Terem Moffi makes both the Whoscored's and Sofascore's Ligue 1 TOTW. No Arguments over his Impact this past weekend.

What does he have to do to be given 10? Make he score 15?

Truidstar:
I beg to differ sir, Greece 2002 euros comes to mind. It negates your argument. A shit squad, but the german coach molded them into a cohesive unit difficult to break down. No superstar player...players playing in the championship in England and greece. I still affirm it is belief qnd some insane amount of luck.

This is what Greece had plus the style of play they used if Rohr use it many people go dey cry for here

I am proud and impressed with our forward line present performances. But, let's not forget that SE has always produced Decent/Good strikers. Infact, in the dark "super chickens" Era, we had the likes of Martins, yakubu, osaze, Kalu uche, Ike uche, Obasi, obinna, Anichebe, utaka, Ideye all scoring and impressing at their clubside. Did they win any trophy for SE? No. Were they impressive at 2010 world cup, No. Infact, [b]2010 was SE worst ever world cup performance wise [/b]despite having these sharp shooters aforementioned. Anyway, my point is that let's not overestimate our present inform Strikers and we must place serious emphasis on Finding top notch Midfilders to compliment Ndid, etebo, Aribo and also good Defenders to compliment Zaidu, Ebuehi, Aina. Right now, there should be a solid search on Finding a Talented "Attacking Midfielder", Center backs and also adequate replacement in those positions to even mandate or anticipate an ANC win or a WC quarter-finals position.

The likes of Nwakali, Ejaria, and should must be invited in our next game while the search for Adequate CB must continue. Personally, I haven't been impressed by Ekong and Balogun combination and although they're the best available option now, we have to keep searching.

SE Strengths - Strikers
Wingers
Defensive Midfield (because of ndidi and etebo)

SE weakness - Attacking Midfield
Center backs.

Come to think of it, why Is it difficult for super eagles to produce "Attacking Midfielders"? despite the fact that okocha is many Nigerians �? Our upcoming youth/adolescent needs to Be coached on being a solid Attacking Midfieldera

Please don't ever disrespect 2002 WC again

ChrisKels:
Even Ajagun knows why he was excluded

Guy!! May the Lord forgive you

According to @Sabah, Galatasaray will not take up their €4.3 million purchase option on Henry Onyekuru and instead focus on signing Halil Dervişoğlu and Gedson Fernandes on permanent deals.

The Nigerian winger has struggled to convince on loan and will return to Monaco.

elyte89:
I disagree bro...azubuike is calm on d ball..hardly play misplaced passes like etebo,awever his marking is a suspect..but when it comes to ball distribution nobody come close to him,not even ndidi when it comes to DM...

Y du u think we lost against Germany in Olympics. ...it was due to his absence..dt midfield couldn't hold his own against Germany.. Mikel had no supporter in d middle dt day..his absense was greatly felt

I know at a point you guys would stop referencing a youth tournament from 5 years ago, the fact that that's the only time he has done anything worth talking about is a damning indictment on how his career have taken shape

Andrew's dream don dey become reality, Chuks scored but they don dey chop am

Chukwuezeeeeee

elyte89:
I don't really fancy dis guy,most especially his club stat for d season, it is always poor,however whenever he's on National assignment, he plays well most times

Share your opinion too

Arabiandude:
Please what's the name of this Enyimba AM? He is by far better than Azubuike.
Recalling Nosa Igiebor is better than listing Azubuike in SE 100 man list

You don take am personal

Arabiandude:
Azubuike has no business in the SE, even in a 100 man list.

LMAO, are you ready for the smoke you'll get?

edi287:
Keshi said he didn't like following instructions on the pitch.

He played under a lot of coaches both Nigerian and foreign only Keshi had that complain about him, anyway it's in the past

forgiveness:
Stop deceiving yourself. Martins didn’t play only Seria A when he was in Italy.

Are you purposely doing this or you just don't want to understand?

forgiveness:
I see. Based on your point Iheanacho has only scored 9 goals this Season.

The rest are irrelevant. Clap for yourself.

You are right about Martins but where should throw the other goals he scored in a season?

Under Sapele water, abi?

Yes he has 9 league goals

ChrisKels:
Sorry, I was wrong to have mentioned Martins, him no dey the list, because he never scored up to 13 Serie A goals in a single season

So Uche scored 14 league goals in 2014 but somehow Mc flavour and Nwafor made the team ahead of him. Hmmmmm

JohnBullMySon:
Rohr to draw up 50-man list to work towards the world cup. No player outside the list will make it to the world cup. Good one from Rohr

I don't quite agree with this, things change quickly in football so if a player suddenly hits limelight he'll not be called?

Arabiandude:
I said it without mincing words, Ronaldo is an upgraded Onuachu, slightly above Simy

Lol, them no dey follow person argue this kain thing

forgiveness:
If Messi played in that era he would have gotten life threatened injury because players were not much protected.

Respect Pele. Messi and co still never reach em level not to talk of Iniesta.

Correct, was shocked by that statement. Iniesta wey dey follow John Terry drag career goals

Arabiandude:
C. Ronaldo is a profilic goalscorer, just like Onuachu. That's how i sees and know him, so he doesn't deserve to be among my list of even top 10 greats. Someone who has scored only 5 goals or so from outside the 18 yard box in about 3 seasons while Messi has scored more than 20. He has played about 3 other seasons without scoring a free kick and he hardly completes more than 2 dribbles per matches for more than 2 seasons. And you are mentioning him with messi that scores, assist, creates, dribbles and does everything in a match. Ronaldo is as good as being useless in a match if he is not scoring. Mention a match in the past 5 seasons that Ronaldo has won MOTM without scoring? That should tells you aside goalscoring, he is mostly useless in a match and that isn't a criteria to judge someone to be mentioned among greats
Oga, you don't even have sense to mention messi and ronaldo in the same sentence

Ronaldo not in top greats, una too dey joke for here

JohnBullMySon:
Wolves are asking to sign Sanusi.


Step up or Step down?

BTW, why does wolves like anything Portuguese?

Jorge Mendez is their agent

andrewbaba44:
One of Granada best players when he was there

In division 3 and 2

andrewbaba44:
Okocha demanded the number 10 jersey so because they didn’t give it to him he joined Bolton

Jay jay is talented and not
Stupid to make such decision

Make we Dey talk truth okay

Na beer parlour talk be that one

Icon4s:
What do you mean by pointless dribbler. Go back and watch Okocha, he usually completed over 95% of his passes after those dribbles, and made incredible assists. He was never a quiet kind of player, you can never mark him out, usually involved in build up of Play. As at that time, that was what being a "number 10" was about. That is Possession of great skills, being creative and also being able to distribute the ball from the midfield to the winger or attackers.

Football has evolved and the system has become more efficient but you cannot write of J.J Okocha's Contribution to the game. Even the great Ronaldinho mentioned he learnt the act of dribbling from Okocha.

I insist pre 2000 Okocha had little end product, I remember France 98 he was our most lively player through out the tournament but his shots were always wayward, his passes were good but hardly defence splitting had to go check his statistics now and he had just 2 goals by Jan 2000.

kennysville:
Y'know its a wonder how people say weird stuffs about Austin Okocha. They look at the dude through the lens of "today's football". We seem to forget that football has evolved. First of all, whatever dribbles okocha came up with at that time is what an average fan paid for and wanted to see. It is what drew people to whatever club he played for. So in that regard, he was really successful. Pele of 1966, 1970 in today's football is at best an iniesta and not even close to messi if we want to judge it that way. But shouldnt we ask "were they in the same era?"

Okocha was bought for 12 million pounds as far back as 1998. How many african players got that as transfer fee? Respect what the man has done in football. He is an Afcon winner, an olympic gold medallist, a midfield maestro and a dribbling wizard. He has left the scene and we are yet to see anyone as creative as he is till date!
Best part, he is a Nigerian! What more can yall ask for?

I taya O!

What do you mean?

Truidstar:
Like they say "Ignorance is bliss" you obviously have no idea guys like Okocha are the ones that paved the way for the abundance of African players in the top leagues in Europe. They faced a lot of hurdles those days coupled with pursuit of lucrative conracts taking precedence over playing in a top league. In today's market, an active Okocha will be playing for a top 4 club in England, Spain or Germany. FACT. Please take time and watch games he played and you will see he was a playmaker amd not just a dribbler (based on YouTube highlights). He was a legend and will always be.

Okocha was a pointless dribbler pre-98 not until 2000 Afcon that we started seeing end product and by the time the whole world would notice he was already clocking in on 30 years of age

12large1:
Typical African man they will talk down on their own and hail the white or foreign black man. When Ronaldinho and Maradona do it, it's playmaker but an African man dribbling is noisemaking

Stop pulling the race card, counter him with facts

andrewbaba44:
If he is a striker I would have agreed with you but to be sincere he is needed as a winger

My point below

We have good strikers like osimhen onauchu simmy moffi but sadiq from division 2 who was doing well Was needed, you guys said he offers something different ,maybe that’s why rohr called him up for our last qualifiers before he was pulled out due to club commitment

We have Samuel kalu ,Moses Simon ,Chuks ,ejuke and you think we don’t need danjuma ?

Having a danjuma on the right wing and a chuks on the left is not bad

He's not good enough and he's just coming for the game time not because he loves to

charlesemeka85:
Bournemouth winger Arnaut Danjuma is considering his International future, with Nigeria keen to secure his services.

Danjuma, 24, has played for the Netherlands twice at senior level.

The Cherries star featured in a UEFA Nations League game against Germany and scored in a friendly against Belgium.

A new rule approved by FIFA in September means players can switch nations, if they have played no more than three competitive games prior to them turning 21.

The Sun last month claimed Danjuma would be able to represent Nigeria. Danjuma was born in Lagos to a Dutch father and Nigerian mother.


And the Cherries forward revealed the Super Eagles may be “interested” if he continues to be overlooked by Holland.

He said: “I’ve heard some bits about Nigeria but I can’t say too much about it though.

“My mum is Nigerian and my father lived 23 years in Nigeria as well.


“The culture is still within the family, so it’s not disregard for the Nigerian side. It’s a choice I will think about but I need some time, obviously.

“I think they are interested but obviously I play for the Dutch national team already, I scored for the national team already, so I’ve made that decision.

“With the choice, I would like to represent Holland as well but then again I’m not being called up at the moment.

“So on the back of that, maybe I need to make some decisions.

“I’ve played for Holland at senior level. One cap in the Nations League and one against Belgium but that wasn’t an official match. They have changed the rules so, if you have one cap, you can still change.

“It isn’t a decision I can make just in a split second. I need to think about it.

“To be fair the club is the most important thing for me at the moment.

“I just want to make sure the club gets back into the Premier League and whatever happens with the national team that’s secondary to me to be honest.”

JohnBullMySon:
UEFA president was asked exactly this question and he had no answer, He said they'll consult the legal team. Long story short, they're shouting ban without knowing whether it's even possible.

The Super League guys have done their work, they didn't just wake up and declare their break away from UEFA

forgiveness:
22 goals in all competitions is not a better season, right?

17 goals in 31 games better than 22 in 46

elyte89:
I will support forgiveness on dis..a season wout trophy is meaningless even if u score all d goals for ur team

I am sure if u ask simmy to exchange all his career goals for a seria A title..he wont hesitate to do such

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.

forgiveness:
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.

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
