Best Finisher: Obafemi Martins, Yakubu Aiyegbeni, or Julius Aghahowa? by slary(m): 12:09am On Sep 23, 2005
Among these three who is the most lethal finisher? Obagol, Yaks or Aghawonder?

On Current form, I think Obagol is clinical in front of goal. For the past six months he has been consistent. Without any doubt Obafemi Martins is the best among the trio. cheesy

If the question is so obvious, then maybe it doesn't even need to be asked?

I think Slary has got it all wrong. Cause to me those three are no longer nearly in the same cattegory. Martins is outrightly the best in every aspect of a striker not just in finishing (except in height). He plays in one of the most difficult leagues: the Italian league. Yet he is so good how much more if he played in the premiership.
Re: Best Finisher: Obafemi Martins, Yakubu Aiyegbeni, or Julius Aghahowa? by vichel(m): 6:53pm On Nov 28, 2005
yeah martins is the best, but aghawonder has heart, with him in front of goal, i an very assured that the day will be fine. there is only one thing i regret about martins, and that is his just a left footer. But any day, i will simply prefer the combination of Martins/Aghaowa to Martins/Makinwa.
Re: Best Finisher: Obafemi Martins, Yakubu Aiyegbeni, or Julius Aghahowa? by spikelord(m): 8:26pm On Nov 28, 2005
Can anyone tell me who is better between these two young stars:
John Obi Mikel and Lionel Messi?
Re: Best Finisher: Obafemi Martins, Yakubu Aiyegbeni, or Julius Aghahowa? by pie1ect(m): 1:00am On Nov 29, 2005
Messi.
I see Messi on TV every other week and that's probably influenced my decision. Obi is a super-talented player(for his age) but he seems hell-bent on throwing his great future in the bin, so good-luck to him.
@ Owen
If Obafemi played in the EPL, he would be among the top-scorers every season because he's as fast as any player out there. It seems the only thing required to play in England is speed and strength( things Martins has in abundance).

OBA GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL
i agree wit u though pie, serie A ain't really the place him. but he's probably still building himself with the other great players there. he ain't complaining yet.
Re: Best Finisher: Obafemi Martins, Yakubu Aiyegbeni, or Julius Aghahowa? by Owen(m): 11:40am On Dec 09, 2005
You are absolutely right pie1ect!
Re: Best Finisher: Obafemi Martins, Yakubu Aiyegbeni, or Julius Aghahowa? by teeluv05(m): 2:35pm On Dec 12, 2005
Martins is a class when we talking of stars from Africa, from Seria A, EVEN IN THE PRESENT WORLD of Soccer he will be the next Weah of Africa, I think he is more than the Eto's of this world already if not I would have compaired him with that wonderful Camerounian, Agaho. is good but Age his no more in his side( U all remember Amunike he faded away when the flame was high) Aiyegbeni to the EPL is good but he is not so dedicated to the black man's continent in which he belongs. Of all the three Martins is the BEST . OBAGOOOOOOOL FOR LIFE

yEKINI RASHIDI, the best african ever had
Re: Best Finisher: Obafemi Martins, Yakubu Aiyegbeni, or Julius Aghahowa? by Nobody: 4:21am On Feb 02, 2008
yakubu is the most clinical finisher, no doubt
Re: Best Finisher: Obafemi Martins, Yakubu Aiyegbeni, or Julius Aghahowa? by kingose: 9:24pm On Feb 16, 2008
Julius is better than any of them, We should look at what this players have acheive or what game they have won for this nation, Julius plays a topical africa football and can take on any defender, Have we forgoten so so how he singlehandedly won the game against senegal for nigeria, Please lets give fo Efosa Aghahowa
Re: Best Finisher: Obafemi Martins, Yakubu Aiyegbeni, or Julius Aghahowa? by segunpc(m): 2:30pm On Feb 18, 2008
i ll pick martins
Re: Best Finisher: Obafemi Martins, Yakubu Aiyegbeni, or Julius Aghahowa? by chuckdee4(m): 3:23pm On Feb 18, 2008
Martins used to be the most lethal of the 3, go and check him in Inter colours on youtube, thats where u'll see why there was so much fuss around him, since he made the mistake of joining the circus his game has declined rapidly.

Of the 3 idiots, i'll have to say Yakubu on current form
Re: Best Finisher: Obafemi Martins, Yakubu Aiyegbeni, or Julius Aghahowa? by Igbanibo: 5:16pm On Aug 11, 2009
Aghahowa was the best in GWG as far as finishing goes.

where have you been the past 3 years? Obafemi was in Newcastle and he was average at best. The only thing i think he has going for him is his athleticism. On the other hand, during his prime; in the early 2000's, Julius Agahowa was one of the greatest strikers Nigeria had. The guy was just lethal, confident and incredibly quick. Rashidi Yekini never even had the same physical gifts that Agha-wonder had.

weapon of mass destruction(martin).i no no y wenger no buy dat guy self.yak is selfish
Re: Best Finisher: Obafemi Martins, Yakubu Aiyegbeni, or Julius Aghahowa? by vikiviko(m): 3:43pm On Aug 12, 2009
Yakubu Aiyegbeni is more accomplished than Martins AND Aghahowa.

In the national setting beside Rashidi Yekini with43 goals , Yakubu has scored more than anybody else , having played 43 matches for the Super Eagles he has about 20 goals.

First African with a century of goals in the English Premiership.

Martins could be skillful but he can't score goals.

Aghahowa the only memory i have of him are the crucial goals he scored against Senegal in Lagos, he's a die hard Player. But not Clinical.
