Pls stop comparing what is not,right now I will pick Nwakali over Aribo but Lookman will start over fit Iheanacho.He is doing it week in week out in Atalanta.

On what objective parameter ?

lbrichman2:
I have been singing this song so much so that I now sound like a broken record
Who says NFF don't have money?

No questions are being asked about the AFCON Silver $4m money
We just dey deceive ourselves dey go

That's old money 🤑 it's been shared and divided by the powers that be.

Kog45:
This should not be Osimhen vs Tammy cuz the man did not mentioned Tammy but given accolades to Osimhen based on what he saw against Roma.

I would have love it if you bring Lookman into the discussion not Tammy cuz there is no reason mentioning Tammy who is not even our own.

Tega Abrahams is not part of the discussion but an observation he has come back from a very serious career ending injury.

Ola Alina is highly underrated without doubt 🤔

I saw something the other day not seen in the EPL for years a player taking Kyle Walker for a run and beating him 😄 AMAZING

Aina beating Walker for pace absolutely astounding.

mostob:
Their names? Or tell us who was the coach at that time.

You can fill in the spaces or go several years back when I talked about it .

All the Nigerian players who played for Everton at that time.

mostob:
Kelechi sha... Man has not been in the Matchday squad for sometimes now but he was at the fore front during celebrations yesterday.

New role 😄 praise singer 👏🏿

Abeg let me rephrase myself again. Best players play for big clubs. In here and now, AC Milan is bigger than Crystal palace. Nowhere in my writeup did I mention leagues. I only said club. Unless u can prove to me that Crystal Palace is bigger than AC Milan. If you can't , then all those ur grammar no hold any Water. It no go tey Fulham will be bigger than Napoli go comot for your mouth too. Remember once again that you are the originator of that quote. No dey carry goalposts anyhow.

Why then are Ronaldo, Benzema, Kante, Mane, etc etc playing in Saudia Arabia ❓

In general the best clubs have the most money 💰 but in the end players follow the money 🤑 🤑 🤑.

So, Komekn, now that Kelz and Ndidi have bossed the championship and are back to the EPL, what will you now say about that, especially as you've been critical about the two in particular. We know their squad reduced after the relegation. But Ndidi undoubtedly shone and was pivotal to their return all rounda.

Come on Dude stop 🛑 being fatuous and unnecessary. With your experience and knowledge you should be measured and objective on this forum, you are too intelligent for this. Don't lower the bar increase the level 🎚️ of quality discourse not reduce it.

First of all we are taking about individual players and not the just the team. So my comments will be about individual performance in the team.

The question ❓ will be were they pivotal to the success of Leicester or if you like, if they were not there would Leicester be worried 😩 and or miss them.

Ndidi had a good season, but I would not say he had an exceptional one . To use the diction you introduced, "BOSS" that would imply superior quality over all players or be in the top 5 in the league on all the measured performance criteria for his position. I've put a few screenshots and you will see he was not in the top 10 on any criteria.

Unfortunately, 😔 l will have to say No. He was a very good player for Leicester and when he was injured did they miss him was he pivotal, not sure.

Being objective or saying the truth is not hate or prejudice. Too many here take Nigerian players in isolation and just over hype them but not in comparison. That's emotive fanaticism and favouritism.

There are players who are pivotal and made a a huge quantifiable contribution outstanding contribution to the team. And there are some who were passengers and the choir members and choristers in the team.

KC has been a passenger in Leicester and had been objectively speaking 🗣️ impotent as a striker for the past 3 seasons. Leicester can't wait to offload him.

KC played 22 games and scored 5 goals that's very poor for a EPL striker claiming to be top quality. In comparison to old man Vardy 37 who scored 18 goals from 34 games.

The Championship is the stepping stone 🪨 to the premier League if you are an outstanding performer.

You can look at the statistics see link below

Bro; you and I know your assertions are "had it been" statements unfortunately Boniface wasn t available for AFCON and lookman stole the show

He scored the highest number of goals for Nigeria at afcon. He even impressed more than Oshimen the reigning africa APOTY.

So currently for the super eagles no rational coach will bench him over Boniface. This dude just recently light up AFCON. Boniface is good but I will always pick lookman ahead of him both for club and country. Put lookman in that Leverkeusn team and watch him score goals for fun. Many of those missed chances by Boniface, Lookman will score them. No disrespect to Boniface, Lookman is way more lethal even on the super eagles shirt

Boniface, Iheancho should be played from the bench while Lookman starts.

KC had been impotent for several years should not be in the conversation with regards to the SE.

Why can't Boniface be contending with VO for the number 9 position, is that sacrilege to suggest. I think Boniface brings something different that VO doesn't have a team should not be one dimensional.

daveP:
It is 2024!

Any consequent Nigerian national teams appointment without

Assistant coach
Set pieces coach
Video Analyst 1&2
Goalkeeping coach(involved database and mechanical tools)
Fitness Trainer 1&2


Is a facade and a circus gathering. This is no longer LUXURY. This is the NORM. If they can't get at least 4 or 5 of this assured, then it is simply time wasting, especially Setpieces coach.

No be only to dey mix archaic with modern be balance. Let them even ensure this template is laid down in NPFL so that league alone can be a selection pool for consequent appointments for these spots.

Quite a few years ago a couple of my friends were playing for a premiership team at the time. They observed that the SE coaching set up was charismatic led and not process led. This was causing several problems in team cohesion and strategy.

They offered to provide and pay for a defensive set piece coach from a premier League club for the SE. The NFF refused.

The best thing to happen to Nigerian football ⚽ in a long time.

For once a man of unquestionable integrity, it's better to lose righteously than to win dubiously.

There is talk of he doesn't have a UEFA pro license. It's a baseline of competence but it's not competence in itself. It's like have a driving licence ( in most countries you have to pass a test ) however it doesn't make you a an excellent driver.

You can have a BSc in business management and be clueless about how to run a business.

My only concern, is sabotage and contentions. The NFF for generations have a deep seated culture of corruption, nepotism, favouritism, godfatherism, will the powers that be give FINIDI a free hand to manage and select his team.

I think he should choose his own backroom staff and not accept the ones the NFF will impose on him.

Great 👍🏿 news

TheGoodJoe:

Sorry, but Ibrichman2 was pinpoint accurate in his analysis from what he derived from watching the clip. Your statement up there is just a rant because you have no point to back up your claim. Take Ibrichman2's statement and show me where he was wrong. Na wa.

When somebody gives accolades galore to a striker about his performance. You expect to see a few goals maybe a hat trick.

But no not one goal 🥅 from open play just a penalty. It simply doesn't add up .

lbrichman2:
My goodness!
What a player!!

Everything you want in a number 9..

Speed, strength, agility
Strong hold up play
Excellent movement and use of space..
Brought others into the game
Took his penalty excellently
Forced the opposition defense into making mistakes

If his teammates were a little more prolific, he would have had like 2 assists...
The header to set up Anguissa was too sweet abeg..
The cross to Kvara was top class as well..

Osimhen too good abeg!

Part of me wants him to stay one more season in Napoli with Conte
Part of me wants him to move to the PL

When I don't join you in this FANATICAL over hype it's called hate. VO did all this and scored one penalty your whole epistle of praise simply doesn't add up.

I noticed Tega has just come back from an ACL injury after nearly a whole season out with injury. Comes on as a substitute and scores. That's not easy 😞 coming from such a series injury.

Marjoribanks:
At Olise's age Chukwueze was elimanating Bayern Munich from the Champions League. At Olise's age, Arsenal fans were celebrating his injury in their Europa Semis. Let your Olise play in the Conference League at least then... 😂. Delusional being!

I am convinced you are an over exuberant SS3 student.

Let me quote you verbatim; This Olise is overhyped! Na only cross he sabi. Too slow and can't really dribble

I asked you to name one football ⚽ attribute that Chukwueze has that is better than Olise. Not two just one. You have avoided that simplistic question ❓ instead you have been ranting like a child and making noises without addressing the question.

I ask you again, maybe 🤔 you are unable to have an objective sensible discussion.

comodo:
Simple and short. The best play for the big clubs. Abi u wan change the goal post.

It's not so simplistic the EPL is the best league in Europe and Seria A is third.

AC Milan historically has much more silverware and I think MAYBE better players.

It was an expired and irrelevant Giroud in the EPL that goes to AC Milan and becomes top dog in Seria A.

The best players in general get paid the most and in general the best clubs pay the most. But when you compare different leagues it's not so straightforward.

Actually Olise currently earns more than Chukwueze and is two years younger has had a far better season and is wanted by top clubs.

Olise 15 games 7 goals and 4 assists
Chukwueze 22 games , 1 goal and 1 assist.

So Chukwueze is best because he plays at AC Milan according to you .

uchenna55:
He just asked u simple question, and u did not answer but chose to evade it with a question.
similar to what u were complaining about.

Do u think u r smart and others dumb?

As a man thinketh so he is, I am sorry if l make you feel dumb, not intended.

The question was leading in the negative and my response questions his negative implied assumption.


I

Wesley Okoduwa ( must be Esan) is 15 years old and on the bench for Wolves.

Seen him before but didn't think he was that great but apparently quite a few clubs are after him.

How good is he , time will tell

ChrisKels:
Did he tell you he is interested in playing for Nigeria?

Did he he tell you he is not

typicalgamer:
Bro all these on top a few paragraphs from the man

Have mercy lmao 🤣

I ask am simple question ❓ but to avoid contention I used repetition to make it clear .

Very simple state the attributes that makes Chukwueze better in all areas ( according to him) than Olise.

But he is still evading

Marjoribanks:
I don't have time for someone with low self-esteem. Language is for communication, young man!. Writing all this crap to prove what? lol!

You are EVADING, but let me be more accomodating to you.

If you tell me what your local language is I will translate for you.

So that you can understand, as it's obvious you are struggling with my very basic English diction.

Marjoribanks:
Everything! Chukwueze has everything better than Olise, that is why he is playing for Mila and your Olise is rotten at Palace!

My question ❓ is concise and specific to avoid the rantings of a FANATICAL devoid of objectivity emotive prejudiced person like you.

So before you start with nonsensical propositions self birthed from your limited understanding. Please stick within the scope of the question ❓

Be specific stop 🛑 acting like a politician answer the question specifically.

Kog45:
I don’t care where we get the midfielder from,we just need someone in that middle and if we failed to act fast we are not going to WC.

My wildcard would be Tim Iroegbunam of Aston villa, he not getting much game time understandably. The small matter of Luiz and Tielemans top international for Brazil and Belgium.

Wanted by several clubs his quality is not unknown.

Kog45:
Oga Marjori,I don’t think it’s ideal using a match to judge a player,pls let’s wait till season end and we use total output of a a season to judge them and see whether they merit the hype….Olise I watched this season is good irrespective of his performance against Fulham but he was even rated higher with the same number with Muniz of Fulham who was MOTM.I watched the match,getting him to play for us would be a plus.

If we can get him,Ogbu guy,Nwakali,Tosin and Okoye back in the fold then we are free to go

Remove Nwakali he is non starter, will not get into English League one.

Marjoribanks:
Moses Simon and Chukwueze youtube videos better. Iwobi outplayed him yesterday. Bassey was simply toying with him. I know you didn't watch the match. Lol! Running to YouTube proves nothing.

Moses Simon is not left footed if I'm right.

But Chukwueze is left footed in that regard tell me one attribute that he has better than Olise truthfully speaking 🗣️. Not two just one please.

You have already said that Olise is slow cannot dribble and he can only cross the ball.

Joebie:
Na still lion. No be anonymous mouse.

I was wondering why he collapsed and almost fainted season is coming to an end and they are getting relegated and he scored a good goal 🥅 for the first time this season. Unfortunately they got beat 3-1 and have remain in relegation since the season started.

Did he faint in disbelief 😱 l can't believe I scored my first goal all season.🤯 🤯

He scored another one in the Segunda Division last season.

Wow he is so prolific.

God1000:
first Corinthians chapter 7


So what does let each man have his own wife and each woman her own husband mean to you?

Literal speaking 🗣️ it doesn't mean a number it's a principle of marriage, every man should have his wife ,it doesn't negate wives.

God1000:
His father married 13 wives with 53 children, so this is not surprising coming from him.


1 Corinthians 7 and states that polygamy is unlawful; and that one man is to have but one wife, and to keep to her; and that one woman is to have but one husband, and to keep to him and the wife only has a power over the husband's body, a right to it, and may claim the use of it: this power over

By all intents argue and discuss but have great fear and reverence for the word of God.

A Warning - Revelations 22

18 [a]For I testify to everyone who hears the words of the prophecy of this book: If anyone adds to these things, [b]God will add to him the plagues that are written in this book; 19 and if anyone takes away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God[c] shall take away his part from the [d]Book of Life, from the holy city, and from the things which are written in this book.

There is no such reference to what you are saying in 1 Corinthians 7. You cannot use assumptive conjecture that is self birthed it must be stated clearly in scripture.

Joebie:
I want to see Nwakali get signed by a team where he won’t be looking for another club again sooner to snap him up. I wanted to see him settle down for once in a team that means business.

why 🤔 do you think he keeps getting signed by poor quality clubs with poor quality playes that pay peanuts ❓

It's very simple 🐦 of the same feathers flock together 🕊️.

He has spent his last 5 seasons in dead end rubbish clubs.

Marjoribanks:
This Olise is overhyped! Na only cross he sabi. Too slow and can't really dribble!

Is it blinded by bitter prejudice or you are just not very intelligent.

Tell me one left footed forward player in the SE that's better than him please.

The same reason you can't find a man with similar qualities.

How many men deh do hook 🪝 up for Nigeria compared to women.❓

Pidginwhisper:
I stopped rating Abbey after that London friendly against Ghana.😂😂😂

George Abbey played RB why ❓

DOptical:
As I said, only a fool thinks the Austrian league which has churned out the likes of Mane, Halaand, Szoboszlai, Dayot, etc who are all far better than most of the super eagle's players is a poor league. The brainless fool keep crying about young abroad players who were already in the academy big clubs. It shows the level of such stupidity. How old was Neymar when he left the Brazilian league? He was 21 years old. And yes, 21 yrs old is a young age. Tijani even left for abroad at the age of 18. Competed at the age of 18 against the players there and was signed. Had injury in his first season which disrupted his early season in a new country but he's doing quite fine at his young age.

As I previously stated, the defensive astuteness and technicality of a player remains unchanged irrespective of the league. A case study is Neymar. Tijani is doing quite well as a young midfield talent with his defensive astuteness, agility, technicality and being one of the top youngsters with the top ball recoveries in Europe. In fact, he recently dominated Inter midfield despite his young age. Same inter had just recently won the serie a league.

And I repeat, only a fool keeps crying against a talent in the national team.

You need help you are delusional 😭
