MallamSpicey:
As far as midfield goes, these are the players that should form the core and depth of our MF going forward. Enough of the daft habits of recycling the same 3 or 4 midfielders every time who offers us absolutely no creativity.

1. Iwobi- I honestly don't really rate him that highly as I feel he has fallen off but he still offers experience at least. But to be fair to Iwobi, Peseiro played him out of position at the AFCON and nullified his attacking qualities with all the defensive pivot duties he was tasked with...Iwobi IS NOT A DM, and can't thrive in a 2 man midfield system where he has to press ,Iwobi isn't that guy.

2. Ndidi- The impact of Ndidi can't be emphasized enough, he was sorely missed at the AFCON especially with his experience and improved ability to press high thanks to his Leicester form...An Onyeka/Ndidi anchorship would have given Iwobi more freedom to influence his creative duties more.

3. Frank Onyeka- I believe he announced his name in a big way at the AFCON, absolute Trojan workhorse who gives his all for the team and does the dirty work like no other...Ndidi will find joy pairing with him since he loves to bomb forward to join the attack and can trust Frank the Tank to mop up any mistakes behind him.

4. Michael Folrunsho- Needs no introduction, this is one player who will give you work-rate and a good eye for passing abilities, I don't know why NFF haven't approached and capped him yet when he is still in the fringe radar of Italy.

5. Nwakali- somewhat of an enigma as much as a fan's favorite, in the eyes of many he's supposed to be our own Pirlo...I personally think Nwakali would have fit so perfectly like a glove in that 343 formation Peseiro used at the AFCON...especially when you factor in his set piece abilities and good passing IQ (seems like an opportunity missed).

6. Fisayo Dele-Bashiru- This lad should be tried out as that under-study to Iwobi, not only does he have a good creative ability to his game, he offers work rate as well and can actually pop up with goals here and there. I don't know we never saw more of him after his last cameo in the Mozambique friendly game last year.

6. Tim Iroegbulam- I have watched this kid and he is definitely a baller, he's a perfect modern day Box2Box midfielder who can dribble well and pass brilliantly as well, now back to Aston Villa from loan and he's one to watch...read somewhere he's not far off the radar of an international call up to Nigeria soon.

8. Ifeanyi Matthew- When you want a very cerebral and composed midfielder who plays with the finesse of a prime Mikel, look no further than this lad. I daresay the ONLY reason he has not been called up yet to the SE is because he plays in the Swiss league, and has no connection to "Top Ogas in the NFF" that he can bribe.

Fringe players to be looked at: Daniel Daga, Ebenezer Akinsanmiro, Victor Eletu, Obinna Nwobodo, Ibrahim Olawoyin and Tochukwu Nnadi.

Whoever will be the coach whether Peseiro or not will have to start building our midfield around these players if he really wants to succeed. The only reason we lost that final to Ivory Coast was down to a paper thin and overworked midfield, and we had no bench to balance it out.

Notice how I didn't include Aribo, cause I honestly think he's currently not good enough to be a mainstay player in that team. Aribo needs to fight his way back at his club to prove his hunger cause a division 2 bench warmer who gets sparse minutes every now and then isn't deserving of a place in a serious nation team.

I just checked Aribo's stats and I could see he started 6 out 9 last matches.

Good for him but he should do more, not implying he isn't good enough never to be called up again cause I know there's a really good player in Aribo...but truth is Aribo has fallen down the pecking order so bad in that midfield that even Peseiro preferred benching him almost all tournament that he made the #10 shirt look embarrassing to wear... That's not a good look on his part (let's leave sentiments aside and be honest for once).

Yes, he should go. Okoye will be in contention for the number 1 spot. He needs to earn the money hopefully they offer him 5 years contract

I'm in support of Osimhen moving to PSG. He has achieved it all at Serie A. it will be a time to reset, be the best in Ligue 1, then launch himself again to a bigger destination -- EPL?

See how you're so so sure about this and calling someone solid bang average. If someone calls your more technical faves bang average, you no go wan gree now o.

The Belgium league is not a top league in Europe, it's rated number 8. It's essentially a stepping stone for the better players to move on.

The top players in this league don't stay too long before moving on to bigger and better clubs and leagues. The average players will.be there for a lot longer.

Consider Ndidi left his local academy 14 January 2015 Nath Boys Academy with a transfer fee of €180,000. On the 30 of January two after leaving Nigeria. He played his first game for Genk in the Belgium league.

He was in the Belgium league for one and half season before Leicester City payed in December 2016 a fee of £17milion by January 7th Ndidi was playing in the EPL.

VO played one season in Belgium league before going to Lille.

These are top players that's why they moved so quickly.

Do you truly think Onyedika is a top player ❓or just an average one in the Belgium league.⁉️

I want to see exceptional player's in the SE not bang average ones like Onyedika who are essentially one dimensional DM.

I do think right now Ovie and Tega are below average, however put them on the Belgium league and they be well above average. But as much as they are below average in my opinion they are far more technically superior and skilful than Onyedika. Who was described as being very skilful.

Tim Iroegbunam is on a different trajectory of quality.

Seria A is rated higher than French league one.

With regards to 🤑💸💰 great move but football ⚽ I'm not so sure.

First of all he has to meet great expectations and always be compared to Mbappe, that's undue pressure.
