I am not "some people" thankfully and I have quite a sound knowledge of football in that era. So yeah, His stats matter even today.

I am one of those people. I don't take his stats too serious.

We don't agree, no bad.

TheSuperNerd:
Yes. The greatest teen talent of all time and greatest footballer of all time. Any problem?

Pele is oldie, donkey years ago. Some people believes that his figures is somewhat exaggerated.


We have mbappe and Aguero to compare him.

TheSuperNerd:
Pele wasn't an out and out striker sef but he did more than this at age 19.

But talking of actual strikers... Ronaldo De Lima laughs in Portuguese.

Pele kwa?

TheGoodJoe:
Only time will tell but Edopesin has a strong point though.

I rate haaland too but not exaggerate.

Just like you said, only time will tell

Edopesin:
Bad Energy


Kindly show me where else I've compared today or move ahead

Good Energy.... I'm moving ahead

Edopesin:
I'm crying

Haaland is Messi as a natural striker
He is a joy to watch

Don't you ever compare

Subzero047:
You must be smoking

No be ordinary weed

waffiboi:
he is not academy player. he plays first team for PSV. Far better team than everton

Yes, you're right. PSV far better than Everton and Noni far better than Iwobi.

waffiboi:
I am sane. wat do you mean?

Why you dae compare academy player with Iwobi

komekn:
Do you mean a TV fan or fan that comes to games, involved with the club as an official fan club member, occasional associated engagement with coaches and other staff, etc


Because "WE" is very ambiguous.

So he must be coming to live games to be a fan. If that is the case....

You are a TV Nigerian

waffiboi:

Gernot Rohr should look at this prospect. Much better attacking midfielder than Iwobi. On the same level as ejaria. Will become a better AM than Ebere Eze in future.

Are you sane?

So Tega Abrahams is a youth player that is untried and unproven in the EPL.

It seems you have some dislike and prejudice towards Tega Abraham.

Because in reality Tim Werner is totally untried and untested in the EPL. Bundesliga is not on the same quality or competitiveness of the EPL.

It seems you have some like and partiality towards Abraham.

So you think Tim is coming to Epl to be benched by Abraham?

Why ❓

He will join the que of Batshuayi, Giroud, Pulisic and others.

The Bundesliga is not the EPL being prolific in the Bundesliga does not automatically transfer.

He will have to adapt and prove himself and if not just like Batshuayi with his €50 million transfer of 4 years ago, he can join the bench warmers.

Werner will not sit on bench for Abraham. He's been tested and proven to be trusted!

komekn:
More prolific in the Bundesliga and playing in a particular type of system. Those attributes do not automatically transfer to Liverpool in a different system and league.

I remember Keita left RB Leipzig after [b]3/4 [/b]very consistent outstanding seasons in the Bundesliga and came to Liverpool with a transfer close to €60 million also with great expectations.

What was the result he is simply not up to scratch after two seasons. And they are looking to offload him.

It should be warning to players that after the big money comes the expectations of performances.

The requirements of each league and team is different as well as the style of play and system. Can the player adapt and thrive the big question.

Two years rather

TheGoodJoe:
Yes, but, the philosophy comes first. Gabriel Jesus is no where a lethal finisher than Aguero. Guardiola still left Aguero on the bench for numerous occasions until Aguero assimilated the philosophy and to me, plays it better than Gabby Jesus (except intensity and defending). So Yekini might have the lethal goals but no way can he bring the philosophy to the table, which is paramount and which Kanu understands and plays it to the end.

Sir which one be 'until Aguero assimilated the philosophy'?

Guardiola bought Gabriel and mistook him for De Lima. To right-prove his decision of getting the young Jesus, he gave him starting spot at the detriment of Aguero so that media would sing praises of how he unearthed a young gem.

Aguero has been great prayer and at very larger extent, he's not made by Guardiola.

Ps- This is not to say Pep is not great coach.

TheGoodJoe:
Who is better than Babayaro? I will like to know who you think is a better left back than Babayaro.

No one doubts Yekini's prowess but in the modern game today, most of the strikers, from Aguero, Benzema, Firmino, Suarez, Lewandowski etc need to have the ability to play as a creative attack midfielder.

Forget about Bias, Yekini does not have that ability. Yekini is not also the kind of striker to drop into pockets of spaces in the wings to give passes. Sorry but Kanu trumps Yekini hands down when it concerns this.

The greatest striker of all time in GWG is Yekini. Kanu in the other hand tried but does not deserve to take the place of Yekini.

I have my own sources to get an idea of club interest. However, with Danny Loader it's not just speculation but actual offers.

Although l don't hinge my entire substantive approach on media reports. It is still a good measure of interest in a player.

Your dismissing it all as mere speculation is simply not true.

Right now we have all kinds of speculation about different footballers and transfers. If you take any of it seriously you really are walking in the dark without a torch.

In all honesty l don't think Chelsea is that interested in him. So all this talk is just speculation.


You went on to say that every transfer rumour is a speculation until dotted lines are signed.

Millions of transfer speculations don't materialize.

komekn:
Which ones are not regulars and even with that you must take into cognisance the club standing and the limited opportunities given to them on what is world class teams and indeed the best team.in the world.

Rhian Brewster is not going to get regular opportunity in Liverpool. Nonetheless, he went on loan to Swansea in January and has played 11 games scoring 4 goals.

Danny Loader is a teenager who has played near 30 games for Reading. He is currently wanted by Crystal Palace and Wolves.

The context is anchored on the word "Progression" of these young players of which some are still teenagers.

These are very objective based assessment. But you are claiming prejudice and bias.

So to prove your point of biased prejudice. Please make a comparison of the 2017 Eaglets U17 forward players. And tell me where they are now.

Otherwise you are just being the very thing you are alleging.

Please don't evade or go missing you have alleged now substantiate.

Wanted by?

That's a mere speculation

Icon4s:
Oga, this thing is general and England is no exception. All those players you mentioned there are more of products from the English Club academies and from different years.

Pick up the names of the English U17 national team of 2013 and tell me where each player is today. That is what we are saying.

I tire oo

People like...
Calvert-Lewin
Abraham
Ejaria
Lookman
Tomori
Walker-Peters, etc didn't cut it in their u-17(they didn't play official match when they were at u-17) but today, they are doing better than some of those that played well for England U-17. It simply means that U-17 is not unit of measurement as they are still raw and one decision from them or agent could easily make or ruin their career. Maybe he should tell us the career progression of those that were selected in place of abovementioned names. That said.

Funny thing is that many people on the list are Nigerians and by so, it's just to say that the talent is there but the proper guidance is missing. Theres no way A nigerian Youngster will be selected by any club in England in place of English if their capabilites are at par. If Chidiebere Nwakali and Yahaya Musa were to be English, they 'd be bossing championship at worst case scenario.

Comparing the u-17 and u-20 is biased.

Environment has a big part to play too

Joebie:
Interesting development. I think this is good for our domestic football.


Privately-owned clubs led by Ifeanyi Ubah and Kunle Soname have moved to form a rival league on the back of their dissatisfaction with the NPFL.

Huge prize monies and live broadcast of matches have been promised to the top teams of this new league.

“We are not happy with the way the private club owners are being treated like an outcast,” said Ekene Adams of Kada City Football Club.

“We wish to seek the way forward for Nigeria football because there is nothing to write home about in the league.

“We have therefore decided to invest in our own private league.”

Adams said champions of this league will pocket 100 million Naira.

The independent league is expected to feature the likes of Remo Stars, Go Round FC and Dynamite Force of Benin.

The private clubs will have their maiden meeting Saturday in Abuja.

Very very good

Meanwhile watching Borrussia just flog Paderborn 6-1.

Jadon Sancho scored a hat trick, he is probably close to 20 goals in the Bundesliga this season already playing from the Wing and he is still only 20.

Collins played and was yellow carded.

What's the correlation?

Wetin concern Sancho and SE?

Subzero047:
Please I don't want that Earthquake drama on my mentions

No pee sir.
Apologies

5inchdick:
The Guy isn't Earthquake, subzero047 issa real gee. I was able to put one and one together and there's no way he is Earthquake.

I believe he's not. The only similarity is the artwork of Percy Tau

Subzero047:
Has Bazee being called up before?

This question suggests you're not Earthquake ��

andrewbaba44:
He his 19 ,I know when he wrote waec

So because you knw when he wrote waec makes him 19?

Btw, who's is Eketere Udom?

Joebie don't stress yourself trying to prove...

We are just overly emotional.

It's not all players that will buy idea of wearing Green & White.

Amaju and Rohr should continue the good work. If they agree to fly our colour, fine and if they don't, fine too.

We can't have them all and we can't lose them all too.

They are more than 2000..... And by the way, this is half baked journalism

komekn:

Bruv it's very very very difficult for a black coach to get a Managers job in England as well as in Europe.

The system is intrinsically racist and corrupted.

With all the black players you have in England and with thier European A licences they cannot get a job. Best you get is youth football.

Look at what happened to Darren Moore at West Bromwich and Chris Houghton at Newcastle. Blatant unrestrained racism.

This is the English life they never talk about in the news.

Are they good enough?
That should be the question.

If they are good enough, why are not seeing them in other top leagues?

komekn:
I don't know what exactly you disagree with.

And what happened to Etebo in your opinion.

Many European coaches sometimes are not tactically astute to adapt thier game to meet the challenges of the English game.

Koeman outstanding coach became lost at Everton.

It's much easier not easy just less problematic to coach when you have better players or players suited to the system you know how to coach.

You said Koeman lost in Everton. May I remind how he worked magic at St Mary's?

If you are implying that his failure in Everton was because he lacks depth knowledge in ruggedness of Epl, then you are wrong! It's just like how Moyes f*cked up at united. Things like this happens once in a while.

'Koeman won his third Premier League Manager of the Month for January 2016,[33] on the way to Southampton's highest ever Premier League finish, sixth place, highest ever Premier League points total, 63, and qualification for the group stage of the UEFA Europa League'

Happy B*day Olanna
