Philosopher1979:


Forget club form Samuel kalu is one of our best wingers. As per onuachu we don't need him. His style of play does not work for us. Awoniyi will do better than him for us. Onuachu will slow down our game and confuse us. Most of our good wingers love low ground crosses into the box 18 and he cannot do anything with the ball at his feet.
We have 5 strikers who are waiting. I keep repeating it Sadiq Umar is badly underrated and we should asses him. Imagine 17 assists a season and this season he already has 5 assists. We need a creative forward.

I like your knowledge of football

Andrew bid to be objective make him not to consider team chemistry and strengths sometimes when talking about this onauchu

Lets stop being sentimental he does not fit into our system

Do u know that u can play Sadiq/Nacho and Oshimen as 2 pivot attack in a midfield of Aribo/Frank and Ndidi with ejuke and chuks on both wings and still create and score goals but i doubt if you can do that with Onauchu

424 is not a stable formation especially as we’re playing without old fashioned wingers

But why are you so hell bent on this recruiting foreign born players agenda??

Let the NFF channel more funds and efforts into improving our football here...The foreign born will always be available for grab... It is up to them to declare interest in playing for us,not the other way around..

You are trying to imply that there's a dearth of football talents in the country and we should turn to abroad for help,which is simply not true...

There is nothing bad in recruiting FB players and doing so shouldn't stop us from setting up good structures and systems in place to develop and nurture home grown players

For now Pinnick started well with Zenith Bank under 17 tourney but today the tourney is dead and no capable grass root football at the moment we dont have a standing under 15, 17 and 20 team.... and he topled it with the appointment of mediocre coaches for the cadet teams

So we going after foreign born players is the solution to current super goals problem in the short run and more over it shouldnt stop us from developing our home grown structures.... it will even spoil us with options if both sources are well managed

Was watching the post match analysis of the Man U game honestly the comments from scholes really annoyed me. Ole coached a dreadful Manchester side today but Paul somehow made it all Pogba's fault like he was on the pitch when they considered 4 goals. Always questioning his commitment like it's pogba's fault that man u has had poor or shitty coaches since Ferguson retired. Shebi if Pogba is the one holding them back how come other players haven't powered united to glory?

Really disgraceful the free pass these ex-united players give ole but will be all over pogba should he as much as breathe smh.

sorry for the digression guys

I forgot about Samuel kalu ,he is also good and he is a threat to defenders

But awoniyi awoniyi played ahead Of onuachu against CAR nah ,abi are you still not okay by that ? Maybe you want him out of the team completely

Awoniyi play match yet you still want onuachu out,say no be juju be that ?

How will onuachu slow down our game and confuse us ? You can never explain this

When will these PSG owners realise and understand that this current PSG squad is too big for Pochettino, sack him and replace him with a coach like Zidane.

I don't even know what difference soqid will actually make in the team or what unique stuff he his bringing that osimehn the first choice doesn't have or even awoniyi who I consider should take the second spot but onuachu height gives him the edge from areal ball's and some people have even mentioned it here that he his not good with is feet only his head just to down play him but Which dey didn't realize is an added advantage to our cross and inshallah style grin grin grin if sodiq eventually get any call up he his coming to seat on the bench simple as ABC and get little minutes to show what he has to offer.

Sadiq will certainly offer more to the team..Much better than Onuachu... To start with,he is as much of a prolific scorer like Onuachu..and he is skillful,fast and creative...
In 209 career games, he has 111 goals and 46 assists.. that's 157 goal contribution in 209 games! For a striker,those are hug numbers..
Some might argue that he has been playing on low leagues for most of his career,but that's not entirely true... He played in Partizan in Serbia and recorded 23 goals and 19 assists in 52 games... With NAC Breda in Netherlands,he has 5 goals and 3 assists in 11 games...2 goals in 6 games for Roma.. The stats don't lie..

Onuachu is actually a very good striker...he is a proper goal poacher.. But the problem is that he isn't mobile enough.. He is the kind of striker you have to feed with the ball before he can perform.. his off the ball movement are poor..he can't even press well..
Right now,we don't have enough creative midfielders in our team,and our wingers are either poor crossers of the balls or more like wing forwards, so Onuachu will most likely be starved of service....that's why he is struggling..

I will totally support the idea of dropping him to give Sadiq his chance...
Sadiq has really improved from the timid kid many of us saw at the Olympics...

He's gone up another level this season,
And now he's arguably the best player in the world..

The super falcons have advanced to the next round of the AWCON qualifiers, but their performance today left much to desire...
If they continue,they may not make it to the AWCON...

This Pinnick guy is a big time clown... imagine appointing a college coach to lead the super falcons!!

Then I must say you got my message very wrong, but let me explain further.

You mentioned Kane as an example and your unpopular opinion boils down to Nigeria world class player. Either Kane was worth more and today he is worth 80m, nothing changes the fact that he was a world class player and he still remains one, so using Kane as an example doesn't correlate in anyway.

Osimhen was bought for close to 80m, it takes a world class or close to a world class player to be bought for such amount and today, Osimhen performance for Napoli this season means he is to be bought today by another club, he will surely cost more than 80m. So if he was a world class or close to a world class that made Napoli to purchase him with such an amount, what will you call him now that he seems to have performed more than the 80m Napoli paid to get him.

So my point is that as at today, Nigeria can boast of 2 world class players,
1. Victor Osimhen
2. Winfred Ndidi
Then Nigeria hopeful to be regarded as world class players in the next maybe 2 years
1. Samuel Chukwueze
2 Chidera Ejuke.
For Iheanacho, he is not a world class player, neither is he a bad player, he is just there, so he can be describe as a good player and if Awoniyi and Sadiq continues this their current forms, they might overtake Iheanacho in the world of football very soon.

Note that I am not saying Iheanacho is not a talented footballer, just that his continues stay at Leicester has stagnated it and if he had left to a team like Dortmund playing behind someone like Halaand, he would have been regarded as a world class player by now

According to your theory the following players who cost more than Osimhen are world class:

Joao Felix
Arizzabalaga
Nicolas Pepe
Dembele
Grealish
Arthur

Nigeria can only boast of one world class player which is ndidi

Even the ndidi many people will disagree with me

Osimhen is not a world class player yet but he will get there if he keeps working hard ,he is above average at least

Dzeko vardy Na 50/50 dem be for world class player yet you are already putting osimhen there who just started ,even ndidi self Na 50/50 but me calling him world class is just my own opinion

Ejuke and chukwueze cannot be world class playing for Villarreal and cska Moscow or other average European teams in the next 2 seasons ,they have the potentials to play for big teams so they should keep working hard

This should not even be an arguement
