So biko... if anyone calls Newcastle here again ehn.... angry[/quote]I was really impressed with the Spurs players at Newcastle yesterday, both teams probably saved a life. Is St Maxima of Newcastle African? That dude is really good. Newcastle has had tastes of good 9ja players too sha, Obafemi Martins and of course Sola Ameobi (even though na back door he use enter team). Demba Ba was spectacular there too. Hoping to see the next Nigerian or African they will sign.

This guy, with this his clip that I just watched, is he not even too good for this Swedish league?
Yeah but they sent him there to develop. Even Ibrahimovic and his coaches and the management of hammarby know that. He is their Cash cow. They plan to sell him to a bigger club in one or two years time.
The plan is to develop him into a world class player and sell him and it is working.
Ibrahimovic likes him a lot.
And like I said before he is actually a false 9 by default and most false 9 can play attacy midfield. Think of firmini, Messi totti etc

Chairman, some years ago, Man City was playing in the EFL until they had new owners and see where they are now. How do you know with the support Newcastle will get money wise that they would be the next big thing in the EPL in the next 2 to 3 years? We all saw how baba Olowo Father Abram transformed Chelsea, Leicester with their late owner and of course Money City, typo meant Man City.
Good... after they are big and constant UCL regulars in 3 years, they can come for Osimhen. Not now. cool

Man City's squad quality moved and grew very fast after the 2008 takeover by Sheikh Mansour but didn't get Aguero until 2011. That was 3 years... so Newcastle can wait for their own 3 years. grin

Since we are on the topic of money, help me ask your adopted son, Haaland why he won't head to Newcastle even though they are the only ones on the planet who can match his dream wage demands (strongly rumored to be very close to 500K euros per week) and can even go way above that and can settle Mino Raiola and Alfe Haaland (the real dad) with 20-30 million euros without any form of hard negotiations. grin


See ehn... Osimhen, Haaland, Mbappe... these 3 lads are the leading Strikers of the new generation of footballers. There's no way any of them will be found at Newcastle just because Bin Salman and his Public investment fund have come to town.

They can get the others... Vlahovic, Isak, En-Nesyri even... I don't even think Lautaro Martinez will head their way anytime soon... yet.

And finally... understand one final point.

OSIMHEN IS WIRED DIFFERENTLY. It's not just about Money for Osimhen. And ofcos I should know this for obvious reasons now known to everyone on this thread. That guy is madly ambitious. He wants to be one of the Greatest Greats and he is taking it one day/game at a time.


So biko... if anyone calls Newcastle here again ehn.... angry

Na wa for you grin Do you know how much I rate Fati? He would be in the convo without question if he were a centre forward.

As for Greenwood, abeg abeg... that guy be like the English Politano. His own is to cut in and shoot and his shooting is top notch no doubt. But apart from that, dude is no game changer like Fati so they both should not be in same sentence.

And Alexander Isak is really good. I rate him but when talking top 3 Strikers of the new generation already making their marks then you would understand why Isak is not in that conversation. He will be one of the names on the lips of fans for the next decade no doubt but Haaland, Mbappe and Osimhen lead the way strongly and their overall attributes make their case far stronger compared to the others.

Coaching does not work like that. It takes the right job and opportunity. Samson Siasia for instance was out of a job for a long time. When he called the chance to coach the Olympics team, he did well.

It is not like going to work every morning.

The call for Amunike to coach the Super Eagles has to do with history, status and tactical acumem.

What was Rhor doing to land the Super Eagles job? Why is Amunike getting the job such an Abomination to people.
Rohr was sacked by Burkina Faso before he joined us. Rohr coached a lot of teams o, Bordeaux, Nantes, Etoile Sahel, young boys of Switzerland, Gabon, Niger etc but truth be told the man apart from his Bordeaux stint just dey go lower men and he dey chop sack like kilode until he won loser's final with the SE. So u no fit contest about Rohr with you because even though he was almost always employed but he kept going lower until he volunteered himself for the SE job after that man NFF hired declined our offer.
That said, Emma should still get a regular club even if na Akwa Utd, Kano Pillars, Rivers United or we fit manage am for my darling Shooting Stars grin

To score for Laliga don Dey hard ,goals Dey flow for other leagues pass Laliga now

Danjuma was not a championship player despite him playing there he was relegated with Bournemouth just as Sarr was relegated with watford

How is danjuma topping Laliga scoring chart ,abi super glue Dey your eyes ?

If I am to go by your ikorodu agenda danjuma has 4 goals and a certain Sarr from the championship already has 4 goals in the epl

The kinda rubbish i read here on a daily is nauseating.

Osimhen, Haaland and Mbappe are the 3 leading Strikers of the new generation? grin cheesy. So Isak and Lauro Martinez are pornstars right?

The buttlicker called Andrew is always quick to nod his head like an agama lizard that he is. This thread lass lass na cruise. grin
Re: "The Super Eagles Thread: The Road To AFCON 2027, 2028 And 2030 World Cup by TheSuperNerd(m):
I say again, Alexander Isak is a World Class talent. He is really really good and I am well aware of his La Liga and Sociedad career numbers last season and from beyond it.
He is my number 5 for top young Strikers today in world football. Martinez is my number 4. Then ofcos you know my Top 3 which is also reflective of the words making the rounds around Europe today. So the Top 3 is not just my opinion but is actually factual today.

Others may yet rise because time is a funny thing but Haaland is already dragging Best CF in the Bundesliga with Lewy but for me he is already the most clinical striker in Germany and possibly even in Europe. Note the word, "Clinical". Lewy may still be the best CF overall in Germany but he ain't as Clinical as Haaland is.

In Serie A, Osimhen is already generally accepted as not just the best striker in the league but even the best player so far this season. This is a league that still has Lautaro Martinez of Inter and Immobile of Lazio.

In Ligue 1, we all know Mbappe is King. I need not talk much on him here.

So you see why the case for these 3 as the leading faces of the striker dept for the new generation is mad-ass strong? Now if we enter their individual attributes in the role using eye test and their numbers but most especially eye test, it becomes even scarier seeing how clear they are of the others.

Isak is up there when we talking World Class talents in the #9 role but those 3 are just a whole level of different and unique.



And yes naa.... Greenwood is rightly the English Politano. Watch him more and compare with Politano and you will see the similarities in their game. Cut-in-and-shoot-merchants. grin

Zidane was a CAM. Xavi was a CM and Deeplying playmaker. Big difference.

But understand something. Both were Playmakers. Both could dictate plays but they both did it in different areas of the pitch.

And deep lying Playmakers are not #10s. They are holding Midfielders who specialise in ball playing skills like passing and conducting a team's plays rather than being overburdened with defensive tasks like tackling. They do contribute to Defensive acts too when necessary but they primary role is to control a team's rhythm in the middle game.

They are different from the ball winning kind of Midfielders who also sit deep - The tough tackling CDMs.

In the time of Pep ad Barca coach in that glorious Barca era post-2006, Xavi Played the role of Midfield dictator in the capacity of a CM. Busquets was the team DM who was also adept at ball playing and did his job defensively.


And #10s normally refer to a team's Playmaker or star attacking midfielder. And the Likes of Pele, Maradona and Johannes Cruyff are great examples of what fantastic #10s. Sometimes an attacking midfielder is mistaken for a trequartista even though Both roles are similar in certain aspects.


So dribbling is not what decides who a number 10 is even though these guys who played the role were also very accomplished dribblers. I mean, Zidane, Pele (also termed a trequartista), Maradona, Platini and Cruyff.

Xavi was a pure old fashioned deep lying playmaker and Central Midfilder aka traditional 10.

.... who has since adapted into his new role as a RW. Was gonna be picked as a RW for the Euros as well if not for Injury.

So you see... I know he came in as a CF as first but he has since adapted to the RW. Just like Mbappe is a CF who also functions as an inside forward either from the left or right.

I'm with u on this one.

In addition,
Central midfielders can also play the no.10 role.
Attacking midfielders can also play no.10 role.

The no no.10 role r usually played by playmakers vis vasa.

What the super eagles need right now is a playmaker,
whether is deep lying playmaker or normal playmaker

Zidane was the both. Sometimes, he can play as a pure CM aka deep lying playmaker, while sometimes, he can be pushed forward as an AM. The both players were capable of dictating and controlling the course of a game and this is the type of playmaker that SE is lacking. We’re looking for a playmaker that can dictate, control the course of a game
