TheGoodJoe:
Tell us a top 5 league players with the skill set Kelechi Nwakali offers. Are you saying Christian Uche offers the skill set of Kelechi Nwakali? Also lost the host of others.

skill set wey no fit nail down starting spot in division 3? Abeg I no want rubbish skill . Man can’t even buy a contract in Spain and Portugal division 2, the more I think of this Nwakali agenda the funnier it get

Meliforme:
Uche and Nwakali are not exactly of the same kind.

We do not have Nwakali's kind of profile in the S.E.

Okoye plays for Udinese in the Italian Seria A, Nwabali plays for Chippa United in the South African league (I don't even know what the South African top division league is called).
Will you with your full chest allow Okoye to mind the sticks while Nwabali is available?

As far as the S.E is concerned the aforementioned trio are the best combination, i can think of.

any small thing they’ll quickly rush to bring Nwabali example, is Nwabali chopping bench in South Africa? Take Nwabali to Spain division 2 I promise you he’ll get a 3- years contract even if it’s to act as backup. Nwakali una, mtcheew

Iwobi! 🤩

The way you guys take things seriously for this thread eh, this is a place of relaxation not some school

jihday:
they are better than what we have, you people talk like we have fantastic coaches, the coaches we have here how many have achieved anything with our youth teams or with their clubs in African tournaments? Our last success at U-20 was in 2005, at the time John Obuh was one of the best coaches in Nigeria he couldn’t achieve anything with our youth team. Most times those journey men are better than what we have, I just hope the NFF get a decent one.

Lars Largerback, Berti Voght, I dare to include Rhor and the last man from Portugal aint better than what we have.

Osimhen meets Galatsaray over transfer speculations

Victor Osimhen has met with Galatasaray coach and the management of the Turkish champions following rabid speculations over his immediate future.

Osimhen is on a season-long loan from Napoli, but he also has a break-up clause in this agreement that allows him to leave next month should a club meet Napoli valuation for him.

The player has the final say on whether to stay or leave.

Premier League clubs Manchester United, Chelsea as well as AC Milan and Juventus are interested in signing the 25-year-old striker.

However, according to Takvim, Osimhen has met with head coach Okan Buruk as well as Galatasaray executives during which he assured them he will be with them till the end of the season in the summer.

“I am not going anywhere,” the striker told the club at this meeting.

“The most important thing is that I am happy here.

“I want to be here until the end of the season and enjoy the Turkish championship with Galatasaray.”

Galatasaray were delighted by this assurance.

Top Transfer Expert Gianluca Di Marzio also reported that Osimhen will not consider the many offers before him to quit Galatasaray next month.

“Osimhen will end the season with Galatasaray despite the offers,” he reported.

Rumours swirling around about Roger Schmidt ( Former Benfica)agreeing to take over as Super Eagles coach in January. Huge if true.

Osimhen will only stay at Galatasaray till the end of the season if Galatasaray pays the breakout clause (I don't see them doing so)
There's no way Napoli will allow Osimhen stay at loan in Galatasaray if any club offer to pay the breakout clause by January

As Alex Iwobi gets set to face Arsenal again today and especially in the form he is in, have a read....


I knew my time at Arsenal was up after £72m decision - now I'm in the form of my life at Fulham

Fulham star Alex Iwobi will be aiming to continue his scintillating form in front of goal against former club Arsenal on Sunday afternoon. The Nigeria international spent 15 years representing the Gunners having come through the Hale End academy a few years before the likes of Bukayo Saka and Emile Smith Rowe.

Across his four seasons in the senior team, Iwobi made 149 senior appearances with 15 goals and 24 appearances arriving in that time. Though he was still appearing regularly for the Gunners, Iwobi knew exactly when his spell was coming to an end.

In an interview with The Beautiful Game Podcast, he said: "Arsenal just signed a new winger [Pepe] and there were a few players there who were not ready to go. So they said 'we have received a bid for you, it's a high bid, we're not going to get this sort of money from anywhere else.

"It was a nudge, it's a winger as well someone who is probably going to play in your position. It's up to you sort of thing. So I thought 'cool, they have given me that and Everton's a club that's a very big club that wants me'. I want a new challenge so why not pursue it."

As Iwobi states, he joined Everton in 2019 and spent four years at Goodison Park before signing for Fulham. Under Marco Silva he has become an extremely important player and in his second season at Craven Cottage, has hit new levels of form.

Prior to the 3-1 win over Brighton, he had six goal contributions to his name but that increased significantly when he bagged an excellent brace on Thursday evening against the Seagulls. Following that, Silva was full of praise for Iwobi.

"This evening, we played with Alex Iwobi in a different position. He's an offensive player and did an amazing job this evening, he told Amazon Prime. "It was a big three points for us in a tough game."

Given how Iwobi speaks of his departure from Emirates Stadium, he will certainly be out to prove a few people wrong on Sunday afternoon.

The solution to our midfield lies in the W.I.N triumvirate.

W ilfred Ndidi.
I wobi Alex.
N wakali Kelechi.

I have done the study.

Stop deceiving yourself with that Nwakali Kelechi you are mentioning up and down.

Dude needs to prove himself before getting call up.

I could remember many monikers here argued a player must be playing in top league and be performing before he can get a call into the national team but surprisingly they are using double standard to promote Nwakali.
