My problem with foreign borns is that they tend to expect automatic shirts

tbaba1234:
Let us be clear.. I am for the best players making the team. Any German boy also has to prove that he is up to the task.

I feel Rohr does not have that full confidence in Omeruo because he has left him out a few times. That is why he is looking at the German boys. It is more than likely that he will be the culprit if one of the them joins the team.

realpoacher:
Liar at bolded. .. From your pictures, they both have 7 goals but from these statistics I will choose iheanacho any day, anytime because

1. he achieved in 1000 minutes what it took Tammy Abraham 1800 minutes to do.

2. Secondly he is in a bigger club than Tammy. Leicester has won the league Swansea hast

3. KC has more pedigree than Tammy and had Proven himself at Man City before his move to Leicester

4. He is more stabilized in the SE

So you before you made your allegations you had not got substantive information so you made the allegations based on assumption in the negative.

Before you make an allegation which you made within the last 24 hrs you should know. You can't ask me to find your allegations for you that's ludicrous.

So back to you, I am getting dissapointed I expected more from you. If a few of the emotive and prejudicial led contributors said this I wouldn't even respond. But you who I regard as thinking before speaking and well balanceed. It's not good enough for you.

People are honestly taking things too personal on here...

Are you serious? What were you thinking

I purposely postponed my naija trip to second week in August. I was meant to travel in June/July so I can enjoy those delicious naija corn and pear (ube), then I remembered the world cup and said NO WAY!

You made a clear cut allegation.

I have asked you to substantiate it with specifics and now like a slippery peace of Asepso soap you are being evasive.

I asked you to be specific about the players I have recommended.

You deh dodge I expected more from you.

safarigirl:
we all need to be able to differentiate between a fact and an insult on this thread



You made an unforgivably ignorant statement that the likes of Wales and Scotland fall under England. So, yes, that is, in fact, displaying monstrous ignorance. It is not in any way an insult.

Icon79:
I thank God for Bein Sports, yo. They were the only reason why I didn't switch my cable company this year. Xfinity doesn't have Bein Sport, so I decided to stick with Verizon Fios even though switch was gonna save me almost $20 per month!

I consider you to be informed, conversant and intelligent in the first instance.

Do you not think it will be of benefit to this discourse to be specific and not vague that way other contributors can understand a lot better and even validate your position.

Firstly, unfortunately as compared to the Golden years of the mid 1990's to the early Millennium. We simply don't have many outstanding players in the context of world football.

The proviso you give for selection and or unit of measurement for competence. Is problematic.

Let's forget about top teams for now.

One question ❓ HOW MANY NIGERIAN ORIGIN PLAYERS ARE OUTSTANDING CONSISTENT TOP PERFORMERS IN THIER RESPECTIVE LEAGUES.

Even when you include the backwater leagues of Turkey, Isreal, Cyprus, Holland, Austria, etc we simply do not have many.

This being the case in the absence of the desirable the available becomes desirable. If not for the dearth of quality strikers available to us. Our number one striker KC has scored once in the EPL this season that's not an inspiring statistic.

Our defenders in Turkey are not rated in the top three or best in that league.

Considering then the huge gap between the EPL, and arguably for some the Championship compared to these backwater leagues.

Is it therefore, irrational to then consider average or above average players and or outstanding Nigerian origin players in the English Championship and league one for the SE❓ Do not Forget that Dele Alli, Gomez, Ademola, all left league one straight to the EPL.

Finally, you can not compare scoring 10 goals in the Eredivisie to scoring 5 in the EPL, it's not the same level of quality.

Before I forget who are these players that I have called for that you think aren't good enough Be specific no generalisations please.

komekn:
I do not think anybody is under rating or being dismissive of Ndidi.

What I understand is that people are saying he is an excellent player but not world class yet.

With regards to Ngolo Kante there is the small matter of Leicester city defying all odds and winning the EPL. Of which Ngolo was intrinsic to that success it wasn't because he had the most tackles.

The silver Ware was the icing on the cake and to further buttress his attributes his fellow professionals voted him the best player in EPL. Don't forget that barely 4 years ago he was struggling to find a club side.

When Ndidi wins something and gets some silverware his consistency and week in week out, top performances will give him the recognition he deserves. But until then he's a young prince waiting to be crowned king.

komekn:
Firstly, the basics what does biased mean Unfairly prejudiced for or against someone or something. Once again I am involved with English football primarily and therefore it's not bias to talk from a standpoint of knowledge quite often first hand. It would be nonsensical rambling for me to be talking about Nigerian league and as such I leave it for those in the know like BascoVanVeli, TheGoodJoe, etc.

Which country has the overwhelming highest number of Nigerian origin players in the world outside of Nigeria So it makes rational sense to concentrate on the biggest pool of potential talent. It's not sentimental prejudice it's common sense.

With regards to quality are you saying the EPL is not quality Which league had the overwhelming highest number of clubs in the last 16 of the Champions league

I have always said the EPL is the most physically taxing, highest tempo and competitive league. I did not say the most technically astute. In this regard La Liga is better technically speaking even possibly Seria A.

tbaba1234:
He is doing what DMs are there for... Disrupting play.

Apart from the limited experience at top level, Ndidi ability is world class.. He was playing under 17 in 2013.. Topping the whole of Europe with your tackling and interceptions is not an easy feat

tbaba1234:
Even taking the injury into consideration, Samuel has played only 4 games more than Simon so they are certainly comparable.

I watch their games regularly. Samuel Kalu has been involved in more goals than Simon.

Mujtahida:
Hahahaha hahahaha. I just realised I didn't hear about him again after those debut goals. Wish him well still.

safarigirl:
welcome to the thread sir, and thanks for the special shout out

Oga Joebie is in charge of udeme here, so, you can meet him for your bottle. We hope to see your contributions as we go

ChrisKels:
Lol uv rly fallen in love with this kid that u had to screenshot this with an almost empty battery

I'm tempted to clamor for the inclusion of this boy in our next get together at least as a training cone but make I leave him till after the world cup make person no break my head here

Icon79:
Actually, it wasn't just Reuben alone. We can excuse him if he had fumbled on only one or two players, but Keshi fumbled on:

Michael Uchebo
Shola Ameobi
Ejike Uzoenyi
Kunle Odunlami
Ramon Azeez
Uche Nwofor

And I can go on and on. So it wasn't just one player. The entire bench was useless - sold to the highest bidder.

ChrisKels:
I av always been ur fan especially those days u were feeding us with Belgian league updates. Whatever happened to those updates

tbaba1234:
Sadiq Umar is enjoying his eredivise adventure.. I think, he is better than this league but not yet at Serie A level.

gamaliel9:
Who is Kayembe? At Nantes

ChrisKels:
One commentator just said "that Umar guy is a nightmare to Eredivisie defenders" lol barely two months after joining them.

They will now downgrade Eredivisie because it is Umar showing his stuffs but when Solanke was with Vittesse, the league was hyped to high heavens.

I will keep bursting ur bubbles

Kog45:
Yes Emenalo played for Eintracht Trier in Germany,a regional league and prior to US 94 was clubless,meaning is not about local coaches but personality.

I want to tell you Rohr is getting it right just cos he is sincere or do you want us to dig out atrocities of some foreign managers who handled eagles.

Truidstar:
. I still remember that match shuaibu Amodu handled against Sudan. A world cup qualifier. Yakubu Aiyegbeni and Aghahowa dealt with Sudan. We won 4-0 away I think. Amodu was never given a chance to handle us at the world cup.

tbaba1234:
Iheanacho, one of the top performers even though, he did not start.

As usual, Ndidi leading in the tackles department.

forgiveness:
You are not making any sense. If your answer is yes then keep mute and save me from wasting time..

As for you, my impression is, you don't think at all.

komekn:
I will not tag you anti- English but I will say you are emotively biased against Tega. Firstly, they are completely not on the same level.

But before we proceed I advise don't believe everything you read, I would say that's false news.

Sadiq is 21, he is not outstanding in any league he has played. Lukaku who was an outstanding talent didn't even get to play any reasonable number of games irrespective of his huge price tag at the time. Sadiq is not as good as Lukaku.

In comparison Tega Abrahams played 48 games in the Championship and scored 26 goals. Has played 79 senior professional games and scored 33 goals. You could call him a seasoned professional at his very young age. In the EPL he has scored only 4goals after 23 games there is much room for improvement, it's simply not good enough.

Umar Sadiq a total of 17 career games and 3 goals at his age of 21 at this stage he should be established. He is barely knocking on the door of a professional career. The way football is progress by 21 you should be showing ability not just promise.

I am sorry statistically he is a non-starter compared to Tega. With those stats he will struggle to get a national league side forget the championship or even league 1.
