TheSuperNerd: The Moffi Saga: Marseille fans already dreaming of his arrival, Player yet to give his "Yes", Agreement with Moffi's agent reached already
Time will tell but 30million euros to Lorient has been tabled. Moffi's YES is all that remains. What a cracker mehn 😎💥💥
charlesemeka85: Read on Twitter few minutes ago that Olympique Marseille hv tabled a bid of 30m euros to lorient for Terem Moffi which hv been accepted. Also hv discussed with the player’s management but Moffi is still holding out for a move to Nice
TheSuperNerd: Lookman's role this season isn't simplified to just Supporting Striker. Watching his games and studying his heat maps show he either operates on the right or left of a front two (the other being Muriel, Zapata or Hojlund) or acts as an inside forward from the right or left.
SS is one of the roles we ascribe to him when he plays a little deeper than the point man in a front two as seen in few instances or certain game phases but it isn't his actual role definition this season if one look closely.
Never mind what Transfermrkt may present (they aren't always spot on on player positions), fact is he is usually part of a front two and recently in his last 3 games has been used more in a twin attacking #8 set-up (the other being Boga) in a 3421 operating through the Half-spaces with licence to go wide & combine plays with the corresponding wingbacks if need be while Boga does the same on the other side.
With the stats of the array of stars we have up front, I don't think Iheanacho still deserves a call up to the Super Eagles, especially with Lookman's ability to play as a supporting striker, the position that he has played with excellence so far this serie-A season.
ChrisKels: With the way Ndidi is going with injuries and the unreliability of his so called back ups, I think we should consider this bullish Crystal Palace young CDM called David Ozoh since he is leaning towards us, and he also hasn't been capped by England at any level.
I had to revisit this, in order to repeat this. We should be moving on from Ndidi. Dude now spends more time being injured than he does being fit. We have to go all out for Lesley Ugochukwu, or we try to blood in David Ozoh and other possible options.
charlesemeka85: But our players are doing well in Europe’s top league this season
Osimhen- excellent Lookman- excellent Moffi- excellent Onuachu- excellent Iwobi- good Samu- good Onyedika- good Awoniyi- average(though his first season in epl) Bassey- good Alhassan- average Osayi- good Zaidu- good (prior to his injury) Bruno- good Ndidi- average( just returned from injury) Akpoguma- average Ebuehi- average
TheSuperNerd: Interestingly, I was already preparing something on this lad before you asked this question. Well, I guess the cat's out of the bag.
Like Lesley Ugochukwu, here is another one with Naija heritage but raised in the French system.
Aside the wikipedia info of him moving to France at age 3 and being born in Lagos to Naija parents (Similar case to Yossoufa Moukoko of Dortmund, born in Cameroun and moved to Europe early under Adoption), what we need know is that he is a promising young striker who bagged 24 goals in the French U17 National championships in 2020/21. A left footed forward who stands at an impressive height for a 16 year old: 1.85m.
Belongs to the class of 2006's "French" Generation Next alongside PSG's Warren Zaire-Emery.
More info digging shows his Father is a Business Owner in Nigeria while his mum works for a restaurant.
George has 3 younger brothers and a sister. He and his immediate junior were born in Nigeria while the rest of his siblings were born in France. He says he got into football because of his Athletic uncles from his maternal side. Idolised CR7 and Mbappe.
His goal against Maja's Girondins Bordeaux made him the first 2006-born to score a goal in any of the top 5 European leagues and their 2nd divisions. A Pioneer.
He did this at age 16 years, 4 months and 28 days.
So what are our chances with this lad? Time will tell but he does seem to recognise his Nigerian roots.
P.S: I only hope, unlike Moukoko, he doesn't turn out a little older than his age currently states. Moukoko have been found out to be 22 and not 18 in actuality due to documents provided by his grand dad according to report findings. Their kasala.
Ilenikhena's story so far shows he may truly be his age and all. So yep, another prospect.
This Goodjoe guy can you rest for once and allow us who come here to read about Nigerian players to enjoy our moment as our boys are painting Europe with goals? What is wrong with you?
TheSuperNerd: Naah, No grudges held. We all have our activity windows. I was in the hospital that day. Didn't travel last December like I did the penultimate year but had my Christmas and New year break days.
It was a post I had already organised in my freetime 1-2 days prior.
Sorry man. I hope you have bounced back completely now?
No wams it is obvious you don't ply that route. Omo when I got to Lokpanta my heart was really beating fast, and my mind was never at rest till I passed Ihube and got to Okigwe. Money or no money, if those animals catch you, you are in deep shit. A friend of mine that was once kidnapped by those animals along 4corner Udi road said those things were forcing them to feed on grass.
Onye ego for doing 120 along an Express way notorious for kidnappings by Fulani herds men? Omo I know a lady that does more with V6. I no get that kind mind, especially if I dey go alone, 120 is enough, and once I get to a safe zone, I go between 80-90 and 100. life no get duplicate.
