Humility017:
it makes you happy whenever our homegrown players are belittled I think

I challenged you to PROVE YOURSELF RIGHT

But you have like a scared terrified soldiers facing Sambisa gone AWOL.

Once again screenshot my posts it's very simplistic to PROVE YOURSELF RIGHT.

Your perception is birthed from your prejudices and or limited understanding and comprehension.

Otherwise you remain a BIG LIAR who believes his own lies.

Earthquake1:
There is nothing to connect, Algeria caged Chukwueze, Onyekuru couldn't make an impact, playing Onyekuru or Musa as a false 9 would be child's play for any decent defender

Coaching is not as easy as you think and you're overating our players

Agreed without reservation

Danielnino00:
The European transfer window will close in a week....Iheanacho and Balogun should better move....
Iheanacho own case is really sad..after spending so much time "soaking knowledge" under the "genius" Rodgers and impressing in preseason, he can't even make the match day squad... I wonder why his fanboys are being silent on the matter

I remember some Superdelusuional overly optimistic assumed football analyst announced. KC is back to form.

The reality for KC is that no Championship side that's forward thinking will even take him on.

But somehow he has been called to the SE on what basis 5 goals in two seasons of the EPL.

Meliforme:
Ofoborh is a CM. He just got promoted to the first team, and was part of their pre-season football. He has a knack for making pinpoint passes.

Then why is he nit playing in the first team.

Meliforme:
Whenever prominence is laid on passing skills, Nnamdi Ofoborh of Bournemouth comes to mind. He fits into the descriptions you just served.

Youth football is not senior football there is a very long way to go.

charlesemeka85:
hmmmm

England Youth International Mandela Egbo – I Want To Play For Nigeria

I hope l am right but was he once at Crystal Palace did not get far and went Germany, he was not very tall then.

Is it the same guy ❓

charlesemeka85:
alot are clamoring for a number 10 who will bring flair and trickery but with alex iwobi in that position we are covered.

days are gone when players like jj were tolerated by coaches, nowadays coaches go for AM midfielders who are more direct,purposeful with good passing,shooting abilities and high work rate.

the aforementioned qualities is why no big club tried to get jj even when his talent was obvious. if jj was more direct with good work rate he would have been the best AM to grace the game with his presence.

super eagles biggest problem currently is the CM position

Some people are stuck in a time warp of the 90's forgetting football has moved on.

Who is the playmaker for Man city and Liverpool if it was so important.

charlesemeka85:
ndidi is disciplined.heard his dad is a military man and he is an only son with 2 sister. the young man seem well grounded and i commend the parents for that.

iheanacho really need to leave leicester on loan, if possible drop to the championship to rediscover his mojo. the guy is just rotting away gradually

If I'm right he also studies Business part time at DMU in Leicester that requires discipline and forward thinking to do.

andrew44444:
You see why i always call you bias, i am sure if ndidi is UK brought up you will be singing praises

So because PSG got gueye you think ndidi is not good enough, teams and coaches have their choices of players, psg didn't go for ndidi doesn't make him a bad player and mind you gana gueye is a cheaper option, you your self know this, you cant get ndidi for 29 million, thou i am not using that as an excuse

Now let me educate you

Manchester united got aaron wan bissaka , does that mean he is better than all available options? he is not even better than kieran tripper, i wont even mention more, when Liverpool got robertson from the championship , are they not other available options of left back in the epl that they skipped them to get Robertson

Gana gueye is a good player but at age 22/23 which is ndidi age he was playing in a small french club

Manchester united got a certain winger daniel james from swansea in the championship, are there not better wingers in the epl? or you want to say that they skipped wingers in the epl just as psg skipped ndidi right?

Ogbeni komekn you self dey think before you yarn ooo

Wan Bissaka is probably the fastest Right W/B in the EPL. He brings to the game attacking prowess like nobody else and is technically gifted , tall and strong.

Then it's rare before you have a player who can also defend excellently and attack excellently at the same time.

Is he the best IMO a big. YES.


The comparison of Gana is food for thought not an inference on who is better. But you misconstrued the context and the meaning, mischievous football hooligan that you are LOL.

U too like trouble must everything be fight and negative assumption.

You matta to hard. To substantiate my position this year and last years stats for tackles in the EPL.

charlesemeka85:
esiti a ball holding midfielder? esiti is just like spurs victor wayama with slow pace. all brawl with no footballing intelligence and ndidi is miles ahead of him.

Bonke is a perpetual bench warmer at malmo ff while igbekeme is a good diminutive creative player. he is one midfielder i pray makes the leap to the laliga soon.

the problem in the super eagles midfield is not the lack of a dm but a cm who can initiate attack with ease,score goals and help defensively as well and the 2 who comes to mind judging by currently performances are aribo and ejaria.

i just pray ejaria sustains his present form. the lad is doing marvelously well in reading but the season is still very young

I would place above both of them the very versatile Chuks Aneke who was once hailed as the new Yaya by Arsen Wenger many many moons ago.

charlesemeka85:
you would have asked him to mention one midfielder we have in europe who has these qualities he mentioned that have been ignored since rohr took charge

On an impulse l think Chuks Aneke.

Earthquake1:
Lille buys Renato Sanches for 25 million

That may not be very wise.

Watched him struggle at Swansea a few seasons ago he improved in Bayern but not much and his attributes given a great boost by the quality players around him.

On the other hand dropping to a lower league and club may see him reignite his career with quality displays.

Earthquake1:
Onomah will have to prove himself first

Absolutely without doubt.

Another player l want to see if he can replicate his dominance in league one to the Championship is Chuks Aneke.

Earthquake1:
Aribo may be the man

You don't need to go far, we just need a decent midfielder

My eyes are on Tega Onomah, people say he has not been consistent. That's actually true.

However, why ❓ l have seen this quite a few times with players who have been fed a diet of purist technical football then to gain experience they go to pressing physical style of play team.

When you have been at Chelsea, Arsenal, Man City, Liverpool you are taught from day one to play a certain way, ball on the deck technical intricate passing game.

If you don't find a good technical team at the initial stage you will be inconsistent.

That's why l want to see what Onomah will do in a team like Fulham under a manager he knows and knows him. This his chance to show what he can do.

Humility017:
just leave komekn...

I think;
He is barely not happy whenever our home grown players are making progress in Europe ...
He hates it and always looking for ways to pull down their exploits...
sometimes I wonder His mission here on this thread.
Dude looks for a way to just write off any home grown players and now he is not happy too that German born players are being called up even when his borough kids have shunned us...severally and they keep dreaming of the 3lions call ups...
maybe he want us to keep waiting for them...until it dawn on those players that 3 lions call ups will never come

cc: komekn just my observation about you and your posts...you can prove me wrong..promise to learn and retracts my assumptions and see reason with you..

I challenge you to PROVE YOURSELF RIGHT .

Just make one direct reference to one of my posts here not two, just one that's all. That can substantiate the nonsensical propositions you have presented in diction and substance .

Perception is not fact it's self birthed, self created and self justified. So I'm not asking for your prejudiced paranoid based presumptions from your jaundiced views. But facts by diction.

If you cannot that makes you the BIGGEST LIAR here because you actually believe your own lies. That's the worst type liar one who believes his own lies.

So please don't go AWOL, EVADE and or use NOISE MAKING RHETORIC to shamelessly depart from the challenge question put to you.

Humility017:
yeah...competition makes the team better..

I see him as someone who will compete with etebo for the CM role...Ndidi is primarily a DM... the conservative kind..that sits deep to defend...

not until Rohr change the play style to be a full fledged attacking team...Ndidi will keep sitting deep to shed the defenders.....

for now Aribo can compete for the CM role

Unfortunately in modern football it's not enough to just sit deep and fefenf. You must very quickly move from defence to attack.

That's what gives you the edge and moves you up the ladder. This is something that Ndidi must learn and improve on. Football is highly competitive if you are not improving you are regressing.

Soon other small boy players will overtake you.

It should be noted with caution nobody really came in for Ndidi. That tell us something. We may hail him all we like but PSG decided to buy a near 30 years ago old DM. Did they not see Ndidi.

Aribo brings defensive battle ready but offensive capacity to the DM position.

Finally Aribo is very hungry if Ndidi is rested it will be good to see how he performs against Ukraine.

charlesemeka85:
Josh Onomah is pushing to make his Fulham debut this week after playing for the club’s under-23s on Monday.

Onomah is a new signing at Craven Cottage after joining the club on transfer deadline day as part of the deal that took Ryan Sessegnon to Tottenham.


The 22-year-old has left Spurs for Fulham in a bid to secure more first-team football, but he is yet to feature so far.

The midfielder has been involved in full training, though, while he also played for the U23s on Monday.


Onomah came through 45 minutes against West Brom's U23s at Motspur Park, getting on the scoresheet in the process.


He is now hoping to finally make his Fulham debut this week and could even get the chance on Wednesday night against Millwall.


Manager Scott Parker is reluctant to make changes to the side that beat Huddersfield 2-1 on Friday.

However, Onomah could secure himself a spot on the bench. If not, he could make his debut on Saturday at home to Nottingham Forest.

Fulham have a near fully-fit squad for Wednesday's visit of Millwall as they bid to make it three wins on the spin.

“We are all good,” said Parker. “Denis Odoi is probably the only one who is struggling a bit at the moment as he tries to get over a bit of a knee issue.

"Other than that, we are fit and well.”

Tega just needs to play 3/4 games to gain confidence and then consistency this has to be his breakout season. He has left Tottenham now.

Fulham are the best footballing side in the Championship and will play a good number of teams in the EPL off the park. The just lacked a good defence and so rightly got relegated .

Fulham are the best team for Tega to get his game back on track. Another kid l watched since he was 15 when Ramsey, Ferdinand and Ehiogu(RIP) were the U18 coaches at Tottenham.

If I'm right Scot Parker was a coach at Tottenham too so he knows Tega well. For many years Tega was the JJay of the Tottenham youth set up.

So let's see how he will progress.

charlesemeka85:
aribo's rating tonight against legia

Joe Aribo - 8
Failed to connect with a back post header early on, but didn't let that missed opportunity affect him.

Turned in a dominant display in the midfield, striding forward with purpose whenever he won possession.

When l said that he will compete with Ndidi particularly as he bring more offensively speaking. People went up in arms saying I am denigrating our world class Ndidi.

Competition makes the team better.

Joebie:
I’ve watched Odubajo’s clips before his devastating injury. He was pretty decent . But I doubt he’s regained his form

He is getting there.

However, his technical ability for me exceeds Dominic but then end product may be Questionable however on pace physicality and Aerial threat offensive and defensive Dominic wins.

gamaliel9:
Hum watching Ejaria and Aribo....the two seem to be at par..at best languid....not as skillful as Papilo who was more languid sef...Aribo and Ejaria lack resoluteness,combativeness or guile of a Papilo...

Just watch Joax Felix..the Portuguese at Vincente Calderon you will understand...


Ejaria and Aribo are rally average,we have to lower our expectations on them,enjoy their game...

Don't know what you mean by combativeness❓ l want to presume you mean physicality.

First of all when it comes to physicality, aggression, doggednes and drive garnished with end product, powerful shooting and some decent level of technicality that's Joe Aribo. With regards to Aribo you are talking completely without any iota of substance.

Aribo was wanted by a plethora of EPL clubs and chose Rangers because of Gerrard. His stock has risen considerably and if Rangers will allow it he will go to the EPL in the January transfer window. But more realistic and pragmatic to go to Liverpool at the end of season.

Ejaria has been outstanding in the Championship merging guile and skill with a good degree of physicallity to stand out.

I am not sure what you mean by average if that means poor quality then you ARE WRONG

Joebie:
Where is Ekpolor from?

Modified
Full name, Elohor Godswil Ekpolo.

And what influence did VicMo’s parent have I. His decision to play for Nigeria?

Is this the same Ekpolo that left Barcelona to play for Fleetwood Town ❓ Could only muster s dozen games over near two seasons and left for the deeper obscurity of the Nordic leagues.

People need to understand that there are players who do not need the SE to give thier careers a desperate and much needed life saving boost.

That will be true of most players playing at a good level in the top leagues and who have played youth level for England or any other top European league and country.

charlesemeka85:
yea the boy is developing physically.

I watch him in training and l know his coaches and he is like l said to you ages ago DECEPTIVELY STRONG.

tbaba1234:
@forgiveness

Forgive me l am jumping in at the tail end.

Are we the NFF considering a player who has played just 17 games in the Bundesliga 2 for national team call up.

charlesemeka85:
Ejaria In Rohr’s Sight After Upstaging Semi Ajayi ,Etebo & Ebere Eze in English Championship

He is been waiting for the call for more than two years from the NFF.

Humility017:
just read what you wrote....

the players you promote here are mostly scrab....
mind you...none of this German born players made a mockery of Nigeria like Tammy Abraham....take that in please

don't get too emotional about it .that most young foreign born we desire here...are German born players... even at that when it comes to talent wise Germany is miles ahead of England....

I don't know what you mean by scrab maybe you wanted to say crap. Talking about players doesn't mean promote but if that's how you see it.

In this context players l have talked about in recent times and still talk about as good prospects for the SE.

Ademola Lookman
Dominic Iorfa
Seyi Ojo
Moses Odubanjo
Oviemuno Ejaria
Tega Onomah
Tega Abrahams
Joe Aribo
Chuks Aneke

Are all CRAP according to you

Now if l say you are blinded on faceless forum by indepth twisted sentiment based negative prejudice.
You will say you are not but you are being objective.

I don't reply to nonsensical propositions because it gives it semblance of rationality.

But l have indulged you today.

If not for your blinded incomprehensible hatred that has befuddled your senses compare Udokhai and Jordan Torunarigha. To the players above and tell me who is on the ascendancy.

Germany is miles ahead ahead of England in football talent, Chei see how you deh reason it's COMICAL

Joebie:
I would like to see how Rangers fare against Celtic this season.

That rivalry is like WAR with no restrictions.

However, Celtic has been winning everything in the Scottish league for decades. However, Rangers may just challenge them this season by getting a draw or a slim win.

But winning the league it will still be Celtic.

Joebie:
This Best XI takes into consideration their culminative performance else Maja will clearly be ahead of Okereke. Ojo and Eduok have been more influential in the wings consistently. I’m taking note of Dennis and Michael.

Deji plays in the German 4th tier. Has played all 5 games so far

I know people here like to dismiss the Scottish league. But it's been a spring board for players to jump to bigger and better things.

Dembele left Celtic now at Lyon the most at one time expensive defender Virgil left Celtic to the EPL.

But Ojo has been playing exceptionally well as well as Aribo.

Joebie:
Sure. All still lacking game time except Jordan who has only played 45 mins in a German cup tie. Felix, 30 mins

When l compared both of them to Dominic Iorfa who was then playing for England and Wolves as a first team first choice player.

I was called bias and accused of being his agent over hyping him, he denied Nigeria.

These two German boys have done exactly what Tammy has done. But we still keep begging them.

In my opinion even Odubanjo who is now coming back to form after injury is better than them. Indeed IMO technically he is better than Iorfa. However, for the physicality of the English game, Aerial dominance and pace Iorfa has the advantage , in addition Iorfa is also CB.

But for the position of RB with Nigeria in consideration our technical style of play my view is that Odubanjo may have may have the advantage. But open to debate but he would be the best option seemingly.

andrew44444:
So his epl goals for 2 seasons at arsenal none of them are double digit ba?

This school were u go , Eéeeeeee deh confuse me.

In French league one playing for Lyon he was able to score 27 & 28 goals albeit his best two seasons. He has not been able to replicate that in the EPL getting 13 & 14 goals since he came, over the last two seasons. That's essentially half of what he got in the French league one.

Do you now understand ❓ Haba !!!

realpoacher:
Liar, Lacazette scored double digits in 15 and 14 goals in his first and second season.

You jumped in without looking and joined a bandwagon based on your own p re conceived negative prejudices.

You clearly did not read the whole comments completely and or unable to comprehend the statements written you then put forward essentially nonsense.

The pertinent issue raised is one of comparison. Lacazette was able to score double digits of 27 and 28 goals each season albeit his best season at Lyon. However his goal tally in the EPL is essentially half that specifically scoring 13 and 14 goals in the EPL in his last two seasons.

Back to you where are the LIES. ❓ ❓ ❓

If you were a gentleman with honour you would apologise. Is that too much too expect.

andrew44444:

Very big liar na em b komekn

I know say you go school but he be like say u I know complete your schooling.

You leaped before you looked in otherwords you didn't read the complete comments and digest properly before making your misguided and infantile inference.

Let me reiterate to educate you, l said he has been unable to replicate the same goal tally, GETTING ONLY HALF OF HIS NORMAL GOAL TALLY IN FRENCH LEAGUE ONE IN THE EPL.

I think you should apologise unreservedly for calling me liar. The facts are below.

Joebie:
Hahahahaha

By physical he no mean fight na

I wonder the school some people go Chei Lol

I laff tire
