junnyjake:
He hasn't done enough.


He shouldn't have made it to the SA camp in the first place, let alone play.

I had never supported it and never will. He was given a chance to show what he's got against SA, Onyekuru was never given and since then he's not gotten a call up.

junnyjake:
Who??

Osimhen or onyekuru?

junnyjake:
Can you explain why Osimhen who had 45 mins game time all season not only made the matchday squad but also playing a part in our defeat to SA?

komekn:
In terms of proven tested experience and a degree of quality I agree with you.

If not for work permit issues I can assure you 100% he would be playing for Brighton in the EPL. Would we then have a different opinion about him.

Which seems such a hypocritical double standard when we are considering youth players for the SE some who havent played 10 games for thier first team. Essentially youth players.

Osmanlispor vs kasimpasa

Omeruo has depreciated badly

If Iwobi is back then we have the full complement of our players. No excuses

A get together will be great but distance will not allow me attend.....

Joebie will make a good journalist if interested. I think he does a great job with his updates.

Bros Icon4s is a chairman. Kog45 is also part of the committee of chairmen.

I love the honesty/bluntness of safarigirl.

Goldfish80 always offers good insights that are sometimes missed.

Goodjoe has very strong valuable opinions even when i do not agree.

Komekn's knowledge of the English game is a real asset.

i think it was Bolton against Manu, he sprinted away from his marker(and the guy wasn't able to keep up) before he unleashed a strike. This was from his Bolton days, when you watch his matches for PSG you will see what he brings

Mickael2:
I actually just did and your assumption that he is not fast even sounds....somehow

Mickael2:
What is the difference between pacy and fast? Pacy is more of like a player who relies on his speed but a fast player is a player who has the speed although he may not use it unless the situation calls for it. Okocha was fast but he relies more on skills

Gerrit?

soetanoreoluwa:
Injury prone... Only if you know how I love this guy called Joel Obi... Hmmm but Na this injury be problem... I was invited last year I guess but injury still stop him...


Just like Owen Hargreaves... Plastic legs everywhere!

TheGoodJoe:
I wonder who will tag Okocha pacy. Unless he has not watched Okocha before.

Mickael2:
that defines precisely what Busquets does for Barcelona but that hasn't prevented him from being nominated for the accolades.


Ok, during his best patch was Mikel ever included in the FIFA best XI? Atleast there is always a DMF there, he has never even been nominated for that one as well

neighy:
lol.. Compared to mikel okocha was very fast and very skillful so he could easily take out defenders ... And mikel has shielding the ball to cover for it

Mickael2:
ok so how many times has Mikel been shortlisted in the....50man list for the Fifa World Best player? Atleast at that stage a lot of 'shields' are seen. Even Keita made it in once. Busquets is a mainstay, Ramos is there just about every year and so many other defensive players. Back to the question, did Mikel make that list after his 'legendary' contributions in 2012?

neighy:
i acknowledge the fact that nothing can be done.. Buh if only he can add pace to his game

TheGoodJoe:
Exactly. Coupled with the fact that Mikel played that Key role for so long at Chelsea during a domestic dominating period and trophy-filled era. That was amazing. Then doing great in the Semi-finals and Finals of the Champions League. Then AFCON. With repeated man to match performances. This should not even be a debate.

TheGoodJoe:
Mikel will not get nominated because he did not play a flamboyant role. It is that simple. Even the board of Real Madrid thought Makelele was useless until they sold him and Zidane criticised the decision. Most times, awards and accolades go to the flamboyant role players.

Mickael2:
Mikel wasn't so famous at Chelsea so Legend? No

Mickael2:
wasn't Kanu part of the team from 96 till 2010? I can remember we made the semis in all but one Afcon he participated and he scored some vital goals and earned some vital penalties and assists as well.


Chelsea's golden era can also be the year they won their first Epl or when they won it under Mou back then or when Ancelotti was destroying teams enroute to a double etc etc

Mickael2:
now I am confused, so despite being a vital player(not vital alone, infact irreplaceable, only about 4 players in that team were irreplaceable) in our first Afcon win since 1994 he isn't a SE legend? But for being a pivotal piece in a star-studded Chelsea team that cost almost 1bn he is a Chelsea legend?

Mickael2:
he appears in just two or three. Can you compare Mikel's achievements to any of Lampard or Drogba?


We did win the Afcon with Mikel holding our midfield, the U20 too(not SE but still) plus Olympics(granted he messed up at the world cup) but he was also great at the Confed cup so SE legend? Absolutely
