Because he has NEVER been good enough that's why he is getting paid peanuts and is in bankrupt team at the relegation zone of an already poor Segunda division, surrounded by poor players like himself.

You know transfer interest and speculation are indicators of how good you are.

Since September 2019 Nwakali has been in the Segunda division. His club loaned him out immediately on arrival, then took him back and tried to sell him nobody wanted him , they tried to end his contract prematurely illegally they were desperate to get rid of him. He is at Ponferradina FC it's a dead club.

Four seasons in the poor Segunda division and not one bid for him in or outside of the league is that not enough to tell you he is not good enough. No amount of hyping and misinformation with statistics can hide this fact.

Bendel insurance will flog Ponferradina FC silly they are poor quality club in a poor league.

Imagine the nonsensical suggestion you are making because he is the best Midfielder at long ball distribution in Nigeria. It's long ball that is the only requirement needed for a Midfielder.

I say again every Nigerian Midfieldll player above 18 in any EPL academy is better than him, including 15 year old Nwaneri at Arsenal.

Every Nigerian Midfield player in the Championship is better than him. I would add the same for English league one. Every Nigerian Midfielder in Sheffield Wednesday is better than him.

You said name names there are too many to name that's the simple fact.

I'm just curious. How many Nigerian players both in championship, academies and League one have you watched?

Arsenal's first leg of the Europa League round of 16 will place on Thursday, March 9th, which will see us travel to our opponents. The home fixture will be on Thursday, March 16. #afc #arsenalfanaticsnews

Arsenal U18s came from behind yesterday to defeat Cambridge. They're now into FA semi final.

Ethan and Lucky Dube were on the score sheet.

Kudos to Jack 'sheer Willpower' Wilshere

The Siwes that Tavares has gone on has been fruitful. I can't even imagine him the same way he was in the Arsenal shirt with what I'm currently seeing. One key issue was his weakness in fluid passes with his teammates. That's all in the past now, i can assure you. But can he bench the other 2? Defensively, yeah. He can be another Holding. Locking up defence. Offensively, guy is ever bold than before



We have a lot of players on Siwes doing well right now that by next season, squad rotation may be such a norm. That's if arteta is such a fan of rotation anyways

Tavarez is playing as a LWB currently. playing as a LB and LWB has distinct requirements.
Tavarez is athletic, has a great physique, but the technicality is what is missing

johnjunior39:
Zinchenko should kuku turn to a midfielder, He will excel more in that Xhaka role and let Tierney come back to the first 11, that bro is better defiensively for me

I still think Zinchenko should stay as a LB. He understands that role better than anyone. Shifting him to Midfield permanently might not be effective.

Spy360:
Oya educate me na. What's the meaning?

If seriously you don't know the difference, it is a waste of time debating with you.

iamoyindamola:
Tierney should go
Tavarez can play as a winger too

Bro... Tavarez is not reliable as a LB. Tierney is far better. If we're letting Tierney go, I'll prefer we sign another LB as backup to Zinchenko.

TheGoodJoe:

Na wa for you.

Rory Delap was key to Stoke City in the pass because of his insane throw-in ability.

On the home front, we have Daniel Itodo too.

Spy360:
Lol

You don't know how to interpret stats.

That's why I don't like bringing it up.

Using subtle means to run away from the argument won't erase the fact the big L you don swallow.
You don't even know the difference between game per goal and minute per goal, yet you say I don't know how to interpret stats.

Tavarez is the highest scoring defender in Europe's top 5 leagues this season.

He is also the first Marseille defender to score 6 goals in a single season for 20 years now.

The problem is, how will he fit into this current squad. I think it will make sense to sell him. 30M at least

Spy360:
The goal per minutes clearly reflect the situation on ground better than goals per game. That was what I was explaining to Jodera why stats can be deceptive.

Like I said, we all know that 12 or 14 out of the 21 games Nketiah played were mostly cameos of 3-5mins. In fact Nketiah has less than half of the minutes Jesus has despite playing 5 more games.

Now that you have clearly seen that Nketiah is better, what do you make if it?

1. He sees more chances in the box having a higher misses per mins played

2. He is more wasteful having a higher xG per min played

3. He has no assist

Yet he is also higher in goals per min

The meaning is that he is more focused on goals

If Jesus does the same

1. He will see similar no of chances like Nketiah

2. But he will have more goals per min than Nketiah having a lower xG per min





2.

Firstly, you said goal per game in your question.
Secondly, all you wrote here has little to no bearing on the argument.
Stats have proven you wrong already.
The total shots taken, missed chances, XG, number of touches in the box and other metrics are similar for both.. infact, Jesus has the better numbers.
Staying in the box has no correlation with whatever agenda you're pushing bro.
Have a nice day

Odogwujayy:
Later watched it on YouTube thru CAF TV....

Ok boss...later watched the second half on YouTube via eaglestracker.

maidaboi:
Nigeria Sabi waste time too lol

Yea
Can't believe we used more than a minute to make double substitutions.

Nigeria defeated the host by a lone goal.
Despite the poor game and performance, this victory still sweet my belle

This is not about the team though but beating the North Africans on their soil, and in front of their fans always give me this soothing feeling.

I've been trying to upload the rumored jerseys for next season all to no avail. May be a problem from my side here probably.

Akinbahm:
I was force to interfere when uncle spy want to start turning roundabouts... staying inside the box vs not staying inside the box changed to Jesus vs Nketia courtesy of SPY.

Baba said Balogun prediction came through but in another dimension... I don laugh tire.

Any link to watch the U-20 game?

Spy360:
E be like say you want to learn how to turn amala. Just meet Jodera (or me ) for tutorial.

12 of those games he played less than 5mins

Goal per minute is different from Goal per game bro.
This is a basic fact for every football fans.
Back to your question, based on goal per minute, Nketiah is better.

Spy360:
You are completely wrong. No need to argue. This one is perfectly measurable.

Jesus played 14 games, scored 5 goals and 6 assists.
Nketiah played 21 games and scored 4.
Do your maths bro.

Deltamani:
Mama Onome Ebi just posted this photo on her Instagram story,

Hopefully before she gets the number of Caps Glory Ogbonna has she would be at least 80% of the level we’re expecting from her… Imuran really need to work on Marking(1v1), she rushes too much one of the reason the attackers get past her easily. HE need to keep cool and do her job.. Again with what have seen Glory Ogbonna should leave that slot for Someone else to fight for as she isn’t a Superfalcon material..

You're right boss.
The traits I admire so much about Imuran are her long passes and crossings. They may still be average but I hope she sharpen them up.

TheGoodJoe:
Unfortunately, no man can curse and your opinion here is fruitless. But my earnest prayer is for God to bless all of us here and give us reasons to celebrate.

Now you are done wishing people bad, make your brilliant contribution on how to fix our midfield issues. Hence you have a burning passion and hunger more than all of us on this thread.

Thegoodjoe.... I admire your arguments and conversations not just because you use facts but also due to your civility.
However, you should cultivate the habit of ignoring some posts here.

Spy360:
Every notion has a defect that is why there is an argument. However it does not matter how many people opposes a view, what's rational is rational, what's logical is logical, what's sensible is sensible.

I agree. But when you failed to commit to your notion, your argument is no longer rational.

Spy360:
Good.

Since Nketiah has a higher goal/game average which of this is correct?

A. He is more clinical than Jesus.
B. He stays more in the box than Jesus.

This is a simple question.

You see why I said your questions are traps. Jesus has the better goal per game this season.
So much for not staying in the box.

Jodera:
Our own na so so carabao cup we dey do am.

Why we no fit do am for league or UCL

It is because nothing is at stake in EPL.

WhoDeyHause:
You that is first in la ligo. Why are you in ulokpa league about to be knocked out by manyoo on thursday? As if you can even beat livarpool.

Small clubs dey wire you better beating every weekend despite your 1billion transfer signings but na Barca be your problem. SMH

Akinbahm:
Sp.y is very good at twisting words and you’d lost completely during the argument.

We were all here when he said Balogun would break to into the squad before last year... baba change subject matter.

Now Jesus is losing chances because he’s not inside box to bury those chances (composure)... Nketia he used as a case study who’s more compose inside box is losing chances and baba is here twisting issues again.

What I could depict from their argument is Ego is strongly online.

Nothing wrong in admitting wrong during argument though. The subject of the matter was if staying in the box increase players' chance of scoring. He is now turning it to Jesus vs Nketiah argument.
As for that Balogun talk, I had to ignore.

Anyway... so long a time here Chief

Spy360:
If they are traps, it simply means there are information you are hiding because they will expose your argument.

Here is the answer your question. Nketiah is not as clinical for a main striker in a top club as Arsenal. He is not as clinical as the likes of Jesus, Haaland, Rashford, Kane etc. He will get better say by next season but he is not there yet. Ask me why he has a higher goals average than Jesus despite being less clinical.


Meanwhile, I have answered all your questions.

Go and answer my questions.

The bolded is exactly what you should have said since. Clinicality is why our strikers are not scoring, not because of stay in the box nonsense.

Spy360:
I love you guys.

See as only me dey face all of you. I answer all your questions but none of you can answer my questions.

You guys need to engage more people for assistance.

Roland17 and Obaigwe can you help them? Jencejyde what about you?

In an argument, if more than three people are opposing you, something must be wrong with your notion. Your notion may not totally be wrong but there is a defect.

Roland17:
He has gotten the UEFA License B, he got it last year. He is now gunning for License A.

something tells me he may join the coaching staff at arsenal. An assistant to Jack probably.

Spy360:
Let me make it simple for you. Just answer yes or no, don't explain. Straight answers and you will see where the argument is coming from.

1. Is Nketiah more clinical than Gabriel Jesus having a higher goals average?

2. If Gabriel Jesus changes his pattern of dropping deep, will he score more goals?

3. Does Gabriel Jesus waste more chances he should score compared to Nketiah?

4. Is Nketiah more productive than Gabriel Jesus?

Note: Don't explain, trying to explain will complicate the point. Just say yes or no.

Spy, your questions here are traps. You have totally deviated from the main argument.
You claimed Jesus doesn't score much because he doesn't stay inside the box. By the time he arrive in the box, he'll lack composure to finish chances. You now referenced Nketiah being a poacher who usually stays inside the box, probably why he do score more than Jesus.

Jodera and I disagreed that Jesus is not scoring much because he is not clinical enough. Remember we brought stats.

Now, Nketiah has been missing chances lately and has not scored in the last 4 games. Jodera asked you why Nketiah is not scoring since he do stay inside the box and so should finish chances comfortably because HE HAS COMPOSURE.

This matter no hard reach like this na
