Of course, Iwobi is better than Ox. Much better sef.

The only thing is that Iwobi needs to become a little more selfish and think about adding goal scoring to his game. Same with Victor Moses.
The problem with most naija players is that they are too much of team players that they don't think about padding their stats. But at the end of the day, the difference between you starting and sitting on the bench is your stats.

I think some of them are a little timid, but someone ought to tell me: if you have a chance of scoring then take the shot, even if you have a team mate to pass to. At the end of the day, if you miss then you can just apologize and move on....and if you score, no one can accuse you of being selfish. Point is, you miss 100% of the shots you don't take.

O pari

One of them has to start. And seriously Oxlade isn't a great option at all, they are just managing him because he peaked at a time when Iwobi was declining, but he isn't top quality. Ramsey is out and he isn't even a LMF, the only other option would be to switch Alexis back to LMF but that would limit his current form. So Iwobi has to start and he needs to learn how to last the entire game else they might be looking for an upgrade come January.

Akpom should be joining the first team come January, but breaking into the team is another thing entirely

The thing is a very large percentage of Nigerian youngsters fail to live up to expectation.

Most of our players do not progress well. Clubs in Europe have identified that.

tbaba1234:
Kups is in Finland not Norway.

BascoVanVeli:
Troost Ekong was just in Norway. He is better than any defender in Russia. IMO

BascoVanVeli:
He does not hate African players, this is a huge accusation to make without any evidence.

BascoVanVeli:
They have to get picked by a top team first before u can make that judgement. Players like Salami, Onobi, Matthew did just fine at their clubs getting rave reviews.

TheGoodJoe:


You go from it seems and to he does. So, it is no more blacks but black Africans. Guardiola is not a racist. If he was a racist, he would have sent Eto out along with Ronaldinho.

Yaya's agent was clearly off his duty when he blasted Guardiola repeatedly. Yet, he accepted Yaya back after he apologized.

Nasri, Joe Hart were dropped from the team. These are white Europeans. If they were Africans, you would have screamed racism.

He has worked well with Alaba and Boateng. Improving them along the way. Chill with the racist tag.

BascoVanVeli:
To me it is a way of bringing down the player's value. U say we need to improve but when it comes to talent we are not doing so bad. Look at the group of players that just left they are doing well in Europe.

joseph1013:
Life is not fair! He played so wonderfully.

BascoVanVeli:
I was going with the climate angle but just becos a league is better doesn't make the player inferior. For example Brazil has not put out a player like Etebo in years, the boy was ready for Europe before he left Warri.

BascoVanVeli:
Wouldn't the Brazilian also have to prove that he can play in cold weather? Or does it snow in Brazil?

TheGoodJoe:

Guardiola loved Abidal as a Brother. How can a racist do that? Guardiola flushed the likes of Ronaldinho, Deco, Edmilson, Rafael Marquez and kept Eto. No one screamed black lover.

Roma Coach Says Nigerian Full Back Nura Is
Very Quick & Technical, Reveals Debut Day

https://owngoalnigeria.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/11/image-155.jpg

The manager of Roma Luciano Spalleti has
praised the quality of teen Nigerian full back Nura Abdullahi, whose path to the first team has been slowed down by issues outside football.

Spalleti who isn’t entirely convinced by the
performance of Bruno Perez and the injury to
Allesandro Perez means Nura could make the
right back slot of the team his own by next
month.

We gathered a tentative date of December 10th has been set as his integration day to the first team, while his debut could come in the game against Palermo barring any setback.


”His speed is impressive, he is like a breath of
fresh air, so quick off the ground and very
technical with the ball” Spalleti said of the 19
year old Nigerian.


Last season he underwent minor surgery to cure a minor heart defect, before picking up an injury that ruled him out for the rest of the season on his return from the surgery.


Scouted by Barcelona after an impressive
performance in the UEFA Youth League against
the B team of the Catalan giants, he has worked
his way back to full fitness after overcoming the
many "injury" demons that have slowed him down.

First of all, I really enjoy your contributions here. Quite insightful and well thought out. Keep them coming. A big Shout out to ChrisKels too. You guys are really make great additions here.

I think it is two phases. I think first, a young player should work and learn under a top manager/managers. Whether he has game time or not. After grasping the knowledge, he can go out on loans or a transfer to a smaller club to show what he has learnt.

Is Nwakaeme a centre forward? I think, he plays in a similar role as Musa, Moses, iwobi etc...

EUROPA LEAGUE STAR NWAKAEME OPEN TO
SUPER EAGLES ACTION


https://africanfootball.com/bp_images/2016/11/nwakaeme_with_ogu.jpg





Hapoel Be’er Sheva of Israel striker Anthony
Nwakaeme has said he is now ready for a call-up
to the Super Eagles following his impressive
performances both in the Israeli Ligat hA’al and in the Europa League.


Nwakaeme was one of the scorers as Be’er Sheva came from two goals down to beat former
European champions Inter Milan 3-2 in the
Europa League on Thursday, and as calls for him
to be called to the Nigerian national team grows,
the 27-year old said he is ready if given the
chance.


“Sure, I am ready if I am called to play for the
Super Eagles, but the truth is, over the last few
years, I have had to concentrate more on my club career,” he said.


“The journalists here in Israel always ask me why I don’t get called to the national team like Nosa Igiebor and John Ogu, but it is always the coach’s call to determine that, but if they call me, I will be available.”


Nwakaeme’s goal against Inter Milan was his first in the Europa League, but he already has six goals in nine games for Be’er Sheva in the Israeli league, and finished as the second top scorer last season with 14 goals.
