jubilantagida: Everton has a huge black population, so let's see how that works out. Vieira is not racist, Gallagher was his first choice before Lokonga. It's probably easier for him to convince players of his colour, or they better relate to him, or they prefer the uniform environment. 5 Likes |

Folarin Balogun's Hattrick rightly takes the spotlight but Cyriel Dessers also scored yesterday to help push Cremonese into the Coppa Italia Semis. Cremonese beat Roma 2-1. They will meet Fiorentina in the Semis on April 5. 8 Likes 1 Share

Don't mind these lots. Famzing Zombies. 🤣🤣🤣🤣 Funny enough, Akinsanmiro also featured briefly for Remo in the NNL/NPFL thanks to his prodigious talents. When I first dropped, in late December, Akinsanmiro's brief analytical profile here (like I do for other youngsters from the local scene) and even stated that he is bound for Inter Milan, hardly anyone paid attention to it. Only a few like TheGoodJoe and co. Now that January came and my post is confirmed, see how some come out and start talking about him as if they have known him since forever. I have uncovered players almost no one on this thread knew about before other Journos caught on. Akinsanmiro is one. Gift Emmanuel Orban is another. Jamiu Musbaudeen is yet another. Just to mention a few. I have talked about other young Naija Talents as well and will keep uncovering more for Public attention. Barryseal: 8 Likes 4 Shares |

We are stacked in the number 9 position but I still don't mind having Balogun as back up for Osimhen. The boy is very good. Infact what am I saying sef. We must cap that boy 🤣 |

TheSuperNerd: We are stacked, yes, but among our Central Striking Options within the Top 5 leagues, Balogun is the youngest as seen above. Chriskels made this point about Balogun's youth and I concur. This is part of the reason we must try get the lad. This, alongside his qualities in the #9 role. Ogochuks101: 2 Likes 1 Share |

gbengaolu360: Racism is institutional and endemic in the UK at every level. Example, English FA set up a panel to investigate Racism by former manager of Crawley Town, panel indicts him, same FA appeal against their own panel. https://news.sky.com/story/fa-will-appeal-against-penalty-imposed-by-its-own-panel-over-ex-crawley-manager-john-yems-racism-12793665 Ryan Ssegnon , Fikayo Tomori, Marc Guehi are much better defenders than Maguire, Dier, Stones ,Ben White and L. Shaw. But where ignored. Grealish is not better than Ivan Tony but ignored. When England played France thier best player was Saka and Foden was not doing much. But Saka was subbed off. This is what we call unconscious bias polite word for Racism, so white people are not offended. 1 Like

TheSuperNerd:I dont follow this thread back to back but I know you've played up a few names like these. Would have been better if there was a separate thread for that. Remember when we had a convo and I said that Remo had the closest thing to be called a football academy. I wish they could open other centres around the country to follow the template of INDEPENDIENTE DEL VALLE of Ecuador probably get to work with Aspire guys to have these catchment areas set-up across the country. They will make a killing if they do this. It will be like blood money.

TheSuperNerd:Yes we must cap that boy. But I think he might want to go with the US as they don't have a good striker at the moment. I also prefer him playing for the USA than him sitting on the bench for Harry Kane. |
Re: "The Super Eagles Thread: The Road To AFCON 2025 And 2026 World Cup by TheSuperNerd(m): 9:19am On Feb 02, 2023 |
I have always rated Folarin Balogun while he was at the Hale Academy. I recall saying I even rated him slightly ahead of Eddie Nketiah back then. Funny how both youngsters are tearing it up this season. I hope we can get him. I really hope so. Kid is special. Under this manager, Will Still, Balogun plays like he is in some Video game. Balogun being Triple-national is quite a problem for us. USA, England and then Nigeria. It's gonna be a battle to get him. At least, thanks Goodness Osimhen only had Nigeria as his nationality from the off-set. Problem too for dey if he was a dual-national. In all, bottomline, I hope we get him for sure.

Independiente del Valle is a side I follow closely in Ecuador. They produced Hincapie, Caicedo and co. I also know a few of their latest rising talents. This particular link you share is already in my scouting archives in one of my online notes. So, My good man, I am very much in the loop of things about this side and their youth structure in Ecuador. But thanks all the same. Good to know another in here is aware of Ecuador's biggest football talent factory in Independiente Del valle. Truth is I hope Remo Stars can get to this level in terms of Longevity and consistency in bringing through some of the finest talents in the land and then aim for the level of Benfica, Monaco, Ajax and co. And ofcos, I hope other NPFL sides can follow suit. Already our academy system is doing a lot for our grassroots talents discovery but more can be done if the pro clubs key in strongly. PS: If I create a different thread, some will think it's a ploy to lure attention away from this one. So yeah. Barryseal: 2 Likes 1 Share |

Nothing hurts them to acknowledge someone in here took his time and gave it a mention first instead of running takes like Copycat Zombies. If this came from another not called Nerdie, even you know it would be acknowledged. And sorry, Which Emeka? What is an Emeka? Don't give a hoot about whoever/whatever that is abeg. Vex wey no fit boil egg. 😆 And did I not tell you that you are guilty of repeating this same question? 😏 Akinsanmiro Ebenezer is among the names I gave you when you asked for Young AM/Midfield prospects.

Alongside Akinsanmiro and few youngsters I namedropped, I also casually dropped the name Azeez Oseni, an AM. Told you to look him up as well. Man, that's 4 names alone for the AM role (some also adept at CM) and in other midfield areas we still have Eletu at Milan coming through. And ofcos Musbaudeen (CM/CDM) at FC Midtjylland whom I also namedropped as soon as Onyedika made the leap from FCM to Club Brugge. ChrisKels: 1 Like 1 Share |

Maybe. But some of them belong to Academies that have YouTube channels. Truth is if one truly wanna seek talents, then they will and they will find a way to keep check. I am one example. BascoVanVeli is another. Some have often wondered how he consistently get videos of our local club showings from the NPFL, NNL and the NWFL. That's deep interest and passion.

Now that we can agree Osimhen has tremendously improved & is considered a world class striker He needs to minimize those injury prone duels. How did Messi & Ronaldo avoid injury for most parts of their 16 years on top career Our boy is injury prone. If you see the way Smalling used studs on his wrist Will Osimhen net 26 goals this season ? Only time will tell |

Honestly when we drag the NFF it's for things like this. You're just one person but see the thorough scouting you have done just from sitting in front of your laptop. Why aren't these individuals you have taken time and effort to spotlight anywhere near the cadet national teams? We have a long way to go with football administration in this country.
