Nonsense!
Omeruo got a goal and assists at the AFCON..and was our highest rated defender..second highest rated player after Ighalo..

You and forgiveness haven't dropped the CAF rating yet....just yammering out of obvious sentiments

I posted the reference AT THE TIME, and if you want you can go look.

But otherwise believe what you like, not bothered.

Finally, Omeruo was far from outstanding responsible for two goals against us by Cameroon.

tbaba1234:
4 keepers in camp. Maduka, Yakubu, Alampasu and Tobias Lawal.

Akpoguma cleared to play.

Not too long ago, as usual people working on perceptive assumption.

Believed this process takes months.

I explained the issue is not FIFA but NFF.

Nonetheless, for a player who had publicly several times in the past made blatantly clear he wants to play for Germany.

We seemed to have " BEGGED HIM" As some describe it here, then at Supersonic speed got his clearance to play for Nigeria. I wonder why the preferential treatment.

To me without prejudice " Double Standard "

Big Wahala deh.

Manchester United have just signed Edinson Cavani , this essential means the end for Ighalo.

I like Ighalo in my opinion our best Striker currently right now on SE form. However, th arrival of Edinson makes it VERY DIFFICULT for Ighalo.

Without prejudice Cavani is better.

Danielnino00:
The only person fooling around here is you..
Sofascore and whoscored rated Omeruo as our best defender at the AFCON..in fact he was rated second only to Ighalo.

You are saying CAF rated Aina higher...where is the evidence?

CAF rated Aina as the best Nigerian defender after the tournament.

Omeruo was at the very best average at AFCON.

Fulham are showing some ambitious moves apparently Ruben Loftus is on his way as well as Tosin Adarabioyo.

I still think they need another quality striker DESPERATELY in order to put in a transfer.

They are now having a lot of our boys in the squad potential quality SE players. Tega, Ademola, Adarabioyo as well as young potential Timmy Abrahams.

Subzero047:
Komekn, an impoverished segunda side spent 10 million rising to 15 million on a player

What do you have to say to that?

First of all what l have read from the Spanish press is €5 million Euros in the first instance not the €10 million you claim.

The add ons are speculative dependant on perfomances, that is a sign of doubt not confidence. Screen shot from Spanish press below.

My view is very much unchanged. The Segunda is a very poor league with low quality players.

I asked someone to compare the budget of Fulham in the Championship to the entire Segunda División budget. But nobody took up the challenge.

How many players from the Segunda División with all its claimed quality by some delusional contributors. Have transferred for anything above €10 million Euros.

How many have gone to the top teams in any of Europes top three leagues. Make a comparison with the Championship.

Or you could look it the other way how many quality players have left top leagues to play in the Segunda División.

The league remains poor quality.

It's dissapointing that after all the noise about Sadiq Umar, that he was wanted by Manchester United, Lille, etc. This is where he has ended up Almeira in the Segunda División.

Danielnino00:
The game against Barca was just one.... Awaziem had some good games in laliga too. Balogun also had some poor games in the EPL too..
The Algerians are pacy and skillful.. Games like this require you to match them pace for pace... Maybe Awaziem isn't fast,but compared to Balogun,he is faster..

Balogun is faster.

forgiveness:
CAF dropped the stats immediately after the tournament and it was displayed here.

I can confirm, what makes it even more pronounced he was not given as much game time as some other defenders in the SE.

IDENNAA:
No , he wasn't! He was not better than Omeruo , Eking nor Awaziem. You out of nowhere say things that makes no sense.

Actually Aina was factually and statistically.

daveP:
Nice one on bringing the aspect of the more marketable team to the fore. It can be a decider for some. But we both know that is not what decides choices for National team. Glory, fame, being a star, getting numbers and caps, that supersedes your point. We both know that. Tomori and Abraham have the market but if they don't kick ball again, the regrets will flourish. That's the truth.

Not that the SE is easy to waltz in to as opined by some, but its easier to get all what a player wants with the SE than with a team that is so loaded and star studded like England right now.


As for if Naija borns will wana grab opportunity, let's be more realistic. Performance isnt really top guage for the English team. No one has a starters shirt fully assured except in the attack option right now. So once again, its about getting consistent caps and winning laurels. Well i know you know that already. So I'll leave that.


KC change Allegiance? When he's worshipped like a god in Naija? See the welcome given Iwobi which till date, he affirms amazes and shook him to the core. The love the SE gives their players is way way bigger than the love the English will ever give their top stars. That's a big fact out there. That is also a difference.




In conclusion, Its not just about the money, its also about the Glory.

You really believe that. ❓

A Nigerian player will pursue glory ( relatively speaking) over multi million pound marketing endorsements.

As soon as Rashford got capped he got an annual £2 million endorsements from Nike to name just one. That's approx £40k a week for essentially doing nothing.

And our 9ja players will reject that over what you call glory.

I have my doubts.

Karlovich:
Even if he acquired British passport he was ineligible to play for England as a home grown player, because he moved there as a teenaguer. UK has new rules regarding that.

He can't play for the youth teams but hr can definitely play for England and if course his citizenship would have been fast tracked.

I find it incomprehensible as well as almost treacherous. Yet quite a few were giving me dogs abuse about my deductions.

That we spent $600 million on 12 turboprop aircraft of which it's taking 3/4 years to get the first one delivered.

We could have bought with $50 million 40 Chinese Wing Loong II UAV's in the HERE and NOW.

Bought refurbished used and upgraded SU25 with a few more heavy lift MI 8 helicopters.

Then used the rest to buy at least 2000 multiliple armoured vehicle platforms, MRAP'S, IFV'S, MBT's, APC's, LAV'S, etc. Some refurnished used and some new.

It's stark staringly obvious we HAVE LOST CONTROL of the NE.

If we had done that imagine the lives of our combatants that would have been saved.

Our house is on fire we need action now not tomorrow.

persius555:
I doubt this. The use of Radio Wave energy for operation by UAVs remains a huge disadvantage. Portable SDRs (Software Defined Radios) powered military equipment are in advanced research stage. They will help lay waste to UAVs in future warfare.

The Turkish UAV'S are already ahead of the game using electronic counter measures to jam Russian radar and give themselves near stealth capability.

Why couldn't the Russians shoot down the Turkish UAV's in Syria in any impactful numbers.

Thi weekend games confirmed the EPL beyond all doubt as the most competitive league in the World.

Imagine Liverpool getting flogged by Villa and Manchester United getting violated by Tottenham and Leicester getting ripped by West Ham.

Fulham got beat by Wolves, but the perfomance was much more promising.

Ademola looked like a lion released from the cage, on the few minutes he played he was on Fire.

Fulham need another quality striker and forward player.

The team plays very good quality on the deck football but they have no killer edge, pretty football will not save you they need goals.

BascoVanVeli:
I didn't see him as lacking confidence just maybe that the championship is not as physical as u say. I swear somebody messed and the kid went down I mean, there were some tackles that I felt he should have broken free from and kept going.

The Championship is more physical than the EPL and the referring in the EPL is much better.

And intelligent players now play for the fowl it is now sadly a part of the game. He would probably not get those fouls in the Championship so he will not play for them.

daveP:
Best of luck to him. They definitely will do great stuff. Nigeria will too. That's the aspect he misses it all. It is way beyond tryna be a supporter of our games. Whatever way, its his decision. I like how he went about it. That earns him respect. But as usual, its way too obvious some intel aint passed across enough or gotten.


They know little about the SE. The Connection should be more than mere heritage. Sadly, that's where it presses full stop for most of them.


Loved his goal today.

There are others considerations.

The minute you as a young player with great potential and promise get an England call the marketing and sports endorsements start to come in.

When Rashford got his England call up his marketing value sky rocketed first endorsements with NIKE was about £2million pounds it's now about £10million annually.

These are MAJOR CONSIDERATIONS, now compare the marketing endorsements from the African continent and Nigeria. Think about that.

I have often said this that if Nigerian born and bred players had an opportunity to play for England would they say NO. I cannot oh, l love Nigeria my country, l can not lie, na for inside naija l go dye, l don't need those Millions of £££ or your passport.

KC is classed as an English homegrown player from Manchester city ( FIFA rules) l wonder if he had the opportunity to change allegiance and play for England.

Do you think he will say NO, honestly speaking❓ ❓

BascoVanVeli:
Trust me he knows all this and he is taking strides to improve as a scorer. When he said he wanted to give Ancelotti selection migraines this season I believed him die.


Now mark this down, Iwobi will score 10 goals or more in all competitions this season

Everything you say l agree with.

However, no matter what he does he will not become better than Richarlison.

andrewbaba44:
Not bad he is playing from the flanks or what do you think ?

He is doing good candidate playing the best football of his career his work rate is now FAR BETTER.

However, look at Richarlison the Brazilian, he far far better. When he plays you know a goal is soon coming and he has pace and killer instinct.

To be honest he is just simply BETTER than Iwobi the truth must be said.

barackodam:
Breaking news: Osimhen as been replaced by Paul Onuachu, he won't participate in the super Eagles game against Algeria and Tunisia.

Hopefully our wingers can learn to cross the ball, what's the point of having a man mountain of a player and you do not put crosses in the box.

andrewbaba44:
You guys should watch iwobi ooo as he has already replaced injured richarlison

This is problematic for Iwobi

IMO there is no space for him in Everton midfield they are simply much better and effective players their.

Iwobi is playing the best football of his career, this is the fittest he has EVER BEEN. It's an absolute plus ➕ for the SE.

However, the achilles heal of Iwobi, he just does not score enough goals ot shoot with authority. As a consequence as soon as Richarlison is fit, he will be back on the bench.

Nonetheless, the other contendors are leaving it seems Walcott and that gives him more time

sheyishemba:
Baba no dey talk shit eze has a very good performance after zaha he was the best for his side he really frustrated harvetz and azpicuileta

It was obvious Eze had a lot more defensive duties as opposed to an attacking role.

He got more fouls than any other player in that match.

andrewbaba44:
Tammy stupid boi, you wanna take pk while jorginho is in the field

Good leadership from azpilicueta

Ebere eze is not that bad as crystal palace is having a bad day also

But say na this ebere eze una talk say better pass iwobi?

We really need to catch some monikers here and tie them with rope and wipe them about 50 strokes of koboko

Ebere Eze is playing without confidence and he is still gassed about playing in the EPL. In addition he does not have the same freedom when he was at QPR.

Reminds me of when Raheem first started for Liverpool he was so intimidated by the presence of Suarez and Sturridge. Never going for goal always looking to pass the ball, scared of making a mistake.

In that match Eze got fouled more than any other player.

Give him a few weeks of confidence building and he will come good. He just needs one game where he is allowed to express himself freely with confidence and score.

Danielnino00:
The summary of it all is that you don't know jackshit about Liverpool like you claimed to,and you are a bloody lair!

A lot of people have already called you out for that,but of course,you have no shame so you can't admit your mistake..

No be today e start..
Another episode will repeat itself and as usual,u will deny it...

You have your pre- conceived negative notions.

Irrespective of the very simplistic explanations, you are talking about Grujic I am talking about Marko. You still remain in your unwavering negative fixation with a notion that comes from your own deep seated prejudice.

And you cannot get beyond that you and quite a few other.

You ABSOLUTELY can think what you like , I am not in the least perturbed.

What my relationship with Liverpool fc is you will NEVER KNOW or the other clubs in England for that matter.

Why it's ludicrous to recognition on a faceless forum.

Was watching a very insightful video of Eze, his close click particularly at Crystal Palace.

I am just waiting expectantly for when he will play for Nigeria. For me one of the most naturally skilful and technically gifted Nigerian footballer at the moment.

Danielnino00:
You are still shamelessly lying..
I mentioned Marko Grujic,talked about how well he was doing in Germany..
You responded "Marko will never play for the club,no matter what he does"

Now you are trying to place it on poor, unlucky Lazar Markovic that left the club in January 2019

You have your agenda and your fixation.

Liverpool have a plethora of players on loan abroad , l don't know all of them or am l particularly interested in them.

Yes you mentioned Hertha, Yes you mentioned Grujic.

But l mentioned Marko, the one that I had seen, several times and knew very well. And knew him in the context of attitude to be a " Wasteman " very talented and gifted but poor attitude and discipline. My entire commentary was on Marko, that's who l thought and believed you were taking about. You could call it an error, crossed wires, mistake, etc but LIES absolutely not. I had not even realised he had left, l expected him to run out his contract which would end in 2019.

I knew little or nothing about Grujic. There were two Marko's in Liverpool, l dont even know what what the staff or team mates call Grujic.

I will leave you with your opinion or view which was already PRE - CONCEIVED from the start.

Matter don end , l no get your time.

ugo4u:
Zullum got intellegence reports that he'll be attacked yet he went ahead and it cost the lives of over 30 people.
When you talk some ANALysts will be yapping and theorising how Zullum took and oath to defend his people and how his job is not for the faint hearted. I guess he isn't under any obligation to make decisions to protect the security agents and aides that dies whenever he refuses to heed to Intels report.
Those that died during the journey can't be brought back, and the mission wasn't even successful. Had he listened to the security reports people won't have died needlessly. Yes, a governor should be up and doing especially in a situation that bothers on humanitarian crises, but clearance from security agents is paramount, esp when it is well known that the enemy effectively make use of IEDs/Mine to lay ambush on convoys and these efforts doubled when they know a VIP/High value target is their potential prey.
My own is that Zullum should please listen to security advisories, I know military personnel won't be happy with him whenever he goes against their advise, these guys are professionals for heaven's sake. Some of us are beginning to think that the Gov. is doing this to court media attention.
Tomorrow he will go to Abuja and praise Buhari then return to blame the military and be calling the Chadians to come and fight for us.

"A coward dies many times before his death"

Consider what you have presented in the bold.

From the minute you leave the somewhat safe sanctuary of Maiduguri city Area.

Anchoring my deduction on the information insights given by SamuelAnyawu. We can deduce that you are going to be attacked, you just do not know when.

That's not INTELLIGENCE that's stating the simplistic obvious. If you are in the NE you ate going to be attacked.

Have we decended so low that Boko can tell us, we are going to attack and then we have to run.

Who is the hunter and who is the hunted here please. It's like armed robbers writing you a letter they are coming on a visit and you are unable to prepare a murderous welcome party for them. So you abandon your house and run away.

Boko give and put out threats every day, what is shocking, we don't seem to be able to do anything about it. We know we will attacked, so we should be ready, willing and capable to carry out OFFENSIVE action to mitigate against Boko not just REPEL or DEFEND.

Gentleman and patriots the matter has gone completely out of control. Because we are DEFINITELY NO LONGER IN CONTROL.

Imagine the effrontery Boko will tell a sitting elected Governor you are not allowed to come to Baga and we have an Army.

andrewbaba44:
Lol

Komekn no Dey ever admit mistakes

Dude just only know few things about English players

He doesn’t really know much about European football nor even follow the teams self

Or course It is a an obvious mistake ❓ Undoubtedly. It is not contentious.

Obvious crossed wires, two players with very similar names. I am talking about Lazar ( Marko) the other Dude is talking about the other Marko (Grujic) .

I was talking about a player l had seen several times over a few years. l knew he would NEVER play for Liverpool. His team mates and staff call him Marko. I knew this for several years.

Marko is the player I could talk about with absolute certainty.

I don't see it as an issue of INTEGRITY or LIES.

What is all the HULLABALOO, HELLFIRE and BRIMSTONE about. The Vitriolic rhetoric and Vile hostility about.

I have said this a thousand times, l am involved with English football at multiple levels, know a myriad of people in football at all levels albeit predominantly in English football.

I am not ignorant of European football just know way more about English football. I dont have the same network in European football.

But this time I would have been to mainland Europe at least 7/8 times by now for football, however Covid 19 has made that impossible this year for me.

JayromWrites:
Wey u talking about Lazar when u made the comment?

Or you think u can dribble your way outta this?

Was the argument for Lazar markovic or Marco Grujic?

Start acting your age man!!!

No.no

I absolutely was talking about Markovich.

He is a player I knew very well and also was privy to what the club felt about him. I had seen him training way too many times and in U23 games.

In 2019 there was only one Marko in Liverpool and thats what every one called him.

So stop using your limited knowledge to make an assumptive deduction based on your perception not the facts.

I have looked at the original post in 2019 and although it actually says Grujic.

I just thought it was another name for Marko because that's what everyone called him. I would not comment about a player on loan in the Bundesliga that I haven't seen play and train before, or had any reports about with such ABSOLUTE CERTAINTY.

I am not that emotive and prejudiced.

So you can believe what you like it seems so many have been waiting to see if the cam ascribe a LIE TO ME.

But it simply FAILS.

Danielnino00:
What kind of shameless person are u na?

Lazar Markovic?
What is Lazar Markovic doing in Liverpool in 2019..

Actually Marko left Liverpool in September 2019, and my reference was to him, albeit belatedly.

This is a player l.knew very very well and my post was very specific in regards to Marko.

In your desperate Dan bid to prove me wrong you have befuddled the matter. I did not know you had this obsessive fixation with my contributions.

I absolutely knew that Marko was on his way out and surplus to requirements as far back as 2018.

Grujic the other Marko was not even in the club at the time of my comments. He was on loan at Hertha

There was no confusion on my part, l know what Marko is called in the club and what he was doing.

One thing l haven't said is the names players are called among team mates and staff. Will have variations that are different from the names you may know them as officially.

In that context in late 2019, when I made the post it was about a player in Liverpool training with the U23 's and not one who had been on loan at Hertha all season.

Finally, Liverpool isn't the only club I know about or l have insight into.

JayromWrites:
You remind me of my Literature teacher in sec school


Nigga knows nothing upstairs, so he uses English to confuse us

Simple statement, You talk say person no go ever play ball for Liverpool, today e start against Arsenal, wetin Happen? Howfar ur intel, shey u no pay complete subscription for information? Abi dem don sack ur informant from Merseyside?

Always avoid the urge to Shalaye

Did Lazar Markovic start for Liverpool yesterday, please tell me.

Then tell me what you know.

safarigirl:

You specifically said a player would NEVER EVER play for a team, no matter what he does.

That was not just an assurance, you stated it as a fact. That is definite. There was no 'but" "except' 'however' 'maybe' 'might'. You were definite, unequivocally and without room for argument or change.

It is shameful, that you have now returned, as is usual with you, to argue over semantics.

Will you bend if you admit to your own folly? Do you think yourself beyond poor judgment? Are you God, Komekn? Unquestionable? Infallible? Are you?

It says a lot of your person, if you would rather switch up on your own words, or dance around it, than admit that you were wrong. It is a great flaw, as a person. I hope you are aware of this and change. You aren't a child, we cannot blame youth for such a behavior.

E for better if you even look away, than to use such a weak defence.

As you should know, I pay attention to detail and specifics.

My post your are referring to, is person specific, very definite and unequivocal in my deductions about Lazar Markovic ( Marko)

And the bold in your comments is very much the substance of what I said about Marko.

What exactly are you finding difficult to comprehend and or believe❓

You wish to contend with me but what about Was the matter of fact statement by my person untrue, disinformation, misguided, exaggerated, etc

If you lack the capacity to contend with me in a substantive discourse and have to resort to assumptive, perceptive and fallacious sentiment based name calling.

I am sorry l cannot help you.

The intelligent question to ask, should have been how did you arrive at that deduction. But you have chosen a different approach.

Those where the T72 & BMP-1, old era soviet hardware. Even the terrorist can operate them without any manual’s
The SH-5 self-propelled howitzers are very complex/very tactical hardware to operate. The STI and VT4 shouldn’t take so much time, I think the NA HQ are just waiting for the right weather and terrain to lunch the major offensive.

A few questions for you to answer and or think about, to guide your expectations and assumptions.

1. How large is the NE? ❓

2. How many multiple areas of contention (conflict hot points) do we have across the NE❓

3. How many multiple and different armoured vehicle platforms, IFV's, MRAP's, APC's, MBT's, do you think we need.

Having answered these questions or indeed thought about them.

Are you still expecting some major offensive against Boko in the near future ❓ ❓

Not too long ago we saw the Chadians uproot Boko from there territory. We also knew where there destination was going to be.

I expected a major offensive then but it was wishful thinking.

Boko have now become entrenched on our territory and have literally taken control of large swaths of territory.

Our Soldiers who should be the hunters are very disturbingly becoming the hunted. Our casualty rate cannot be swept under the carpet with rhetoric and misinformation.

I said the months ago, we should come of our high horse, stop posturing humble ourselves and call our Chadian brothers to help us.
