Ndidi is good enough to play for any top team, trust me on that one. But sometimes being African, you gotta be twice as good as your peers before you can get noticed.

You have a point there but that should not make us to overate the stars we have

Lenglet was one of the most sought after defenders before Barca snapped him up

Umtiti is more athletic, but Lenglet has a better understanding with Pique

Besides Umtiti is one of the top defenders in the world, no comparison

KPOM! We all like Barca because of Leo Messi but I won't forget that the football club hasn't really been great for African players.

Samuel Eto'o was their best striker during his time but that didn't stop Pep from running him out of Barca.

I don't think Chukwueze should go to Barcelona. Especially if he's going to be adapted to the left wing. No.
Worse case scenario he stays at Villarreal.

Chukwueze should be wise in making career decisions, any minute spent on the bench is detrimental to his career

I go still remind una about that Galatasaray boy, Ozonwafor

Taiwo was one of Africa's best left back so when i say he started a decline, it is against that statement.

Taiwo had a good 2010-2011 season but he started his fade in the 2011/2012 season. (Note: I said, it started. he was not completely finished) His premier league showing was not close to his high standards and by the time he went to Ukraine the next season, his stats showed significant drop. He used to get 4-5 goals in Marseille at least. He could not score a single 1 in the Ukrainian league.

By 2014-2015, When he was supposed to be 29/30. He could not make his turkish team starting line-up and was sold to Finland.

It wasn't close because he joined EPL in the summer but he still went ahead to score a goal with three assists. He would had scored and assisted more if he started the season. Facts

That was a high standard for someone who at most scored 3 goals in Ligue 1.

He used to score 4/5 goals for Marseille in all competitions not only in Ligue 1. Let that be stated clearly.

Why didn't you tell us about his stats after he left Ukraine for Turkey?

He scored a goal and had 4 assists in all competitions in Ukraine. We still saw Taiwo played in the UEFA champions League group stage at 28.

In Turkey, he scored three goals and had 6 assists. That was when he was 29.

How can someone who scored three goals with 6 assists wouldn't make the Turkish league?

He wasn't sold. He had issues with the Turkish federation because of transfer issue hence his work permit was terminated.

How does that look like fading away?

This was what Late Keshi wanted us to believe.

Taye Taiwo didn't fade away at 26 for those who followed him until he joined a club in Finland when he was 30.

You said Mikel Obi is still playing at the highest level. Is Chinese league better than the Turkish or the Ukrainian leagues?

Ps: Mikel Obi left EPL when he was 29. It doesn't mean he can't still play.

Re: "The Super Eagles Thread: The Road To AFCON 2025 And 2026 World Cup by Icon79(m): 8:11pm On May 13, 2019
Nna, maybe I am still confused but, for some reasons, I feel that Barca played better than they did against Liverpool even in those PSG and Roma loses. I felt that they were just unlucky not to score in Paris and Rome. And I can remember that Barca was denied a legit penalty in Rome as well because there was no VAR at that time.

But I can't say the same for what happened at Anfield last Tuesday. They were played off the park including the first game. Liverpool where unfortunate not to score in the first leg and dominated Barca, if not for Messi. The second leg proved there is only so much Messi can do by himself. Barca’s old guard with the exception of Messi where exposed. Their lack of pace and creativity was stifled by Liverpool pace and creativity due to diversity in their side! Barca has no major African and South American presence of note! That must change if they want to keep up with the bests in Europe.

The tournament can only get tougher to win next year. PSG will improve and they will have a healthy Neymar (if he stays) and a more experienced Mbappe. ManCity will improve and Pep would definitely prioritize Champions cup next year. Real Madrid will improve. And Liverpool would improve as well. And if Antonio Conte moves to Juve, that would make them a contender as well.

From Enyimba or something, I can't think of any top club in the top five leagues with a starting defender of 19 years that's because defenders deal with maturity and experience

How can he get the maturity and experience when he sits on the bench?

So because chuks did well against barca means he always shine when playing them as if he has played against barca 5 times

I didnt think you read what i said well, you are just interested in ranting because as you hear barcelona your head stand,i am sure if they didnt mention barcelona you will not rant

Hope you know i was the same person that argued that ndidi is a better player than 70million rated Rodri who played for Atletico Madrid?

Busquets is not as before but hope you know barcelona has Purchased frenkie de jong?



I said Chuks an ndidi has the potential to make barca and madrid team,you should understand that rather than to rant (I dont know why you are so blind to see tha) as your main motive is to insult barcelona you cant even hide that just the way you called bsquets Biscuits

So you wan chuks to go to a big team immediately where they will bench him and kill his career right?

The day i was all over this thread telling people ndidi is better than rodri, i guess you where in your hole you just crawlled out from because you didnt hear barca but as you hear barca you begin rant

So ekong is better than lenglet also abi?

What happened to world class alex song at barca?

Bros you are confused abeg because you are blind to see the bolded


please I am.begging you...if you can't be civil and b polite don't ever quote me again...

I passed my point without insulting you...why can't you do same...
all.because I see differently from you...you're sayn I am blind....
