Aribo is injured for our friendlies that means we have to see a midfield of Ndidi, Etebo and Iwobi again angry
We have Ramon Azeez. Peharps you have forgotten. He is a fine midfielder

No club will pay that for him, Onyekuru with better rating and numbers was sold to Everton for 12mill
Emmanuel Dennis is overrated. Its his champions league stuff he has going for him. His stats are just average. Nigeria has better wingers than him.

Maybe in organization but definitely not quality wise
The quality of nigerian league players is better than india. Nigerian league players might still make it elsewhere while the Indian league is nonsense. Ahmed musa, Ighalo, Taribo West. Can the indian league produce such players. I mean historically. Sikiru Olatunbosun, Stephen Odey are recent examples. What quality player has emerged from the Indian league before

You are quite right about that..
But Etebo always find his way into the starting eleven one way or another..

Remeber before the world cup,he was one of the players tipped to be dropped from the final list..I think that uncertainty played a part in his move to Stoke city...last last,he ended the tournament as one of our best players...

On a personal note,I will pick Aribo ahead of him in CM..Etebo should really consider moving back to a more offensive role he was known for before he moved to Europe...
Stuff is even Ramon Azeez will bench him as he is a more natural midfielder but he is still useful for the team. The thing is he came into the team when we had little options in midfield. But then ovie ejaria and kelechi nwakali is there and in a few years or maybe now there is Alhassan Yusuf

Its worrisome o. Very.

See defenders in EPL stepping up to contest fks with superb freekick takers and they are likely to score more. Not this usual luck fk thing, but part of their technical abilities...... I dunno who needs to sound this bell o. Cos its not good atall.



I do study our opponents when SE eants to take a setpiece of freekicks, they don't really bother much. Like they know its no good. SE don't know they study our clips too ni?


I hope the new boys change this fading ability. We need it badly.


That Mikel own sef.... (hesitates)
Samuel Kalu, etebo can take free kicks

No be by force to copy oyinbo. The regular Afcon, CAF struggles to pay the price money. For Afcon qualifier, some teams struggle to raise funds to persecute those games. Burdening them with an extra tournament will look unfair
The home based nations cup (chan) and wafu Are enough

These things makes you wonder. Prolly we are better, no?
I think so. Give black youth exposure and they will win anything. The horrible way we run football in Africa puts African youth at a disadvantage but men i think God gave us black sporting and footballing genes

Iwobi is winger for Everton that's where he mostly played and with James coming playing in midfield becomes more difficult
I don tire. Iwobi is better off as an attacking midfielder. Rohr can see this but his coach in Evertoon doesnt see it. I cant repeat myself

But if they keep playing him as a CM , DM nothing will change. He is a pure attacker
Maybe he can br an advanced attacking midfielder like lampard. I may be wrong anyway

Omanambala:
I feel coaches had a hand in the way Etebor's career had stunted. The boy is not a midfielder proper. The attempt to mould him into a midfielder which goes contrary to his natural abilities( left wing forward or a support striker) is largely responsible for his derailment. If the coaches had done right by him you would have created anotber Daniel Amokachi.
Remember those 4 goals in the olympics. I suspect Galatasaray can see this and that is why they are keen on him.

same thing goes for kelechi Iheanacho, his dad allowed him join man city just for d money, not considering his playing chances.

Turkish football isn’t going anywhere anytime soon. None of their top clubs seem ambitious. They will all flop in Europa.

Poor move. He needs to wait it out.
It is better than stoke citt. Tirkish league is still okay and better teams can come for him. He allready has a reputation in Spain and turkey is okay. Next seasin he will go somewhere better

As long as you started your career in NPFL be assured your growth will be stunted and you might never reach your full potentials. NPFL is where they kill talents...ask Ahmed Musa
Ahmed Musa was badly coached. He needed to add good decision making and accurate passes and crosses to his speed and skill.
I look at him and wonder who coached him. He is raw diamond that was not refined

Not so early, brother. At least, he was 25yrs before the CHAN tourney
The age difference could just be 2 to 4 years. I mean the age thing is not that massive anymore.
Right now, he could be 22 - 24 years of age. I mean that is too outrageous (what you mentioned)

I had very high hopes for Rabui Ibrahim, l really expected him to be the next JJay. But he has promised everything but delivered NOTHING.

From Sporting to PSV to Celtic to Kilmarnock nothing until he has gone to a very very low level league. And playing well, why that may be his level.

And when I see him now, we can see he came from the era without MRI.
Rabiu Ibrahim dissapointed me too. Forget the age issue, but i think his problem was he had a bad agent or his talent
was badly managed. I mean he could not do well until he got to Slovakia.
Maybe people surrounding him cheated him or he was not serious or both.
Nigerian football is full of teenage wonder kids who do not make it at senior level and one wonders why.

HIlary Gong played today for Vitesse Arnhem. Now back from injury and fit for the season. Very talented
winger but injuries have stopped him. His case is like Noah Bazee. i hope he is injury free this season
and he plays well.
His coach rates him and he is generally highly rated

I still wonder why our natural AMs are being ruled out of the team despite the scarcity and need for creative players to support our strikers.
Because their club career is very poor or at best mediocre. Its an issue though. Our natural AM's too need to step up their game
and play better for their clubs. BUT in the mean time we can manage them until we get something better.
I hope Nwakali steps up his game as he contributes to the attack with his style of play. If he can cut it in la liga then Rohr will invite him.

Secondly, i think Eberechi Eze is a fool not playing for us. He can have a 7 - 15 year international career in our team as an AM. We lack quality players in that department and he can easily enter the team and if he plays well, he can have a solid international career.
I mean he can break and set all records in international and African football with this young, vibrant emerging team

They are natural amfs. Understandably.
Thats the issue. We dont have players in that position and so we have to lower our standards or beg eberechi eze till kingdom come. Make we manage rabiu like that. Half a bread is better than none. At least if he can play well and create chances then its something
