for number 1 you are correct but for number 2 you are not correct. You mean if salah is ready to leave Liverpool today, nobody will pay close to 100mill for him?

PetroDolla2020:
You are obviously a novice in football. What makes your current team better than Ghana?

Just relax. March will soon come and we’ll settle it on the field. I don’t know why you Nigerians like to argue unnecessarily all the talk upanddown will not determine the outcome of the match. So why waste your time on needless arguments?

If you nigerians want to boast upanddown, we’ll that is your business.

By the way, don’t even bring Salihu matter into the black stars issue,okay? Do you know why Salihu is said to be not interested in playing for Ghana? There are many thousands of players out there who will feel honored to put on the Black Star jersey any day

Osimhen is not Salah bro

He is not at that level yet. It remains to be seen if he will be at that level

But fine, if Juve or Bayern, Barca, Man City come for Osimhen, na celebration be that

I just stated an opinion even though far fetched. I am not in anyway wishing him evil

Mujtahida:

I don't understand how issues are analysed here. Under Rohr we played drab football, anywhere-belleface football and lost to CAR and other low ranking teams.

Under Eguavoen, in just 3 weeks, we played just the normal Nigerian football. Nothing spectacular about it yet after we lost, the narrative - and the mockery from zuchyblink - is that we lost because we played champagne ghen ghen football but you overlook the fact that the champaign football took us to the 2nd round.

That match against Tunisia is the ugliest football we played at the AFCON. It was the most unchampagne like football we played at this Afcon. It was as if the team was channeling it inner Rohr spirit. Rachety, tetchy, broken football.

I know we lost but there's a promise in this team if we do not let that defeat to define this moment. Will Eguavoen learn nothing like Rohr learnt nothing if he stays five years on the job?
Two years contract won't be bad.

Mujtahida:

Roll in the mud. It's your place.

jihday:
you said African player now you talking about level, if you had mentioned level I for even no argue. There have been loads of African players who ended up playing for big clubs so your assertion is wrong, but I agree that Napoli owner will make it a bit difficult

daveP:
Ezenwa oozes better confidence than those two. Especially defending CKs.


Oh, some will say his time is up.


Na only us dey give timeframe for who and who suppose come rep team.

Beloved03:


Eguavon was taken to the cleaners too easily by the Tunisian team. It was glaring that the wings were not working.

But then like you said, he barely had time to prepare for the AFCON and there honestly has not been enough games to assess him with.

The problem is that if he continues and qualifies us for the world cup, it would be a risk because we don't have enough info on his technical capability based on the few games. We only know that he can set the team up to play adventorous football.

To be honest I would rather we draft in Peseiro after Egu qualifies us. At least Peseiro is a proven coach with some pedigree. That way we would be reducing the risk of having an unassessed coach lead us to the world cup.

nelszx:

Both wingers were rightly cancelled in the game. 2 players covering the winger then another player running behind making 3 players marking both wingers at every occasion.

The difference in that game would have been utilizing the midfield and not reliant on the wingers. We lost that game because we do not have any plan in the game aside the wing play

Papi85:
I never told you I am exonerating maduka from any blame but if you are being honest with your self eguavoen was outclassed tactically by the Tunisians hoooha

Leave sentiment and absorb facts and truth. Our style of play right from the group stage to meeting the Tunisians was too predictable and I made mention here before the 2nd round game that a good tactical dreaded side will deal with eguavoen team mercilessly which came to past against the cartage eagles

Football is not only based on passing and dribbles, man to man we were better than the Tunisians but tactically there were levels miles ahead of us in the game

elyte89:
On d issue of osimhen commanding a 100million transfer fee or not,at d moment it's not possible,judging by his current output..not taking away d injury issues he faced though.

Only few players can get 100million and above transfer fee at d moment..dt vhlalovic abi wetin b d guy name, dts really in form was sold 4 71million euros or so

Mujtahida:

I don't care about Eguavoen leading us or Peseiro even though my preference is Eguavoen.

We lost, diagnosis of the cause of our loss is not because we played ghen ghen football. That's just my simple point.

Danielnino00:


Tunisia themselves looked clueless throughout the match..The only thing they did better was to neutralize Simon and Chukwueze wing.. How many times did they get into our own box before that goal?
Maduka cost us the game as much as Eguavon did... Admit it..
He doesn't deserve the number one shirt by any means whatsoever...
At this point,I'd pick Akepyi ahead of him..

jihday:
don’t know why people love to act like Iwobi that was sent in to remedy the situation wasn’t sent off barely 5min after coming in. I think if that red didn’t happen we would have gotten something from the game

darkelf:


Thanks for asking

Number 1 - Napoli's asking price would be at leaset 100m

Number 2 : Teams in Europe tend to shy away from buying African players for such ridiculous amount

Number 3: Kalidou Koulibaly has been a World class Defender for many years now and hasn't left Napoli. Why? See Number 1 and Number 2

darkelf:


Cry some more



Fake scholar

Mujtahida:

It was the day we were to lose. There are days like that.

We were slow, ponderous and listless in the first half. That was when we lost that match.

Tunisia on the other hand, wanted to drag that match to penalties. Before that shot that led to the goal, they had no shot on target. How then did they tactically outclass us?

jihday:
I agree we started the game badly, the people criticizing the coach for not making halftime sub are being unfair. At halftime he surely gave team talk and must have thought ‘let me see how they’ll react to it’ before taking further actions. We were just unlucky that day

Mujtahida:

Mercilessly with 1-0? Omo, defeat is bad

In 98, Denmark beat us 4-1. That was a merciless beating and tutoring.

But this Tunisian team, at a certain level feels like a fluke victory to me.

Mujtahida:

I'm only thinking that would Eguavoen stagnate like Rohr if he's given 5 years on the job?

I feel two years should be given to him. Eguavoen's error is that he wants the team to play like the 94 team. Shows his thinking is stuck in the past.
Yes our strength has always been the wings but I remember saying that we should develop other strengths so that we don't become a one pony trick team.

Joezinho:



This is exactly the same way most of us saw the game with the Tunisians and they beat us. Football isn't mathematics bros. If football is how you see it then I don't think the Egyptians would be in the QFs right now.

This tunisia game still hurts. Maybe our failure to qualify for WC 2006 and ANC 2015 are worse, but this is the worst failure in a tournament proper...

fabyom:
All the great sides utilize wing play. It's normal in football. It's not as if the 94 team invented it. Counter attacking football has bested the best of teams and managers. Without the red card and lack of quality upfront we would have won. Now Oshimen and Dennis will be back why hire a man selling groceries in Portugal for the past 2 years when you have a man that understands the game.

TFLASHOGEE:
yes we are better than you guy's we have a team infact we are having a full Squad come march to play a depleted Ghanaian national team that your player's aren't will to honour a national team call or you think we don't know how salisu rubbished one of your administrator that how messed up you guys are and you will never see us better than you guy's till the eagles come to Accra

Karlovych:
I'm surprised, why would he reject the opportunity to play for Ghana? It's not like he's eligible to play for another country, unless he doesn't want to play international football.

Mujtahida:

I'm surprised at his analysis. Said Tunisia tactically outclassed us. Maybe Tunisia outwitted us but certainly we were not outclassed

Beloved03:


And when Akpeyi commits another blunder against a Mahrez-Algerian last minute free kick, you will switch back to Okoye as your pick right?

Una never Sabi wetin una want.

hmmm, well, do you know something, I actually thought about something recently, I was reading transfer rumors the other day and I saw Jonathan David, the guy Lille bought as replacement for osihmen and was linked to a few top clubs, I already seen his football and comparably osihmen trumps him, however he is highly rated by the media and I know cuz he’s Canadian, Anyways.

1-Definitely Napoli will ask above 100 million

Although, your number 2 assertion is not wrong, but I believe consistent top class performance from him which I expect barring any “mumu” injury crisis will make at least EPL clubs to grab him. Added the advantage of insigne and Mertens imminent departures, the mantle of scoring goals automatically fall on him. If na goal, any type, leg, head, shot, 1 on 1 I trust osihmen.

I might also add the fact that, generally, African strikers tend to blow in Europe than any other departments. Nobody will ignore a 23-25 year old Tall, clinical, powerful and fast goal scorer. Etoo, drogba are legends.

About koulibaly, well I don’t know why the guy no comot for there since, maybe age factor, who gonna pay 100 mill for a 29 year old black man from Senegal, but the guy better pass maguire 80 million….

I hope osihmen cross over to the EPL in a season or two ASAP, he can comfortably cut it at west ham, Everton, Aston villa etc even at this erratic form, not to talk of top form. Kindly check Osihmen’s form and movement pre injury.
