TheGoodJoe:
Please Bro, don't call him that. He is still family here. Thank you in advance.

On another note, I can't thank you enough for the updates. You make this thread a knowledgeable one.
But but but KomeCLOWN is even more generous than the actual name I had in mind. grin

Please help me ask him why he has never ever questioned Iwobi's Age. Iwobi was born in Lagos, Nigeria just like Osimhen. And the latter still underwent MRI test screening. Ask him and hear why he deserves a name worse than Komeclown. I am being generous honestly.

He's family but he is the Poison of the Family. The poison within the family and I'm just handling the poison.

And ohhh Thanks My Top Man, GoodJoe. It's something I have always enjoyed. 7 years on going on 8 and the Passion haven't reduced. What can I say? wink

Merci Beaucoup

komekn:
Osimhen is operating on past youthful glory as an U17 player, which is essentially small boys football. That as it stands is archived history of plus two years ago. No longer tenable or relevant for current assessment.

Currently, Solanke is the best player in the just recently concluded U20 World cup an accolade that is much closer to the professional senior game.

Solanke was already a regular on the Eredivisie as a 17 year old. Add to that was winning cups for Chelsea as the best youth team arguably in Europe but definitely in England.

Solanke is not just a bench warmer but a fully fledged senior team member for Liverpool.

Osimhen is struggling to warm the bench at Wolfsburg this is the reality. As it stands has he played up to one hour of football this season for struggling and lowly Wolfsburg.

This may be hard for some to digest but Osimhen will not enter the youth team of any top EPL club as it stands. If Indeed he could make the youth team of a Championship side that would be more probable but not certain.

So let's have no doubt Solanke is far ahead of Osimhen in every respect.
Gents, ladies, let's take a moment to analyse this quote in bold..

According to my dictionary, the verb "will" can be defined as follow:

will1
/wɪl/
verb
1.
expressing the future tense.
"you will regret it when you are older"
2.
expressing inevitable events.
"accidents will happen"

So unless Komken is ignorant of the use of English, he was basically predicting Osimhen's future when he made this statement.
And yet, he insists he was speaking in the context of here and now!

Raphael Onyedika returns.

Back from Accumulated Cards Suspension and immediately installed into the Team's starting lineup.

So much for the folks who said he was injured and was no longer making the squad or bench. Smh.

Smh. Even on Sundays, you still walk around this thread like a fool and with the bitterness of a scorned marketwoman seeing her periods. Don't you go to church? Don't you pray? You could ask for sense you know? wink Coz you seriously LACK ANY. The little you have is PSEUDO.

The Bible says "if any of you lack Wisdom, let him ask of God" but obviously you don't pray due to your overbloated sense of yourself and here you are displaying more foolishness in my mentions.

So you would believe the guy in the first picture(Below) is 17 and have no need for your silly 5 years additions to ages but you won't believe the age of the guy in the second picture(Below) despite being subject to MRI's over 90% accuracy test of the left wrist for teen boys who is still kicking on since 2015 despite all the injuries?? Do you know of the relationship between age and recovery time for injuries?? Lol... why bother you with the question. You're just pseudo-intellectual garbage. Anyway, since 2015 is 9 years as a footballer & 7 years as a pro. Hope you know. By the way, how come I have never seen you question Iwobi's age despite Iwobi also being Born in Nigeria?? gringrin(His pic also below)

KomeCLOWN.... you are INFACT WORSE THAN a clown. YOU ARE THE ENTIRE CIRCUS.

KomeCIRCUS fits you more nicely. A circus that altogether contributes to an IQ of less than 50, yep, That's you. This is me being nice coz it's Sunday.



Meanwhile, you haven't told us how your words on October 20, 2017 or any of the ones quoted saw you advising Osimhen (the man in the second pic) to move to Belgium grin

Here it is again... show us the Advice, LIAR KING OF THE DUMBEST CIRCUS.




Happy Sunday The Boroughs' Circus fool and LIAR.

Calling a snake a snake is hardly an abuse, My Top Man GoodJoe. Besides, he used the word Neanderthal as he always does anyway, disguised behind subtle invectives. We know how that Poison rolls in here. It's been 6 years or more.

Shut out by the coach since his red card in Late July/Early August for Violent conduct in his 2nd league start. His red card contributed to them losing that game.

Did very well in his debut game from the start. Started the second game and bagged a red card for bad conduct, served his ban and since then he has been restricted to bench roles and cameos. Now in recent weeks since the turn of the new year, he has not made the matchday squad.

An unfortunate situation Ishaq faces at Anderlecht.

Raphael Onyedika has been immense today vs Anderlecht. Easily the best midfielder on display.

He started the forward quick transition buildup to Club Brugges' opening goal too. Club brugges 1-0 up.
Re: "The Super Eagles Thread: The Road To AFCON 2027, 2028 And 2030 World Cup by fabyom: 3:02pm On Jan 15, 2023
Onyedika having a stunning game! Does not stop running and intercepting and cutting off all Anderlecht dangerous balls this second half. He has indeed cemented his place in this team. For a player who was not listed last week this is how you respond.
I feel for Isaq, the coach doesn't even give him the chance to make amends! If Anderlecht lose today, that coach will surely be sacked!

Interestingly, I was already preparing something on this lad before you asked this question. Well, I guess the cat's out of the bag.

Like Lesley Ugochukwu, here is another one with Naija heritage but raised in the French system.

Aside the wikipedia info of him moving to France at age 3 and being born in Lagos to Naija parents (Similar case to Yossoufa Moukoko of Dortmund, born in Cameroun and moved to Europe early under Adoption), what we need know is that he is a promising young striker who bagged 24 goals in the French U17 National championships in 2020/21. A left footed forward who stands at an impressive height for a 16 year old: 1.85m.

Belongs to the class of 2006's "French" Generation Next alongside PSG's Warren Zaire-Emery.


More info digging shows his Father is a Business Owner in Nigeria while his mum works for a restaurant.

George has 3 younger brothers and a sister. He and his immediate junior were born in Nigeria while the rest of his siblings were born in France.
He says he got into football because of his Athletic uncles from his maternal side. Idolised CR7 and Mbappe.



His goal against Maja's Girondins Bordeaux made him the first 2006-born to score a goal in any of the top 5 European leagues and their 2nd divisions. A Pioneer.

He did this at age 16 years, 4 months and 28 days.

So what are our chances with this lad? Time will tell but he does seem to recognise his Nigerian roots.

Here is a clip reel of the lad.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ie18eAebq3I

He will turn 17 much later in the summer.





P.S: I only hope, unlike Moukoko, he doesn't turn out a little older than his age currently states. Moukoko have been found out to be 22 and not 18 in actuality due to documents provided by his grand dad according to report findings. Their kasala.

Ilenikhena's story so far shows he may truly be his age and all. So yep, another prospect.
Well detailed. Thanks man
