Tolu Arokodare wanted by Monaco?

opes:
Galatasaray hardly play clean sheet, they
need to improve their defense

Okay but my post was about Anthony Dennis, not Galatasaray

Watch the pass from Anthony Dennis to set up Goztepe's equalizer against Gala.

Man city eyeing Ola Aina

Stop behaving like South Africans and Zambians.

charlesemeka85:
all those gum body mofos, na our players wey dey shine teeth with them cause am

The very reason I love mikel so much during his playing days, where u wan see am let alone to shine teeth with am 🤣🤣🤣

You don't know how much I detest seeing these content creators or the so called celebrities around these footballers. As a pro footballer, what in the hell are you hanging out with the likes of Carter Efe, Cubana Chief Priest etc for? Footballers used to have prestige and they were worshiped because it was rare to mingle with them or chat with them unless they granted you an interview as a journalist. See as Boniface dun make himself grain of rice for birds to feed on.

Big ups to the innit boys and the few others who have maintained their distances from these people.

Aina to replace Kyle Walker at Man City?

Is Ndidi injured? He has not made Leicester's match day squad for two match days now.

elyte89:
If dem buy d guy …him get luck ,cos normally na tranzorspor him suppose Dey play for

He would thrive if the deal goes through.

Arsenal fits his style.

🚨 Arsenal have identified Samuel Chukwueze as a potential target as they look to cover for the injured Bukayo Saka.

The AC Milan winger is understood to be available for €20m.

He shld better move to booster his chances of joining the national team

He should not move yet. The national team can wait, if they can not give him a chance from the serie-B. He should stay put and finish the season with Sampdoria, then move in the summer.

charlesemeka85:
can’t wait for him to get a chance in serie A. Kid has potentials ❤️❤️

Bologna is already fighting for his signature this January but he will probably not move till summer.

Bassey is in his element today.

TheSuperNerd:
And he scores on Boxing day.

Tolu Arokodare now has 12 league goals.

I have seen a compilation of his game one time and I was not impressed.

I noticed he always had his back against the post and he rarely make effort to take on his markers, dribble his way through or hold up play in order to bring his teammate in a better position before laying a pass, instead, he always opted for the easy way out by making quick back passes and repositioning for another back pass if given the ball. I hope he has improved on that. If you have some videos of him, please share.

Update on TheGoodJoe

NB: Please kindly put banters aside and take this seriously. Resist also the insensitive temptation to link this to Man City's current run of form. This is no joking matter, I plead


Now, I know a couple of monikers have been asking for weeks now about the whereabouts of TheGoodJoe. Truth is, I didn't want to share anything even though I knew all along what was happening with him and that is because I had not gotten his consent yet to share it (I have that now). He was going through a whole lot healthwise and I kept touch with him from the onset.
I just didn't wanna bring something so sensitive and private without his consent to the thread.


About 2 weeks ago or so, TheGoodJoe suffered a diabetic mini-stroke that really knocked him down. It led to him entering a semi-coma which kept him bed ridden for days but now he is up and fine again and has even been discharged as recently as yesterday.

He is fine but still undergoing serious followup checks with his doctors and more.

Please, kindly channel some of your prayers 🙏🏽🙏🏽to TheGoodJoe's health. Pray that this diabetic episode won't see the last of him. It is well. Amen.

In all, TheGoodJoe is sound currently. He can walk again and move around. He couldn't as at several days and weeks back. He is okay but still needs checks to ensure no relapse occurs. We thank God for his Life.

He also wishes you all a Merry Christmas and a Wonderful New Year ahead.

Nawa oo.

Be healed completely bro.

I wonder if are preparing to use Okocha, Kanu, Oliseh, Xavi, Iniesta etc to scale this world cup qualifiers hurdle.


The Philosopher will always be the Philosopher.

elyte89:
But we don’t have d patience if dis boy doesn’t click on time …national team football is a different ball game.how I wish dere were friendlies to test dis newbies b4 World Cup qualifiers

That lack of patience is more prominent with strikers (goals) not midfielders

charlesemeka85:
he is the new Yaya Toure 😊

Nope.


He is the new Chrisantus Uche.

Starboytwo:
wow, first time I'm seeing this guy.

Wow wow.. His touches are sublime. Skillful, has this natural swagger. What I noticed more is, he can receive a pass under any pressure...

This is a very dope player 👍
Should be called immediately, see better baller.

The boy is good and just as you rightly said, he calls for the ball even under pressure and the said pressure never make him panic. He plays with guile too.

Uses his big strong frame well.

charlesemeka85:
rightly the issue is tactical and from the coach who is yet to figure out how to use what he has

If the NFF can get a decent coach who can figure out how to use what he has the midfield and team will do well generally

Let's see who they hire next month.

charlesemeka85:
that’s the problem, but I suggest he is given a chance in any of the team’s friendlies to see if he can get a chance in the team

Competition for spots in a team is healthy and will keep the players on their toes, no room for complacency

We have good midfielders but na myopic ones they always wail for xavi and zizou kinda ballers to man our midfield, if well checked it may be difficult to find a few African teams currently that boast of the quality we have in our midfield

Well, I would not term anyone making that call myopic or deluded because we ain't creative enough even though we seem to have the right players in that midfield. I think our inability to be more creative is due to how we set up our teams. Our midfield is always porous and lacks both coordination and enough creativity.

charlesemeka85:
Anjorin may serve as a good cover for Fisayo and especially Iwobi. Slotting into the starting 11? I doubt he can straight away but will bring more competition to the CAM position

As for the CM position/B2B I think Chrisantus will be a perfect fit for that position. Robust like Onyeka but a better ball carrier,creator and goal threat in the opposition’s final third

Well defined bro, well defined but who would be dropped to accomodate Anjorin abi you wan carry 7 midfielders join body?

Ndidi
Onyeka
Onyedika
Iwobi
Bashir
Al Hassan out for Chrisantus

joelsteron:
BALOGUN is needed please.

Have you seen him play recently?

He is a player I love, but we already have enough CBs that are not pacy.

elyte89:
Ehen never knew solanke is no longer eligible for us…anyway,we must find a reliable alternative striker .

U kuku ignore my last point like Godforbid bad thing 🙄😏

chrisooblog:
Midfield is begging for a strong battling type who will stop our middle of the park becoming express for opponents to easily circumvent and get to our shaky defense. Defense maybe needs the return of an experienced street wise performer. We need to return to that defensive stinginess we had at the AFCON. Attack already has enough talent people just need to step up and contribute. Ademola and Osimhen can't do it all.

At the end of the day the overall attitude of the players will determine if our flag will be hoisted at the WC in 2026. They have to be prepared to leave it all on the pitch.

Chrisantus Uche is the guy.

elyte89:
1) I will invite Chrisantus Uche/ dt Chelsea loan player in empoli

2) get a new alternative striker(if we can convince solanke ..fine


3) bring back balogun

4) EMPLOY ME AS D COACH …MOST IMPORTANT

I'm a big fan of Tino Anjorin but he needs to step up his stamina and pace. He has not wowed me yet in Empoli shirt.

Solanke was never interested, also, he isn't eligible anymore.

Check out Chrisantus Uche https://x.com/EaglesTrackerNG/status/1871511146290626707?t=lLkOu2SUB5ZZM1IGpgbFSA&s=19

Who are the possible additions that needs to be made to improve the team in order to help us qaulify for the world cup?

Aina has the most points of all the defenders in the EPL so far. I repeat, in here and now, he is Africa's best RB

TheSuperNerd:
It is interesting that for a time there was actually an Aina vs Ebuehi debate on this thread couple of years ago.

How time flies....

Yea, Aina has improved tremendously, Ebuehi was better then. It was that ACL injury that destroyed Ebuehi's career.

Hakimi won the private jet flier of the year. 🥱

No award for Onana, yet he made it into the team ahead of Williams that was awarded as the best goal keeper?
