Leave that hater. I guess we should now turn the thread to talking about only Naija players who feature for Real Madrid and Barca. And oops... I checked and we actually GOT NO ONE at Barca or Madrid. Lol

No, we should only be talking about the Anglo Nigerians who do not want anything to do with the super eagles

Kelechi Nwakali's 13 mins debut cameo.

Watch from 1:48:07 in this 2hrs 6 mins and 8secs Video.



https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RhFxew077NA

A cameo but a huge outing, I loved how he carried the balls, how he played without fear and the way he body-checked opponents when need be. He is coming back stronger, hopefully, Huesca will make it back to the Laliga Santander

Another prospect from a fast growing academy in Abia State.


Uzoho should watch out for Enyeribe Ikenna.

His surname alone has a strong message Enyi eri ibe which means an elephant can never feast on a fellow elephant, because an Igbo adage has it that "ubochi amuru dike na mba, ka-amukwara ibe ya na mba ozo" hence, Uzoho should prepare for a war, I trust this boy to give him a good run for his money


He just got signed by a Moldovan 1st division side, Balti FC


Ya kpotuba GBAMSOLUTELY!!!

You jump on the prejudiced bandwagon of emotive negative bias.

Look at what you have written it's simply Balderdash, l would say don't you have some small shame but l know you ABSOLUTELY HAVE NO SHAME.

But l will indulge you today. First of all, l said it here donkeys ago, years ago, that Ibe has zero interest in playing for Nigeria. So he was never part of the equation. So why make reference to him ❓

Ademola l have unapologetically said is a prospect but not in recent times.

With regards to and co l am not a mind reader.

Finally, you are comparing Noah to Ademola that doesn't make any sense. Leipzig is one of the top three teams of the Bundesliga and Augsburg is seriously flirting with relegation at the bottom level.

But let's do it to show your state of irrationality.

Leipzig is a consistent top team in the Bundesliga Ademola will have to show extra quality to claim a regular jersey. He has not yet IMO nonetheless, he has played 13 games this season not good enough.

Noah in the lowly bottom level Augsburg has played 8 games he is not a regular. And scored once. If Ademola was in Augsburg he would be a regular on the other l doubt if Noah will even make the bench at Liepzig.

None of them justify a call to the SE but if the choice had to be made, l would go with Ademola.

I'd overlook the unwarranted puerile bile and focus on the subject


Now kid, crux or context is "active", and going by your signature hypothetical extrapolations, "a lion in a small league or club is better than a mouse in a bigger league or club", Noah has the upper hand, don't you think so?

BascoVanVeli:
Stop all this please. Etebo was bossing it in the championship until the beginning of this season when the new coach decided he wasn't in his plans. This was before he kicked a ball. He came back from the AFCON and the decision was made.

Here is Steve Bruce gushing over him.

https://www.stokesentinel.co.uk/sport/football/transfer-news/stoke-peter-etebo-steve-bruce-2704312

“Where did Stoke find Peter Etebo?” he asked reporters.

“Feirense in Portugal, eh?” he added, with a little whistle of admiration after being told about last summer’s £6.3m signing.

Are you actually taking that guy seriously?

komekn:
On what basis ❓

On the basis that only "active" players are supposed to be given opportunities, not inactive players like Ademola Lookman, Ibe and co. Simple

andrewbaba44:
You said top 10

Ahh na mistake oo

andrewbaba44:
auba
vardy
werner
immobile
lukaku
aguero
benzema
danny ings
Jimenez
lewandowski
icardi
ben yedder
moussa dembele
mbappe

Does he has better stats than these ones ?

I guess he is better than luis suarez and cavani seems he has better stats than them this season

Complete the list nah, I said top twenty and you only gave 14

andrewbaba44:
He is not among the best striker in the world oga, yes among best young strikers

No need to dey even argue this one with you

Name the world's best 10 strikers using their stats as the SI unit

Edopesin:
no we crashed out because we couldn't hold on to the equalizer

No, we crashed out because Ighalo had the whole time in the world to bury the chance that came through Rojo's forelimb, he chose to waste it, then wanted to take solace by rushing at the ref to point out Rojo initially handled the ball.

Edopesin:
lmfao
Ever heard the phrase "Experience lo matter", People agreed that we crashed out of the world cup due to inexperience and we're talking about National team football not club football I don't know why you're mentioning Sancho and haaland

Funny enough, we crashed out because of the over rated experience of Ighalo

Edopesin:
Well he did finish as Afcon highest goal scorer and the qualifiers highest goal scorer et al and I can also mention the matches where this special quality came in very handy

You mean those moments against Seychelles and Lybia? Do you know that as bad as a player like Musa is, he is highly dreaded in cities like Rosario, Buenos Aire et al, now these are what we call moments, not ones against the likes of Seychelles, Tanzania et al. Messi would rather play a Nigerian side led by Ighalo than ask for a Musa led attack

andrewbaba44:
Osimhen rated among best strikers in the world ? Please among best young strikers okay

Just calm down he will get there, na small small

I go beat you if your boy sadiq umar no move this summer oooo, you no allow us rest recently

Who were/are the best strikers in the world from Europe's top five leagues, statistically prior the hiatus?

mostob:
I don't think experience really matters in football nowadays. Football now thrives on ability and capabilities rather than experience. Guys like Sancho, Haaland, Mbappe have proved that age is just a number.

Guys like Sancho, Mbappe, Haaland and of course Osimhen have all proven that

Edopesin:
Well ighalo has shown that you don't need pace to scatter defence and score goals ask Cameroon

Yea that special quality always comes in handy, just like it did against Algeria, Argentina, Croatia, the almighty Madagascar et al

Edopesin:
one is more experienced than the other

But one is more prolific, pacy and energetic than the other. Also one is rated among the best strikers in the world currently, one has also played against some of the best teams in the European champions league and had their defenses in his wake

Olulong:
having both Eze and Ejaria will be so so good

Good stats I love these players. Though, Ejaria tops the chat, Eze is more purposeful with his dribbling than Ejaria, hence, he is more productive. Ejaria on the other hand, over elaborates, same thing Osayi.

Obinna Nwobodo!!! What a goal!!!


https:///NNvuww4VNR?amp=1

TheSuperNerd:
Just look at the way he came on and practically won them the game with his influence on things leading to that goal. But Calleja will insist on playing him from the bench just to accommodate Moreno in the first XI alongside Alcacer.

Dortmund will be the best option only if Sancho leaves.

Please make the video available when you lay ur hands on one

TheGoodJoe:
Five stars post.

Wow. He is so transformed. Sadiq Umar is highly tactically sound. I am so impressed with his technique on the ball. Ahead of a lot of strikers. The rate at which he drops deep is mind blowing. Tactically ahead of most playing for the Super Eagles. His awareness of those around him is also flawless.

His use of space, the midfield and wings is brilliant. Work rate is exceptional too. Potential of becoming a top class striker.

Needs to work on his shooting and heading accuracy and power.

Those(in holds) are the qualities that made me say I wouldn't trade him for a Tammy. In 2016 he was too young for the Olympics, hence the school boy errors that seem to have eroded the mind of many, and have them blinded to the immense quality innate in the boy. That guy is top quality and he is so daring, a very selfless striker to play with as a forward. Gerrard wanted to mess him up because he spoke up, but boy wasn't gonna settle for less, because he has so much believe in his abilities. Look how far he has come compared to the mediocres Gerrard was selecting ahead of him, in a bid to diss him.


I hope you saw the way he easily beats or commits defenders, his first touches are orgasmic, the way he controls balls is so pleasurable that it could make one come prematurely.


He is a certified baller, and he is headed for the apex. I can't wait for the summer transfer window to open




Yes he should be doing better aerially and should also work on his shooting to stack up more stats

This is why everybody wants Umar Sadiq. Quality baller


https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&url=https://m.youtube.com/watch%3Fv%3DxNEP8cT9pXI&ved=2ahUKEwjwp_WyjIDqAhWP0eAKHVwQDPkQwqsBMAB6BAgCEAM&usg=AOvVaw1UGL_ZvDjmcHj-zj-eh6UP

The toast of the elite clubs, Umar Sadiq the lion

TheSuperNerd:
Perhaps no one reported this here so here it is... Sadiq Umar still bossing Serbia. It is clear he is above that league and level of competition.

He bagged a beauty of an assist for Partizan Belgrade in the Semis of the Serbian Cup and that assist provided the only goal of the tie against their "Bitterest" rivals, Red Star Belgrade.

Here are highlights:


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j61Qyg2yF2g

Note the skill on show from Sadiq to create that assist. Check from 1.53 of the clip. Excellent and beautifully intelligent play. He has other highlights in same clip ofcos especially on that last action of the clip where be should have done better. In all, time to leave Serbia abeg... He is too much for that level



That makes it 17 goals and 16 assists in 38 appearances for Sadiq in all competitions.

In the league alone he now has 12 goals and 13 assists in 24 games. Since the return from the Covid break, he has bagged 1 goal and 2 assists in the league in two games played on May 30 and June 6.

Monstrous!!!! My boy is definitely coming good. I wasn't joking when I said I would rather Sadiq than Tammy.

safarigirl:
Make una see the kind tasteless jokes some Nigerian journalists make online.

Seems you are getting to know this attention seeker newly. He is always sounding stupid unlike guys like SolaceChukwu, Osasu, Randa, Enakhana etc.

Since anyone born in Nigeria can't be the age they present, why then does he get offended when people question his real age, or that of his boy Awoniyi? That Oma guy is a stupid boy

junnyjake:
Because he black?

Awaziem wey peng na white?

Kog45:
Good qualities.Hope he comes good cos I don't rate Jamilu Collins.

Zaidu is looking pretty good and rumors have it that he is Porto bound to replace outgoing Telles, reason he got signed to Jorge Mendez' agency few weeks ago.


I have never rated Collins, he is neither good going forward nor otherwise

Kalapizim:
sure, just my personal preference Sha

I like the Alba, Alves, Cole kind of build full backs

Alves is just as sturdy as Cafu, Mendy and Carlos, he doesn't have same frame as Alba and Cole.

Kalapizim:
This boy looks heavy for a fullback, I will rather play him at center back.

Mobility is key for fullbacks

NB: I haven't seen him play o

Ever heard of Benjamin Mendy, Arthur Masuaku, Alex Sandro, Kyle Walker etc?

Kog45:
Hmmm,you are right.I think a fit Ebuehi and Aina are okay for me,anyone coming in should be miles ahead of them not very average players like Collins Jamilu and Idowu.

When you watch Zaidu play, you see traces of Bayern's Alfonso Davies in terms of pace and timing of runs, traces of Robertson in terms of precise and accurate crosses. The boy is real quality

Joebie:
Safarigirl go endorse this one

He is well built, but he ain't no peng

elyte89:
Are u sure dis man won't turn to anoda idowu/jamilu ,same way we praised both b4 /after deir debuts

I never rated those two, because I already had enough of them prior their call ups respectively, hence, I can't quite fathom where you got that "We" from.



Zaidu is the real deal, you can take that to the bank

We have a really quality left back in Santa Clara's Zaidu Sanusi. Dude is very fast, defensively strong, very good going forward, with a superb crossing ability. He is a modern day left back, through and through
