Simy Nwankwo is now on 20 goals + 4 assists in Serie B. Top scorer by two goals now pending when his closest goals rival's team play later today. In the next couple of minutes actually.

And his Crotone side at cruising home to Victory. 5-1 away with 75 mins on the clock.

Simy is on his way to Serie A.
Even though, I don't really like this guy, I gotta admit, his stats are impressive, I won't raise an eyebrow if he gets invited sometime in the future as he continues with his form into the Serie A.

That's not my definition of patriotism.

So you will not vote for the best goal, but just vote for KC or Ndidi.

You have a different measurement for excellence which is based on favoritism and bias.
Sometimes, it's the patriotism that counts and nothing else, this is one of those times, this is to show them that I've got their backs, if they get only one vote, it's me who voted them.

Maybe you skipped where some people were saying Iheanacho is better than Gabby and maybe you've made up your mind that komek.n shouldn't be taken seriously because you don't always agree with him even though some of his assertions are questionable because I believe Awaziem was tremendous in the Afcon and was my best player against SA second to chukwueze only

Besides that though
No striker literally only passes backwards or sideways when marked so I don't know why it's been taken literally in Nacho's case but more often than not he does passes backwards and sideways compared with Gabby
I don't think anyone in explicit terms attered what you highlighted in bold. What I saw that most people do was state that if Nacho was still at city he'd have better numbers than Jesus, some came with stats to support their stand.

Three English clubs have been handed a boost in their pursuit of Bright Osayi-Samuel after discovering that the Nigerian-born winger has put the brakes on a proposed move to Belgian champions Club Brugge.

Football Insider says the Queens Park Rangers dazzler's transfer to Club Brugge has collapsed amid interest from Leicester City, Brighton & Hove and Fulham.

The Hoops gave the green light to Osayi-Samuel to travel to Belgium to undergo a medical but the Nigerian opted against heading to Bruges.

The 22-year-old is expected to be named in Queens Park Rangers' matchday squad in their final match of the 2019-2020 season at West Brom this evening, and will make a decision on his future at the end of the season.

Osayi-Samuel was left out of Rangers squad against Millwall on Saturday because a transfer to Club Brugge was on the cards.

He won two accolades at QPR's end of season awards; the Kiyan Prince Goal of the Season for his brilliant strike against Birmingham City and Daphne Biggs Supporters' Young Player of the Year award, which he retained having won it last season.
Nonsense!!

He should be headed where he gets to play in Europe where he'd be showcasing his talents to a wider audience, but he wants to remain in his comfort zone.

E no concern me sha, I don't even Rate him.

I don't have any business protecting English players who see Nigeria as a second option. Are you guys ok , at all ?
I'm okay man!

Whether you like it or not, any player with dual nationality turns up for us when they are not good enough for their resident/birth country. Until our local league is high in standards we'd be looking to getting those who see us as 2nd options.

This is not the right attitude to have over players who still has a lot to give. You just don't write off a player just because they are not playing at their best. And , if you perchance think these guys like Mikel Agu , Azubike and Nwakali are done they you are quite ignorant.
But, but, you consistently write off players with an English background.

Mumble jumble of suggestive nonsense.

You jump from one topic without conclusion and then you anchor yourself on your own self created assumption.

With regards to managers comments they should be taken with a pinch of salt. When the managers views and comments do not converge with commensurate actions.

With regards to KC Brendan Rogers is saying in one hand that KC is an excellent player bla bla and all kinds of accolades. But never plays him, what does that say to anybody very clearly , who has common sense of deduction.huh

Now you compare that to a Manager who eulogises about a player and is playing the player constantly at every opportunity even when not fully fit.

That player in a playoff game scores two goals and they win the game and his team are in the final for a play off place. In the final he gets them a penalty and they go on to win, how perfomances instrumental to thier victories.

And you want to rubbish him, buy why, to what purpose.

For you information 23 year old Fred Onyedinma started playing in the Championship at the age of 16 and indeed got his first MOTM award as a teenager.

He has played 4 seasons in the Championship and has had 7 years of first team football.

He has been wanted by a plethora of EPL clubs in the past.

And you are saying why didn't l talk about Nnamdi and l asked you why you didn't talk about Akinfenwa.

If you don't know the common sense answer go back and read my posts with regard to players.

And if you still can't fathom why ask other people on this thread to explain to you, who have used common sense to deduce my consistent approach to players appraisal.
I've forgotten you personify everything dense, reason why it'd be a challenge for you making sense out of my
detailed rebuttal of the trash you spilled pages ago.

You say Rodgers never plays Nacho? You gonna come up with a context argument I know that right? Well, Rodgers has proven to be a lucid definition of bad decisions, evidences of such is all out for everyone to see.

Congratulations to Fred for his contribution to the team's progress, but while he was away, there were others who made sure they secured a play-off position for Fred to shine in.

Those with common sense in your dictionary are those who lick your balls, I won't do that, I'd be here shinning light on your hypocritical disposition.

By the time Osimhen eventually signs for Napoli and the time comes for him to make a move elsewhere, I trust Napoli's President to frustrate both him, his agent and the teams who'd be interested in signing him.

[quote author=komekn post=91846804]
Why would we talk about Nnamdi when the topic of discussion is Fred Onyedinma, can you explain Oga 2 know.
Exactly, it's Onyedinma who's the most important player, hence, when Wycombe is talked about you bring up his name, it's as if the rest of his teammates are just bunches of planks. Mind you, Ofoborh scored in the playoffs as well.


You just jumped in to allege and denigrate you can't even restrain yourself.

And back to you, why did you not talk about Akinfenwahuh ❓ Should l not say you are being tribalistic, if l had your level of reasoning.
Tribalistic? Is there even a word like that? Do you even know if I'm Yoruba? Eh? Didinri?

Thankfully l dont so l cannot jump to that conclusion.

I will leave you with two screenshots for you to read (one by his manager) and reset your parochial view that's blinded with emotive prejudice
Did Wycombe struggle when he was absent for 4 months? You were the same person who said we shouldn't take what managers say to the press seriously when Nacho was involved, why should I now?

Before you can say a player has such influence on the team's performance, you have to prove that he has been consistently performing being the best player for the team, playing week in, week out.

Sunday Mba scored goals that handed us the 2013 Afcon title can we attribute all accolades to him, in spite of the likes of Enyeama, Omuero, Emenike, Mikel, Moses and the rest?

Emotive prejudice, parochial, certifiable, experiential, sentimental, dogs-abuse and the rest; a brotherly advise from me, update your vocabulary, you've been boring for far too long now.

It's good to look before you leap. Do you really think that l will just to tell lies, to what purpose.

There are things l know from first hand involvement that become news much later, which is what most people rely on here.

But before you do you should know that Holloway was the Manager at Millwall when both Onyedinma and Eze were at Millwall. When he left to be Manager at QPR he made a clear and open offer for Onyedinma. Who was very hot property AT THAT TIME.

He felt betrayed by Neil the new Manager at Millwall who is a quintessential English kick and rush, blood and guts manager. It was so bad Onyedinma very unprecedented, refused to ever play for Millwall.

He went lower stopped to conquer and has effectively brought Wycombe Wanderers to the Championship from league one. He was also Injured since October 4 months out.
How come someone who has been injured for the past 4 months effectively bring the team to the Championship?

Nnamdi Oforboh is there, but, you won't say much about him because he has played for one of our youth teams.

I want you to review what you said about Martia in the bold.

Then you guys will accuse me of bias, what actually is happening is anytime a person does not get euphoric and over hype our players it's defined as bias and prejudice.

But back to Martial he is still very young just 3 years older than Victor. But with 7 years of top flight football experience. He is the modern day forward playing as a winger and or striker indeed what you have now with Rashford, Martial and Greenwood is interchangeable play all can play wing.

These players dont play with everything going through one player as the focal point of all attacks. That is essentially the experience of Victor.

In addition these three players are adapt at striking with both feet and technically astute. That's not a strength of Victor.

But back to Martial 30 EPL games and 17 goals this season and counting and that's why you call inconsistency.

Victor exploits in French League one will not give him any advantage over the existing strikers. He does not bring something different and or better.

This is where Ighalo has an advantage he brings hold up play and physicality with presence when they need to get rough and fight for a result.

What will Victor bring that they don't already have. Is it speed he is not faster than the current first choice three, he is not more technical and you may wish to disagree he is not better.

I remember Falcao very experienced proven and quality striker from the French league, ended up crying like a baby in Manchester United.

He is even better going to Tottenham but his best option if he has not spoiled that option is too quickly go to Napoli.

Going back to Lille with the players they have bought and sold. May see his value drop dramatically because they would have studied his game and he will not have the same support in the team he had this season.
I agree. No space for him at UTD.

We saw him at the U-17 WC. Also saw him at the Wafu qualifying tournament for the U-17 Afcon and then at the U-17 Afcon. The lad really got mightily huge potentials.
Hopefully he grows into them at Salzburg. A fine addition to our pool of quality young football lads in Europe.
I never had the opportunity to watch the lad play, seems he really impressed with the team.
