TheGoodJoe:

Please, the people at FIFA who decided to opt for the MRI scan due to its high accuracy, read far more peered review articles on this matter than you can even imagine. One of your biggest challenges is that you run with the little you know on a topic and think you know it all.

Can you even phantom the number of medical professionals that work with FIFA? The number of medical consultants etc.

Just chill please, you can not disprove the accuracy of the MRI scan.

The MRI scan is 100% accurate but the data that underpins the deduction of bone fusion is NOT.

And if you do not know.

Educate yourself subscribe to an academic journal Portal. Otherwise you will think you know but you do not.

TheGoodJoe:
You did not substantiate anything. We broke down everything and the accuracy was proven and clear as daylight. You are doing as if the discussion was not all centred around academic articles.

Do you understand the implications of a peer reviewed publication.

It's not hearsay , it's not opinionated or preferential schmaltzy but empirical research.

I have nothing more to say.

chuks404:
this guy is a huge talent. Seriously he deserves to be in super eagles.

Is he the top goal scorer in his league, thats too much but at least in the top 5 ❓

What has he done in club and league that makes him outstanding ❓

TheGoodJoe:


Stop playing games. We have discussed this at length. You are well schooled on the accuracy of the MRI Scan. If you deny it, you are not deceiving anyone.

I substantiated my position not with an opinion but with a published paper in established academic journal.

So unless you have a published paper then not sure who you are schooling.

TheGoodJoe:
Uzoho passed the MRI scan which is a highly accurate test for determining U17 players. Leave the fake news. People like when they want to pull people down.

No it is not.

Akuko.. Master of false narratives... Here's Emeka saying it himself that his guy is 32..
Something dey worry you...

Akuko.. Master of false narratives... Here's Emeka saying it himself that his guy is 32..
Something dey worry you...

Let me quote charlesemeka verbatim his last concluding paragraph.

I only guessed that uzoho should be in his early 30s or late 20s(he can be 27-29)

Nothing More to be said

Danielnino00:
You said Iyke is currently 32 years old.. That means that in 2010, he was 20!
WTF bro?
Answer the question Chris asked you..Did Iyke tell you he was one of the agbayas in his class ?

Stop creating a false narrative to suit your own imagination.

He gave an age range from 27-32 .

charlesemeka85:
forget sue matter, this na common practice amongst sports men from Africa,South America and the Caribbean

Also I never said the uzoho is older nor of the same age with the guy I got the info from but stating that for the guy to be 32 already that uzoho logically should be also in his early 30s or late 20s

Many here hv made claims of how ex international and current footballers cheats when it comes to age so why the sudden twist of tongue? He isn’t the first to indulge in such practice and won’t be the last

I wonder how many the npfl player who secured a move to the Swedish league and was mocked for being an age cheat hv sued since then

Still waiting for Kanu to sue his former boss at Portsmouth who openly stated though jokingly that the Nigerian legend was above 40 when he got him signed for the epl side then after leaving westbrom

Thank you

elyte89:
Bro aw do u stream epl/European matches in uk?

I have a subscription with BT Sport primarily, multiple channels and sometimes I am in Europe.

I am not saying it's right, but the end justifies the means. The obsessive linkage between age and monetary value for football players is institutional.

African players are at a blatant disadvantage and this is one of the means to mitigate against this practice and give yourself a fighting chance..

Thats not to say age cheating is right. But age discrimination across the board with a good dose of racism, are also catalysts to the issue.

However, sometimes we African over do it.

I was at youth game for Manchester city FC , and there were two Congolese born players playing in the U13. They were destroying everybody.

They claimed to be 11but were bigger stronger than anybody else but in my opinion very minimum age they could be was 15 and even 16/17 very likely.

They will go far but when those English boys of 13 grow at 16 then that advantage will have been reduced if not overtaken. But at this stage they will already be in the system and even if they don't make first team.

These two Congolese boys might end up in the Championship getting £20k a week for the next 10 years, so it's still a successful career.

charlesemeka85:
uzoho is above 30. I knw a guy who attended the same secondary school with him and was his class mate. The guy is 32 already so uzoho should be close to 30 or in his early 30s

We have a prevalent culture in our country, of denying the truth and or the probability of truth. Even when we know the TRUTH.

Age cheating is an intrinsic part of our daily life, people working in government ministries and department regularly change their birth documentation to extend service time and avoid retirement.

Many men have married and or dated women older than them , without knowing. These popular terms official, football and or Nollywood age reflect the practice.

We do not have automatic birth capture data, so we rely on the integrity of people in a country where integrity is not considered an attribute. We rely on sworn declaration of age, etc .

We know our politicians falsify their ages , Jagaban is 70 but his daughter is 60.

I've been to a quite a few local football academies in Nigeria. The response I get 99% of the time , when I ask for a players age is always, "how old do you want him to be" not he is, 16, 18 or 19.

I understand the reasoning, I don't blame anybody. Value has an intrinsic relationship with age. If you reduce your age from 22 to 16 you may have the opportunity for a very lucrative football career. That can be the difference literally between life and death. That dynamic can change not just your immediate family but extended family life opportunities.

MRI Scan gives you an age that you cannot be in relation to bone fusion. But bone fusion is relative to several factors nutrition, health , environment, race, etc So its highly possible that your bones have not fused due to malnutrition at 20/21. You can scientifically claim to be 15/16 by virtue of the MRI .

HOWEVER, if your bones have already fused then you are simply not under 17 you could be 20 - 24, nobody will know. MRI cannot specifically tell you your exact age. I am not speaking with assumption, l had this discussion with a head of radiography at a university teaching hospital.

But as for Uzo, I beg leave matter we are not blind , Dude is an Agidi.

Ceegar01:
No mind am Uzoho is not as old as people put it
Just look at this picture below

What year is that?

And how old does he look to you ?

He looks well over 17/18 to me even with a far from clear picture.

mostob:
He should go back to Netherland in January

Na Kalu I pity most...he for kukuma stay put in Ligue 1. Now, he rarely make bench sef

The possibility exists that he may have got a move to a French league one side.

But to leave French league one and cannot get a game in Championship. But in reality it's not his fault Ismaila Sarr is way better than him and Hungbo is considered better than him.

humility33:
I believe two good season at least for Jordan in Belgium will help move him to Europe top 4 League in no short time. He just have to keep playing. It will be cool we go all out for him and see if he can be integrated into the super eagles long term project

How many seasons has he played in the Bundisliga ❓

So after his performances he has dropped all the way to the Belgium league.

Nothing to say really.

jihday:
you don’t know what you are talking about, Liverpool have a throwin coach

I really don't think you know what you are talking about.

humility33:
Salisu tried... i have no doubt if Pinnick led nff had given the team the necessary support like proper camping and the privileges to play some friendlies even at least organised nigeria club sides it would have go a long way. So blame Pinnick/Seyi/Dikko/Alhaji Salisu the nff permanent sec

Salisu has shown himself to be corrupt and has no place in the NFF

chrisooblog:
You don't say bruv! You didn't know as of Here and Now 1 year and 6 months ago Moffi had scored 16 goals in ligue 1? The highest number of goals by a Nigerian striker in the french league but you still went ahead to say he wasn't up to par compared to others. Please give it a rest and just own your bias with your chest.

My comments were strictly in the context of him not being good enough for Chelsea.

Chelsea will in general buy World class strikers and or top forward players who are at the peak of their game in club and league.

That is the context and comparison was made with past and present strikers Chelsea has bought compared to Moffi. In this regard he is simply not good enough.

In 2021/22 Moffi was in the top 40 with just 8 goals, that is essentially, 1 year 6 month's ago
In 2020/21 he scored a total of 14 goals he was among the top 11 goal scorers. He is currently on 8 goals this season which is very good.

My opinion remains the same he is not good enough for Chelsea.

But it seems you have presented a complete distortion of facts and information to underpin your false narrative.

But why ❓❓

charlesemeka85:
we Nigerians are too sentimental. Pple like siasia and the current u23 coach are not suppose to be associated with the national team anymore because of their corrupt practices in the past but it’s unfortunate we re pple and a nation that embraces corruption

Its the same mentality that makes us vote and support drug dealers and fraudulent politicians into power.

BascoVanVeli:
So football starts and stops in England ba What about ur own Super Eagles who still use the long throws till today?⁰

I didn't say that.

Having a long throw is not an attribute that will give you competitive advantage in modern day football amongst the various other core required skill sets.

kingphilip:
He will now bring the here and now to mask his emotive prejudice bias.

Coming from a person who rates KC as a lethal and top striker and Nwakali as a top level midfielder.

Look in the mirror and you will see who is emotive and prejudiced as well as bigoted.

Finally, l have a substantive view of the Segundo division as being poor quality league.

That's how you attempted to throw aspersion on my view that the Scottish premier League is on the same level as English league one.

Your hubris mentality has befuddled your sense of rational.

chrisooblog:
My brother don't underestimate the power of 'here and now'

HERE and NOW at that TIME was , 1 year and 6 months ago.

Thats a bit desperate Dan and misleading in your part.

Philosopher1979:
Our football badly needs samson siasia
Siasia is good with youth teams and home based players and drafting home based players into the main national team
Im surprised no one has noticed.
Siasia is the best home based coach we have

Our football doesn't need officials who are steeped in corruption. This is the cancer destroying our football from top to bottom.

BascoVanVeli:
One of the most dangerous weapons in the game. He can create a chance with any throwing in the opponents half.

Football had moved on , long ball game has become obsolete for decades.

For quite some time Stoke used it to over stay in the EPL. A certain Rory Delap was there, at the Stoke had the tallest players in the EPL.

Sorry you need a lot more than a big throw.

codemaniacs:
the bolded below

I really don't know what you are getting at .

My view of Terem Moffi over a year ago at that TIME is not aberration of facts or distortion of his qualities at that TIME.

He is doing exceptionally well.

The season has just started and he is doing better than any other Nigerian striker. Maybe he has the potential to replace V.O.. If we are talking about being in form.

As well as KC, Awoniyi and Dennis

humility33:
This pasiero may not be a good scout like Rohr

Good he start reaching out to this lads carefully draft them in while retiring the likes of omeruo etal

Omeruo should have been retired years ago.

Your club and league performance are a reflection of your quality as well as level.

Jordan Torunarigha was playing for Hertha Berlin in the Bundisliga not sure if he was first choice. He then leaves the Bundisliga rated no three and goes to Belgium league rated number 9.

He doesn't go to La Liga , or EPL or stay in Bundisliga but drops very low. That is not an indicator of progression and or true quality.

He rejected Nigeria very clearly and now career is on the way down , people are calling him quality defender.

Eeee get as e be .

bender79:
Nothing has changed about his life off camera. You can say that about Tinubu .

Nothing has changed what so ever with Tinubu, he has REMAINED UNCHANGED.

He is still the conceited, arrogant, deceptive, compulsive lier, corrupted , tribalistic bigot and convicted drug dealing money laundering criminal he was in 1999 he is just more experienced at it now.

Can a Leopard change its spots ❓

Samueltemi337:
Terem Moffi on the same number of league goals with Neymar and Mbappe this season

That's actually OUTSTANDING if at this stage 8 goals. If he can sustain this level of performance all season.

Then he will be moving to a new club next season.

charlesemeka85:
Omeruo scores

Wow fabulous .

Where is he playing on these days after a decade of standing OUT.

charlesemeka85:
Premier League Hall of Famer reveals how Tella's move to Burnley came about
English Premier League Hall of Famer Vincent Kompany, who now coaches Burnley, has explained how Nathan Tella's move to the Clarets came about.

In search of regular game time, the Super Eagles hopeful joined Burnley on a season-long loan from Southampton on August 11.

Tella has exceeded expectations since his arrival at Turf Moor with five goals in eleven appearances.

The former Arsenal schoolboy helped Burnley extend their unbeaten run to ten games in the Championship on Saturday, scoring the game-winning goal in a 1-0 road win over Coventry City.

Kompany is very pleased with the signing of Tella and admitted that he was monitoring the progress of Tella for quite a while before getting the deal over the line.


Speaking on his pursuit of Tella, the Belgian coach said at his post-match press conference after the win vs Coventry City : "It was an opportunity given to us by some good contacts.


"He was a player I liked and followed for a long time.

"As soon as I heard there might be an opportunity to help him with game time, I made an immediate phone call".

Kompany continued : "When you have a player who plays with a smile on his face it usually tells you everything, he has a spring in his step and thinks he can do anything at the moment and we don't want to stop that. He is a great lad around the dressing room.

"We know we don't technically own the contract long term he has blended in as though he is going to be here for the next five or six years

"I don't take his attitude for granted, he comes in every day and is doing well and not changing habits."

Burnley, who are targeting an immediate return to the Premier League, are fourth in the table with 22 points, two less than Sheffield United who lead the way after thirteen matches in the Championship

Have your noticed how the team squad has completely changed at Burnley. Since the arrival of Kompany.

This is a club I am very familiar with and under Dyche it was simply blatantly and shamelessly white washed.

And this was driven by the Dyche, if you were black you would not get in.

I know a player released at 16 by Burnley who has now at 19 played one first team game for Liverpool. Of course that player was Black.

I was at Liverpool FC yesterday .

And it was interesting to see Wolves U21 get flogged and spanked like small children by Liverpool FC U21 5-0.

I was shocked, this is the team that got narrowly beaten 2-1 by Villa Real B who are above mid table in the Segundo division.

Liverpool FC will play Accrington Stanley on the 18th October. They will get beat in my opinion , this is a league one team at the lower end of the league one table.,

Danielnino00:
Awazeim has spent the better half of his career playing in the Portuguese, Spanish and French leagues... Those aren't obscure leagues... His problem is more of a lack of good agent or maybe lack of ambition.. He could have signed for Nantes permanently but they couldn't meet his valuation...

So,if leagues like Croatia doesn't meet your validation of "small league" perhaps you could give us a clarification of your definition of the term..Won't be surprised if it's limited to the English football space..

Your takes on certain issues are well known to be inconsistent...

You are embellishing his attributes and over stating his qualities.

He played how many seasons in the youth team of Porto B and got 10 consolation games for the first team.

After excelling in French league 1 , he was rewarded with a esteemed move to the retirement league of Turkish football to the exceptional team of Caykur Rizespor.

He did so well him and his fellow CB partner in the SE were rewarded with a great move to La Liga in a relegation bound Leganes. They were promptly sent to the poor quality Segundo division at the end of the season.

From there to a relegation courting Boavista and after that back to the retirement league of Turkish football and now in Croatia.

I'm sorry to burst your bubble that's a journeyman career it is not a reflection of quality. He has been generally anonymous every where he has been.

Let's be honest and sincere, if not for undue favouritism should he even be in the SE. Even with all the SE packaging his career has not progressed.
