Hahaha na so. I think we have agreed on one count. But my guy although Shakhtar Donetsk are a decent club they not as attractive a prospect as Leicester City for players, coaches and investors alike. Trust me.

I remember when Julius Aghawoha moved there from Esperance Tunis in 2000 or so that was the first time I had ever heard the name Shakhtar Donetsk and people were angry he left Esperance for them. Imagine that.

Nobody was angry Julius joined Shakhtar, they have always been a top European team. You can't even compare Leicester and shakhtar, e be like person wey dey compare sleep and death

slimthugchimee2:
But leicester is better than sharktar

There is no argument there

Amad Diallo rejects Italy for Cote d'ivoire

Wow

If true, I'm really impressed

AndSunGorilla:
What about our formidable Akpeyi, Uzoho, Alams and fine boy Madu?

Lol, chei we no get keeper again o. I just hope Madu and Uzoho will make it to the top very soon

edi287:
His all round game is average. Not good enough to be a top class creative playmaker or as a modern day 9.
He doesn't do much outside the penalty box. His dribbling and touch are average.
Nacho is not elite. Whatever he did at U17 level he clearly did not bring it to senior football. This is a fact.

You get energy to dey argue, anybody denying it is just deceiving himself. Rodgers have been training with him for the past 2 seasons, there's a reason why he's always reluctant to use him

maidaboi:
The reality is that Kelechi is an extreme confidence player and
inconsistent. It is not just his goal-scoring, but his touch and effort.
When he is confident, the touches are silky, he picks passes like a
#10, and closes down/fights to hold up the ball really well. The
problem is that, when he is off-form, it is not only that he misses some
chances, but his touch gets bouncy, he becomes static, and doesn't
work for the team. Maybe he just needs to go to a club where he more
valued as a starter and just gets to play through troubles. At Leicester,
the second his confidence leaves him, the boy is dropped to the bench
and the cycle repeats.

Copied

In summary he's an ordinary striker

Karlovic:
Even with quantity, they still are still not in the top tier category.

That's why it's quantity na, no top tier just a bunch of strikers

elyte89:
Jihday o fumble... Quantity o! Quality o! We no dey top 20 for world

Shey na moffi ,kc and co wey no go smell jersey for some national team countries in Europe and s.America ,u dey count join as strikers.

Anyway it's good to blow ones trumpet.

Lol

Karlovic:
Bro you can't be serious with this your argument, So Nigeria has better strikers than Belgium, Germany, France, Brazil even Italy, with Simy and Moffi etc. Crotone and Lorient

I think he's talking about quantity and not quality

andrewbaba44:
Don’t mind him

If I talk say e no Dey watch ball e go be like say I too talk

That guy might not even know the club aina Plays for

na this thread and twitter most people dey watch ball na

elunico:
Aina is a mediocre. I group him with Ajayi and Nwakali, those lads lose concentration very easily.

Nwakali ke? Which Aina? That boy don suffer for una hand

elyte89:
Dis thread na real cruise..u mention like 5 strikers..and none of dem has hit double digit ..even if one add all deir goals together,it is not up to a top striker goal dis season

I swear this thread be like beer parlour, everybody just dey talk weytin them like

Kog45:
...and Aina dey play nonsense to some right?

I think some opinions on some players are borne out on how we personally rate them.

If we want to go by market value then Ola Aina and Zaidu Sanusi should be our starting fullbacks but does it work that way?NO

a correct coach will make both our starting full backs

BascoVanVeli:
Don't just disagree because it was me who said it. Name 5 countries with a better crop of strikers?

We have strikers in 4 out of 5 of Europe's top list.
England: KC
Germany: Awoniyi & Denis
France: Moffi
Italy: Osimhen and Simi

I have not even mentioned Sadiq, Onuachu and the lad who the comment was about.

Lol

Subzero047:
I meant provisional captain like Mount was for Chelsea the other day, he's a long way from being the main captain

Nigerian politicians no do reach this one

chrisooblog:
Guys with the switch of Ovie Ejaria confirmed by Pinnick how do you think he will fit tactically into our set up? what qualities does he have that you feel we currently lack? would walk straight into our starting XI?

would appreciate the house's expert opinion.

cc Goodjoe, Supernerd, Charlesemeka, Andrewbaba44, Icon, Chriskels, Jihday, Tbaba and anybody else.

hold up! Not so fast

ChrisKels:
Water dun find e level

This man came back with violence

andrewbaba44:
Food don set for that Warri guy wey Dey Uk

Una no go hear word for here, I'm sure he's just waiting for the right time before he start to drag Osimhen

Karlovic:
I know it's true in most cases, I just felt that both of them lost focus after signing for EPL clubs and their agents was not capable of getting good deals for them afterwards.

I think Nwakali isn't just good enough while iheanacho

Karlovic:
Very true, it's too bad because he had so much potential as a youngster. A lot of our young players lose focus the moment they start earning a lot of money at their club sides in Europe. His brothers case is even the worst.

Not necessarily, some youngsters just find it difficult making that step up from youth football. It's not a Nigerian thing

tbaba1234:
Nwakali has been loaned out to a second division side. I think it is time to accept that he will not reach his 2015 potential

His supporters will still come and argue with you

12large1:
Look at how sensitive they're when osimehn Goal return is questioned even though no one said that he is a bad player. But, the same people will descend on Kelechi iheanacho even when he is not playing. I call it "selective criticism" make i hear anyone unfairly criticize iheanacho for here again. Anuofia!

your comparison with iheanacho is dishonest, people here have unreasonably defended iheanacho a lot plus iheanacho have proven to Rodgers that he is an average striker

BascoVanVeli:
You act like Sevilla is a super club. All their best players always end up at Barca or Real Madrid. so how do u expect them to bully a club backed by the Saudi government?

Almeria's owner also owned fc Pyramid in Egypt and they were even bullying European clubs for players.

Oga, if Sevilla actually want Umar they will get him

andrewbaba44:
Sevilla doesn’t need a striker with the Moroccan guy and luuk de Jong available let alone paying such amount

Exactly my point, Sevilla are not looking to buy him sef

maidaboi:
Sevilla can't buy him because Almeria don't want to sell simple

Also because Sevilla are not interested

maidaboi:
Looks like Dennis is starting today

Yes, he will start

BascoVanVeli:
Sevilla don't have that type of money. They can't bully Almeria like they did leganes.

I keep reminding u guys that this team is connected to the prince of Saudi. They are richer than people think.

Una no go kill me for here, if Sevilla can't buy him who can? PSG and Barça?

Philosopher1979:
Sadiq Umar is kanu Nwankwo plus goals. He combines the creativity of Kanu with the goals of Yekini.
That is why i like his style of play. He can play target man, he is mobile, skillfull, strong etc.
He is multifacated. His style of play fits Spanish football because la liga likes players that are skillful and technical

Who be this guy

chucs:
Chukwueze should move from Villarreal, even if it is a loan move to salvage his situation before the transfer window is up, cuz It seems Emery no rate am atall.

I don't know why Nigerian players prefer sitting on the bench while their careers suffer.

He's injured sir, Emery actually rates him

TheSuperNerd:
International Federation of Football History and Statistics CAF Women Best XI of the Decade (2011-2020)

Just 4? We suppose get like 7 Nigerians

andrewbaba44:
That’s true

They don’t fancy selling him

That 60mill is to scare potential suitors because they know nobody will be crazy enough to pay that amount for him

Subzero047:
I know the difference between willpower and brilliance

Why? It's been 3 or 4 years in the EPL, is it because they don't run around like mad men or because they don't pass the ball aimlessly? He is doing a fantastic job, very disciplined and professional
