Uhmmm, I'm afraid you misunderstood. Transfer will be close to 5M€ I think.

1.5M€ is his yearly salary. Thanks to the negotiations done by Jorge Mendes, his new agent.

It has always been our prayers that they become super regulars in their teams. Na their performance during camping go determine. But Uzoho,s confidence will push him above the others. Now we can boast of really tall GKs
Surprisingly Maduka is 1;98m and even taller than Uzoho @ 1;96m
Dele is 1.99 while Osigwe is 1.85. Naija is really blessed with tall GKs o. I hope their reflexes are good sha or else teams will exploit them.

Alright. Rohr has been aware of Adeleye for a while and he is just becoming aware of Matthew Yakubu. Yep... Yakubu has been mentioned to Rohr recently. So we watch.

But it is the top 3 that excite me most. Uzoho, Okoye and Osigwe. If Osigwe gets it going, and Okoye (who just finished keeping a clean sheet for Sparta in a friendly) also gets it going, then Akpeyi's time in the Eagles will be at an end sooner than later. Uzoho is still no.1 without doubt.

That's where the word "Competition" comes in and for now Uzoho is ahead of Okoye, no questions asked. But if Okoye gets it going in the Eredivisie while Uzoho also gets it going in Cyprus, then we have a battle on our hands. Overtaking is allowed. grin

Uzohos experience in the international scene will still work in his favour. He will loose it only when he becomes very poor or another GK becomes exceptionally good.

Some of the clubs interested in Tolu Arokodare.

Anderlecht, Toulouse, Amiens, Angers, Slavia Prague.

Valmeria play Lech Poznan in 9 days time in the first qualifying round of the Europa League, a one-legged tie.

Tolu Arokodare has spoken out on transfer situation:

"I was mentally incapable. I felt down and couldn't train because of what happened,

"I want to go to Anderlecht. Anderlecht would be the ideal step in my career right now. My club could also receive a record sum for me.
I do not understand why there is no deal at the moment. I will also decline any offer other than Anderlecht. My transfer would be a record in the history of Latvian football."

Kompany has turned his head.

Monaco Tribune reviewed Onyekuru's 45 minutes vs AZ Alkmaar and the article is full of expletives.

Always said his best attribute is his movement, one good coach will transform him into a striker.

Correction:

I muddled up the scoreline. Banik won 4-1 not Hartberg. The Tijani that scored is Mohammed Tijani of Banik Ostrava.

Samson Tijani did play the second 45 but didn't score.

Please take note... I will modify the post below accordingly.





TheSuperNerd:
Samson Tijani begins with a debut goal

Samson Tijani(18) has already began his journey in Austria with a bang.

He scored the third goal for his side, TSV Hartberg as they defeated Banik Ostrava 4-1 in a preseason friendly.

He played the second 45 mins after TSV Hartberg had changed their entire first XI from the first 45 except one who stayed on till 84 mins.

Tijani is on loan for the 2020/21 season to Austrian Bundesliga side, Hartberg from RB Salzburg.

Samson Tijani makes debut but Another Tijani scores

Samson Tijani(18) began his Austrian Pro-journey with his debut for loan side, TSV Hartberg.

TSV Hartberg got defeated by Banik Ostrava by a 4-1 scoreline in a preseason friendly.

He played the second 45 mins after TSV Hartberg had changed their entire first XI from the first 45 except one who stayed on till 84 mins.

Samson Tijani is on loan for the 2020/21 season to Austrian Bundesliga side, Hartberg from RB Salzburg.


The Tijani who scored for Banik Ostrava is Mohammed Tijani who repped Nigeria U-20 at the 2019 U-20 WC.


He is the one that Andrewbaba44 and the likes drew inspiration from to start the common phrase...

"NONSENSE AND TIJANI" grin

Thats an isolated incident. You dont see players of the size of Messi as a striker with so much gift everyday. Onyekuru can score goals but he is not a point man. I even prefer Iheanacho in than positiin to Henry.

The Zaidu Sanusi to Porto has not been completed due to being monitored by FFP.

Porto can only register 23 players in the UCL and have a limitation on the number of players they can sign and the transfer fee.

They have been under scrutiny since 2017.

Henry also had obvious physical attributes Onyekuru lacks. This is like playing Chukwueze as a point man. These guys have different skills set.

You don't have to be a target man to be a striker. There are different roles a striker can fulfill and target man is just one of them.

And Aguero is no isolated incident, of the 7 highest scoring strikers last decade in the EPL. 3 are the same height range as Onykeru and one is just 0.8m taller.

Onyekuru does not have the creativity of wingers, but has the finishing of strikers.
Finishing ability is what makes you a good striker.

I know Mathew, thing is that I am not just cool with his height, that's not to take anything away from his abilities as a goal keeper.

About the fourth person outside the three I listed earlier, I would take Adeleye of Katamon. Alampasu and Mathew are my outside prospects.

I have gone through the profile of all the aforementioned goalkeepers and I can see that only Uzoho and Alampasu have played at the highest level.

However, I discovered ...

I. That Uzoho is/was injured at the beginning of the season in the Cyprus league and missed the whole season.

II. That Okoye has only played in the 4th level of Germany football club system in the last two seasons but has now gone to the Eredivisie this current season.

III. That Sebastian has played in the Swiss second tier league in the last two seasons but signed for Swiss first tier league club at 26 years old. I don't know why you are cool with his height at 1:85m though.


IV. That Adeleye plays for Hapoel Jerusalem F.C in Israeli second tier league. This happened to be his first season in Europe.

V. That Matthew Yakubu just started his professional career this season in the Slovenia first tier league and has just played only one game out many games.

VI. That Alampasu is now in Latvia first league after he left the Portuguese club, and has managed to play some games.

After looking at all these players stats, I don't think their stats are impressive, and I don't think I will limit the prospect to just three or four players who are yet to do anything significant in their career.

As far as I am concern, all are still in the same level until they do something significant this season or afterwards.

As it stands, I declare all prospect. My humble opinion.

Onyekuru is a winger with a unique style because of his goal scoring abilities. He mostly play to score not to create like old school wingers; you would observe the modern wingers are moulded in a striker--like form. Sala , Chukwueze , Mane , Arjen Robben are all modern wingers who has strikers attribute yet are never the point man.

Aguero is world class and fits the style on Man City who like to keep the ball on the ground. Onyekuru is a potent scorer yet he lacks the complete quality of a 9. If he was a midfielder then it would make some sense becaise you could use him as an inverted 9, like Messi. Being a 9 is just more than slotting goals in.....the stamina to stand your ground and fight brutal defenders who are fixed on you nobi beans. A 9 has more responsibilities
