Confirmed ogogoro talk... No iota of truth whatsoever.. Just hateful prediction of doom.. The same kind of hateful prediction you made for Osimhen and Iheanacho back then...

Sadiq played in the Serbian league just recently and scored 18 goals in 36 games
... The Serbian league is ranked one place ahead of the Belgian league in the UEFA coefficient...

You don't have anything reasonable to say..Just spewing hateful words on somebody who hasn't done you any harm other than prove you and his doubters wrong ..
Go and drink a cup of bitter leaf juice and sleep abeg .

You really are a Desperate Dan , but try to be more substantive and stop talking balderdash.

You are now clutching at straws and telling bare faced LIES garnished with huge amounts of disinformation.

Sadiq, played in the Serbian league over two seasons ago that is not RECENTLY maybe in your false narrative it is for you.

When he played there it was a poor league with limited quality players as results it was ranked 19th in Europe 2019/20. But they upgraded and got better players and without Sadiq they are rated 13 in Europe.

He then comes to poorer quality Segunda Division and has remained there for two consecutive seasons now.

Dude is an embarrassment to the SE.

First of all if you want to be honest, nobody knows the true age of African players born in Africa.

Nonetheless, Ighalo is 32 and we are talking a difference of 2 years ,thats inconsequential.

I will ask you how old is Ronaldo ❓I will tell you , 37 and last season at the age of 36 he scored 29 goal in Seria A.

Consider this Ighalo was the AFCON highest goal scorer last tournament and in this tournament it's Aboubakar both in their 30's. And funnily they both play in the same league.

Our best three strikers in the HERE and NOW from the current squad are Ighalo, Dennis and Victor no order of preference.

I noticed despite Simy scored 20 goals in Seria A last season 2020/21 double the goals of Victor O. Nobody really talks about him here or clamours for his inclusion in the SE. But we want a players like Sadiq and Nwakali from the poorly Segundo division.

Is that not not undue favouritism

Aboubakar looks like someone in his late 30s

You are yet to tell us the deep lying playmaker you wanted Eguavoen to take over Nwakali.

Your football mind is like someone in IT still using DOS when we have progressed to Windows 11. You are in a Nostalgic dream, for an era that has DIED.

Football has progressed and the days of one players knitting everything in midfield is not the favoured approach of the best teams.

The entire Midfield works hard as a collective .

Nwakali doesn't have the basic skills set to play as a quality Midfielder in the modern game. That's why he is the Segundo division and his club wants to offload him.

Bruv the discussion of age CHEATING in Africa will never end. Because its endemic and institutional as well as cultural.

I know somebody who married a woman who was older than him, by the time he discovered ,it was too late pikin don enter.

Look at our boys of U17 in the 2009 world cup then look at the boys of Switzerland, Brazil ( Coutinho, Neymar) see how they changed. Our own remain the same.

Leave that Matta for Matthias, if you are 40 and you can still perform then I'm ok with that whether you claim to be 21 or 25.

Look at Ashley Young at Villa if he was an African he will claim 24 nobody will argue with him

HERE AND NOW

Gotta say this GoodJoe, Aribo is also a deep-lying playmaker.

For his creativity and his goal threat, what impresses me about Aribo is that he tackles, wins the ball and set up transitions. From his deep position almost alongside Ndidi, you find him next in the opposition's box 18 threatening to score...

Nwakali can orchestrate from deep but his defensive workrate is next to nothing and would only work if he's with a workhorse and a sitting DM in a midfield trio to cover for him..

now am beginning to think they are condemning him, not due to that goal. but his fine boy no pimples show on twitter

I have watched Aribo play and no way you can tag him a deep lying playmaker. A lot of Aribo's game has to do with the ball and he loves advancing into attacking positions.

He is not a deep lying playmaker.

Whether DOS or Fotran, you can not force a system foreign to a coach to suit you. The coach has his philosophy and sticks to it.

By the way, in recent years, we saw Jorginho string games from deep and led Chelsea to win the Champions League and Italy to win the Euros.

I guess Mancini and Tuchel are stuck in the old era.

In the last San Siro derby, I watched Tonali sew the team of AC Milan together with his dictative play. I guess to you, Pioli is stuck in an old era of football.

If we want to continue playing with two strikers then it should be victor osimhen and Emmanuel Dennis up front


ihanaecho is a very lazy player and he should sit on the bench and come in later as a substitute


Victor osimhen and Emmanuel Dennis will pair nicely up front


with Emmanuel Dennis being the supporting striker and victor osimhen being the main man


I think both strikers can function well together because Emmanuel Dennis possess the skill set for a supporting striker and can track back anytime to help the defence


Then Moses Simon remains on the left wing while Ademola lookman plays from the right wing


Both wingers possess the skills to destroy any defence going forward and both are also good defensively


Joe aribo plays from the midfield as a 10 behind both strikers


Wilfred ndidi plays the defensive role here and he can pull it easily


We retain our centre back from the AFCON Kenneth omeruo and troost ekong


Zadiu sanusi plays the left back position and Ola aina the right back position


I feel Ademola lookman and Ola aina will link up well maybe I feel so cause they played together in Fulham


Then Francis Uzoho should be in goal he brings confidence to the team and we really need this


This formation can also be changed into a 4-5-1 formation with Emmanuel Dennis drafting into the right wing then Ademola lookman moves to the midfield and play the number 10 role

As usual talking off point. The coach says he wants a player that can control the game from deep. He calls Nwakali, you guys shout he is wrong.

I said, suggest a player, you say the role is out dated.

Please, in the past San Siro derby, Brozovic was immense for Inter Milan operating as a deep lying playmaker.

Ndidi sef Should score. Partey go use shot scatter our keeper from long range. So it has to be a better keeper in goal. We can't pretend this is a simple qualifier. Cos if it goes our way, we'd even forget the misdeeds. But if we fail to qualify, hmmmm. Person go dig up 2016 clip or info of how one person was never good, etc.

My opinion
There’s no spot for most of these guys switching to play
They should wait till after the World Cup.
Eberechi is good but is Lookman coming to bench Moses Simon ?
I doubt that
Except till next year once Ahmed Musa is retired.
Even Emmanuel Dennis isn’t sure of getting called up. Even if he is part of the squad he’d have to play number 7 and not 9 or 8

These foreigners think Nigeria is the English dust bin they can choose to walk into anytime
Koulibaly would have been a starter for France but he chose Senegal
I won't blame these foreign born players too Sha. Some played in u17 to u21 representing their country of birth. lived all their lives been born and brought up in a foreign country, it's always a difficult decision to switch.
