Nwakaeme is not even up to Utaka that fired Montpelier to a league title not to talk of greats like Kanu, Yakubu, guy dey calm down grin
Subzero47:


Wait Okocha wasn't a great but Nwakaeme is

grin grin grin grin grin

To explain how great Nwakaeme's legacy in Europe is, let's use SubZero to analyse.

Okocha played for PSG three seasons in the 1990s. During that 10-year period PSG won 9 trophies, only one came with Okocha.

That is the only trophy in his 18-year career.

Okocha played for Fenerbeche for two seasons, no trophies, despite the Turkish club winning 8 titles in the 80s and 90s.

But Okocha is a generational talent who can dribble and playmake so in the eyes of many, he is automatically one of Europe's greats.

Trabzonspor have won only 6 trophies in the 21st century (22 years), 2 of those have come with Nwakaeme as a key player.

He has been with them only 3 seasons.

In fact, Trabzonspor had not won a trophy in the 9 years before they signed Nwakaeme.

Now he is going to win them their first league title since 1983.

We have not added his 5 trophies in Israel in just 4 seasons.

There's a difference between the best players and the greatest players.

Valdes is not regarded by many as one of the best GKs in history, but he is one of the greatest without a doubt.

Victor valdez is one of the best GK ,but many will say he is not that good ,mostly epl followers ,now ask them why he isn’t that good ,they will tell you he is hardly tested because Barca always dominate cheesy

So because Okocha won 1 trophy in Psg and Nwakaeme won two, Okocha is not a legend and Nwakaeme is? Do you know that Okocha won the BBC African player of the year and was top 3 shortlisted for African player of year, where is Nwakaeme's individual awards? Because Nwakaeme is going to win a league (he has not won) he is to be considered a great where do you place players like Onuachu who won the league as top goalscorer and best player? Emmanuel Dennis, Aribo, Utaka,Victor Moses and co

Edit: For somebody who is claimed to be dragging his side to the league he's not even the top 7 goalscorers in Turkey and he's not even the top goalscorer in his team grin

Performance of a player who played 90 mins in the entire tournament and scored a goal? Clear bias. For your info, that is the best goals per minute ratio of any striker currently in the SE.

Unfortunately your opinions are inconsequential as he will keep getting into the team with his club performances, and with performances like the Tunisia game, you can bet your house he will be at the world cup.

You may be right.

Any nation that can select a player who has done nothing since youth football into their national team is not serious.

Then to have proven established players from the EPL like Iwobi and Onyeka sitting on the bench for Nwakali to play. Tells you that anything is possible.

I expect to see a few players from the NPFL as well as player's from obscure poor quality leagues as well.

First of all, I never said Okocha is not a great, he won the Olympic, AFCON, included in Pele's top 125 of all time. That is a great player.

I said he isn't a European great.

Because his greatest achievements came in Africa not Europe.

Okocha is one of the best players of all time history.

I said Nwakaeme will be one of the greatest Nigerian players in Europe, something which Okocha isn't.

TheLoneCitizen:
Anthony Nwakaeme has to go down as one of Nigeria's greatest in Europe.

Just took Trabzonspor to within 16 points of a first title in about 50 years, with a goal, assist, 8 chances created and 6 dribbles.

From two goals down.

Okocha won 1 trophy in his whole career in trophy-winning clubs.


His two Balon d'Or nominations came in 95 after Nations Cup win and 96 after Olympics win.

His first BBC APOTY came in his first season in England after last day goal to keep them in league. BBC is English, don't forget.

His second BBC APOTY came after his 4 goals in AFCON 2004 as top scorer.

What did Onuachu do? Win the league for Midtjylland?

What did Dennis do? Aribo? Victor Moses? What spectacular things did they do?

"he's not even the top 7 goalscorers in Turkey"

Nwakaeme has 18G+A this season, the highest in Turkey and the second highest among any Nigerian in the world.


He has been Nigeria's best player in the last 5 years, and has won 33% of all Trabzonspor trophy this century.

This your inconsistency is really confusing. Now his performance in the AFCON is the reason he should be discarded. It is no longer about him being a useless player. This is someone who played less than 90 mins in the whole tournament, scored a goal, and played well in the last game. What happened to "your consistency in the in your club should get you to the SE"? So now you don't care if he gets to La Liga or not, he should not be invited anymore. If that is not bias, I don't know what is.

"You have to be a lion in a small league/club for you to be considered"...he has proven consistent over the past 2 seasons and is instrumental to Almeria's promotion fight. But alas, that is no longer acceptable.

"If he was that good, why has no team come for him"...but.. but... Ovie has been in the championship for many years and his mates have left him there. But this condition only applies to Sadiq.

You praised Vardy to high heavens here for rising form the lowly doldrums of English football to the premier league, but for Sadiq it doesn't matter. He's just not worthy to be in the SE. Again, if that is not bias, I don't know what is.

The way I see it, you really don't have the moral standing to accuse people of prejudice and bias.

I watched his performance for the SE in the AFCON so even if he played for Bayern Munich or Manchester City.

My opinion would be the same he was an embarrassment to the SE, and was extremely poor in the AFCON. Because he scored a tap in doesn't all of a sudden make him Drogba. Everything about his centre forward play for such a big man was abysmal.

Try somebody else.

Ovie has been injured with a groin injury for months and has just returned under new Manager Paul Ince. I am not sure what the comparison is. Ejaria prior to injury was an outstanding player in the Championship and still is.

Finally, Segundo division and Championship are miles apart. And unless the financial inducement is considerably higher many player's opt to stay in the Championship for instance Ayew was on £83k a week in Swansea.

The other difference is Sadiq has had 4/5 seasons in first tier leagues but was anonymous and unable to progress. He has dropped to a much lower and less competitive league and now a Lion in the Segundo division.

He is outstanding in this league but then is this his level and can he produce the same level of progression in La Liga ? We will soon find out hopefully as his team seem well positioned to get to La Liga.

You need to understand what prejudice and bias means. You think he is great ,I think he is poor, that's not prejudice or bias. You have low expectations I have higher, very simple.

His performance in club and league got him selected to the SE. But his performances in the AFCON should get him deselected.

Thankfully we have Dennis, Ighalo and Victor O he is not needed.

Many reasons. If Onuachu is so good why has he remained in Belgium.

He will be a great in the league, not many Nigerians can boast of that.

Others are restricted to clubs.

I could guess albeit knowledge based.

Onuachu has a long term contract from when he signed for Genk in 2019. I expect he will be on £25k a week. He is not the type of forward player that top clubs are looking for.

That leaves other clubs who may not think he is eirth the money. Maybe when he becomes a free agent , he might get a few better teams to consider him.

Baba, me I'm not arguing with you how good a player he is o. I'm just pointing out the double standard and basically the kettle that calls the pot black. Plus, it's convenient to make these excuses for Ovie but not Osimhen, huh?

There is nothing partial about it. Those other angles do not show when Rodri contacted the ball. This angle does and it is not clear handball, so VAR cannot rule penalty.
