Cc. Komekn how market?

Wow !!! How market for top Beast striker.

Joebie:
We can now bring Nacho into the SE conversation

Favoritism and double standard.

One goal and he now ready for the SE it's do laughable.

Meanwhile Dessers who has been consistently consistent over a number of season NUTTIN.

ChrisKels:
Komekn said the foreign born players do not need us to boost their careers, that they are rather doing us a favour by pledging their allegiance to us

LIAR telling more lies on a Sunday.

Please screen shot me, l challenge you.

Your perception is not a fact it's your opinion.

Taking the text out of context is a CON. Now quote me once again I DARE YOU.

Lie lie man were no get shame.

charlesemeka85:
to super eagles fans you have to be a super dribbler like jay jay before you will be certified good and talented but they turn blind eyes to efficiency and end products.

the same pple that castigate ndidi that he is yet to do anything tangible in the national team not putting into consideration that he is a DM

coaches of nowadays doesn't joke with tactically disciplined players who have high work rate with good final balls. i have said it before that modern football wouldnt have been fair to a player like jay jay

This is the fans zone where people are fanatical and being balanced and objective as not required.

End product is the main issue and consistency is what used to ascertain quality.

forgiveness:
Even the EPL teams that played in Europa League, didn't do well else they should be winning the competition. An indicator that they (middle table teams) are not better afterall.

I[b] agree Ranger is doing better than Partizan this season but over the past ten years, Partizan has been better. [/b] That reminds the fact.

You Clutching at straws, What has historic archives got to do with the HEAR and NOW❓

You are now changing the subject narrative to question the quality of EPL teams. That's deviation and irrelevant .

The subject is Partizan and Rangers which team is better ❓ Not who has the best history, 10 years ago Blackburn was a top team but not any more.

Partizan plays in a moi moi league and it's a moi moi club. Considerably lower in quality and standing than Rangers in the HERE and NOW.


Lol History teacher na wah for you.

Happy Sunday and Happy new month.

Danielnino00:
Is it today Vardy started playing for Leicester ? Or haven't they been playing kick and rush football in the past?

So when Vardy, Ngolo, Mahrez won the EPL they were playing Kick and Rush ❓

This is a team that had Ranieri arguably one of the best managers in modern football.

Or is it you just like argument for the sake of argument sake. Or maybe you simply lack knowledge.

charlesemeka85:
you are so pained cus he turned us down, no go hang yourself abeg

Highest rated player in the Championship by who scored.

That's actually quite an astounding accolade. Not one to be dismissed easily.

Curtisaxel7:
Leviticus 18: 22: "Thou shalt not sleep with a man as with a woman. IT IS AN ABOMINATION". Mosaic law recommends stoning as a penalty for homosexuality.

If this is not homophobia, what is?

First of all what is a phobia❓ From that we can dissect the meaning of homo- phobia.

A phobia is a type of anxiety disorder defined by a persistent and excessive fear of an object or situation



The punishment for Adultery in the Bible was also stoning amongst other sins. However, we understand the old testament in light of the New.

Let he who is without sin throw the first stone. We are called to REPENT and be restored to righteousness in Christ.

Homosexuality is physiological dysfunctionalism in the first instance. It's secondly Sociological and psychological deviant depraved behaviour.

Finally, it's an affront to God and man. God created Adam and Eve not Adam and Steve.

The order of the world is anchored on God led principles. Those principles are the way things have been done evolved and established for thousands of years. You can call it NATURE.

The American Psychiatric association classified homosexuality as a mental sickness. That designation has not been changed by scientific research to date. However, by social dynamics it's been declassified.

This adopted lifestyle is an insult to God's creation and order.

Is anybody terrified � and afraid to the point of hysterics of homosexuality. I have my doubts. I fund the lifestyle disgustingly depraved and outright sickening. But I'm not in any fear of them.

You should not jump on the western bandwagon where any disagreement with homosexuality is very wrongly classed as homophobia. It's an attempt to stifle debate restrict disagreement and prevent any contrary view against homosexuality.

We have gone in the West from tolerance to acceptance to equitable lifestyle by redefining marriage and now to outright PROMOTION in our primary schools.

So i think you are homophobic which means a great fear of the contention of this adopted Perverse lifestyle.

AndSunGorilla:
Onomah balling for Fulham!!!!

That's SHOCKING.

He has not been impressive so far in the season struggling to get on the bench and get minutes.

As it stands Ovie and Eze are ahead of him as it stands now.

I had high hopes for Tega Onomah but alas he's not been able to rise to the occasion.

jihday:
Last night, Ighalo was crowned Nigerian Player of the Year at the Nigeria Sports Awards.

Fabulous.

My number one player in the SE.

It's an indictment on Nigerian fans that he retired way too early the abuse and denigration was just too much.

I even witnessed a lot of it here.

Danielnino00:
Vardy is a player more suited for kick and rush football... Osimhen is nothing like him...

Na Drogba kind of player abeg..

Listen to what you are saying.

So therefore according to you Leicester are playing kick and rush football. And so are all thier players effectively by your definition.

Well l TOTALLY DISAGREE.

That means that Ndidi arguably one of the best DM midfield players is playing kick and rush.

Vardy is the top goal scorer in the EPL that's not an easy feat by any standard. And you ascribe it to kick and rush.

Osimhen is not a technically adapt player, he doesn't thrive on skill to beat his man but speed, he is very aggressive but not physical his number one attribute is PACE and POSITIONING.

Drogba used skill, dominance with physicality and extremely good finishing both feet and total air dominance. He didn't really use PACE.

So how is Osimhen like Drogba ❓

Vardy always plays with the ball in front,through balks and balls behind the defence using pace and positioning very similar to Osimhen to gain the advantage.

Humility017:
oga that statement was not directed at you...

joebie knows who own that statement....

and for you...so you can analytical
why don't you apply same analysis in relating to SADIQ UMAR failed sojourn in Scotland... one bad experience does not judge a player as damn poor....

instead you're trying to still prove how poor he is and not up to rangers standard even when he is doing well in Belgrade....

must everyone okay in Scotland or England prior you deem them good enough...

you really need to apply your analysis on this...everyone cannot cut it out in same league but that does not reduce their quality

You claim to be educated.

But your approach to analytics is questionable.

There are two argument here with regards to Sadiq but you mix them up creating unnecessary contention and confusion.

First, issue is was he poor at Rangers and was he treated fairly ❓ My view resounding Yes.

Many have faulted my view but not with anything substantive just opinion. To bring an excuse for the inexcusable. You go on loan and your unfit very highly unprofessional.

Second argument where was he before Rangers and where us he now ❓

He wasn't good enough for Roma, just another business transaction. He played games in different leagues and showed potential but was average or below. So he has had OPPORTUNITY at sub 10 rated leagues in the Eredivisie, Seria A and B not a lot of games.

He now drops to a league that's sub 20 it's poor and he is doing EXCEPTIONALLY WELL.

Is he doing well because he has improved or because he is in a poor league. That's the question ❓

My view he needs to play at a higher level at least sub 10 league before we will know if he has actually progressed.

Two separate subjects but the same individual.

tbaba1234:
Drogba was not the finished article when he first joined Chelsea. Neither was Lampard and Terry. Damain Duff , Joe Cole and Robben all became better players under Mourinho.

Mourinho gets results he doesn't neccesarily make or improve players. He always gets finished article is not good at creating players.

Mourinho is a strategist not a coach.

Compare him to Arsen Wenger and you can see the difference. Wenger creates, improves and redefines players. Wenger is a coach and then a managers.

Wenger is the opposite of Mourinho and Mourinho the opposite of Wenger. IMO

Humility017:
I have told him before one of the vital attribute that makes up a graduate....

is having a critical mind of analysis...being holistic in reasoning, ability to consider several variables, broad in thinking in achieving a goal......

a literate does not think one way only....

if you can't harmonise both foreign born and home groomed to get the best results in football it means you still can't do same in medicines, engineering, commercials and more

Analytical reasoning require that you have a unit of measurement that is unquestionably objective, inconsiderate of personal permutations and or circumstances.

There is nothing like Foreign born or Nigerian born there are only the best Nigerian players.

One standard irrespective of your birth place or where you were nurtured. Who is best gets selected ❓

When l was standing up for Obagoal, Ighalo and even long time ago Efe Ambrose it was based on performance not place or birth.

But look at what we have Nwakali brothers invited without any basis, Osimhen initial invite without basis, going back Iwobi invited without playing a single first team game for Nigeria. These are facts not assumptions.

Today Ovie has made his intention clear to play for Nigeria, So did Eze, Iorfa and others but double standard prevails.

You don't anchor your argument on facts just prejudiced opinionated supposition. To date NOBODY has been able to contend with me on the facts.

You deviate with nonsensical suggestion about Solanke. For reasons unknown but to yourself.

When challenged to substantiate your position you go EVASIVE.

You are talking about being critical. You haven't idea. To date you come up with anecdotal statement all the time. You will buttress your argument with statements like " Everybody knows "

When you and many likes you are faced with a substantive fact based deductions. You run away and hide or resort to vitriolic rhetoric and noise making with wild allegations.

elyte89:
Even @ DT,if one is not talented enuf or doesn't knw d football basics @ least,...a top club like Valencia won't sign him

For me a good agent is mostly a crooked agent.

In this context the gate keepers at the club will be looking for the best deal and the best kick back in thier offshore accounts.

Not neccesarily the best player if they can get the both they will.

Gate keepers, recruitment heads, scouts and even a lot of Managers.

Your agents relationship with them is pivotal. To enter some clubs you will have to deal with a specific agent.

tbaba1234:
I agree that Osimhen is a Mourinho type striker. He has all the attributes to excel under the tutelage of Mourinho like Drogba did.

That does not mean, he will go to Tottenham even if they bid for him. The choice of where he goes will be made by the boy and his handlers.

In my opinion Mourinho hardly makes or creates players. He gets the finished article and strategically places them within his teams for best effect and advantage.

Drogba was already Drogba before Mourinho met him. He has the capacity to motivate when he get it right but that's not all the time.

I don't think they will bid for him. Because he is not in the mold of Drogba. Lukaku came to Chelsea and had far better Drogba like attributes and reputation but NEVER GOT A CHANCE at Chelsea.

Osimhen is more like Vardy than Drogba to me in his playing style.

Or maybe we should ask, What is a Mourinho type player ❓ Because we seem to all have completely different takes on the same question.

Joebie:
Lingard? I no dey follow EPL like that sha.

Lingard has lost his way he is no longer first choice.

Joebie:
abeg when u dey go Europe 6/7 times I hope say na naija players u dey go watch.. abeg help us keep an eye of on them. Just because most of them are in England don't mean we don't have some diamonds outside. As u dey do scout work so, keep an open mind

A few years ago met a Nigerian at Braga he had come over from Nigeria.

This was when you still had TPI in Portugal the system was highly corrupted. I have decided not to get involved with Portuguese football l found there to be very little integrity.

Also they pay youth players peanuts imagine players on €1500 a month although they provide feeding and accommodation. But it's very poor.

Blueelf:
A mam that isn't balanced in his view is now telling me to get balanced. What an irony?
So because he wasn't fit, it was right for him to be owed salary and frozen out

It was right for Steven Gerrard to act unconcerned? If this is how coaching is done, would klopp have encouraged Lovren to get out of his slump in form? What of lallana and keita injured almost every time?

What were his fitness issues? Did he sustain an injury just before arriving at rangers? Or was he fat and obese?

You are not a sincere person Mr Komekn and the truth cannot be hidden under the sun.

The bold is an allegation TOTALLY UNPROVEN and you think it's total true. This is not Nigeria you simply cannot owe players salary.

I doubt it because he is not saying that he wasn't paid but not in full, that's means part of his income is in DISPUTE but in your biased mind you read it different.

It's not Gerrard job to get him fit. When you go on loan you should be fit or don't go AT ALL.

If Sadiq felt he was owed salary one report to the PFA and the matter is ended.

You have no idea and instead of you to learn you desire to remain ignorant. You ignore and even dismiss all the established facts, but hold on to self justified opinionated sentiment.

That sounds very familiar, you seem to be using two different monikers. You aren't new here.

You take one view that's being balanced.

I don't take a view. I establish the facts and the pattern of behaviour associated with those facts. Then using a balance of probabilities and the argument of the reasonable man, l come to an informed decision.

Joebie:
Even if Sadiq is balling in the Serie A, komekn will still question the player's abilities just because he "failed" in the Scottish premiership. That's where I don't agree with him. If you fail in EPL and environs, he will never give u a pass mark regardless of where you go. But on the issue of UEFA coefficients ranking, you can look at it by the most recent season versus taking several seasons into consideration. I've made a similar argument in the past.

and yes komekn has to admit that he needs be more balanced and need to start watching football without using the EPL as a reference point all the time.

I am very balanced and objective.

I have an indepth knowledge and experiential as well of English football. That means I know lots of coaches, scouts, heads of recruitment, Agents pkayers including Nigerian players and a few Managers.

That's my background.

I go to Europe at least 6/7 times a year on account of football.

My knowledge is not culled from the media it's quite often first hand.

I remember when stated Fikayo Tomori was not good enough two seasons ago. When l watched him a season later I did a U TURN.

When Osimhen was in Wolfsburg l remember saying he needs to go to a less competitive league and make his way forward from there. And progress it seems he listened.

My reference point will always be the EPL ask all.the players from Nigeria where would they all like to go.

Out most outstanding players have always mainly come from the EPL.

Blueelf:
Komekn isn't an objective fellow. I used to think the bashing he receives is because of the innit boys he supports but I was wrong. He isn't an objective person 6 times out of 10. He uses any false argument to suit his narrative even when he is surely wrong.

Let Solanke score one penalty tomorrow and see how komekn will shout that he is better than Onuachu (although both are prodigies in carpentry).

Can you tell me where l have said Solanke is outstanding talent just once.

Then why the benchmark reference to Solanke please tell us ❓

Blueelf:
Please I have a very important question.

How is Dominic Iorfa's ball playing ability as a Centre Back?

Cc Komekn, thesupernerd

I have said quite a few times l dont think he is the best technically speaking.

But he has speed, tenacity and very good recover with aerial dominance.

Joebie:
Komekn when I come UK I go like make we go stadium watch one of ur boys

No SHAKIN just give me the game and time.

charlesemeka85:
When Dominic Iorfa left Wolverhampton Wanderers to join Sheffield Wednesday in January, he did so in the hope of making one of the Owls’ centre-half positions his own.

But Iorfa’s Hillsborough career began in the role with which he has been most familiar throughout his professional career – right full-back.

And it was not until Tom Lees – the Wednesday captain and a staple at the heart of the club’s defence since 2014 – dropped out of the XI at the eleventh hour against QPR in August that the towering ex-Wolves man finally made the shift inside.


It is fair to say that he has not looked back, keeping Lees out of the side following the latter’s return (although they should be paired together at Charlton on Saturday due to Julian Börner’s suspension).


And in Wednesday night’s draw with Birmingham Iorfa gave arguably his best display in blue and white – something with which the following Owls fans appear to agree…

(He even provided the assist for Kadeem Harris’s leveller.)





Iorfa has now scored or made one more goal (seven) in 28 Sheffield Wednesday appearances than he managed in 93 for Wolves.

Actually it was Monk who changed things and decided to play Dominic in CB position his preferred position.

TheGoodJoe:
Very nice point.

That is why I have called for our Zone to zone screening process to take place in a more comprehensive manner with the screening time longer than it used to.

This will give the coaches more time to screen and also a chance to see more players. Making the final selections top knotch.

Also, there needs to be a solution to cut out contacts from Agents.

We do this while we work on coming up with a proper youth development system like having a proper inter local government league which will culminate in a National Youth Champions League.

There is a lot to do. Like Academies having their leagues with different levels.

Unfortunately, Pinnick is more interested in globe trotting than carrying out development work in the local scene.

When Amaju was Chairman of Warri Wolves and commissioner he still deh come London no be today.

Joebie:
Man U featured quite a number of teen players though.

Not one player is regular first team player for this season.

ChrisKels:
And a Kazakhstan club just walloped the pride of Britain - Manchester United

Astana is in the first position of the Kazakhstan league table though, but the Kazakh league is rated 25th in Europe while the EPL is second behind laliga. Astana isn't even in the top 50 of the UEFA Coefficient Ranking while Man United is 11th.

So much for the very very very low level clubs and leagues

Astana the creme of Kazakhstan were very poor they couldn't even beat the Man United youth team. Not one player in that team is a regular first team player for Manchester United.

Man U had already qualified and rested the entire first team for EPL action.

But of course you could never see it that way.

Curtisaxel7:
And that is why I am disgusted by the Bible. The Bible also approves slavery, genocide, homophobia and religious intolerance. No wonder it was used by the white slave master to justify the 400 years of bitter slavery black people suffered in the Americas as well as subjugate, demonize and dominate the black continent.

If this is the book you believe in, I pity you.

Have you read the Bible ❓

We understand the new old testament in light of the New.

I haven't seen one verse or phrase in the BIBLE that's homophobic. The rest you talk about is a question of perception.

safarigirl:
na because Nigerian men are following AA women for papers. Last month one of your brothers that married an AA woman for papers cheated on her and beat her up when she confronted him, the mugu could not even wait to get the papers before he unleashed his true beastly nature

Is it not the same way Nigerian men go about believing that it is only money women are attracted to?

This is so funny.

And yet so true.

The stories l could tell.

charlesemeka85:
I prefer to marry 9ja witch than AA witch. You will see an AA woman wey you like now as an african but immediately u mk attempt to ask her out what comes to her mind immediately is that u re after her for papers.

She no even Wan know whether u get paper or not but inside of her she Don conclude say u re illegal

Sorry no insult intended.

But Eéeeeeee be like say U no get lyrics, U no get Swag and your liver deh fail u.

Because me and my guys HAVE NEVER EVER HAD THAT experience. Maybe it's a Warri Ting, I know No.

safarigirl:
LOL

You think homely girls cannot turn to demons inside husband house?

Appearance is deceitful. No go marry winch put for house in the name of homely girls o. Na from 'marry church girl' some of my relatives carry gbese put inside house.

Wetin my eye don see for all this marriage talk, Nollywood never get the script

I know more Nigerian men who have been completely wrecked and turned over by Nigerian women than so called African American women.

When I see men leaving Houston, Atlanta, Baltimore, etc To come find wife for Nigeria l am very weary and find more often than not the fault is with the man.

Guys that are mouses in the USA will now come to Nigeria and become Big Willy - Will Smith and go deh do James Bond for Naija.

Humility017:
mazi....God bless you for this. so true....

African Americans are the worst set of people in the US to relate with....

they have higher divorce rate and others....


this feminism thing...is being foolish...

God forbid I will never pray for even my enemy to marry one..... they should marry themselves and make their own babies....

That's a very sweeping statement.

How many African American women have you dated to come to that conclusion.
