Nobody wrote Aribo off.
He is not a midfielder.
He reads games very poorly, and can be completely lost in games, just running around and sweating.
The midfield is about control. You cannot control a game, if your reading of the game is poor.

I have found Aribo not knowing what to do with the ball in midfield on countless occasions, just clueless, He is the back passer in chief.

Aribo is a fine dribbler and has eyes for the final pass. Aribo displays his excellency whenever he is close to the 18 yard box, where he can either dribble a player or two to get a shooting chance, or make the final pass that can result to a goal scoring opportunity.

I think is family was a big reason why he retired at the time. There were rumours at the time that his partner wasn't exactly pleased with the Kuwait move and didn't intend to move with him.

Marjoribanks:
The coach is playing a disorganize 352. The formation is stupid and shows that he does not understand his own players. Pathetic!

Cecco90:
On the contrary, you are the one that's a joke. You want them to call players that will later go and play in Malta, Lithuania, and Hungary when we have AFCON in 4 months time?. Players that couldn't qualify for ordinary CHAN? The way we reason in this country is definitely different from other normal people.

“I Will Be Free From FIFA Ban In 2024 - Siasia

"I thought I was going to be free by this year (2023), and I was so excited. But I had to look through the document that FIFA served me, and I found out that it was going to be next year. By next year, in August 2024, I will be free from the FIFA ban, and hopefully I will be back to football.

"Irrespective of what happened, I have learned my lessons, but FIFA, who initially gave me a life ban in football, could not prove anything wrong with what they claimed I did. But they had to reduce it to a five-year ban, and it will expire next year. I thank God for that.

“It has been terrible to be away from football for five years, but I am preparing myself to come back to football, so I have to prepare myself so I can start ‘running’ once I resume by next year.”

You are missing the point which is that you can't make it if you ain't talented. Those other variables you mentioned are secondary and they can't make you a good footballer if you don't have the talent already. Children of most footballers don't have talents but they are disciplined, taught how to work hard and be determined, but yet they fail at th end.

Most footballers from South America and Europe make it with only innate talent without discipline, hard enough work and determination, even though they don't last long on the scene.


Do you know as disciplined, hard working and determined as Justin Kluivert can be, he doesn't have what it takes to reach the height Baloteli attained

Simp at it again 😂
He sent 350k to a random girl he doesn’t even know just to get her attention😆.. Later he’ll come out to cry that she’s a gold digger 😂

There is a reason some animals are cold blooded and some are warm blooded while some are amphibians.

Take a fish out of its natural habitat and you get a dead fish. Players need to look before they leap. I know a lot of folks will say players need to adapt to all situations and all teams but forget something called SWOT analysis
Onuachu loves long balls in a club that existed and has its own style of play. Question is how does he fit into the puzzle? No club is goin to abandon its philosophy just to accommodate a player's singular strength. We see this in the case of Iheanacho who likes playing with 2 upfront as a second striker which meant certain individuals cannot play when this happens and club's philosophy is threatened.

Tell our boys to look before they leap. Some challenges aren't worth taking. If it's not working, get out and try elsewhere.

AndSunGorilla:
Unrelated, just read on BBC that Liverpool rejected the Saudi largesse for Salah. Paul Merson former Arsenal player is like Salah should take the money, that money means his grandchildren won't even have to work. He was like, Salah is 31, how many more years does he have left to play and he could have 50 more years to live. At the end, the Benjis are essential o. Me sef don dey watch Saudi league now.

ChrisKels:
Chiemela Benjamin Fredrick to Brentford?

I'm skeptical about this move because I don't want him being sent out on loan or warming the bench. He is too good for that.

mostob:
What do you think is the right decision for him? Stay with Maresca and continue developing or move to another club where Dem go turn am to ABF midfielder. How I wish he had had the chance to work with his current coach earlier.

komekn:
You are trying to turn white to black and red to blue, you are beyond redemption with your misinformation and disinformation.

This is humility in your definition, on arrival at Huesca Nwakali was shipped out on loan (too poor quality) . Yo add insult to injury,they couldn't wait to get rid of him tried to end his contract prematurely illegally. In addition he was the second to lowest paid player at Huesca.

He then goes to an even lower club than Huesca, which was Ponferradina a near bankrupt club. He is so good in the Segunda division nobody wanted him. But according to many here he was the best Midfielder in the Segunda division.

He now goes to an even poorer club for less wages in the name of Chavez FC .This is a club Enyimba will flog comprehensively.

And in your definition this is humility.

You can't change the facts to suit your FALSE narrative.

Nwakali has been poor quality and that's why he is surrounded by very poorly paid and low quality players like himself in Chavez FC

Nwamazi8:
Your own take on this sub-forum na to dey disparage the opinion of others, not that your contributions are any more intelligent. If Ndidi, Onyeka and Aribo are injured (which is a high possibility given their injury records)

Which other midfield options do we have other than the ones I listed? You have the floor to name your perfect list.

TheGoodJoe:
The bolded is simply not true but a lie you tried to sell. As soon as Osimhen got the chance, he flourished.

The fact is that there is more competitions for Africans in creative midfield roles. That is why Mikel with all his talent never played a creative midfield role for Chelsea. He only played a a defensive midfielder.

Even Yaya Toure found it difficult to play a creative role for Barcelona despite being one of the best talents in the history of the game.

Iheanacho made his breakthrough as a creative attack midfielder and was converted to a hitman because of the same issue.

Iwobi broke out as a creative midfielder and found it difficult to cement himself in that role.

That is why it is difficult for Nwakali to just breakthrough and why we have little Nigerians in such roles.

Finally, Osimhen was always good it was just your blatant hate that made you tag him not good because he was not getting an opportunity.

Finito.

nwakali go collect midfield from Amrabat? 😳

Nawaooooooooo

Goodmorning my Neighbours

Meliforme:
We have been missing Ejuke.
He understands the game more than all our wingers.

I said it and i repeat, Chidera Ejuke is more intelligent than any winger that has featured for the Super eagles in the past four years at least.

Samuel Chukwueze has been improving in leaps, especially in his understanding of the wing play dynamics.

To explain Ejuke's intelligence – in the game against Tunisia, Ejuke tried to use his speed, movement and dribbling to affect the defensive shape of the Tunisians, he was looking for an opening and tried to see if he could drag some players with him, but the Tunisians aside crowding their box, were also defending in zones.

Abeg strikers don too much. Haba. It don do abeg. Na curse if we get one close to world class CM Or AM??. We fit dash Armenia that one too.

Toki toki bird

Then he comes to afcon and can’t implement what he learned and factory reset back to jam body football 😂

ChrisKels:
When we were Iamenting that Ndidi was limited, you all thought it was enough to just rake up stats on tackles and interceptions.

StUriah:
Same here. I studied Philosophy too at OAU.

Today, I manage Medical facilities because of my managerial skills and experiences. Forget about job satisfaction when you are not lecturing or self employed. Philosophy as a discipline can only empowered you thinking faculty but in Nigeria, it doesn't have market value outside the citadel of learning. Best bet is to go for Managerial Psychology, MBA, Forensic and Criminology, Cinematography, Information Management courses at the Masters level if you want to make a difference in your choice of careers.

Women go to the gym nowadays to sexualize themselves, yet they still blame any man that takes a glance at them for being a pervert or creep, record him or take his pic and post on social media so the world can mock him.

Long Thread on Gift Orban:

https://twitter.com/invertthewing/status/1690150118110978048?s=46[/quote]I suspected as much looking at his clips. He is more of wayne Rooney then haaland.
He can cross and bend the ball easily.
He should play as a wing forward for nigeria.
He isca forward who can play along the frobt three. The writer has a point
