He won't say that if he sees the road that leads to KANU's dilapidated miserly bungalow at Amannagwu in Arochukwu.

KANU Nwankwor can only boast of a defunct Heart Foundation while his counterpart in Liberia will officially be the President of a country after December 26th.

KANU was a fortunate player whose greatness would have been forever unrivalled if only he died of that heart disease at the peak of his fame in 1996.

That's a big fat lie.

Kanu could never have displaced Bergkamp and we all know this.

Kanu was good but the Arenal way required a lot of pace something he didn't really have in his locker.

Give Wenger is credit for giving Kanu a second chance.
is that an indomie generation boy contradicting? Well for your info, Kanu has no issue with Bergkamp. His rival was the new wonder boy Henry who was a point 9 as Kanu..... Did you ever wondered why Kanu was benched in the match against liverpool and Henry the new boy played for 90mins? Oh you may not be born then.

Kanu won more trophies.

Sorry. It's George. George Weah.

He is not a Judge. I don't know why you want to force him to be a Judge.

Kekx:
KANU can never be the best African player,

Where are the likes of Judge Weah, Eto,

What of Mikel Obi ....Oh sorry!!,
grin

In terms of Trophies, He isn't topping in Africa...ETO is topping!
In terms of Ballin, He isn't topping... OKOCHA is topping!
In terms of resting on bench, He isn't topping,. MIKEL is topping!
In terms of personal awards, He isn't topping.... ETO and JUDGE WEAH are topping!

He was just opportune to play for almighty Ajax then and fvcked up by playing for one old man Arsene wenger who has refused to give Arsenal fans back their soccer joy.

Why and how is he the best player in Africa?

Kanu was a better footballer than Okocha. The disgrace Okocha gave Oliver Kahn was replicated by Kanu in Arsenal Jersey. I watched a compilation of Kanu's moments and goals on YouTube and I can confidently say that Okocha does not come that close.

As for Kanu being the best African player, that is clearly debatable

There are great players like Weah and Eto who should never be so dismissed. In his prime, Weah was simply incredible.

Get off it.

Kanu never played 9 in all his career.

He was at best a support striker.

At Ajax the nine was Kluivert.

At inter the 9 was Ronaldo Nazario Luis de Lima.

At Arsenal it was Anelka at the beginning then came a Thierry Henry who did better than even Wrighty.

Kanu was in competition with Wiltord and Bergkamp.

Now who is the Indomie generation kid?

So Mikel Obi is now greater than Kanu?

You people should fear the Living God na.

By the way, Casillas and Lampard left Madrid and Chelsea respectively in an unceremonious way...so what's your point?

UbanmeUdie:

Thierry Henry is a big time coward!


Who is Nwankwor Kanu compared to Samuel Eto?
Who is Nwankwor Kanu compared to the irresponsible boy called Mikel Obi?

Well, Henry might just be right to say Nwankwor Kanu is technically the greatest player out of Africa because he made sure Kanu's middle name at Arsenal became Benjamin and he never did anything about it.

A player that left Arsenal unceremoniously and got sacked by West brom is that what henry calls greats?

Henry must be high on excess Guineas stout.

What is your family name? Who knows your father? Your family belongs to the gutters where nobody cares what's in there. And here you are abusing a man that has achieved what your 20th generation to come won't even attempt but end up on the streets of Nairaland like you.

There are great players like Weah and Eto who should never be so dismissed. In his prime, Weah was simply incredible.

But, based on technical ability, no one in Africa comes close to Kanu Nwankwo. His goal against Chelsea, the third one on his hat trick night shows this. No other player in Africa has that kind of ability to win the ball on the far right of the field, make a dashing run, skin the goalkeeper and hit a curler from a tight angle.

I think that is what the Arsenal Legend, Thierry Henry is trying to point out. Based on technical ability, Kanu aka Papillo is the King of Africa.
