Some of you guys are funny. You are scared Ola Aina might decide to quit the super eagles because a few people criticized him against millions that praised him. By the way, how are you sure that the so called post "I hope you die" was made by an eagles fan or even a Nigerian?
However their shortcomings you can't deny that they blazed the trail for the Keshis, Yekini and co.
No disrespect to these players of old but sometimes na nostalgia dey make us rate them or even think they were better talented than our present stars. Omo if you watch videos of some of these guys, you go come dey wonder what the rave was about.
Kog45: Good but Okonkwo and Okoye have Stanley Nwabali to beat and good for our goalkeeping depth.
They don't necessarily have to fight for the first shirt. We need good covers for Nwabali, unfortunately, Uzoho and Ojo can't give us that. We need to recreate that Enyeama, Ejide and Ayenugba era where we don't have to be scared when the first choice goalkeeper isn't available.
For me, our team should be; Nwabali, Maduka and whoever comes top between Arthur and others who are yet to be tested.
Kog45: This is Godwin Odiye the man that scored own goal that denied Nigeria what would have been her first WC appearance in 1978.Nigeria 1978 team would have been a golden generation that subsequent eagles teams would’ve find it hard to beat…..the team had Emma Okala,Christian Chuckwu,Segun Odegbami,Muda Lawal,Adokiye Aimesemeaka,Felix Owolabi,Kadiri Ikhana.
If na dis generation Godwin Odiye for hear it o
A golden generation that couldn’t outscore their opponents instead decided to use an own goal on a home soil as an excuse? Would the owngoal have mattered if the so called golden generation was leading their opponent by 2 or 3 goals?
TheGoodJoe: Actually, discover for this thread and bring to our notice is discover. TheSuperNerd posting Nathan Tella first here equates to discovering him for us.
Okay for the thread members who were oblivious of the said talents, not the national team.
I was not trying to downplay the efforts of TheSuperNerd, that guy is doing a great job in here.
Not really. Built like a proper midfielder. Has similar physique as Awaziem.
Midfield and defense isn’t our problem anymore, neither is goalkeeping. We just have to find a way to make the team more creative so that our strikers can be giving us those numbers
charlesemeka85: I don bookmark the name since the first day u brought him to our notice
The boy is quality. I was having doubts when I first read of the interests from La liga but the reporter laughed at me and asked me if I knew Samuel Omorodion and his journey from same route(Spanish third division). That was when I became interested in the boy.
charlesemeka85: I pray so. This one na your boy cus na u discover am 🤣🤣
No one discovered anyone. Uche was a member of our U23 squad.
Na you and TheSuperNerd dey do that yeye discover thing, yet you guys can't point to any grassroot or academy owned by you guys. Na only for mouth and pages of news papers una dey discover the talents. Una go go read report somewhere, then come bring the report here begin shout say una dun discover player for us as if we too no dey read those reports 😂🤣😂🤣
charlesemeka85: Laliga side Getafe beat Sevilla and Betis to signing of 20 year old Nigerian Midfielder Chrisantus Ugonna Uche from Spanish 3rd tier side Cuenta
He will join the Madrid based club officially next summer on a 2 year deal
He just left Owerri a year ago to join 5th tier Spanish club Moralo where he was snapped by Cuenta
Quality Central Midfielder. He will definitely boss the La liga.
charlesemeka85: same here but I no fancy that psg rumored move
I for like mk em come epl
I like the move, otherwise he should go to Madrid or Bayern, two teams that can guarantee him a champions league trophy every two seasons, while still paying him huge. No epl team can guarantee him that, not even City
mostob: The thing is Paul Onuachu doesn't have a guaranteed spot in the team. As of now, the strikers in conversation are Osimhen, Awoniyi, Boniface. Outside those, we have Moffi, Sadiq, Akor and Orban. The competition choke.
That is the person he can actually battle for a place with.
charlesemeka85: of course I made a post few months ago saying that it won’t be bad inviting him to see what he can offer the team as well as cap tying him for future engagements
If he agrees to play for us him and the likes of onyedika, Eletu,Akin, daga etc will be the face of our midfield in the future
Another is Ozor who plays for palace but I rate Iroegbulam ahead of him for now
chrisooblog: You no see say since the day he mention him name I follow am argue. Modified. Just checking his stats has only featured in two games all season and he's supposed to be the immediate solution to our midfield troubles Komekn some times ehn.
He is one for the future but it would do us no harm to bring him in now considering his obvious immense talent. That boy will definitely come good.
charlesemeka85: imagine saying that Iroegbulam wey dey struggle to mk Aston villa bench better pass Onyedika 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Emmy fashi, Iroegbulam is a super talented midfielder but realistically, I don’t see that boy playing for Nigeria, hence I’m asking Komekn to clear the air, but he keeps shying away from that. It’s not just enough to drop names in here, are the names interested in repping the badge?
I would love us to have a player like Iroegbu if he was actually interested. His difficult times at Villa is transient, so I wouldn’t under rate him just yet.
That said, Onyedika deserves his flowers. Dude does his thing like Kessie and he does it well. Jpez messed up our opportunities by opting for Iwobi ahead of Onyii even though Onyii was tailor made for that role.
