Danielnino00: The team is top-heavy at the moment. I don't get excited anymore when a new forward hits the limelight. Waiting to see the prospects in other depts. in dire need of quality. Brazil went to Qatar with so many talented forwards only to get found out by a team with a superior midfield. 1 Like |

zuchyblink: I kinda disagree with the Ndidi part. He is not where he used to be plus he is prone to costly mistakes in his role He needs competition and I don't mean a makeshift player. We need someone we can really sub him with |

TheGoodJoe: If I were a coach, I will do a mourinho on him. Convert him to a creative midfielder with the eye for scoring. His take ons are sublime. Strong on the ball, confident and has accuracy with passes. Add goals to it and there you have a crazy 10 loading 1 Like |

kennysville: I agree. Pellegrini would have done wonders with him. He looks more suited for an offensive midfield role with the liberty to attack space in the forward areas. He looks complete. |

kennysville:convert him to a midfielder because the national team is lean in that department or because he is best suited for that position? What the national team is experiencing in terms of shortage of midfielders happens once in a while and he no distant that midfielders will emerge in top leagues in europe while other positions will lack capable personnels There was a time the team lacked good strikers, right backs and left backs but today it is well covered in those positions Only few national teams in the world can boast of been stacked in every position on the pitch I just hope bosso will work hard in unearthing better midfielders that will be integrated to the current u20 team for the wyc proper. Young ones like the one in Milan and inter in no distant time by God’s grace and hard work will start playing men’s football 1 Like |

charlesemeka85: It is a matter of personal preference. If he was invited to the squad and with all the array of players we have. I don't mind him playing as an offensive and creative midfielder... yes he plays as a striker but I will shaperly use him as an option for 10 on days Iwobi doesn't show up. Better yet.... play him in front 3 by eliminating one guy that usually plays on the left side of the pitch who perpetually thinks eagles revolve around him. |
Re: "The Super Eagles Thread: The Road To AFCON 2023, 2025 And 2026 World Cup by kennysville(m): 4:36pm On Mar 14, 2023 |
kennysville: I had to go back and watch that clip and realized yes I am right. He duly fits the role of a number 10. He has good vision, shoots with both feet, rugged on the ball, a goal scorer too with a knack for passing accuracy. What else are we looking for in a 10? I remember that Ben Iroha plays as a winger in his club but as a left back in the Super Eagles. We shouldn't be fixated on what might get disrupted. It is all about results and frankly, I believe he will deliver as a 10. |

kennysville:this is mere assumption after watching the lad in a short YouTube clip which comprises of he’s best moments on the pitch The boniface that I hv followed is a forward ie functions from the flanks and he’s primary position which is an out and out striker/9 Playing in the midfield in modern day football goes beyond having an eye for a pass. The same experiment that hv been tried with iheanacho countless times in the national team which he didn’t cover himself in glory |

Update: Manchester United Have Joined The Race Of Signing 20-year-old Free-scoring Nigerian 🇳🇬💪🏿 According to our source, the former English Premier League Champions, want to sign Gift Orban, and still have him stay out on loan at KAA Gent. This is coming few days after Chelsea's scout were speculated to have traveled to Belgium to see the kid in action. #NPFLUpdates True or false?

kennysville:mourinho will never convert a well built,physical and imposing striker like boniface to a midfielder Mourinho love physically built number 9s and will work hard in adding aggression to the lad’s game if he has the opportunity to hv him in his team Jose is a defensive minded coach who wants he’s players to sit back and keep shape while deploying fast wingers and a robust and pacy number 9 up front for hold up play, aerial dominance and physicality to bully defenders This is the reason why he signed lukaku for united and when the Belgian wasn’t delivering much goals he brought in zlatan At inter he had milito and etoo, porto he had benni, he’s first stint with chelsea he brought in drogba and during he’s return he signed costa from ATM Spurs he had kane, Madrid he had benzema and even brought in a more physical Adebayo on loan And now in Roma he has turned Tammy to a more physical striker than he was before 1 Like 1 Share |

charlesemeka85:Yekini was far better than all your present strikers,except Osimhen who still need to do more to overtake him. Osimhen can in d future become greater but he still need to score goals that will qualify us 4 WC,win us nation's cup,score over 37 goals for eagles before he can lay a legitimate claim of being greater or better than Yekin as far as nigeria football is concerned. Osimhen can b rated higher than Yekini in world football only because he didn't get d opportunity to play in top 5, but not in Nigeria football. Yekini is a legend, u cannot be allowed to run him down with such adjectives. Talk about technicality, How many of ur present strikers will hit the ball with such technique that he uses to score free kicks,none. Yekini's no brick layer,he was an elite striker. 7 Likes |
