Yahaya is nt a striker. Awoniyi only missed d first game.

Yahaya is by far a more skillful player.
Thankfully they are both still elligible for d next U20.

I wish Amuneke invites them both. Awoniyi may nt even make d U20 final list as he may have d ff players to compete with:
Victor Osimhen
Orji Okonkwo
Chidera Eze
Sadiq Umar

However, Yahaya on his part i believe can easily walk into d starting 11 of dat team

Awoniyi was a disaster. Osimhen was even better.

forgiveness:
I saw Awoniyi at the Africa Olympics football qualifiers. The team was bad I mean very bad. So, how do you expect him to shine without a good passer?

Yes, he was very porous in that match and recently but talent na talent and you can't just loose it in a day.

How did he stall? He saw more games in a better league than Musa Yahaya last season.

So, how did he stall? Siasia just wan destroy that boy career by forcing him into the Olympic Football team.

The boy na small boy compare to his peers. He lacks confidence and he is too weak to face tough defenders but that doesn't remove an atom of talent from him.


He needs to chop akpu and carry weight for his stamina.

Osimhen was far more dangerous than Awoniyi. Awoniyi has looked bad, not just for the Olympic team but in the german second division. Maybe he needs to be moved up slowly. If i have a team right now, i will pick Osimhen ahead of Awoniyi.

Yahaya had contractual issues but when it was sorted, he looked awesome. Porto saw enough in his short spell to snap him up. He is still developing but he is way ahead of Awoniyi right now.

forgiveness:
If Awoniyi is average Nwakali is below average.

If he is why loan him out?

Yes, you're right. That is why Liverpool spotted him.

Compare what? Nwakali wey no fit break into that team na em you wan take compare Awoniyi, one of the best in that tournament.

That enough shows Nwakali set na average players full am. I never fancy that set. They won due to Barcelona style of play and that's all.

forgiveness:
Yes! Osimhen was far more dangerous than Awoniyi in that tournament.

Maybe something is wrong with the lad.

If Awoniyi was not good, no German team would have used him. The fact that he played more games baffled me because I know German teams don't work with unfit players.

I don't know what you used in measuring his performance but why was he used consistently?

I would like to see Yahaya play once again to have a proper assessment of his talent.

Who did they loan out?

It seems you are referring to Chidiebere Nwakali. That's not whom they are talking about.

Have you heard of Kelechi Nwakali before. He was the best player at the last U17. He is at Arsenal. Wenger gave him Kanu Nwankwo's no, 25. He is a potentially world-class player.

He has more potential than Awoniyi.

tbaba1234:
He kept firing blanks and missing chances..

Let us not forget that his team got relegated.

forgiveness:
I see but how come they kept using miss firing and blunt Awoniyi?

Even Kanu nwankwo team don suffer relegation before, Okocha team don suffer relegation before, Martin team don suffer relegation before, Ahmed Musa team don suffer relegation before etc.

So, Wetin change for those players?

forgiveness:
Hmm! I see. Thanks

Is he not the lad Emmanuel Amuneke raised his stock with the duty of taken penalties?

The potentially world class talents that could not break into Iheanacho and Awoniyi set?


Kelechi Nwakali to me is not.....

I saw that team from the beginning to the end. I can only see Osimhen and one or two other players. The rest na...

Musa was one of the best performers when venlo were relegeted. The same can not be said of Awoniyi.

I pray for one Ndidi transfer every season - Genk President

Ndidi (middle) when he signed for Genk in January 2015

by Samm Audu

The President of KRC Genk has revealed the Belgian club will now hope to make a good transfer business every season as they did in the case of Nigeria international Wilfred Ndidi.


“The Genk President has said he wishes to do a good transfer business every season like they did with Ndidi, where they bought him for almost nothing and could now sell him for a little fortune,” a source told AfricaFootball.com.


It was understood Genk paid Nath Boys of Lagos less than $200,000 in January 2015.


And a year later, the Belgian club rejected a six million Euros bid for the defender-turned-midfielder from German Bundesliga club Hamburg.


And now reports suggest Premier League side Watford are ready to pay even more for the player, but Genk have insisted they won’t be selling a player who made 38 appearances and scored four goals in the league for his club to qualify to feature in the UEFA Europa League.


The exciting Nigeria star first went on trials to Genk in January 2014, before he signed a professional career with the club after he clocked 18 in December 2014.


He still has two more years on this contract at Genk.

This guy will not kill me. So the scouts of Arsenal, which is one of the best in the world, only saw the penalties he took? Arsene Wenger with a great eye for talent only saw penalties. Even the group of tacticians at the U17 who voted him as the best in the tournament only saw his penalties?

Oga, you didn't see his leadership qualities, his range of long passes, the way he calms the tempo and speeds it up when the need arises, his excellent freekicks and the way he packs shots.

Na wa to you o.

TheGoodJoe:
forgiveness is leaving out the part that the only reason Chidebere Nwakali and Yahaya are not in the EPL is because of Work Permit issues. There was a lot of promotion in Tottenham and lesser talents get the chances.

The Debate of Awo and Yahaya does not even add up. tbaba1234 is right listing Yahaya among the World Class talents we have.

Awoniyi has a lot of work to do to measure up. He can not continue making the same finishing mistakes for over three years. Awo should not waste his ability and start training his finishing.

lakesidepapa:
I almost laughed out my belly off when i red the comments.. As in, it's funny someone could make such comment, the whole comment is reverse.
Is it easy for a player to clinch U17 MVP?

No mind the guy. Anytime he wants to defend his Yo.....(hehehe) boys, na so so misyarn he go dey misyarn. You no see that Ajagun and Taye Taiwo argument too? Forgetting that some of the us here sef na confirm odudu... pikin. But we no dey do sentiments for team selection.

Forgiveness, abi I lie?

It is his choice but it doesn't change the fact on ground on what I know.

Even Isaac Success dey miss fire like crazy for La liga, face to face with keepers live and direct. I saw it with two na.ked eyes.

Compare Tottenham with Liverpool then you will understand.

Isaac Success played from the wings and was voted Granada's player of the season... Awoniyi is not yet on the same level.

forgiveness:
No no no! you are getting me wrong. I defend the defendable no sentiments attached.

Some said Awoniyi is among the top 5 players that graduated from the U17 but I disagree because I saw them play together and he was far better than Yahaya.

Ajagun deserved to have played in the National team ahead of some players but I no wan mention name..


Who is the best left back Nigeria ever produced?

Na Taye Taiwo be the answer. I get facts to prove am.

So you be Omo Odu....... me I no check that one ooooo. I am a defender of Justice.

TheGoodJoe:

Success missed but you can not compare their missing rate. You can not even compare their finishing ability. Awo has the talent to make a fine striker. I have never stopped believing that and it is unfortunate the Work Permit issue affected Awo. I believe if he worked in Anfield with the Reserve attacking coaches, they would have polished his finishing.

However, when talking of talents, raw talent, Yahaya is a gem and a big class above Awo.

forgiveness:
After how many season?

Of course, Isaac is not on the same level but em dey miss fire wella and that's my point.

TheGoodJoe:
Like seriously, you take Taiye Taiwo as a better talent than Celestine Babayaro. At all they do not match.

forgiveness:
You last statement doesn't and can't annul the fact that both played in the same team but one outclassed one. Awoniyi was better.

They both sat for exams, one did better than the other. So, tell who got the talent?

forgiveness:
Of course, we check records and facts. You can bring it on and finish it once for all.

No no no! you are getting me wrong. I defend the defendable no sentiments attached.
