Did Celestine Babayaro ever had that honour to be called CAF young player of the year? :oChai!

TheGoodJoe:

You can see how myopic your arguments get. Who was Celestine going to topple then. Was it Okocha or Kanu Nwankwo or Victor Ikpeba. Haba. These men were legends now.

BascoVanVeli:
Guy lockup.

There is nothing like lockup. Fact na fact and nothing man can do about it.

Leave Osimhen alone, you had plenty options to boost your attack. Obaje, Chikatara and Samuel would have added value to your attack.

forgiveness:
Hmm! Can you please tell me how many he missed?

joseph1013:
LOL. Bros you are a troll How can you compare Cristiano Ronaldo with Yahaya. Haba. Which player apart from Messi is on the same level as Ronaldo? That's a very unfair comparison.

Why are you doing this na?

I hope they both do well, especially for Awoniyi to work on his finishing. He's got what it takes to make it.

forgiveness:
Missing prowess of Awoniyi com turn to marketing of Yahaya.

He was a winger in most of those matches. No excuse!

After all, Ronaldo is not a point man but still had more chances than many point men yet he scores when he sees the opportunity. That can't said about Yahaya.

Chai! Na even one assist em get and one of the goals he scored was as a result of Awoniyi's selflessness to assist him to had scored. Chai!

Omeruo

by Samm Audu

AfricanFootball.com has specially gathered that Chelsea have turned down a last-minute bid by Spanish La Liga side Celta Vigo for Nigeria international Kenneth Omeruo.


Omeruo, 22, who is currently training with Chelsea in London, will therefore still go on a season-long loan to Turkish champions Besiktas.


“Top officials said Celta Vigo tried to sign Omeruo this week on loan, but their interest was late in coming as Chelsea have already agreed with Besiktas on the player,” a source informed AfricanFootball.com


Central defender Omeruo is heading off on his fourth loan away from Stamford Bridge after he was shipped out to Dutch club ADO Den Haag, Middlesbrough and Kasimpasa by ‘The Blues’.

He still has two years left on his Chelsea contract.


Celta Vigo will feature in this season’s UEFA Europa League after they finished sixth in La Liga.

Where you go hide na? Abi you ma Siasia don offend you?

TheGoodJoe:

He also did not invite Blessing Eleke although I believe Blessing Eleke's club would not release him.

BascoVanVeli:
Lol not Siasia just a bit busy but i always look in.

TheGoodJoe:

That was a seven game tournament. Will you say Taiwo was a better player than Silva, Fabregas and Llorente? That is another weak argument. Spain had a poor tournament and crashed out early.

If Spain went farther, Taiwo would not grace that award.

In our team back then, there was a lot of star players within Babayaro's age. It was very logical that Babayaro will not win the CAF young player of the year. At that time, Kanu among the top ten players in the World. Not long from there, Ikpeba was one of the most lethal forwards in the game. Would Taiwo smell Jersey in that team, talkless of winning award.

Kudos to Taiwo winning the third best player of that tournament. But, he was not explosive. If he was that explosive, a bigger club would have come for him.

Look at Mikel, he was refreshingly outstanding and Manchester United and Chelsea battled for him. Taiye Taiwo was not that explosive. He scored some power driven goals but his play would never be in the class of the likes of Jordi Alba, Abidal, Alaba, Lizarazu and many more.

TheGoodJoe:


No one says Taiye Taiwo is not good. However, Taiwo would not grace those lists if he was in the German league, Italian, Spanish or EPL. He is not in that class now.

Reigning in Marseille in not the same as reigning in Chelsea. Is so simple. You can run around records to hide that simple fact. His reign was in Marseille. Taiwo would not have kept a regular position in any big club.

When he went to AC Milan, did Taiwo not vanish? That is what I mean. He could not make an impact or keep a regular place for one season.

BascoVanVeli:
U should know better than to stand on caf awards. By that age Babayaro had already won u-17, olympics and played in the champions league. It is better not to compare cuz u then look like u are bashing the other.

forgiveness:
I no talk am! Say em must find excuses.

Taye Taiwo was far better than Fabregas, Llorente and Silver in that tournament hence the third best player of the tournament awarded to him.

'if Spain went farther.. ' you mean Spain had better players than Argentina with Messi, Aguero, Fenando Gago?

Tell me which of those Spanish players are better than Aguero?

Taye Taiwo was voted ahead of Aguero.
Fact! Maka why?
Or those who voted were blind ko?
He was not explosive but he was voted as the third best player.

Abegi, find better excuse.

So, during the time of Taye Taiwo there was drought of talented young players ba? Continue


This is the team Taye Taiwo dey roll with. Now, compare them with those on ya list.


We are comparing Celestine Babayaro with Taye Taiwo and not Lizarazu and Abidal. Taye Taiwo pass am

forgiveness:
But he grace that list ahead of those playing in those league.

You even stand better chances of winning in those league but Taye Taiwo grace the list against all odds. That is the koko.

Point of correction, Taye Taiwo didn't not only reigned in Ligue 1 but also reigned as the best left back in Africa 3 good times.


He went to Ac Milan at the wrong time. He should have gone to Real Madrid. See big big Clubs name.

tbaba1234:
They might... Playing in the olympics will raise Eleke's value whenever the club wants to sell.

TheGoodJoe:



Me, I know you are browsing Wikipedia and just talking. You said which Spanish players are better than Aguero. Me I will ask you where Taye Taiwo is today and which big club in football today did Taye Taiwo keep a regualar shirt over the likes of

Fabregas => Currently in Chelsea.
Silva => Currently in Manchester City
Llorente => Currently in Sevilla, just left Juventus.

Who is Taye Taiwo in European football. You argue things you do not know. Browsing Wikipedia and claiming knowledge shows how limited your knowledge of the facts is.

The Spanish sides were the favorite. They were the U17 Champions in 2003 before that tourney in 2005. They were good and their first match was electric. Llorente scored five goals in that game. This is not browsing Wiki. I watched it. I believed they would win it. Fabregas went on to play in a Champions League finals.

It was a shocker and an upset that they went out. It did not mean Taiwo was better than them or would ever get to that level. Ligue 1 is Taiwo's level. If he was special as you make him, a top scout would have removed him from Marseille just as Essien was hot cake in Ligue 1.

In that tournament, Taiwo was no where better than Rafinha. You did not watch most games. Just browsing. I watched. I can even tell you Rafinha was called Rafael then.

He was too good and he was clearly the best player for Brazil.

There was a time some years back, my younger sister asked me what happened to Rafael. She said she did not hear about him after that time with Mikel. This is a girl that does not watch ball at all. I doubt she even knows Everton but she remembered Rafael.

Taiwo scored some good long range goals and we went far. He was not exceptional to attract big clubs or make a stamp in Europe. No big games to class him a legend.

I know you have a poor judgment of football after your Solanke better than Iheanacho argument and it shines in all your arguments. Similar illogical ratings of players from those that watch the games.

If you watched 2005 well, you will know Taiwo was not as good as the likes of Silva and Fabregas and Rafinha.

Just as years from now, people will look at stats and team of the tournament and place Renato Sanches as a better player than Luka Modric in this Euros. But, those who watched most matches will know Luka Modric was special.

Babayaro played lots of great games. Put memorable performances. Lasted in a top team and was part of one of the great revolution of English football. It was all Manchester United and Liverpool till Arsene Wenger spoilt the Party and then Chelsea rose to disrupt the flow.

You can not browse Wikipedia to understand how Babayaro played to reach a level to start in the Super Cup finals against Real Madrid when Chelsea won the European cup against a Super talented Real Madrid with the likes of Raul, Seedorf, Guti etc.

TheGoodJoe:

You can see another myopic statement. How can a player who can not hack it in AC Milan and QPR hack it in Real Madrid. LOL. Real Madrid or Valencia or Chelsea never thought of him. Taiwo is not in that level.
