Let's play this game. Name your best SE XI (and preferred formation) and I will build a best XI based on the players that gets most mentions. For some reason, Osimhen's image cannot be added.

Let's call this scenario C:

Another scenario

Consider the playing style of these forwards and midfielders. Can they strike a good chemistry?

Musa Muhammed extends his allegiance until 2022!
06/16/2020.

I feel great and I am pleased with the contract extension with the Club. This is another step forward in the continuation of our excellent cooperation so far, said Musa after signing a new two-year contract.

The right defender joined the ranks of Gorica in the summer of 2018. So far, he has collected a total of 53 official appearances in the Gorica jersey, three of which in Croatian Football Cup matches. In the previous season, Musa scored one goal and recorded two assists.

Ahmed Musa Proved Himself As A Passionate Sportsman By Commissioning A 500 Million Naira Sports Facility In Kano
By Pereira Bimpe - June 17, 2020

https://www.sports247.ng/wp-content/uploads/2020/06/1533321870_048181_1533322047_noticia_normal-640x360.jpg

Ahmed Musa was born on the 14th day of October 1992 in Jos, Plateau state. He was born to his Father, Alhaji Musa (a polygamist) and his mother, Sarah Moses (second wife of his father).

Being born in Jos, he is best described as a J-town boy (slang used to refer to males born in Jos, Nigeria) by Nigerians especially those who reside in his city of birth.

The Nigerian international who is originally from Borno State, Nigeria (birthplace of his father) was single-handedly raised in Edo State, Nigeria by his mother (pictured below) following the death of his father when he was 7 years old.

Consequently, Sarah Moses bore the full responsibility of Musa’s up-bring and that of his four sisters. The way Sarah Moses recalls, raising Young Musa and her four daughters would have been a piece of cake for Sarah Moses if her late husband were alive.

“My late husband ‘Musa’, the father of Ahmed was a kind and caring man. He was a very generous man who took care of all his wives before he died.” She revealed to Sporting Life

Fortunately, it didn’t take too long before Ahmed Musa (who is also the last born of his mother) stepped into his later father’s shoe and assumed the role of breadwinner for not just his immediate family but extended as well. A fact his mother can attest to her delight:

“My son has been the breadwinner of the family and even our extended family members. He is taking good care of all of us.”

Ahmed proved himself as a passionate sportsman by commissioning a 500 Million Naira sports facility in Kano on the 15th of June 2017. According to Ahmed, the facility is meant to bring standard state of the art training facilities to fellow passionate sports lovers.

“People like football in Kano and they pay money to train in different places, so I thought that it would be good to have a standard place where all these people could have a good place to train, play football and relax.”

In addition to promoting sports and ensuring youth support, Ahmed Musa is extremely involved in charity. Photos and Videos posted on his social media handle captures the Leicester Forward giving back (distributing money) to the community in the spirit of Ramadan.

He has also helped secure freedom for no fewer than 40 children including young adults that were remanded in at the Taurey, Goron Dutse Prison Yard, Remands Home for Children and Kurmawa Prison all in Kano state. Not to mention distributing bag of rice to the needy.

Rangers flop Umar Sadiq flattered by Manchester United interest – but says it’s not accidental
Steve Goodman
17 Jun 2020, 12:15

RANGERS flop Umar Sadiq has revealed his joy at being scouted by Manchester United - and insisted he merits the Red Devils' interest.

The Nigerian striker played at Ibrox during a loan spell in 2018, and was sent back to Roma after just four goalless appearances.

Sadiq was on loan at Rangers but the agreement was brought to an early end
Credit: Willie Vass - The Sun Glasgow

Sadiq has since revived his career with Partizan Belgrade, scoring 17 goals in 38 games this season.
And a United scout watched him last week, when he set up Partizan's goal in a 1-0 Serbian Cup win over Red Star.
Sadiq, 23, played in Partizan's two Europa League ties against United last autumn.
He told Belgrade daily Republika: "Manchester United's interest is a big compliment for me as a player.
"But, believe me, nothing is accidental.
"Partizan have helped me a lot in my career. I found my way, and now I just follow what they ask of me.
"I think this is just the beginning of my success, and the motivation is there.
"We work thoroughly before every game. We don't only talk about tactics and video analysis, but also human relationships.

"Whether it's the manager, Savo Milosevic, or someone else from the coaching staff, they are always there for us.

"As for United, I think they were surprised by how we played against them in Belgrade.

"They put out their best team, which tells you how much respect they had."

I didn't watch the game, but you appear to have watched it. lol

welcome to hypeville!

barackodam:
Na wa o.

I see people saying Dozie played well yesterday.

Lol, Dozie that persistently kept fouling Fati. He fouled Puig when he was brought in.

Referee got tired and eventually gave him yellow after he fouled Messi later on

Man couldn't keep up with any of the players he marked.


Chidozie didn't do well biko.

Ansu even nutmegged him. And thereafter, he started fouling Ansu

Only in Nigeria!!!

komekn:
Old war horse.

How old is Ronaldo, Messi, Vardy, Aguero, Aubmeyang, Immobile, Benzema, Perez, Suarez Lewandoski etc ❓

across the top three leagues of Europe, All of the vast majority of strikers are over 30.

What you are saying does it make any sense to you, please reconsider what you are saying.

Samu with a beastly assist.

no problem bro

andrewbaba44:
Sorry for including you jare

I've not insulted any player. Sadiq and Nwakaeme -- different circumstances I've highlighted.

andrewbaba44:
Sadiq umar should be called up from the backwater league right ?

But Na una go insult player wey dey play for turkey

Continue

Ighalo will give us even better performances if his teammates can up their game.

Edopesin:
I'm sure I don't need to remind you that he contributed to more goals than anyone in the whole tournament, he contributed to all the 3 goals scored against Cameroon in R16 but no you chose to ignore that one

And as regards the Osimhen and Ighalo debate, even Osimhen will tell you he is still understudying Ighalo. Ighalo has performed in the EPL. Topped the goal scorers log at AFCON, and has shown that he can even play at the highest level for a clubside like Manchester. Osimhen is just one level below that. When he signs for a bigger club and performs then we can have the debate again. For me I'm okay with both of them starting

Just managed to catch up with the last 6 or so pages on here.

My take on the two major debates:

1. The relevance of Nwakaeme to SE

While it is true that Nwakaeme deserves another chance he will have to wait for it considering these wingers he comes against:
a. Samuel Kalu has been massive for SE. No national team coach will drop an already performing player for another player because of superior club stats alone, considering that Nwakaeme was given a chance before. We remember when Iheanacho was very impressive for SE and continued to get a look in despite not getting match time at the club level. Kalu is in that boat. And as longs as he keeps putting in a good shift for SE he will keep getting a call up, deservedly.

b. Yes it is true Ahmed Musa had just come back from injury and has not had a considerable amount of minutes under his belt in Saudi Arabia, when he was recalled. Musa has been MIA for SE since the WC, I stand to be corrected, but seems to keep getting invited based on his captainship status. I trust Rohr to drop Musa eventually if he does not up his club and country game, like he did to KC in the past. But how long should we wait?

c. Chidera Ejuke who has been getting more attention in the transfer market is an untested player in SE who suits the way Rohr likes to play from the wings. Chidera also has an impressive stats like Nwakaeme. Besides Ejuke there are wingers with superior performances considering their exploits in Europe. Olayinka and Dennis comes to mind. The latter players will likely get another look in before Nwakaeme because Rohr needs to see them playing more minutes to take a better look at them.

For now, I will say Nwakaeme is doing the right thing. He knows that before he will get a second chance he will have to be convincing in Turkey. This must be the reason for his impressive performance. Every Nigerian player must work hard to get a look in. And when they get their chance they must make sure not to blow it. If Anderson Esiti had his second chance, Nwakaeme certainly will. It's only a matter of time.

2. Sadiq Umar's resurgence and the SE question.

This argument is similar to the previous. But I will side with those who say Umar needs to be called up without delay for the sole reason that Paul Onuachu got a call up. Sadiq has far more to to offer SE than Onuachu can. Rohr once talked about Onuachu's height and the different option he can add to the front. Sadiq is all that and more. Onuchu has the fastest goal ever for SE and since then he has been an anonymous mouse. Sadiq proven and tested at the U23 level, and has been a lion in the lower league. I think Maja should not be hurried into SE.

both Collins and Ehizibue were in the loosing side today. Games to forget.

No long story. If K.Nwakali signs for a big club (na long thing)?and is consistent there, story go change.
Let’s leave past glory. I said at present Adarabioyo cannot make SE considering his form finito

komekn:
How can you be comparing a player who has done nothing beyond youth football glories for the past 5 years.

He was anonymous in the Eredivisie went lower to the second tier Eerste Divisie and was unheard of. The he descended to Porto B youth football and has gone to Huesca and has struggled to get a game.

Football is an open gallery you perform you get noticed there is no secret.

Nwakali has only performed on youth football.

Tosin Adarabioyo is still a City player who has had a very good season in the Championship. That's why multiple EPL clubs want him.

Finally, the Segunda División is so poorly funded they can't attract quality players the league is no where near the level of competitivness and quality seen in the Championship.

I can guess superficially that the transfer expenditure of one club in the Championship could compete with almost the whole Segunda División transfer expenditure.

The next time I see this kind face na Tammy I go bring. *ready to shoot* lol

Subzero047:
Guess who scored today

Yes Toru is ahead now but the tides can change again.

sheyishemba:
exactly moreover sef Naija no need am
udokhai and apkoguma are no better to we have already the main deal is torunarigha and I pray we get him

lol. Cuz The story no get head and tail

Edopesin:
no be lie o!
it might have been arranged lmao

Systematic Attention seeking

few pages ago you assumed that i differed with you because I was bearing a grudge or whatever you were trying to imply. Now you are playing victim that someone got you banned. I wonder what stops you from creating a new moniker to argue your case. I didn't rain any abuses in your direction so nothing stops you from answering my posts. I advise others to stay out of the discussion and watch. So no excuses now. So many claims you made in your posts that has no factual backing. I'm waiting for you to prove it without resorting to calling names. It's as easy as that.

elunico:
Oh you think I'm lacking in substance right?

I was ready to take on all of you before I got banned. My silence should no way be mistaken for concession despite going all homimem on me.

Like I said, I'm done with the topic, you can't bring me back in.

Well there is no standard definition to it. But I would like you to ask the world class question as regards Ozil, and let' see if it would sound right. Else, it supports my position.

benji93:
We agree to disagree. World-class itself can be used in two lights. Momentarily or extensively(all-time). Was Ozil world-class 5/6 years ago, yes. But all-time, maybe not. He dominated for about 5 years. I consider that borderline all-time. If your argument is, once you attain world-class, even if your form deeps, the potential to ascend to that point still exists, I'll probably take it. Ozil has been a journeyman for over 4 years and still counting. He probably has settled with the journeyman status. If he lost form, and 1 or 2 years into his struggles, you ask me if he is still world-class, I'll probably say yes without thinking twice. 5 years of dominance followed by 4 years of Journey-man status in your role cannot be considered world-class momentarily, and perhaps borderline world-class all-time, IMO.

The truth is Akpoguma dey use the guy get attention.. lol

Samassekou doesn’t want Akpoguma to play for the Super Eagles


The Hoffenheim midfielder believes, nonetheless, that the centre-back would be a good addition for Nigeria


Hoffenheim midfielder Diadie Samassekou has acknowledged that he doesn’t want his club teammate Kevin Akpoguma to represent the Super Eagles, as he’s worried about how much the centre-back could improve Nigeria.


The defender was born in Germany but is eligible for the West African giants via his father, and has previously stated that he’d be open to representing the Super Eagles, despite having represented Germany at youth level.


While teammate Samassekou believes the 25-year-old would be a good asset for Gernot Rohr’s side, he’s attempted to dissuade the towering defender from committing to Nigeria.
“I think he would be a great help for [Nigeria],” Mali international Samassekou told Goal , “so for me, it would be better if they didn’t have Akpo.
“[I haven’t really asked him about it] because I’m not Nigerian,” the midfielder continued, “but for the development and improvement of African football, it would be great if he goes there.”


Akpoguma hasn’t represented Germany at any level since 2017, having worked his way up from U-16 level to the U-21s, but is yet to formally be introduced to the Nigeria set-up despite opening the door to a switch in 2018.


“I don’t know what he’s thinking,” Samassekou concluded. “This is a question you should ask him, and he’ll give you the right answer.”
Akpoguma signed for Hoffenheim from Karlsruher in 2013, but has taken his time settling in the first team.


This season, however, having previously had loan stints with Fortuna Dusseldorf and Hannover 96, he’s made 16 appearances in the Bundesliga including 12 starts.
It’s been a strong campaign from the club, who are still firmly in the race for European qualification with four matches to go.


Ahead of Friday evening’s game against RasenBallsport Leipzig, the villagers are only two points behind sixth-placed Wolfsburg, who currently occupy the last Europa League qualification berth.
The German top flight is currently a hotbed for Nigerian players and dual-nationality Nigerian talents.


Kingsley Ehizibue is one of the most recent new call-ups to Rohr’s Nigeria squad, while the likes of Anthony Ujah and Jamilu Collins have been familiar faces in the past and present.


There’s also a seam of potential new invitees to the national side, with Ademola Lookman and Jordan Torunarigha among several players eligible to turn out for the Eagles.

bad belle

IF he starts playing for City, I definitely will. Same applies to any player now having a rough patch. K.Nwakali etc
Like I said, if he commits to Nigeria today he will be down the pecking order in SE. That's the context of my original post.

Modified,

Certainly, Uduokhai, Torunarigha are players that would push for places if they commit today.

komekn:
IMO he has had a steep learning curve he has had some very hard schooling in the Championship.

He has stopped being a boy, I watched him in one game bully Dominic Iorfa and score.

He is now outside of Tomori the best Nigerian origin central defender l expect to see him either playing for Man City, ( l will absolutely not be suprised) at the very least in the EPL.

So if he starts playing for City will that change our perception or any other EPL club.

Finally, who do you think is better than him currently or other prospects ❓

Still waiting for Nwakali to take his bow. Huesca leading Malaga 3-1 away.

na Getafe I dey support before..lol

chrisooblog:
who scored?
