Not a fan of Sadiq

But that boy will soon shame you

You always speak as if the guy is a failure

So many players started from high leagues but without much game time they had to go a lower league to proove themself and come back to the top league

You see sadiq as a failure but you won’t see Dominic solanke as one who didn’t do well at a top league but now doing well at the championship just as sadiq is doing well at the segunda

You really need to calm down as what you have against Sadiq is now looking too personal

You should have ignore him. He said the same thing about Nacho and Osimehn, both players already served him a humble pie...it's Sadiq's turn soon

Subzero47:
Ashleigh Plumptre scored for Leicester today

The girl is good no doubt but can she handle the African strikers? Especially Zogg... I'm just imagining them defending against Banda

andrewbaba44:
I am not even saying ighalo must be in our team ,I don’t just like when most of you guys downplay the efforts of some players you don’t fancy

Maybe you will tell me the league ighalo was playing for at the last afcon he won the golden boot

On current form from Spanish division 2 sadiq will bench all Nigeria strikers ,but that’s very very impossible

You're the one that didn't understand the post I quoted... nobody is downplaying any player here.
He said Sadiq and Awoniyi will never bench Ighalo on current form. He is taking their club form into context here and that's what I was disputing. This has nothing to do with Aboubakar and AFCON you brought in

andrewbaba44:
And a Saudi league player won the golden boot at the afcon ahead of players from the so called top leagues in Europe

This got nothing to do with ighalo form

The fact that aboubakar won the golden boot doesn't give an assurance that Ighalo would have done the same.
And in reference to the post I quoted, there is no how Sadiq won't bench Ighalo on current form.

do4luv14:
Nobi from dia Aboubakar come from to collect Afcon highest scorer

same excuse...

charlesemeka85:
Alex was massive yesterday,his dribbles,link up play and pressing were top notch

The problem is that many expect iwobi to score goals always but if we observe his style of play he is not type of player. Iwobi is a typical Arsenal groomed player who style is based on simple passes and link up play which makes a core ex Arsenal’s manager wenger type of player

Alex is not that fancy and flamboyant player as many of us mistake him to be but an efficient figure when it comes to high pressing and linking the midfield to the attack. He is not a traditional winger who is expected to take on players, put in crosses or cut in to score but will say is a hybrid winger/AM who loves to drift into the middle always to link up play

Having him in a team most especially when deployed to the flank gives more advantage to the team in terms of creativity and indirectly gifts the team the luxury of playing with 2 attacking midfielders because of his nature of drifting to the middle to create chances

wow..... Everything here is absolutely right.

andrewbaba44:
Wetin consign Wetin you talk and this post ?

Please post where you said Dennis won’t score 15 goals and also the person you told that

you dey mind that one. His prediction of doom is about to come to pass. Watch him start his 'i told you so' campaign all over the thread

Blueelf:
Remember when I said Dennis may not score up to 15 goals this season

Okay, now..let's wait

I can imagine how your prediction of doom must be giving you serious orgasm now... SMH

13large:
Sadiq and awoniyi can never bench ighalo on current form

Which current form? In Saudi league. You sef don join mkpuru mmirites

PDPGuy:
I predict Zambia will make it to the World Cup

I think so too

do4luv14:
Those are Sokotos

At least,it's better than the ones worn by the oyinbos...

13large:
Senegal are parading Quality players at the best leagues in the world but cabu cabu Nigerians will requesting for backwater league players to replace the ones that are in the big 3

name the players

Bayern getting whooped by Bochum.
I gotta say I expected this...They are playing without a natural midfielder.
How some coaches underrate the importance of Midfield is beyond my understanding.

BTW
Zambia defeated SA today in a friendly..3-0
Banda with a brace.

Schemerkhiz:
The Ivorians are battle ready....

Are those trousers or knickers?

TheGoodJoe:

Do not pretend as if you do not get what the bolded meant.

All this while, Lookman was not ready to switch. Probably holding out to see if he had a chance with the English team. As long as he did not produce that request, NFF could not proceed with the switch.

As soon as he sent the request, it was possible to make the switch.

So you can end your campaign that the NFF were the ones delaying the switch. It was Lookman.

FINITO.

Dont let him waste your time boss....that guy needs help

komekn:
He has been playing in the Swedish and Norwegian league for about 10 year's. He then was released i.e. contract not renewed and he goes to relegation bound team in the French League in 2022.

Although he is a DM l find it very strange that in 10 seasons he never scored one goal in the league.

These are not the attributes of a player that one will call outstanding.

Maybe you know something more than the clubs he played for in the lowly Swedish league. Please educate me.

But your Ogbomosos Akpa akpro get all the qualities?

Danielnino00:
Out of the 5 goals he has scored this season, 2 came in the EFL cup... We know a certain moniker that won't hesitate to remind us that scoring in the EFL cup is no big deal because of the quality of the opposition anytime Iheanacho scores

dude na comic relief.

Danielnino00:
I get that people are excited about the inclusion of Lookman into the team, but let's chill...
His career stats isn't really better than most of our wingers that some of us love to criticize for dribbling too much or not scoring enough..
Sure,he can add something new to the team, but anybody trying to make our present wingers look small side by side with Lookman is being delusional....

Thank God I'm not the only one not getting carried away.

andrewbaba44:
With good form he is in for selection

Dude should just go back to Turkey. Onyekuru on his day is a very very good wing forward.

Danielnino00:
The inclusion of Lookman will make it for Onyekuru to return to her team at this time, if we are to use club form as the criteria for selection..

Onyekuru has a lot of talents, but in afraid we may never get to enjoy him much in the national team...

This Lookman better not flop. To me, nothing special in that guy. I will like him to prove me wrong sha ..

komekn:
What else should you do.

The basis of selection is your consistent, outstanding, top level performances in your club and league, nothing else.

No sentiment.

Of course,I knew you would jump in... Lookman is one of your borough boys.
You have still not responded to my last mention or are you ashamed to own up to your falsehood

andrewbaba44:
Onyekuru was lucky to be at the afcon

hmm... because of his club form? I get...but that doesn't mean he should be discarded though.

Danielnino00:
It may be a bit early.. But here's my preferred 25 man squad list for the double header against Ghana..

Goalkeeper..
I don leave that one for who Sabi..

Forwards

Osimhen
Iheanacho
Dennis
Simon
Lookman
Chukwueze
Onuachu
Awoniyi

I like your list bro... But Ejuke,Olayinka and Onyekuru out? Lookman in?
Well... it's your opinion..I respect it

jihday:
stop saying nonsense and see this report from the bbc

Having represented England at Under-19, Under-20 and Under-21 level, Lookman will be looking to play for the West African nation in major tournaments like the Africa Cup of Nations and the Fifa World Cup.

But the process to get him to switch international allegiance began in 2020 when the team secretary Dayo Enebi prepared all the required documents on the NFF's part.

However, the application suffered a long delay due to the player's inability to sort out his Nigerian passport aa well as his failure to provide a written request for a change of association in line with Fifa regulations.

Lookman only completed the paperwork this week which enabled the NFF to file a fast track application for his clearance.

thank you.. Dude was shouting all over here blaming the NFF

komekn:


NFF General Secretary, Dr Mohammed Sanusi, in response said: “We sent in the application on Wednesday night after putting all the necessary documentation together. We are happy to receive the approval today.

I said this earlier, a player commits to a new National team, he sends his written letter of change of allegiance/ nationality CONFIRMATION. It is then the duty of the national football association to submit the application after completing all due diligence to FIFA.

Once again Ovie and Ademola made that commitment over three years ago. But the NFF did NOTHING I wonder why ❓ But have been giving false narratives that the English FA is delaying approval. Utter balderdash.

We then have some highly ignorant and misguided individuals promoting that narrative right here.

FYI Ovie and Ademola went on trials for Nigeria U17 but were rejected by the NFF after high recommendations by the coordinator in the UK .

Eberechi Eze made commitment to Nigeria but they left him in the dark for three year's. He then decided to play U21 for England.

The reality is there is no integrity in the NFF add to all that Godfatherism, Nepotism, Corruption, Favouritism and crass Incompetence.

And all this is not surprising to me AT ALL

I'm not interested in all these nonsense Epistles you put up here. Can you prove it that Lookman made his commitment 3 years ago?

And as for Eze, what was his latest response when he was questioned on his switch of nationality?

You just like disgracing yourself here

kingphilip:
https://dailypost.ng/2022/02/10/nigeria-vs-ghana-nff-reacts-as-fifa-clears-ademola-lookman/

In all of this it is what the NFF General Secretary said that caught my attention.

Does it mean it takes less than 48hours to get players cleared? Or is there something I am not understanding yet?

Cc Komekn.... Come and explain this

JohnBullMySon:
In form Chukwueze is better than Lookman?? Have you even watched lookman before bro? Only Moses Simon club performance is par.

Why will you play Iheanacho Osimhen and Dennis inside one pitch sef. Dennis is not even a full winger, like Ronaldo. Iheancho has to make way for a midfielder if you want to use Dennis. However our wing options should be Simon/Dennis/Lookman/Chukwueze.

Dennis is very talented and explosive but for now Lookman has shown more consistency in the EPL. Ill go for him, but it all depends on their performance in training.

Lookman has shown more consistency? With how many goals and assists?

PurpleHouse:
This is a powerful statement.

But might land him in trouble with his country (and whites in general) as Anthony Joshua.

Nope...the statement was made long ago ...like more than a year ago

Since Arteta's first game in charge of Arsenal in December 2019, the Gunners have received 15 red cards, seven more than any other Premier League side.


BBC sports

Are you blaming Martinelli or you're criticizing Arteta? Let's be clear here please.

50d33q:
Oga ref did nothing wrong
He got what he deserved, stop looking for excuse it's becoming arsenal.
How do you explain Gabriel getting booked in the 60 something minute for time wasting who does that
Roland brought a stat instead of you to look at the bigger picture you are here complaining about ref

The ref was wrong sir... Absolutely wrong.
