So Osimhen U17 golden Ball pass Ighalo AFCON golden Ball, right?

forgiveness:
He played as a wing back during the world cup.

forgiveness:
Do you mean u17 golden Ball weight more than Afcon golden Ball?

forgiveness:
Which position did he play in 2013? Because that was the first time he was nominated.

Edopesin:
No be only Winger

TheLoneCitizen:
Chidera Ejuke and Terem Moffi will not be sold this season by their respective clubs this window except and undeniable offer comes.

Olulong, you seem to like Ebuehi a lot, you've been following his progress.

forgiveness:
Nobi lie na. Nigeria players will want a transfer to an average EPL team not to talk of Manchester United or big clubs therein.

forgiveness:
Which is better?

Ighalo or Osimhen?

Danielnino00:
Great news!!
Now, we pray he stays fit!

forgiveness:
Is Ebuehi move a failure?

daveP:
At 23, Osaze was at Lille

Does that now mean Onyekuru is better? The Monaco he's yet to score for or hold a place down in yet. This is just like saying cos Solanke is in Liverpool then he is better.


Modified

European champions Chelsea looked at the relegation guy and got him on board


Pls Show me where that has happened for Onyekuru since Monaco?


.i hate this cos it is more an in house drag now...

forgiveness:
That's a good one. Coming back to the Eredivisie doesn't tantamount to failure as Chrisooblog wants me to believe.

Afterall, he praised the move. Bhuhahahaha!

elyte89:
U guys re not giving us tangible reason y ighalo's. And also moses coming back to d national team is ill advised cos I don't get

Even d best national teams we look up to..dey re still parading deir "old legs", d likes of dani alves,thiago,Buffon,muller and co..dis guys are still very much active for dier national teams

I am sure if dis guys were Nigerians, we would av been calling for d retirement against dis mediocres we parade as players..our players wey go Neva win laurels or play @ a big stage when it matters..shio

forgiveness:
Onyekuru is good but please don't compare him with Zaha or Vicmo.

Never heard it

Available options**
1) Osimhen - good quality yet to be proven at Higher quality Seria A.
2) Iheanacho - EPL flop
3) Simon - Good
4) Chukwueze - 3 goals in 37 games, a lot of development work required.
5) Kalu - Ok but not outstanding
6) Onyekuru - Good but unproven at Higher level
7) Musa - EPL flop
Onauchu - unable to justify selection from games played in the SE
9) Dessers. - untested at a higher level
10) Umar - very low quality league ( village champion)
11) Nwaekeme - untested at a higher level
12) Ejuke - untested at a higher level
13) Iwobi - midfielder
14) Kayode - Good potential but untested in SE opportunity not given.


None of these players has attained the level of Ighalo and none of them is better than him. The only player able to contend is Osimhen.

We talk about players in form, what will be Osimhen form in the much more quality and competitive Seria A.

He will not be the focal point of the team and with a ball played into space and or over the top of defenders for him to run onto as the main strategy will simply not work in Seria A. This league is well know for defending and closing spaces.

[/b]This is a test that Ighalo has already passed with flying colours, PROVEN, TESTED and CONFIRMED[/b].

If we bring Vic Moses into the equation none of them has played at his level and or exceeded his ability.

komekn:
None of our players are comparable to these players so why make the comparison.

Until these young pretenders can get to the levels of performance and attainment if Ighalo and VM there is no competition.

komekn:
Potential is talent yet to be realised.

When their outstanding talent produces fruit we shall call them not before and by speculation.

Progression in football is the HERE and NOW players who are perfoming NOW.

komekn:
Agreed but there is one small issue you opted not to mention, WE ARE NOT ENGLAND.

With multiple options in the forward positions.

Apart from Victor Osimhen yet to be proven in a more competitive league. Who else is there.

Ighalo is tried and tested and PROVEN in the EPL.

Subzero047:
From : Victor Moses singlehandedly won us the Afcon
To : He was a major part we won the Afcon
To : I think Victor Moses was the reason we won the Afcon

forgiveness:
But Moses won Samsung fair player of the whole tournament. I don't think Mikel was suppose to win the player of the tournament.

Anyway, from my own perspective, I think Victor Moses was the reason we won that cup. That's my own opinion.

elyte89:
FYI...Vic moses is d only Nigerian player with d highest assist dis season (and he started half season with inter)January

And for ur first paragraph we av played 2competitions Sir

forgiveness:
Go and watch all the matches. Why do you think he won the Samsung player of the tournament?

Can you denial the fact he scored 12 goals and assisted 7 times in 32 matches for the super eagles?

elyte89:
I can c dt majority don't want to c d so called old legs again in our team.however my position on dt is dis
1) I av not seen a team been rewarded with trophy or laurels for parading d youngest team in a tournament. D idea of capping d age of those who represent us in a tournament irrespective of d talent doesn't seem ideal to me.
D advantage is dere no doubt (we would av a team dt can last us up to a decade) but @ d moment we re yet to c result.we av been parading d youngest team since 2018 with nothing to show for it.I c no reason y nwakaeme can't be giving anoda chance again in team despite pulling nice stats for his club,he was shut out obviously because of his age. I saw d stat of rohrs untouchable player Samuel kalu.his stat is so poor dis season.more like a Gk stat,yet he keeps getting d invite and making d starting line up all because he's young

2) for d oldies in d aws ,let's go back to d memory lane and look @ d teams dt lifts d previous world cup.the least average age is beyond 26years.this shows dt experience counts if well blended with d young talent.I will support forgiveness on dis. Beside dt,musa has shown us dis in d past world cup,when chips were down ,he lifted d team with his goal..Iceland and also against argues(2014;though we lost )

3 if d players (v.Moses and ighalo re WILLING to come back) if I am rohr..I won't hesitate to bring dem in.dis bring healthy competition in d team
U can't imaging a Vic mo and ighalo on d bench wyle our strikers(osimhen/nacho and chukwueze) re on d pitch playing.they would naturally give deir all on d pitch cos dey knw dt once dey mess up..d next match ,dey won't smell d starting line up in d next match..dis is d kind of competition dt has been missing in eagles for a very long time..d last time I can remember such competition existed in super eagles was in 2005/2006,dt team was star studded but were very unlucky coupled with indiscipline and bad management. That team could av done wonders if dey had qualified for d 2006 world cup edition. So.in a nutshell.. I believe if a player is still playing actively at d top level and he's still willing to play for us..d door is wide open irrespective of ur AGE.MY OPINION

Danielnino00:
You have abused the word "singlehandedly" too much...

forgiveness:
Haba! As if you don't know why Zaha is yet to move. You should know better.

elyte89:
Anyone saying a player plying his trade @ intermilan or Manchester united(both elite clubs) is not good/not useful for super eagles present team is only been insincere to himself ..EOD

Edopesin:
At the bolded
The best coach in the world starts Aguero over Jesus and Brazil starts Jesus ahead of Firmino

No Coach will pick a potent and proven goal scorer over an unproven goalscorer because of his work rate

is it the midfield of Iwobi, Etebo that helped Ighalo get his goals?

Subzero047:
Have you seen Joelinton stats, is Aguero better than him?
