Nifty performance last night. Must be the most improved player in the Premiership this season. However still has to work on his three Achilles Heels. Pace, Movement and that notoriously weak right foot and the sky will not be his limit.

But my post is about the guy behind him in the picture.
Boy, Nigeria needs to get Eberechi Eze into the Eagles before the big boys wake up and snatch that lad from Palace.
Eze is a running, dribbling, shooting replica of Jay-Jay and the golden piece the Eagles badly need in the team.

Watched him closely yet again yesterday and he was the epitome of Steve McQueen. So cool on the ball...his close control, switch play, dribbles and turn of pace just takes your breathe away. It just a pity he plays in a Mickey Mouse club coached by a washed up gaffer if not England will definitely have snapped him up.

The NFF needs to move fast and get this guy at all cost. I mean all costs. If we miss him we will regret the decision for half a soccer generation because I personally cannot see where Nigeria is going to raise another mercurial 10 from particularly since our youth soccer program is moribund.

If you are following the Nigerian strikers playing in Europe, you will know that not only Kelechi is making us happy but almost all of them.

For over 20years of following Nigeria players (strikers) outside in Europe, they’ve not been much in this superb form.

Terem Moffi
Kelechi
Paul Onuachu
Simy
Osimhen
Chukwueze et al

Osimhen never wanted to stay at lille biko

Who will reject going to a better club and better league with 4 million euros per season which is a way more than whats he is being paid at lille

A record transfer fee with a sure starting shirt at him at napoli and you think he wanted to remain at lille?

elunico:
He made a leap too high to land on his tender feet.

Psg Na ekuke

So you are saying osimhen wanted to stay at Lille ?

nairalandankrah:
Victor osimhen was involved in 11 of the 14 goals scored by Nigeria during the Afcon2021q (5®6) hmmm I doubt if Africa are ready for this monster of a striker.
#influential

Icon79:
Thank you, my dear! He’s still the same sluggish player with poor first touch and extremely poor ball control.

I don’t think Osihmen received enough credit for that goal.

Baba dey vex.


“I won’t apologize at all. Why should I? I’ve scored so many goals for Nigeria too. I have sacrificed a lot for the country. Did anyone apologize to me? It was not a deliberate miss. I seriously wanted to score, but it wasn’t to be.”

What kind of defense is that?!?!

komekn:
Let's not get emotively biased with our preferences.

Let's look at matters objectively.

Porto is in a league rated way lower than the EPL, l believe that is without dispute.

Rangers is in a league that is likened to the English league one and at the very best optimistic assessment comparable to the English Championship.

This same Rangers held Porto to a draw at home and flogged them 2-0 in Glasgow. Ranger is no where near Fulham in Quality.

And you assume that Porto has a better quality team than Fulham, I disagree.

By what unit of measurement individual value, pedigree, ratings l seen no basis.

komekn:
I disagree.

If Sanusi was so outstanding he would not be playing in the Portuguese league. He has been in the Portuguese league for near 5 seasons. That's enough to generate interest from other top teams and leagues.

It's possible he is still developing and there is more to come. I have watched him a few times he is fast and athletic. But for me he is technically weak, does not have composure on the ball and has a limited passing range for a good technical team like Fulham.

The current left back Antonee Robinson (Jedi) was the subject of £10 million bid by AC Milan when he was at Wigan in League one, but failed the medical.

I don't think he can displace him or even Tete the Dutch international.

Aina is far more technical than him so considering all the different options in Fulham who is he going to displace.

Have you watched how well Fulham play with the ball on the deck❓

Subzero047:
Aina just developed in the space of 3 months

Maybe it's Torino that has been holding him back

Subzero047:
Vardy is 33 and he's still running like he's 23

Wow

Bolowolowo:
Nwankwo with a penalty goal but his team is getting hammered

maidaboi:
Sadiq Umar after 14 games for Almeria
4 goals
2 assist
4 penalties won
That's 10 goals contribution in 14 games

TheGoodJoe:
Superb post but very heart breaking when you see how intelligent Mikel was. It was like he had eyes at the back of his head and knew what was happening at every inch of the field.

Worst part was that Mourinho did not need Mikel. Alex Ferguson had just transformed one of the bright young talents in football, CR7 into a World Class talent and his touch on Mikel would have been glamourous.

Mourinho did not want Ferguson getting another weapon of Football destruction and fought to scatter that Union.

The fact Ferguson flew to Norway repeatedly showed how much he envisioned a superstar in Mikel.

This was a painful trip down memory lane.

Classic video.


While watching this match, I exclaimed, "Maradona, have you seen how to play the 10 role."

Maradona was in the stadium that day to handover the touch to Messi but Mikel shone like a million stars that night.
