Isn’t jpes the same coach that noticed that Onyemaechi is good enough to make our team from the same league?

the threshold is not even 10m pounds as u stated but more

Such clause doesn’t affect players under the special talent bracket bro, make your findings

Iheanacho move to city was possible because of the special talent clause after emerging as the best player u17 player in the world. City didn’t pay close anything close to the threshold u stated, same goes to Nwakali

Ndidi that was even more established than the above mentioned duo playing at Genk didn’t find himself under the special talent bracket and that was the main reason leicester coughed out around 16m pounds if I am not mistaken to get him from Belgium as Kante’s replacement

Say what you know
That special talent rule is almost like a lottery system. You have to argue it and there's no guarantee you will get it. Awoniyi Taiwo was the highest scorer with Iheanacho but he failed to get work permit with Liverpool. Besides "some" clubs seems to be favoured than others when it comes to this. You can't rule out corruption and inducement in the system.
Iheanacho at Arsenal may not get his work permit. While Nwakali at oil Man city may get it.

Osimhen play RW? grin Abeg, wetin Mofi do last season and this season for em club wey Osimhen go give am chance?

He can switch. So u no see am dey switch throughout these matches? U sure say una dey concentrate dey watch match?

Osimhen needs partners.

He didn't switch throughout these matches.

He was drifting away from his position and since there was no other striker, no one had the intelligence to go into the striker position and combine with Osimhen.

Osimhen needs another forward player with him.

Oga Awoniyi didn’t move to liverpool immediately after that year’s u17 World Cup say what you know.

Players that earned deals after that competition were success (who hv been signed by Udinese before the competition) iheanacho, Chidiebere Nwakali, Mohammed


It took Awoniyi close to 2-3 years before getting the liverpool deal. Even it was his performance with the u20 in the afcon qualifiers and in the competition that attracted liverpool to sign him

Go and watch EQG vs CIV and see how solid players played.

Those solid players could only create one chance against us in full 90mins

Many people didn't have high hopes on the team before the AFCON and that was because they've been seeing what you are just seeing and how the players have failed to jell in the last few months.

I think it is you and Komekn especially should learn better lessons of not using top 5 league to judge players but those that are no longer small teams don't have more than 3 of their players in top 5 leagues.

Who are the top 5 most competent players in the current squad, consistency, quality, influence on the game and end product.

Aina
VO
Bassey
Iwobi
Ademola

They all play in the backwaters of Europe and low quality teams ❓

There are number of players I would not have had in the squad. The squad selection was poor unimpressive and not adventurous.

There are several far better players left out .

I think aina needs to go back to right wing back where he’s more comfortable
He gassed out yesterday against GNB

If he didn't has out he would not be human.

He was playing CM, RW, LB and LW as well as running back to defend how many clear chances from quality crosses and passes did he create.

I am almost certain Aina did more running than any other player on the field by a considerable margin

It would have made sense if Osimhen had started from the bench. Moffi or Onuachu should have started. Who knows they might turn out to be more prolific than Victor.

I just don't know what exactly is wrong with Osimhen.

Over three matches he has been awful in front of goal while getting at least two to three big chances per game!

This is not the Osimhen the world knows at Napoli! 😕 What exactly is going on?🤔

Does he not know that the whole world is watching?... The only thing that's been keeping him a little bit relevant is that he has his other attributes going for him - his pace, strength, and agility.


It's not strength but determination by AFCON standards he is lightweight and is getting bullied. This is not Europe where he can bully defenders and beat anybody with pace.

Everybody deh chop pounded yam not potato, guys are bigger and stronger 💪🏿 than him and are able to match him for pace.

You don't have any midfielder with the passing selection or range of Nwakali, not even Iwobi. If you had such midfielder playing in Real Madrid no sane human being will mention Nwakali.

Delusional balderdash and Codswallop

Is that why could not get into Porto B, or Arsenal youth team. Dude has three seasons of anonymous football and relegation in the Segunda Division.

Now in the worst team in the Portuguese league and still anonymous.

You just made a case for Osimhen to be used as a winger in Chukwueze's position while Moffi plays main striker knowing fully well Osimhen will know when to attack and be in the box to attack any cross or pass from the other wing which means SE will be indirectly playing with 2 strikers.

Which also means Osimhen will have to drop deep since he is not the main striker thereby reducing his ridiculous offside stats.

SE may be using Osimhen wrongly.

VO can't play wing proficiently speed yes but, technical ability and skill to get past players on the wing , not good enough.

Players of his skillset aren't runners. They make up their lack of pace with good anticipation and space management.
I feel Nwakali left Arsenal too soon, since he left Arsenal youth loan managers got better with Matersacker and Edu coming onboard.

He didn't leave Arsenal kicked him out he was not good enough too poor.

I can name five players kicked out from Arsenal in his age group and year who have left him in a house of permanent darkness and are doing great now.

Osimhen can play wing proficiently and he has the skill to get past players because all he has to do is one-two passes with other players to get past defenders.

I don't understand why Simon and Chukwueze don't use one-two passes and triangle passes to get past players maybe it's because SE don't do anything during training they just jog around and snap pictures.

You have a drab sense of reasoning at times. Even as an acclaimed football agent you have no idea about Nwakali's struggle to get the UK work permit.
Nwakali even had visa issues which cost him his contract after he was stuck in Nigeria for 3months.
I wonder why you haven't yapped about him earning £5 monthly as the reason he can't trap ball.

given a work permit? Was Awoniyi signed under the special talent clause?

You are the one who is dense and it’s high time you admit that rather than capping non stop to save face

You first goofed by saying that the threshold to sign players non eu players by epl clubs is 10m pounds which I proved you wrong

You goofed again saying nwakali left arsenal because he didn’t qualify for a work permit which I proved you wrong

You goofed again as usual saying Awoniyi finished as the highest goal scorer in the u17 World Cup with nacho and move to liverpool immediately the World Cup but couldn’t get a work permit I proved you

Did you see letter Eto wrote their players?! Foreign borns don't always give their best, and really can't blame them.

They may not understand extent Africans grieve when their teams lose. See what Ivorians did after the match - Destructions everywhere and this will be alien to these foreign borns.

Temmy was once rated and tipped to be world best to extent of him trolling us. Where is he today?! Its not just Nwakali that needs to prove himself, Olise and Eze need to do same. Eze played 90mins against Arsenal yet he couldn't score or assist a goal.

If they are so too good, they will be on payroll of top teams by now, atleast transfer windows still open. Are they better than Nwakali, big no to me. Where is Akpo and Toru now? Una dey wail everyday that they are what we need to be damn solid at back, were'nt they later capped?

They couldn't even make bench.............LMFAO.

Tega is recovering after surgery from an ACL Injury.

Please stop this , how can your compare Eze, Olise to Nwakali that's insulting. You want to use one match against Arsenal to dismiss a 22 year old player. Olise has scored 6 goals from 9 premier league game's this season and one assist. Hoe many has Nwakali scored in his entire 8 years in Europe.

Actually Olise is the number one in form player in the EPL. What is Nwakali please, 🥺
