Underwhelming career from winning NPL with Dolphin straight to Panathinaikos to Eredivisie to Belgium pro league, considering he played as an Attacking midfielder, right?

Show me one Nigerian Attacking midfielder in his era that had a better career.

Ajagun and Nwakali have had same career trajectory.

forgiveness:
Mbappe vs Iheanacho debate was in 2016/2017 season and Mbappe was far better but some people blinded with sentiment thought otherwise.

I could remember they called me names because of that. Now, let us look back and see now all the players I vouched for. From Lookman, Dele, Simon, Ajagun, Solanke, Eze, etc did they not have a good career?

Well, me no dey do sentiments. By the grace of God, I go soon establish football academy in few months time. Na free but based on your talent.

When I tell dem about Nwakali and Iheanacho, dem think say I bi hater.

Those boys are indeed talented but they have areas that showed they can't really achieve greater height.

Some of you are really funny. So, others were wrong about Iheanacho and you were right about the names you reeled out? So, which of those names have had a better career than Iheanacho?

Remember you said Dele Alli was better than Iwobi, but where are those two today?

Iheanacho has never been over hyped. His hype was on merit and the hype rightly died down also when he started declining.

Royal Antwerp F.C. in the Belgian pro league has completed the signing of 18year old Victor Udoh.🇳🇬🇳🇬🇳🇬

Congratulations Udoh🇳🇬

Udoh joined Antwerp in March 2023 from an academy in Abuja.

charlesemeka85:
na only Yobo? What about others that sees the snr national team job as their north right and the only coaching job to die for?

I picked out Yobo because na his mate be this.

I'm hoping that Utaka and Olofinjana will make too.

charlesemeka85:
I remember Beye, solid RB that played for Newcastle in the Epl then 😳❤️❤️❤️❤️

Our ex international that turned coaches their only aspiration is to lobby for the Snr national team job 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Imagine how clownish Yobo was with his entitlement instead of working hard.

charlesemeka85:
Welcome to the Theatre Of Dreams Dorgu!!

Not a Nigerian

This guy rejected Senegalese job, and told them not now, but in the future. Our EX internationals should work hard and stop hanging around the glasshouse like beggars.

In Troost Ekong it seems we have a prospect sha.

charlesemeka85:
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

When this winter transfer window dey close?

Goke7:
na you suppose collect work from that Romano guy na, nairaland no get money to pay for your services bruv

Aswear the guy is doing a great job but my problem be say if you praise am too much now, him go deactivate this good job, begin find troubles up and down.

elyte89:
Ok na..good opinion, I c what u did dere…u didn’t bother to answer the second question 😊😊😊

Lol bro we go give you the CHAN team to manage for now no vex.

elyte89:
What’s ur opinion about Eric chelle …u av not said anything about him ? Is he better Dan me? 🙂

Initially I didn't like the idea of hiring Chelle but so far, I have to admit this man has this aura that makes me feel even more confident in him than I have ever felt when we hire a coach.

I don't know for you all but I personally prefer to play SA in SA than playing them here in Nigeria. I'm more confident of beating them in their beautiful stadiums because our boys perform better there than at home.

Goke7:
you are just in a hurry, I never castigated the player, check Emeka's response and compare it to yours, I mentioned faults to balance my point cos many here (am not one of them) have raised their reservations about the player for club and country and not even in a bad light but just areas of concerns and that's where am coming from. It will be a contradiction for me to still go ahead to say how much I love the player cos, unlike others who count their legs when playing for the Eagles Bassey is none of such.

Calm down before you throw stones ok? looks like you were looking for a fight where there was none

I actually skipped the post due to how you started off. Which one be "despite his faults"? Made the post appear so negative for a player who is one of our bests.

Boniface's move to Saudi is off.

Mujtahida:
True. I was happy having him in the team. I thought he'd he could pair with Osimhen. I don't think he'd fit into Chelle’s style. I wish him well sha

I will like to see what Arokodare would bring.

Because I want Onyedika to leave this January, I would not be mad if Brugge is eliminated today, but at the same time, I don't want them to get eliminated so that I would get to watch Vincent Osuji in the Champions league this season.

Dilemma

charlesemeka85:
won’t happen this window but likely in the summer

Inter,PSG,Dortmund,Milan,Villa,Bayern and Porto are all interested

Kalu Nmecha's injury is hurting Dortmund and they want Onyedika to fill the gap and help them get their season back on track, but if Brugge make it to the next round, they won't let Onyedika leave.

Mujtahida:
There's a test I usually use for any SE attacker. If you play one, two, three matches without scoring, I will put question marks on you. But for me my concern for Boniface is not the lack of goals. It is overall game. It amounts to nothing.

That is why no one is worried about his move to Saudi because as long as the super Eagles is concerned, 90% of the fans don't rate him, and for now, wouldn't consider him a loss if he goes there.

charlesemeka85:
lovely goal

I want him to seal that Dortmund move this January

Kog45:
The same Onyedika was on the bench under Peseiro till Finidi came and started starting him if it was other way round na to dey condemn local coach......... Onyedika would have won us Afcon.

Was JPez hailed for benching him?

Dinho's goal against city.

1-0 Club Brugge.

LADIES AND GENTLEMEN DROP YOUR FOOD !!!!!!!!!!!!! DROP YOUR DRINKS !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! MANCHESTER CITY COULD GET ELMINATED FROM THE CHAMPIONS LEAGUE TONIGHT !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Who is watching Dinho against city?

The only Saudi move that pained me was Imoh Ezekiel's move to Qatar after tearing up the Belgian league with Batshuayi for Standard Liege.

I don't know why some of you are complaining over this move. To me, this guy made the right move at the right time considering his injury history, after all, he has been a rope of sand in the green white green so why the bickering?

Dude should go amass some wealth when he still has the time.

3 more matches for Nigeria without a goal as an Al Nassir player and Victor Boniface's time with the eagles might be over.

charlesemeka85:
I happen to see Uduokhai play for Besiktas in the UEL against Bilbao and I must confess bobo was too solid

It won’t hurt getting him to play for the super eagles. Well polished and composed with the ball as well as ruthless with his tackles

Solid player, that one.

ChrisKels:
This is where Finidi showed, not just his cluelessness but that common trait with our egoistic 94 footballers who have turned coaches. How Tanimu and Awaziem made it ahead of Jordan Torunarigha beats still beats me, especially when there was no single natural left back in the team. This boy could have easily slotted in in that position or even played as a left CB while Chinedu Bassey takes the left back position.

I have always wanted him because I believe he has not been given a fair chance to prove his mettle, same as Akpoguma.

Samueltemi337:
Group C

Nigeria
Tunisia
Uganda
Tanzania

Tunisia will be the main headache

charlesemeka85:
🚨 EXCL: Sevilla FC is interested in Jordan Torunarigha, a German-Nigerian centre-back (he can also play as a left-back) belonging to Gent and whose contract expires in June 2025.

I like this boy but I don't know why some people here don't rate him.

El-Papi Chulo! Now you are fully back to your best and I'm enjoying it.

More transfer news bro.


I hope Torunarigha makes that move.

charlesemeka85:
heard he is among those they intend offloading

Him, Loftus Cheek, Okafor,Tomori etc

Can't offload without the assessment of the new coach, and so far, it seems he is rated by the coach.
