Joebie:
Those trio (eze, aribo and Iwobi) will combine crazy passes among themselves. I prefer that to mazy runs that end unproductive most of the time. e.g players like Ejuke. But it's also good to have Ejuke as an option when we want to switch up play.
Are you sure about this?

Statistically, Ejuke trumps everybody there, in terms of productivity, and Ejuke is more of trickery than mazy runs. He is better on the left wing than Iwobi and Eze and he can very much challenge them in the AM position.

The league he is playing is not bad for now , he will only move if there are offers as he is doing well

If you are reporting sadiq performance from serbia then you should have no problem with aribo playing in scotland

I am sure you are feeling sadiq and you will want him to get a call up soon, then you should be okay with aribo

How many players have you seen that move from english league 1 to portugal top club or bundesliga ?
Ok, but did they drop it outside? Maybe did you see them when they left it there?

the first day i saw aribo play in the colors of charlton then i knew we have a star in the lad who in no distant time will become a mainstay in the super eagles. aribo is not yet the finish product but i assure you that if he can be able to reach his full potentials we have the new yaya toure in our hands.

i dont look down on players based on where they play but love players who are super technical with tactical awareness and creative spark. if gerard can allow the lad to settle in a particular position mainly the AM i assure you that aribo will get double goal digits and assist this coming season
Aribo is good, I am just not feeling the league he plays in. I had hoped he was headed for Benfica or Germany, but much to my chagrin, he left for Scotland instead

well you may be right but i do make out time to follow players intensively before hyping them in here. after watching the likes of aribo,maja,adarabioyo etc in few matches few seasons ago i knew those kids had something special which will be noticed in no distant time.

others i followed their progression very well was onomah and ejaria but the former later fell off because of injury issues and i am glad he is getting back to his best
There is no doubt about that bro. About pushing for players recognitions here, I give it to you especially with what you did with Aribo. Same goes to Truistar on Dessers.

i am so glad that since i joined this forum the few players i have made mention of as rookies are waxing strong and gradually reaching the expected height.

tosin adarabioyo was brought up as a topic here about a season or two ago during his first stint on loan in the championship and i was insulted by many here especially andrew and chriskel who labelled me an asslicker but today tosin have improved so much that he is rated among the best CBs in the english 2nd tier.

aribo and maja were also tagged english league one players and not good enough but i have been vindicated because they have made huge progress and today one is doing big things in the scottish league and in the colors of one of british traditional clubs while the other is doing decently well in one of the top 5 leagues in europe in the colors of one of france traditional teams bordeux.

it takes more than following the round leather game to fish out a talent whom one can rightly boast that in the next few seasons will metamorphose to a good talent
No bro, we talked about Adarabioyo as far back as 2016

i have known the lad a long time ago but made mention of him when he became a mainstay in reading's first team. also i and komenk at the same time brought the duo of aribo and maja to of this thread when maja was with sudnerland in the championship before their demotion to the english 3rd tier while aribo was in charlton in the same league.

i respect folks who make out time to search and monitor the progress of players of Nigerian ancestry both bred home and abroad not those in here hyping players who are still living on past exploits and glory.

the likes of komenk,joebi and supernerd are among the few who bring in the names of young talents who later blossom to the expected heights when they were first mentioned unlike those who try as much as they could to force the likes of axubiuke and nwakali jnr down our throats
No you lied, Josh Maja was first mentioned here by no other than Supernerd, you were not here then, though


Joebie's post first had the name "Joe Aribo" on this thread



Like I said, the players you guys praise today we knew and discussed them long before now.

I disagree with this .most of the players in championship and English descent player are first mention by komekn the likes of chuks aneke,Luke Amos ,onomah, eze,aribo I remember vividly when he told about maja's exploit in league one ,i could remember when he tagged Aribo "as Nigeria Patrick viera"(he was a DMF with similar play style ) and mind you no disrespect to the likes of supernerd they have done a great work unearthing this players .
lemme shock Michael olise was discovered by joebie.
lastly how many players have you unearthen here huh
Lol OK sir, but just so you know, when we started talking about most of those players, Komekn had not even joined this thread. Like I said earlier, you are new here.

Ameobi was one hell of a below average player!
Almost 500 professional career games and he didn't score up to 100 goals!
If he wasn't born in the UK,he most likely would have ended up in an obscure
European league..


Maybe the goal he scorer against Italy was what got him a ticket to Brazil...or maybe it was egunje
He most likely wouldn't have made it past the NPFL, if he was born here and he chose football as a profession, same with his brother, Sammy

He has been directing his energy to English kids same way Doherty has been doing too..you can tell him to dasses other players. komekn watch only English league and he has really bring some of this talented lad to our hearing the likes of ajayi,iorfa,eze,tega,ejaria,aribo et al IMO he has even contributed to this thread more than many of us here (am not asslicking him but thats the truth)
He made an earlier proposition that onomah should be invited same way you guys said nwakali should be integrated into the team it his choice and opinion you can tell him to change it ....he is putting in energy in what's he thinks is the best so who are you to tell him to charge those energy to other players ..common on !!!!
He brought who to your hearing? So we didnt know of those guys before he started backing them up? Bros e be like you joined this thread lately.

Same komekn that was crying that we invited an unknown maja, eze et al instead of his infeasible favorites like Tammy.

Ogbeni just so know, komekn doesnt bring new names here. Most of the time, Supernerd, Forgiveness and that guy from Edo that resides in the USA, Tbaba1234 bring us unknown names. Komekn is never known for unearthing talents to the thread, both UK and otherwise.

He is now backing Olise, but for once he never talked about him until someone else did

Formation5
Cc Edopesin
This is a team built on super pace, guile and creativity. Though I have my reservations on Aribo, but from the few matches he has played, he seemed a better partner to Ndidi, than Etebo ever was(not taking anything away from Etebo but he and Ndidi rent compatible). Imagine what that midfield would be with an Eze just in front of Ndidi and Aribo.

The full backs will have to be well Disciplined defensively to be able to strike a balance between joining the attack and defending.

Little mistake you made is that u swapped Aribo's place with Ndidi's, otherwise, the team is near perfect.

You did well today, so no sticks on ur small bombom

So a Nigerian is the head coach of a top Turkish club.

Again , get this into your mind. Nwakali is a Nigerian born and bred talent. He has privilege , rights and advantage Onomah enjoys in England. The English will not furnish Nwakali with these benefits. Henceforth , we will take care of our own, firstly.
He knew this already, just that it is too hard a pill for him to ingest.



By the way, I saw Colin Udoh's article on how foreign born players are now being approached, I had nothing but props for Pinnick. Sound him out just as you would every other Nigerian player, no special treatment, if he comes good, if he asks for more time, make him understand you ain't in for games, hence, you ain't coming back again for him, instead he should be the one to reach out to you when he must have made up his mind. And that the said player ain't gonna be taken just bkus he has reached out, the coaching crew are still gonna weigh him up(this is mandatory) to ensure he is still worth it.


If we had used this measure, that scam of a striker from New Castle, Shola Ameobi would not have made it to Brazil in 2014
