hatakekakashi:
I thought he has been sold?

They could buy him back the way Chelsea brought lukaku. But he has to show consistency

drDoom3:
Awoniyi is too technical. Exquisite passes. Not as athletic or fast as Osimhen, but his football sense is too much.

If he keeps playing like this for 2 seasons he could be back in Liverpool and this time in their starting 11. Big teams always monitor their loanees to see how they are developing

If he keeps playing like this for 1 or 2 years he could be back at Liverpool as a first team player. Big teams always monitor their loaners and their development. Liverpool are definitely monitoring him

A loan move will do Kelechi a lot of good

Europeans are not infallible. Their judgement of our players is sometimes basically flawed.
Cant they see he is a radmeuter like muller of Bayern. He exploits the space between the striker and the
midfield and either scores or assists in the process.
The arrogance of Europeans leads them to misunderstand our players sometimes.
Iheanacho can be used by Nigeria to embarass the defence of many European nations when we play them.
Rodgers IS FUCKING BLIND.
The fact that they have money and they are the masters of football DOES NOT MAKE THEM ALLWAYS RIGHT
THIS IS SHEER NONSENSE

Truidstar:
A certain division 2 midfield general in Spain did not make the match day aquad.

He has a slight injury - back problem

Ppogbae:
Kunle Adeleke of Abia Warriors has been called up

Npfl players are like uncooked rice. That is raw rice that has not been cooked. they are badly coached. As it is he needs to go abroad and be retrained for a year. Npfl coaches must be held responsible for the type of bad players they produce. Talented but badly coached. I'm sure he does not know basic things like how to read the movement of a mobile striker or intercept a pass even though he might have raw talent. Uncooked rice needs to be cooked. I'm sure he is still raw as he is the product of a failed system.
To solve the problem I think we need to work on training our coaches on modern knowledge of football. Coaching certificate should be made important.

MY THOUGHTS ON AKINKUNMI AMOO

I think Akinkunmi Amoo is a false 9. Players with this skill set are not too many.
Firmino, messi, etc. They are rare.
He will be useful for our national teams but now and in the nearest future.
False 9's roam the entire midfield and attack and create and score goals at the same time.
I don't know if his coaches see it but i think that is why Ibrahimovic is crazy over him.
I hope he fullfills his potentials as false 9's are actually difficult to mark because of their mobility, intelligence, skill, speed etc.
This is what makes Akinkunmi Amoo unique

GET AHEAD NOW

TheSuperNerd:
Isaac Success already added to the matchday squad for Udinese's Serie A game vs Ebuehi's Venezia this Friday (August 27).

He was officially announced as an Udinese player just under 9 hours ago.

Wanted.

Isaac success is lucky. Despite his injury and loss of form he still gets into good teams. There are many players who are not given a chance like him.
He must have divine favor.
I mean many African players are dropped after 5 bad matches and an injury.
He is good but I wonder why they still rate him so highly given the impatience of European football that is very competitive

TheSuperNerd:
Kingsley Michael is a lad I rate and like but I can tell you without mincing words that his invite is undeserved. He hasn't played one game this season and Played so very little last season. This is who Rohr chose over Alhassan and Nwakali. And yes I know what qualities he brings but his inactivity is a problem.

And Bonke is a DM. He is needed to stand in for Ndidi and Onyeka for the Cape Verde game. That call makes sense.

Kingsley micheal,s choice makes no sense. Nwakali and Yusuf have been in good form with rave reviews from the European media while Kingsley has not even been playing regularly.
It's funny for someone who rates by club form.
Kingsley form is suspect

Good

charlesemeka85:
small time now dem go tell una say na him be the most creative player wey 9ja don produce

The 2nd coming of Mikel and jay Jay rolled in one

This is logic.
Ok can u least 5 creative midfielders we have. We don't have much in creative midfield.

Good for u

WHAT'S THE LATEST ON SAMSON TIJANI
Supernerd or anybody
What is the latest on Samson Tijani?
Are the loaning him and where are they loaning him to?
He has not been part of their squad for matches even though he is in the team

TheSuperNerd:
What is this one saying?

Is it not the same Rohr that has refused to address our midfield deficiencies?? Is it not the same Rohr that sees how depleted we are in the middle yet he chooses to act like there is no issue? Well, now we have no choice but to play without the regulars. Had Rohr had the sense to consider cases of "unavailability" to certain regulars in mind, we would not be facing this challenge.

And please read with understanding. It is inevitable that we would parade new Midfield partners alongside Aribo. I am only interested in seeing who Rohr calls up in the middle especially as he refused to address the issue all this while.

Honestly, you are just here defending nonsense. This is on Rohr as well and he must act. We wait.


P.S: And we have uncapped lads that can come in and still perform. Okocha and Oruma are retired okay. So your reference to them is baseless.

Alhassan Yusuf is technically better than Etebo and a more natural midfielder
Kelechi Nwakali is there.
Also, Obinna Nwobodo is there.
In fact, Adewale Oladoye is a sensational defensive midfielder who with time may bench Ndidi as his progress is rapid.
Rohr should try there players. I don't see any problem happening.
The problem with Rohr is that he is not too intelligent
