We are in dire need of his services bro, we don't have even a single personnel in his position, so it is logical bringing him aboard the ship unlike Lookman
grin Chris stay one place o. Are we not using the indices of "what has he done these past 3 seasons"?

Evidently, clamor for both player is based on emotive prejudice tongue (local and foreign).

But I have one real question. What makes you so sure of Nwakali coming good in this afcon? Mountain moving faith or you don visit shrine shocked

Dennis is more of a winger who can also operate in the forward position. He can play LW and RW.

Ejuke has also shown he can play the LW role fairly well for club and country.

Adding Lookman is an overkill for me, especially considering there are other areas where we need reinforcement.

forgiveness:



Why was he included in the provisional list if it has not been completed?

Besides, let us critically analyze the forward list into-to.

10 forwards were listed and if we add Ejuke, we have 11 forwards.

Now, where can these players function along the front line?

We have CF, SS, AMF, LW and RW.

As far as I am concern, we have a total 4 natural CFs in the team because I am not sure of Osimhen’s fitness.

CF
1. Odion Ighalo
2. Taiwo Awoniyi
3. Emmmuel Dennis
4. Umar Sadiq

SS
5. Iheanacho Kelechi

AMF
6. Alex Iwobi

RW
7. Samuel Chuks
8. Chidera Ejuke

LW
9. Simon Moses
10. Ahmed Musa

*Osimhen (Fitness not confirmed)

The weakest position is the LW. This is where Ademola Lookman comes in.

Is Simon or Musa better than Lookman on that LW?

Apparently, Lookman is better than most of the wingers on the list.

Ejuke plays LW too... Dennis too can play anywhere up front.. Is Lookman better than either of them?
How many forwards are we even going to use?
Shehu should be replaced by a defender or midfielder

What if Dennis and Ejuke starts as a CF and LW respectively and we needed to substitute Ejuke due to football reasoning, who replaces him?

We don’t need to use make shift players if you have a equally better player in a position.

Is Lookman better than Ejuke? Of course.

Is Emmmuel better than Lookman? It’s up for debate.

Ademola lookman will not add anything new to this super eagles team... We have Ejuke and chukwueze already, they are direct runners/dribblers.
What we need is one more CM/AM


That’s why we need a different player like Ademola. Who is more dynamic and different in style of play.

He will surely add up to the team.

Chidera Ejike is a LW same as Emmanuel Dennis. Lookman isn't as good as any of them. That said, I would give lookman a chance on the bench ahead of Musa sha

Dennis is more of a striker than a winger and that is where he thrives most.

Why do you think both are better than Lookman?

Sorry sir but the bold is debatable. Ademola is talented quite alright but he hasn't blown me away the times I've watched him.

Ejuke on the other hand has been very instrumental for CSKA this season. More importantly for Nigeria Ejuke's impact has been very noticeable with better end product he could become unplayable in the GWG.

Dennis and Moses can play the LW. Even Iwobi too so we are not short changed on the left side infact we are over blessed in terms of players available in that position.

Ejuke is a better dribbler who destabilizes opposition defenses while Dennis has so far shown he has better end product in terms of goals and assists.

Dennis has only played once as a center forward for Watford. 99 percent of his goals for Watford have come while playing as a WF.

Statistically, Lookman can't lace the boots of Dennis and Ejike

Wow 43 goals and 23 assists that's is unbelievable! By the
way what do you mean by 79 90s?

It means he's played the equivalent of 79 full games for us.
