Joebie:
The fact is that Onyekuru's market value has been on the rise and has eclipsed Simon in a very short time (since he started playing in the Jupiler league). Simon's MV has been rather stagnant for the MOST PART since he's been playing in the Jupiler league. I will have to question your ability to read a graph if you disagree with me.

Clubs don't work with your inconsequential graph. They work with cash and carry.


If Henry Onyekuru worths 7 million whatever, now let it sink into you that Simon Moses will not even go for 8. 3 million whatever.

I will have to question your ability to open and read web address if you disagree with me. Mboko!

If the Brazilian - Nigerian Descent player is not good why some club wan buy am?

When I heard Nigerian Brazilian Football player, my appetite for him was instance because he has played in the Brazilian league and must have learned the swagger.

If he gets a buyer in the EPL and scores in January then I will give him my pass mark to the world Cup.

tbaba1234:
Yet, Onyekuru already has more goals in that short spell.

The bone of contention still remains that Simon Moses has achieved more than Onyekuru. Period.

All these grammars and corner corner way no fit change that fact. Thank you.

tbaba1234:
Yet, Onyekuru already has more goals in that short spell.

Morata could have more goals than Hazard but we know the best.

Moreover, Simon Moses has played in more than matches in different games.

joseph1013:
Football is about present form. Taking the last three years as a whole, Onyekuru has performed better clubwise.

Look at the game against PSG, Simon's has not had that kind of game in the CL yet.

In the last three years!?

Onyekuru was in Belgium pro league 2nd tier three seasons ago when Simon Moses fought for the league titles (came second) and played in Belgium FA cup finals just two seasons before this.

Please, take note that Simon Moses helped them to win that FA cup with an assist for the only goal of that match.

It was only last season we started hearing about Onyekuru. This season has not finished yet.

Who told you he has not had that kind of game?
Did you watch Simon Moses played in the Champions League?

Ola Aina, Mikels, Awoniyi, Simon Named To Nigerian Team Of The Week


Published: October 23, 2017


Team of the Week : Allnigeriasoccer.com runs the rule on the Nigerian players that impressed the most in the leagues this past weekend.

Goalkeeper

Daniel Akpeyi (Chippa United): The Super Eagles goaltender has been imperious between the sticks for the Chilli Boys and helped them to a 2-1 win over Cape Town City in the ABSA Premiership on Sunday.

After posting a clean sheet in his last outing against Maritzburg United, the Olympic bronze medallist was breached once this time but ensured his side went home with all three points.

Defenders

Ola Aina(Hull City): Aina was on parade for Hull City as Fraizer Campbell's 78th minute goal consigned Barnsley to their sixth defeat of the season in a tight encounter at the Oakwell stadium.

Aina had been ever present at the backline for the The Tigers this season and once again repaid the faith shown on him with an impeccable showing to keep Barnsley at bay.

Felix Uduokhai (Wolfsburg): The German-Nigerian defender had just about pipped the duo of Bursaspor's William Troost-Ekong and Standard Liege's Uche Agbo to a berth here after his stoppage time header had helped salvage a point for Wolfsburg against Hoffenheim in a 1-1 draw.

The 20-year-old connected superbly with a Daniel Didavi's cross to head past Baumann and pull his side level at the death, cancelling out Kieran Demirby's penalty effort.

Chidozie Awaziem (Nantes):The Nigeria international got off the mark in the French top-flight as Claudio Ranieri’s men eased to a comfortable 2-1 win against Guingamp at the Stade de la Beaujoire.

The defender put his side in front nine minutes in,putting in some gut-wrenching defending while going the full ninety as well.

Tyronne Ebuehi (Ado Den Haag): Tyronne Ebuehi was at his defensive best as Ado Den Haag returned to winning ways with a scintillating 2-0 win away to VV-Venlo in the Holland Eredivisie.

The 21-year-old was in action for the entire duration of the game,helping his side's rearguard to nullify the attacking threats of the opposition as Alfons Groenendijk's men recorded their fourth win in nine games.

Midfielders

Mikel Agu (Bursaspor): Agu went the entire duration of the game in the goalless draw against Sivasspor, putting in a good performance in the middle of the park though they could only muster a stalemate.

The Porto loanee was brilliant as usual for the Green Crocodiles and even went on a few goal-ward forays. He was cautioned in the 59th minute for his troubles.

Mikel John Obi (Tianjin Teda): The Super Eagles skipper was yet again influential for the Tianjin Tigers as they ran out comfortable winners over Beijing Guoan in the Chinese Super League on Sunday.

The much-needed win was their fifth of the season and it barely managed to lift the Uli Stielike-led side onto 14th on the 16-team log.

Wilfred Ndidi (Leicester): Ndidi put in a classy display for the Foxes as they recorded just their second win of the season in a 2-1 win over Swansea City at the Liberty Stadium on Saturday.

The tenacious midfielder was diligent in his tackling,breaking up play and regaining possession brilliantly for Mike Appleton's men as they toppled the Swans in Wales.

Strikers

Moses Simon (Gent) : In the Belgian topflight, Super Eagles winger Moses Simon struck his first league goal for Gent in a 1-1 draw with Kortrijk on Saturday.

The 22-year-old put the Buffaloes upfront in the 60th minute after some silky footwork but the lead was short-lived as Kortrijk came roaring back through Herve Kage’s 76th minute equaliser as both sideswere forced to share spoils.

Odion Ighalo (Changchun Yatai) : Ighalo had been simply impressive for his Chinese side after another awe-inspiring display in a 3-1 win over Jiangsu Suning in a Chinese Super League encounter.

The Super Eagles striker helped himself to a goal and an assist as the Changchun side steamrolled to another victory. It was the Nigeria international's 15th goal of the league season.

Taiwo Awoniyi (Royal Excel Mouscron): The Liverpool loanee was on target but could not prevent his side from falling to a 3-1 home defeat to Standard Liege.

The 20-year-old striker had pulled his side level with his 49th minute effort after Sebastian Locigno early opener but further goals from Orlando Sá and Edmilson Junior left his team reeling.

For the youngster, it was his fifth goal in ten appearances for the Belgian side.

Mickael2:
No offence to you but you are embarrasing yourself really. The Ebony shoe award is for the best African and Moses Simon wasn't even the best African in the belgian league but here you are telling us that he single-handedly won the league for Gent, I mean as far as crazy comments go, this has to be up there.


Please show me where Moses Simon single-handedly won the belgian league for Gent

It's still on record that Simon Moses was the second best African at one time in the Belgium pro league. Ntor!

If you like play ignorance.




Since coming to Belgium from AS Trencin of Slovakia he has only failed to score in four games from the 10 he has played in at Gent.

The newly capped Super Eagle forward has also being nominated for the Ebony Shoe award given to the best player of Africa origin in Belgium.

Simon has so far picked up six man of the match award from the 10 games he has played and only missed being listed in the team of the week just thrice.

http://www.sl10.ng/news/articles/Category/nigeria-players-abroad/moses-simon-back-to-scoring-ways-in-belgium/205957?next=true


MOTM 6 times out of 10 games (arguably the best Gent player in those games)
Team of the week 7 times out of 10 in the whole Belgium pro league.

Mickael2:
He single-handedly won the belgian league? I guess he can leap like an antelope and run like a gazzete as well

Moses Simon: We Will Lift The Title
Gent Striker Moses Simon Eyes League Title After Losing Out On Ebony Shoe Award

Default
By SL10 - May 14, 2015 12:01 PM

Gent forward Moses Simon has put behind the disappointment of losing the Ebony Shoe award to French-Congolese forward Neesken Kebano of Charleroi.

The 19-year-old finished second ahead of another Congolese player, Chancel Mbemba, who plays for Anderlecht. But the agony of losing the award has being brush aside by the petit forward and he now has his sights fixed on the potential title deciding clash against Club Brugge.



"Sunday's game at Club Brugge is crucial. I feel it's more important than the other matches. We go to there to win. I am not dreaming about it, I believe we can win and lift the title," he told SL10.ng.

"Presently we have an 80% chance of lifting the trophy and we have to make it count.”

Simon is expected to fly directly to Germany after the game to join up with the Nigeria Under-20 team who are presently in camp ahead of the World Youth Championship in New Zealand.

2nd place. No bi moi moi.

tbaba1234:
How many years ago was this? After his only good season.

How much is he worth now?

Look up.

Mickael2:
this was how many years ago?

Didn't you read what is there? They used it to scare away clubs, even a fool wouldn't pay 5mil for Moses Simon.

Check the name of the site you just quoted, please provide a reliable source. 20million for Moses Simon? Nothing I won't hear

Brighton have £8.4m bid for Spurs and Liverpool target Moses Simon rejected by Gent as they want £13m for winger


updated 17:18 12 Jul 2017


Brighton have had an £8.4million bid turned down for Gent winger Moses Simon.

The Nigeria international has been tracked by Tottenham, Liverpool and West Bromwich Albion in recent months but Brighton have made their move only for Gent to value him at £13m.


Simon, who turned 22 on Wednesday, impressed Tottenham when he played against them in the Europa League in February and also drew attention from other Premier League sides.

Brighton have seen a bid for winger Moses Simon (left) rejected by Belgian side Gent

He has 11 caps and scored five goals in 38 appearances from the wing at Gent last season.

The Seagulls have made three signings so far this summer, snapping up Mathew Ryan, Josh Kerr and Pascal Gross ahead of their debut Premier League campaign.

Chris Hughton's side confirmed promotion by finishing second in the Championship last season.

Simon scored five goals in 38 appearances for Gent in all competitions last season

tbaba1234:
Granted, Simon first season was great but he has not built on that at the club level.

Onyekuru has built on his progress last year and is now being courted by major clubs. Onyekuru goals were crucial, saved Eupen from relegation.

In the last couple of seasons, Onyekuru has been better.

Which season?

How was Onyekuru in the second tier of Belgium pro league?

This is Onyekuru's second season and it's not over yet.

This is Simon Moses' second and half season in Belgium pro league.

Who told you Simon Moses is not being courted by major clubs?

His club doesn't want him to go hence the heavy price tag placed on him else he for don go Monaco.

The point is, Simon Moses has achieved more than Onyekuru times ten. Cefini.

Mickael2:

He is worth 4.5million, only God knows where you got 20million.

His 16 assists is in how many seasons kwanu? Check their productivity ration AKA goals/assists to games ratio

Gent Place Hefty Price Tag On Simon


Gent Place 20 Million Euros Price Tag On Moses Simon


Gent have placed a hefty 20 million-pound price tag on their Nigeria wonder kid Simon Moses, according to manager Michael Louwagie.

While reacting to stories about Moses leaving the club in the summer, the manager admits a bid around what it cost Everton to price Marouane Fellaini will be good enough to tempt them into selling.

"Initially, I want to scare the clubs that way," said Louwagie to Nieuwsblad.

"But actually that amount is not excessive. The English teams won't be shock at that amount.

"Moreover Marouane Fellaini was sold for over twenty million, Why won't Moses be worth that amount?.

Simon has taken the league in Belgium by storm getting picked 6 times in the Belgium league team of the week in the ten games he has played since his move from AS Trencin of Slovakia.

Despite only joining the team in January, the 19-year-old has been nominated for the Ebony Shoe award given to the best player of Africa origin in the Belgium league.

His fine form has not gone unnoticed by Nigeria's national team selectors, as he was capped twice at senior level in Nigeria's last two friendly games against Uganda and South Africa.

Also he is among a list of 35 players who will battle it out for a spot in Nigeria's 21-man squad for the Under-20 World Cup in New Zealand later this year.

This is just Simon Moses 2nd full season though before then he spent half a season to singlehandedly won the Belgium pro league.

His goals and assists were crucial and got trophies.

zicky:
Ogar it's not everything we argue this is onyekuru 2nd season in top flight football and the guys worth is raising very fast, it's a shame to even compare him with Simon who has been in the league for a longer period

This is just Simon Moses 3rd season in top flight football and he has achieved more than Onyekuru.

Joebie:
yea.. even before then he played in the Regionalliga West

He didn't play in Regionalliga West competitively even before then. He played there only twice to regain fitness

He majorly competed in the Bundusliga and bundesliga concurrently from 2010 - 2017.

He last played competitively in Regionalliga West 2008 - 2009 when he was btw 20 - 21 years old.

Mickael2:
Achieved in which aspect?

Onyekuru is more expensive.
Onyekuru has more assists.
Onyekuru has won the highest goalscorer in his league.
Onyekuru has appeared in a champions league game.

I mean I don't want to bring down Simon Moses but Onyekuru is far far far far far far far far far far far far far far far far far far far far far far far far far far far far far far far far ahead of him

Hahahahahah!

Kante was the best player in EPL but he wasn't the highest goal score neither the player with most assists.

However, how much is Onyekuru worth? 8 million euros only. Simon Moses price tag is 20 million euros.

The difference is clear.

Simon Moses has 16 assists (I did not count his assists in other leagues) while Onyekuru has only 11 assists.

Onyekuru did not win the highest goalscorer in the league.

Simon Moses has played in the Champions League and Europa League.

What has Onyekuru achieved than Simon?

Joebie:
Balogun was in Bundesliga 2 when we first started showing him interest. They come like that and we like it. Akpoguma welcome back. Our radar now set on you.

He was in the Bundusliga a year before.

ChrisKels:
And you want people to take you seriously? Has Simon, throughout his stay in Europe, been able to achieve half of what Henry has achieved in a short while in the same Europe? Dude makes headlines week in week out in Europe unlike Simon yet u had the temerity to question his popularity (fame). See the calibre of teams struggling for his signature while your Simon couldn't secure a move to a team as poor as Brighton and hove Albion. Dude are you for real?

Onyekuru turned down PSG after medicals to sign for Everton.
Arsenal wanted him badly until Wenger factor reared its ugly head again, which they might live to regret.
Presently Athletico Madrid and Juventus are locked in a tog of war for his signature.

His exploits and transfer rumours come mainly from renowned international sites unlike Simon's that always emanates from ANS.

Simon is a turnover machine, stop-and-run without effective end product.

Henry exudes confidence, plays with guile, cuts in to good effect, a threat in goal, fleet footed and very unpredicted, little wonder big teams keep queuing up for him. I love cerebral wingers like Henry. Musa and Simon are anything but cerebral wingers.

Simon tracks backs, good, but he doesn't do jack going forward which is his primarily assignment as a winger. Onyekuru can track back too and still bail himself out with his pace and daring style of play. He is young, no doubt but he is head and shoulders above Musa and Simon currently.

What has Henry Onyekuru achieved in Europe than Simon Moses?

I think it's other way round.

Has Henry Onyekuru through out his career in Europe, able to achieve what Simon Moses has achieved in his short while?

Answer me with facts, please.

TheGoodJoe:
Please we are talking of Onazi today and not Leicester days.

Good that you agreed else....

Even Leicester is a relegation candidate team. Nothing special for now.

TheGoodJoe:
I agree with us having little room for experiments in the Algeria game. The game would have been a good opportunity to test players with potentials of breaking into the Super Eagles but with the Argentine game on the horizon, we need to begin our World Cup preparation with the Algerian game, some how look at it more like a Grade A friendly. We field our strongest line-up in preparation for the Argentine game.

I feel this is our most balanced and strongest line-up.

https://img.startingeleven.co.uk/usr/a/59ec5dcbe58fc.jpg

I pick Ndidi over Onazi because I do not think Onazi can displace Ndidi in a club like Leicester City. Mikel Obi playing a deeper role will give us more defensive balance and also give him more time on the ball to dictate play.

Iwobi in AMF will orchestrate the play of the attackers with his incisive passes and with his new dimension in his work rate can help support the defence when we are under pressure.

The success of this set-up against Algeria will determine us using it against the Argentines.

Can you compare the Lazio of Onazi days with Leicester of Ndidi days?

Can Ndidi play for Lazio of his days even of these this days?

Kog45:
Ekong has form a great partnership with Balogun and it w take a great form from any CB to displace him,Awaziem is showing a good form and if he can replicate it in eagles, it w be a straight fight between him and Ekong in starting XI.

Elderson still a player to reckon with base on experience but when it comes to football display he is losing it.The LB position is open for grabbed but we need to see what Aina and others have to offer,until then d position still belong to Echiejele.

Simeon Moses,honestly i don't rate him coz i always see him as average player but hardworking.Iwobi displayed against Zambia showed that Simeon w definitely find it hard to start ahead of him.

Also Oyekwuru is a talented player waiting on d wing,his performance against PSG proved that he has something to offer,not forgetting experience Ahmed Musa but his club situation has worsening things for him,hope he get another club and rediscover himself.

Definitely Iwobi sure starter now left for Simeon Moses, Ahmed Musa,Oyekwuru to show who is better.

Against Zambia, the coach had a game plan to keep things tidy in the first half and wear out the Zambians before he changed the tactics in the second half by attacking from the flanks with Iwobi.

Iwobi was not doing what Simon Moses was doing because Iwobi drifted into the midfield when Shehu attacked from the flanks while Simon attacked and defended at the same time without any support from the wing backs. .

You can see that that was the first time Shehu bursted across the half line to setup a cross.

It was the game plan and not necessarily abracadabra of Iwobi.

About Simon Moses being an average player, I will answer in due time.

komekn:
Did you watch the game.

How did you find the intensity and speed of the game

Average. I agree, these two teams will struggle in the Championship.

Felix-uduokhai rescued a point with a glancing header into the corner of the net.

ChrisKels:
Omeruo is doomed. While he is giving below average performances in Turkey, his replacement is pulling it big in France. Keep soaring Awaziem!!!!

This guy has the best advisors. Did u know he turned down Liverpool to join Nantes because he understands the importance of playing opportunities?

I saw part of that match Omeruo team lost against Eto and Sam Nasiri. Somehow they were one man down and these two guys were tormentor in chief.

Kog45:
I purposely raised this coz some are ready to sacrifice Nacho and Ighalo for him and his rating on this thread is awesome.

It is Kayode that has been sacrificed for him.

Tiago Ilori and Sone Aluko started for Readings against Sheffield United. Sone came off in the 66 minutes while Tiago Ilori lasted the duration of the match. The match ended 2:1 in favor of United.

Josh Onomah was on from start to finish for Aston Villa in their 2:1 victory against Fulham. He spare-headed the team from the Amf position.

The new kid in town, Aina saw the game through in their slim win away from home against Barnsley. Fikayo Tomori watched the match from the bench.

Kog45:
Pls what can u say about Nwakaeme in Israeli league this season.

Zero goal in the Isreali league

Kog45:
Thank u.The issue here is this,am always agape sometimes when people always contradict themselves,i don't expect anyone that go against IK Uche, Martins to support Efe Ambrose invitation.

Honestly they are Nigerian and eligible for invitation, if Rohr believe in them no issue but d question is do we need them in d national team.

If these players are doing better than what we have, why not give them the chance to prove themselves.

This is what Rohr has to learn from Conte. Change of tactics and formation in a course of a game. In addition, proper substitution and to identify players able to play multiple roles.

When Conte realised his 3-4-3 formation was completely neutralized by Watford and was very vulnerable to Watford's constant attack/pressure, he changed the formation to 4-4-2. Immediately, the impact was felt and Watford puzzled.

Before then, he yanked out Morata and brought on Batshuayi because the former struggled against the physicality of Watford defence. That takes guts to remove your most potent striker for the unwanted.

Rohr should try out different formations during our friendlies and check how efficient some players who we assume play multiple roles.

Mickael2:
I don't complain too much about it because we share the same ideology. You can start a debate about the NPFL, I will keep quiet because I don't know too much about it, but when it comes to La Liga/Segunda and even Segunda2 I will jump in and defend their quality. I guess that's the same ideology you employ, you only talk about what you know

I thought I was watching la Liga when I turned my TV and I even though it was Barcelona playing but I curious because I know they just finished playing in the Champions League and it's impossible they play League game on Friday.

That was why I decided to watching closely until I realized it was Barcelona 2 playing in the la Liga 2.

I mean the quality was obvious.

TheGoodJoe:
I will not lie to you. I pondered whether it was the wrong choice Iheanacho not opting for a move to China with Pellegrini. Back then, I did not entertain the idea but today, I feel that was the best decision.

Iheanacho would have made money and continued working with a manager who truly believed in him.

Another person like that is the current Southampton coach, Pellegrino. He followed Benitez like MTN. Everywhere he went.

Which kin talk be dis? We are praying for Nacho to start scoring goals and improve to another level, you are here wishing he goes out of sight.

Bros, Iheanacho should have gone to Monaco when the ovation was loud. He could have been playing regularly week in week out which would have restored his confidence.

Now, he has to put in jaw dropping performance before he gets noticed by a bigger club or his former club.

The most painful thing is, it seems certain he will make the world cup even if he has broken leg, at the detriment of the whole football loving fans.

I suggest Rohr should pretend he is not taking Iheanacho to the world cup by dropping him from the next campaign except he performs. That is if he doesn't perform this weekend.

I think he will sit up.

I wish all Nigerians do well but I will not tolerate partiality or discriminate analyses.

This is my true mind.
