Where did you get the news from

tbaba1234:
Kelechi Nwakali has been loaned to SD Ejea in the Spanish third tier.

Terem Moffi just scored for Kortrijk. His club is leading 3 - 1 and he scored the third goal.
That is 2 goals in 3 games.
We have a useful addition to our squad both now and the nearest future

Do you watch Azubuike Okechukwu at his club? How good are his games in Turkey. I mean i suspect the guy is grossly underrated

TheSuperNerd:
As we await to see if this Ighalo to Man utd deal will pull through eventually in what will be the craziest transfer I may see this window... Lol


Just to let you know... Azubuike Okechukwu played 90 mins for Istanbul Basaksehir as they won 3-1 at home vs Genclerbirligi in the Turkish Super Lig.

Terem Moffi starts for Kortrijk today against standard league. The 20 year old player is playing as the striker. Match starts now at 8:30pm.
I hope he scores. He is called the new Victor Osimhen and was part of the 2015 set but was dropped

TheSuperNerd:
Oga Haaland is not better than Osimhen. That is the truth. You can argue from planet to planet but he is no better. They can be put at par but no way is he better.nada!!

And when you say young, did you put a Cap on their ages, genius? Lol... Did you say Best U-20 Striker in the world? As far as the footba world is concerned, any body 23 and under is as young as the next 18 years old.

And Haaland just began his career with Dortmund both off the bench. Let the lad have his run from the start and we will really see his quality. Afterall... Osimhen was also averaging a goal every 45mins immediately after his debut in Ligue 1 and from the start too. Lol... Let Haaland play ball well first before you begin making noise because I also rate and Love Haaland.

As for Odegaard... I just gave you a list of other fine young AMs. You can cancel yourself out with it coz you can see you uttered total rubbish. Lol

And uhmmm.. are De Bruyne and Eriksen 23?? Alli is still 23 and under. And stop calling Odegaard a real Madrid kid... He is not!!! Zaniolo is a Roma wonderkid playing for Roma!!! Ia Odegaard playing for Madrid??!! Jeeez!! Stop the Calumny abeg.

Oga Haaland is better than Osimhen. Haaland at 19 is scorring 28 goals in 22 matches which is alarming

TheSuperNerd:
The Super Eagles' Current Depth... Includes the incoming Naija lads of dual/multiple nationalities: Those who have declared for Nigeria and are ready + Those whose switch are close to happening already and those Naija lads whose first caps are not far off

Maduka Okoye - still a rookie
Ikechukwu Ezenwa - Off and On.



CB: William Troost Ekong

RB: Ola Aina
Chidozie Awaziem (not natural role)


LB: Jamilu Collins
Ola Aina
Bryan Idowu

Others "certain to/likely to/that may" come into the picture with time:

- David Okereke (CF)
- Stephen Odey (CF)
- Ebere Eze (AM)- Once he is available after this whole "U-21 smokescreen" episode.
- Dominic Iorfa Jr (CB)
- Tyronne Ebuehi (RB) - Once he starts getting decent playing time again.
- Umar Sadiq (CF)
- Olanrenwaju Kayode (CF) - A far fringe player that may work his way back depending on circumstances.
- Osaze Urhoghide (RB)
- Any of the German-born Naija lads who changes their mind and declares for us like Jordan Torunarigha, Felix Uduokhai, Kevin Akpoguma.
- etc.... etc.... Etc..... (Time no dey to mention all)







From the above we can clearly see the areas that need strengthening in our darling Super Eagles team and we can safely say we are super packed in quality on the LW


The AM role takes topmost priority, followed by the Goalie role, then the fullbacks roles... Then others can follow. The CM role will soon have Ejaria added to give Aribo that competition which gives us mad depth but another can still be sought to further deepen the quality depth. Azeez Ramon is also there for backup.

Alhassan Yusuf needs to be considered. He is wanted by european clubs and making waves in sweeden. He is only 19 and he is a box to box or central midfielder

I think it is better for Ahmed Musa to play as a free roaming striker as that role fits him better. His final ball from the wings is poor. However as a striker, he still has it. His speed, skill, mobility, movement, finishing and aggression are phenomenal.
We still need Musa because of experience. He has done it in the world cup before and when we get to a world cup quarterfinal we might need him to come off the bench and do something special.
Musa is not a bad player but as i said, he is better as a free roaming striker. check out his two games against Argentina in the 2014 and 2018 world cup and his game against Ireland. Experience make you stand up to the big occasion. We will need him until 2022 and then we can think of totally dropping him. Every team needs experienced players. You cant win with 100% kids.
Every winning team needs experienced players. They may or may not be the most talented but you can't buy experience.
The yorubas say
"A child may have more clothes than an elder but he does not have the rags of an elder".
Musa is even still 27 or 28.
These ademola lookmans or chukwueze might be more talented by musa BUT they do not have his rags which is experience, mental strength, winning mentality and composure. These things matter as much as talent

ChrisKels:
It is about time Musa does the honorable thing, yes he has had his time and could(debatable) be termed a legend, but, with the emergence of Kalu, SiMoses, Ejike, Onyekuru and now Ademola on that left wing, I don't see why he should still be getting an invite from the Arabian Gulf league

Nigerian players like kelechi nwakali alhassan ibrahim (who plays like Kanu) do not make it in Europe because they have bad agents and not talent. I think European teams treat our players like shit and it is unfair. Something needs to be done about the way our players transfer to European clubs. There is a structural problem somewhere that is not necessarily the players fault.
It is soo bad and persistent it needs to be studied by a social scientist in a University.
It might have to do with exploitation, poverty, greed and ignorance

He was born in Okija but moved to England with his family when he was ten years old. I want to ask can he play as a play maker and give Iwobi competition in that play maker or attacking midfielder role. How good is he and what is his best position. Somebody educate me

ChrisKels:
This Okija boy, Bright Osayi Samuel, who has long pledged his allegiance to Nigeria, but was surprisingly overlooked by our recent Dream Team handlers, despite his exploits so far with the QPRs, is wanted by Southampton, according to -
