They have once compared Chukwueze against Vinicius Junior, talking about the best young player in La Liga this season. That is hype. And I like it. No match day goes by in the Europa league that they don't show us his key stats. That's hype. After his showing against Barça they wrote: Wins Nigeria Best Young Player on Tuesday, Scores against Barça on Wednesday. That's bad ass hype brother.

That picture is too blurry to make a conclusion either way.

And if we assume you are right that it was his account, it still does not show that he is older than 17 and there is no way to show that the information is accurate. At 15/16, many people enter the university these days. By 18/19, many are midway through university. My younger sister was finished by 19 and she studied a 5 year course.

What i know is this, the boy has grown bigger and taller than he was 2 years ago, suggesting that he is still growing. And he passed MRI which means he is under or close to the age range. At this point, that is the best we can hope for.

The slowed down footage clearly shows the ball deflected off Llorente’s arm before hitting his thigh and ended up in the net.

AS’s resident referee Iturralde González commented: ”It hits his hand first then his hip and the UEFA instructions are clear: you can't score if it hits your hand, even if it’s involuntary. It doesn't matter if the elbow is tight to the body. If it happens to a defender it's not a penalty, but if it's an attacker it has to be disallowed. Rossetti has told the UEFA referees.”

He added: "Irrati (the VAR) - the number one VAR official - advises Çakir because he's seen a hand. When Çakir comes back from seeing the images he tells the players 'I didn't see anything. It hit his thigh.' They didn't play him the view from behind where you can see it hits the elbow. The error from the VAR is not showing the two key images. Why? The question is getting it right, not how long it takes."

AS’s resident ref's conclusion: "Manchester City are out because the VAR wasn't used properly".

TheGoodJoe's conclusion: People in the VAR room had the luxury of having multiple angles and clearly saw that the ball hit the arm of Llorente but refused to show that screen because there was an agenda already.

Finito.

Na here your eye go stand.

Fulham
Cardiff
Southampton
Brighton
Burnley
Newcastle United
AFC Bournemouth

How many wingers in this club are better than onyekuru, maybe 2 , Players like nathan redmond ,Dude will start in all this teams i mentioned easily

Earthquake3:


Iwobi has started more than half of Arsenal's games and Onyekuru is better than Hudson Odoi, he's even better than the current Pedro on the bench

Hello house, I am thinking of spending my annual vacation in Egypt to afford me the opportunity of watching the AFCON and of course see a lot of historical sites.

Icon4s, tbaba1234 and other widely traveled members of the thread, particularly those who were at AFCON 2006, is this a good idea?I mean in terms of things like :

security.

The attitude of the Egyptians towards blacks.

What kind of treatment should I expect if for example Egypt loses to Nigeria at a stage in the tournament

Financial implications, like what kind of budget I should be looking at.

The tourist attractions

Weather e.t.c

Please house, will u strongly advice an average Nigerian to embark on this kind of trip for vacation?

Your contributions will be appreciated.

Regards

I would DISAGREE with you.

He Onyekuru has played in the lower level leagues of Europe and against faster, stronger and more technically astute defenders week in week out will not find it so easy.

So he is not tested at a higher level to make such a conclusion. Better than Pedro certainly not IMO.

iSlayer2:
Leave Samuel Chukwueze and his surrounding hype. Samuel Chukwueze plays in the La Liga and the Europa league, therefore it is the Spanish media responsible for all the news you hear about him all over the place. We are only repeating their sentiments here. If they were not discussing him in Spain he'll be like every other player.

Onyekuru is not as discussed/hyped simply because it's the Turkish league, it doesn't have as much popularity and stuff. Coupled with that, Galatasaray didn't do very well in the champions league when they had the chance.

Discussing or hyping a player from now till tomorrow will not derail a player's career; He will still wake up early tomorrow to do his morning drills and train with his teammates.
What will derail his career are his decisions and work ethics.

On the side, many of us need to understand that hyping is in fact part of the business, it's like showbiz.

Onyekuru has played in Belguim and Turkey and has done EXCEPTIONALLY WELL.

However, can he transfer that ability and dominance to the EPL, is open to question. He is very lightweight in my opinion. He reminds me of Nani excellent player but when he came to United was a bit lightweight too . In the end he was sent to the gym to beef up. His career was OK at United but for a player tipped to replace Ronaldo, he didn't live up to expectation.

However, Onyekuru has a very big advantage there is no expectation on him. So he will not be under great pressure to perform. But the question can he perform.

In all these clubs he has a chance, however, it's one thing to get in its another to perform and claim first choice position. However, I don't think he will fit into Newcastle, Cardiff, Burnley and Bournemouth. The other teams he may have an opportunity. But him being clearly better than the existing players is open to never ending debate IMO.

I remember Atsu had a wonderful world cup for Ghana but couldn't do anything at Everton and has just been OK if l am to be generous at Newcastle.

In conclusion it's not as simplistic as you make it, the EPL is a different type of intense physical football and some teams have a different ethos that may not fit his particular attributes.

My advice to him is he should go to the Bundesliga and progress from there.

andrew444:


Save yourself the stress

There is nothing special about Epl

There are so many players doing well in the Epl,players onyekuru is better than ,so leave matter

I've been to Cairo and it was a nice experience...seeing the Nile at Night, the Pyramids etc

I stayed in a 4 star hotel in the zamalek area which is expensive but I had the budget to deal with that. Hotels in Cairo I reckon are cheaper than their equivalents in Lagos. I never felt insecure or discriminated against at anytime. Of course you need to have your eyes open and let common sense lead you like you would anywhere else.

I have never been pickpocketed or duped by locals in any Nigerian town but I have in London and Florence!

The only negative I can say I experienced the in Egypt is the local driving culture, but then if you live in Lagos you will be well versed in a similar culture.

Having said all this your experience could be difficult in the chaos that a major sporting event will undoubtedly bring to the city.
