Saka has not done anything in the last couple of games but he is talented.

Make we dey watch

tbaba1234:
Iwobi should have scored two

The DRC substitute Goalkeeper was better than the other goalie that started.

Bukayo Saka. This is the second game in a row I have seen him come on. But me never see anything from that guy yet o.

elyte89:
Wc one is semi-assist again

E fit no b assist,e no fit be assist

He gave a killer pass to Jenkinson who squared the ball for Willock to tap in.

Iwobi don score 3rd goal of the season.

Earthquake1:
Sorry mate, I was reading on Facebook

He was part of the build up to the second goal though. More like a semi-assist.

Earthquake1:
Iwobi assists!

For which goal?

Odunayaw:
They are plenty that are doing Kelechi! Olorun gbo

The thing weak me. See even Awaziem.

ChrisKels:
Chai baba u dun fall my hand. How kwanu u go fall for this kind trick nah? Wetin concern Leicester Mercury concern, ATM transfer? And €40 for that, not €40m Chai nawa oo

That was why I asked which youngster. My thoughts even went to Ndidi first.

Iwobi showing true leadership amongst the Arsenal youngies.

Joebie:
“Atletico Madrid according to a report in Leicester mercury.co.uk are however preparing a bid in the region of €40 for the youngster.“ — CSN

Just 40 Euros chai!

Which youngster?

forgiveness:
I noticed a player wearing number 20 at the CB for Readings FC. He is doing very.

He is very good at distributing balls either with accurate long or short pass.

Tiago Ilorin is his name.

Will be a very good addition to the team.

Ilorin ko Lokoja ni

The bold that l have highlighted, is a very wide and mischievous variable intended to cause dissentious discord and unnecessary arguments.

It's simply not true, otherwise please quote me which you can not. Apologise pride will not allow you too.

You have supported my position by your own admission. My position is very simple we have no way of to officially substantiate age in Nigeria.

We therefore have to rely on personal integrity. In a society that is intrinsically corrupt. That's simply not plausible if you want to be truthful.

You have said you don't think that Chukwueze is 19 but more like 22/23.

So what you are saying is everyone's age cheating but it's the degree if age cheating that is in dispute.

You have contradicted yourself, in your irrational, biased defence of the indefensible. You either have integrity or you don't, you are either a liar or not a liar.

There really is no middle Road for truth honesty and integrity. Call a spade a spade. Cause what you are saying he had lied, " but na small lie, Eéeeeeee no too much "

And I am therefore called unpatriotic for asking for unquestionable integrity.

Oh my God when did I say the bolded?

Are sure you are quoting the right person?

Please quote where I said the bolded or appologize to the entire house for spreading falsehood.

And please I don't have anything to discuss with you until u either show me where I said Chukwueze is not 19 but more like 22/23 or u appologize.

komekn:
I really don't doubt what you are saying.

And the MRI has curbed the hitherto reckless abuse of the system with old men of 25+ paraded as U17 making a mockery of ourselves in the international arena of football.

However, the bold substantiates my point you just can not be absolutely sure about the ages of our youth players. So you've vindicated my position.

Vindicated which your position?

No one here has said the MRI determines exact age because that is not how it functions. It is not a Chronological machine so it cannot determine absolute age. It only examines extent of certain bone fussion which is attributable to most boys of certain age or less. (Before 18)

We are only kicking against those that will see a 19 years old Uzoho or Chukwueze and say they are in their 30s or 25+, a claim which u have always supported.

If you truly wish for the development of Nigerian football please quite this your antics of trying to rubish the ages of all our players that have gone through the MRI.

PrimaBite:
I'm new here. Though opened the account with my brand name Prima bite which is an emerging fast food restaurant in ile-ife. I'm a football lover and a die hard super eagles fan. I hope to enjoy every moment here discussing football with the veterans. Love you all!

Welcome bro.

Trust me you will love it here. We are all one big family.

Sman37:
Some doesn't like buhari never mean is lazy or honest or hardworking beside does youth shouting said baba dat ar still school ar MST lazy one cus even on strike(they have no work/learn non) dey depend on lying to their fathe/Mother and government just like NANS did to get money

Did you try reading this stuff before posting it?

You should have kukuma written in your local dialect.

Ganiyat72:
What is really the problem with we the Yoruba Muslims? Why are we carrying the re-election of terrorist buhari on our head more than his hausa fulani kinsmen?.

Why have we become the clog in the wheel of Southern progress?

Oga you are not Yoruba.

Princezibk:
Yes princess ibukun.... thanks

Welcome to the forum Madam. I have been reading your posts.

....and we hope to see more of you.

ChrisKels:
I no understand wetin u mean buh this line from sir Icon4s "(Yours is even closer to my first son's than mine)" come dey make me feel like say the man dun dey underrate me just bkus of my age, already

Not my kind of person bro. U should know by now.

TheGoodJoe:
I do not expect club football to be the same with National football, that is why long-term planning is critical to the success of great teams. Look at the likes of Spain, Belgium, Germany and France. For years, they keep working on a plan and developing it.

Thinking we can skip the hard work and eat the cake will not take us anywhere. We keep running in circles because we are not ready to do it right.

That longevity of coaching crew with a long-term program is what we always strive for. But what happens when the coach fails to get results? He gets fired and we move on to the next coach. I am glad the NFF has kept Rohr. Let's see how far he can push the team.

BascoVanVeli:
IMO Villarreal are more likely to win the Europa league than get relegated.

. I comment my Reserve.

Curtisaxel7:
If you suspect you have a certain illness, who do you go to? A medical expert, right?.

As I mentioned earlier, my mum is a veteran immigration officer. This kind of thing is what they deal with everyday. This is her field of expertise. Immigration officers are highly and specially trained for this kind of stuff....anybody who's ever been to an embassy interview can testify.

However, I must state that her conclusion was reached based on the very limited evidence I presented to her. One picture is hardly enough material for anybody to draw conclusions from. She may have a different opinion if she were to meet and interact with Chukwueze.

You may wonder why I stick out my neck most times for some of these boy. Aside watching them on TV and seeing their pictures on the internet, I have been on the practice pitch with some of them. You really need to see these boys physically to really appreciate how young they are.

ChrisKels just pointed our how small Chukwueze looked when he met him on the pitch in 2016.

I know we had an era of age cheating but the MRI has ensured that most of our U17 products were actually U17.

ChrisKels:
Chai like dis now, u no go dey give me my maximum for here again nah

About ur boy, my regards. Tell him not to depend so much on anybody, not even his dad. Tell him to hustle hard on his own, and see whatever help that comes from the side as a bonus. That will help him grow quickly and survive easily on his own.

On ur own, do well to be a good father buh never fail to make him understand life aint no bed of roses.

The street is military.

Cc krattoss anye oo!!

Wow, this is your best post in 2019 thus far.

Nice words of wisdom. Thanks.

That issue of street being military I can identify with that o. But one thing is sure, God rewards hardwork and persistency.

komekn:
It is indicative and not conclusive, it can only indicate age range and not give you specific.

That's misinformation.

Without AUTOMATIC BIRTH DATA CAPTURE there is no way to officially substantiate age in Nigeria. That does not mean he is not 19. Just that we have no official government sourced corroboration.

So because we do not have "official government sourced corroboration" we should stop playing football?Nobody has said the MRI gives exact age. I know how it works relative to bone fussion and expected age of fussion. The MRI, with a reliability rating of 90%, is the best we have for now in curbing age cheating. So deal with that.

For those claiming Chukwueze is 25/26 or 22/23 I said it before and I will say it again that I have a valid system that tells me Chukwueze is about the age he claims. Anybody who feels otherwise and has valid evidence should Come and arrest me.

ChrisKels:
Lol bro, age is nothing buh a number oo. As long as u can answer when called, u are man enough. Ur experiences, abilities, sense of reasoning et al makes u a man, not ur age. Besides, I dey stubborn small oo, so I no go gree knee down, hands up

O boy forget that thing. Not when the Gap is so much . Yours is even closer to my first son's than mine

ChrisKels:
Only a stupiid man would question Chukwueze's age. If u wanna know more about Chukwueze, ask guys who were in Michael Okpara Uni of Agric Umudike (MOUAU) and its environs (from government college to Gate, infact the whole of Ibeku). Chuks was at most 17 when he came up against me in MOUAU stadium in 2016 after his exploits in Chile. Looking at his small frame, I was full of confidence that I would easily keep him in check despite his pedigree, bkus Dude was clearly looking his teens and I was vidibly older though I was 22 going on 23 then. To cut long story short, the name Marcelo that I was fondly called then instantly eluded me in the pitch and I was a mere Echiejile before Chuks. Till date, my babe still taunts me for my shambolic displays that day, whenever the name Chukwueze comes up.

Just so u kno, Diamond Football Academy doesnt take players who are outta sec skul, otherwise u present ur original waec result for age verification. Birth certs can easily be doctored but not waec results bkus waec doesn't register candidates below 16, hence u would be required to add to ur age if u fall below the minimum age.

Ok.

He was called to play against older boys. Meanwhile some one here was making it feel as if he was a Machinery imported to play against your secondary school team in the 1990s or something.

BTW I never knew u are this young. The day we will all meet face to face I will ask some of u guys to kneel down, hands up and close their eyes for disrespecting your elders all these years.

andrew444:
And you think Villarreal will allow him leave now?

Yes, if they get a good offer.

BascoVanVeli:
Southampton won't get relegated either. One game is enough to know if a team has quality or not. Villarreal will get into the top half by seasons end

Haha you can't be too sure bro

andrew444:
Those club you mentioned gave top team a run for their money but the question you will ask if did those team gave top team a run for their money during their season of relegation ? Hell No

If villareal goes down the better players will leave there take it or leave it,as far as chukwueze is good he wont be there at villareal

Solomon Rondon didnt go down with west brom because he is a good player

Shaqiri didnt go down with stoke

Should i mention more?

Bros u can't be too sure. Half of the season gone and both Villarreal and Southampton battling relegation.

They can still get relegated bro..
There is no guarantee that Chukwueze would leave if his team relegates.

BascoVanVeli:
Southampton won't get relegated either. One game is enough to know if a team has quality or not. Villarreal will get into the top half by seasons end

O boy you can't be too sure. Aston Villa, Stokes and Westbrom are championship teams today. These were clubs that gave top EPL teams a running for their money just a couple of seasons ago.

Rather than Chukwueze standing the risk of going down with Villarreal I would rather he makes that move now or at the end of the Season.

BascoVanVeli:
Did u watch the game last night? That team is nowhere near a relegation candidate.

Did you watch Southampton beat Arsenal and Draw Chelsea?

Did they play like a team battling relegation? No. But the table is saying other wise.

1 game alone cannot determine where u end up in the league.

[quote author=Curtisaxel7 post=74446897]I showed this picture to my mum who is a veteran immigration officer and asked her to guess the guy's age. She insists Chukwueze was nothing less than 24 years old at the time this picture was taken.

Let's just let sleeping dogs lie.[ /quote]

Let me also reserve my comment.

Odunayaw:
You're still coming off as a speculator, more so speculating based on picture

But then, its your parade.

And I don't know if these people forget easily or just chose to blank out certain aspects of their memories.

Were these not the same boys that we saw pass through the MRI and we hailed the team of being geniunly U17 and yet gave us victory.

I am not surprised. Most of them didn't know Chukwueze from the start
