Be there asking of apology when pinnick and our coaches have visited him at his club

Dennis did nothing ,stop looking for apology

Watford stopped Dennis from playing at afcon and so do Napoli for osimhen ,but you want Dennis to apologize
Victor O and Dennis B , both did exactly the same thing but one is villified and the other is ldolised.

Bigoted double standard and blatant Favouritism.

Sarr was watfords best forward last season.
Now Dennis has outshined him in addition to injury
It’s better Dennis goes to like Tottenham next season for example
Would be a solid combination with Son & Kane
Footballers should act like prostitutes oh
No feelings attached
Move to a better club in your prime
Maybe Iheanacho is comfortable with mediocrity sha.
Soon someone like Saka will have a better CV than him
I see Newcastle winning a trophy within 3 years grin
You need to appreciate KC situation he is not a top striker by any stretch of the imagination. But he getting top striker money and he has at least two years on his contract left.

He is getting over £115k a week , who is going to pay those kind of wages for him. Knowing you will not get a commensurate return on your investment.

What do you think?
In a league that is rated 20 in Europe that is largely regarded as a retirement league that pays well with low tax.

Unfortunately,until he can do it in a better league the questions will always remain if he is truly a quality player.

Dennis better not walk right back into the team after the craps he pulled during the AFCON. He first needs to apologize or else we don’t need him. We don’t lack talents in his position.


O pari
Stop being sentimental and taking offence where there is none.

In the HERE and NOW beyond all question Dennis is the most in form forward player in the SE ,after 22 games he has scored 9 goals. Some of those goals were absolutely exceptional. He is numero 1 in the team.

Unfortunately, unlike most forward thinking and top footballing nation's, club and league form is the basis for selection. Not longevity or favouritism which seems to be the approach in the NFF.

He plays on the wing for Crystal palace but you will notice exceptional players, almost combine two positions into one.

He will play like a LM left sided Midfielder then he may change from traditional winger to inverted winger. But in addition he has a very good work rate putting in crucial tackles and interceptions. All crowned with End product.

I wonder where your voice was when Iheanacho did this.
What do you anchor ⚓ your opinion on, facts , substance or your own self - birthed imaginations.

Somebody said that KC is among the best finishers in the world. I said that his statistics are very far off "among the best in the world" he has scored 2 goals from 15 games in the EPL. That is not world class.

You then make reference to last 2020/21 season of 12 goals from 25 games his best goal tally since he started in the EPL. That tally is not world class, although you being overcome with sentiment and emotive favouritism, may think so.

Nonetheless, we are talking about this season not last.

We have completed about 70% of the season and for a £25million striker earning over £115k a week ,would you say that's good enough ❓

With reference to your question huh "I wonder where your voice was, when iheanacho did this"

Below screenshot of my comments, to reiterate, I said at the time, the true test of KC progression would be CONSISTENCY. And to see if he can replicate his performances in the new 2021/22 or revert back to his normal mediocrity in the EPL.

I mentioned 3 players,you picked out Nwakali.
Ok, Let's leave Nwakali aside, he needs to sort out his club issue, I agree.
Oya tell us what Olise will offer the SE that Iwobi,Aribo and Amoo wouldn't. If we are to look at it vividly, he will likely be the third choice behind Iwobi and Aribo and there is no way he gets to play on the wing.
I'm not hating on the boy, my point is simple...if we're persuading a FB to play for us, he should be someone that is better than what we have.
Simple
You lack knowledge, if you can go and watch Liverpool Vs Crystal palace and after that come back to comment.

I will listen to former Super Eagles players/coaches that have coached for years over you. You are not in that position to decide if Nwakali is good enough over professional coaches that have far more understanding of the game.
Unfortunately the opinion of the SE Coaches will not get him a contract in Barcelona no matter what they say or think or even try to do.

He remains anonymous across Europes football leagues, after two seasons in the Segunda Division, his contract will not be renewed.

However, comparative to the SE Coaches my opinion has way more weighting with regards to clubs in Europe.

However, l concede if he wants to return to the NPFL my opinion has zero weighting compared to the SE Coaches of the NFF.

They do no play at the same formation. Amoo is a RW or SS at best while nwakali is a CM, or CAM. In Amoo position, we have so many options while at nwakali position, our option is few that’s why our team needs Nwakali more than Amoo for now
With all objectivity and without bias Nwakali is too low quality to play in the SE.

There are at least 25 players of Nigerian origin available and better than him in the English league.

If you add Europe you will talking about 100.

There is a reason why he is anonymous in the Segundo division, very simple poor quality.

Subzero, has Calvin Bassey committed to Nigeria yet? He’s one player we really need - especially in the LB position but he can even start as a CB.

To me, Bassey and Eze are the two players we desperately need for the Super Eagles. Tomori is already gone.


O pari
I would add Olise if possible, as well as Ovie ( barring injury)

Iheanacho's shooting is still among the best in the world.
Despite his poor play sometimes, he is necessary for a well rounded team the same way a player like Onuachu is necessary.
I don't know if you consider constructive objective criticism to mean Hate and denigration and a form of quasi tribalism.

If you say KC is among the best in the world at finishing ( shooting) there has to be commensurate return, outcome delivery all reflected in goals.

How can you call someone among the best in the world and he has scored 2 goals this season out of 15 games on the EPL.

How do you then say among the best in the world at finishing ❓How did you arrive at that conclusion.

We need him, by any means possible.

But... We should NEVER beg them. Never. They need us more. We just haven't made them realize it.
We should persuade them with everything (him and Eze). But we must not look too desperate.

Speak to their emotions, not their talent.
Tell why they need us, and why we need them, eventhough we also don't need them (psychology, and you don't have to say it plainly, just make them see it that you need them and can also do without them). Nothing more.

Other teams will waste them on the long run.

We won't.

You sure say na that Bants de make you vex or the heat grin

I responded that way to Charles because of his penchant for "new shiny" players. Bassey is a good prospect, a cover for when the current set may retire just like we all want. But it's lame to be in a haste to kick out the older ones because of young ones.

Defence is a part of football that needs reliability like a Land cruiser more than sleek
When s child has WASHED his hands he may eat with Kings.

Jude Bellingham is 18 has 10 England caps and had over 120 professional games in the championship and Bundestag is wanted by the crème De la crème of the
best team's in Europe.

So he according to your rational should still ber playing U18 ,and wait for Henderson and Phillips to retire.

Meanwhile how old is Declan Rice.

9th premier league goal of the season
Fabulous, Dude is outstanding in a struggling team he is essentially there best forward player. And for me I've been saying for time the most in form and therefore best striker in the SE in the HERE and NOW.

The only reason I must like him is because he was born and bred in Manchester England although he has Nigerian heritage.

I just explained to Andrew that that was Balogun's first match back from injury, did you expect him to jump into the team immediately, he started the next match by the way
I want to presume you have come across the phrase "Changing the goal posts"

You made an unequivocal statement implying that Balogun has never been on the bench when Calvin has been playing CB;


"Bassey has never played CB while a fit Balogun was on the bench"


Don't you have Integrity, the diction used is NEVER.

I could add that on several occasions Balogun did not even make the bench. Since Van Bronkhurst became Manager Calvin has not missed one league game.

Prove me wrong then
I have already posted a few screen shots to substantiate the position.

Giovanni Van Bronkhurst became Manager of Rangers on the 18th of November 2021. It's quite remarkable because under Gerrard Calvin was about 3/4 in line for CB.

Immediately Van Bronkhurst made Calvin first choice CB, Calvin had not been dropped once he has played every league game .

Meanwhile Balogun even when fit is not first choice CB . although Calvin is more versatile as he can play as a LB as well.

There are many attributes that cannot be computer degenerated.

Two of which is movement and technique. Agree with you, brother.
There are players who over riding influence in a game but it can not be quantified into a unit of measurement.

For instance when Lukaku is playing the CB are not keen to come Forward and are not able to join the midfield in going forward.

When Lukaku gets the ball he can take out 4 players giving space for other players to thrive. You have similar with Adama T.

A fit balogun was on the bench during Celtic vs Rangers And Aberdeen vs Rangers

That doesn’t mean bassey is benching him sha ,balogun is 34 and injury prone so small rotations no bad
From the day Van Bronkhurst became Manager he always plays Calvin Bassey first even when Balogun is fit.

The only time Calvin was benched was for inconsequential cup games.

Currently, according to SofaScore:
Chidera Ejuke - 77% technique
Ademola Lookman - 74%
Iheanacho - 65%
Kelechi Nwakali - 62%
Iwobi and Osimhen - 61%
Well I don't agree with their deductions .

And what unit of measurement did they use to come to those conclusion.

Then again its impossible to compare different league with the same conclusion.

The technical ability required in the EPL is different from the Bundesliga and La Liga. So at the best it gives a perfunctory insight that's subjective not objective.

He’s another Umar Sadiq if you ask me
It would be absurd if they recall Ighalo.
He retired in 2019
Don’t know why he’s still in the discussion mix
Aboubakar AFCON current golden boot winner plays in the same league but has not scored as many goals as Ighalo.

Ighalo was the golden boot winner in the last AFCON .

Players go to the Saudi league because they are offered insane amounts of money to play there, because they have been outstanding in the top leagues and clubs of Europe.

A few months ago Manchester United gave Ighalo a short term contract. Why because they needed PR.

As it stands no current Nigeria striker is COMPREHENSIVELY better than him and the only two who can compete with him not necessarily beat him are Dennis and Victor O.
