Not necessarily. I'm not saying he should turn to the rock just add a little bulk and serious strength to help him be more imposing on the field of play. What's the point of more mobility when you can be bullied off the ball so easily.

Movement yes I agree that's where the strength and durability comes in.

A good midfielder must know what to do with ball and close spaces,not necessarily imposing.

TheGoodJoe:
Kelechi Nwakali does not get bullied off the ball because of his quick playing style. He releases the ball fast, drifts into free spaces to give him more time on the ball and has some smooth skills to sail put of tight spaces.

What he needs is to move more and command more areas. Not bulking which will defeat the earlier aim of mobility.

Henry Nwosu,James Obiorah,Emma Ebiede,Duke Udi,Christian Obodo,Jay Jay Okocha are midfielders who only did it with the ball and off the ball it seemed they are nothing but their contributions to the team were immensely…Walahi Mourinho killed Mikel for us,our Mikel was almost turned to a fighter.Imagine Mikel under Guardiola.….Kelechi Nwakili only need right coach to excel not gym

charlesemeka85:
lol I guess they wanted him on loan

Clubs like Roma bring in players only via loan and free transfers

Those Italian clubs me I no Dey understand their transfer

charlesemeka85:
I never said it’s not a good move but using the word vindicated is a no for me

I will only accept that if he attracts a move away from Chaves after 1 or 2 seasons to any of Portuguese big clubs or midtable clubs in Spain,France, epl or Germany 🇩🇪

A move to Chaves which is a top flight team is just ok but not commendable to me. Even with such move getting invitation to the national team won’t be easy unless he’s putting out superb performances with mouth watering figures via goals and assist to show for it

Aribo played nothing last season and still got invitations.

I disagree that it would be a huge task for him to get invitation Abi no be our super eagles again,nothing special in our midfield that would stop average performing midfielder to get invitation.

How many assists Aribo and Onyeka got last season,apart from Iwobi i don’t see anything special in our midfield.

Attitude problems. Decent talent but doesn't have the right mentality of a winner.

Yes very poor attitude right from KFA in Ilorin but Dennis agent na correct o

chrisooblog:
Hi egbon what I meant about hitting the gym is adding strength and weight to his physique so that he will have more grit and durability to withstand challenges which comes with the territory of being a midfielder.

Yes I'll be happy for Nwakali if he can go to Portugal to revive his career.

I got your point wella but I have seen different midfielders with different physiques but when a player see right coach then no issues.

Great commentator Ernest Okokwo

I saw Keshi,Yekini and Rufai in Alcon 84 team and the trios still made WC 94 team,infact Keshi made 82 Afcon while Rufai and Yekini made France 98 team….but to some our players don’t last in the game.

BascoVanVeli:
They can't buy themselves na. They have to remain professional

I know but some players do force themselves out.Hope they see right offer

BascoVanVeli:
Leicester City friendly. Ndidi and Iheanacho are entering the game

Are these guys staying with Leicester in championship

chrisooblog:
This part I don't get about the guy. Or he needs to hit the gym to bulk up ni?

Time is running out for him because we're just a fantastic debut season away for either Eletu or Ebenezer forgetting about Nwakali as far as SE is concerned.

First question,moving from relegated Segunda team to Portugal league is what?hitting the gym?

All Nwakili need is right coach that will believe in him and shake things up.If he is not ambitious he would have put pen on paper for Santander in Segunda again,so let’s just wish the young man well,hope the deal works out.

Yes you are right on Eletu and Ebenezer but you know what,it is good having your players doing it in top tier leagues,having the likes of Alhassan,Onyedika,Eletu,Ebenezer,Nwakili,Frank Onyeka,Joe Aribo,Ndidi and Iwobi is a big plus for our midfield.

charlesemeka85:
vindicated cus em join lowly rated Chaves wey fit relegate next season? In the portuguese league if u don’t play for porto,benfica,sporting and braga u re more or less in the same bracket with 2nd tier players in England,Spain,Germany and Italy 🤣🤣

Also aside the 4 top Portuguese clubs I mentioned others don’t pay well

At Chaves Nwakali is highly likely to earn below 10k euros weekly

Yes vindicated cuz I said better for him to join any division one team than Segunda league.

Nobody rate 2nd tier European leagues with Portugal league.Yes monetary wise England championship is ahead but generally,second tier leagues in Spain,Germany and Italy are not at par with Portuguese primera league.

Yes earning 10k euros weekly is cool based on what he earned in Segunda even Chuckwueze in la liga is earning poor wages,so to me is a good leap for him from Segunda to Portugal first tier league.

charlesemeka85:
he hv offers from 2nd tier teams in Spain but turned all down

Discussion with chaves is ongoing but nwakali is insisting on a 2 years deal agreement before he signs

I hope it materializes cuz I will be vindicated on my stance on Nwakili

charlesemeka85:
Portuguese top tier club GD Chaves interested in Kelechi Nwakali

Czech and Danish clubs interested too

Good for him if he can get first tier club in Europe than wasting in second tier division and from reliable source Nwakili is avoiding second division teams to boost his chances with Super Eagles.

I said it here that only first division will give him real opportunity in eagles.I hope Chaves deal materialized than all these average Segunda clubs.

charlesemeka85:
will be awesome if it happens. It’s high time politicians leave the sports sector entirely for pple who re well experienced in that field

Ex internationals like olofinjana, emenalo, oliseh, kanu, tijani, eguavoen etc should be the ones manning positions in the nff not politicians who know nothing with regards to that sector

Do you think Okocha can do it cuz Daniel Amokachie was a special assistant on sport to Buhari and nothing special happened.

timiade446:
Congratulations

Covid:
2023 election has proven that:
80% of Nigerians dey mad and they don't deserve good life

Nobody Dey mad maybe you sha….Nigerians picked their candidates based on tribalism,religion and I know you did the same thing so stop forming holy here cuz your candidate lost out in rigging elections that Tinubu,Atiku and Obi aided.

Tinubu Alpha beta gate
Atiku Jefferson gate
Obi pandora gate

Hypocrisy full here plenty.

oonyeoma50:
This can only happen in Yoruba land💯

Yoruba people are quick to anger, heartless and unforgiving.

Just look at what they did

Hmmm by the time the identities of the lovers are revealed now I know you will change your mouth if they are from your tribe.

Well the same Ajegunle produced Samson Siasia,Emma Amuneke and Odion Ighalo if I may ask are they Yoruba.

The thread dry today wetin happen guys,make una no tell me say Nigeria fuel price Dey affect una o.

Razakki1:
get out, go and die

See your life! I don exposed your stupidity and clowning here and what remains than to “dey rumble” like idiot here talking nonsense defending your slave masters like slowpoke learning how to craw like a kid….continue your begging attitude cuz your forefathers are beggars,no wonder despite stealing government money meant for good people of Kwara state “na to Dey build houses” ha walahi to ba ri Ile ti Alhaji ko” mumu set of people who are living on religion to deceive the gullibles….mind you am a real Ilorin man to the core.

Razakki1:
LL lol Lagos is a Muslim pupulated state. we are more than you people there. Even osun. We Yoruba Muslims are over 65% of the population, keep dreaming. You said we are poor in kwara but you come to kwara for jobs. Kwara is blessed with lot of untapped mineral resources. I know you are from Ekiti poverty state

Razaq I know you are from Kwara state.Pls are you happy with what is going on in the state regarding development where some people would just get government appointments to enrich themselves.Yes there is poverty in the land and last primary elections testified to that when performing senator Oloriegbe lost to money bag Saliu Mustapha who has nothing to offer than just to give money out due to high poverty rate in the state.We said enough of Oloye Saraki style of politics but the same Ilorin people embraced the same style from Saliu Mustapha…..Oga Ilorin people rule Kwara State with impunity and they don’t care,treating other senatorial districts as slaves .I don’t want to go into religion aspect but you know what xtians are facing in Ilorin,even ordinary low cadre employments are for Muslims…..it’s a pity how learned people in the name of religion seeing the truth but looking other ways.Imagine praying on the federal roads during jumat,stopping motorist from passing for more than an hour..My man nawa o

Couldntfigurean:
i thinks that was last year,this year yoruba muslims will have grown to like 75%
Majority of Yoruba states are majority Muslims,even Ekiti has like 50% Yoruba muslim

Are you saying Ondo,Ekiti and Ogun state have more Muslims than christians.I can tell you Lagos states have more Christian than Muslims and it showed in the last elections.If Sanwo Olu is a Muslim I bet it with you he would have lost that election…..Osun and Oyo states is 50/50.The Tinubu DG campaign failed to understand that Tinubu being a Yoruba man lost in two out of six Yoruba states.If Yoruba really went through religious lines I bet it with you Tinubu would have lost all the yoruba states especially Ekiti and Ondo leaving only Oyo and Ogun for him to grab which is 50/50

Kai Ilorin people fear them o…when it comes to politics they used religion to annex other Muslims in the state but when it comes positioning Kai na shege for Kwara South and North….this issue of Yoruba festival cannot hold cuz the yorubas Muslims in the South are ready to do Ilorin bidding in the name of Islamic religion,forgetting that it was a slap on Yoruba heritage.The Christians in Ilorin don’t even care cuz they have been sidelined since 1999 till date,

Pls can anyone name the ex internationals in the picture

From my own opinion, the federal government is in support of all these.
If the federal government really care,they should obey court order and release Mazi Nnamdi Kanu.
His release will send these criminals packing.

Are you saying releasing Kanu would bring peace?if it’s true then I support it but what of Simon Ekpa giving directive from Finland and very gullible people are obeying him.

Supremos:
How many times will the governors like Soludo, Peter mba of Enugu state and other leaders has asked FG to release Kanu to them?. The chief terrorist himself Buhari said he will allow the Court to do their job. Then court summoned courage and did the acquittal, yet he told DSS to continue to detain him. Are you ignorant of all this?

Sir are you part of UGM?cuz it seems you have sympathy for them cuz your comments here damn too watery.

It will never be well with those supporting the killing of Igbos and anybody supporting this carnage in eastern part of Nigeria will see the wrath of God soon.

If not nonsense who is Kanu Nnamdi in Igbo land and one very average Simon Ekpa is enjoying freedom in far away Finland but causing wahala at home and some stupid learned fellows on Facebook,twitter and even here are supporting him.

Listen man,if Nigeria would divide it wouldn’t be through violence or war again and we are getting there sooner or later so stop talking nonsense here especially for the sake of innocent Igbo people doing their legitimate businesses in SE.

Supremos:
I've always known you to be an imp. The people you mentioned are they your president and head of security operatives?. Ohanaeze has been calling for the release of KANU so as to that he can talk to this people, Obi has been calling for negotiation with the group, same as Oby and others you mentioned.

Which power so they have that you want to blame them?

Yes you are right they are not president but if President Tinubu unleashes Army on UGM hope it will not be FG declares war on SE.

Even though our cb is not too good ,I believe if d midfield problem is solve ..we re good to go…a good midfield will make ur defense superb

Yes you are right,since Mikel left na story o

Joebie:
We are yet to see what Osho can do in the EPL. Ekpiteta is good but not match fit after a hamstring.

Osho is ahead of Marvin by virtue of helping his team’s promotion

Honestly we need young CBs in eagles especially those that are ready to play for Nigeria.I think Shawn is ready if he get the invitation but I don’t know how good he is,any info on him?
