Napoleon55:

Another bombshell loading............

It is a known bombshell. Pele is the greatest footballer ever while Maradona follows. Messi.

Napoleon55:

Napoleon55:
This is the part where I have to laugh,ha ha ha haaaaaaaaaaaAaaaaaAaaaaaa
The only thing left 4 u now is to say Messi is not in top 3,I'm sure u will it very soon, I'm so sure

When I began to show you profile, you coolu down nau. Wait! I will soon prove it. Soon!

Messi is still not in the class of Pele and Maradona.

TheSuperNerd:
Uhmmm.... I hope you're aware you made no sense.... Looollllll... You're just one talkative funny clown honestly.... Skipping facts and quoting other facts and then twisting others... Look... Anyone is free is talk okay but know this:

"When it comes to Records and The Truth in the beautiful Game, You can't run from it.... All you can do is deny it like it doesn't exist... But the truth remains"


Nonsense remains Nonsense no matter who says it... Live with the "whole" facts... And not "some"

E pain am! Record pass records.

Has Kanu Nwankwo ever won AFCON best player of the tournament?

Has Kanu Nwankwo ever won highest goal scorer in League?

Has Kanu Nwankwo ever won the highest goal scorer in a competition?

Has Kanu Nwankwo ever made AFCON team of the tournament?


Did Kanu Nwankwo qualify Nigeria to BIGGEST FIFA ORGANISED COMPETITION IN THE WORLD which happens to be the WORLD CUP?

Did Kanu Nwankwo ever scored in FIFA BIGGEST ORGANISED COMPETITION IN THE WORLD(not Europe or unrecognised Olympics for U23 TATAS)?
Now, this is making sense.

Are these not records and truths in the beautiful game of football?

Indomie noodles generations will never rewrite the history of Nigerian football. Sorry.

No, 1 Rashidi Yekini, no 2,

TheSuperNerd:
Do you read at all? Do you understand me at all? Have I been saying Yekini isn't a super legend. Chaiiii.... Stop the "garrulousness"...

I could ask similar questions as to where Yekini was when Finidi and Amuneke were hitting big heights themselves but that would mean I am putting down a legend. I refuse to do that....

I don't wanna talk too much. The records and accolades and achievements in both "Green&White" and "Club football" are there for all to see.... KANU IS TRULY NIGERIA'S NO.1... MIKEL IS EASILY NIGERIA'S NO.2 AND FINIDI IS NO.3..... YEKINI, OKOCHA, KESHI, ENYEAMA, AND THREE OUT OF THE MANY SUPER LEGENDS WE HAVE MAKE UP THE REMAINDER OF THE TOP 10.

I do this by combining all known parameters. The records put together do not lie...

I thought you claimed without those players he could not had scored. Chai! I exposed am.

I hope you agreed they contributed nothing during those era. Sorry.

Well, it is only indomie noodles generation that will ask 'where Yekini was when Finidi and Amunike where hitting big heights'. In Europe?

Sorry! We no dey watch European football leagues in the 70s/80s because African football league was great and that was where African footballer of the year emerged then. Even Pele can testify to it. Sorry.

TheSuperNerd:
Nigeria's Greatest and finest of all time is based on all parameters which encompasses most successful, most decorated and more.....

So is it I who is shifting or you who asks for Nigeria's greatest striker?? What sort of question is that sef??

We are talking Nigeria's finest legends of all time and you select just "striker"... Who's the post shifter then?? Loolll

You guys just love to drag a dead argument. Kanu is no.1 so live with it!!!

Kanu Nwankwo has never been number 1. Sorry.

TheGoodJoe:


Kanu did not play top nine. At Ajax, there was Kluivert. At Inter, there was Ronaldo De Lima and Ivan Zamorano at Arsenal, there was Wiltord, Henry and Bergkamp.

He was more of an architect of the brilliant attacking plays of the teams he played for.

Oga. Kanu played as a top nine. He sometimes came from the bench to replace Kluivert.

At Inter Milan, he was just a ball boy because of his heart disease. He added nothing to that team..

At Arsenal, he was just part time player nothing more. He holds the record of 115 substitution from the bench. The 3rd in EPL history.

TheGoodJoe:
LOL.

TheSuperNerd needs to shout Yekini is a Super Legend 500 times for some to get it. He agrees Yekini is one of Africa's greatest but Kanu is a bigger one. So telling him Yekini is great justifies TheSuperNerd's stand.

He respects and adores Yekini. He just points out Kanu is greater.

Kanu is not even in top 3.

zicky:
I remember sometime back either in kickoff or Completesport ask fans to vote Nigeria greatest player of all time and I remember very well Kanu came top.



Happy birthday Nacho greater height, a legend in the making surpassing Kanu, jayjay n yakini record combine

Of course, we know some people voted randomly to...

I was there but didn't vote. It was inconsequential.

TheGoodJoe:

You are talking Prata de Bola, Kanu is talking winning multiple trophies, including FA Cup with Portmouth.

And who told you Yekini did not win FA Cups, leagues in Africa and played in Africa Champions final in the 80s? Then add it to Prata de Bola.

We are not talking about laurels won by attachment but laurels won by individual impact.

The difference is clear.

TheSuperNerd:
because of goals? So Finidi wasn't feeding him eh?? Finidi didn't stand out eh? Amuneke nko? Amokachi that was his foil nko??

Yekini wasn't even our stand-out performer at USA 1994. Or u wanna say the contrary?

Was Finidi there when he was the 2nd highest goal scorer in 1990?

Was Amokachi there when he became the highest goal scorer in 1992 AFCON?

Was Amuneke there when he scored all the goals to become highest goal scorer in 1994 AFCON?

Was Amuneke, Amokachi and Finidi there when he became highest goal scorer in the Portuguese league(top 3 league in world as at that time)?

No be fluke, na talent. Peak, it is in him.

TheGoodJoe:

That is based on looking at Yekini's records in Africa and counting out Kanu's influential works in Europe.

When you look at accomplishments, Yekini is not in the top three.

Point of correction. It is based on Yekini's records in Africa and Europe combine.


So, you don't know he won Prata de Bola in Europe and scored Nigeria's first goal in the biggest FIFA ORGANISED COMPETITION?

Europe is Continental and not international, so is Africa.

Abi you wan tell us Pele did not achieve anything because he didn't play in Europe?

TheSuperNerd:
I'm not as loquacious as you are.... Looollll


You love to drag talks and arguments with headless statements.


Too much talk is not needed. Facts and records are all over the place. Access them yourself and stop being lazy spilling sentimental comments all over the thread...

Yekini is not Top 3 Nigerian legends of all time based on all parameters concerned. #fact.

So deal with it...

Sorry! we don't deal with talk talk no facts.

Kanu Nwankwo is never the greatest player Nigeria ever had. Sorry! Na king bench and substitution.

I lie? sorry.

InyinyaAgbaOku:
Your west side clubs have not been making waves, they are dying.
Quoting what shooting stars did in decades back cannot revive your clubs either. 3SC is not part of the equation at all as we speak.
Better start working on them, it's your type that complain Igbos are too plenty in Super eagles but you will not grow talents Now.

Nau I know you want to go tribal.

TheSuperNerd:
*Jamb question* Lol

Na only talk talk you sabi.

Facts you get. Sorry.

TheSuperNerd:
Funny comment. I thought you were one who stood for facts from all perspectives....

But nope.... You go blind to certain facts and open your eyes to the ones that support your points.

So what facts do you speak of coz I know you too well... You talk from both sides of your mouth.

If Yekini had Kanu's allround achievements, That is the angle you would be arguing from. Haba!!! Egbon... U sef!!!

Look, "Yeking" (I call him that ) is no doubt One of the very top legends we have in Nigerian football but there's no way he's no.1... He's not even top 3. #fact. He's most definitely Top 5. So save it....

Please, tell me where I went blind to certain facts.

What are the 'certain facts' I ignored or I don't know?

Can you please tell me what Kanu Nwankwo won Yekini never won?

uduokirika1:
Though not in support of some guys and ethnocentric comments on football discuss, which remain the only sector bereft of ethnic brouhaha.

FCIfeanyiuba today have almost equal yoruba players to igbo players + other foriegn players!

However, In just 16years Enyimba has surpased what ever record 3SC must have recorded!

Heartland, Rangers and Enyimba have won more league titles than 3SC but 3sc still have the edge over heartland and Rangers @continental records! Enyimba still remain Nigeria's most succesful clubside

Is 4 greater than 5? The last time I checked, 3SC won the League 5 times which makes them the 3rd behind Rangers and Enyimba, while Heartland only won the League 4 times.

Enyimba is the most successful clubside in Nigeria followed by 3SC based at continental records.

Those are my two favourite clubs. I don't know why Oyo state government doesn't want to sell the club to nairabet. I believe if they sell it, 3SC go do something.

Keneking:
But you can not hear MFM, Akure United, Ikorodu Utd or even Sunshine win since return to democracy. Has anyone observed this trend?

Anyway, has that Enugu Rangers Int'l injured player rejoined his mates.

That injury caused a scare in dying mins.

Have you not heard of Julius Berger?

tbaba1234:
I clearly stated that

Did you? Sorry, I didn't see it.

TheSuperNerd:
Says who?? Stop making statements that are so outta line.

Facts are there for all to see.

BascoVanVeli:
Very sad news Victor Moses and Isaac Success have been ruled out with injury. Obaje and Chisom from Wikki and Rangers have been called as replacements.

Na wa ooo! I don't longer trust Victor Moses.

tbaba1234:
International future is not just the senior team. The guy's head has been turned.

What else can I say more? You have said it all.

TheGoodJoe:


Roger Milla is a legend and we adore his contribution to the development of African football.

Compared to Eto'o come on. From the top of my head.

Nations cup in Nigeria Ghana 2000. The Sidney Olympics in 2000. The Champions league, La Liga and Copa Del Rey Under Guardiola at Barcelona, the treble under Mourinho at Inter Milan.

Haba. Eto'o was remarkable.

You may go ask any Cameroonian and they will tell you Roger Milla. Because he brought more glory to them than Eto in terms of national team.

Why do you think they called an 39 years old man from retirement to represent them in the world cup?

TheGoodJoe:
Kanu is one of the most accomplished African Footballers of all time. You must not win with the Super Eagles to become an accomplished Nigerian footballer.

Stop using National team. Use Super Eagles. The U17, U20, Olympics and Super Eagles are all National teams.

But you must win Olympics, CL ete ko?

TheGoodJoe:

Ovie Ejaria pledged his international future to Nigeria.

Yes! But he has changed his mind hence he is heart now lies with England U21. He is already in camp training and laughing at.....

National team(Super Eagles of course) is what that matters. Go and ask Brazil who their legend is, go and ask Argentina who their legend is btw Diego Amadi Maradona and Lionel Messi, go and ask Cameroun who is their legend btw Roger Milla and Eto.. I can go on and on.

zicky:
Go to Portmouth or Arsenal and tell the fans Kanu is no a legend, two times African footballer of the year which other Nigerian player can boost of that

Eto has won APOTY more than Roger Milla but Roger Milla is regarded as a Legend in Cameroun ahead of Eto. Sorry.

Although, Kanu Nwankwo is a Legend in Arsenal but he is below Rashidi Yekini in the Legendary status in Nigeria.

TheGoodJoe:
When it comes to football and Nigerians who achieved a lot on football, Kanu is more legendary than Yekini.

Kanu from Ajax, to Inter Milan to Arsenal played with some of the best players of the game.

We don't like statement devoid of substantial facts.

Now, show me what he won with the Nigerian National team.

How come CAF best players emerged while playing in African league sometimes ago?

TheGoodJoe:

We do not need a player like Dele Alli. His allegiance lies with England.

Yes! We don't need player like Ovie Ejaria. His allegiance lies with England. Sorry.

zicky:
So playing in Nigeria league makes one more legendary to the other. kan-u believe this smh. Maybe in future we hear something like Stanley okoro is more legendary than Iheancho cos he played in NPFL

Is that the only thing you noticed on Rashidi Yekini's profiles?


Sorry, Nigerian Premier league had more value than EPL in 60s,70s and early 80s.

Ask Pele and Santo of Brazil, they will tell you about the quality of Nigerian clubs during those era.

Tottenham schooled Manchester City yesterday and the person Orchestrating the game was Dele Alli.

Soon, we will lose better ones due to na my brother system of selecting players.
