You are funny, you would have called Osimhen a hype if he hadn't lived up to it. Nerdy did the same thing he is doing with every other up and coming kid with Osimhen, thing is the Osimhen lived up to the hype. I remember Icon4s warning us back then to tone down with the hype, that youth football is what it is, you probably weren't here with us then. And i will never forget Icon's statement after we lost to SA in Uyo, he was like "...lost all hope when I saw una osimhen warming up on the sidelines"
In fact he is a bit underrated here compared to Nwakali, nacho and Chuks
Thats that big fat lie. The only person that wasn't given attention was Chuks, hence, everybody was surprised when I said he was gonna make his debut for Villarreal, about 3months before his debut. People started bringing him into discussions after his Villarreal debut because nobody expected that much from him. Even Okonkwo Orji and the boy at Bologna were all rated ahead of chuks.
The guys that were rated(hyped) were Nwakali and Osimhen because they did better at the world cup and easily got better deals in Europe. While Osimhen has lived up to the hype, Nwakali hasn't.
Starboytwo: his quality was never in doubt... Victor Osihmen...
HYPE or whatever you call it, this guy will be Africa's representative to battle, Mbappe, halland and other Top young striker to rule the world in the coming season, he is only behind mbappe, ben yedder, and tied with almighty NEYMAR for goals in the scoring chart... first season already rolling with the BIG BOYS for a 21 year old striker, he bagged 20 last season... this season before the break, in a new and much bigger, tougher league, he's bagged 18 already and 4 assist....
my guy has 4 goals in 8 cap for the GREEN WHITE GREEN, abeg i cant find any negative things to write about him.... Or do we have anybody who has something contrary? i doubt...
Wait until komekn comes to tell you how he is gonna be a waste man, and how Tammy is gonna achieve more. You go even surprise how Joebie wey dun give this post a thumb up, go automatically do a U-turn, starting his clause like "...but, considering...I think I will agree with komekn that..."
According to same Serbian site, Monaco vice-president Oleg Petrov has already contacted Milos Vazura, director general of Partizan Belgrade to discuss the move. And he is being lined up as a replacement for Islam Slimani who has been released to rejoin his parent club, Leicester.
Both clubs have an excellent relationship which could help facilitate the transfer on time.
andrewbaba44: You are right but please remove sedou Keita from that list
Sedou keita was playing for as Roma at the age of 36 and even played in the champions league at that age ,was even starting most games
If dem tell una say una players use football age una go argue
Anyway those Ivorians use football age sha but they do know how to take care of their self
You can see Gervinho is still playing at the top and doing well
I am currently seeing this match between Parma and Inter, and I have been trying to pick a player from that Nigerian side that defeated Kalou and Gervinho at Beijing Olympic, who still play at this same level as Gervinho.
Seems Ivorian players last more at the top level than other players from Africa.
Imagine how long the Toure brothers lasted, imagine how long Drogba and Zokora lasted, just imagine Kalou still playing in the bundlesliga aged 35, imagine what Gervinho is currently doing to Inter Milan. Compare these guys to the likes of Mikel, Muntari, Essien, Mbia, Yobo etc
Blueelf: He is a Norwich player. I know of cantwell, Pukki and Mings....Just because I don't know the first eleven of a bottom table team like Norwich doesn't mean I don't watch ball. Abi, is it because I criticized your chuks that you're accusing me?
You can't name Norwich standout players without naming Lewis and Bouendia alongside those names you reeled out, if you dey watch ball indeed
elyte89: So u can find an excuse for chukwueze but always ready to crucify ighalo who is carrying out his role perfectly well whenever he starts ...continue
Your post came with a clause, that makes your claim null and void sir
Blueelf: Okay bro. I will take your advice and watch him more closely from now on but you too should cut Iggy some slack.
The guy don try
Yea, I just want him to do more. I want him to set more records, I want him to surpass everything Quiton achieved individually at united, to stand up there alone as the best forward United has ever had from Africa. He can do it
Joebie: So far, I can say Onyekuru's positioning is quite poor. Poor at running into spaces for a pass.
He has been disappointing and has rightly fallen down the pecking order - I would pick Simoses, Ejuke and Kalu before looking his way in that super eagles left wing
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
