Why are you scared to say Awoniyi is better than Osimhen then? Just say it so we can arrive at your point and move on.

If Boniface is better than Awoniyi because he is technical then he is better than Osimhen.

oga hide your face in shame and rest. ajagun nko? 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Ajagun career as a black AMF player was successful. From Greece to Eredivisie to Belgium pro league.

I remembered when Awoniyi scored back to back in the Bundesliga then prior to the AFCON, they said he wasn't good enough because Bundesliga is a poor league.

Which factor be that? Me no dey forget easily sometimes ooo.

Same say Ejuke na the best thing since slice but when I told them what I observed in his style of play, dem say na agenda. Dude! I don't play sentiments here.

98% of players I supported on this thread so far have gone ahead to prove themselves.When I talked about Lookman then, dem laugh me die.

I am following that goalkeeper issue here. I still discovered despite his weakness, some people still believe he is the best goalkeeper in Nigeria.

Are they wishing us well?

My point stands. Statically speaking, Taiwo is far above Boniface.

Don't come here and start your propaganda Boniface is better.

If Boniface is better then he's better than Osimhen.

Some hypocrites who didn't rate Bundesliga when Awoniyi was shutting down their mouth have suddenly began to rate Bundesliga because of agenda.

The reason the national team has not achieved beyond its potential.

Long overdue.

If doesn't build a mansion or translates to world class. Make una no dey deceive unaself.

E don tey wey I dey watch football.

zoboizee:
The statement in bold is what have observed about Boniface. Sometimes a simple pass would have given his teammate opportunity to score but instead he would be twisting and turning or just shoot at goal. That's why he has so many shots at goal but mostly off target. He has the abilty to make lot of assist with his skillset. He needs to understand the need to pass the ball when his team mates are free in the box if he his closed down. Against Mozambique, a nod back to Umar would have led to a goal but he chose to tamely nodded to the goalkeeper (we can check Basco's video and any of Bony's highlights). In Leverkusen, they create lot of scoring chances, they are constantly moving into space and releasing the ball. Without him, they will still score lot of goals. But he brings a different dynamics, he is a striker who plays as a 7/8/9/10/11. I believe once Patrick schik is back to full fitness, Boniface will end up on the wings because he lacks that cut edge finishing.

Meaning, he is still improving and not the finished product people want to portray him here.

🤣

Stuttgart, glabach and Wolfsburg has more pedigree in German football than leverkusen? U re truly mad

Na this one show say na yesterday u start to Dey watch ball

U no even mention Hamburg and schalke 04 na monchenglabach and Wolfsburg 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Dey deceive yourself

Marjoribanks:
The interest alone shows the respect he is getting just few matches as a top 9. No matter what happens, Boniface is meant for the top!!

So, you have forgotten Awoniyi was on the book of Liverpool and recently Chelsea wanted him.

Welcome development.

Marjoribanks:
Technically far better! Even Real Madrid is set to dump Mbappe for him. You seriously think that is something to take lightly? Remember, this guy is just 22 years and this season is the first time he is playing as a top 9.

You are being fooled to believe Madrid will dump Mbappe for Boniface.

Recently, my son's team won AMAC competition. One of the coaches in his club scouted him and 6 other players to play for his personal owned club because his own players are overaged.

One player from the original club is very fast and technical but he is a very selfish player. He would rather dribble or shot than pass to the nearest player.

At the end of the competition, he was chosen for national team u15/16 and he won the highest goalscorer of the tournament though missed several glaring chances.

On several occasions, the team were almost knocked out of the competition due to his selfishness but miraculously, they won the tournament.

Back at the main club, he was immediately pulled out or told to keep once he displaces his galala dribbling.

The last league match, the club lost the match because he refused to past on several occasions.

No doubt, he will go up but how far? European football has gone beyond that.

Technical ability is good but in modern football, tactical ability is over everything.

Messi and Ronaldo wear both technical and tactical in their early years but as they grew, they became more tactical.

But most Nigerian thinks technical ability will make you world class player.

Marjoribanks:
Baba let us leave sentiment out of this. Technically only few strikers in the world today are better than Boniface! Facts!
I watched both keenly. There are several times Awo get lost in games due to his limitations but Boni will keep you on the edge of your sit for solid 90 minutes (skills, faints, passes, dribbles, control etc). You will see Boni in different position getting involve in the game as 8/10/9/11/7. No dull moment. Boni is a different kind of beast! Find time to watch him in the Leverkusen team this weekend. Value for money!

Okay. Hence, He is better than Osimhen and Haaland. Let us end it like that.

Some people can make me laugh sha.

Marjoribanks:
I see what you did here!
Cos I listed Osihmen, Iheanacho, Boniface and Awoniyi as the strikers going to AFCON, you intentionally omitted Awoniyi to make it look different from mine. lol!
How could anyone reasonably not list Awoniyi as a sure bet to AFCON if not agender?
Zaidu Sanusi is a sure bet too. At least you now agree, Onyeka is a sure bet. No more Alhassan agender!! lol. You are doing well!

Injury! Injury! My injury! In smiggle's voice. Forgetting my precious Osimhen is also injured.

chrisooblog:
Typical you I knew you would bring out Nottingham Forest winning UCL when you were still in diapers as evidence of how good they are don't deceive yourself e no go work.

As usual you are dey like put chewing gum for your eye when reading other people's post abi you dey sleep when I said Boniface needs to be assessed over a longer time.

I'm not just rating Boniface because of galala dribbling. Victor has scored 9 goals in 10 matches across all competitions and you say na mere dribble we dey use assess am? Broda you need to go for eye check up.

Awoniyi only started scoring double digits league goals consistently over the past two years but agenda don possess you finish you no fit talk

Wash.

Leverkusun is not a top club in Bundesliga. Gbam.

Leverkusun never win shingbin league. Gbam.

You said Boniface is better than Awoniyi because he is more technical. What is technical if not galala dribbling?

Boniface 9 goals in 10 matches including other competitions but Awoniyi goals in other competitions are irrelevant. See hypocrite.

Abeg! How many double digit league goals Boniface don score in his entire career?

Is Nigeria the only country relying on oil? How come other countries rely on oil and are still better off?
Tinubu removed subsidy. Which other subsidy You talking about
Nigeria is rich. It is govt looters that send propagandists to tell us we're poor.

Because they produce more than us and lesser population.

Kog45:
Haha Nottingham Forest two champions league cup…..baba forgiveness you no go kill person here o

Nothing concern me with wetin Nottingham forest won, I was just pointing out Bayern Leverkusun is not a top club per say.

charlesemeka85:
Leverkusen is not a top club? 😳

You can’t list top 5-6 clubs in German football with rich history and followership without Bayer 04 making the list

Purge yourself of ignorance

Really!?

Bayern Munich
Dortmund
VfB Stuttgart
Wolf burg
Borussia Mönchengladbach

Make your list.

O4 never win shingbin league in their entire history.

Kog45:
Sir Chris,are you also implying Boniface is way ahead of Osimhen technically

Yes, na. Hence Boniface is head and shoulders ahead of Osimhen.

mrvitalis:
Is hope you can read? Read that criteria again read what you wrote

Edun doesn't even have PhD mere MSC holder
Majority of his experience is micro economics

Am sure you don't even know the difference between Macro and micro economics

Read the criteria again this time slowly

Edun met 2 out of 3. Stop lying.

chrisooblog:
Controversial Forgiveness I've almost missed you

Now based on eye test Boniface is talent wise and ability ahead of Awoniyi. Victor's technical ability on the same ball is clear for all to see. If
you're talking longevity and experience yes you can give it to Taiwo but it's only of recent over the past 2-3 years that Awoniyi has found his scoring boots.

Now as per playing at highest level yes EPL is bigger but the difference is not like day and night. Boniface plays for Leverkusen a top level German side involved in European competition. Nottingham Forest with due respect to them are a modest side. I can't say because you're doing well at Everton you are now better than someone top striking for Dortmund using EPL rating as excuse.

The only plausible argument you have is Boniface needs to be assessed over a longer period of time to see if he's the real deal but my brother based on what I've used my korokoro eye to see Victor has outstanding talent way ahead of Taiwo.

Yes, based on eye test after surgery, Boniface is better than Osimhen too. Even pass Haaland because he can dribble like Maradona. You're right my none controversial brother.

In football, consistency takes you to the highest level but from your own perspective, talent wise without consistency determines who is bettter.

Point of correct, Taiwo has scored double digit goals from 2017/2018 season till date save 2019/2020 when he was loaned to Mainz and 2020/2021 when he was out due to injury. That was on the run of 5 goals and 3 assist. Which 3 or 4 years are you talking about? Do your mathematics well.

Lastly, Union Berlin finished top 4 last season ahead of Leverkusun and we know Taiwo played for that same team prior to that season.

Besides, Leverkusun no bi top club until they win the league. Nottingham forest has more laurel than Leverkusun.

Your koroko eyes no correct.

Oga humility,longtime o…pls let’s always off this mic that always lead healthy discourse to tribal coloration…..TheSuperNerd and forgiveness discourse is a pure football talking points so let’s us contribute if we wish and enjoy the thread.

You can see I ignored the mofo. He has shown his true color. He doesn't rate Awoniyi. Simply and short.

The argument no bi today. It was long before he went to Belgium. Most of them don't see good in him but me see am and defended him as at then when AWONIYI WAS NOBODY TO THEM. Dhame catch many of them seeing him do well in Bundesliga and later in EPL.

They were actually disappointed he is doing well in the EPL because they were lamenting he wasn't good enough to have joined Nottingham forest.

Now, they have seen another player who just came to limelight this season in top 5 league and they believe he is even better than Taiwo. Tueh!

Now, it's about eye test. I no fool u know.

The point is, they watch ball with sentiments. I don't do that.

Kog45:
Oga forgiveness,posts here are personal opinions and not official and reason we disagreed to agree,barring any injury Awo is making Afcon cuz the two friendlies showed he is relevant and only a real cover for Osimhen based on Peseiro style of play….am seeing Osimhen,Boniface,Awoniyi,Iheanacho and if it’s four CFs then Moffi is making it.

Well, perspective differs. You're right sir.

Bearing any injury, Taiwo stands a better chance than other strikers. He is currently playing at the highest level.

Anyway, me no bi God.

TheSuperNerd:
You still haven't picked.

I no dey pick anything.

typicalgamer:
Omo if na by mouth sha, Watin we for don do france 🇫🇷 🤣

When i lost hope on this forum was earlier this year, when folks here were seriously downplaying Morocco miraculous run, like come on man those guys piggy backed the entire continent of Africa

Then one illiterate came and say we lost to Portugal because it was a friendly match, and Morocco did nothing spectacular.

I nearly faint i was so freaking triggered enh like woah 🤯

Kkkkkkkkkkk. Patriotism dey worry us sometimes. That's why we don't see from a realistic point of view but through sentiments.

Osimhen get injure but em go go while Taiwo get injury em no go go. Nna mehnn!!!!!!

TheSuperNerd:
Okay, Forgiveness and the rest of the house... kindly answer this honestly and to the best of y'all ball knowledge.

Based on player profiles and personnel synergy, who among these CF options look the best to pair Osimhen up top? Take into account the various tactical variations and their contributions to the 2nd phase plays.

- Kelechi Iheanacho
- Taiwo Awoniyi
- Victor Boniface
- Sadiq Umar
- Terem Moffi


Note: I don't even expect the same answers coz ball knowledge levels differ and perspectives on why some pick A or B would sound legit.

Let the coach decides but if it's about using the best strikers, there's no way Taiwo will not be considered above the rest.

The friendlies gave clue to how JP wants to play. Iheancho not considered as striker to him.

Sadiq not in form.

Moffi looks lost for now.

Victor not bad but behind Taiwo for sure.

JP will decide.

TheSuperNerd:
Taiwo is injured. Even missed the last Internationals. Don't you understand? He is working his way back. Jpes always calls up 4 strikers not so? Sometimes 5 if we count Iheanacho.
I only listed 3 in the 100% certain 18. Doesn't that mean at most 2 CFs will make it to complete the other slots? A fit Awo will definitely make it but as things stand, Boniface is looking more and more like the guy to pair Osimhen in Jpes' preferred 442.

Tu comprends?

“Taiwo is progressing well. He’s not far off some training, so let’s see how the next week goes, going into the game after Saturday,” Cooper was quoted by nottinghampost.com.

Tu comprehens.

How would i list competent person there are certain criteria for having a good minister of finance n cbn governor

Person should at least have a PhD n minimum of 10 years experience in macro economics (not micro economics)

Have a minimum of 10 years developmental economics policy formulations

Should at least have work experience with international monetary policy agencies like IMF, world Bank, AFDB and the rest

This 3 conditions have never been met by anyone appointed by APC

Only the present CBN governor has met 1 criteria and that's just the first one

I know u know nothing about economics/management let alone macro /developmental economics to understand this things

Wale Edun meets 2nd and 3rd criteria. Stop lying. Somebody wey co-founded a bank, worked with world bank, was commissioner of finance etc doesn't have experience in economic policy formulation, abi?


The job of the two-term Commissioner for Finance in Lagos State between 1999 and 2007 seems to be cut out for him. With a Bachelor’s Degree in Economics from the University of London, a Master’s in Economics from the University of Sussex, England, has achieved remarkable success in the financial sector at local and international levels.
Edun worked at the World Bank/IFC where he handled economic and financial packages for several countries in Latin America and the Caribbean, including the Dominican Republic, Trinidad, Indonesia, and India in the Far East. However, his new task of managing an economy with virtually all the economic fundamentals precipitously heading south requires extraordinary measures. Inflation is at an 18-year high, the local currency is completely battered, debt service obligations have reached unprecedented levels while revenue generation is abysmally low. With an additional responsibility to coordinate the economy, he is expected to quickly gravitate towards some framework for policy coordination with the monetary authorities. Focus should be how to navigate the economy away from dire straits, tame inflation, boost revenue and instil cost-cutting measures/wastages in public service.


Now, that meet your requirements, do you still have others others you would like to present?

TheSuperNerd:
Kaaaai.... understanding in this instance shouldn't be so hard. Right now, Taiwo Awoniyi isn't guaranteed a spot until he returns. Boniface is definitely heading to the Afcon. That is the reality.

18 places are assured so far. We still have about 8-10 slots to go. Or are you not confident Awo will easily get any of the other slots? The CF dept will see another CF picked aside the ones listed so far as 100% assured barring injuries.

Everything shouldn't be competition to you. Understand the context.

Right now, as if Taiwo is doing nothing this season in epl. Okay. I understand very well now. He is not doing anything with 3 goals and 2 assists in 7 matches in epl the best league in the world. Okay. I understand now.

Because you are ignorant doesn't change reality.

Businessday Nigeria.

10 years of economic policy formulation with Lagos state the biggest economy in Nigeria and sub saharan Africa.

10 years experience of economic policy formulation with world bank, etc. What else?

I will still burst your lies about Wale Edun. See the next page.
