Serie A no easy for strikers oh. It's always been so.

charlesemeka85:
so the epl have more rugged and physical defenders than the seria A? aside van dijk can you name any other top class cb currently in the epl?

wait make cb like koulibaily,skriniar,cheliani,romanogli or even de vrij catch tammy one on one for match

funnily those two names were on my mind when I wrote the initial post, but how long ago was that? Unless you wan talk Ujah

charlesemeka85:
you are right though. i can only mention akpoborie,agali and maybe martins to an extend.

he didn't say Osimhen was bad at the bolded. At the most part, I agree with subzero

charlesemeka85:
osimhen is also good at the bolded

Our forwards should stay away from Germany. We don't have a good record there for whatever reason.

charlesemeka85:
why

Germany? Nooo

charlesemeka85:
Betis and moncheglabach will be good for him

He should go to Spain or France. I think that's where most of our players should be in their development years.

tbaba1234:
Offers for Dennis Bonaventure so far

Crystal Palace
Betis
Sevilla
Borussia Monchengladbach

Tammy is less gra gra more brain. Again, it depends on how the team is set up. I don't think Tammy will thrive in an Osimhen kind of team and vice versa.
If i were to play both in the same team, I will use Tammy more as the support striker.

charlesemeka85:
tammy seem more classy but osimhen is a dynamite. the guy's strength,pace and agility bellies his young age. also he seem more hungry


the only thing that i see stopping osimhem from becoming one of the best from the african continent atleast is injury, aside that he is built and molded to become a legend in the game which is propelled by his hunger and never say die spirit.

tammy is good and classy on the ball but can easily be caged by dreaded defenders

I'm afraid, If I were to judge by the clips you shared alone, I would go for Osimhen.
Tammy's video did not do justice to his goal poaching instinct. Osimhen relies more on pace, and less trickery but clever ball control still. If I were a scout, after watching these clips, I would go for Osimhen. Osimhen is more a mobile forward. Really, they are different kind of players. I don't think Tammy will thrive in a team that likes to exploit the use of pace either.

komekn:
They are both strikers but VERY DIFFERENT in thier style and character as well as individual attributes. Thier capacity to adapt and be versatile to different types and patterns of football will also very different.

I don't use YouTube videos as a benchmark for players quality. However, it can give you a very good insight into a players character, style and inherent technical attributes.

So now what do you think❓

Osimhen thrives with the ball to run on too and behind the defenders. That's where he can use his pace. The team strategy at Lille is entirely geared up towards him.

In a bigger team that will not be the case.

You can make your own deductions on Tega. You have eyes.

It's for this reason Victor has to be very very careful what team he chooses to go toafterwards Lille. A team that suits his attributes and that will play to enhance them.

I don’t always agree with her. But on this one and others, she was very much on point

komekn:
Lol that's dramatically different from my opinion, maybe l have come across different types of women than you have.

It's like someone was slating Black American women here very negatively. My experience is DRAMATICALLY DIFFERENT.

lol this ur new moniker carry weight oh.. u sure say dem no go still find u so?

AndSunGorilla:
I was the banned Talisman. I no want cia or fbi or even sars come dey pursue me. I no know better o, I b confirmed dundee united.

I don't want to bring my religious conviction into this, so it MIGHT not apply to someone with your beliefs.

OMANBALA1:
How so ? Is being single challenging ? I dont think so but you can educate me on that. Because as a single guy you owe nobody any explanation...I am listening

me and safari dey fight steady for here when the need arise.. So there is balance my friend.. cool your nerves

Icon79:
Haha. That's good to know, Joe … because you almost scare me a lil bit right there

You know, once a naija dude becomes too "complimentary", we begin look am with one kin eye like dat


O pari

she may even choose to remain single. but the point is if she marries I pray he should be the one who appreciates her intelligence.

There are many ladies out there with husbands that are abusive etc. (I don't want to use more names)

OMANBALA1:
No need to explain yourself over again on a subject you have deep conviction on. Who said Safari doesn't want a good husband who will challenge her intelligence.

singleness could also be used as a tool to measure success. There is no one definition for success.

OMANBALA1:
Marriage could be used as a tool to measure success because marriage is serious work. If you are going to be a feminist be an informed one.

Lol I no dey una crew ooo. Abeg I don marry ooo hahaha

Icon79:
Et tu Joebie

Omo? Wow, when did you join the do4luv14 crew


O pari

By the way how I take be ur guy? I haven’t read much from u on here. And if u have been following me like u are trying to make it seem then I am surprised you read too far into my initial post. U should have known better.

AndSunGorilla:
There you go again, Male chauvinists, generalizing and calling many women fish brain. Why don't you pray for her to be successful? Getting married to a husband no be by force. Marriage is not equal to success!!!!!
Joe you be my guy, I just dey find your trouble but I mean every word I said.

I usually call many women fish brains. I don’t anymore. However she stands out among many I have come across.
As regards the marriage thing. I said I pray she marries a husband who sees the value in her. That’s far from what you are trying to make it seem I implied. Chill bro

This girl Safarigirl u dey impress me. I pray you marry the kind husband when go see your value. U have something up there unlike many I usually call fish brain

U dey drink abi wetin I fit give u when go make u smile this season?

safarigirl:
Sorry to pull anyone back on this Isaac issue, but it's rather unfair to keep dragging a player for mistakes he may have made two whole years ago, in relation to what his career is today.

E no get who no dey make mistake and e no get who sudden money no dey confuse. He hasn't done anything to require slating of recent, e no dey play fit no be him fault. It is not likely that a team struggling to remain in the EPL, will regularly play anyone who wasn't a regular when they were doing good, even small playing time go be blessing sef.

Make we no dey laugh am on top ashawo wey e carry two years ago. Many of us did things two years ago that we might not be proud of, but it shouldn't define who we are today and we should extend the same belief to Success.

PS: Success is not a waste man, nobody is a waste man. Things might not be going well for him today, does not make him a waste man.

Una good evening.

LIlle don suffer

Will definitely welcome him in that convo.

tbaba1234:
Nice brace for Kayode, Is he now in the striker conversation?

even if we approached him that doesn't make him less Nigerian. He has the right to use the flag whenever he wants.

tbaba1234:
Why?? You did not approach him when you had the opportunity

you cannot take the "Nigerian" away from him

tbaba1234:
Manuel Akanji's shin pads

I think that was oxymoronic if i'm not mistaken

Subzero047:

It’s not about what I think. You can only make deductions from the quote. So what did he say that implies he prefers Nigeria to Belgium or he feels more connected to Nigeria By illusion what did he mean in this context?

Mujtahida:
What if he had illusions as many others do regarding their chances with England, Germany, etc and keep dilly dallying.

Don't you think patriotism clarified his vision and made him more realistic?

Na so he talk, but doesn’t mean it’s true

BascoVanVeli:
It was a tactical decision. Rodgers wanted to revert to the 4-3-3 with a winger instead of a second striker

very well said!

charlesemeka85:
Yea Akpoguma said the same with regards of keeping his options open.

To this regard I think the English born players are the ones who live in illusion the most if not I see no reason a young player like tomori with the depth England boast of in the central defence position will still insist on sticking to the team knowing fully well that his chances to make the team to any tournament re tiny not even slim.


Tammy's case is different because aside Kane and Rashford(who is mainly deployed to the flanks) he is the next performing English striker in the epl.

I must confess I was shock when tomori decided to play for the 3lions instead of the super eagles where he will immediately be slotted in as one of the 2 starting CBs

lol it's funny using the word "illusion". But you know some players can dream BIGGER, and there is nothing wrong with that either only say dem fit miss road in the process. But even at this point, Cyriel knows that he would have a better career with Nigeria. And take note that he said he sees a half Nigerian in the mirror. He didn't say he feels more Nigerian.. He is just honest about his feelings. Reminds me of Akpoguma who just said things as it is. that if he doesn't get a chance with Germany, he would play for Nigeria. No Maradona things.

charlesemeka85:
The kid right from time embraced the truth and is working hard to fullfil his dream of playing for 9ja which he admit that it won't be an easy feat making the 9ja team but still begging for a chance.

Even if he scores tons of goals in the colors of Heracles he may end up just making the Belgian team to friendly games with few caps and minutes to boast of.

With 9ja he has the chance of making the afcon and world cup team if he continues with his good form. Also moving to any of sporting Lisbon, Cagliari and club brugge will enhance his chances the more in the super eagles


He is scoring and assisting for fun but many in Nigeria football circle won't take him serious because of the stature of the club he is currently playing for.

I believe by next summer he will earn a big move to any of the big teams in the eirdivisie or bigger leagues in europe

Personally, I think pulling him off before half-time is quite harsh. It's not like there are not other examples of behaviors that are not sportsmanlike we see often in football and the EPL.

komekn:
One of the problems we have here.

We lack appreciation of the norms and values with expected behaviour and etiquette that reflects European football as well as the EPL.

And so behaviour that's seems acceptable in the context of Nigeria is TOTALLY UNACCEPTABLE here in the UK.

Essentially what Dessers is saying here is that he doesn't see any chance of him competing with Belgium's current generation of forwards. So I don't actually get it when we use the words, "patriotic pride". The boy knows where has a better opportunity, and he fancies it all the same.

charlesemeka85:
this boy get sense wella! i am beginning to like him

The Heracles Almelo hotshot has confessed that he never considered playing for Belgium as it would have been impossible to break into Roberto Martinez’s squad.

Dessers earlier revealed his desire to play for Nigeria – his mother’s place of birth – at international level rather than his country of birth Belgium.


That public declaration by the country’s top football body ignited the patriotic pride in the Dutch Eredivisie’s top goalscorer, a player who was named the league’s November Player of the Month after scoring six goals and producing three assists.

“I think it is a huge honour that they (NFF) have contacted me and communicated to the outside world,” Dessers was quoted by Voetbal Belgie to have told TC/Tubantia.

“Belgium has never been a serious option, that’s why I don’t skip between the two countries. The Belgian team has the best generation ever, with top strikers like Lukaku, Batshuayi and Mertens. Boys my own age, who will play as long as I do. I have no illusions. ”

“I’ve never been to Nigeria. My grandfather and grandmother are from (Nigeria), my mother was born in Europe. When I look in the mirror, I see half a Nigerian every day. I also have characteristics of an African.”

Dessers has produced 11 goals and 5 assists in 16 matches for Heracles and will look to add to his tally when Frank Wormuth’s men face off with sixth-placed Utrecht on Sunday.

Okay who u go replace them with that is close to the world standard?

komekn:
For the SE to compete on the world stage and be taken seriously will require exceptional quality.

We know the standards required and we have to make comparative analysis with a world quality standard in mind.

These players simply are nowhere near the standard. Although Awaziem is technically astute and intelligent but he has no pace. And Collins has very little end product.

A fullback with no pace is a liability and a full back with no end product is a joker.

Lol

komekn:
For a midfielder that's quite exceptional but then again that's his first ever goals in the Championship.

According to your unit of measurement that makes him an IN FORM midfielder.
