Mikel with all his talent did not get to play in his favored position to get the best out of him all through club football. That is just the point. Mikel despite performing well for Guus Hiddink was dumped by Conte.

It is generally hard for Africans
. As they age, they lose relevance, even if they are still in form . Look at what Iheanacho is facing despite playing repeatedly well for Leicester City . Imagine if he is older, he will not get a look in. The point is too simple. Attacking me will not change it. Look at how Yaya Toure one of the best in the world died off after Manchester City.

Dude your talking a load of codswallop and balderdash.

KC has been largely poor at Liecester City from day one after 30 games in one season he scored one goal, that's deplorable.

After 6 seasons he has been poor he had one good season 2020/21 and he did remarkable well he scored 12 goals in the EPL.

Last season he was poor this season he is even poorer 1 goal in 14 even if you're get only 20 minuted in each game he should still score more than one goal.

Ademola Lookman was in Liecester in 2021 and as a winger he scored 6 goals and KC scored 4 as a striker with the same number of games.

Ademola leaves Leicester goes to a less competitive league and smaller club in Seria A and is now 2nd highest goal scorer in the league. But nobody calls him clinical finisher top marksman, etc.

You are playing the victim, Yatay Toure didn't fit into Peps philosophy.

It' was so hard for Drogba, Kole Toure, Yakubu, Yobo, Adebayor, Kanu, Okocha. If we look at recent times then Aubameyang 33, Mane30, Salah 30, Partey 29, Koulibally 31, Mahrez 31, etc have two heads and six eyes abe❓. Your talking nonsense I'm sorry but it's true.

Always looking for dark excuses and blame mentality, l am a victim mindset.

must you make such comment..

Athletes have to eat more than the average person. spend more time in the gym, more time doing exercises than the average so their bodies will naturally look more mature than their peers...

when I did NYSC about 10 years ago.. there was a 15 years old guy that was 6ft tall with small beard and more mature face than his classmates....

Its about genetics..

If Tella, Eze, Olise were born and bred in Nigeria.. you guys will say they are in their 30s.

So would I

Because age cheating is ingrained in our culture and there is no way you can carry out official age verification in Nigeria.

It's remarkable how you have continuously for the past 4/5 seasons, just presented myriad of misinformation and disinformation. Nwakali has had a career of consistent continuous downward spiral of mediocrity.

What you are doing is ludicrous and outright misleading to suit your self birthed deceptive agenda and narrative.

Which is NWAKALI is the best Nigerian Midfielder.

I've said and not just with hearsay but substantiated it with comparison analysis. My conclusion, that the Segunda division is a low level league and of poor quality. Your response was that there were players above 21 in Villa Real B team , the same thing applies with EPL U21 teams. First team players use the U21 to get match fit after injury. I once watched Balotelli playing for Manchester city U21.

You've brought out these statistics, it's irrelevant the league is very poor, but more so when you're consider the club almost bankrupt and has no money. That's reflected in the low quality of players they can afford.

Unfortunately, "na money deh kill beta Soup"

Statistics have to be seen in context of the quality of the league and team. Statistics in themselves are not conclusive but indicative.

Stats say a player makes 40 passes but what type of passport is it or the quality of the pass, we don't know. It could be simply 40 kick &rush long balls hoofed up the pitch to a tree trunk giant striker.

Ponferradina would get flogged by most teams in English League two and quite a few at a national conference league. Ponferradina has done nothing of substance in this poor league and there is a simple reason, it's a poor quality league and team sitting permanently in the relegation zone.
you are getting triggered by a random stat report. Seek help

Napoli is a Marquee club.

Every player misses chances and if he was missing chances he won't be number 1 in the top scorers leaderboard.

Don't allow the Nigerian habit of seeing problems where there are no problems affect your judgement and when you're talking about anything concerning Nigerians.

He is already a Nigerian superstar..

The only thing you should be talking about is him not getting injured.

Any other thing you talk about should be positive..

Again don't allow self hatred and talking down on fellow Nigerians consume you. When you notice yourself attempting to write or say something that's demeaning , stop yourself..

He is doing well...

Compliment him and move on there's no need to add gibberish. That's colonial mentality.

It's actually constructive criticism, players don't get better by overhyping but constructive criticism.

You have a retrogressive mentality.

This is about the Dutch manager Ten Hag and his preference for Dutch players and favouritism.

No manager would sign this player unless vested interest and or favoritism. He was at Burnley and was largely a waste Man.

Naija boys topping the scorers chats in Italy things you love to see.

To be fair Lookman wasn't showing world class form when he was with the foxes on loan. Yes he was ok but nothing that would have made you have regrets not signing him. Yes in hindsight it looks like a silly decision but in the end this move was the best thing for Ademola. Just happy it seems we hit the jackpot again with his switch because he's beginning to exhibit true classy form.

Chris baba,Lookman Ademola in Leicester deserved permanent signing,forget world class form.I think Leicester lacking finance caused it. I don't think Leicester signed any player this season.

Oga rest...all these na shalaye.
Onyedinma and Onomah wey you dey force on us here that time, were their stats not similar to this.

Nwakali is not good. We agree... oya rest IJN
wetin sef

First of all, if a player is not performing I STOP TALKING ABOUT them. That's football HERE and NOW.

The last time l talked about Onyedinma was over 5 seasons ago , so what's your point. With regards to Josh it's over season ago.

I don't start flogging a dead horse continuously over the past 8 years.

Please go and compare the career trajectory of Tega and Onyedinma to that of Nwakali please them tell me who you honestly think is better.

They say "Money talks, BS walks" Tega earns more than 10 a week what Nwakali earns and Onyedinma a mere 2/3 times.

Luton is in the playoffs in the Championship and although injury has plagued Onyedinma he is a key player for Luton.

Tega Onomah is a Β£30K+ a week bench warmer at Fulham and not playing and hardly making the bench. Simply better players than him now. He will no on loan to Rangers or Some other Championship team.

However, none of them have Ben relegated to youth football, or had thier contract terminated before the time or been publicly offloaded. There past accolades leave Nwakali in the darkness.

Here and now NWAKALI will not get on the bench of any of there current teams. None of them have the indignity of playing for a bankrupt team that pays peanuts in the relegation zone of a poor quality Segundo division bottom of the league team.

Nonetheless, I don't talk about them AT ALL fit years. Yet in REALITY they are both considerably better than Nwakali.

Who is the hypocrite here with blatant double standard ❓❓

Ademola Lookman now has 11 Goals, 3 assists in 18 league games (13 starts).

His 2nd goal vs Juventus was the best. A sweet and intelligently guided header past Szczesny. His first headed goal of the season.

Aside Osimhen, no one has more goals in Serie A than Lookman.

No one also has more G/A in Serie A this season aside Osimhen.

It's the Naija Serie A Show. 😎πŸ’₯πŸ’₯πŸ‡³πŸ‡¬


His Form: 6 goals in his last 3 Atalanta games across all competitions (Serie A, Coppa Italia) - A brace per game.
