jihday: The reality is that he plays for Crotone, do you expect them to win the Serie A? If Simmy wants to win the league with Crotone he's just daydreaming his biggest and most realistic wish is that they escape relegation. On the face of it he's having a better season than obafemi had.
22 goals in all competitions is not a better season, right?
Noahubspot: Modern-day football is far from how football was played in the 90s and early 2000s. For those singing Simy and Onauchu's praises, I hope say una deh watch football.
Modern-day football is all about PACE, and AGILITY.
Let's shun this myopic behavior of ours, and call a spade a spade, at least for once.
Any ardent football fan will agree to the fact that Simy and Onauchu are light years behind, in terms of modern-day football. These guys are too slow for crying out loud.
Like I said in my previous post;
The top 4 Super Eagles strikers are;
V. Osimhen K. Nacho T. Moffi U. Sadiq
Here's my reason.
V. Osimhen: This guy possesses everything you'd want from a CF. Apart from his SPEED, which I believe is a crucial facet of every successful striker, Osimhen can creates lots and lots of chances for his teammates to bang the goals.
Mind you, he's not a skillful striker, but his PACE, oh my good God...
K. Nacho: Nacho lacks PACE! Yes, I talk am. The boy isn't pacy, but...he's got a tremendous skill set to substitute for that. In his day, he can make scoring fun-filled, I swear. In fact, ask Man Utd fans, I believe they'll have one or more contributions to make.
T. Moffi: He's not a household name, to start with. In short, he's one of those new kids in the block. But hey! This guy got PACE and STRENGTH, coupled with SWEET LEFT-FOOT. Seeing Moffi balling reminds me of one Belgian bulldog, the great Lukaku. Although he's not very tall like the Belgian number 9. But his SHOT on-target is powerful enough to either ends a keeper's career, or shift the goal post.
U. Sadiq: He's the tallest of the 4. But guess what? He's got loads of PACE and SKILLS. Sadiq is a joy to watch.
Simy and Onauchu? I like these 2 guys, but I wouldn't love to have them near the GWG.
My reason(s)?
Simy and Onauchu are damn slow! Forget about the goals. But I can tell for a fact that these 2 guys can not penetrate some very AVERAGE defenders of this world.
Neither Simy nor Onauchu has what it takes to play modern-day football. They lack PACE!
ChrisKels: If you like choke on it. The best ever in a single Series-A season is the much maligned Simmy. Martins had nothing on him, because he(Martins) didn't come anywhere close. You an't change the records oga
Simmy is not yet the best ever striker in Seria a though he has scored 17 goals in all season so far.
If you like scream till thy kingdom come, na you problem be that.
jihday: You as a person who love to pull stat should know Martins 22 goals is because he played more games (UCL), winning a trophy is a team effort not individual how do you expect Crotone to win anything? Going by stat Simy is having a better season than Martins
Is it difficult to read? I said in all season.
More games or not Martins scored 22 goals in all season and won trophy.
So scoring goals is an individual effort? He dribbled all the 11 players on the field and scored the goals, right?
ChrisKels: Though he is the best Nigerian striker ever in a single Serie A season, even ahead of Martins who we all thought was good till Simmy proved us wrong, I still don't rate him(Simmy).
About Sadiq, he is the most dynamic of all out strikers
Best striker ever? I don’t know how you analyze football but I am dam sure you don’t know anything.
Simmy might have scored 17 goals in the Seria A but he is not yet better than Martins in Seria A.
Martins scored 22 goals in all competitions for Inter Millan in a season and won something.
I know you don’t rate Sadiq. All this talk na opportunity to make your point and you have already done it.
12large1: Why should he drop a player that's picture perfect made for Nigeria Style and has scored 5 in 10 goals? My only grouse is that I believe coaches should invite inform players and give them a chance
That has always been my stance here and I hope you can maintain your stance when dem begin call you names.
12large1: I wasn't a fan of Onuachu based on his horrible performance for SE and I'm not just talking about Goals his overall performance for SE was Atrocious prior to his last 2 games. In his last 2 games vs Benin, Lesotho, his overall performance was impressive and he capped it with 2 goals. This is why it's imperative to invite in form players because Confidence can be the difference between 0 goal and 1 goal
His consistency in the Denmark league made me ignore his performance in the SE hence never criticized his performance for once in the gwg.
However, seeing the way he scores goals with ease and then replicating it in the gwg, there’s no doubt he has improved and has got confidence.
Like you rightly said, players should be invited to the national team based on current form.
That has always been my philosophy and stance here from the inception of this thread but some people just believe in calling players into the national team based on man no man.
ChrisKels: If Simmy was Yoruba, Forginess and Kog45 would think I made my take through tribal lines, but no, I have my choice of strikers, unfortunately Simmy doesn't fit in despite his goal scoring exploits
Your view has always been through that lens.
In regards to your choice of Sadiq over Simmy, your personal opinion. It has nothing to do with the reality on ground.
Let Sadiq perform in a better league before we can even compare.
Simmy’s record in second divisions is still far better than Sadiq’s record.
Shma2020: please, if you want us to have a sober conversation drop this childish playact, lies and ignorance.
Where is Abuja island? What is the name? can you show us ? If Lagos has the aforementioned with the hodgepodge of beaches, island, waterfalls, lagoons, rocks etc then where is your stance ? You can have an ocean soaked with human poo, is that beauty? You can have brown ugly beaches blended with igbo's feces is that beauty? How does your brain define beauty...? And If the term appealing is not in your Def then where is your logic?
Sorry my man. The thing shock you because you never expected to see all those landscapes in Abuja. Kkkkk

Aside Weija lake, there is Lakeside, Ashaiman lake, East Legon lake and a few smaller ones
Alright, then. You should know Lagos city is on Islands surrounded by Lakes, Lagoon, and sea. That's the obvious things you see as you approach and enter Lagos.
Foreigners do catch their breath entering Lagos for the first time.
Shma2020: This is the reason why I like this man and vankelvin. They act like real kenyans, no buying of bullsh*t from any country, no fear but pure boldness and believe.
Some zombies here are just afraid of speaking the truth.. Truth is what will set us free so here it is.
For my own personal opinion, Lagos is more developed(infrastructural) than Accra but Accra is slightly cleaner than lagos.
On greenery which I believe is one of the top yardstick for beauty measurements, Accra will triumph over Lagos.
So when we file all the yardsticks in that regard, Lagos will come up on top. Talk of economy, infrastructure, population etc.
Do you have Beaches, Lagoon, Islands, Lakes, etc in Nairobi?
