TheGoodJoe:

So stop ranting as if you have an idea of what is in the player's mind. He is willing to take low pay because he is working on building himself . That is a clear sign of humility. He was definitely better than Ponferradina but went there and excelled.

Screaming low quality player will not turn him low-quality. You screamed the same for Sadiq Umar, Osimhen and others, and they still proved you have no idea about them.

Finito.

Dude look at what you are saying

This is extreme delusion syndrome, player is taking peanuts because he is working on himself 😭

Dude is earning less than £1.5k a week peanuts 🥜 in football ⚽ terms and you say he is working on himself. So after 8 years in European football and in the doldrums of mediocrity he is still working on himself.

Your definition of humility Wow 😧

TheGoodJoe:

Victor Osimhen being sent out of the team does not mean poor quality. Mourinho sent out De Bruyne from Chelsea, from your false idea, you will say De Bruyne was a poor player at Chelsea.

Think of a better lie.

Nwakali is not De Bruyne and or VO.

So stop making nonsensical comparison propositions.

TheGoodJoe:

You are just jumping in circles. You blatantly lied that Kelechi Nwakali believes in his hype. There is no proof of that if he has repeatedly preferred to go to small clubs to help build himself. He is willing to take low pay, despite even being better than players in his team.

That is humility and not believing in hype.

Also, a player being sent out of a club does not mean poor quality. Chuba Akpom fell down the ladder, it did not mean he was poor quality.

Think of a better lie.

Finito.

I don't know Nwakali AT ALL , so how can I say I know what he thinks 🤔

He takes LOW PAY because that's all he is being offered LOW PAY for LOW QUALITY PLAYER

He has no choice in the matter . He must accept what he is offered.

At the TIME Chuba was disappointingly poor at that TIME.

joxxy01:
With Alex Iwobi out injured, I think this is Nwakali time to show that he is the best.

This is the time to look at a plethora of quality Nigerian Midfielders who are way Better than him.

superbloke:
This double standard is what gets me all the time.

Victor Osimhen at wolfsburg didn't get enough opportunities due to illness & injury = "he's not good enough"

Jordan Ibe performs poorly over the years despite many opportunities = "mental health issues".

Very convenient.

Jordan Ibe dud very well at Liverpool but as soon as he left it went down hill at Bournemouth. But not sure why his name is mentioned. I know him and he has NEVER been interested in playing for Nigeria.

VO. was injured for his entire time at Wolfsburg. Do you know he once played a game for the first team and was sent afterwards back to academy football.

Our own SE Coach said he was not good enough and ready for the SE. So why are you misrepresentating the facts to suit your own self birthed narrative.

TheGoodJoe:
Very funny to saying Kelechi Nwakali believe in hype. That shows how you can be off facts when talking football. Do you know Kelechi Nwakali personally to make such careless remark.

Kelechi Nwakali went to Huesca and then Ponferradina. Does this look like a guy who feels hyped? It shows humility. Tell another lie.

You are trying to turn white to black and red to blue, you are beyond redemption with your misinformation and disinformation.

This is humility in your definition, on arrival at Huesca Nwakali was shipped out on loan (too poor quality) . Yo add insult to injury,they couldn't wait to get rid of him tried to end his contract prematurely illegally. In addition he was the second to lowest paid player at Huesca.

He then goes to an even lower club than Huesca, which was Ponferradina a near bankrupt club. He is so good in the Segunda division nobody wanted him. But according to many here he was the best Midfielder in the Segunda division.

He now goes to an even poorer club for less wages in the name of Chavez FC .This is a club Enyimba will flog comprehensively.

And in your definition this is humility.

You can't change the facts to suit your FALSE narrative.

Nwakali has been poor quality and that's why he is surrounded by very poorly paid and low quality players like himself in Chavez FC

TheGoodJoe:

Nothing like poor. Victor Osimhen did not get ample opportunity at Wolfsburg. When he had his opportunity at Charleroi, he shone brightly. Got to Lille and shone. Making your postulations about Victor Osimhen wack and poor.

Quality is what you denied Osimhen had and when he got the chance to show his quality, he performed at a top level because of his quality.

With the right exposure, a true talent will shine.

No matter how you negatively criticise Kelechi Nwakali as you did Iheanacho, Osimhen, and Sadiq Umar, your negativity can not make them fail.

YOUR HATE IS NO ANTEDOTE TO THEIR FUTURE.

You are being infantile and immature, with your claim of LIES.

VO was struggling to get game time because he simply wasn't good enough.

Of course he did not remain stagnant and or believe the foolish hype people like you placed on him. Saying your too good nobody is better than you ,your being denied opportunity and unfairly treated.

VO accepted he was not good enough and then dropped to lower league, took time to develop, educate, and IMPROVE himself. He continued that trajectory and learning curve after leaving Charleroi going to Lille then on to Napoli it took him two seasons to have this dominance in Seria A.

He didn't stay stagnant like NWAKALI but kept challenging himself and improving.

The rest for VO is now history.

Meliforme:
Nwakali will be facing the likes of Benfica, FC Porto, and not playing against his teammates

Being in elite company makes you look even more elite and accentuates your qualities,
Nwakali's teammates are not as elite as you have claimed, that should make people give him his flowers and commend his qualities the more. Having those kind of teammates and still showing the level of quality that i currently is commending.

Anyways, Chaves is a good team .

What makes a team good ❓

The quality of personal and or the clubs standing in the league as well as the quality of that league ❓❓

Playing with elite players in your team improves you no doubt. But playing against elite players with carpenter team mates , just kills you it adds nothing just exposés how poor you are.

TheGoodJoe:

vOsimhen's pay at Wolfsburg did not show his outstanding ability . Pay most times is not directly related to a players quality. Osimhen is even worth far more than he currently earns at Napoli but is yet to get the right atmosphere to show his quality.

Exposure leads to increase value. With the right exposure, people can know the player's worth and increase pay.

So, it is delusional to make salary a yardstick of a player's quality.

You are telling Blatant LIES to suit your self birthed narrative.

First of all when VO was at Wolfsburg he was very poor at that TIME. So whatever he was getting reflected his youthful potential and current ability at THAT TIME.

But VO did not remain stagnant and kept relying continuously on past youthful glories.

He realised he was not good enough, so he had to develop, educate and improve himself over time. VO improved from season to season until he became the top goal scorer in Seria A.

Quality and oustanding consistent top level performance got him to this position not just EXPOSURE.

Joebie:
It’s a hype when you make it seem bigger than what it is.

Was Nwakali one of the best in the Segunda last season? YES.
Has he started this season brightly? YES
Is he SE material today? YES if he continues this way in Liga Portugal.
Is SE in need of his skill set (dead balls, hold up play, pin point long passes etc)? YES

O pari.

That's not true .

Why has not one single club tried to see sign him, statistics are indicative not conclusive. He is now in a worse club than Ponferradina and earning less money 🤑 why ❓❓

TheGoodJoe:

Kelechi Nwakali is not hyped the way you guys try to paint it. It is just an excuse to try to run the guy street. Kelechi Nwakali was strictly called for his ball playing and passing attributes. Those attacking Mikel were mostly doing it out of hate, and not football reasoning. Same with Kelechi Nwakali. What the hell does how much he earns have to equate to his attributes?

Because in football ⚽ quality and oustanding ability are INTRINSICALLY LINKED TO MONETARY VALUE and therefore wages.

Stop 🛑 denying the obvious.

AndSunGorilla:
Egbon, I will call a spade a spade, if anyone consistently talks down on someone, more or less insinuating that player won't amount to much in life, that's totally unnecessary and going beyond football analysis, in my opinion that's pure hate and it's devilish!!! Yes I agree with you we shouldn't over hype any player and conversations should be based on facts and logic but when anyone wishes another human bad and acts like God, that's nothing but witchcraft!!!! In the here and now, yes let's say player A or B isn't good enough but not wish them bad, these guys are humans too.
I rest my case egbon mi, help me greet Kenny o and
ẹ ku ewu ọmọ.

When you continuously consistently talk up a player not on merit and exclude all the others that's HATE and PREJUDICE.

Nwakali has done nothing of substance in 8 years.

elyte89:
Lol ….u go think say emeka Dey make €10k weekly 😀😀,

€5k weekly is a whole lot of money ,it’s because we re used to hearing top players wages ,we now look down on such amount


I am sure if emeka earns such weekly,baba mo go post for here again 😀

Sorry misinformation, average weekly salary at Chavez is £1.6k and Pedro highest paid player is on £4.5k a week that's about 15% of the total weekly wage bill of £41k.

That means a minimum squad of say 25 players will divide £46k a week Chei eeeee get as e be.😟😟

Meliforme:
How many midfielders averages 2 crosses per game at a precision of about 67%. There are full backs and wingers who doesn't command that level of precision let alone a midfielder, and you are not happy that we have such a midfielder, or what is actually the problem.

Making accurate crosses is not like goal scoring, An accurate cross has more to do with the player than it has to do with the other attendant variables.

If you know of any midfielder with this level of skill that we have seen in Kelechi Nwakali and Kelvin De Bruyne, please mention, let's keep the list growing.

Akor Adams can emerge as one of the best strikers in the world and can score tons of goals more than anybody. He has a goal conversion rate of about 60% which is massively impressive. I repeat Akor Adams can be better than anybody, the potentials are there or don't you think so.

You are talking balderdash and codswallop absolute nonsense without any iota of substance.

A pass in the EPL is not the same as a pass in the Segunda division. Different levels of quality and intensity.

And all passses are not the same, the quality nature and precision and impact of a pass cannot be captured by stats. It's an exercise is futility to be using stats alone as a basis for quality.

Stats don't capture the intricacy and exceptional skill used in a dribble,they just call it a dribble.

Please there is no comparison with KDB.

Joezinho:
E sure say some people here are under nwakali’s payroll.

Small 5k when he dey earn, Una still put eye for the money. Giving the young lad false hope.

Yet they keep on saying the government is the problem of the country. Scammers everywhere.

Actually the weekly average pay at Chavez is £1.6 a week, the total weekly wage bill is £41k a week, Jao Pedro is on £4500k a week alone the highest paid player in Chavez. That's about 15% of the total wage bill on one player alone.

That means there will be some players on £500 a week and some just getting £1k . Nwakali is not the star player so he is going to be getting less than £2k a week maybe it could be £1k.

And some people think that's progress hmmm 🤔

chrisooblog:
Using level of wages strictly as a metric of a player's ability is a measurement that will let you down from time to time.

There are tons of players who earn ridiculously high wages we know they nowhere deserve but hey it is what it is.

Speaking strictly about Nwakali the move to Portugal is obviously in the right step. The Portuguese league is rated sixth I think in Europe which is definitely a step up from the Spanish second divisions.

Nwakali will face stiffer competition and better opposition in Portugal hopefully for himself and his fans he will come good.

Before you decide to regurgitate the money argument I hope you know that nearly 75% of clubs in Germany, Spain, Italy and France can't match the spending power of even the bottom 10 EPL clubs yet the football they play is way superior.

You are being way too ASSUMPTIVE and anchoring ⚓ your deduction on personal preference. As well as misinformation.

Portugal is rated 7th in Europe not 6th.

The EPL is rated number one in the world 🌎 so how did you dismiss the entire mid section and below as the EPL as low quality and standard ❓

You cannot dismiss money and player value as being inconsequential because quality players above all cost big money 🤑.

Not too long ago I made a comparison players by player defenders and forward players in Championship Fulham in comparison to Porto at the time. My conclusion were that man to man Fulham were superior at least in paper. And in a match I could not conclusively that Porto were better. Many found it an affront and responded with vitriolic rhetoric. But none actually objectively appraised the team players one one one side by side. Just emotive bias and preference.

In the EPL the bottom clubs have the capacity at any time to beat the top clubs , this is very common but highly if not impossible in the Portuguese league.

A championship top club will certainly contend with any EPL club at any time and even league one clubd regularly beat EPL opposition in the FA cup and similar.

Very few if any of the players in Chavez will get into a championship club, they are really poor quality. When you are paying players £1.5k a week. Please be honest what kind of players ar you going to get be honest ❓❓

Chavez FC is not competing in the Portuguese league they are just making up the numbers and will be resident in the RELEGATION ZONE.

Nwakali is effectively earning less than he earned in Ponferradina why , he loves Portugal ❓Chavez is so low it's not a step up but down a reflection of Nwakali poor level ability. After 8 years in Europe playing for Chavez that's not progress.

typicalgamer:
Kelechi nwakali >>>>>>> Gideon zelalem

Both were hype prospects with huge potential but fall short of becoming an all round player

All top scouts knows and see this that’s why he’s not drafted by a top team right now

But I’m not scared Virgil vandyk made it at age 28

So who’s to say nwakali wont be a late bloomer

I get the fanboyism we love our boy i do too

This is the sort of misinformation misleading deceitful blatant over hype to justify what cannot be justified.

Van Dyke has never ever played throughout his career second tier football ⚽ in his entire career.

He started as a teenager in Groningen FC in the Eredivise division. Had a set back he nearly died from appendicitis and liver complications was admitted to hospital on life support and couldn't walk for near two weeks.

However, recovered excelled in the Eredivise and Celtic bought him for £2.6million in 2013. Then sold him to Southampton in for near £15 million in 2015 after an outstanding few seasons once again he was in high demand with multiple clubs hr signed effective December 2017 for Liverpool most expensive defender in world 🌎 football ⚽ at that time for £75 million.

This is a player since his teenage years has been for over 14 years never stopped moving forward. Thats consistent continuous improvement and progression. He was classed as the best CB in the world at one stage.

And you have the audacity to compare him to NWAKALI.

What Van Dyke achieved as a teenager Nwakali has not even scratched the surface of . Please stop these ludicrously nonsensical comparisons its literally madness.

Marjoribanks:
Nwakali is a very good player. He has been unlucky so far!
Anytime I watch him play I marvel. Just watch his game against Athletico Madrid!

Chaves provides him the opportunity to showcase his extra ordinary talent and he will and get that move to higher things.
Better late then never. Look at Akpom now!

Chuba Akpom is one in a thousand.

Listen to your delusions you are talking about an inconsequential friendly match of 5 years ago , please don't be so desperate.

Nwakali has been in Europe for 8 years and nothing achieved of substance in football.

Stats are indicative not conclusive and when taking out of context outright misleading and deceptive.

Kog45:
Fact,Nwakili is doing it in division one,yes poor wages but better than segunda,a good step.

If you look beyond the superficial, then you my ay see it's not necessarily a step up.

The Portuguese league has a huge gulf between the top 6/7 clubs and the bottom 4/5 clubs. The bottom clubs without prejudice will struggle in English League two. Again without Prejudice Enyimba will flog and leave in the dust Chavez FC.

Is it better to be in Southampton in the Championship average income £34k a week or the Portuguese Premier league with Chavez FC average weekly income £1.5k .

Where do your think if you perform you are most likely to get better recognition and valued appreciation ❓

We can't deny that batter players cost money and if your average weekly salary is £1.5k you are surrounded by carpenters and poor quality players. You are not going to get noticed.

Have a think about it , consider the income average of Ponferradina and that of Chavez FC. Shockingly Ponferradina is actually higher. It looks like a move from one level of mediocrity to another. Nothing to be commended here IMO.

Napoleon55:
U are so predictable with this ur weekly wages muck

And then, u can never go pass any comment with Nwakali's name in it without a full outpouring of your odium
and opprobrium.

This is beyond obsession
This is wicked desperation.
You have taken this to a new extreme.

Show one Lie or a simple UNTRUTH

So who is the Liar overcome with favouritism and emotive blind over zealous preference.

Meliforme:
You once said Nwakali cannot dribble, but he dribbles better than Amrabat.
You have said Nwakali is slow, but in reality he is faster than Amrabat.

You have said those, and for saying those, it is very clear that you have not done your observations well.

Them why does no better team want him and why is he getting peanuts ❓

Kog45:
Yes he is doing it in top league which has been my point all these while.He just played a match and from reported here he did well before subbed out.

Mind you Nigerians didn’t hate Nwakili but here,we have hype and underrated fans with very few bringing logical analysis on his game

It’s left for Nwakili to tell us he is ready and it will be base on his performances and good he took a good step moving to division one.

Right now,his chances are bright cuz nobody will tell us he is doing it in segunda again

Dude is playing in a dead teamin a good league gettin peanuts, that does not immediately Equate to quality.

Amedino99:
this thing don pass normal analysis. This is full blown hatred. Sha rora

Tell me one thing I have said not two that is UNTRUE.

So saying the truth is HATRED,l know the truth can be bitter but it's not HATRED.

You are being overly sentimental and overcome with favouritism.

Bannedlargedx2:
My guy, what has nwakali done to you or your family because this your vindictive mindset towards him is sad. He might not be the best player in the world but man is just trying to earn a living and put his best possible effort

First question ⁉️ is anything I said here I'm my responsive write ✍️ up UNTRUE please ❓

I have just debunked the nonsensical praise singing and over hyping of a player who had done nothing for ,8 years in Europe. But somehow some of you think he deserves to be in the SE .

That's what I am doing.

Truidstar:
Bro, please give him benefit of the doubt. Season just started… too early to judge.

The club he is in is piss poor if they don't get RELEGATED it's a miracle.

Do you know teenage academy players in the EPL and Championship get better wages than the Chavez players. Imagine average weekly salary inva Portuguese first division team club just above £1.5k a week. That's shambolic and very poor, you cannot get a quality player for £1.5k a week.

I compared there weekly wages with a club in the English league two and the league two team is higher.

mostob:
The trio has always been my preferred midfield combo. I just couldn't hold on to that anymore due to how disappointing Nwakali's career has turned out. I really wish he play his way up again. Alampasu and Onyekuru too, my God will judge them

Not too long ago many said the Championship was a farmer's league.

Meanwhile 3 games and he is doing marvelously well, don't you think that's a bit premature.

The Championship is not a sprint but a marathon, don't be over zealous with unmerited praise be objective.

charlesemeka85:
Nwakali is better than Veratti. Check their stats 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗 I agree 💯

charlesemeka85:
u suppose don get use to this agenda na cus em don tey here sotey the main anchor don take sabbatical leave for over 6 months now 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣


How on earth will one compare nwakali to one of the best cdm in a big league like serie A and top Europe as a whole

A player who held he’s own against world class midfielders at the last World Cup and came out top that made the whole world take notice of him

Na only sentimental,bias and emotional folks will dare to even consider putting nwakali and Amrabat in the same category

Maybe wetin Dey deceive them na the move to Chaves in the portuguese top flight wey follow for possible candidates for relegation at the end of this current season in Portugal 🇵🇹


The reason I always say that we re not different from the Dutch and English fans because we tend to over hype our own🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Agreed without question ❓

Kog45:
Lookman,Iwobi,Chuckwueze for now but as season progresses my preferred list might changed cuz am seeing Nwakili coming in if he can shake the table in Portuguese league….

Quality teams buy quality players and quality players cost big money 🤑.

Chavez is at the bottom of the Portuguese league, unlike the EPL even Championship there is huge gulf between the top 6 teams in the Portuguese Primeira Liga and the bottom section.

Why else would they be buying dead and expired players. Without prejudice this Chavez team will struggle in the English league one.

To put matters into perspective the weekly wage bill of Bradford City FC in English League two is £54k with average weekly salary £1929. In comparison Chavez FC weekly wage bill is £41k and average weekly salary is £1644.

The Portuguese league bottom end is really very poor quality. What quality player are you going to pay £1k a week in Europe.

It's possible that NWAKALI the Midfield maestro Supremo is getting lower wages in Portugal from his €2k plus EUR than he he got at Ponferradina in the Segunda division.

Currently Chavez is in the relegation zone and looking like they are there permanently. Nothing will be happening in that backwater bankruptcy club. It's a reflection of his very limited attributes that he after 8 years in Europe still scratching the bottom of pot.

Philosopher1979:
ONE OF THE SOLUTiONS TO OUR MiDFiELD PROBLEMS iS KELECHI NWAKALI

A veritable solution to our midfield problems is nwaali
People who hate him are somwhat bias and illogical.
We simply dont have many options.
i am only been logical
1. We have fantastic forwards
2. We lac creative midfielders apart from iwobi
3. Nwaali addition will boost the creativity of our midfield
4. logically speaking we could have qualified for the world cup if he played against Ghana.
5. Again with logic if he plays in the next nations cup we might win it.
why?
his ability to dominate the midfield will mae us win matches.
Cant you see we have the best attac in Africa?
with him in our midfield there is no one that can defeat us in African football
We will beat sengal mali egypt morocco etc
to see how good he is let Nigeria play Morocco and put him in midfield
i am confident that he can collect the midfield from Arambat and all these moroccan midfielders
God has given us a solution to our problems but we despise him and we will suffer for it if we dont appreciate him
He is and can be our secret weapon but
A lot of people here dislie him for no logical reason.
Time will prove them wrong

You watching to many children football cartoons.

Wake up from your delusional dream.

viciati:
You mean Nwakali Sir😎😎😎

No the midfield maestro that ripped apart the Segunda division after three high flying seasons and is wanted by all the top clubs in Europe.

Joebie:
wait! Komekn is it true?

If you have been mostly injured for the past two seasons then you become a liability. Particularly in a small club like Luton.
