I will be waiting to see what that poor man okocha can do ,because I know you guys want him to play for naija and bench iwobi

I love Iwobi, but Eze would bench him even in the Arsenal team if both fight for the AM position, Eze is best suited, he makes it look simple because he has the traits.

But truly, he balled yesterday, I saw the match.

Genk agrees deal with Heracles to sign Dessers.

From the look of things, Dessers may not be able to get up to 5caps for Nigeria, not when we have osimhen, sadiq, Iheanacho, Dennis and maybe Moffi all playing in a better league

TheSuperNerd:
English no dey easy for everybody but it is well. Wonder what was so hard in my brief report? If he made a pass to the winger, I would have typed Right Winger and not Right wing. But I kept emphasising "Right wing" for him to try get me and see his foolery. Pass to the right wing. The full video shows that. Everything culminated in the winger carrying on the move through the right wing and crossed for the goal. Simple.

You know, I find it very amusing seeing Joebie waiting for a chance to try catch me off guards. Hahahaha. But it's not his fault shaa... I have been on his case for a while since I returned. He just wants to score back by finding just anything. But he doesn't know I have a strong defence. Lol.

His desperation most times reeks of low self esteem and insecurity. Dude be acting as though he has to bring you down to stay relevant, una dey drag anything?

Joebie:
Refer to the snapshot. You said he passed to the winger who crossed for the scorer. True or false?

.

Ogbeni stop lying, he said he sent the ball to the right wing, he never said he sent the ball to the right winger. You wanted to drag him through the mud but you ended up making a mockery of yourself, because you now seem to suffer from a particular disease - the poor comprehension syndrome, we all thought MbJAndre was the only one suffering from this disease in here oo

Joebie:
This is the original post.

Make I go sleep. No time for liars.

Joebie you are desperately tryna look silly here, but Nerdy is smarter. I just like people being mindful of their choice of words, and that's exactly what Nerdy did to have you make a fool of yourself by yourself.

From his write up, he clearly stated that he sent a pass to the right WING, while you are here talking right WINGER. You are the one tryna lie against him to save face. He never said winger, rather he said wing, and from the video, he was correct. Na u dey lie abeg

Alhassan Yusuf with a Fire performance today . abeg see his heat map first !!! touched all parts of the MF. 102 Acc passes ,124 touches, 4 interceptions, 1 tackle, 4 key passes, 14 out of 14 long balls, 3 successful dribbles. He is d truth , a future super Eagle player

Ah

No oo. The kind Jeun-Jeun football wey we play, we had clubs and we contributed Money for tournaments and then there were trophies.

We played regular 11 against 11. Even with Jerseys. It was usually "a Winner take all" competition. And sometimes it went violent when there was poor officiating.

They were teen clubs mostly for Children between 12 & 17.

Some of the players then will progress to the Senior teams that played the Mock nations cup.

A lot of Nigerian professional coaches used to attend the Ajegunle Mock nations cup then. I only played in one for my Team Madagascar when I was 15 (I was kind of big relative to most other AJ kids then). Some Golden Eaglets players of yester years were picked from that Tournament.

Then you had to chose between your academics and football because you could hardly combine both because of the number of hours you may have to spend on the field weekly. I went for my academics and rather preferred to watch other boys play when I had the freedom to. Thank God today we have football academies. Nothing of such then. Na mostly NFAs (No Future Ambition) dey take ball serious then.

Ok oo, I thought your case was similar to that of the guy in the goal post here

He tossed the net when he got crossed 🤣

Joebie:
But Alampasu was calmly warming up and about to come on the pitch. He showed glimpses of his old self with his sharp reflexes on the sidelines. I can't wait to see him get his cameo..

You well so?

Icon4s:
Me and Taribo West played Jeun-Jeun football for Ajegunle . We were team mates.

He is AJ-AJ to the core.

Big ups to our "coach Ibe" for discovering some of those talents.


Na Bridge Boys Taribo start him professional football from.

My man, talk true, for that jeun-jeun football, na for goal post dem dey put u dat time abi?

Growing up, doz wey fat and doz wey no sabi tap leather, we dey automatically assign them to the goalpost to serve as our goalkeepers while we the real Gees slog it out inside field

Na this kind thing u go dey suffer doz years as u dey goal post

He tossed the net when he got crossed 🤣

In Latvia, Miracle Chikezie Nwaorisa scored the winner for his side Spartaks Jurmala as they ran out 2-1 winners in a league game.

That game saw Five Nigerian youngsters feature for Spartaks Jurmala. Three from the start. Two off the bench.

They lied to us that Nwaorisa was the best thing since sliced bread, just to get him a place in Aigbogun's team to Poland. They told us he already had a precontract with Sampdoria while other bigger clubs were mulling, las las, just like Abdul Zubairu's, all na wash

The Viper's response to this post sha, he had to call the tweep by his real name to show his disappointment

Who amongst our present crop can equal or surpass this record held only by Nwankwo Kanu "Papilo", that makes him the world's most recognized Nigerian footballer, past and present?

Nwankwo Kanu was once voted the 6th world best player of the year, and that is the highest any Nigerian has come to being the best in the world

andrewbaba44:
Lol

Baba calm down jor

We all know say danjuma and billing no be deadwood,I like your joke thou

But you see ibe and solanke those ones worst pass deadwood

Danjuma might turn out a good player, but I can't say same for Billing, this has nothing to do with his rejection of Nigeria, naturally I never rated him even whilst he was still defending the colours of Huddersfield, coupled with his attitude too

andrewbaba44:
Ezekiel Henty

E pain me say things no work out for am for locomotive Moscow ,if not that dude should be in a better league by now

I had high hopes on Henty when he was coming through Milan ranks

andrewbaba44:
Lyon go bench this guy neat ,no chance for him to start ahead of moussa dembele

If osimhen is still at Lille then he will be benched also

That was why I used the word "would" instead of "will" to make the statement conditional, inconclusive and subjunctive.

A move to either Lille or Lyon WOULD make sense if...either materialises and, if...Osimhen and Dembele are sold.

So, in a nutshell, the statement has the sense of uncertainty and assumptions

TheSuperNerd:
He's still with AS Trencin. He played all 90mins today.

Did he lose form, or was he just a flash in the pan? Can't quite rap my head around the reason the hypes have to die down almost immediately they were started.

komekn:
Very very impressive today, that shot was with his right foot from distance. He probably was Arsenal greatest attacking threat particularly in the first half.

Same right foot cost Arsenal their first goal, ironically

TheSuperNerd:
Rabiu Ibrahim played all 90mins for Slovan Bratislava in the Slovakian Super league as they secured a 3-2 away win over MSK Zilina to seal their league title win.

Ezekiel Henty was not listed today but he is also a league winner now in Slovakia.

Has Abdul Zubairu gone into oblivion? We no longer get to read or hear anything about him no more. The hypes have really gone down drastically

seankafor:
lol

E be like dem.dey sign one kind contract never to play for naija before they re given the limelight to play

Funny enough they are practicing a quota system there, all 3 major tribes fully represented, you know, nothing Nigerian works whenever our quota system rears its ugly head

Danjuma (Arnaut)- Hausa Fulani

Anyanwu (Billing)- Igbo

Solanke (Dominic)- Yoruba

Ibe (Jordan)- Igbo



Bluelf I would appreciate a carpentry description of these frauds

TheSuperNerd:
More news, my good people...

From a reliable source of mine. Official bids put in for Sadiq Umar are from Lille, Gent, Lyon, Sampdoria, Parma and Sassuolo.

Nothing is agreed yet. Nothing is concluded. But official bids from these sides have been made.

Lille and Lyon would so make sense to me, but I could make do with either Sampdoria or Sassuolo

Bournemouth sha has too many deadwood Nigerian descent players in their ranks, from Danjuma, Billing, Ibe to their oga patapata himself Solanke, all na scam .

TheSuperNerd:
Hmmm, ladies and gentlemen, I got some news for you.

According to Voetbal24, Napoli could be in for Emmanuel Dennis Bonaventure. The source says Negotiations have already begun.

If this pulls through, it could mean Osimhen and Dennis at the same club.

Links woudda made this juicier

TheSuperNerd:
Please don't quote me saying this. If Nwakali's debut makes you guys cringe so much then keep at it but don't bring it to my mentions. I only dropped a report of his debut. And if he keeps playing, you will keep hearing about him here. Besides who are you to tell me what Nigerian talent to mention or discuss on my own posts? Please be mature and don't give me this kind of mention next time abeg. Merci.

You know when Omonbala1(Idenna) described this guy as being halfwit and too dependent on peoples' opinions to stay relevant, I was sad because I never saw him that way, but over time, with his cold rants, he has been proving Omonbala to be such an empath to have seen what we never saw, he has been such a dolt, quite painful I am saying this.

TheSuperNerd:
Lolllzzz... Abeg leave the Philosopher alone. I think that is him doing his part to drop a report on a player we may not have heard about. Free am abeg before I am accused of favoritism again for not reporting someone from Slovakia.

But we do have players there ooo. I follow the ones especially at Trencin.

Everyone is free to drop reports on any Nigerian player anywhere. More of this should be encouraged. You may never know where we find the next diamond in the rough.

Watch out for Enyeribe Ikenna, quality goalkeeping prospect

TheSuperNerd:
James Igbekeme is on the bench yet again for Zaragoza. Eguaras, Soro and Guti all start.

Valentine Ozornwafor also starts from the bench for Almeria.

It's Zaragoza vs Almeria coming up in about 34 mins.

I want Almeria to slump for Huesca, they don't look like they are gonna retain Ozor, otherwise, I am tipping either clubs for a place in laliga next season, with Zaragoza and the run away leaders of the Segunda division

Six Midfield players ready to hit the headlines

°Ovie Ejaria (Reading): Ovie is the next player expected to get a call up to the Super Eagles. Having switched allegiance from England to Nigeria, the Under 20 world cup winner has been lighting up the English Championship. He is signed to Liverpool but with Reading on loan

°James Igbekeme (Real Zaragoza): James will most likely be playing in La Liga next season as his club are currently 2nd in La Liga 2 and in the automatic promotion places. He was a former team mate of Oghenekaro Etebo at Warri Wolves. The promotion to La Liga will most likely raise his profile next season, fingers crossed.

°Frank Onyeka (Midjylland): Frank's rise in fortune coincided with Paul Onuachu's move from the club to Belgium. Both moved to Mitdjylland from FC Ebedei and Frank is now bossing the park in Denmark. He is a move away from hitting the headlines. A move in 2021 will see him hit the headlines.

°Kelechi Nwakali (Huesca): Kelechi has had a forgettable 2019 and by yesterday had endured 15 months of no club football. He came on for Huesca yesterday for 13 minutes and gave a good account of himself. This followed on from appearing on the bench in the game before. Kelechi has an outside chance of promotion to La Liga as the club is currently 4th in La Liga 2 and will compete with 4 other clubs for the final promotion spot. Whatever happens, promotion or not, it looks like Kelechi is finally back

°Alhassan Yusuf (Gottenburg): Yusuf is getting rave reviews in Sweden and is being touted as a transfer target for a lot of clubs across Europe. This summer will be interesting when the transfer market opens

Obinna Nwobodo (Ujpest): Obinna has now outgrown Hungary and a move to mainstream Europe beckons. The 2015 Under 20 Nigeria midfielder is ripe for a move and to showcase his skills on a larger stage.


Otite Dafe

Anderlecht seems to be at the front of the queue for box to box midfielder Alhassan Yusuf.

"RSC Anderlecht hopes to pick up next season with good results and ditto performances. In order to achieve that goal, Sporting will probably attract a few more players, which is why the club is linked to Alhassan Yusuf of IFK Gothenburg, according to Swedish journalist Daniel Kristofferson . The Nigerian box-to-box player appears to have the necessary qualities to take Anderlecht to a higher level.

NO JAN POLAK

The term box-to-box player may immediately remind you of Jan Polak, the Czech former midfielder of Anderlecht. But Polak was previously a running midfielder, with limited technical options. Alhassan Yusuf is a purely footballing midfielder, a type that the Purple & White supporters love and that fits perfectly with the house style. Yusuf, 19, has played at the highest football level for less than two years, but last season he already won the title of Young Player of the Year in Sweden. In the rankings he preceded, among others, Benjamin Nygren (KRC Genk, ex-IFK Göteborg) and Odilon Kossounou (Club Brugge, ex-Hammarby).

Many goals or assists should not be expected from Yusuf: in 32 official games for Gothenburg he could deliver 2 and 5 pieces respectively. But thanks to his effort, technique, dribbles and fit, he always makes a great contribution on the field. In each of these parts, Yusuf would already mean great added value to the current Anderlecht team. Although the quality difference between the Swedish Allsvenskan and the Jupiler Pro League must be pointed out, witness the situation of Nygren at Genk and the varying performances of Kossounou at Club Brugge ...

INFALLIBLE FIT

Yussuf's most pronounced strength is his impressive fit. In the Allsvenskan no footballer - except center backs - can put a more pure fit on the mat. As a 19-year-old, that is quite impressive, and that with barely one full professional season behind them. For example, the 91% pass passes pales at the 87% of Albert Sambi Lokonga, the best passer at Anderlecht - except for center backs. In addition, Yusuf delivered 8 passes per game more than Sambi Lokonga. Yusuf's numbers get even more impressive when we compare them to the best passers in the Jupiler Pro League. Previously it was Sander Berge, after which Elisha Owusu walked with that honor. Both men also recorded 91% passes last season.

DURATION BUT NOT INQUIRABLE

In addition to his phenomenal fit, Yusuf also has a good dribble, physical capabilities and a good cross. The overall picture makes the Nigerian midfielder an absolute golden rooster, as can often be found in Scandinavia. Unfortunately for Anderlecht, several hijackers are still on the coast, such as Sheffield United, Wolverhampton, FC Copenhagen and Feyenoord. In the past, Yusuf himself was still mentioned at FC Barcelona and Ajax.

Wolverhampton is said to have sold 7 million euros before the arrival of Yusuf, but that amount seems rather unrealistic. Its current market value, for example, is barely 800 thousand euros and, according to BT Sport, Gothenburg's asking price fluctuates between 3 to 5 million euros. A transfer fee in this order seems more realistic, because the Swedish club has never sold a player for more than 4 million euros. In terms of finances, that is still on the high side for Anderlecht, but in return they will certainly get their money's worth.

TheSuperNerd:
Easy. Stats wise according to Sofa score, two of those midfielders (Guti and Eguaras) are among Zaragoza's Top 3 highest rated players this season. The third has contributed 9 goals+assists (4 goals and 5 assists) from his role. The other top two have created the most big chances for the team, are in the top 3 for passing accuracy on the team and are in the top 3 also for accurate long balls.

Igbekeme don't have much on these guys to be frank even judging from the little I have seen of that Zaragoza team in action. They play again today so that's another opportunity if I find the time.

Igbekeme has not been able to maintain same form he had last season that set tongues wagging, stop listening to these guys that can't spare a data to see a player, but rush in here on the back of what they read on our local media to begin look for arguments here and there.

Ask komekn if he has ever seen a picture of Igbekeme, let alone his video, but he had to use him as a point Bkus he wanted to diss Nwakali and make his nightmare(Nerd)look stupid

Joebie:
no need for the question, go ahead and dig the post. and then we can look at the context of it as well.

It is your task Bkus you the one looking for reasons to prove we wrong to have called Nwakali's debut a progress from his previous years of no actions. Joke's on you bro

Joebie:
e no pain me. whih one u dey yan? i was specific that its too early to say he has made a progression.. he made cameo.. okay next

Do you remember your exact words when Osimhen made his Charleroi debut?

Philosopher1979:
Everybody watchout for yusuf bamidele. He is an attacking midfielder who plays for spartak trinava in slovakia. He is bossing the keague. He just arrived from a nigerian football acadeny in Nigeria.
A few years from now he should be in a big league and club. I like it when youngsters make an immediate impact
