Exactly. Like Akpoborie. Any one who has watched Super Eagles for a long time knows that not every striker is meant to be an Eagle
Onachu is definitely a Super Eagles player and none of your strikers is better than him aside Oshimen. Facts!

Osimhen
Moffi
Sadiq
Onuachu
Iheanacho
In that order...
Only reason Iheanacho isn't ahead of Onuachu is because of his lack of game time this season...
You can chose not to admit it, but there's some limitations to Onuachu's game that makes him not much of a sort after player..

I remember when Klopp took charge of Liverpool and we had Benteke who was one of the premier league prolific target man..He could score,but he was so limited in his performance..Always hanging around the 18 hard box for a pass... Klopp got rid of him immediately and started a false 9 system with Firmino that produced plenty of goals...

In terms of clinicality
None comes close except Osigoal.
I mean, he's numbers speaks for him.

Some players thrive mainly under specific systems while some others are more adaptable. Onuachu and Nacho (to a degree) thrive in a specific kind of tactical set-up. They can be good squad players but it makes no sense building a team around them.

Saliba is not better than kounde or araujo

Saliba won’t start for Barca

Kounde and araujo not playing is the reason we where kicked out of the champions league .

Good point you make. Onuachu needs tactical setups laid to bring out his strengths. Paul is an excellent 18-yard-box finisher unfortunately for him in today's modern game strikers waiting in the box for service is fast going out of service. A modern forward has to be involved in play which means you have to play well back to goal which Onuachu still struggles with.

But then, clinicality is just one thing..

Remember Iheanacho at city was very clinical with a lot of juicy chances being created for him.. at Leicester,under the right system he thrived too..

God bless you Chris... It's not that hard tp figure out really... The guy is a quality target man.. but players of his style are not in demand by top teams...

Funny enough, Bassey can cross a ball well but he is our best CB at the moment and will be wasted at LB

Bassey is not close to being our best CB. His flaws in that position is obvious to the keen eye.
Bassey is best as a fullback. It is his best position for now.

As mancity and arsenal looks like taking the first 2 spot

I will love the remaining2 ucl spots to be taken by a new team cheesy

For Moffi you can argue he's has performed relatively well in a higher level league compared to Onuachu but until we see Paul in a top 5 European league it will be unfair to draw that judgment. Sadiq got injured before he could take off properly in La Liga so we can't really use league performance as basis of whether Umar trumps Paul.

Now using national team football you can't really separate the 3 forwards in terms of lasting impact and performance. That said one can argue Onuachu has had a longer stay in the national team than the previous 2 and apart from his wonder goal against Egypt back in 2018 he hasn't exactly set the house on fire with his displays in the SEs.

Personally Moffi looks more like someone who could deputize for Osimhen. I was impressed with his game against Algeria recently. His overall output and not just his goal won me over. Overall I agree that the number 2 striker position is still not cast in stone and it's still open for anyone to grab that chance.

At the moment I can't put my hand on my chest and tell you who is better than Bassey in the CB position for the SE. Balogun who I would have pointed to some years back is not the most comfortable on the ball and also lacks pace. Omeruo is not it right now, Ekong always has a mistake in him, Awaziem still lacks defensive awareness and sharpness while Semi Ajayi is not exactly the wall of Gibraltar.

Akpoguma who one could have mentioned was definitely the weaker CB when Nigeria faced Algeria recently.

Bassey is a young upcoming player so it's not surprising you will fine flaws in his game at the moment. How many 21-year-olds not named Saliba are world class CBs at the moment? Give Calvin time he'll get better.

Miles better than any other striker we can boast of currently

Defensive awareness and sharpness is one of Awaziem's forte, and it is one of the qualities he has above the others.

What makes you think that Omeruo is not it right now? I want to know.

Regarding Balogun, is pace the first quality you consider in a CB.

I am yet to put a finger to the reason why Bassey started games ahead of Balogun at CB position in Rangers FC. I don't think it is for footballing reasons.

Bassey is a fullback, it is written all over his game, i mean his skills and decisions. As it stands, I will pick Awaziem, Balogun, Omeruo ahead of Bassey, they thrive better at CB.
