Best that you choose to rest in impotant matches.No be Winger countryman Henry make Wenger forget Kanu for bench.Wenger waste d dude cos of Henry .Wenger even trust Wiltord than Kanu. Its just dat d dude is a calm and patient guy unlike Adebayor.

I think Wenger need Nigeria coaching job that's why he's hallucinating. Soon, he will say Bolton + Jay Jay Okacha is d most difficult team he ever played against and Mikel d best player he never buy.

Nigerians have started again.

Even Kanu wont tell you he was better than Henry.

some goals are more valuable than the other.. a preseason goal or a league goals cant be compared to goals at the UEFA cup final

Oga make we stop dis mediocrity and amateurism jare

kanu was good yes, but to me not a veteran in terms of architecture and know-how in front of goals

Kanu is just a black version of Diego milito and a taller version of Ji Sung Park

Not in rhe mould of..

Ronaldinho
Zidane
Aboutrika
Eto
Drogba
Ronaldo
Messi
Inzaghi
Shevchenko
Puskas
genco
Klose
Totti
Del Piero
Henry
Raul
Lewy
Tim Cahil. Et al


to me these are the Veterans, i mean the legends


Kanu and d rest of Nigerian players who are considered legends back here are literally Icons of the games and not...VETERANS. grin

Kanu was good.

You can’t be an average player and make that Ajax team of 1995/96, playing with the likes of Kluivert, Seedorf, Edgar Davies, De Boer twins, Overmars, etc, playing in two UCL finals, starting one.

And are you joking to say he was not in the class of Zidan and Tim Cahill?

Kanu was a great player, slayer of Chelsea. But to me, Auba best him.

No doubt Auba is a better player. I think he didn’t choose Auba because he didn’t get to see much of him and because Arsenal’s team of Auba era is rubbish compared to Arsenal’s team of Kanu era.

I wish Arsenal could go back to being a great team.... But that's almost impossible sad

There is no such thing as impossible in sports (especially football). Different great teams have a run and fade away giving way to new great teams and then the circle continues...

Papilo was a great striker, although okocha was more skillful but kanu has greater achievement and was more celebrated.

To think okocha never won African best, was beyond me.
okocha played for the money and not for the game

Sir this is very important even in informal or casual discussion always stick to the subject and shun third parties in every necessary way, the discussion here is about Kanu, Wenger and Arsenal, so what brought comparison with Okocha?

If you take this little advice you will be glad you did.
