[quote author=yaqq post=53614694]Okocha very unfortunate not to play for a big club............ I keep wondering why he wouldn't sign for big teams the way kanu did. I don't even know if he had won any reasonable trophy club wise. Skilled okocha.........[/ quote]
He wanted freedom, he didnt want to play football in restricted kind of way, thats why he went to a club that could have allowed him to

It showed you never watched Kanu in his prime helping his teams win major trophies in Europe. Kanu shared dressing rooms wit some of football's great, who did okocha share dressing rooms with? Kevin Nolan and mendy. Kanu was pivotal In Pompey's FA cup triumph, under 17 1993 and Olympic 1996. Okocha is over hyped jor.

Are you joking?

Ever heard of Henry, Vieira, Bergkamp, Hazard, Bale, Drogba, van Persie and many other non-English players that made more impact in EPL?

We're talking of individual achievements in EPL. Jayjay is the only Nigerian player to ever get nominated for PFA Player of the Season in EPL. He also won Player of the Month award. Kanu never did.

Yeah, who remembers when he dribbled some players including the Goalkeeper, he had a chance to score into the free net but he turned back and dribbled the keeper again before scoring.

His coach later said jokingly, that Oliphant would have been sacked if he didn't score.

Ronaldinho and Okocha were the best in showcasing their skills then.

He didn't dribble the keeper twice oh undecided

It's not just about winning trophies. Mikel even won more with Chelsea including Champions League but what were his contributions to those trophy haul when you place him side-by-side with fellow Africans like Drogba and Essien or the likes of Lampard, Terry etc. Same issue with Kanu. The likes of Henry, Pires, Bergkamp and Vieira had much more influence in landing those trophies. Infact Kanu became a player that came off the bench for few minutes to go, in most of those Arsenal glory days like the invincibles 2003-2004. He had only 44 goals in 197 appearances for Arsenal. How's that a world-class achievement for someone used as a striker? I put it to you that though Kanu is a better overall footballer, but as far as the EPL goes, Aiyegbeni is a better rated striker than Kanu.
