TheGoodJoe:

I can see so much honor in your write up. It is simple logic, he can get better deals outside Europe. I am proud of him that Kelechi Nwakali is willing to work his way up. How that is biting you, baffles me.

My approach has remained consistent.

He did not deserve to be in the SE selection, it is blatant Favouritism, Nepotism and corruption. When there are hundreds of more deserving Nigerian players across Europe.

I don't compromise on merit you do.

TheGoodJoe:

People can be funny. Kelechi Nwakali has been collecting 14k pounds weekly for a while. It is a smart move to take a massive pay cut to try to get playing time that suits you and build from there.

You talking NONSENSE.

Football is a very short term career that can be fickle.

That's why players run out their contracts unless another club offers much more or similar.

Which mad person is going to give Nwakali £11k a week when he has done Absolutely nothing in 6/7 years in European football.

TheGoodJoe:

You were mocking Kelechi Nwakali, whether you dilute it or not.

FINITO.

Maybe you lack comprehension.

Because you seem to have a different definition of the English language word "Mockery" that you created by yourself.

Instead of conceding that your claim is SIMPLY UNTRUE you continue with this charade.

TheGoodJoe:

Taking an 11k pounds pay cut shows he is willing to move himself forward.

You have no shame and no integrity.

Do you think people have no brains and are idiotic buffoons.

To take a pay cut means it was OFFERED to you please tell us who gave him £11k and he refused. Then he decides to go to Huesca for £3k and become be anonymous in the Segunda Division

You are now making yourself look far from honourable.

TheGoodJoe:

Imagine some mocking someone in his early 20s earning £3000 a week.

For someone who should know much better you talk utter balderdash.

You exaggerate shamelessly you misrepresent.

Then when you are faced with simple undiluted FACTS.

You then turn the entire discourse of and say somebody is mocking Nwakali.

TheGoodJoe:
Contrary to the jokes about Kelechi Nwakali, it raises my respect for the young man. He took a massive pay cut to rebuild his career. That shows someone ready to build again from scratch.

I pray and the young man keeps working hard. God will bless his hustle.

When you say somebody took a massive pay cut.

It implies that somebody offered him a lot more money and he refused it and took much less. You like to turn white to black and daylight to darkness with your misrepresentation.

Nwakali Arsenal contract expired and NOBODY wanted him after several loan moves. He wasn't good enough for Arsenal, not even after two years in lower Eerste Divisie, NOBODY offered him anything. He even descended to playing Porto B they did not want him.

He eventually went to Huesca for more or less nothing and was given to the second to the last lowest pay in the club.

On arrival Huesca found him wanting and sent him on loan before bringing him back to the team where he had been largely anonymous. He is facing an sanction for going AWOL after the AFCON.

So what are you actually admiring ❓ Mediocrity , because he did not be take a pay cut. He is taking the best he can get.

charlesemeka85:
well you are right though

He is totally wrong

jihday:
it’s because you think he’s actually interested in the job, Yobo have been retired for over 5 years and he doesn’t have any coaching badge. An active player like Gundogan is already working on his . Yobo have no interest in coaching, even this one he’s doing with the NT I’m thinking he was talked into it

Is that what Yobo said to you ?

You are talking entirely from your imagination.

andrewbaba44:
Don’t mind Chris

And yes osimhen needs to be fit ,Na that kind gidigbo football him sabi

If it's Gidigbo football you want to play then Ighalo is the man .

charlesemeka85:
nwakali I doubt if any club will sign him currently for 500k

When a player is on £3k a week wages , in the lower Segunda Division and has been more or less anonymous all his time there.

Why would anybody pay £500k for a player who is not going to get his contract renewed and will be free agent in a few months. Add to that his so called quality is very dubious.

Currently, he may end up not playing on for Huesca who tried to offload him to another club. His club who don't rate him, want to get rid.

PurpleHouse:
I know he was talked into it by the Warri T.D Jakes, aka Pinnick. And if thats the case, make he resign and give way for a more adequate hand to come in. He has nothing to offer. He better go into coaching or sport analyst. For his future to avoid become a broke ass.

I can assure you YOBO can never be broke, his asset's and investments have GIVEN him a Very healthy life time income.

charlesemeka85:
leave mk em Dey talk wetin em no knw

The only reason top clubs aren’t coming for ndidi yet is because of his release clause which is 60million pounds or lil above that and with the look of things leicester won’t bulge during negotiation with any time unless his existing contract is about to run out

Was disappointed when he renewed his current contract which is 4 abi 5 years contract

Your release clause is academic.

If other clubs value and think you are top class quality they will pay if they don't they simply WILL NOT. Awaziem had some ridiculous release clause at Porto did that create interest for him, he is in Turkey.

I watched Bissouma in the AFCON dude was outstanding. He has been outstanding on the EPL every big club wants him. Look at the interest Lamptey is generating as a RB.

When you are outstanding everybody's wants you.

As it is Ndidi needs to up his game, he is a very good DM but brings nothing else.

There is a way every newspaper and sports pundit talks about a player and you know it's not just talk but real interest. Bissouma could go for £70 million that's the level of demand for him.

It was similar with Osimhen after his break out season in Lille.

13large:
Bro, 1 v 1 on current form, our bench is stronger than Ghana let alone our first 11. But, remember our team 1 v 1 was also much stronger than Tunisia and we still lost. The only reason I am advocating for Eguavoen to continue after that defeat vs a much weaker Tunisia is simply because of “inadequate time” aside of that, he should had been terminated. Do you know that, currently there’s a Nigerian listed among the top 5 scorers at Epl, Bundesliga and one listed as one of the best strikers in Seria A Football transcends individual names and one has to be humble.

Listed as and being the best striker are two completely different thing's.

Awoniyi has scored ,9 goals , he is not in the top 6, same follows for Dennis , surprisingly Salah despite spending time at AFCON has 16 EPL goals.

Osimhen scored 10 goals in Seria A last season 2020/1 but then he only played 24 games he was not in the top 20 goal scorers. He has played 14 games and 6 goals this season.

Osimhen is s very good striker but he is not among the best or top 10 in Seria A, he is not World class.

I think he will get to at least 15 before the end of the season.

But then I also think if Ighalo and Dennis were in Seria A they would be getting similar numbers of goals even possibly more.

charlesemeka85:
the problem with our players is once they secure deals abroad they feel so comfortable that they have arrived and escaped poverty as well so the hunger and eagerness to improve and become better isnt their number one priority anymore

the way chukwueze started in laliga i thought by now he will be playing for of ATM,madrid or barca

for now the only 2 that may end up in big clubs still remains osimhen and ndidi, if dennis can sustain his form this season he may also attract a move to a bigger club than watford only if they get relegated

When your club is not doing well you also has a player will mostly have your value go down too.

Ndidi is very good DM but that's all , he brings nothing else ,that's why no big club had come for him.

Look at the interest that Bissouma is getting that should tell you something and he is a DM.

chrisooblog:
Are you sure about the bold? Diallo no go bench Magwaya?

You right about England not really producing world class Nigeria born talent. Saka for now is still potential. Dele Alli that was looking the real deal but has fallen away.

But how many world class talents has Nigeria produced.

If Dele Alli is fallen away agreed but who do we have that is better than him ❓This fallen away talent according to you.

You are talking like the SE has world class players,in the HERE and NOW we simply do not have one.

ChrisKels:
Most of the players Senegal get from France are all so good that they would have great international careers with English national team. Fact!

Diallo would start for England, Bouna would always make the team, Balo Toure would make the team/start, Koulibaly sure starter, Mendy sure starter, Pape Gueye would always make the team/start.

What we get from England is way too inferior to what Senegal get from France

And how many of players can enter Senegal team❓

Not one of our current players can enter England team, so what exactly is your point.

PurpleHouse:
This fellow spoke the gidple truth.

Agreed without question.

It baffles me how professional players cannot do simple accurate cross and these are wingers or wing backs.

Chukwueze, Zaidu, Simon, Ejuke are all poor at crossing the ball, the very basic requirement for the position they play.

Football is not just dribbling, skills and showboating.

I watched how many accurate crosses were thrown into the box by Senegal , if not for a very good Egyptian goalkeeper and last ditch defending. Senegal should really have won the game 3-0

13large:
Honestly, I am evaluating the quality of the Nigeria and Ghanaian squad and we’re obviously superior (1 v 1) whoever we hire must be terminated on the spot if we don’t qualify ahead of this present Ghanaian team. During the golden generation of Essien era, their squad was much superior to ours and they rightfully defeated us at important games. Now, it’s our turn to revenge. On paper, our team is much stronger but in football, anyone can win

You are being ASSUMPTIVE not SUBSTANSIVE.

Since you have carried out an evaluation l presume in depth , why not do a man to man assesment.

Then it will be clear

Referee is getting number of decisions wrong

Stormtrooper11:
Koulibably does not deserve that yellow.

Both players jumped all eyes on the ball that's never s yellow.

Egyptian player's clips Sarrs heals as he breaks with pace towards goal. Very cynical and deliberate foul but the referee bottles it.

Because it would be sending off for second yellow card.

Joezinho:
How many goals is he suppose to have scored from tje midfield? Is he a top 9? Oga rest abeg..

How many games have he started all season?

You said he is an excellent finisher.

Now you say he is not a top 9.

I asked you what comparison unit of measurement you have used to come to the deduction that KC is an excellent finisher.❓❓But you have said nothing.

Salah is the top goal scorer in the EPL is he a top 9 ,or is Antonio or Jota, etc❓

Gbosah Senegal player brought down its a PENALTY

Let me watch Senegal beat Egypt tonight

Joezinho:
Lol. I can't call you a hater for airing your opinion. We are all entitled to our opinions and i respect the fact that you don't try to shove it down our throats like some try to do here often.

Regardless, Nacho is a superbly talented player bro.

Nacho's strengths are his finishing ability. One of the best in the SE. He is also very intelligent and has very good vision. These are all great attributes for a playmaker, but the reason he cannot be a playmaker are his weaknesses.

I am at loos to your sense of reasoning .

Somebody has scored two goals in the EPL this season and you say he is an excellent finisher.

What is your comparison unit of measurement to come to that conclusion❓

TheGoodJoe:
komekn right now.

[img]https://c./8HLy-WqdywIAAAAM/stressed-frustrated.gif[/img]

How do you commend and celebrate somebody in isolation for scoring one goal in the FA cup against a Championship side that flogged them 4-1 and totally dominated them throughout the game.

You are so overcome with emotive preference and bias you cannot make a balanced deduction.

Joezinho:
You should ask yourself where nacho"s best position is. Is he a top 9? Hell No!! So how do you expect him to be the top goal scorer in his club?

Factos is Kele becomes a luxury player in the SE when played in any position other than Supporting Striker.. And that just isn't a formation we use.

He can't play lone striker.. He can't play wings....

The only formation SE can play which would suit him would be a 352 where we have a solid midfield trio behind him.

442 is pure shiit...

Your position is not directly linked to the attributes you have mentioned. Trent has excellent delivery on set pieces and Football intelligence and that's why from RB he has the highes assists in the EPL. No matter what position you play your QUALITY WILL SHOW.

You said his finishing, football intelligence and vision are top notch. Then why has he only scored 3 goals this season in the EPL.

He had a very good last season 2020/21 infact the best of his career. But prior to that season he had had three consecutive abysmal seasons.

I commended him for doing exceptionally well ,that the true test of his Quality will be if he can replicate it this season. We are over half way through the season and it's not looking likely.

So on what basis are your giving him all these attributes, ❓❓because there must be outcome delivery commensurate with your ability. But that is not the case HERE.

Unless you want to be preferentially emotive about KC and exaggerate his quality, you should know what you are saying is simply not true.

Now some of you will now call me hater and prejudiced, for being honest and balanced.

Game has ended with Leicester being comprehensively FLOGGED by Nottingham Forest.

In case it looks like a fluke ,or a flash in the pan. I should remind you for those who do not know Nottingham forest also beat Arsenal in the cap.

I watched Spence pocket Martinelli in the game against Arsenal.

It's probably more devastating for Leicester because they won the FA Cup last season and are the current holders. To be kicked out by a Championship side is not ideal.

But it reflects the struggles of Leicester this season, they are not having the same level of success.

Joezinho:
Truth is , Iheanacho would be a world class player if he had good touch. His finishing, vision, and intelligence are top notch.....

Great player.

Ha ha ha great joke.

Considering the bold then if he had all those attributes, how many goals would you expect him to score in the EPL every season❓

He should therefore be among the top goal scorers in his club , with the attributes you say he has.

I am currently watching Championship side Nottingham forest flogging the EPL side of Leicester city it's the 75 minute.

And the lowly supposedly Nottingham forest are out skilling ,out playing, out pressing and out muscling Leicester city.

The score is 4-1 KC has scored for Leicester.

Two player's for Nottingham forest have been Astounding Johnson and Spence.

Ndidi and Maddison already on yellow cards.

I see Spence in the EPL shortly being wanted by the big boy's alongside Johnson.

You guys should be watching this game it will educate so many of you about the Championship and what some of you call, farmers league.

jihday:
was reported by an Italian journalist so I think it might be true

Hmm Italian journalist more reason to disbelieve.

AndSunGorilla:
My major fear is if Nwakali is unavailable, we won't be able to withstand the Ghanaians without him.

You have to be joking.

Because the opposite is the case, with him in the team we will definitely Loose

Karlovich:
This means the man could be in his late 20s considering the time-line.

This is not news to any Nigerian.

He is just one of the very few that got caught.

Remember captain of 2009 U17 Chukwudi exposed by Adokie.
