oloriooko: who is this ugochukwu in Burnley's MF Not bad player
Initially bought by Chelsea and signed on a 7 year with great expectations. He was unable to claim position in Chelsea after several loans Burnley bought him.
Is he exceptional it's too early to say but playing week in week out is much better for his development and career.
Kog45: MONEY MONEY,so good moved for him financially....Osayi from Fenerbache to Birmingham is money...Osho from ligue 1 to English league 2 is money....black players need money to secure their future..do you know that Chuckwueze started making money in AC Milan just to tell you is not that easy,till date Awaziem yet to make real football money.
Years ago I said Awaziem was not good enough for the SE many disagreed.
He struggled to become relevant in the French, Portuguese and La Liga not sure where he is now probably Turkey 🦃 in obscurity.
opes: He got invitation already and included in the England U18 squad for the Costa de la Luz International Tournament in Spain. Goodluck to him on his England Journey
Chelsea bought him from Charlton good forward player that should not spend too much time in Chelsea youth ranks .
elyte89: Looking at the way Premier League clubs are spending heavily on strikers like Šeško, Newcastle’s forward, and other players who have actually scored fewer goals at their respective clubs last season it seems obvious that Premier League teams intentionally avoided Osimhen. It’s not as if they couldn’t afford him even with his salary demands.I feel the reasons go beyond football.
VO is playing in the Turkish retirement league that might be an an additional reason if we decide to ignore his astronomical wage demands.
But it's irrelevant he has decided that Turkey is what he wants.
chrisooblog: What has his age got to do with his contributions to the SE?
Even if he's 44 I can be less bothered as long as he's performing his role in the team.
By the way I repeat 'less desirable and available' has league and cup titles to his name o.
You are being very narrow minded in addition you don't have a progressive mind set.
Top teams don't rely on longevity of player that's mediocrity, but keeping looking for better players to improve the quality of the team.
Zaidu is a low quality player, who had barely played any football for the past two seasons o account of injury 🤕 irrespective of playing in Porto , he is not good enough.
He is officially 28 and you know the Nigerian dynamics ( football ⚽ age) how long before you see a drop in capacity and ability. You are not being realistic and forward thinking.
3 years ago or thereabouts I said he would not get into the Fulham FC bench when they were in the Championship. Many of you contented furiously with me but not on facts or objectivity.
Fast forward today Fulham current LB is considered one of the best if not best LB in the EPL and you are talking about his league titles which he is not pivotal to that ascdency.
The SE requires a competent top level LB that's technically astute that has consistent quality end product.
Not holding on to a water carrier that had such poor end product and a liability with his rash challenges.
KiNg0G: As a man from a poor background struggling day and night trying to make ends meet in his early youth age is there any chances he can one day get to marry a wealthy lady in the future unexpectedly.
I mean we have so many wealthy people in nigeria, go to the north, the west and even the east. Generational wealths, politicians, companies owners, car dealers, rich rich folks like I can't help to think who do their daughter's marry to.
This baffles me so much, Will it be possible for a bricklayer to get married to the daughter of a senator Just for once one day in Nigeria. Or a phone repairer getting married to a daddy go daughter and more
I'm asking this questions for myself because of the dream I had few years ago about the wealthy family I married into, that's why I am still single waiting. Pls advise me if I am wasting my time or it might one day come to pass. I should still hold on
Very very very very HIGH.
PARTICULARLY if he can show substantively high level 🎚️ of Continuous consistent outstanding integrity, Righteousness, selfless behaviour and in his community and associations.
I come across multiple Nigerian origin females who are high achievers crying 😭 for a Nigerian husband that meets the criteria l mentioned.
charlesemeka85: from day one u have never said anything positive about this kid
You and him agent get issue?
You are very observant he doesn't have an agent per se, but a good team in alliance with agents including a PR company.
I have told you that football ⚽ is about OPPORTUNITY and who is selected to get the opportunity. You will be amazed at the level 🎚️ of manipulation, posturing including misrepresentations and Favouritism anchored ⚓ on conflicting pecuniary interests that are brought into play to make a player successful.
Go and watch Ben Doak's highlights on YouTube who has just been sold to Bournemouth for £25 million at age 19, then get back to me. And I will attempt to expand.
chrisooblog: Aina is great at LB and RB nobody is denying that.
The argument is that it in the context of the same SE he's best suited to operate in the RB position because unlike the LB position there are not many decent backups in the right fullback position. Osayi hasn't really lived up to expectations.
Zaidu yes is technical limited but definitely more than decent. He was there throughout when we got to the final last year and he seems to be back to fitness. Bruno is getting better in the role however the arrival of Felix Agu should bring that needed quality in the LB from what I saw in the Unity Cup.
If injuries happen and we need someone to slot in at LB yes Aina would be my go to guy but in the mean time we need him in the RB position.
With regards to the LB position, my view remains Zaidu is poor quality and has lots of running but nothing else, end product zero.
Then again I remember my adage. , "When the desirable is not 🚫 available the available becomes desirable"
Add to the woes of Zaidu he is officially 28 what's his shelf Life as it stands 🤔
Maladaise: The 17 year old kid that just bagged the match winning goal for Liverpool in a keenly contested game against Newcastle is Nigerian- Rio Ngumoha.
I bet NFF don't even know about this kid.
I am not sure he knows anything about Nigeria from what I've seen of him. In addition I've heard ( rumour) he has no relationship with his Father that's why he refused to have his Father's name on his Jersey just Rio.

To put it simply Zaidu is a water 💦 carrying carpenter that can run fast but not faster than Aina. He is technically very poor and with low level football intelligence.
Aina could play midfield very easily for Nigeria as well as RB and RW he has arguably the best passing range end product in the team.
If we can't find a quality top level technically astute LB then we should let Aina play LB and get someone else to play RB the problem is who though 😔
Meliforme: He is the most technical Super Eagles player.
Ejuke's improvement is dazzling, I mean so overwhelming.
Remember i was the first to talk about Maduka Okoye's massive improvement. I was heavily criticised, i was asked how many matches of him have i seen of recent. I was very angry (even though I shouldn't be), but we see what we see.
I'm not sure what your definition of technical superiority is but a few questions.
How many goals , assists etc has he scored is he an outstanding player in his league and club ❓
In the past 5 years he has never scored more than 5 league goals in a season.
BankyGee: Person say he dey technically astute to dey play either side, na him Nuno Espirito no dey gamble that rubbish?
Someone is literally one of the top "right-backs" in the EPL and person say make them astutically play am for left when we have multiple good natural left-backs available.
Chelle should just play him on his natural position abeg.
The term natural is ambiguous implying better the way you use it.
Aina has played as left back as well as in the midfield in the EPL for Nottingham forest.
Zaidu ,Bruno, etc maybe natural left footers but Aina is still way better than them even on the left . Below Aina playing left back for Forest against yes, Manchester City.
And you are saying natural position 🤔 incidentally Nuno played Aina as a left back against Manchester City, therefore according to you Nuno is rubbish.
Philosopher1979: Now that lukaku is injured, Napoli must regret selling osimhen, These european teams dont know what they lost with osimhen. Now that isak is no longer interested in playing for them, osimhen would have being a good alternative. if osimhen was in newcastle they can easily call isaks bluff out cause they have a replacement. Osimhen is underrated. Even me used to underate him. The turkish people seem to rate and understand him better. Liverpool might even still need him as the season gets harder. Even real madrid. Osihmen is even better at contributing to defence than most strikers. He is good at team work tracking back to mark. He can even play as a winger. These top 5 league people made a mistake by refusing so spend on him. Time will tell.
Everything you have said is wishful thinking 🤔 IF
IF is a very big word , Turkish league is a retirement lower quality league.
BankyGee: Any coach wey ever play Ola Aina for left-back again, God fit pvnish am o. We have Agu and Onyemaechi on the left and they're both good, please play Aina on the effing right for God's sake!
Actually Ola Aina is technically astute to play on either the left or right it doesn't really matter.
I would not say any of your preferred players are better than him.
BlackViper: And just like that, they have cleverly and stylishly nullified whistle blowing.
It will take effect from January 1st 2026 which means that in the year leading up to the 2027 General Election, any investigative journalist who uncovers any documentary evidence of diversions of public revenue to fund campaigns by politicians, will find himself or herself in hot water if they go public with their findings. God help us all.
The renewed hope agenda
And national assembly passed it without question ⁉️
And if you take it to court the " Criminal Justice ⚖️ system will.pass ratify it without contest.
Let's just come to the realisation, you vote or you don't vote, the mafia criminal Capon is taking this election 2027.
Why don't we just make the criminal Jagaban and his family President for life " ad infinitum" let's just know we are not a democracy but something else with a Emperor who is the law and above it.
Titian22: Nigeria players are playing to escape poverty not for passion so all this moves are justified
How much money 🤑💰💵💸 is enough for one not to be poor and or to have "escape poverty"
I think 💬🤔 the problem is , "Poverty Mentality" in fact this is the Nigerian problem. We have politicians who have stolen so much money that it will extend to their fourth generation.
But poverty mentality makes them still steal more and more plus more.and they are never satisfied. They don't think of an everlasting legacy of a good name, honour, recognition and fame.
Our football players follow the same pattern largely money over worldwide recognition adulation and fame.
charlesemeka85: I don’t bother posting about the lad here though have heard about his talent playing for Liverpool’s youth team because I know he will be a tough one to get now that there is too much hype surrounding him
I only quoted your post to correct you that he is Nigerian. I don’t see him playing for us
In football ⚽ opportunity can be much more important than actual ability.
Once Ngouhma was bought from Chelsea as an exceptional talented footballer ⚽ he was earmarked as that GUY.
The problem is that decision has to be justified by not allowing other players to be seen to be better than him.
Rio played 24 games for Liverpool U18's but scored just 2 goals. This is a team with instructions to give him the ball at every opportunity. I felt there were three Nigerian origin players just as good or possibly better and one Jamaican who was potentially better.
Three of the players are younger than him faster, more athletic and two far better finishers one is still 15. But this is the politics of football it's not always about the best. In addition you will quite often have conflicting interests.
In addition the over hype around Rio can also be engineered he has a PR company working for him. On account of that he has now a fab sponsorship deal with Adidas.
charlesemeka85: Ngumoha is an igbo name and his middle name is CHIMA which means “God Knows”
Unless Congo pple don Dey bear Igbo names
Dude l have seen him several times and the guys (agents) around him are Congolese and wrongfully assumed him to be Congolese. He doesn't show any Naija vibe too so I assumed he was not .
Well I just called someone this evening that plays with him in the Academy and you are completely RIGHT he is Nigerian origin.
That's added to the contingent of Nigeria origin players in Liverpool FC Academy although they lost three Nigerian origin players one not good and the other two exceptional.
Nonetheless, there are still at least 12 Nigerian origin players from U16 to U18 left at Liverpool FC academy.
Goke7: Trash, so every player currently in the epl has never fallen out with any coach or anybody. If English clubs don’t want or rate him it’s fine but to say it’s character it’s dubious
Keep telling lies to justify hatred! Why is no epl club bidding for Lookman or did he abuse anybody father too, you’ve been quiet on this but focusing on VO!
I like to be concise and not deviate.
The topic of discussion is VO why do should I talk about Ademola ❓
I did not say that's the reason VO wasn't signed by any Premier League club. I have said because Napoli over priced and over valued VO doesn't require all clubs to follow Napoli.
Goke7: Gala didn’t do background checks abi, cos it’s only in England they play football, trash!
You have been left behind o cos you’re talking as if VO is clubless!
Standards of probity, integrity and etiquette will differ from league to League, nation to nation.
For instance you can openly condemn people of the "GABRIEL" persuasion and call 🤙🏿 for their heads 🗣️ to be cut off very easily in Saudi Arabia, and most of Africa.
Try that in Europe you will find yourself in unnecessary public contention.
Any issue that cause public outrage, consider Mason Greenwood,what did he do before he was crucified, ostracized and kicked out of Manchester United.
You have been left behind in outdated bubble of ignorance.
Titian22: You think only Nigerians know of his insults on Finidi. You guys think this guys will just recruit you without doing background checks and relating with past coaches that managed him before
Let me add to what you have said.
Anything you have said on social media over the past 10 years will be looked at and assessed.
If by over indulgence you said Arne Slot is an idiot and a carpenter in a careless comment on social media.
Titian22: 🗣: Former England striker, Gary Lineker, has said that top European clubs, which he heard on the grapevine, didn't show interest in Victor Osimhen due to his character concerns.
" I do hear on the Grapevine that a reason one or two of the clubs are a bit nervous is that he sometimes can go missing for a few days; apparently, there is a slight question mark as to his character."
That's essentially codswallop.
EPL Clubs assessed his performance and had a dramatically different valuation than his parent club Napoli.
