komekn doesn't rate any Nigeria born and raised players..

For him, As long as they are born in England or in E:urope or U.S.A then that immediately means they are better than Nigerian born and raised players..

So please for your sake don't engage him when its between Nigeria born and raised players and players born in Europe.

Many of our politicians when they cannot engage you in a SUBSTANSIVE based discussion. They will resort to tribalism, evasion of FACTS, infantile name calling and telling bare faced LIES.

You typify the Nigerian politician all wind and fresh air no substance.

However, the application suffered a long delay due to the player’s (Lookman) inability to sort out his Nigerian passport and his failure to provide a written request for a change of association in line with FIFA regulations.

I'm not saying that we should treat them bad or give them bad accomodation. I'm saying irrespective of how we get the result in the field of play, make we press the button.

Aribo and Ndidi are.

Technique?
No, they are not.

Speaking of technique, players who have more technique than Iwobi include:
Chidera Ejuke, Ademola Lookman, Kelechi Iheanacho, Kelechi Nwakali, Samuel Kalu, Oghenekaro Etebo (Etebo has improved so much, the last i saw him)

Iwobi has good technique and is ahead of players like:
Samuel Chukwueze, Paul Onuachu, Moses Simon, Joe Aribo, Ndidi, Frank Onyeka etc.

Does Iwobi execute more technique in his game than Osimhen in the here and now? The conclusion is very equivocal. Osimhen keeps improving, Iwobi has regressed in some areas, but kept improving in areas like defending. For now i will still give it to Iwobi, even though the difference is negligible.

He shouldn’t be.
Saudi league doesn’t make sense
Ighalo has lost the pace he had in 2019
We have younger forwards in more competitive leagues.
Awoniyi, Osimhen, Onuachu, Dessers, Moffi.
He’s another Umar Sadiq if you ask me
It would be absurd if they recall Ighalo.
He retired in 2019
Don’t know why he’s still in the discussion mix


Aboubakar AFCON current golden boot winner plays in the same league but has not scored as many goals as Ighalo.

Ighalo was the golden boot winner in the last AFCON .

Players go to the Saudi league because they are offered insane amounts of money to play there, because they have been outstanding in the top leagues and clubs of Europe.

A few months ago Manchester United gave Ighalo a short term contract. Why because they needed PR.

As it stands no current Nigeria striker is COMPREHENSIVELY better than him and the only two who can compete with him not necessarily beat him are Dennis and Victor O.

Well I don't agree with their deductions .

And what unit of measurement did they use to come to those conclusion.

Then again its impossible to compare different league with the same conclusion.

The technical ability required in the EPL is different from the Bundesliga and La Liga. So at the best it gives a perfunctory insight that's subjective not objective.

Yes Awaziem is the best defender we have now.
Awaziem is a good defender.

What we fail to realise is that we are more depleted in central defense, than we are in midfield.

For the past Donkey years of where has Omeruo played in the backwaters of Europe essentially.

If he was as my good multiple clubs would have been trying to sign him. Why are multiple EPL clubs after Calvin because he outstanding.

Omeruo was in the Championship with Middlesbrough but couldn't gather any interest, why

Osimhen in played in French League and has gone to Napoli why because he is outstanding.

Omeruo essentially has experience of playing low level backwaters of Europe league football since he started.

Longevity is not quality.

I know you will bring up places he plied his trade, but i watch games.
Quality alone won't get you to the top.

Bassey is touted based on potentials.

You typify the Nigerian politician all wind and fresh air no substance.

The way you rate Europe born players above Nigerian born players is a combination of extreme racism and tribalism..

If you were in charge of any sporting federation in Nigeria... You will create an apartheid system,

I fight racists and tribalists like you with my own version of tribalism..

In a country like Nigeria, tribalism is very important...

Most Nigerian politicians don't engage anyone in any discussion, don't resort to tribalism because if they were tribalists Nigeria will be very developed, they don't evade facts , they don't do infantile name calling and they don't tell bare faced lies, they just assume and think they are talking to dull people..

which is the same way you talk to people on this thread, you assume everyone on this thread is dull and lack intelligence. you are condescending towards people on this thread which makes you a racist and tribalist. You are condescending towards Nigerian born and raised players which also makes you a racist and tribalist.

You are the one who typifies the Nigerian politician all wind and fresh air no substance.

Any Nigerian that doesn't support and highly rates Nigerians born and raised in Nigeria is a basta:rd..

and should never accuse Nigerians that support Nigerians born and raised in Nigeria of tribalism...

Following the bolded logic, then the new rating will be like so:

Currently, according to SofaScore:
Chidera Ejuke - 77% technique
Ademola Lookman - 74%
Iheanacho - 65%
Kelechi Nwakali - 62%
Iwobi and Osimhen - 61%
