6games and counting, yet, no impact
His performance against man city was memorable. In those few minutes he did one winderful hold up play that indirectly led to a goal. He is doing well and reping your country. He only has few minutes to play and he is making an impact.
If they say you are a hater now you will complain

I think this guy will go place. I watch highlight of some of his training matches (because he has being with them since he was 16yrs), he got the talent. The good news is that... they rate him very very highly.

Plz elders.... where is this promising guy(xavi, iniesta roll in one) by name Suleiman lawal ayomide, nation u15/u17 player?
You know what. I beleive we are about to enter a new decade where we will dominate world and african football. In the next ten years the semi final of the world cup is possible. Grassroot football and foreign born players will make this possible. Nff/futures football academies secondary school competitions etc will make this possible.
We need a jurgen klopp to make us know how talented africans can be in football. Westerhoof made us understand and realize our potential and we need another motivator

Ishaq Abdulrazaq (former u17 world cup player) had an assist today for ikf norkoping in the sweedish league. Match is just over. The midfielder is just 18. One for the future

Jordan Attah Kadiri scores for Ostersunds.
Ishaq Abdulrazaq comes in in the 63rd minute for ifk norkoping

Both teams playing now in sweeden.
Jordan has been touted as a good striker
Ishaq on the other hand was part of one of our u-17 and he is seen as a promising midfield meastro or play maker (one for the future)

These cases you mentioned are quite few and far between.

Zaidu SANUSI isn't better than Jamilu Collins. Both are below average defenders
The Portuguese league is ranked as the 6th best league in Europe according to wikipedia. Na you no sabi wetin he de talk.
It is ranked higher than the dutch and belgian leagues. It is a good league even now. Even now Francisco Trincao is going to barcelona from Braga and a few years ago there was Jao Felix so if a nigerian player is doing well in the Portugues league he deserves commendation. If you are not a good player you will not do well or play regularly in such a league

Really and he couldn't even make one cross in a match played in a backwater league like the Portuguese primera liga.

Abi na the goal wey him score dey totori you?

Na wa oo
Abed dont disrespect the portuguese league. A league that produced c ronaldo bruno fernandes luis figo and many good players. It is a good league. What do you mean by backwater league. It lacks miney but the quality is there. Remember maurinho and porto

Subzero047:
People turned Joel Obi into Kroos for this thread sha grin
Stuff is Joel Obi lost form. Under Siasia he was very good but as from 2018 something snapped and he lost form.
I remember a friendly he played in just before the world cup. He was horrible in that match and seemed like a division 2 Nigerian league player. He practically put every foot wrong. As from then on, he has not been invited again.
I dont know why some locally produced Nigerian players are never consistent. In 2011 (under Siasia) he was good but 7 years later he was horrible.

komekn:
The subject and question raised was young English players the future.

You are comparing men of 35, 34 and 28 to small boys excluding Barkley who is 26. We were talking about the future of football in England and it's progression.

You are changing the narrative.
Komekn you are right. English football is progressing and they may win the world cup in the next 15 year. I did my personal research and saw that they are not playing kick and follow all the time. Their academies now encourage creativity. I will mention 2 points.

1. English premier league has money and so they can even buy ideas and knowledge. They imported technical tiki taka football with Guardiola, Gen gen pressing with Jurgen Klopp, Italian defensive football with Maurinho even sarri ball with Sarri while at chelsea. The problem is the cosmopolitan nature of the premier league and their ability to imbibe new ideas has made English football and the premier league more powerful. Indeed it is more powerful than maybe even 10 years ago.

2. By blending the natural pace and power of an English footballer with the technical and tactical efficiency of the italians, spanish etc, they are creating a new breed of English footballers. the 3 qualities of a player are technique and skill, tactical awarness (what is called decision making) and physical ability (eg speed, strength, stamina etc). The issue is English footballers are trying to create players who have all 3 at the same time. This is highly commendable.

3. However, you worship English football too much. They got all these improvements from foreign coaches and players BUT at least they have adopted it and maybe they are improving on it.

I wanted to add this caveat too but forgot. He is improving small small sha
He needs to pass like jorginhi or oliseh to be world class you know. Generally try to be creative with the ball. Guardiola doesnt really like his style

ABOUT SAMSON TIJANI

When will samson tijani start playing for red bull salzburg or leifering (their youth team).
Everybody knows he has already singed for them.
He turned 18 in May and so i wonder when he will play.
Anybody with information on him.
I like him his game reminds me of Jorginho of Chelsea or Sunday Oliseh
