Iwobi is similar to Iheanacho in the sense that both of them have NO DEFINED NATURAL POSITION.

Iheanacho lacks the basic ball control which is imperative for an AM/SS. He also lacks the ability to beat defenders with his very poor dribbling abilities and low attacking instinct, and lacks physicality to hold up play so he is not a natural CF. So what is his natural position?.

Iwobi claims to be a natural AM, but apart from his eye for the final pass which he shows occasionally, he has no other attribute of a modern number 10. He can't control the game's tempo, hardly makes accurate vertical long passes, can't hit good shots at goal from range, his dribbling which endeared him to our hearts is fast disappearing, physicality nko? Zero.

So my brother, Iwobi is like Nacho. Jack of all wings, master of none.
I think you are wrong here.

When we played England prior to the WC Iwobi played very well as a RW and even got a goal.He was very creative and the only creative Super Eagle in a match where Regulars Moses and Mikel were anonymous, with Onazi poor.

Iwobi is class.He just needs a decent DMF/ball holder to play behind him.

Bros you dey mind them? If i tag them hater dem go talk, many of them even see me as being sentimental because i will never agree with them

Look at one trying to pull victor moses down as if i even call moses a world class player,I am not a victor moses fan and some others eagles player that does not mean i will not speak the truth

Even one said onyekuru is overrated, someone that is playing in turkey on loan and the fee being paid by everton to buy him was just 7 million euros and someone open his mouth to say the guy is overated?

Some people need to use google to read meaning and understand them.

Happy New year to you, wish you the best
Everything depends on how you look at it.

Some will tell you that the Turkish and Chinese leagues is for retirees considering the fact that Robinho,Eto o and some old players are still active there.

Onyekuru has also not proven critics wrong since he has featured in 8 champions league games without a goal or assist to his name.

The few times he came on as a sub during the AFCON qualifiers, he wasn't even impressive considering the weak(African) opponents he was facing.

Chukwueze and Kalu were balling against well organized Ugandan defenders in Asaba while Onyekuru couldn't make any impact.

He failed in his debut game against Corsica.

His only good game being in the testimonial match against Liberia where the Liberians were 2 man down considering the fact that Weah and one of his compatriot featured in that game.

Onyekuru has to move to prove himself in one of Europe's top 5 leagues.

He is not even in Rohr's plan at the moment as a winger.

He is not a regular and has started more than 10 games in the EPL...Smh for you

So because he was not on the bench means he is not a regular?

Anyway wes morgan didnt make the bench so does that make him also a bench warmer?

Hope you are not bringing your hate to 2019 ?

I am starting to believe you earn a living to hate a player

Change your ways

Happy new year to you
No one is trying to bring any player down.

Iheanacho was a regular in the beginning of the season but not now since 5 games have been played since then with him getting only 30mins in total.

Embrace the truth, but remember in football you are as good as your last game.

Onyekuru hasn't play well for the eagles doesn't mean he is overrated ,you really don't know what you are saying and you are just making jest of your self .

You dare to mention chukwueze and kalu where balling well against Uganda defenders ,I never knew uganda is now a top footballing nation and Sergio Ramos and van dijk now plays for them

Why didn't chukwueze and kalu score against those Uganda defenders ?

So chukwueze is not overrated? Even thou the boy is good .some people have already rated him 40 million euros and you didn't see that as overrated ? Someone who is yet to play 20 career games

But onyekuru is not even rated such amount and you say he is overrated,he keeps on scoring goals for the past 3 seasons and you say he is overrated? Are you this clueless ?

Now you wanna use champions league to judge him ? As if his club is playing well in the champions league

He won't be in rohr plans because coaches have their choice so you won't use that to judge him

Do you think kalu and chukwueze are better players than onyekuru? Because one plays in the French league and the other plays in the Spanish league right ? This is just a question and I am not telling you who is better in the 3 of them


For your information Luis Suarez is yet to score in the champions league since Barca 6-1 win against psg

You are just an hater who hate the truth or you are clueless .

Do you know what it means to say a player is a regular?

In their last 5 games, how many did he start?

If you call a bench-warmer a regular, what will you call a starter?

A bench warmer is a player who sits on the bench for 10 games and only get 5 minute from the sub

But even if nacho is on the bench he will come on by 65 and not 90 or 89 minutes

In the last 5 games did he play 2 minutes each ?

Chukwueze is doing his thing in the Spanish LA liga, the best league in the world while Onyekuru is in Turkey.

Chukwueze has scored in the Europa league.

Athletico and Arsenal are interested in Chukwueze but Bayern have already pulled out of signing Onyekuru.

Rohr is also a hater like I am for listing Kalu,Musa,Chukwueze and Simon as his wingers without mentioning Onyekuru.

A player is rated according to the league in which he plays.

If we are to look at it your way Junior Lokosa(Lobi stars) will have more suitors than Junior Ajayi(Al Ahly) which is impossible.

Chukwueze is doing well in laliga no doubt but how does that concern onyekuru ? Is onyekuru in laliga ? Did he get any offer from laliga and he refuse to go there ? Think before you talk man don't just open your mouth and talk just because you wanna bring someone down

Rohr has his choice okay ,you are talking about Moses Simon that cannot make levante team ? Lol

Moses Simon is a levante bench warmer and he is ahead of onyekuru right ? That's says a lot

Onyekuru will not go to levante and sit at the bench.

They don't need to rate him there or for him to have offers there ,Everton bought him because Everton have eyes ,so all Epl players that doesn't get offers from laliga or Seria means they don't rate them ? You see your mentality .

What nature ,nature of what league ? Only a fool will prefer a bench warmer at levante then a starter at galatasaray

Senegal new first choice striker is playing in turkey for kasimpasa and his name is mbaye diagne ,if that so called mbaye Diagne is a Nigerian your choice will prefer a Chinese division 2 player so that says a lot

I repeat my self onyekuru will never sit at levante bench ,onyekuru will start at Villarreal and Sevilla
