TheSuperNerd:
And please all these deluded and "obviously biased" Chelsea fans should not pollute the thread with their rubbish debates. We all know the only reason they speak for Tammy is b'cos he is a blue.

There is absolutely no way Tammy is on Osimhen's level. Osimhen worked his way up and earned a World Class Transfer fee. His €80M+ move didn't come about b'cos they wanted to do him a bloody favor. Victor earned every penny of that record move. The lad showed the beastly qualities needed to command that fee and that hype.

Tammy got into Chelsea's First XI for 2019/2020 b'cos of a transfer ban. And now he is out of it b'cos Chelsea's ban have been lifted and he is now backup to Werner.

In OSIMHEN'S case, Milik is being kicked out b'cos of him. Petagna is his backup. Mertens will be given a modified attacking role all b'cos of Osimhen's arrival.

How do you begin to compare a kid that was handed a starting shirt on a platter in his country of birth b'cos of a transfer ban circumstance to a kid who battled his way up from Germany's tough times to Belgium and then to Ligue 1 where he made huge marks and now he is in a Top side like Napoli(?)

You insult the talents of Osimhen to even begin such comparison.

Fact remains if Tammy had chosen Nigeria.... HE WILL BE BLOODY BENCHED!!!! WHY?? Osimhen is simply better. As an all-round center forward, Osimhen offers much more and brings much more to the table. Anyone who knows their football can clearly see that!!!

And Tammy doesn't have the Will and the Fire to lead the attack of Africa's most popular Football playing nation. The weight of the Super Eagles #9 shirt will be too much for the lad. That's the truth. He is decent and a good number 9 but we have a much more powerful and more impactful Number 9 in Osimhen.

Osimhen has the presence of a born #9. Tammy simply doesn't give off same aura.

Finito!

Tega plays for Chelsea that has the highest turnover of top level expensive forwards in the history of the EPL. Too many have come and gone apart from Drogba and Costa all have had to leave albeit with thier pockets filled with compensatory ££££€€€€. That included managers too.

Tega Abrahams ABSOLUTELY earned the right many tried but did not succeed. Why after consecutive seasons of outstanding performances in the Championship as well as in a struggling Swansea in the EPL.

Tega is the most currently and successful HERE and NOW striker in Chelsea. Chelsea is a big club with a big expensive rotation system. His first season in the EPL for Chelsea and 15 goals is not a fluke.

Timo Werner has not achieved anything in the EPL for Chelsea yet and indeed may go the way of so many more expensive strikers before him. Such as Morata. Timo will be given opportunity but the clock is ticking for him, it is not for Tega.

So your proposition is nonsensical without any substance whatsoever.

Once again Thesuperdelusional has convinced himself of sentiment based and emotive Balderdash that there is substance to his view.

But its just wind and fresh air, self - birthed and self-justified, infantile ramblings.

Aggression or if you like gra gra are not the chore attributes for a striker. Messi , Ronaldo, Benzema, Mbappe, Kane, Tega Aubmeyang, Lacazette are not overly aggressive but very effective.

Not too long ago Rohr benched Victor because he was too light weight and lacked presence. Was the very wise and experienced coach blind ❓ Indeed his first game in the AFCON was abysmal. He may have improved now.

Not one top EPL, Bundesliga and or La Liga club put in a substantive offer for him. All we had was media speculation.

Napoli has always been a top club in Seria A, but lost ground last season and want to get back. They have placed their hopes on Victor, l hope it pays off, big money = GREAT EXPECTATIONS.

Victor is very good and exceptional striker but he is not world class yet. He is not technically astute in comparison to the best, he has essentially been fast tracked. He has played barely two seasons of first team professional football. He is not experienced and has a lot to prove.

He is by club form the BEST Striker in the context of the SE.

Ighalo the other contendor though experienced and proven is not playing enough first team football or scored enough goal to displace Victor. And considering the competition in Manchester United may never unless he moves but I see the same fate falling on Victor if he was in Manchester United too.

But back to the irrelevant contention of Tega and Victor, l am not sure why this contention. But it stems from OVER HYPE.

I would rather use an indisputable objective benchmark Romelu Lukaku, never got a chance at Chelsea. But is ABSOLUTELY world class and arguably the best out and out striker in the world.

CONSISTENCY he is only 27 but has been a top striker for 11 years, Non stop continous. He scored 15 goals at the age of 16 for Anderlecht in the Belgian first division league.

However, after 11 years of top level consistency Inter Milan paid the same as what Napoli have paid for Lukaku, when he left Manchester United, 80 million.

That should put things into perspective is Victor anywhere near Lukaku in any way shape or form, ABSOLUTELY NOT. So stop trying to big up Victor by denigrating Tega it's simply uncalled for and childish.

So get your head in check stop being infantile and look at matters objectively not in deluded isolation.

Tega Abrahams and Victor Osimhen are not world class strikers both exceptional and bother different with different attributes. Who is better is a matter of preference.

EOD

nairalandankrah:
Im pro nacho but I'm fed up really..
It is so clear The coach doesn't rate him..
Perez plays worse but still plays week in/out
I don't know whether him and gray share same agent..bunch of ambition less creatures..
Agent be pocketing money at the detriment of the guys career..
Guy be waiting for vardy to become crippled before he will taste match..
Its rather unfortunate..

Perez is better than KC it's not a matter of debate, he is TECHNICALLY SUPERIOR by a large margin.

benji93:
My brother, i don't quite agree with the point that "Technical ability" is inborn. It can be developed, given a suitable environment. In your earlier post you singled out one quora post, but it wasn't the only answer to the question "what does a technical player mean". If you meant to say it's something you should have developed through your formatiive years, then that's probably correct. It's also important to note that one's technical ability can be enhanced by talent.Although they are sometimes subtle, you can tell when there's an input of talent beyond basic technique. Qualities such as vision are innate. It cannot be taught, only the end product of placing the pass can. To be honest it's better not to include vision as one of the qualities of a technical player. It doesn't put it in a suitable perspective. Moderately technical players may not have it, but yet they've got good technique. Technical players are usually midfielders, cos that's exactly where it's needed. And ofcourse some other categories of players can develop it as well. But yes you may be correct. Iheanacho is not technical, or he's well down the spectrum. Most midfielders players that are products of our environment are not technical. I don't think anyone will argue this. But i do not think he needs it as a striker or a supporting striker. Besides most players devote their time to develop their technique when they are lacking in other qualities such as strength, pace e.t.c. There are not a lot of players out there with at least three of basic technical ability,vision, strength and pace.

There are some teams that require a high degree of technicality to just be in the team.

For instance tell me one forward or midfielder in Manchester City that is not high level technically astute.

And yes it can be taught but like education it starts at the foundation.

If you have opportunity visit the academy of Chelsea, Arsenal, Liverpool, Manchester City to mention just a few and watch the training.

You will now understand why England is no longer producing kick and rush players that get into the National teams youth and senior.

However, in Africa we are still largely reliant on the natural attributes of pace, aggression and strength and that includes good degree of skill and touch.

However, to get to the highest levels in the modern game you will need more.

sheyishemba:
Oga Kelly ya cracking big time
Technicality is an in-built ability this is a noticeable feat in a player whether they are in form or not ...
Lemme enlighten there was a player named De bruyne when he was in Chelsea mourihno see nothing good in him he wasn't even playing in cup matches but the little time mourihno play him ...he shows an embodiment of technicality
Technicality is inborn just like strength and agility it has nothing to do with your form as a player

Agreed a players may get older and loose his pace and some athleticism but he will not loose his TOUCH and VISION ( Technical ability)

Examples are the ageless Pirlo, Alonso, Seedorf, Ibrahimović, JJay, Kanu, to name a few.

Liverpool are flogging Lincoln town fc ( league one) 6-2

With essentially the academy team, such is the gap in quality.

Interestingly there are two Nigerian origin players in the Lincoln. Timothy Eyoma and Tayo Edun, they could be current prospects for the SE for consideration.

IMO.

hardytech:
To be frank I don't know how you do this effortlessly it's just so weird, your double standard is really out of world, am not going to down play the fact tega had a good game but please cut all this necessary hype.

he played against a lowly rated championship side for goodness sake, there is nothing outstanding about his performance,he should replicate this against top 6 side in the league and I would personally hype him and swallow my words.

I recall when Victor " Goal Machine " scored a hatrick against a 4th tier team in Italian league .

There was euphoric unrestricted jubilation and accolades. And you are talking about double standard. That's hypocritical.

I qualified my observations with the term, "lowly rated Barnsley" But it wasn't just the goals but the telepathic understanding and communication with TOTAL UNSELFISH PLAY, by Tega to give those three goal assists to Kai. Thats commendable.

I see no double standard. Nonetheless, you cannot compare playing a 4th tier Italian side to a Championship side.

Furthermore, emphasis was not on goals but how they were scored.

hardytech:
he provided 2 assists not 3 and I don't think there is anything outstanding against a lowly rated Barnsley that just got promoted back to the championship in the 2018/2019 season.

I have said this before.

Statistics tell you one part of the story, l watched the full game so I got the whole story.

The three goal were all from Tega putting on literally a plate for him, without Tega he would not have scored one goal.

But l was more impressed by the almost telepathic communication and interchange and the ABSOLUTE UNSELFISH play by Tega.

Who could easily have gone for goal himself.

BascoVanVeli:
I am guessing Thesupernerd article was too long for you to read so let me shorten it. This is his brother speaking:



The economic meltdown started affecting those clubs and they did not want to spend huge money on signing players but truly, Victor told me that Tottenham came but his representatives gave Jose Mourinho a tough option.

He said they told Mourinho that he might need to sell Harry Kane before Spurs can buy him (Victor Osimhen), but I laughed that away as I felt it was never going to happen. Kane is Tottenham’s image and they can’t sell him.

I concluded that Tottenham would never agree to sell Kane because of a player who is not even a citizen of England. Mourinho also replied by saying that he really wanted Victor Osimhen but he couldn’t sell Kane.[/b]

Why should l believe an article, which is one persons version of the truth.

You balance things with rational and existing knowledge and then make an informed deduction.

"He couldn't sell Kane " Tell that to pre-school children.

After the U17 AFCON, a meeting was set up between Collins Edwin SC, Dotun, the NFF top shot, Samson Tijani and his family and during the meeting the NFF official threatened the midfielder that he would never play for the national teams again if he went against the wishes of Dotun.

Does anybody find this hard to believe Can a Leopard change its spots. This is the football administration in Nigeria.

Tobiloba2407:
Seriously, I think the army is in a holding pattern, and gathering equipment and training for the big final push(this is just my reasoning, not a fact), I have tried to gather information no one is talking, even army officers.

And I think that big push, would entail taking over lake chad,and maybe incursion into chad

Even belief rest on some level of rational.

Do you really believe that❓

Philosopher1979:
My defination is brilliant dribbling skills, impossible defence splitting passes, good decision making, creativity etc. I mean watch Firmino, de bruyne e.t.c or even the majestic messi and see technically proficient players.
I didnt watch Yesterday's match but if that is what he is playing now, then he has lost his form. Maybe lack of game time. The guy needs regular football.

Or you could just watch what Tega did with Kai yesterday to unselfishly give him a hat trick.

Using your terminology simply majestic.

Meanwhile Tega value must have hit the roof yesterday.

I watched a master class in forward play, by Tega when Chelsea beat Barnsley albeit lower level opposition from the Championship.

Nonetheless, for Tega to have scored one and TOTALLY UNSELFISHLY given three goal assists to new £70+ signing Kai Havertz.

It's a real lesson in technical ability unpredictability and savvy top notch skill, simply outstanding.

Philosopher1979:
Iheanacho is TECHNICALLY PROFICIENT. I am not really his fan but i can say it in his defense. In a technical league like spain or italy he will thrive well. I can bet my life on it. But he needs to go somewhere where his style of play will be appreciated
Watch him at youth level and in some games with Leicester and the super eagles.

Wow !!! Watch him a youth level.

Actually I watched him at Manchester city academy. Even then he was simply an out and out striker with limited technical ability.

He was not the best technically but at youth level his left gave him an edge.

But fast forward to the Senior game and that is not enough, you need more.

It may be good enough for the SE currently but that doesn't mean he is outstanding.

Just means we have lower standards in the SE and lack true quality options upfront.

BascoVanVeli:
The thing pepper Jose player that he had been going to watch at Lille. But it wasn't Victor's fault the agent went rouge and started doing what he wanted

Does that look like the comments of regret from a manager to you.

But the way Managers will talk to hundreds of agents about multiliple players, that doesn't mean they want the player.

If you want a player you put in a bid.

My view is Victor knows he will struggle in Tottenham to get game time.

Philosopher1979:
Leicester uses Madisson, Yourin Telemans and other players as attacking midfielders
Manchester United uses Bruno Fernandes
Man city uses Kevin de Bruyne and other players as attacking midfielders
Teams still use attacking midfielders. It just depends on the formation.

Besides Firmino with some coaches will be used as an attacking midfielder.
Even in Liverpool, he is a false 9 and not really an out and out striker.
It just depends on the coach and formation. Attacking midfielders are still needed and valuable

And they all have outstanding technical ability and play a dual role attacker and playmaker.

To do that you must be able to have a range of outstanding technical abilities.

BascoVanVeli:
And Osimhen's brother spoke about the agent telling him to get rid of Kane first. Victor's brother spoke nothing but facts

With respect whether lie or claimed truth.

It doesn't make any sense, consider what you are saying examine it and think about it.

You are going to a top EPL club, and a striker who has been at the top of his game in the EPL for the past 7 season among the top scorers in the EPL most competitive league in the World.

This a world class, proven, tested and acclaimed striker Harry Kane.

Then you who have not achieved 1/10 of what Kane has achieved. And Victor who has not even completed 2 complete seasons of first team professional football in much lower league.

Will say to Mourino before i come you must drop KANE.

If the story is true, which I totally doubt.


Don't you think that is simply crazy.

feelme2020:
Iheanacho is a supporting striker in a technical league like the Italian league.
The English football tradition is too dumb and unintelligent to understand his game
This may sound somehow but English football sometimes destroys technical players like this and this is
why i don't rate English football.

Anyway, the guy just wants money and he has it.
He does not have the ambition to change his club or league

First of all KC has very limited technical ability.

Technicality speaking in his team among the forward players, who is he better than TECHNICALLY SPEAKING.

Grey, Maddison, Perez, Vardy, Barnes, etc, to name a few. So if he is not among the top technical players in his club then how can you cast aspersions on the league.

This is the same league that Mane, Salah, Firmino, Martial, Rashford, Greenwood, Pogba, De Bryna, Foden, Raheem, Mahrez, Gabriel have all had thier careers destroyed.

The fact is that technically speaking there are over a 100 players in the EPL much better than KC. Let's be truthful KC is technically poor.

You cannot give him what he has never had.

do4luv14:
Oga Basco, its Aigbogun that discover Etebo oo, and also knows how to use him, before Sia1 follow suit, then Keshi

That's a very very contention based assumption.

What does discovered mean, because I was told about Etebo when he was at Warri Wolves. I promptly went to watch him in Warri.

So did l therefore discover him.

Danielnino00:
It's becoming obvious that all of Komekn's boys are championship level players...
Quality teams no Dy look their way.

You mean like Tosin, Tega and Tega, Ademola, Eberechi, Fikayo, Ovie, Osayi, Iorfa, etc, etc.

You imply it seems that the Championship is low quality, competitively poor and not aspirational.

You and few others have very erroneously said that money and value of players has nothing to do with quality.

Maybe because no second tier league and many first tier leagues cannot compete with the Financial standing of the Championship.

Then some of you argued, the coaches and managers are poor. When l pointed out Marco Bielsa, Philip Cocu, Benitez, Lampard, you kept quite.

And yet you still continue in this charade born of misguided notions not substance.

Tell me one 2nd tier league in Europe that sold a 17 year old teenager this season for £25 million to the Champions of EEurope, Bayern. Yet the league is so poor according to you.

The entire transfer budget of the Segunda División is competing with only Fulham FC in the Championship.

Have you seen where a La Liga team will take a player on a short term loan from a second tier league, to become an immediate starter.

There are many too many players will rather choose the Championship than the first tier of many leagues outside of the top 5 in Europe.

But your approach is a bit premature because the transfer window has not closed. There is near two weeks left of business to be done that is a long time in the context of football transfers. A lot can and will happen before that deadline.

ChrisKels:
Komekn how far nah? I thought you said Jordan Ibe wouldn't lack premier league offers? Oya come tell us another hot lie on how he rejected a move to the EPL to join Derby County, just the way you once lied to us that Onyedinma rejected an EPL Watford back then, to stick with his boss in the Championship

Lol �

Eéeeeeee deh pain you.

I swear down, the things I've seen ehn. Imagine one saying not calling players because of bureaucracy is an invalid excuse, so after we play the games FIFA will now tell us those games are invalid because we utsed ineligible players

Not too long ago Aina had his debut delayed because of bureaucratic incompetence by the NFF not FIFA.

So you go and tell Ola Aina it's an invalid excuse.

People don't want to face the truth. How can you leave out a player that played a part in his club finishing 7th in La Liga for an Austrian and Danish league players?

I think Rohr and his goons main target was the Danish league player. The Austrian player call up na to cover face.

Rohr should tell us why he called the players ahead of Azeez.

Very demoralising move.

Agreed without reservation or question

Akinwunmi Ambode did the right thing for not trying to do in Lagos what Obaseki did in Edo.

Reasons:

1. Ambode had nobody with him in Lagos State House of Assembly unlike Obaseki who enjoys the support of the Speaker of Edo State House of Assembly, Francis Okiye.

2. Ambode don't have the support of his 'Godfathered' deputy unlike Obaseki who has the full support of Philip Shaibu, a loyal and trustworthy deputy.

3. The PDP in Lagos which is under the weak leadership of Bode George has no member in any top political office in the state and in Nigeria compared to Edo state that has active Senators (2) and House of Reps (6) in the National Assembly.

4. Obaseki won the heart of Edo people by silencing the audacious thugs led by Tony Kabaka. Can you say that about Lagos?

5. Obaseki has many sympathisers in his former party APC, who worked for his re-election as Governor. The recognised Edo APC Faction Chairman is a good ally of Obaseki. That can not be said in the case of Ambode. All APC party members in Lagos lick the foot of Tinubu.

What I'm saying is that, it would be foolish for Ambode to pull that Obaseki's stunt in Lagos. Had it been he has done so, it might have damaged his political career.

Though, it is obvious that Muhammadu Buhari hates Godfatherism because he has been a victim of such practice. Now, under him, so many Godfathers were relegated in different States.

It is now up to Ambode who saved his political career to fight back. He lives to fight for good another day. That day should be closer than we all think.

AMBODE IS STILL A POLITICIAN.

https://m.facebook.com/story.php?story_fbid=2827821130650938&id=100002692371182

Actually l disagree, Obaseki had foresight and realised very early on, that Osho wanted him to become a glorified " house boy " Governor.

First battle Obaseki had was to neutralise the influence of Osho in the state house of assembly. Ambode sat down and buried his head in the sand.

When you see the smoke you know their is FIRE coming.

Next thing Obaseki reduced the influence of Osho over all the LGA chairman, Ambode did nothing.

Ambode is the Governor, if you don't have a political power base, then you simply CREATE ONE. He once again did nothing, it's simple board room politics.

A leopard doesn't change its spots, eating with a Lion does mean he will not eventually eat you when the time is right.

MC Oloumo is the equivalent of Tony Kabaka, Obaseki effective clipped his wings and rendered him impotent. Unfortunately Ambode does not seem to have any.

Believe, there is a lot that can be done to render the Jagaban impotent.

But you must have Liver, Heart and Kidney a good dose of forward strategic planning and foresight.

Finally, at the end of the day it's a democracy, " be man of the People " power lies with the people make sure they are on your side.

I have never seen a victory of a Governor celebrated so much like this by the people of Edo.

The people won and so did Godwin.

charlesemeka85:
Nigeria-eligible striker Ike Ugbo celebrated his birthday with a goal as Cercle Brugge earned a 3-0 win over Sint-Truiden in their First Division A game at the Jan Breydelstadion on Monday evening, allnigeriasoccer.com reports.

The Chelsea-owned player who turned 22 today drew a foul from defender Samy Mmaee in the 30th minute before dusting himself to beat Kenny Steppe from the spot, thus doubling his side's lead in the process.

With 52 minutes on the clock, he came close to adding a second but saw his speculative left-footed shot hit the upright after he received a pass from Kevin Hoggas.

Dino Hotić had earlier opened the scoring for the hosts while Vitinho added a late third to put the game to bed.

Ugbo netted on his top-flight debut in a 3-2 away win at Mechelen on August 22 but was unable to find the net in his next two games against KV Kortrijk and RSC Anderlecht.

A prolific scorer at youth level for Chelsea, the striker has been farmed out on loan to Barnsley, Milton Keynes Dons, Scunthorpe United and Roda JC to gain first team experience.

Cercle Brugge are back in action on Sunday when they face last season's Champions, Club Brugge.

Ike has not been impressive could not cut it at the various loan moves in England. To justify a place in the first or garnish interest from top Championship and or EPL clubs.

He has gone to a less competitive league, to show if he has it.

He has a long way to go IMO I don't even rate him as much as Chuba Akpom and he is nothing special too.

The SE needs much better.

sheyishemba:
Yh etebo is a CMF but he has been playing as a DMF most times for Nigeria
Nigeria only had a Good CMF in aribo see his crazy runs to the box ....why would rohr drop azzez the dude had an assist in last match against Lesotho
His overall performance was still good.... Why tijani or frank over azzez A danish player over LA Liga player. Thats really unfair.
Back to nacho...nacho had a good season 2019/2020 he scored 10 goals and made 4 assists in 1000+ minutes but that doesn't reduce anything from maja who had 8 goals and 3 assists with 800+ minutes he had a good Goal per minute ratio than nacho and also remember he has stamped his feet for Bordeaux this season when nacho is busy sitting on the bench.

KF scored 5 goals in the EPL thars the benchmark for quality not cup games against lower league opposition. It gives an exegerrated view of a players ability to use cup games IMO.

Danielnino00:
Etebo is a CM in case you forgot..

And Iheanacho isn't living on past glory...Most of the invitees are there based on their performance last season... The new season is still fresh..
Iheanacho performed quite well last season,so he deserves to be there...

KC has done NOTHING to justify inclusion 5 goals last in the EPL is mediocre.

However , what enables him is that apart from Victor and Ighalo, none of our strikers have hit high notes. We really lack quality competition in the striking department and are very very thin.

If a player like Ighalo or Osimhen gets too many yellows or an injury, then we are literally finished.

The list is not ambitious and all that bureaucratic complication in attaining FIFA clearance is just excuses. There has always been politics in the NFF and that will never end.

And if anyone thinks that Rohr is the only one deciding who gets on the list, you are delusional.

The midfield lacks invention and creativity apart from Iwobi, where will the creativity come from.

Seeing Ejuke looks promising.

The rest are thier on merit, past glories and there newbies apart from Ejuke I'm not sure.
