Guy na so this tin dey pepper your body all these years?

andrew444:
38 year old Daniel alves will be playing at the Olympic this week ,we can understand that this one of the most decorated player in football that has won it all apart from the World Cup ,he knows the importance of the Olympic just as most Nigerians do .

But many hypocrite Nigerians will say Olympic gold doesn’t matter because their so called goat hasn’t won it

Yeye Dey smell

Jamb, Sat and Bmat question rolled into one.

Even the Olise being unavailable for selection due to no passport is fishy because without saying much I know for a fact that Nigerian passports can be procured sharply even overseas.

Neobulletzz:
So super falcons submit Plumptree papers sharp sharp and fifa don clear am all within this year but super eagles dey use 2 years dey await clearance

It will take some getting used to seeing an ''oyinbo'' reppin the GWG bless her Wishing her and all the rest of the newbies a great career with the Super Falcons.

Ppogbae:
Guess who's in camp?

I'm optimistic he will fly out of the blocks this season.

Praying for an injury free season for him. My personal target for him is at least 20 league goals. Even when he goes to the AFCON God willing I don't expect him to miss more than 5-7 league games.

JohnBullMySon:
Osimhen don begin this pre season madness again .

Hopefully he takes it straight into the season this time around. No stopping at all.

Locatelli looks decent was good at the Euros.

Spy360:
Ben White deal is close. All agreement made and medicals fixed.

Sassuolo has accepted Arsenal's bid for Locatelli.

quickberry:
Very well, not average

40 goals in 174 OK a little bit decent but like I said not mind blowing

I was initially in the let's give him time camp but last season opened my eyes very well that we are headed no where with him.

on the bold even the real Kadiri Ikhana won a champions league ours can't even qualify for Yuropa League chei! when I we going to come out of this.

Roland17:
W. Saliba has joined O. Marseille of France on a season loan with no obligation to buy. He will be assessed again after he returns from his 3rd loan. I am convinced the kid will not sign an extension after he returns next season. It is a sad situation especially when you consider Gabriel will be out injured with a knee injury.
We, primarily our Spanish Khadiri Ikhana have absolutely mismanaged Saliba’s situations and watching our management sit still and allow it is even more frustrating. In his 3rd year, he is supposed to be playing for Arsenal but we are still loaning him around like he is an U-23 player.
You call him Arteta, I call him our Spanish Khadiri Ikhana.. He has absolutely no man management skill, especially with young players, lacks tactical acumen and plays a predictable cautious style that does not encourage fluidity/ movement. It is one thing to sound intelligent during pressers, it’s another thing to implement or put to practice what is deemed intelligent. This is the worst coaching I have seen..

Hi everyone. Anything new on Saliba?

Anytime I remember we let Martinez go and kept Leno

Never been so unsure about the direction of the club as now. Something dramatic has to change soon whether in the coaching or ownership department for Arsenal to move forward.

Spy360:
Valid points.

Nope he never played in Udinese. Modified he signed for them but immediately joined Granada on loan.

Yes Granada might have a different squad and coach right now but I feel going back to familiar surroundings like there's might be the best for him.

That's just my opinion anyhow wherever he eventually ends I will surely be rooting for him to succeed.

BascoVanVeli:
Yea he played at Granada but they are also a completely different team with new players and coaches

He also played at udinese I think

no knows but he's definitely alive and doing ok.

do4luv14:
Where that ohenhen sef Is he still alive??

you didn't see "close to his comfort zone''?

BascoVanVeli:
Granada played in the Europa League and beat Napoli last season is that not also high profile?

I hear you but I feel he needs somewhere less high profile and close to his comfort zone to rediscover his form. A return to Granada in Spain would be ideal in my opinion.

Subzero047:
Less pressure, if he works hard he will succeed at Udinese

Yes I forgot about him

jihday:
Uche Ik?

Hmm not too sure if that will be a good move for him.

Subzero047:
Isaac Success may be moving to Udinese

Great question!

Karlovych:
Was is the same FIFA that cleared her that is delaying those in the men's category?

Yes they did fairly well but it hasn't been quite mind blowing in comparison to our guys who went to England, France and Italy. Spain has been the most challenging top 5 league for our strikers. Off the top of my head can't remember any of our forwards who did well in La Liga except Christopher Ohenhen.

quickberry:
v

Victor Agali and Anthony Ujah did well

BascoVanVeli:
22 games 5 of which he was a substitute. Plus u also added chances created didn't you?

still doesn't translate to ''good amount''

I did already before asking the question. 3 assists in 22 games is not my definition of ''good amount"

BascoVanVeli:
A good amount. U too u can go and check.

The somersaulting "wonder!"

jihday:
MRI is really a blessing to our football, gone are the days when the NFA gave us an 18 years old policeman to play U-20

Trouble is how good is he creatively? how many assists or big chances did he create last season the few times he got to play?

His best bet is to somehow rediscover his scoring touch.

humility33:
Thanks Chris
If he cant score inconsistently he needs work on his creative skills then he can get to play as 8 sometimes

I kind of get humility's point. Apart from Akpoborie I don't remember too many Nigerian players especially strikers who have done well in the Bundesliga. However as you rightly noted if offers are not coming in from French teams then there's nothing he can do but make do with the cards he has been dealt. I think Taiwo really needs a patient coach who will try and bring out his best footballing traits.

andrew444:
One thing you guys should understand that there should be offers from somewhere before someone goes there

As it is now there aren’t offers from the French league for Taiwo and there are German league offers which is far far better than ekuke championship

And what’s wrong with German league for our players ?

Carry iheanacho osimhen go german league now weda dem no go score for fun

Awoniyi is a humble, hardworking lad who I admire a lot but since his youth football days I haven't really been wowed by his abilities displayed so far. He looks like your typical bullish English archetype striker who operates within the 18-yard box that Burnley like teams will love to have. I personally feel he's capable of better based on what I saw of him in his u17 and u20 days. I think he might need to shed a few pounds to improve his mobility and also avoid muscle injuries.

BascoVanVeli:
He has almost every physical trait to be a great striker for Liverpool. Yes the elephant in the room is his goalscoring. Klopp found a way to get a championship bound Lewandowski over the top so why can't he do the same with Taiwo? After all Salah wasn't 30 a season at Roma.

He improved afterwards though 2006 against the same opponents and 2010 against Zambia.

raumdeuter:
I was actually thinking about one of our Nations cup exit on penalties and how Enyeama was missing all the kicks and guessing the wrong way, He got lucky with this and became a philosopher, I will find that video clip for you. 6 penalties Enyeama was sold for 5 of them. It was only the last one that he followed the kick.

You have a point about the AFCON being largely uninteresting I can't really fathom why because I don't think the talent pool of the participating countries is any worse of than the days of them Yekini, Abedi Pele, Roger milla and co.

Maybe coaches are worse. Last proper AFCON i watched was 2008.

elrony:
AFCON quality don drop, maybe partly related to administration and talent pool sef

The fanfare ain't what it used to be.

My opinion shà, you might see it differently.

you wan bring mount/havervt wars from chelsea thread here?

Had to do a double take if it's the same Pammy i was watching he really grew into the game.

I like Lamps and Gerrard but they won't have done sh*t.

daveP:



Well i expected more. Besides its a final. Decent performance is below par for such an outing. GS probably left him on so he can play a pk. Henderson and DCL are good pk takers, but.... Smh


Iffai hear any Mount talk here, i fit para o.

Can't even believe its the same Emerson thats on Chelsea Bench that's playing like na him be the regular.(another angle about chance vs club and Country form)

Scholes would have reduced the tempo the Italians played. Lampard would have switched on his Superman Mode to equal or outdo the energy. Gerrard would have given the lazy pair of Kalvin and Rice some tackling jobs to do.

hmmm good that means we can still get him but with this our NFF that arranging "passport" is rocket will they be able to put in the serious work to change Tomori's mind? let's just say I won't be holding my breath.

TheSuperNerd:
No was my previous answer and I've explained why before. That he was already 21+ when he made his England debut. And the rule requires one to be U-21 and to not have played more than 3 official games (except if in WC or Continental competitions which rules them completely).

Tomori at age of England debut (his only cap): 21 yrs, 10 months and 29 days.

But then, I recently discovered an angle to the new eligibility rule which I have been wanting to share when the time arises. It says...

"Considering the principle of legal certainty, the age requirement ("he had not turned 21 years old" shall not apply to players who played their last match in an official competition ... prior to 18 September 2020, the date the September 2020 amendments entered into force,"

Tomori's only cap came in November 2019. So that means the new rule won't apply to him. He can still switch if he so desires. The NFF can use this angle of the new rule to go after Tomori.

So yes, in a way, via this angle alone.... Tomori is still eligible.

Mancini tried sha won the whole tournament without any great Striker as such

Wan bi Saka!

maidaboi:
LoL

Kane had a decent game IMO. Yes he might not have troubled the Italian backline but his hold up play was effective in bringing other players into the game his role in that first goal can't be ignored. SG truth be told cost them with his negativity. Should have brought Rashford and Grealish on earlier to get at the Azzuris. England still lack that effective midfield controller. If only Scholes was 20 years younger.

daveP:
Kane officially is a poor reader of a high intensity game. EOD.

andrew444:
Belotti should be among the worst player in this tournament including the copa America

relapsti [center][/center] but immobile just had to go and leave up to the meaning of his name in the final mtchhwww

Pain that Di maria bailed your legends ass as usual? ogbeni just enjoy your win and stop gyrating for my front because of a continental trophy that legends like Zidane, Suarez, Ahmed Musa don win tey tey

andrew444:
Debate is over

Keep trolling your self

Last night pain will last you till December for the Ballon d or

You're right on the bold cus Ororo baba is better

andrew444:
