The only resemblance to Jay Jay was the hair
He was also fond of doing the JJay step over dribbles with roll. The only other SE players who ever tried it successfully.

He essentially ended the invitations of George Abbey for the RB slot.

So it was not just the hair.

Top 10 Players to look out for from midseason.

They are not Nigeria's top 17 players in Europe but they are few games from making major impact for the rest of the season.

10. Ifeanyi Matthew (Lillestrom, Norway): He's been the best midfielder in Norway. He's told his fans he would likely leave this Jan. Ifeanyi is a fire cracker from the midfield. He would definitely ignite any team he moves to. At the least, I hope he gets to Belgium, portugal or France.

9. Hilary Gong (Vitesse, Dutch Prem): He shutdown Slovakia and he made a big move to Vitesse but injuries slowed him down. He's been eased into the game, making a lot of sub appearances with a magical moment from him that led to a goal. I hope he explodes from now. A Coach Bros Production.

8. Stephen Odey (fc Zurich Swiss): He's hot this season scoring 9goals in Europe, league and domestic cup. Can he up the tempo and earn him a Top 5 league move by August?

7. Mikel Agu (Victoria Setubal, Portugal - Onloan from Porto): Started late but started well earning top points for Setubal this season. He's been hot scoring a goal so far from his DM/CM position. Can he turn it up a notch this half and earn him a move to the Top 5?

6. Anderson Esiti (Gent, Begium): Missed getting signed to Levante towards transfer deadline, got depressed and was dropped from Gent's first team. Got himself together and has played every match (once fit) for Gent, with Top performances. He's so fit that the Gent coach told him to stop lifting weight before he turns to cocoyam. He is expected to step it up this half and earn himself a move to Laliga or even the EPL.

5. Kingsley Micheal (Perugia, Serie B, onloan from Bolgna): HOT. Dude has cleared all the MOTM awards since Joining Perugia on loan. The parent club (Bologna) is expected to cut short his loan and have him back especially now that they are fighting to avoid the drop. He could probably walk into the first team right away and make a statement in the Serie A. Its Amuneke again.

4. larry kayode (Shanktar Donesk, Ukraine): was injured for 2months, got back, became a supersub, started after 5 games as a sub, but earned himself a silly red card. Was dropped from the team after that but he made it back and became a supersub. His club's next game is 14 Feb in the Europa. A great season in Shanktar and the next move is Top 5 leagues.

3. Sarenren Bazee (Hannover, Bundersliga): Injury has really messed him up in the last 2 years. But he was able to shake of all the injury worries to winning a starting shirt Early Nov. But he got into a nasty on field clash that left him in the hospital. He's back now and is expected to make it back to the starting lineup. Kid is EXPLOSIVE.

2. Orji Okonkwo (Bologna, Serie A): He started making the first team bench 2017 season. Made some appearances as a sub with 1 or 2 starts. Was shipped out on loan last season but back in the first team and trying to force his way in. Made 2 starts with one on the 26th of Dec 2018. It's clear he's making a statement in training and its expected he grabs and owns it this half. Serie A no be beans. Its Amuneke again.

1. Isaac Success (Watford, EPL): Its about time he blows. Broke into the laliga quite early and was a beast. Moved to England and both injury and libido issues have slowed him down. He came back roaring this season, starting as super sub for a while, then starting when Deeney was injured and even started ahead of Deeney and Deulofeu in some games. He's had very good and sometimes outstanding games but he needs to add one thing to his game to finally claim his starting shirt for good at watford, GOALS!!!

MENTIONS

*Samuel Adegbenro (Rosenborg, Norway): Been injured alot ever since he joined the Norwegian giants. But when fit, he starts and always has a commanding performance. Very skillful and fast player with an eye for goal.

*Ebere Eze (QPR, Championship): Another banging half season and he'll end up in the EPL next season if he doesn't make it already this window. Crystal Palace is rumored to have sounded out his intermediaries for a possible transfer this January.

*Henry Uche Agbo(Standard Liege, Belgium): Hasn't really distinguished himself since trading Laliga for the jupiler league, buh has done enough to attract the interest of Laliga midtable teams, Espanyol and Getafe who are eager to bring him back to Spain this January to help steady their respective ships. A good half season in the Laliga could afford him another chance with the super eagles, with Onazi out for the season.

*Ebere Paul Onuachu (FCM Denmark): Arguably the best striker in the Danish league for the past three seasons. Wanted by a host of top clubs, and is rumored to be on the wish list of FC Porto this window. Let's see what happens before the window shots

*Obinna Nwobo (Upjest Hungary): Has been a big hit since joining Upjest in the Hungarian league. Dude is racking up good numbers and is rapidly playing his way out of Hungary and into one of the top five leagues in Europe.

*Josh Maja and Joe Aribo* : These two have had stellar seasons so far in the English league 1 and are rightly wanted by some top league clubs.

Utonwanne:
His exploits at Chievo which coincided with his early years in national color is the highlight of his career.

Why won't he perform wonders at AYC 2005? Dude was playing against boys way younger than him. If success were to be born that Era, probably, he would be playing for U-16 currently.
Haba! he actually played with his age mates. Can you mention any of those players that played at the AYC 2005 that is still playing active football now?

Hahahahaha bros bros OK ooo grin grin

Me sha like those guys buh that Kalu's bungalow for Igbere there no be am abeg. He should build something better bkus the money dey. Never knew u were from Igbere hmmm una boys dun dey pull weight oo, the kinda big houses wey una dey hammer for Dat una town ehh buh na Orji Uzor Kalu help una and neglected us(isuikwuato) saying we have top men from Ovim who could help get us into top government offices and also repair our roads. One day we go just block Akara Junction make we see how una wan take go una Vila again mtcheew.

U guys are doing well for urselves, I love the developments though una still dey learn work where Abiriba guys dey grin grin
Abiriba is on another planet all together. No no no, residential houses there are better than hotels in other parts of the states. In the entire country I am not sure any town can compete with them, Abia roads are not that good but once you enter that Abiriba side smooth sailing, you won't even be hearing your engine again, smooth sailing. My only problem has to be the bumps they have on that road, otherwise it is one of the few eastern roads that you can clock 130. I am not afraid to say that if we reach half of Abiriba we have achieved something.

Isi-Ukwu-Ato grin people are my in-laws self. So you are my brother, nice.

Down to Ikechukwu and Kalu, I don't know know if it is a good thing but their entire family straight from Pa Amadi Uche have always been lowkey, even as at now despite the money Uche has made I heard he came back and still paid courtesy visits to all his older siblings and uncles before leaving. Sha humility is is one of the traits you can find in all Igbere homes.

Abeg oh how did you know so much about Owerri if you are from Isukwuato and you still know so much about Abia State

But you are speculating as well especially as we cannot ascertain Iorfa’s current form. It is not out of place for me to say the trio are all better than Iorfa

komekn:
I would never disagree with notion of " Present Continous " however there are very clear extenuating circumstances.

Which l have gone into with some depth in the past about those unfair circumstances that even prompted a FA investigation into the affairs of Wolves.

The issue is football politics not ability.

If you can recall on of our best defenders was Danny Shittu frozen out for two years at Bolton. Came and partners very effectively with Yobo. Left Bolton and was voted Best Defender in the Championship.

But back to the three Germans were they better than him before or currently because they have been paid in the past 3/4 months.

I am simply not convinced it's speculative and not proven.

Compared to the others you mentioned, The Cathedral host matches every other week and money is generated for its maintenance at least.

The others are very dormant, dormant things dilapidate. There is little will to maintain dormant things don't you think?
