You also didn't answer the question asked of Ndah. I thought we were also analysing the lad. Don't make it only about Awaziem.

TheSuperNerd:
So you would pardon Ndah's and not Awaziem's? That's selectively approached analysis.


Status? Awaziem is currently a player of Hajduk Split in Croatia who sit second in the league and is getting games regularly. You can check for yourself.

TheSuperNerd:
You are deliberately being discourteous.

You make it sound like this is the first time I am talking about our midfield and dropped names of possible solutions.

How many times would I drop names only for you or anyone to come back in months' time asking the same questions? Abeg Chris, Rest.

TheSuperNerd:
And where is he most comfortable in for you, in a back 3 or a back 4?


Tidy with tackles? Hmmm... Don't forget you are talking about a lad who was also shaky for the U23 Eagles at the Afcon U23 tournament in 2019. He wasn't so tidy and composed when he bagged that red.

If you can call Awaziem shaky because of a few bleeps in the past and ignoring his current status, how about Ndah?

Another young midfielder to keep an eye on is crystal palace 17 year old David Ozoh. Highly rated at palace and tipped to make the leap the first team soon, hv been named in palace bench in few epl games and viera speaks highly of him

Similar to Tim Irogbulam with good physique and built for his age

One for the future

TheSuperNerd:
Ever seen any proactive person complain of a problem without having in mind, some solutions to that problem?

TheSuperNerd:
The Super Eagles need CBs who are comfortable with the ball at their feet and in the buildup phase and Midfielders who can ball-play, dictate and easily recycle possession when needed to give us grounds in the first, second and even third phases of Buildup plays.

This way, our attack can be utilised in ways we haven't even exploited. Ball-comfort traits in our lads from defence to midfield will afford us different angles of attack in the final third.

charlesemeka85:
yes he has huge prospects but at the age of 24 he should push for a move to europe, even the Belgian and Dutch league will be a good starting point for him. I just hope the sassuolo move is still on for him

Josh Onomah linked with a move to Scottish giants Glasgow Rangers


Rangers fans not impressed

TheSuperNerd:
No, I mean what qualities do you like in the lad that you feel are relevant to what we need at the back.

I have seen you talk up Ndah a little before.

His Sassuolo move? I didn't report it but I guess it's still at the talking stage or maybe has gone cold? Time will tell. It's still a long way to the 31st.

charlesemeka85:
Alese is a good prospect, can be deployed as a wing back or cb

TheSuperNerd:
Alright then. No qualms. Not easy keeping up with all the options we have out there.

How about Olisa Ndah? What do you think?

TheSuperNerd:
His ability to slot into a back 3 and back 4 comfortably while also being ball-playingly proficient makes him a must-invite in the near future for the Super Eagles.

And like it or not, this ball playing ability is what keeps CBs like Awaziem on the lips and radar of folks like myself even though I never hid my disappointment in his step down move to Croatia.

TheSuperNerd:
Lol... His Physicality is what interests me. Not so sure about his ball playing.

Igoh Ogbu holds great promise in the ball playing aspect. Played Libero/Sweeper for Lillestrøm at the heart of a back 3. I have high hopes for him and hopefully he fulfills his potentials.

Torunarigha is off and on. But what choice do we have? I will also give him a look in.

What do you think of Marvin Ekpiteta at Blackpool and Ajibola Alese at Sunderland?

True. The youngest CF Option we have out there within the Top 5 leagues but again, I buttress, our midfield troubles won't allow us enjoy whatever prospects these CF options hold for us. Our reaping will be cut short and limited if we don't fix our midfield.

On a flip note, It's interesting how I used to rate Folarin a bit higher than Nketiah back then when both were still coming through at the Hale Academy but it seems both are doing just fine. Nketiah has shown tremendous improvements in his physical plays and establishing himself in the new MSN of Football (Martinelli, Saka, Nketiah) and Folarin just keeps getting better in France with his ball striking and finishing.


Finally, on Uduokhai... I don't know. If the ship has sailed, I don't know how far. We still have Jenz at Celtic to look at as well.

charlesemeka85:
He won’t bring anything different to what we hv. Awaziem is better than him

TheSuperNerd:
Victor Osimhen - 24
Terem Moffi - 23
Sadiq Umar - 25 (will be 26 next month)
Taiwo Awoniyi - 25
Paul Onuachu - 28
David Okereke - 25
Cyriel Dessers - 28

And now, perhaps in time:
Folarin Balogun - 21

Enough Central Attacking Firepower but still lacking the Right Midfield Trigger support.

TheSuperNerd:
It goes down Today: Osimhen and Napoli vs Juventus in Serie A's Top-of-the-Table Clash.

An Osimhen vs Bremer Battle will play out again as it was when Bremer was at Torino.

Transfer News: Terem Moffi to OGC Nice?? Agreement with player but no agreement with Club. PRICE AGREEMENT NOT ESTABLISHED. Lorient wants 25-30 million.

As OGC Nice prepares to lose Andy Delort, they are discussing with FC Lorient the transfer of Ligue 1 second top scorer Terem Moffi. An agreement has already been reached with the 23-year-old striker.
It moves a lot on the side of OGC Nice. The management took the reins by sacking Lucien Favre and the winter transfer window promises to be agitated. Mario Lemina is on the start, as is Andy Delort. And the Riviera club is looking for a replacement for its striker, capable of establishing itself as an indisputable holder.

As relayed in recent hours, the Terem Moffi track is gaining momentum. According to our information, OGC Nice has made a first offer for the Nigerian striker from FC Lorient , an offer which was rejected by the Breton club. The latter expects between 25 and 30 M€ for his 23-year-old striker, author of 11 goals in Ligue 1 this season.


Nice-Moffi agreement

Premier League clubs are already on the lookout for this, and Southampton have already tried their luck. It will be hard for Lorient to resist the various attacks, and Nice has the financial capacity to go all the way in this case. Above all, the Riviera club has taken a step ahead by agreeing with the player, with whom it has agreed since December 31.

Moffi, 2nd top scorer in L1 tied with Neymar, has even already been able to talk to Didier Digard, the new Aiglons coach. Negotiations are therefore underway between Nice and Lorient, it remains to be seen how much the price of a transfer will rise which could well shake up Ligue 1 by January 31.

TheGoodJoe:

Are you serious? I watched his video with one comedian and was impressed. Glad he is going places. He is so gifted.

charlesemeka85:
I believe if given a chance in the AM position he may do well
