Onyi Echegini is Primarily a Midfielder who’s well known in that Position… Go check the analysis of her game done by TFA

She literally won the biggest NCAA awards as a forward. What are we really talking about here?

The Player herself said it in an interview with Eagles Tracker that her Primary Position is the No.10 behind the Strikers but she can play as a no.8 or the Left Flank

She was never a Forward but a Midfielder who can as well play on the Flank…! Because she was moved to the flank by her Coach doesn’t mean she’s a Winger..

Ngozi Okobi does the same, She’s an attacking midfielder but plays as a Winger and a Wingback while at Eskilstuana United in Sweden..

So Jody Brown of FSU/Jamaica who’s a Winger that played most of her last season games in the AM position for FSU is now a Midfielder ahbi??

Or Christy Ucheibe who plays as a Center Back on the Right side for Benfica is now a Defender??

Rita Chikwelu another big example played as a CB for Kristianstand DFF in Sweden and Madrid CFF in Spain for a Period of time did that change her from a Midfielder to a Defender??

Or Selma Bacha who’s a well known Left Back but plays as a winger for Lyon and France in some occasion, will you now call her a Winger?

Or the Dutch Captain Spitse who plays as a CB for Netherland and Ajax Women is now a Defender ahbi??

I don't get the necessity to make this a thing. If a player has had notable success in a position, how can u say that I can't suggest that the player gets played there?

What does that I have to do with the price of tea in China? The fact she played in that position and did great is good enough to back my point.

Even Messi moved to the flank for the best of his Barcelona team when Suarez arrived, so what are we really talking about?

They’re not the first or the last that will do so, Halimatu Ayinde, Victoria Aidelomon, Ebere Okoye played U17 World Cup twice and Ebere Orji played both U17 and U20 together and even played U20 twice.. so why the fume when they’re still within the age bracket..?

One Brazil girl I can’t remember her name now played the U20 World Cup 3 times..

You should have maybe used the word RETURNED to her former Club cause was has been there before about 5years ago or so..

Joy Bokiri 25yrs (Midfielder) was one talents Nigerian had an eye on right from U17 but going forward she didn’t live up to the Billing… She was an excellent free kick taker, Blessed with Powerful Shots too...

She’s one player I know very well that doesn’t stay one place for long.. From Nigeria to Spain down to Greece then to Turkey and then back to Nigeria then moved again to the Swedish top flight before heading to France then Lithuania and now back to Spain.. I no sure say she da spend reach or past 1full season sef for Club..

The good thing is she’s versatile and can play any position in the Midfield.
