No u shouldn't. Neither should u reduce the player. You insinuated that he could be converted to a keeper. How does that sound to u? goldfish80: Should I buy into the hype that he's better than Salah because he's one of our best players? Not giving honor to whom honor is due is a very stereotypical small man mindset. |

Sadiq is better than van Persie and Suarez put together. Take it or leave it. andrew444: Van persie is never a better player than Suarez take it or leave it.
The highest goal scored in a premier league season is 31 and its between cronaldo alan shearer and Luis suarez,thou mohammed salah will break that record soon
Suarez only spend 3 seasons in the premier league and he scored 69 premier league goals in 110 games.
Van persie spend 11 seasons in the EPL and he did well.
Van persie is 34 and suarez is 31,Suarez is younger and has scored more career goals than van persie,that said it all,if you doubt me check google for stats.
Ven persie is a world class player...But Suarez is a better player than him...take it or leave it |

impossible with no exceptions, really?  komekn: The question ❓ lacks merit because it has to be taken in context.
With the current working permit laws in England it is impossible for any uncapped player in African football to go straight to the EPL more matter how good his is.
Unless he wins some form of international accolade.
However, with Francophone African countries it's quite normal for players to go from Senegalese local league to the French league 2. Indeed some ex Portuguese colonial African nations like Guinea Bissau can access the Portuguese league very easily from local league.
Now these clubs take advantage of Africans in France and Portugal to bring players in on slave wages and sell shortly afterwards for big money transfers.
So in understanding the idea of a club having a better or good scouting programme must be appreciated with the framework they work in.
So the question is simply a waste of time. |

I believe he spent only 1 minute on the pitch on that faithful day  Modified I believe he played mostly as a CF in his U17 days. But he's not had much game time so far this year. edi287: Didn't know he could also play as CF. Wouldn't mind if he made the 35 man squad. |

Nedum Onuoha on teammate, Ebere Eze:
"Ebere has an awful lot of potential; he's a very exciting player.
"We see him every day Monday through Friday and he's finally getting an opportunity.
"I think that further down the line you could really see an exceptional talent for the club.
"It was a good goal; I'm not sure if the one-two with Matt Smith was intentional but the composure he showed going through didn't surprise me one bit. Technically, he's one of the best players I've seen at the club." |

My updated 35 man list
I had to squeeze Samuel Kalu and Ebere Eze in somehow. We cannot afford to lose a fast rising talent to Scotland. The numbers to the right will be the final pics for each position to make the 23-man list. I think the competition will be fierce for all the positions. It will definitely bring out the best in them.

I remember Atlanta 96 while still very young, Kanu was one of the players we criticized leading to that semi-final game against Brazil. But after that famous semi final win, Kanu have been celebrated till this very day as one of the major reasons why we won gold. How about we count Umar's performance against Germany as one of his bad days. Looking at the full picture, 4 goals in 6 games in a tournament is pretty impressive for any forward. He had a decent tournament. We cannot criticize him for just one bad show. Modified You talk about Awoniyi like you have forgotten his U17 and U20 days too soon. Fine, he experienced a dip at some point.. But he's been impressive since moving to the Jupiler league.. Please let's focus on the present. Awoniyi is back. Umar is performing shekina.. I would invite both to camp. Mickael2: first of all, if not for Umar we would have defeated Germany in the semifinal as simple as that and the number of chances he missed in the losers final was just baffling. if you are the striker in your team and your team scores five goals in a match without you having a hand in any then you are poor. he had a poor tournament as simple as that.
Umar is faster than Awoniyi. Awoniyi is not fast at all, it was exposed during the U20 when he had to play from the wings and during the Olympics qualifiers when he and Ajayi had to alternate between playing as a winger and a striker and his lack of pace was exposed. |

Good move for his development. ChrisKels: Gent Searching For Replacement In Nigeria For Ligue 1 Bound Samuel Kalu
Top division Belgium side Gent are currently resigned to losing their talented Nigerian forward Samuel Kalu, who is close to joining a team in the French Ligue 1.
Last night Kalu scored the only goal for Gent in their 1-0 win over Club Brugge in the Belgium play-offs, and shortly after the game, a club source revealed to Owngoalnigeria.com that the 20 year old will leave the club in January.
Since joining Gent two seasons ago from Slovakian side AS Trencin, Kalu has improved tremendously with 10 goals and 16 assists in the 47 matches he has played since his move to the club.
” He is off in the summer to a French Ligue 1 team. The deal is as good as done from what I’m hearing. As a matter of fact Gent are already in the market for a new wing forward and they prefer a Nigerian”, Owngoalnigeria.com transfer expert Daniel Martins revealed.
” The transfer fee could be in the region of 8-10 million Euros with a particular percentage due to his former side AS Trencin. Gent will also demand a sell on clause in his deal when he moves to the Ligue 1 “. |

ok then, so what advantage has Umar over Ajayi? Modified. Let me help you with the previous question. Ajayi has been used mostly on the left wing.. Good goal return. But I won't invite him over Umar unless I want a versatile forward. Danielnino00: I really can't say.. .. |

1. On the GK position, let's not flog a dead horse. We just don't have the options. 2. Like I already asked, why Ajayi over Umar? 3. Why are we still flirting with Agbo, or don't we have more competition at DM? I want to believe Esiti has had a better campaign this season in the same Jupiler league. Or maybe we should give Ogude from the Russian Premier league a look in. Or should we give the older Nwakali another chance? Other than the above, my updated list would look almost identical to yours. Danielnino00: My 35-man world cup preliminary squad list ..
* - very certain to make the last 23 **- possibly make the last 23 but not certain ***- might make the last 23 but with slim chances
Goalkeepers(5)
Uzoho* Ezenwa* Akpeyi** Alampasu*** Ajiboye/Ejide/Aiyenubga

Forwards(10) Moses* Musa* Iwobi* Iheanacho* Ighalo* Simeon* Kayode** Dessers *** Ajayi*** Kalu***
But I believe the 35 man list will b just formality sake... Most of us already know the final squad by heart ... It would b good if Rohr use the DR Congo friendly to try out some fringe players before including them in the 35 man list.. or just use the friendly to cut down the list to 30. Either way,he should give the new invitees a chance..he should stop this Uche Agbo treatment abeg.. |

How was Iwobi's performance today, and what are the same fans saying? goldfish80: One of the most hilarious things I read on this thread was that Arsenal fans single out Iwobi for criticism because he dumped England for Nigeria, when 90% of Arsenal fans aren't English.
