You might have a good point here o because I just viewed Xavi and Modric 2010 and 2018 stats and it doesn’t seem very impressive enough to win b’allon d’or

Modric 2018 World Cup stats
2 goals and 1 assist in 7 games

Xavi 2010 World Cup stats
0 goals and 0 assist

Okay, as a Central midfielder, you might not score/assist bountifully, but, your overall control of the tempo of the game can have a huge impact on your team result

This players are first class footballers

We can't compare what they bring to a team to Nwakali. We need get this right that Nwakali is not in their level so comparing or expecting him to live up to similiar expectations is something i dont see as realistic

I still see his inclusion in the team for reasons best know to the coach and as a gamble that may prove best or other way round

An elite CM balling for Berca or Madrid shouldn't be used to make case for Nwakali

ChrisKels:
Their next line will be, if he could conduct so well, why then is he still in the Segunda Liga? Komekn will lead the charge, and others will follow.

You're not a serious person at all

TheSuperNerd:
I saw many of your posts asking why Nwakali was not yet in Camp and I wondered to myself why you didn't know that he had a game on Jan.2 while you were hurt crying out, calling him unserious and all sorts.

See Humility, you have to learn to verify things before you spill. Coz it's funny when you make statements only to be shown how out of place that statement actually is. Lol


And I can tell that you haven't watched Nwakali at all in recent times. So what gives you the confidence to talk about him this way? A player you haven't watched or assessed recently to reach these conclusions?

Here are his sofascore ratings of the last 5-6 games leading up to Jan.2. I guess they are the ratings of a sluggish lazy ass player.

You're one of the monikers I respect here
But some times good we don't allow sentiments becloud our sense of judgement

With all this rating how many goals and assists has Nwakali this season?
With the long diagonal splitting passes he makes how many have been direct assist this season ?

More so he pose all this stats in LOWLY RATED SEGUNDA B
there is nothing spectacular in all your posted bro

Like I said he is just a prospect with this afcon team not yet proven in the super eagles so all the hype around him is uncalled for

IDENNAA:
Because of your inability to reason like a grown up man you have been relegated to chatkesemumuka types.

You can't find anywhere I insulted anyone on this thread , unprovoked. And , let me tell you this ; I can still insult you without getting banned ...senseless and uncivil bunch simplettton , being being churned out by Buhari and his incompetent government.

You can lie

You that I know that have insults for meal

Well i will advise you never to try insult me.

Your kind proves true that maturity is not revealed in age

I can never be so reduced to dine in your camp with so much hate, bitterness and vicious mindset towards certain players and love for mediocrity

drDoom3:
My entire point was that Onyeka is not a similar player to Ndidi and all the talks about not pairing Ndidi and Onyeka in midfield are baseless.

You nailed it

ChrisKels:
With this guy as our CM, I see us dominating midfields at the AFCON, if Ndidi could bring his a game, and Aribo adapts to African soccer. That said, it wouldn't also hurt to have Onyeka as the CM because I feel with his combative/energetic play in the midfield, he could give us that Bennacer vibe. Bennacer was the major reason Algeria won that last AfCon. Dude was a gladiator, a Norse, a viking and Trojan in that midfield battling like a wounded lion.

You guys cant hide your shame anymore

With all this qualities...you listed still he finds himself in SEGUNDA B

Talents can't hide if he was that good he would have been in a better club

Only a biased coach will bench Onyeka/Aribo for A Sluggish Spanish Segunda B player who is poor with tackles as a CM

IDENNAA:
Yes , because the rules says so. But , if you weren't senseless you would know that any place where rules doesn't exist anarchy reigns supreme , like your country Nigeria which produces rretards like you who try to shame people like me who play by the rules.

Hope you don't get to insult someone here like you've always done

I will report and follow up with it until u get banned


Youre quick to resort to insult and same time can't take it when you're served same meal u dish out to others

Kog45:
Aibo in yesterday night and Chuckwueze in this morning.....Ebuehi will fly straight to Garoua Cameroon after Venezia vs Salernitana match on Thursday evening,still expecting Collins.

How about Dessers

andrewbaba44:
Iheanacho is a striker and he played there for man city and has played there for Leicester City

The sterling and co you called aren’t recognized we strikers but iheanacho is recognized as one in the epl

Iheanacho has played as a CF about 20 times this season but you still think he is not a striker ,I still don’t get most of you guys

Thank you

Better to play him as a CF where he alternate with Iwobi/Aribo depending on who is with the ball

He is more fluid and versatile than the other strikers to me as he can score and assist so well

nelszx:
But Iheanacho is not a striker. Eguavoen himself said Iheanacho is positionally confused. He functions better as a SS not a striker.
Currently we have only 2 strikers, Umar and Awoniyi.

Nacho can play as a Cf very well

He is more clinical than the strikers in camp, he is good with positioning
His problem is that he gives away ball easily and poor touches sometimes

Playing him as a CF is not out of place

forgiveness:
He claimed “we are going to AFCON without our 2 forwards on current form” and he listed Dennis and Osimhen as those two forwards which is not true.

Okay I get your point now

All our strikers are in good form

The problem is the goal keeping and defense department

safarigirl:
We haven't seen, because they haven't gotten the opportunity

It is the same way Osimhen was chopping bench in the last AFCON and we hadn't seen what he could do for the Super Eagles, but when he got the opportunity, he used it.

You cannot expect anything from people that never got an opportunity

True so for now they're still prospects and not yet proven

Me will prefer Aribo as AM while Sadiq/Taiwo plays as CF

Iwobi as AM while Nacho/Dessers play as CF

Odunayaw:
Does Yobo look fit to you?

Yeah sure
The last pic of him I saw he still maintains his shape and more over he quit football not long ago

As a coach he lead the players on drills and joggings that helps to shape him

Odunayaw:
Team Red has Yobo.

What?

Yea to balance team numbers

Coaches like Zidanne do train with the team so no big deal

forgiveness:
Osimhen 9 goals are 3 assists
Dennis 8 goals and 5 assists
Awoniyi 14 goals and 3 assists
Dessers 10 goals and 3 assists
Onuachu 14 goals


Can you please explain?

U know from the name you listed

Only Oshimen is proven goal striker for the super eagles as at now only Onauchu come close

The rest are goal scorers for their club sides we haven't seen what they can offer the super eagles..if more or less.

komekn:
I think you are caught up with a nostalgic quest for entertainment football characterised by dribbling, show boating and skill but with limited end product.

Football has left that era behind even at AFCON and the days of gung ho, trying to dribble the whole team has Died.

When a player's is skilful, technically astute, fast, physically resilient and strong all crowned with END PRODUCT even in an obscure league. He will not be unnoticed.

Our best in form Striker is Dennis and he is not at the party, so also is Osimhen. If Ighalo plays we have hope.

Ejuke is not the outstanding player in his league but he will go to the AFCON and set it on fire. I don't agree with your optimism.

You know nothing about the potentials of super eagle players and instead of you to stay mute you boldly display your ignorance

I so well understand you never rate Umar, Desser been called up to replace Ighalo, Nacho and even Taiwo u rate him Small

U need to sit down and take a chill pill

You see even though i openly question Nwakali inclusion... I know the potentials of that dude just that I am not happy with the way he has been unserious with his career

POSITIVEBRAINS:
Odion igalo is not a professional footballer, after signing a contract that spell out that you will not honour international matches, then why come out of retirement and block other players slot.

Very naughty of him

Dessers would have make this afcon now

TheLoneCitizen:
It seems you are mad, go and tell that to your dead first child.

seigolopa-emevigrof #Socexp

What's the meaning of this

Andrew didnt even insult u
He just state his position on the debate


Damn this is so immature

Andy please don't think about this...

darkelf:
Algeria vs Senegal final

Egypt vs Morocco or Cameroon third place

Nigeria will be lucky to be in the Quarter Finals. Bookmark this

Says the pessimist

ChrisKels:
No call ups outside the the 40man preliminary squad. Know this, and know peace.

Rohr didn't list Dessers

There is just a thin line between Rohr and Buhari

2pep:
When Mo Saliu of brila fm interviewed him recently I heard him mentioned two names i.e Isaac Success and Simmy Nwankwo.

He should call up Dessers
Success not a bad player though but can't tell of his improvement and for simy he has not too good this season rather call up a midfielder than call him

jihday:
I’m almost certain Mr Olajire is throwing shot at somebody

Yes now
The NFF is tired of the indecisive steps of lookman and co
This guys up till now still haven't make up their mind on where their international allegiance lies

nelszx:
If you have data please stream this.
According to Amaju, he wasn't in the 37 man list by Gernot Rohr and was added when his sack became inevitable.


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=58-aDpm-iq8

Notwithstanding the response and attitude from the lad when he was later called up is very disrespectful and not like a player happy to play for the national team

Rohr didn't omit his name for no reason...his attitude made rohr do that

SENEGAL TO PETITION FIFA OVER WATFORD’S REFUSAL TO RELEASE ISMAIL SARR FOR AFCON

This is how I expect a serious FA to react.

Dennis sold us out
Now it is fully agreed that the lad has attitude issues

If he was in the level of V. Moses or Mikel God knows no body would have been able to talk to him again

ChrisKels:
Nwakali has landed in the eagles camp after his cracking performance for his club over the weekend

Cracking performance with no goal and assistance

Let's just welc him to camp no need for the eulogies

elyte89:
House,Outside nwakali argument, my wife just gave birth to a bouncing baby boy(Bilal)
my first child. Alhamdulillah.

Congratulations Sir
Regards

IDENNAA:
Of course , I have come to the realization you are shortsighted and couldn't make a thorough research to see that foreign player of African decent struggle in Europe due to many factors.

Papers
Weather
Language
Racism

Above are factors that affect many African players even when they are really good. You have brains but you cant think...smh

It seems u didn't comprehend what I wrote

How come the other players Nacho, Oshimen,Ndidi, Onyeka, Ejuke,Simon etc crossed this hurdles u listed to make name for themselves...and your Nwakali is still wallowing in Segunda B You should ask yourself some tentative questions if you're honest.

Your Nwakali is not a serious player or simply he does not have the potentials to climb up the ladder he even left africa with a name already as MVP in the under 17 world cup that was played thats an advantage to hit it running but instead you are here hyping potentials that coaches and scouts all over top leagues can't see


You need to stop Making excuses for mediocrity and let go of hate for kids born and groomed abroad who seeks to play for the GWG they're not the reasons for your favourite players slopping careers

drDoom3:
Very true. However, if you brought Vardy at 23 to start in the England National team because you see his potential, would it be wise and fair?

I am not saying Nwakali cannot come good in the future. However, selecting a player based on potential rather than performance over moore deserving players is dangerous for any team.

Thanks Bro
