hmmm. I beg to differ....
should I name Africans that are worshipped at their clubsides?..

Drogba of Chelsea...
yobo of everton... Infact he ones captained the club..

yeah I know some Africans aren't treated well at Europe but hey it depends on ur class..

u see when eto was at Chelsea.. mourinho dissed him about his age? u saw his reaction... his goal celebration changed.. he even called mourinho a fool and a puppet.. yet he is somewhere in turkey now making his cool cash..

what am trying to say is this.. MIKEL DOESN'T HAVE ANY GUTS... HE IS MORE LIKE A COWARD WHO CANT CHALLENGE AND REQUEST FOR EXPLANATION..
oliseh commending him.. wait do u expect him to criticize him in the first place?

OK if oliseh cherished him.. why bench him against Swaziland?..
what have u to say on same oliseh commending onobie?.

Of course, I am aware of the dearth of players in top European leagues when you compare them to the 1996 Olympics class.

However, we can still get something closer to that.

Finidi George was not eligible to play in that competition simply because of his age.

The answer Is very simple. Moses Simon.

John Obi Mikel’s intermediary has reacted to speculations in the local media suggesting that the Chelsea midfielder has made himself available to coach Samson Siasia for the 2016 Olympic Games.

The defensive midfielder’s intermediary has also provided an update on reports linking the Nigeria international with a move to Chinese Super League club Beijing Guoan and Super Lig giants Galatasaray when the transfer window opens.

“Mikel may leave Chelsea at the end of this season, he has been complaining about his lack of game time. Arsenal wanted him this summer but Chelsea blocked the move, preferring to sell him outside England, ” Mikel’s rep told allnigeriasoccer.com.

“Galatasaray and Beijing Guoan are still in touch with him but nothing has been concluded. There is nothing concrete yet, he has told Beijing Guoan what he wants.

“It is not true that he wants to play in the Olympic Games, which is mainly for U23 players.”
The 28 - year - old Mikel has made nine appearances for Chelsea in all competitions so far this season.

Arsenal would have been a perfect move for Mikel. Why block the move? So he can not make a move to an English club. I hate Chelsea for this. This is a pure Mourinho action. The wicked ma knows Mourinho is a good player but he is determined to stop Mikel from shining.

Then people will call him a coward.

TheGoodJoe:

You say Eto, Drogba, Yobo. That will show you
how difficult it is for Africans. So, how do you
expect Mikel to give Mourinho the Costa
reaction?

terzurum5:


The wicked man had no good plans for Mikel in the first place.

He knew if Man 'U' had signed him, he would one day become rival to his team. That was why he deceived Mikel to join Chelseaa FC.

He has allowed the same coward thinking to becloud his sense of judgement this time around by refusing to sell him to good Clubs that were keen about his signature. The truth shall one day come out from it's hiding place.

Mourinho, 'The Evil One'.

.@krattoss, you Nigerians can throw words around, see your mouth like mediocre, if you call someone like Mikel that has won 80% of awards any African player can win, what will you call people like Odemwingie and Martins?

Even JJ Okocha doesn't have the kind of CV Mikel has despite all the mouth action about him, yet you call him mediocre. If Mikel's career and his achievements can be tagged 'mediocre"....then I want to be mediocre

TheGoodJoe:


Moses Simon first of all, is already in the squad. He is a Super Eagles player. I mean among the foreign base players you want Nigeria to give a chance.

Moses Simon operates mostly on the left flank, While [b]Tongoli Tonbara [/b]operates from the right.

Finidi George could have come in as one of the overage players. Oruma could have played Amokachi's role and Finidi, replace Tijani Babangida.

But, the team was so star Studded that the best winger in the World could not make a cut in the team.

mikels success is one of many cases I ve seen luck play out... he is one lucky of a guy...

how many individual award has he won other than team collective laurels...?
u mentioned martins?... Martins won the carling cup for Birmingham when he scored the lucrative winning goal against arsenal some years back..

he won the player of the year for his mls club seatle sounders..
he is their highest goal scorer and has won many MVP awards many times.....

as for odemwingie... u and I know that injuries has marred his football carier....

but as for Mikel.. reverse is the case... .

how can a person that calls himself a proffesional player..
score as little as below 6 goals in almost two hundred and something appearances?.. even defenders scored more than him..

..how can a player who has P. A, agent, be warming a bench at his club.. yet doesn't request to leave or contract reviews?..

many coaches including siasia has advices him many a times to leave that Chelsea of a club.. but guess what? he doesn't care so far as he receivs his 100k every Friday...

MIKEL IS JUST LUCKY TO BE IN A WINNING TEAM.

U know the thing is forgiveness believes so much in those Anglo-Nigerian players. Which of Akpom, Aneke, Iorfa, Iwobi, Ibe, Solanke etc is as good as Success, Iheanacho, Simon, Ezekiel, Etebor, Saviour, Azubuike, Dimgba etc? None if u ask me.

robosky02:


he has pass his prime
dont think we need him

forgiveness:


Yes oo. I believe so must in them after I saw what Victor Moses brought to the table at Nations Cup. At least, there must be another Anglo-Nigerian better than him.

Akpom and Ibe are not in my list because they have pledged their allegiance to play for England while Iwobi can't displace(he deserves a chance thou) the one's on ground

Please don't compare Ibe with Saviour, Success and Dimgba because he's miles ahead of them. Abegi.

Aneke is miles ahead of Azubuike.

Iorfa is a right back player so there's no need to compare him with the one's you listed.

Solanke, have you seen him played before?

He is a prolific goal scorer and highly skillful player. I can say he is more skilful and prolific in front of goal than Success and Iheancho.

Nevertheless, Success, Iheanacho, Simon, Etebor, Ezekiel and Azubuike are all included in my list. The rest are not good enough.

Tell me, which club is Saviour playing for currently and how many matches has he played this season?

BascoVanVeli:


Success and Iheanacho are miles ahead of any player you have mentioned and to say that what's his face is more skilled than Iheanacho in front of goal is not true.

BascoVanVeli:



It is not about money his team won't sell him and I wouldn't call being on this current Chealsea luck.

safarigirl:
who tpls you he's okay there?

His efforts have been frustrated.... meanwhile, he's lucky to be in a winning team? So he wasn't instrumental to Chelsea's UCL win or Nigeria's AFCON win? He was just a lucky SOB riding on the talent of others?

Bros, if no be say na December we dey, I know wetin I for tell you this morning.


It is impossible to win that many medals on mere luck especially as it was Mikel that marshalled the midfield at important games. Stop talking baseless things and embarrassing your knowledge of footy

krattoss:
yes Chelsea can't sell him... but can't he force his way out?..
can't he follow the steps of Cech, Mata,..

ever heard of cancellation of contract via mutual consent?

Icon4s:


If Victor Moses is the best Anglo-Nigerian to have ever played for the Super Eagles then I am not impressed.

U know the problem? The English league is simply over-rated. The earlier u realize that the better.

Godwin Saviour plays for KV Oostende of Belgium. He has played only 2 games for his club this season and scored 1goal which is not abnormal for a young player that jst got signed up at the beginning of this season. His fate is similar to Moses Simon in terms of game time this season. And see what Simon in playing in the Super Eagles. We saw Saviour shine during the Olympic qualifying games against Congo.

forgiveness:


Solanke, have you seen him played before?

He is a prolific goal scorer and highly skillful player. I can say he is more skilful and prolific in front of goal than Success and Iheancho.

Icon4s:


Tongoli Tonbara, a very skillful player bt not so efficient. He will have to fight for that position with Stanley Dimgba and Godwin Saviour.
Alternatively he can b experimented at the centre AM role jst behind the main striker, hey but Kingsley Sokari, Kelechi Iheanacho and Oghenekaro Etebo are already lined up there. Etebo also plays from the wings. This team is so talented up-front that's y I am of the opinion that we dnt need any over-aged player upfront. Line this attack minded midfielders behind 'the beast' called Success and we are good to go.

Icon4s:


One of the reasons I dnt like Mourinho. He kills the careers of players. That was how he also stopped Demba Ba's move to Arsenal only to sell him to a Ukrainean club. There is no fair play in his coaching philosophy at all. Any player that scores against Chelsea he buys and put on the bench just to deplete that team.
I will keep saying it that Mourinho destroyed Mikel. He is really 'The Evil One'

These are the names of the foreign based players I listed. Dominic solanke(Striker & Attacking Midfield), Moses Odubanjo(right back) , Iorfa(right back), Tiago Ilori(center back, Right back or Defensive Midfield) and Manuel Akanji ( Center back). You can see that they are not contending for that position.

The players in that position are Michael Olaitan and Imoh-ezekiel.

Which of these should we drop for Saviour and Tongoli Tonbara?

forgiveness:
My dream team


...................... Daniel

Odubanjo........ Omerue....Tiago........Madu.................


..................Aneke......... Onazi....................


........Simon ...........Iheanacho........... Success


........................ Martins


Substitutes:
Keepers: Alampasu,

Defeners: Manuel Akanji, Elohor Ekpolo, Derek Osadebe and Abdullahi-shehu.

Midfielders: Abdul Ajagun, Azubike Okechuchwu, Oghenekaro Etebor.

Attackers: Dominic solanke, Femi Ajayi, Imoh Ezekiel and Michael Olaitan.

If we consider talent over sentiment, these players tower above the rest.

Olaitan and Imoh Ezekiel are not natural wingers. They are natural strikers. Those roles are already taken by the likes of Awoniyi, Success, Nacho and others.

It is better we play natural wingers on the wings than convert strikers to play there. If we did not have Natural wingers, we can talk of converting but we do.
