That was sarcasm

bobobooge:
You are contradicting yourself. You just quoted me earlier and said they hyped him.

Anybody who watched yesterday’s game and says the commentators hyped him need to have a mental check up. If u have not been following him or didn’t watch the game, I will understand.

Rockyrascal:
have you taken any note of this, Samuel chukwueze as been heavily hyped by the LFP media recently.

Hahahaha. The truth is many people do that out of envy.

femianski:
ppl on another thread are already arguing that chukwueze looks older than his age chai
African mentality

All he needs is consistence with what he did last night. With that, I will call him world class.

M7even:
I saw the almighty world class Marcelo arguably the best left back look confused, I saw Samu dispossess Marcelo with ease....

I saw the legend of Madrid, Sergio Ramos come support Marcelo to tame Samu.... As if this wasn't enough there was a point when it was Marcelo, Ramos and Casmiero all on him at the same time..

He is getting there, Samu is gradually getting ready to be next big deal in Laliga...

I only wish he remains in Villarreal for a season more..

I also noticed something about Villarreal and Nigerian players... They adapt easily there, when looking at a player like ike Uche.

Wetin consign u?

elyte89:
,who tell u say make u guess,let her reveal her name by herself na

Over 80% of my posts last night when Villareal took on Real were quotes from the commentators.
I must tell you they really hyped him so much yesterday.

And the commentators were not Nigerians.

bobobooge:
There is no proof he is truly 19. This is Africa.

Also we never learn. A player has barely played a full season we are over hyping him.
Where has all the hype gotten Iheanacho?
Maybe I have to pull up all the hypes on Nacho on this same thread just a few years back.

Media should allow Samu concentrate. He is still developing.

Yea princess Ibokun. I just dey guess o

Princezibk:
Ok, I understand better... please am a lady not sir, thank you

“Superb from Chukwueze. Causing all kinds of problems for Ramos”

Samu was not selfish. He had an opportunity to score a great individual goal. But it’s 2-2 now!!

Ramos ready for am this 2nd half o. But make we dey look

do4luv14:
this one chuks don dey use their defense dance kerewa,
make REMOS no go give am , snake in the eagle style oooo

I knew u weren’t watching

Danielnino00:
I'm not watching any game tonight.. No light since new year eve and I don't stay out later than 10..

The bench can also be class. Is it because we always had a poor bench. Think excellence. Kalu is good in his own right. They are two different type of players. I think either can start depending on how Rohr wants to approach the opponent’s defense. But let truth be told, there is no Nigerian playing at this high level Chukwueze is putting in right now.

Modified
Are u even watching the match?

Danielnino00:
Samuel Kalu has been dumped so quick?

I would surprised if Madrid don’t show interest in him

charlesemeka85:
I foresee chukwueze to be the first Nigerian to play for madrid.

It makes no difference even when they put three on him. He should have won a pk

Mybettingtips:
Chukwueze is such a joy to watch. Tormenting the Madrid defense anything he's on the ball


Who noticed that Madrid are marking him with 2 players?

——————-Ighalo—————-

Musa———-Iwobi——Chukwueze

cromz:
How do y'all see this combination chukuwuze/ighalo/iwobi

I repeat Chukwueze is class!!!

Chukwueze is actually class!!!

Forget EPL, this is where he action is
Vill 1-1 Real

Chukwueze this boy is going places

“Superb from Chukwueze”
“...after from brilliant foot work from Villareal in particularly Chukwueze”

Chukwueze assist!!!!

Arsenal: Alex Iwobi still missing one key piece of the replacement puzzle

by Josh Sippie1 d ago

Arsenal have been struggling to count on chances from any formerly reliable creators, but if Alex Iwobi can replicate his match against Fulham, we’re all good.

With Unai Emery unwilling to let Aaron Ramsey run free, Arsenal are without an assisting kingpin. They are counting on chances from any number of sources and, in such fashion, they never know where they may find their chances on any given day.

Needless to say, you certainly can’t rely on Ozil and Mkhitaryan, who have been not only underwhelming but unhealthy. In their absence, Alex Iwobi should have had free reign to assert himself, and in some instances, he has.

But no instances quite like the Fulham match where, for the first time, I could foresee a future without Ozil or Mkhitaryan, and instead at the feet of Iwobi, who, with one more piece of the puzzle, who rule Ozil and Mkhitaryan wholly obsolete.

He’s got the drive, he’s got the speed and strength, he’s got so many things that not even the two experienced creators have. He can dribble, like so few others on this club, and he hasn’t had many injury problems either.

Against Fulham, we saw Iwobi at his creative best. Suited up as a left winger, he was a dynamic creator who combined so well with the wingbacking play of Sead Kolasinac, the two of them combining for the lion’s share of chances – seven total, with Kolasinac taking the edge of the split by one.

Iwobi was dangerous with his crosses and didn’t look jittery at all, despite his track record of being just that.

The problem isn’t what Iwobi can do, it’s the consistency with which he can do it. Yet again, we were reminded of how positive he can be, but yet again, we have to remind ourselves that until he gathers some semblance of reliability, he will be missing that final puzzle piece that Unai Emery wants to see out of him before he can truly replace the two creators that he so capably can.

I don’t know about you, but I’m getting a bit fed up with the Ozil/Mkhi circus. Even if Iwobi can make clear strides towards reliability, I would give him absolute priority over the other two, solely for the sake of building a future.

Iwobi has been chipping away for years. He’s getting better. But one more step is all he needs to complete the replacement he was destined for.

Rest plans to invite Tammy Abraham, Lookman for 2019 AFCON – Igali

Adebanjo Ogunseye Adebanjo Ogunseye

Tammy Abraham, Ademola Lookman and other players of Nigeria descent can forget about representing Nigeria at the 2019 Africa Cup of Nations, if it were up to Ex Eagles forward Victor Agali.

Over the couple of years, Eagles Head Coach Gernot Rohr has scouted Europe for players of Nigerian origin, as he builds a team for the future.

The process has since seen the introduction of Bryan Idowu, Tyronne Ebuehi and Ola Aina, all of whom have now earned international caps with Nigeria, but Victor Agali has advised the Coaches to pump the breaks.

The former Eagles player who is also the team’s chief scout has told Brila.net that only a few players are currently required to shore up areas of need on the team, and there will be no need for an influx of players.

Nigeria will return to the continental competition next year after missing out on two consecutive editions.

Wolverhampton Wanderers reportedly bid for the 21-year-old England international striker yesterday but according to Sky Sports, the Stamford Bridge club are not interested in selling him in January.

Chelsea considering new loan for Abraham as Premier League sides circle

02/01/2019

The Blues deny that an offer has been accepted for their young England striker, who is performing well on loan in the Championship for Aston Villa
Article continues below

Chelsea have denied reports in the UK media that an £18 million ($22.7m) offer from Wolves for Tammy Abraham has been accepted, but Goal can confirm they will weigh up his options in the January transfer window.

Aston Villa signed Abraham on a season-long loan deal during the summer of 2018, but Chelsea have the option to cut short the 21-year-old's stay in the Championship short and have a host of Premier League clubs interested in their young striker.

The striker has scored 16 goals already this season for Villa, who are sitting five points away from the play-off places, with the likes of Wolves, Newcastle United, Crystal Palace and Huddersfield Town all keen on acquiring his services.

Solskjaer's super-sub magic rubs off on

Wolves' £18m offer marks them out as frontrunners for a deal, but it remains unclear which club Abraham will be playing for by the end of the January transfer window.

Chelsea's head coach Maurizio Sarri had previously confirmed that he will not recall Abraham, or Michy Batshuayi - who is having an underwhelming loan spell at Valencia which the Blues are also considering cutting short - early from their respective deals.

"No [I don't need another striker], because I have the option with Hazard in this position," he said. "We have Morata and Hazard can play very well in this position as we have seen in the last two, three matches. So I think that in this moment I don’t need another striker.

"Maybe another winger, because now we are in trouble with the injuries of Pedro, of [Callum] Hudson-Odoi and [Ruben] Loftus-Cheek. So I have the option for the striker [Hazard] but at the moment I have no option for the wingers."

Chelsea have also completed the signing Christian Pulisic in a £58m ($73m) deal from Borussia Dortmund, though he will not play for the club until next season as he has been loaned back to the Bundesliga leaders for the remaining six months of the campaign.

I think he will be a beast playing with better teammates. Chelsea should not sell him.

Sportilitica:
He really has been consistent

They are selling him outright. Stupid! Sarri said he don’t need a striker, let’s watch them slip down the table.

Chelsea accept £18m bid from Wolves for Tammy Abraham

Tammy is average, but at par with our best forwards.

He is actually above average

Danielnino00:
If we take your beloved Josh Maja out of the league one,then what does he become?
What of Sone Aluko? Tammy Abraham??

Proff of GBAMACOLOGY

komekn:
The issue is context and what context you are making your comparison based deduction upon.

Very good players in the top leagues and top teams, that's not true.

But localise matters and then it becomes a different situation. Are we the best in Africa I would not say that but very good players in the African context a big resounding YES.

Football.london as well gives Iwobi the highest rating

ESPN also supports that narrative
