What of Dembele and Griezman?

The thing with Barca is, if you are not ready to serve Messi you are on a long thing

He loves them

You can’t be better then Messi so you have to serve him

Messi is Barca

Barca is Messi

We should know this

Remember benzema serve Cr7 for years ?

Now check benzema stats when Cr7 left

That’s why I will always rate suarez as the world best striker ,he outscored Messi at Barca and Cr7 at Madrid and won the European golden shoe ,something nobody could do within 10 years even kun aguero

Former Tottenham defender Alan Hutton has criticized Liverpool-owned winger Sheyi Ojo over his inconsistent performances for Rangers.

Ojo has been involved in 10 goals (5 goals, 5 assists) from 23 appearances across all competitions since his arrival at Rangers in July.

Speaking to Football Insider on Thursday, Hutton who was on the books of the Gers between 2000-2008 enthused that the Nigerian has yet to truly show the qualities which pushed his manager Stephen Gerrard into bringing him to the club.

"One that springs to mind is Ojo. He's been very in and out, he came with big promise", Hutton was quoted as saying.

"I still believe that he's got all the ability. Obviously Gerrard hand-picked him, you know that he's got something and I do believe he's shown flashes of it.

"I think he needs to be more consistent, at teams like Rangers and Celtic you're a bit under the microscope, you can't just have the one or two good games, it needs to be seven or eight good games out of the ten.

''Maybe that's where he's finding a bit difficult. I'd like to see a little bit more, hopefully we can see more."

The 22-year-old who is spending the whole of the 2019/20 season at Rangers has only been afforded 13 first-team appearances at Liverpool since his debut.

He spent time out in loan with Wigan Athletic, Wolves, Fulham and French club Reims before moving to Rangers.

She should have supported the husband than running up and down with another man.

There are tradomedical people who have some mixtures to help alleviate her husband's problems. Some can even turn him into a maniac and addict from there. So you going after the man's wife worsened the situation. It was a chance for her to show her love to him but you spoilt it.

Agreed without reservation or question ❓

Iwobi has been one of the most important Nigerian players in recent games. Criminally underrated.
I'm not disputing his importance because I had more than once described him as one of those Players that have played better in Eagles shirt than they do for clubside.

But he could have done better than he had done if and only if my initial reference was the case and that is the reason for his injury free status for 5 years ascription.

Well, I want to disagree a bit though because the 26 appearance is not a yard stick, instead, it's the 13 starts that should be considered because for the remainder of 13 matches as a substitute, he might just be featured for the last 5-10 minutes and I have serious dislike for such kinds of managers with such mentality of substitution.

When you don't get enough playing time and they want you to perform wonders for few minutes of football. I feel for footballers sometimes

It is all but confirmed that Wilfred Ndidi will make his 100th Premier League appearance when Leicester City face Leon Balogun's Brighton & Hove on Saturday, November 23.

The Foxes number 25 can join an illustrious list of Nigerian players, 13 in total, to reach the milestone if he steps out onto The American Express Community Stadium in East Sussex.

Former Super Eagles stars Shola Ameobi (298), Nwankwo Kanu (273), Yakubu Aiyegbeni (252), John Obi Mikel (249), Joseph Yobo (228), Victor Moses (220) and Victor Anichebe ( 204) have played 200 games or more in the Premier League.

The other Nigerian players with more than 100 appearances in the Premier League are Celestine Babayaro (179), Efan Ekoku (160), Peter Odemwingie (129), Jay Jay Okocha (124), Dickson Etuhu (111) and Alex Iwobi (110).

Leicester City's 2-0 win against Arsenal on November 9 was Ndidi's 99th appearance in the Premier League.

The former Racing Genk midfielder played 17 matches during the 2016-2017 season, had 33 games under his belt the following season and 38 matches last term while he has tasted action 11 times in the 2019-2020 campaign.

Should Ndidi feature against the Seagulls, he will receive a presentation box from the Premier League containing a special medallion and a plaque commemorating his achievement.

Technical Assistant to Super Eagles Head Coach and Head of Scouting, Mr. Tunde Adelakun has disclosed that Nigeria has well over 460 players of Nigerian descent abroad, but it requires skill and tactics to make them switch allegiance, AOIFootball.com reports.


Adelakun, who made clarifications on the progress made in the area of scouting exclusively to AOIFootball.com, said they have made appreciable progress locating Nigerian talents both abroad and locally and recruiting them for the national team.

“We have made appreciable progress in scouting for players. We have a database of over 460 active Nigerians playing in various leagues abroad and the exploits of none of them goes unnoticed every week because we have a network of scouts who give us weekly updates.

“We also rely on our coaches based in Nigeria to look at our domestic league and report on players that might merit a national team call-up. We also now have a huge glut of diaspora Nigerians in various countries that we are tracking and working on.

“Our scouting project has been largely successful over the past three years since we started,” Adelakun said excitedly.

He, however, added that the task hasn’t been easy because going after players of Nigerian descent requires some level of professional courtesy and tactics or everything would go down south.

“It has not been easy. Obviously, talented players born and raised in other countries would be on the radar of their habitat association from youth level. After all, they must have grown up in their system. So, convincing them is a task that has always required tact. We can’t go in all guns blazing and claiming entitlement to them.

“We are not highhanded in our approach but rather rely on our strategies and powers to convince them to come and belong to the Nigerian project that we are building.

“We also show them good examples will be beneficial to us and that will enhance their careers in the long run. We have done well so far, as many of those we have convinced over time have indeed added strength and value to our national team,” Adelakun said further.

Asked about more quality additions like Ebere Eze, especially Chuba Akpom who in September told the press he’s now eligible to play for Nigeria, Adelakun said he and his team would follow the necessary protocol and carry out their investigations.


“We now have four months to work and will continue to search for players who are eligible. We, however, need to be careful and strategic and not just go for any player that is available and declares himself willing and ready.

“We have to be sure he has the skill in the area we need reinforcements. We have many players that we are looking at and we are working assiduously to make the best happen. We have a good track record so far and this encourages more youngsters to want to join this beautiful project,” Adelakun concluded
