Jude billingham,Jude billingham,Jude billingham everytime,
All these guys u keep using all d time to counter arguments don't play 4 Nigeria.
It would be better if u talk more about Nigerian players than all those guys who may never have anything to do with us.

U have turn this thread between you and English players vs we and Nigerian players.

This thread is supposed to be all about Nigerian players.

Everything is in context.


Tomori, Aina , Tega Abraham, Eze, Olise, Tosin Adarabioyo, are from Ukraine abe

I rate chukwueze highly, the way he runs with the ball is magical... Just that he holds on to the ball for long when his playing for S.E.

Osimhen also gets offside a lot for S.E..

I have issues with players who seem to intentionally not play well for the S.E.

The players in that quote fall under the they don't play well for the S.E tag so they should be benched.

I rate Osimhen but I believe he should be benched when playing for the S.E and come on in 2nd half or be subbed off in the 60-65th minute of the 2nd hakf . His offsides for the S.E is too much.

There was a time when I used to be overly impressed with dribbling, skill, show boating, swag on the ball, etc


However, not anymore because without END PRODUCT it amounts to wind and fresh air .

Unfortunately, clubs are looking for end product not the promise of end product and flattery.


Look 👀 at Allan Saint-Maximin, he looks absolutely unstoppable in his day but his end product is abysmal.

yaya toure once’s played in ukraine and Greece before making it to bigger European leagues and clubs first with Monaco in ligue 1 before joining barca

The Bulgarian league also produced greats like Berbetov and ex Barca star Stoichkov who left the league and played for Europe’s finest teams

On the 20th of July 2020 a 17 year old left Birmingham City in the Championship straight into the Borussia Dortmund first team. For the sum of £25 million pounds.

Almost 3 years later after multiple accolades he is now gone to Real Madrid for what could rise to £115 million pounds.

Jude Billingham did not do any stop 🛑 overs or route transfer over several years. Just straight to greatness and near now World 🌎 class from the Championship. Shockingly he is still only 19 years old.

There is a big difference between Jude Billingham and the examples you have made. He went to the top 🔝 no DELAY.

charlesemeka85:
unless they are truly exceptional or plays in the English championship 🤣🤣

We all understand 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Well where was Jude Billingham playing before every top level club was fighting for his signature.

Yes it's a good unit 😁 of measurement for quality.

Where did Tomori, Aina , Tega Abraham, Eze, Olise, Tosin Adarabioyo, etc ,etc prove themselves before making breakthrough.

Yes 👍🏿you said it the English Championship 😊😊

elyte89:
If I am to choose… football intelligence wise , I will go for Nnadi …he can excel too in d cm position but majority would go for eletu

Daga can still chill for now

What club does Nnadi play for ❓

I don't like to make huge predictions about players unless they are truly oustanding exceptional. And it if they have started playing first team football.

ChrisKels:
Why exactly are you guys celebrating this kid's decision to visit his village? Football wise, this shit doesn't make any sense to me. For f's sake this kid didn't give a flying f about you all when he chose England over you. If he was looking for celebration, let him demand that from his English folks. You guys should stop disturbing us with this yeye noise abeg.


The ones who are worth celebrating over here are those sweating for us, not some English boys with African heritage.

I don deh warn you since.

This your obsession with bitter leaf and stale fish 🐟 soup 🍲. With 6-6 akpoo. Is not good for you .

It is causing you to have continuous bad belle, acid reflux, rancour with green eyes envy. Please it's affecting you badly.

Your 👀 eye sight is now affected when people are seeing light 🕯️ you can only see darkness .

When people are joyous with celebration you are filled with animosity, hostility and deep seated hate, it's seems your heart ♠️♠️♠️is very black.

You need deliverance.

You could start off with a Coke and a 😊 smile and then retrace your steps back 🔙 to the LIGHT.

Bros he just got the African MVP award for La Liga, is La Liga not part of top 5 European league again?

The Santander MVP AWARD is a popularity award in which sport's journalists and Football fans from across the African continent cast their vote in the popular LaLiga Santander African MVP Award.

Inaki Williams Ghanaian played 36 games and almost doubled Chukwueze goal 🥅 tally with 10 goals.

Considering the population of Nigeria Chukwueze was always going to have the advantage.

Essentially It's not performance related.

typicalgamer:
Salah plays tennis
While mahrez plays basketball

No they are ball boys 😔

jubilantagida:
Alexander Isak.

Immediate domination in the EPL.

Isak is number 18 in the goal scoring charts he is not even in the top 10.

He has done very well for 22 games but immediate domination a big capital NO.

PLEASE 🥺 look again and try again.

solonnachi:
If Victor Osimhen and Samuel Chuks are not part of the 3 nominated for CAF African player of year 2023, then CAF is corrupt.

I don't think corrupt is the right word.

With regards to Chukwueze is he the best winger in Africa ❓Is he the most oustanding African forward wing player in Europe top five leagues ❓

andrew444:
There is nothing difficult about the championship ,even Chuba akpom found life easier there than Greece

Laliga is harder to score than the epl ,onuachu would have done better in a team like Fulham or palace

You can say that to Benteke .

Tell me one stiker that came from La Liga to the EPL and had immediate domination in the past decade just one not two.

Then let's see how many left the EPL and immediately had dominance in La Liga or Seria A. Too many players who struggled in the EPL become General and Chairmen on arrival in Seria A or La Liga.

Arnaut Danjuma a winger left Bournemouth in the Championship to VillaReal and became the highest goal scorer in the Club with 10 goals. Chukwueze has never scored double figures in La Liga.

Lacazette left Arsenal struggling to score goals as well as Balogun struggling to even get game time. Lacazette is just behind Mbappe with 27 goals and Balogun is joint number 4.

My former best Midfielder for Nigeria Etebo, went into the Championship and after two seasons was far from oustanding that accolade went to Eze and Olise. Even Mikel Obi did not dominate in the Championship either.

A 17 year old boy left Birmingham city in the Championship and immediately had domination in the Bundisliga he is now the most sought after and arguably best Midfielder in the world at 19 🌍. I'm talking about Jude Billingham.

There is NOTHING difficult about the Championship but Isaac Success was essentially woeful there. Omeruo was so good after two seasons with Middlesbrough in the Championship nobody wanted him. Jamilu Collins has got lost completely in the Championship although injury has not helped him.

Yet you jwnr the audacity to say there is NOTHING DIFFICULT about the Championship.🤔🤔

KC. has been RELEGATED to the Championship he will be starter because all the players who can move have left . That being the case KC should at least be the third highest goal 🥅 scorer for Leicester City in 2023/24 season in the Championship. Same follows for Paul Onuachu too.


Because according to you Football analyst supremo, the Championsip is easy . Go and look at Ismaila Sarr 39 games in the Championship and 10 goals. Do you think KC and Onuachu are better than him ❓

Nuff said.

lbrichman2:
True but we need to accept not every player will play in the top leagues

Agreed but there has to be a minimum standard of sorts.

The SE has to be a about getting the best players which will be based on oustanding consistent top level performance in club and league.

maidaboi:
LOL you specifically said interest and not offer in your post no de shift goalpost abeg

What constitutes interest ❓

In all honesty interest is the prelude to an offer, not all interest is interest.

Tessyy1701:
He said what he said, In the HERE and NOW no EPL side will buy Kelechi 🧢

Keyword:- Here and Now which is just last week, things might have changed now

Incidentally the word is interest not a substansuve offer. By the way your source please.

Nottingham forest will need a proven goal 🥅 scorer not an impotent one IMO

lbrichman2:
He did well for them
Seems to be enjoying his football again

So he wants to remain in backwaters of European football ⚽.

What's he enjoying, mediocrity.

He should be trying to leave not remain in darkness.

charlesemeka85:
After his £18 million move to the English Premier League in January failed to work out, Southampton forward Paul Onuachu might be loaned back to his former club, KRC Genk.

I think he should go to La Liga , any mid table club and a bit higher will suit his particular skill set.

If he goes down to the Championship he may find it difficult, the intensity and physicality plus he lacks speed .

Ofunaofu:
https://punchng.com/adeyeye-hails-osinbajos-quiet-exit-from-office/?amp

He left very Quietly.

Just as his ineffective and consentual relationship to impunity, corruption, nepotism , religious discrimination and disinformation was always QUITE.

Osinbanjo kept Quite in the face of injustice and reckless executive abuse of power, he was QUITE.

He has left very Quietly a titanic disappointment to all Nigerians and Christians in particular. Osinbanjo so called pastor, man of God was QUITE, SILENT and did NOTHING to fight evil.

He is as guilty as the perpetrators a TITANIC DISAPPOINTMENT

AndSunGorilla:
I doubt they can afford Ighalo. Am certain Jude made a killing in Saudi.

Luton is just outside London and he may want to live in London and see his playing career out and maybe go into coaching good retirement move for him IMO.

Ppogbae:
Saudi league legend calls it day with Al Hilal. Where to next for Odion?

Luton Town FC

charlesemeka85:
this guy self, how dare you compare our midfield maestro to onyedimma?

Can onyedimma ever attract interest from a top serie A team?

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣😂😂😂😂😂

chuks404:
you truly have time
The guy is evasive. Whether anyone likes it or not the HERE AND NOW theory says iheanacho is the best. Better than everyone in the club according to the club.

No no a big capita no.

KC is the fans favourite that doesn't make him the best player.

You have a winger with 13 goals in the EPL this season and a number 9 KC with just 5 this season.

Has your favouritism for your player made you murder common sense.

Danielnino00:
I could sell off this post as manure...

I guess it's what your have for breakfast, lunch and dinner please enjoy it.

Danielnino00:
Did you care about Isaac Success's mental health when you labelled him a waste man?
What about Osimhen that moved to Wolfsburg, got sick and suffered several injuries? Did u care about his mental health when you boldly proclaimed that he won't make even the youth team of a championship club?

Your talking absolute balderdash and codswallop.

Was any of them diagnosed with a mental health disorder and put into rehabilitation.

Your BLATANT bias and prejudice makes you blind to common sense.

kingphilip:
Iwobi's own was player's player of the season and not that of the fans.

That's even more impressive.

To be picked by your informed fellow professionals that's epic.

TheSuperNerd:
Wtf is this rubbish?

You literally don't care about mental health when talk down on K.Nwakali and when you always tagged Isaac Success a Waste man.

When you rubbished Osimhen all those years despite his struggling with injuries, what did you care about mental health? You did same with Sadiq Umar, Chukwueze and now you are trying to take a jibe at Akinsanmiro's talents.

Look at you shamelessly forming moral grounds now because it concerns one of your innit boys.

Mister man, BascoVanVeli is Right!!! Hybe is a WASTEMAN!!! CEO of LAWMA infact. Deal with it!!!

Welcome to being served what you dish out.

You could not contain yourself to create another false narrative , you just tell BLATANT LIES.

Egoistical narcissistic super delusional attention seeking toddler.

Jordan Ibe was diagnosed with a mental health disorder and even went into rehabilitation. It's not a subject for mockery.

Hanibal:
Alright...so In conclusion a club's player of the year award is nothing but a popularity contest, which is dependent solely on the mood of the fans and wether or not they like a player's face at that time or not, and it has nothing, absolutely nothing to do with the quality of the winner right?

Thats what you are saying.

I've said repeatedly I really don't know.

Performance is not the overiding factor but w one of them.

In terms of performance Harvey Barnes almost has three times the goals that KC has scored with 13, and he is a winger.

Maddison has 10 goals that's double KC goals and he is a Midfielder.

You are trying to explain what cannot be explained.

viciati:
Na laugh i just dey laugh since...oga just dey dodge answer come dey use grammer defend rubbish.Please leave our self acclaimed English football specialist in his self delusion.

Explain Iwobi winning at Everton after being slated by the fans quite often.

Now he is the fans favourite.

Hanibal:
No I cannot.... Let's go back to the begining.
First I wrongly assumed that winning the player of the year award means you're the best in your club.....
You corrected me by pointing out it is just a measure of "popularity" not performance .... I agreed....
I asked again how someone as poor a player as Iheanacho got so popular with the fans and coaches, you said it was "emotive preference and prejudice "...... I agreed.
Now the question is ... How can we logically explain Iheanacho winning a sentimental and prejudiced contest at Leicester city with a super legend like Jamie Vardy still actively playing?

You've been my teacher since the begining... Don't push me away at this juncture.

Very simple Vardy had been the club favourite for a decade now he is 37 and expired, they need a new talisman, and unfortunately they don't have many.

If I am to use a Machiavellian approach, "When the desirable is not available the available becomes desirable"

Statistically Harvey wide player has 13 goals, Maddison has 10. But the fans chose KC who has 5 and Daka who has 4 all in the EPL.

Some view Maddison as a traitor for expressing a desire to leave.

Otherwise I really don't know .

Fans are a funny lot one day they love you another they hate you, very fickle.

BascoVanVeli:
Knock it off ur boy is a WASTE MAN/GARBAGE MAN

U over here sounding like a straight joker. U talk about struggling players all the time without caring what their mental situation is but now because u claim to know Hybe I am supposed to care U sound real crazy to me right now.

There is one big difference he was DIAGNOSED not just assumption.

Everybody will have challenges to mental health that can be overcome personally.

Others will require intervention.

Hanibal:
Oh... Okay now I understand.
In other words.... Iheanacho won the sentiment and emotive preference game of Leicester city fans and coaches over someone like Jamie Vardy?

What do you think it is then .

I really can't read the minds of Liecester City fans.

But it seems you can

superbloke:
Ah ahn! But Iwobi's own is "fabulous". O ga o.

That's my opinion you are entitled to yours.
