NFF approached him but it was too late. He had already committed to Switzerland. There was a window where we could have approached him earlier.

Loogan:
Nawa for NNF, this akanji guy should have been called up a while ago when he broke into Basel first team at 19. Amazing potential, BVB no just dey buy anybody, I don't understand how this guy wasent called up. worst part is he showed more desire to playing for us than these German&english borns we are chasing, the boy has an awesome match against man united in the UCL. He's already been officially capped by Sweden in an official match he's out of our grasp.

junnyjake:
Willian is more productive.

MetalJigsaw:
Nice points. And the fact that he has to sacrifice his favourite roles has deprived him of individual awards and adequate involvement in goal scoring at his club. Thus, depriving him of some respects as a qualitative attacker . Its a thing of concern for me.

MetalJigsaw:
I fear for this guy' s attacking ability- whether it will grow, stagnate or reduce all because if this constant wing back role. Someone that is considered as our biggest gun in attack.

junnyjake:
So, Zappacosta replaced Moses, gave an assist and would have scored if not for the post

safarigirl:
Puel lost again sha....him eye go soon clear, since work rates score goals

safarigirl:
his bias stinks to high heavens, you would be hard pressed to find one good comment on our Nigerian bred players from him.

Na wetin make I no dey read anything wey e post again, make I no dey he unnecessary vex

Your write up is supposed to be in reference to my post, which is essentially about KC in Leicester city.

However, you moved away from the main subject to carry out a number of negatively prejudiced presumptions that have no substance what so ever. So let’s break it down as if we are in the classroom and a misguided student is leading the classroom astray.

Consider the absurdity of the presumption you have make that I holistically specially undermine Nigerian players and continuously do so is implied in your rhetoric. First counter question, when and where please state. I have been advocating, advising and enabling Black African origin including Nigerian players in English football for donkey years. So that is total balderdash.

But I will stick with recent times, I have been advocating for into the English EPL and or as quality players that can add quality to the SE, such as Mba, Etebo and highlighted as well advocated the qualities of Ighalo, Enyeama, Ighalo, Obagoal, Joel, Ambrose, Aluko, Mikel and many others are these players from India and China . So that makes your unfounded prejudiced proposition nonsensical.

What is apparent is that your write is not about the main subject of my post but your negative misguided impression about me. I have definitely and continuously highlighted Nigerian origin players that in my opinion can still cut it and could bring additional quality to the SE. I am involved with English football primarily, so I have in depth specialist knowledge. If that is your definition of bias its wrong.

There are two main groups with regard to KC on this thread, the emotive, sentimental he can do no wrong group and the constructive realist group that says he needs to up his game. Excellence is achieved from hard work, realism and constructive criticism.

You seem not to understand basic subtlety and figurative speech, “you are only as good as your last game”. This implies that each game either pulls you up or pulls you down and football has always been a short-term profession, as a result time is something you do not get a lot of.

Then the next thing you did was to comment on things you really have no idea about but rely on hearsay and what you read in the papers. KC was considered by a number of different clubs true, but Leicester was the only club willing to accept the terms City offered irrespective of how unreasonable they were. You may call it desperation or whatever on the part of Leicester and also on the part of KC, who knew he wasn’t going to get game time in City.

You talked about one of the biggest scams and financial flops in English football Andy Carroll. The manager of Liverpool Kenny Dalglish had an interest in the agency that negotiated the deal Andy in turn sacked his legal agent two weeks before the transfer was made.

In football actions speak louder than words, I have known too many managers to learn this very valuable lesson. Marco is simply speaking up a player he has no time for and does not rate and needs to still make some money on. And you misguidedly use that as a basis to say success is quality. Indeed, he may be but with his attitude and approach I would say the EPL is not for him.

Finally, in your comparison to players playing in the lower tier, I will say it’s better to be an outstanding player in a lower tier of the league than a dead one that doesn’t even warm the bench in a higher tier of the league. Meanwhile the gap is not as huge as you may think Bristol city have just proved that in the FA cup after beating Man U.

Finally, finally i talked about the rise of Demerai Grey from bench warmer to first man on the team sheet and that was from initial training not games. You cannot accuse both Managers of bias that's simply not being true. I will not bother talking about Danny Ings who I see almost day to day and the others you mention.

You need to move away from the emotive to the objective, upgrade and download increase your knowledge base learn from those who are informed on this forum. And don't just be a fan that thinks the loudest shout wins the game.

safarigirl:
the Nigerian must always be blamed because he's the easy target. The best part is, his country men will always support any attack on him

komekn:
Before you lower the tone of this discourse, let me bring to your notice some of the principles that underpin the nature of football.

Firstly, you are only as good as your last game what gives you indisputable quality is continous consistent performances over time.

Pep eventually benched and let KC go because he was simply not as good as Aguero, Gabriel, Sana and Raheem only the best will do for Pep no second best.

He Pep has been vindicated.

When Demarai Grey was forgotten and left out by Shakespeare he knuckled down and kept working. New manager and new opportunity and in his first game he was overwhelmingly outstanding and very rightly got the MOTM. He is now one of the first names on the team sheet.

KC has had enough opportunities but he has failed to step up. When a club like Leicester pay near £30 million pounds for a striker to lead the attack. You are not a youth player you must hit the ground running NO EXCUSES.

As it is you are making excuses for the inexcusable, I know you are very emotive but objectivity is required here not just blind support.

MetalJigsaw:
He also plays like Messi,RONALDO, Hazard and even Ronaldinho combined. He's better than all our current attackers.We must take him to the World Cup. He's a future BallonD'or winner.

You didn't mention all his assets, bro.

TheGoodJoe:
Thank you so much. At that time, my mind was confused.

ChrisKels:
A Pointer ; please what's Deportivo B's position in the Segunda B? Did u know that Uzoho, with his heroics between the sticks, is on the verge of promoting his team to the Segunda division where Ondoa is a bench warmer?

Dude didn't get demoted because he was poor, only the coach knows why he sent him back to the B team. He is definitely better than Pantillimon and will be taking Panti's place in the first team to contend properly for the first choice when Panti's loan expires by the end of the season.

Dude is also about the best goalie in the division he currently plies his trade. 7cleansheets in 10 appearances no be beans. Even Enyeama who just came back, conceded in a division lower than this Segunda B. Not comparing the two but if Enyeama failed to turn up, Uzoho gets my nod.

elunico:
Putting pressure on the team bi ti bawo? I'm lost. Does the coaching crew come here to validate their decisions as regard the team? Or does everyone on this thread have direct link to the NFF and the coaches?

kennysville:
Someone finally telling it like it is...., what brand of Cognac do u like having? 3 billion gbosas for you

blueto:
This was my point. With the very lethal counter I saw the 3-5-2 formation produced against Argentina, and also with the defensive stability it also provided, I think it should be used against teams like Croatia. This is one of the reasons why I want Moses to play as a WB because I don't want him to temper the good combination of Mikel-Iwob-Iheanacho with his selfish-like kind of play.

Icon4s:
Hmm highly informative.

Gernot Rohr needs to see this.

This Croatian team reminds me of the Bosnian team of 2014 WC that had Begovic, Kolasinach, Pjanic, Djeko and co. The team was stars studded in certain areas but was not balanced in strength of personal and we carried the day.

Same goes for the Bulgarian team of 1994: Stoichkov, Leichkov, Balakov, Siranov and all. Yet they chop Cain.

The strength of this Croatian team is in the midfield and so we can exploit the weaker areas.

lol...they and their Brazilian full back will probably crash out at group stage

Full back that cannuh score goal, is that one a full back?

Icon4s:
Our LB is settled.

sontoly:
Its very amazing how no one is mentioning agbo here, dude scored today, i am still amaze how he has never featured in a game for us but rohr keep inviting him, that dude has been a starter from granada even though they were relegated and he is still starting for standard liege.

I know when he breaks into the squad he will be difficult to bench.
