Behold Ighalo's #9 jersey will also be up for grabs....


And this looks like the most likely candidate to inherit it in the long run...

You know him.... And time will tell.

Victor "The Menace" Osimhen....

sontoly:
You didn't mention ike uche, he is not physical but still out scored half of your list so your point isn't valid.

oil dey your head my brother

huh? Not for the super eagles, he was terrible and wasteful

e go shock una when dem return Kelechi

why ebuihi not in squad sl benfica in last 2 frindly matches ?

Actually I won't be so surprised. Kelechi could also inherit the #9 jersey. It is a possibility. I have mapped out so many possible happenings in the Post Mikel Era if our key young talents keep growing into the real deals as expected.

Osimhen remains, by my personal observation and projection, the most likely to inherit the No.9 shirt but Kelechi Iheanacho is also in with a shout as an outsider.

For me, Kelechi is a candidate for two numbers... #9 and #10. If he gets none, he will jut hace to settle for #14 or #18... Or any other. But one thing is for sure... Kelechi will be back but who inherits these two iconic GWG numbers made universally popular by Yekini (#9) and Okocha (#10) is gonna be up for some little debate.

You used the wrong word, "inconsistent"....Musa is not inconsistent but a very poor player who just runs a lot.

Well I wanted to sugar coat him na

He's the Shaun wright Phillips and Theo Walcott category of player with Only speed but little football sense, but they show few moments of usefulness when their speed becomes useful, like in the world cup. But overall their lack of technique and football sense usually be their undoing

Picked up a knock

Humility017:
well done seer... your assertion all ridden in prejudice and biased reasoning.
just yesterday's match you could assess and forecast his future...

abeg save me all that....a non physical player can't play and score goals in the Belgian league where you have young and energetic blood all running down the pitch...

Being young and energetic does not equate to physical prowess and dominance.

Every league is different and they are not always the same quality and they all have different attributes and styles.

For instance La Liga is very technical but not as Physical Fast and competitive as the EPL.

This implies that each of these league will have different preferences with player selection.

The Belguim league is not a physical league it's more technical based and isn't on the same quality in any way shape or form as the Bundesliga.

The Scottish league has a low rating in Europe around number 20 but the Belguim league is number 8. Nonetheless, the Scottish league is very physical and requires players to have a good degree of physicallity.

That's why Sadiq Umar completely flopped in Rangers but did above average in the Eredivisie just like the Belguim league it's not very physical. And Sadiq though tall is a paper weight.

Essentially physicality is not an essential player requirement to excel in the Belguim. Why do you think Lukaku was destroying the league at 16 ❓ If I'm right he was the top goal scorer at 16.

So your proposition assumption is wrong.

Please do not misrepresent my comments, you can make informed predictions based on a player current attributes about a player but nobody can determine the future.

My comments were specific , l reiterate with regards to the HERE and NOW Osimhen is very far off from Ighalo and is currently not the solution to Nigeria need for a striker CURRENTLY.

I hope injury doesn't kill d lad's career. He has so much potential and talent

forgiveness:
Kelechi Nwakali downturn has nothing to do with injury.

But Chucks Aneke who rose from league one to the Belgium Pro League within two full seasons with an individual outstanding performance experienced downturns in his second full season in the Belgium Pro League after he sustained an injury that lasted for almost one year(half of 2015/16 season - half of 2016/17 season). That injury forced him to go back to England. He sustained another one for two and half months in 2016/2017 season.

Despite the downturns, he rose to the Championship within the last two seasons from league two.

Chuks Aneke downturns have nothing to do with lack of game time or poor performance.

This is how people who are Superdelusuional begin to create non existent facts to buttress thier prejudice.

leathalbeast:
Musa is a fantastic player who needs proper managing to unleash all the beast in him, remember sterling of liverpool v sterling of mancity ? whats the difference? Pep

Musa is in his 30s...he has a hear or two more and you think he is still getting discovered. This iw n

So, who is the solution to the No 9 conundrum NOW

Icon79:
You guys are unbelievable! Less than one year ago, after the 2018 World Cup, Ahmed Musa was the demi god of the Super Eagles to most of y'all and Jude Odion Ighalo was the worst striker to ever walk the planet earth. Now, less than one year later, Musa is the one who's useless and Ighalo is the super dupa star, eh?

Oh boy, am I glad that most of y'all have nothing to do with managing Naija footie!


O pari

Agreed

Am not too sure IGHALO had retire

anyway the coming days and weeks will tell


and sir thegoodjoe, what had PINNICK don that you are screeming EFCC should pick him up?

If I may proffer a solution... I pray Isaac success can rejuvenate his career and get his form back,he fits d position perfectly dan any Candidate we av at d moment,provided success take his career serious and get his form back

nacho too is also gud,if he can get his form back,but I will prefer him to slug it out as a no 8 position/or playmaker role with iwobi ,and I wish nwakaeme shld b given a 2nd chance... But it seems ppu don't want to hear dt guys name again,but I believe he can come good,if d given d chance to proof himself again.

Olulong:
Odemwingie physical??

Look at my diction a good degree of physicallity.

Odemwingie was a fast technical player that was deceptively strong. Otherwise how do you think he survived and even excelled in the EPL.

Balogun and Ogu to dropped by Rohr for younger and more talented players.

Are you serious about this?

What about Eze?

I am not overly sold on Udokhai he isn't first choice and isn't consistently outstanding in the club or league.

Convince us, tell us about him❓ what's he got❓ l have only seen him a few times.

Nwakaeme has only played one game so to me he has not been given any chance

oloriooko:
Similarly, few months ago, Nigeria defeated Algeria home and went away to pull a draw, so bro people change within the shortest possible time.
Musa might be more effective coming off the bench.

Few?? Ji ma sun bobo yii

Eze is a good player that needs to be more consistent.

It's remarkable that him and Tega Abrahams were in the same local youth team as kids.

TheSuperNerd:
I forgot about Samuel Kalu. I will add him to My Outsiders list.

But calm down Sir odenigbo... Lol... Iwobi is still in with a shout. That is why I say Long run.


On Etebo... There is no way Etebo will dorn that #10 shirt please. I cancel such proposal... Lol

I was one of the people that had high hopes on Iwobi but the truth is the boy is over hyped. Its gradually becoming obvious Iwobi cant even keep a ball on his feet...so much for a "playmaker"....poor passes, zero aerial abilities, zero ball control and disgraceful physical strength for a boy born in Naija

tbaba1234:
Untrue, Rohr got a silver in the UEFA Cup (Now Europa league) in 1996.

I like you so much sir, very brief and straight to the point like a full barrel.

Odey will take that number 9 position!

All these guys you mentioned are a NO NO for any serious coach.

Nwakaeme looks like he is the same age as John Ogu.

Isaac Success is not serious and with all the starts he has been given, he has the goal ratio of an average defender

Iheanacho will need one season to prove us wrong as yo why he needs a call up

Easy with posting speculations. Nigerian Journalist can make one look foolish

andrew444:

Osey is too small atatured and may not have the physicality for that position. I doubt he can play alone up front

Balogun is still relevant as he is purely 31,if he is playing and not warming the bench then he should continue play ,unlike ogu who is only 31 but for real Na 41

I have said this before. Iwobi is just overhyped because he starts for arsenal. We need serious competition so that these guys would sit up.

Iwobi is inconsistent and comparable to Ighalo in this regard. He needs to sot up as well
