers played to a 1 all draw in Algeria, all that is needed is to finish the job in Enugu. Good luck to Rivers, IUFC and Wiki's.

Mujtahida:

Cool down you this boy, cool down. Ever heard of psychological projection@ the bolded? Quit your persecution complex. Insults, derogatory remarks whether from a new poster or the denizens of this thread is totally unnecessary. I feel discussions can go on here without all that. People, the human person matters even more than their opinions whether nonsense or not. It's not my style to pick fights for whatever reason online. It gives me no joy. I detest it. Cheers.

guy that's why i like you. you don't hide things bros based on what you pasted what is so exciting about a player who has only 2 assists and a goal to his name in 18 matches?

Guys, let us try and accommodate some of the hateful gestures we get from people who join the forum. Some of them have different views and orientation from others.

Nigerian Teen Wonder With 42 goals In One Year Chukwu Scores For Man City In Trial Game



Little known Nigerian forward Anointed Chukwu enhanced his chances of bagging a deal with Manchester City with a goal in a trial game against Blackpool.


Anointed, 16, has finished as top scorer for every club he’s played for in the last five season, including an incredible 42-goal-haul for his District side in one year.


Spotted during a trial tournament in the United Kingdom, he is reportedly on the watchlist of several Championship teams in England, although he has had his chance with some Premier League teams in the past.


He has had trials with Crystal Palace and Southampton in the past, and according to his mum, Grace Anointed he was quite at their level when he went there two years ago.


Born to a Nigerian Father, he is eligible for both Nigeria and England, but he is yet to be called up by any of the country at any level.

Hehehehe! Play time na. E no easy for an African to play in that position in an European club. That alone is special na.

TheGoodJoe:


Yet, he is not yet World Class. If he continues at this level for a long time, then he is. Until then, no.

chrisooblog:
yes it's too soon to label diego costa world class. has he done for spain? no! has he been consistently good in champions league? no! let him continue with his current form for the next 3-4 years then we can review our discussion. anybody can be a local champion next thing you will say godfrey chitalu is world class because he scored 127 goals in zambian league. RVP justified his world class status by winning something that's the point you are refusing to acknowledge what's the point of being an exceptional player if you can't influence your club or country to win something. sorry did you say hleb was absolute class? please bring up his stats at arsenal that made him so exceptional

i also rate cazorla, carrick is well respected, joe hart was a legend at man city but no one outside their team mates or fans will call them world class. if you see the shot wey taiye taiwo left leg dey tear you sef go fear

komekn:



Kante is already world class he is effectively in a class of his own.

Wingback:




Kante is on some African type steroid shìt...I refuse to believe all that workrate and Running is legal...FIFA needs to probe him, till he spends 2 more years in Europe's Top flight, I am not impressed...A 3.5/5 player at best.

komekn:


In principle this approach is justified. Even by your own unit of measurement you have no definitive standard for world class . You are still subjective, what is long time and or short time.

However, when we are talking about exceptional talent we then find that general parameters become irrelevant.

Neymar had initial potential talent that became substantiated proven exceptional uncommon ability and skill. Longevity did not create it, only confirmed it.

Makalele may have invented initially the defensive midfield position. But Kante is redefining it consistency is already inherent in what he is doing.

Kante is already world class he is effectively in a class of his own.

Diego Costa is not world class? The same Diego Costa who would have been making $1M a week in China? You think shrewd Chinese business men will throw away their money like that on someone who has a big question mark on his class?
Seriously, You must be kidding me. If that's the case then no striker in the Premier league is world class.
Diego Costa belongs to the category A when you talk about world football and merchandise. His image rights is worth millions of dollars.

Zlantan is yet to win a champions league, get out of a group stage of a world cup or European championship for Sweden yet he is highly rated. If we go with your analysis then he is not world class. I hope you see the flaws in your argument already?

Your analogy with the Zambian does not hold water because the Zambian league is not a top league.
If he was turning out for a top 4/5 league, he will dully be recognised.

Hleb was a class act at Arsenal's run to the champions league final in 2006. He built a reputation for himself and inspired a lot of young players with his Style. Hleb defined a whole new meaning to pre assist (assist before the assist). The manner he recycled balls in the final third and his dribbling abilities caused any defence Arsenal faced with an untold grief.
He was top class, except you didn't watch him play.

komekn:
Nwakali playing in lowly rated Norwegian league will not give him the push he needs to get into City.

He would be better off in the championship. That will give him better exposure and leverage to get into the EPL if gets a quality club. My preference for him will be Fulham.

TheGoodJoe:


How can you put Costa and Zlatan in the same post? Zlatan has done it for ages. Costa would celebrate if he has a career like Zlatan.

TheGoodJoe:



If you think Kante is World Class, that is good for you. I have explained it clearly, Kante is just starting his career.

chrisooblog:
my slight adjustment to your line up would be to replace aaron with kelechi. aaron is just recovering plus i'm not convinced he can play the no. 9 role. kelechi for now has the best finishing stats in the super eagles. iwobi therefore gets the AM role unchallenged. i would play moses simon in place of success on the right wing. he played well against cameroon in our friendly against them 2 years back even scoring success plays more from the left side but i think he can also be tried out in the 9 role. i would also play ndidi in place of onazi. overall i also think i would tweak your formation to accommodate etebo his energy and aggressiveness would be invaluable against the cameroonians

goldfish80:

What have Zlatan won that Costa haven't? They both haven't won the world cup and champions league, so?

safarigirl:
looks a great list and a strong squad. You no go analyze defence?

Ehen! How far Solanke and Ibe?

AIG07:
@ Sir. Forgiveness.
Great list above.
But this your love for Ajagun na one kind o. Is/was he your neighbour? I still don't understand y you keep clamouring for him.

As for me, I 'll have to wait till after d series of matches(both friendly n Afcon matches) to be played prior to Aug. WCQs.

Note: we should only be expecting between 3-5new players to come into this team. I don't forsee too much tweaking of the team that has won 3 competitive game in a roll.

tbaba1234:


When it comes to individual honors Zlatan is miles ahead.. It is not even comparable.

Zlatan has won the league everywhere , he has gone apart from Man Utd.

He has won the Fifa club world cup which Costa has not won.
