Iorfa to Leicester City. This January. You heard it first here! Komekn must be smiling now.

Very very suprised indeed l don't believe it.

Just yesterday evening l was in personal conversation with someone that initiates and directs the process of and our conversation did touch one EPL club but not Leicester.

So l can say that's simply NOT TRUE.

Dominic is in the best place he could be from a financial perspective. Come May 2019 he becomes a free agent.

His pedigree is already established after 5 consecutive seasons in the championship. Getting a club will not be problematic. But at the end he will be laughing all the way to the bank.


However he can choose to go in the January for a token fee, if bad belle will allow Wolves to let him go.

The hype is not coming from us here in naija, it is coming from Spain. We didn't name him Samu they did. We didn't call him one of the brightest talents in La Liga, they did. So if u have a problem with that take it up with the folks at the best league in the world. I would think they know a thing or two about talent over there.

Who is they ❓ Barcelona and Real Madrid they is anything and everything.

Every player will get a mention whether they are in the C division of the league or not.

It's what you do with that mention that becomes the issue you can take it for what is professional recognition or you can Over state matters and it turn it into HYPE.

brother there is nothing wrong with the picture.
Matches are not been player there for long, so there is no need for unnecessary grass maintainance.
If need for any match to be played there, only little touches is needed to put everything back in place.

Wembley stadium sometimes look unkept especially when NFL is held there prior to any epl.

U guys like raising unnecesary eyebrows

groundnutoil:
so because we are Nigeria every other African should just open their nyash for us and get spanked because it only us that want to win and play football

you do also no that all this north African countries do also loose away even to clubs to low African countries

what even made you think Nigeria is a football powerhouse
we haven't reached the World Cup quarter final t
we have never won an under 20 world cup
we aren't even 3rd if you are counting countries with most afcon trophies with all our internationals playing abroad

when last did we even win an Africa best player award
yet here you are expecting every African country to bow to us because we answer Nigeria
South Africa was said to have the best league in Africa how many time have they won the caf competitions
England with its league has never won euros
am sorry but this your we ought to be logic that we should be trashing everybody is silly

To your first question at bolded... My answer is A RESOUNDING YES!!. Infact I will go further to say that if they refuse to bend over and get fuccked, then we flog them mercilessly into submission by out playing them just like Rangers did in Ethiopia.

If you think I am too harsh by saying this, then I would ask you a question.

Would Lobi had knocked out any of these Arab teams at this stage of the competition? Or would Al Ahly or Esperance or Zamalek had lost to any of Enyimba, Kano pillars Rangers or Heartland at this stage?... He'll No!

Why because they have the Pedigree, experience and fear factor. Therefore Enyimba or any of our NPFL team will gladly bend over and get fuccked or they will forcefully do it.


As for the second bolded, until you provide me with any other country in Africa that can challenge us head on in National laurels won at all Cadre both in Africa and the world, only then will I back down.

We have proven ourselves at all levels football and therefore deserve all the chest beating. I need not school you on what you already know.

As for me I desire greatness from our League but if you want to continue to wallow in mediocrity, then by all means, count me out!

Better than league one sides I tell u that much. Even the Barcelona that u are talking about gave the boy a nod of approval. Before Mbappe scored a goal in the world cup final there was "o la la" by Henry. Calling something like it is should not be considered hype.

tbaba1234:
Young players need a good coach to give them opportunities. Unai Emery gave Mbappe an opportunity but he could easily have kept him in the youth team for a few more years and buy more experienced stars.

It is way too premature to compare Chukwueze to Mbappe but maybe he would get a similar push by the coach.

What you are suggesting by comparison is that if Unai was Chukwueze manager he would be playing first team in Monaco or anywhere else Unai is a Manager.

If that's the case, why didn't Unai immediately call Reise Nelson into the first team. An 18 year old winger who has played 9 games in the Bundesliga for Hoffenhiem and scored 6 goals this season.

So that comparison draws no water.

I no deh catch dis your flow at all.

Which one be, " Better than league one sides "

"Barcelona gave him a nod" Who them give nod❓ If club like player dem go buy the player naa. Argument no deh, what is nod ❓

Mbappe had played three seasons of top flight first team football. "When pikin wash hand, ee deh follow King chop" He waa on the radar of every top club in Europe, he had already made a name before the world cup.

Odion Ighalo will be a top transfer target for Chinese Super League clubs, but they will have to match the 20 million pounds relegated Changchun Yatai splashed to sign him two years ago, according to the player’s representatives.

“Odion won’t go on a cheap. His club will want to recoup what they spent on him,” one of the Super Eagles strikers informed only SCORENigeria



There is expected to be serious interest in the CSL when the transfer window re-opens in China on January 4.

The former Watford striker has delivered in his two seasons in China – 15 goals in his debut season in 2017 and 21 goals this year.

He was six goals shy of Goal King Wu Lei of champions Shanghai SIPG.

Pls Olanrewaju Ksyode lost his scoring boots. I no dey hear about him again. Even Ajagun etc

You hype league one players but now you want to tell us that a boy who broke into a la liga side from the youth team is not worth our attention.

Mbappe was playing at Monaco when Henry made that comment so that was his first season as a pro.

Nawa oo. did u see me complaining/

bossto:
Good morning ladies and gentlemen!... I wanna appreciate you guys for keeping this thread lively.. I always follow this thread and I enjoy every minute I spend here....I really do.


In fact reading posts here is a recipe for a peace of mind.I can't go a day without coming in here to what's up!..Even when my sub expires I use freebasics cos I am still an undergraduate having some challenges finance wise.

Nice one Elders!!!

The feeling is mutual bro.

Since you enjoy it so much maybe you should consider participating more in our discussions here. So others can learn from you too....

Mentioning a player doesn't mean hype, that's your first mistake.

Then go back to the principle measurement that I have talked about repeatedly non stop.

If you are the outstanding player in your league and club irrespective or that league you should be looked at. That proposition is given great credence because we simply don't have any Finidi, Okocha, Yekini, Ikpeba Oliseh type players playing in top leagues and teams anymore.

Nonetheless, I have substantiated that point with players who leaped frogged from League one and Championship to become outstanding in the EPL without break. Players such as Dele Alli. Gomez, Ademola, Maddison, Mason Holdgate, Rob Holding etc, etc.

We currently have a situation where the NFF identified two outstanding talents before anybody knew thier names including myself. Unjustifiably called to the SE IMO at the time, but have proven themselves beyond all doubt. I am talking about Ebere Eze and Josh Maja the NFF is busy playing kalo kalo. They are both on the radar of EPL clubs after three seasons of first team football.

I haven't hyped Chuks Aneke what I have said he is outstanding in league 2 and club. He was thier outstanding player in league one last season and he is still outstanding now. They refused to sell him to a plethora of Championship clubs .


That's not hype the statistics speak for themselves.
He has done incredibly well to come back after near two years with Injury out of the game.

My comments are very clear with regards to Chukwueze. You are being irrationally Euphoric and over hyping a player who has played barely 6 games in La Liga in his first season.

l am being pragmatic and realistic but still positively expectant, but without unnecessary hyping that can easily derail a player.

I have seen so many youth players come and go some have been one season wonders and it's over.

My view is he should remain in Villareal develop and create consistency in a team that gives opportunity to young players.

komekn:


Absolutely but taken in context, in the context of Liverpool with World class players. He becomes average.

But in Wolfsburg he walked straight in.

but the moment they saw he was a fraud they kicked him out, reason why they didn't make his loan deal permanent

komekn:


What you are suggesting by comparison is that if Unai was Chukwueze manager he would be playing first team in Monaco or anywhere else Unai is a Manager.

So that comparison draws no water.

so he should go and drag him from BuLi to come and start benching Laca and/or Auba? Why did you call Nelson sef, did you not see him giving 18years old Emile Rowe Smith chances? Or 19years old Guendozi who was initially bought for the future who's sealed a spot in the first team? Bros take your time o, be objective and not biase

What a shame

If I may come in on this Chukwueze issue, firstly comparing him with Mbappe is not fair, even though they are of same age. You cannot compare the opportunities for development both players had. That aside Chukwueze cannot match Mbappe talent-wise.

That aside, I do not agree that Chukwueze has not done enough to deserve a SE call up. Or he has not done enough to deserve the rating he gets here. Chukwueze is a product of our Youth System. We saw what he did at the U17 and we have closely monitored his progress and he has continued to improve and leave up to his rating.

Don't get me wrong I am not rating him based only on his U17 outing but also his continued development and recent performances for Villa Real. I watched the Barca. Vs Villarreal game with a friend and he asked me "why is this boy not playing for the Super Eagles?" I just told him we just capped him in a friendly against Uganda. Not all football fans follow national team football like we do here.

I personally tip Chukwueze to fluorish to become a major Attacking force in the Super Eagles but whether he will rub shoulders with the best in the world I cannot say.

Alright!!. No p

On Danjuma from OGN

” Injury made him miss the recent games for the Dutch national team but it’s clear to see why he was hurriedly capped by the Netherlands. He isn’t even the best player among the forwards at U21 level, his debut came to many as a surprise but you have to understand his case”, Roland Mark told Owngoalnigeria.com.

” Look he spoke about been open to representing Nigeria at senior level after a game for the U21s. Coach of the senior national team of Netherlands Ronald Koeman was among the people who criticised how Tyronne Ebuehi was lost to Nigeria. His move is to keep away from Nigeria, something they didn’t do with Hakim Ziyech who now plays for Morocco “, he concluded.

I’m not crying over Danjuma. He is not a big loss. We have several decent wingers who have not even gotten a call up.

Agreed.

Why is a young player invited to the SE after just 2 games in LA Liga, its essentially we just don't have many true promising young talents in top leagues anymore. I can totally understand the euphoric adoration he gets but i stand on the side of optimistic caution. i.e. small, small lets not force him to run when he has just started walking.

But is there not some double standard, why have Ebere and Josh Maja not been invited to the SE.

Joebie:

Samu's emergence has made sure of it.

I won’t advice any FB winger to commit to Nigeria now. Their future with Nigeria is not certain. Too much competition. They have to be really outstanding to believe they can make the team.

edi287:

Samu's emergence has made sure of it.

One player plays against the likes of Barca, the other slugs it out against clubs line Wimbledon. It’s not always about longevity, but instant impact in a very high level.

However, Ebere’s call was long overdue, considering our lack of personnel in the AM position.

Oga sorry to say but u are throwing so much shade at this boy it is ridiculous. All of a sudden u forget your handy European league rating system and say La Liga is all about Madrid and Barca just so u can belittle Villarreal. Now u are saying Villarreal is a club that give young players a chance just to make what the boy has done to look ordinary. How many other youngsters have u seen on the pitch with him? Are Carlos Bacca and Santi Carzola the young players u are talking about?
