Komekn just focus on club football, I mean top club football, that is the orientation you have, you are not suited to discussing national team football, because in your dictionary, exists no word like grooming, hence, before you, once a player isn't ready, he should never be brought in to the topic. If we go by your logic, we would only be discussing players like Ndidi, anything youth should never be discussed, let alone prospects. If we followed your idea, we wouldn't even be discussing Ndidi before he left Genk.
TheSuperNerd: Okay. Do you recall that Naija U-17 Team that failed to beat Niger republic in an Afcon U-17 qualifiers back in 2016? That team that was tagged Nigeria's youngest ever assemblage of young teens and gross inexperience cost us against Niger and we failed to qualify.
Ishaq was tagged the golden boy of that team and was only 14 (born 2002). Now 18 and signed up by Norrkoping just this summer and he was moved straight into their first team and played in all games since the swedish Allsvenskan began off the bench.
See him in the pic below in jersey no.11. Among the smallest in the team then.
TheSuperNerd: Meanwhile, I understand the Iggy show resumed today. 5 goals in 4 starts at Man Utd.
He is doing well and I think he is inadvertently paving the way nicely for any talented Nigerian player that Man Utd will go for in future. If another genuine Naija talent rises and Man Utd is linked strongly to the player and questions arise as to whether he can handle the pressure of the theatre of dreams, fingers will definitely point to Ighalo as an example of a Nigerian player who did it in their colors.
Sometimes, what we do for ourselves and in our name echoes into the future for someone else.
TheSuperNerd: In Sweden, I want to again make mention of this fine young midfield baller, Ishaq Abdulrazak, an 18 yrs old CDM/CM. He got his first goal involvement today for Table-topping Norrkoping as they beat Attah Kadiri's Ostersunds FK 4-2 away.
I rate this lad Ishaq (18) and Alhassan Yusuf (19) as our best talents out of the lot in the swedish Allsvenskan. They are both fine midfield ballers with genuine potentials to be more. Perhaps when Amoo resumes with Hammarby, he will impress enough to make it 3 teen super prospects to watch out for of the several talents we have in Sweden.
See in the clip below the run of Ishaq from midfield before collecting a pass in attack and locating a team mate on his blind side to finish up the move.
It was only Ishaq's 4th appearance off the bench but he already has an assist to show for it. Another teen prospect to look out for.
Additionally, Attah Kadiri Jordan also scored for Ostersunds FK. It was his 1st goal in 4 games for his side. Following up nicely on his preseason form.
Am I the only one who knew nothing about this Ishaq boy till few days ago?
TheSuperNerd: Ehen Elyte89, at least your man Ujah ended the season with a goal and an assist. Na Small something we go manage. But he still underwhelmed this season overall.
Meanwhile that Suleiman Abdullahi that scored Union Berlin's third goal. Mehn... That lad is a fine baller. He has been out for a long time but glad to see him return. Hope he carries on like this into next season.
komekn: First of all l am not filled with " bitter leaf soup " like you.
After some time of being on this thread your words begin to reveal aspect of your true character and your nature.
I am almost certain that everyone apart from you HERE will testify, that l will NEVER EVER use that kind of gutter language to describe anybody. Once again you have exposed yourself with BLATANT LIES.
Football is a dynamic sport with constant change for the better or even worse, it's dynamic.
My comments which were years ago are always with the proviso of AT THAT TIME.
I rate, assess players on the HERE and NOW not the futuristic projection of possible quality. No club buys that, and when we do that projection must be prevalenty clear and obvious with some level of measurement of quality and or ability.
Years ago l said Fikayo Tomori and Tosin Adarabioyo were not good enough for the SE. I even rated Dominic Iorfa ahead, well within two seasons these players have left him behind. One has an England cap and the other could easily be playing for City soon or sold to a number of EPL clubs.
Three years ago Eberechi Eze and Josh Maja did not justify inclusion to the SE it was unfair. In comparison to Tega Onomah, Oviemuno Ejaria, Chuks Aneke, Fred Onyedinma and even Ademola Lookman.
But fast forward today and Tega is behind Eze and Ovie. And Onyedinma is not progressing enough to be considered for the SE in my opinion. Chuks is becoming injury prone and cannot compete seemingly.
When a person is in darkness they cannot see light, and everything they see is perceived with bitter, rancourous, hostility and seen to be negative.
Every TING na fight 4U.
That is you.
It is that darkness that made you not to see the light ahead of Eze, the light ahead of Osimhen, and it is that same darkness that is blinding you from seeing the effort the said Nwakali is putting in to revive his care. Dude you can only dribble with wordings, those lowlifes who come here singing ur praises, not me. Try harder, loser
komekn: Nwakali has done nothing since youth football in 2015 and that's 5 years ago in case you have forgotten and you are putting him on the same platform as the best player in the Championship Eberechi Eze.
A players that multiple EPL clubs have been putting in offers for not just interest.
You said same rubbish when I started "hyping" Eze, you said Eze was shit compared to gods like Aneke and Onomah, dude you are short sighted and you are a glory hunter. I don't rate players only when it is rosy with them, I stick with them through thick and thin, get ur lazy ass off my mention.
TheLoneCitizen: Sir I understand you're trying to be unsentimental and cerebral, but sometimes listen to the obvious facts and be constructive with your analysis, sir.
I have always been constructive sir, Ighalo should do more, those numbers are poor
sheyishemba: Exactly you just made everyone know you are just one of the prejudicial fellow we gat on this thread
Could you please define the word prejudice or preconception, and with your antecedents in bold, elaborate its correlation with my my points or subject of discussion sir?
elyte89: So u and ole sat down together ...and he told u he's tired of iggy , 4 not scoring in d league ..baba dis ur campaign against iggy no go fly....e go just dey expose ur dislike for iggy on dis thread
Where did you read that I had a meeting with Ole and that he is already tired of Ighalo?
sheyishemba: Prejudices in this thread is becoming more alarming can't just fathom this If you guys could remember when nacho was at mancity similar scenario happened when he had more goal with less minutes nothing wey them no describe am reach you go dey hear lethal striker ,Fox in the box etc they even compare baba to mbappe but it not ighalo they no even check how many minute he clocked they just moved to 6 games Baba I totally agree with you
Ur first paragraph questions the second, in a bid to make a point, you ended up shooting urself in the foot.
Philosopher1979: No mind am he thinks he is the only one that can quote stats. Now his hatred has found him out. Thank you for disproving him
I decided to overlook ur unwarranted outburst earlier and act cool because ur moniker looks new to me, please be properly guided, I am not always that cool
TheLoneCitizen: This is not entirely true sir, record remembers minutes per goal not games per goal. Since the inception of football statistics sites like Opta, a players clinicality is measured by how much goal he has scored per minute not per match. So there is nothing like goal per game, it is now goal per 90 or per minute.
Ighalo has played 52 minutes over 6 games, an average of almost 9 Mins per game. If he plays a complete 90 and get two goals, he would have the highest goal per minute ratio in the league, making him the most lethal player in the EPL.
His goal per game ratio will tell you he has 2 goal in 7 games.
Bit his minute per goal will tell you he has 2 goals in less than 2 games, that is, 142 Mins.
Where were all these logic when Iheanacho was suffering same fate at Leicester, nobody cared to talk about the less number of minutes he was getting, but everybody was just focused on number of games.
Bro, Ighalo has gone 6 games with no go or assist, and considering the faith the coach has shown in him, she should be doing better, for Christ sake, Ole brought him in, against all odds, he should work harder not to make the man an object of ridicule, he has been patient enough with him.
komekn: It's obvious you haven't watched a lot of youth team football in professional clubs because if you had, you simply will not jump to your conclusion with such haste.
Maybe he should have said "I don't think this boy will go places...right"?
[quote author=elyte89 post=91141357][/quote]Still doesn't change nothing bro. He still has zero EPL goals and assists for United and he has played in 6 matches
daveP: I have no worries with performance. He delivers when he plays and is more mature in attack than Martial IMO. He is getting the numbers as he's given play time, which is okay for me.
That Kine publicity naim other cadet guys suppose dey do so as to give some focus and twale to the location they started from with football.
daveP: The media amd their phrases eh. Its good to have a good phrase that will gum body o. Now that "boy from lagos" dey follow Ighalo upandan among UK sports reporters. Its good. Also funny.
I hope our upcoming footballers also sense this and take advantage. No be everytime we go hear "we play paperball, barefoot"
Oh im just saying now.
Aswear, especially those he played together with at Maracana Lagos, that phrase gonna sweet their bele die
But he gats score in the EPL to be counted, really
