Nwakali is a CM not an AM

Nwakali in my assessement is a midfielder with attacking qualities and when you combine the two factors you get an attacking midfielder. He possess every single quality of an attacking midfielder and has played there. He actually started as an AM. At his previous club he played as an attacking midfielder. Not saying he cant play CM but thats limiting his abilities. He plays a bit like Ozil with more but more conservative.

With the avalanche of attacking options at our disposal in the Eagles, I think the coaching crew should now galvanize efforts to bring in players with special qualities( free-kicks, bending corner-kicks, headers) in central midfield and in the defence.

I so much agree with this post, that I always pray Nwakali makes it and we also bag Eze. It is a shame we don't have a single free kick specialist

I am not talking just players here. How many attacking midfielders do we parade today then compare that to all the Ndidi , Zuby , Aribo , Agu , Azeeze , Etebo etc. The only natural attacking midfielder we currently have now is Nwakali. Eberechi is still English and will play for them firstly.

Ok you mean attacking midfielders

A real shame..

Having a set piece specialist would have saved us from some very tight spots..

I keep wondering if we were the ones that got that last minute free kick against Algeria at the AFCON, would we have scored? grin

Adeboroye got promoted to the EPL with West Bromwich and I heard he has agreed to play for Nigeria. I am not saying he should not be called oooo.

Don't forget he is warming bench in one of the biggest clubs in Europe. Something Osimhen will exchange for playing time in Napoli.

Victor Moses is not a team player but we saw how he singlehandedly helped us to win the African cup of Nations. Chuks is good but we saw how he was marked out in the cup of Nations against Algeria. That can never happen with Vicmo.



The reason behind these conclusion cant be substantiated. For now , keep Adehoroye out of the discussion because he isnt a Nigerian. Meanwhile , according to you Osimhen will rather sit on the bench than actually play for a decent club...you dont start again eeh grin

Additionally , VicMo didnt win nations cup for us....was he even the highest goals scorer. Emenike comes to mind. As for Chuks , that your microscopic shade isnt enough. He was explosive for a green horn at the nations cup. Nigga , chill, biko

You get it now, dont you. Nwakali has magic in his leg....he is more skillful and talented that the gods of borough boys sef. You see how my boy make those free kicks and voleys look like Okocha cant play

Yes , brother. No attacking midfielder we can count on until N. Nwakali gets in form.

I said I want him to succeed and I want Eze bagged too, because those two know how to put the ball in the net from set pieces and they are good over all. I am not comparing who is better and who is not.

Kalu looks like a decent free kick taker to me..

I mean,at the AFCON, against Tunisia he came in with a few minutes to go and hit two free kicks on target..
Simon too used to take free kicks at Gent and has scored once for us against Swaziland...
But really,these guys ought to put more effort into it.. they can hire personal trainers to help them with it alongside other basic skills like crossing the ball and delivering accurate through balls and passes..

Well , I am comparing who is better. But I never compared Eze to Nwakali because its offensive.

Bros, we know why they retired na. They were criticized unnecessarily.

Musa don they expire for my eyes except he moves to a better league.

Chai how many times we wan get this argument for this thread, Being criticised unnecessarily is part of the game and Ighalo/Victor Moses are far from being above criticism by fans. If that's the reason they retired they should stay that way

As for Musa, I'm only in support of his inclusion in our squad because of his experience in the world stage that cannot be overstated. I don't know the switch that turns on in his head during the World cup

Eze plays like a high school kid. Sometimes a single deft touch does more damage than dribbling like a headless chicken. He needs to develop a level up. Nwakali was born to do magic with his feet.

@ bolded.. I don't know why that so hard for some people to understand..
There's hardly any professional footballer active or retired that didn't get any kind of criticism throughout his career..

Its a normal thing...

Neither of the two wouldda been able to score from that angle. Only Iheanacho probably would have given it a shot

Next season is just a week or two ahead, good thing, the eagles won't be convocating till January. Enough time to assess all these players in top tiers

Most people only make noise on social media,but that so shit in real life..

Ighalo was in Nigeria after that world cup, how many people went to attack him at his house and carry out their threats?
I'm sure he visited Ajegunle during that period too... Did the stone him?

Yakubu that received a lot of death threats after his world cup miss, has he been killed ??

Nigerians have mad love for football and can lose their cool when results go against their teams...it's normal...

He is quite good at long range shots..
