ChrisKels:
Seriously Taliban burst my head with that reply. I laf skata things

tbaba1234:
I was so sure?? Did i make any comments since you raised your objections apart from that we will see the truth in time??

The Otabor story did not ring true, Otabor has not been particularly outstanding this season to warrant a call-up and there was no direct quote from him in that regard.

BascoVanVeli:
Forget about my objections, you didn't need my objections to rubbish this story so how come you didn't cry fake news on that one?

Solanke that has been getting invites has not exactly been a world beater, even Lookman was getting invites while warming the bench for Everton

ChrisKels:
U are too far from the point. Is Solanke a waste man or not, by Gareth Komekn's standards?

Before u answer that question, read his(Komekn's) standards, if u dont know them already

Chrismario:
I think your taking this waste man stuff too far. I can't remember him calling kc a wasteman.

Icon4s:
That is what is called Selective emotive bias.

Elche goalkeeper Francis Uzoho has been ruled out of the Super Eagles of Nigeria clash against South Africa in the AFCON 2019 Qualifiers due to an injury which will keep him out for four weeks.

As reported by Owngoalnigeria.com earlier today, Uzoho left the pitch on a stretcher after conceding five goals in E‎lche’s 5-1 loss against Cadiz yesterday with an issue related to improper breathing.

The club has now confirmed he won’t be available for the next four weeks which effectively rules him out of Nigeria’s game against South Africa in the AFCON 2019 Qualifiers and also the friendly game against Uganda.

To that effect first choice goalkeeper of Enyimba Theophilus Afelokhai has been contacted to act as cover for the duo of Ikechukwu Ezenwa and Daniel Akpeyi who were the other goalkeepers in the list for the games.

Afelokhai was first choice ahead of Ezenwa in Enyimba’s CAF Confederation Cup campaign, no thanks to the disciplinary issue that made the team to suspend regular first choice shot stopper Fatau Dauda .

TheGoodJoe:
It is too hilarious. Please you guys should cool down. Pity my ribs.

ChrisKels:
Wow congrats bro, soon I go join that league. My regards to the family.

Buh back to the real matter, u haven't stated the real standards abi na off pitch matters hold Solanke too for ground so?

ChrisKels:
The first bolded sums it up. It is obvious u are rather emotional than factual there. U said he hasn't performed, yet u said he aint a waste man? You are funny

The italicized makes Iheanacho look like a god bkus he came up against far superior competitions (strikers) at city than what Solanke had last season and this season at Liverpool, yet KC still stood his ground while ur Solanke faltered and is still faltering . Yet u wanna give excuses for Solanke? You are a comedian

About ur final paragraph, Lol Solanke has stagnated already. Get used to it

Danielnino00:
Solanke wasn't actually signed as a first team player by Klopp. but he got the opportunity of playing a lot with Sturridge and Ings always injured and Origi desperate for more playing time moved to Wolfsburg... that automatically made Solanke the second choice striker last season ..compare his situation with Iheanacho who was prompted to the man city first team and had to battle Aguero and Bony for a place in d team...
Solanke and many opportunities last season. 27 games with some starts. yet he could only manage to score one goal... This season he doesn't even make the bench anymore. He is 21 already. Iheanacho was already a star at his age ...yet oga Southgate finds it easy to defend Solanke and ridicule Iheanacho...


What do u call that ?

ChrisKels:
If u wan join the banter, start from the Genesis so that u dont look outta place. What u just wrote has no correlation with what we discussing, even the Southgate guy would be marveled.

Taliban:
Whether Lester city or Man city, let's not cut off the nose to spite the face. Asides Gareth Komekn, Dominic is a brilliant young footballer but I think he made a wrong choice staying at Liverpool, the odds are stacked against him. El trio rarely get injured and they are always hungry to play. When established players like Sturridge, Shaqiri, Origi are regular bench landlords, he stands no chance. Championship won't be a bad destination for him or back to Holland.

junnyjake:
Hahaha, which one come be Gareth Komekn again


una no go kill person for this thread.

comodo:
Na this dey hold am

Taliban:
Apologies my oga, intention was not to waste your laugh or ribs. But Chriskels u will be a bad person to offend or owe money, chai? Too ditamind!!

ChrisKels:
Oya ooo Taliban and komekn come to ur boy's rescue

I will cry 'fake news' when the evidence points to it. Is this the first time that Nigerian players have failed trials abroad?

Solanke and Lookman are certainly more highly rated than otabor. They have been part of the structure and even won a WC. Solanke is on the books of a top premier league side.Otabor has played only 90 minutes this season in the championship. He has not started any games. Lookman has played in the bundesliga and has played more minutes this season in the premier league. What is the incentive to invite him for either team?? Even Ebere Eze had to show great form to get called up.

komekn:
That's presumption birthed from your imagination in bold.

I don't think anybody has ridiculed KC in comparison to Solanke. How many people have rated KC on the same level as Mbappe, Batshuayi, Ighalo, Aguero etc. Which some of you have done, that's where the larger disagreements have come. He KC is good but not that good yet.

I said then and still do that as a bonafide No. 9 out and out striker, I rate Dominic Solanke more.

If that expression of opinion is what you call by your definition an act of derision. Then I have nothing to say to you.

Once again I don't defend Solanke but taken in context he cost the paltry sum of £3 million or thereabouts. He was never bought as a striker to contend with Sturridge, Firmino, etc just good potential that might come good.

Since you raised the comparison how would you compare £3 million to £25 million.

Solanke made no mistake by joining Liverpool. certainly not when Klopp is manager... Joe Gomez and Trent Alexander Arnold were playing youth football a few years ago but under Klopp,they got enough first team opportunities and proved their worth and today they aren't just established players in Liverpool but also England. Solanke got that same opportunity. he simply couldn't grab it. Iheanacho had d same opportunity at city and he grabbed it...

Joebie:
You mean Iwobi to where Etebo is, and Ighalo to where Musa is?

Ekong my guy...
