Awo's potentials definitely surpasses Ujah's by far. You forget this Awoniyi gave the Bayern Defence hell and also made mince meat of the Dortmund defence all in this current season. Awo is definitely among our long list of quality options in the CF role.

Never mention Ujah and Awoniyi in same sentence again like this one. angry
I don't rate him

Don't know how this is gonna come across, but I don't rate any of our centre backs. They all have huge deficiencies, albeit Balogun is slightly ahead of them all. I always wish we had Tomori to partner a player like Torunarigha, but right now I'm looking at Paul Chigozie Iweru of Juventus and Osazemwinde Uroghide of Sheffield Wednesday as possible CB options
same here man, I don't rate any of them one bit. I can settle with only balogun based on current form and can't wait for torunarigha to be cleared as rumored

Ajayi, ekong, omeruo and awaziem re just below average CBs.

I even prefer awaziem as a rb than in the cb position

Omeruo we have waited forever for him to improve but no signs of that happening

Ekong is mistake prone same as ajayi

My instincts tells me that Akpoguma may be better than ekong and ajayi if paired with balogun at the hrt of defence but as a rb which is not his natural position bobo na calamity

The Sheffield Wednesday lad is a good option as well but I am yet to watch the juve starlet play so I don't know how good he is

If these are the guys we going to the world cup with, once again, then, expect nothing different from what we got the last time. Ekong, Omerou, Awziem and Ajayi should be warming the bench at best

If you dare make mention of foreign players you will be tagged ass licker but for the pass 1 week we have been hyping an Enyimba player who debuted for the super eagles few weeks ago who is just a low budget ejuke uzoenyi

You need quality to go far in competitions as big as the world cup

Bailly is a choir boy now. Not the force he used to be. Boly?? Where was he today? Not even in the matchday squad. Using the fact they ball in the EPL is not enough. Bailly isn't even a starter anymore.

Osimhen will tear them apart. No caps.


As for Senegal, the fact that synergy and that understanding is yet to be established between Diallo and Koulibaly is the one reason why Osimhen or even a Moffi will tear through them with the help of our creative wingers and AM.

Believe me, the Synergy between Ekong and Balogun is greater and far more durable than the Diallo-Koulibaly you mention. Ekong and Balogun have been together and played together for longer than this new shiny duo still trying to understand each other's left and right. grin

Meanwhile Nigeria kept 3 clean sheets in the qualifiers unlike CIV that conceeded in four games having just two clean sheets against Niger. So CIV is likelier to concede every game compared to My Super Eagles. grin

The end.

The Ekong-Balogun combo have better synergy than the two ivorians mentioned. That is a fact.

If we wanna go individual. Akpoguma is just as good or could even be better than either Bailly or Boly in the here and now.

But you see, what the need having a good CB when he doesn't have a sound partner? We have a partnership that works and that is all that matters.

Only in your world would any of our center backs be chosen ahead of either Boly or Baily. No go talk this thing outside oo make people no beat you scatter oo.

Right now, I will rate Akpoguma in the same level or even slightly higher than Bailly. Bailly that has played only 8 games in the EPL this season. That one that doesn't even start games again compared to an Akpoguma who was a sure starter in the Bundesliga until his injury.

Abeggiiii... Right now, Akpoguma >>> Bailly. Enough of using "I get am before" to talk football. After all, you don't normally advocate for players who had it before naa... So why change it for Bailly? grin

Chris, it's only in your world that CIV has depth compared to the Super Eagles or has a better team. But it's what obsession can do. grin

We have an Incoming Torunarigha and I will pick him over Boly. We have Akpoguma and I will pick him over Bailly. No be by "I get am before".

But for the sake of durable synergy and understanding, Ekong and Balogun is good to go because they have this balance and maturity in their combo.

I have said this outside a few times and I didn't get mugged because I had facts. I don't speak to Animals outside naa or people who don't anything about the beautiful game. I speak to sensible people who know the game and who can listen.

Bailly is a bloody bench warmer and not better than an Akpoguma balling consistently in the Bundesliga.

The bolded is the partnership I want to give a shot. It looks good on paper. Ekong is too error prone for my liking and he ain't got no pace, neither can he pass to save his life

I disagree on the Ekong passing deficiency. He was really good with his passing range against Benin Republic in Porto Novo. He found Onyekuru with ease in that first half several times with those sweet long balls from the RCB position. But as usual, some of you don't observe to see if our players improve in certain aspects, you just stick to the general boring takes of "This guy can never do this".

Ekong has actually stepped up a bit in his passing. And about being Error prone, well, that hasn't been the case in recent Naija games between last year and this year.


Meanwhile, yes... Toru-Akpo combo looks bright on paper but they will need time too. Without that synergy, it's just one for the paper talks.

The points you made above re not tangible enough reason to see him slip off our fingers

To be honest I don't foresee Onuachu having a fruitful long career in the super eagles, if I were to be a coach he is not my type of striker because is an old fashioned striker who tend to be static at the number 9 position unlike modern 9s that re more mobile and switch positions wen the need arises

Sadiq on his part is not only about scoring both possess this creative spark we only saw when Kanu was still in the super eagles. He has a good footballing IQ that can be handy against stubborn defensive minded teams.

Moffi is replica of lukaku if you have seen him player and aside osimhen he is the only power playing left footed striker we can boast of

Simi is no different from Onuachu and strikers of their kind re easily marked out in games

We have to talk to dike first before finding out if his mind is made up or not. With suc crazy Stat just few months joining barnsley frm the MLS he deserves a look in. Him being linked to top 6 epl teams means he is doing something that enticises those teams and I see no reason he won't get a move to the epl if he continues with his form

The English championship to be is more competitive than the Belgian, scotish and Dutch top tiers and for a player to be raking up mouth watering stats after just joining few months ago he truly deserves the hype
Honestly I think we've lost him. It's a little too late now.
USMNT are building something special with their new generation of players.
I don't think dude will change his mind now...

At just 19 years old, he has full understanding of the game. Evidence is how he carries Arsenal on his shoulder despite having World class players.

He is definitely better than most of our wingers. If not all.
