Aha! now we all know.

Yes princess ibukun.... thanks

ESPN hype?

DF Sergio Ramos, 7 -- Won't have enjoyed being nutmegged by his former Spain teammate Cazorla early, but did especially well when helping out Marcelo against emerging starlet Chukwueze. Got his customary booking for jumping with arm raised against Villarreal sub Carlos Bacca.

DF Marcelo, 5 -- Turned much too easily as Chukwueze created the opening goal, and never really got close to the razor-sharp Nigerian for the remainder of the game.

So because we do not have "official government sourced corroboration" we should stop playing football?Nobody has said the MRI is gives exact age. I know how it works relative to bone fussion and expected age of fussion. The MRI, with a reliability rating of 90%, is the best we have for now in curbing age cheating. So deal with that.

For those clamming Chukwueze is 25/26 or 22/23 I said it before and I will say it again that I have a valid system that tells me Chukwueze is about the age he claims. Anybody who feels otherwise and has valid evidence should Come and arrest me.

Hahaha the kind rush when people use take enter 2019 eh, e go be like say dey want make the new year finish quick quick.

do4luv14:
the way arguments dey fly here ehn, wey we Neva even finish the first week of dis new year,

you go bin wonda, if nah December we still dey

When icon begin to dey talk like komekn.

Icon4s:
O boy you can't be too sure. Aston Villa, Stokes and Westbrom are championship teams today. These were clubs that gave top EPL teams a running for their money just a couple of seasons ago.

Rather than Chukwueze standing the risk of going down with Villarreal I would rather he makes that move now or at the end of the Season.

Me sef dey ur side dey observe too

do4luv14:
ah no go far nah,
ah jst sidon for one corner dey observe

This piece below was done prior to the Madrid game. Samu has now shone brightly against two top clubs, and some people still dey talk hype. Is it his fault that this is his first pro season? Just say it as it is and hope the boy stays consistent.

The rise of Chukwueze

Samuel Chukwueze celebrates the goal he scored for Villarreal against Spartak Moscow

Villarreal winger Samuel Chukwueze impressed when his side played Barcelona at the Camp Nou on 2 December and he will now get a chance to test himself against Real Madrid on Thursday evening.

Since then, Chukwueze's value has multiplied and the Nigerian is one of the players in Europe's top five leagues who has progressed the most this season, at least according to his market value.

The 2018/19 season started with the player being valued at around 2.5 million euros, though it now rests at close to 7 million, showing an increase of 180 per cent.

Chukwueze, as a result, has had the 11th highest increase in value this season as he has scored four goals in 13 games.

Villarreal tied the player down in the summer, placing release clause of 40 million euros in the 19-year-old's contract.

Hahaha the funniest moniker on this thread. Na just guess I guess from the moniker that’s all. No think far.

do4luv14:
Baba no go spoilt person market ooo
nah 2019 we dey,

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.

Modified
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!!!!

“Chukwueze got that left foot corked”

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.
