Eze will slot well at AM, but why play Iwobi as b2b, when there is Alhassan Yusuf.
and u will prefer Yusuf in the b2b/Central midfield position instead of Alex?

very complete but hv been languishing in laliga 2 for the past 2-3 seasons? Baba no dey deceive ya self but face fact.

If scouts can comb obscure leagues in Africa,Asia,south and Central America to unearth talents I see no reason none is yet to see what majority of you see in nwakali to recommend him to clubs in better leagues cheesy
The fact is what i am facing. Nwakali is a more complete midfielder when compared to Eze.
Promotion can sometimes be delayed.

Kelechi Nwakali is more complete as a midfielder when you compare him to Eberechi Eze.

As far as Nwakali doesn't play for Liverpool, you will not rate him.
Nwakali is having a good season but bros try to dey fear God

You made me laugh in Telugu.

In the present state of things and if you look well, Eberechi is not as important to our team as you guys make him to be. He is not coming to add anything new.

This is the fact.
A complete midfielder in very simple explanation, can play the DM, CM and AM roles. You can say this for Nwakali, but not for Eberechi.

I honestly don't care what u watched more than me, last I checked we are not in a competition for who watched the most bla bla bla. Plus the numbers can never lie and Google has all the numbers. All I know is that the same way Frank was switched back and forth from a DM to a CM in Denmark was exactly how Raphael was done.

Raphael is clearly a younger Frank. They both can do a lot of stuff which made the coach use them to solve different issues.
Basco, you are an international brand now so please let this matter rest, ALRIGHT!!!

Maybe he shouldn't have. Maybe.

But you see, that's hindsight at work. And who can argue with hindsight?
If you had made this statement back then, many would probably have seen you as a guy who doesn't seek the lad's progress because to them they would throw the question, "Who turns down a move to the EPL?"

Me, I would have just looked at the perspective and probably kept mute, just watching.



Anyone with good memory can recall how I always talked up Onyeka's exploits in Denmark. I was excited at the potentials I felt his performances in Denmark reflected.

I was pleased with his box to box energy and although his ballplaying was still raw and average (and it still is), I felt perhaps he could improve in that aspect with time.


I know he wasn't the finished article but I felt he was on an upward route in terms of development but since his move to England, he hasn't stepped up in terms of technical/tactical improvements at all. He's just been a workrate merchant and I am not pleased at all.

And his limitations in the middle game just become more obvious almost everytime he plays but I still appreciate his Vertical-playing directness and his box to box pressing runs and energy.

I call him Frank the Tank...coz he is a physical powerhouse but you see Tanks are for brawns. And the middle game is not just about brawns. It is also about brains.

Our Super Eagles midfield is full of brawns. We need more brains to balance things out. The best is some who can bring a mix of both.

Meliforme:
Frank Onyeka shouldn't have made the leap straight to the EPL.
I believe the coach's instructions is also affecting how he plays.

▶️Peter Olayinka scored as his side, Slavia Prague beat FC Trinity Zlín 4-0 in a Czech Liga fixture.

Olayinka now has 5 goals, 2 assists in 10 league games (9 Starts).

Across all competitions in 22/23, he has 10 goals, 4 assists in 22 games.





▶️Moses Simon scored as his side, Nantes secured a 2-2 draw at home vs AC Ajaccio.

He now has 5 goals, 2 assists in 13 league games (13 starts).


Note: There was initial confusion from Nantes' official accounts across social media as they credited Simon's Goal to Camerounian Ignatius Ganago...
https://twitter.com/FCNantes/status/1591820038671056896?t=JBLUyceUoFB0ip4MTL1rJA&s=19

... but it has been corrected.


Here's a highlight of the game (Watch via Youtube on the Ligue 1 Channel through same link as Ligue 1 media rights restrictions prevent it from being viewed directly on NL).

See Simon's Goal/Assist at 3.55... Even the commentator affirms the goal belongs to Simon as Ganago truly didn't get a touch on the ball.

hmmmm shocked

If eze decides to switch to us that AM position is he’s unless he underperforms

To justify your claim who is that AM in the current super eagles set up that will push eze to the LW position? Don’t say iwobi because I believe jpes will prefer to deploy him as the teams CM/b2b midfielder
I believe Iwobi is playing as a CM due to the 442 formation. Iwobi is the better AM IMO

Can you imagine suggesting that we call up division 2 player like nwakali ahead of Epl Aribo or Belgium onyedika ahead of Epl Onyeka. The same people want us to believe that, there isn’t any external interest in those players

God helps those who help themselves and walk in Faith.

7 years of vagabond journey man across Europe Nwakali has ended up in a bankruptcy club in the relegation zone of the poorly Segunda division.

Team got flogged by a Guadalajara from the Tercera Federación, this is the fifth tier of Spanish football essentially amateurs and semi professionals. That's like a non league club flogging a championship club.

And some Super delusional call him Midfielder maestro and have the crazy audacity to make comparison with Eze.

A reminder who Eze is below he keeps improving never remaining be stagnant.

It's quite remarkable that two Nigerian players sit in the top three highest goal scorers in Seria A.

V.O. and Ademola Lookman, thats never happened before.

Very quietly and silently Ademola is ripping this Seria A league in a not so high profile team. But nobody really calls him monster beast player , terminator ,etc.

If Tomori still want to play for us, I won't mind provided he typed a 3-paged apology for refusing us at first. grin grin
As for Billing, no hard feelings o but I'll take Onyeka, Onyedika, Bonke ahead of him. We had no proper backup for Ndidi when we approached him but now we do so he should stay put.
Your bigoted hypocritical and filled with double standard.

Akpoguma rejected Nigeria publicly several times after requests were made to him, his Father casting aspersions on Nigeria in the process. But we still invited him well Rohr did

If you compare quality and pedigree Akpoguma is not on the same level as Fikayo Tomori but actually well below. Actually there is no current CB in Nigeria that is on the same level as Fikayo Tomori to date.

If Tomori agrees to play for Nigeria we should give him commendations and welcome him with open arms unreservedly.

None of them are currently better than billing ,maybe onyedika comes close

Tomori will still win Caps for England despite missing out on their World Cup squad
