I own the moniker sunshow and I have been on here for a long time. I was banned so I used that to comment since I did not want to do like others nominating themselves with there several alternative monikers

You sound so desperate, why do you have to talk about others nominating themselves with their alternative monikers here, when we all know sofar so good none of such has happened. That is wrong to say. For me that is enough to automatically disqualify you

First of all nobody is over exaggerating in delusional blindness about any player that is Nigerian origin in England.

You are a bigoted hypocrite steeped in crass double standard.

Tell me one Nigerian origin player in the UK that has done nothing beyond youth football in the past 8 years, that ANYBODY talks about here

He gets into according to you team of the week "severally" whatever that means. That narrative has been never ending even when he was in the poor level Segunda Division.

He is so good according to you not one better club had put in a substantive bid for him in 8 years. Arsenal had to beg clubs to take him for free as a favour.

Now tell me one, not two Nigerian origin player in England with such an abysmal mediocrity record of football that ANYBOY has mentioned here.

The players I have mentioned in the past and I am talking 4 years ago, I have not mentioned because they are not good enough . However, shockingly they are all doing much better than him.

Nwakali will not get into English League one, he is that poor.

It's an absolute disgraceful disservice to this forum and to all Nigerian players across Europe who are striving for recognition when all we do is Nwakali hype and over hype.

We are supposed to be looking at emerging outstanding talented players across Europe in top leagues who can bring values to the SE. Not over hyped historical never do wells like Nwakali.

Some of you typify the Nigerian mentality of recycling dead geriatric criminal corrupt politicians and calling them saints. That's what you are doing with Nwakali.

Imagine the arrant nonsensical proposition that he the only midfielder with the skill to pass long ball, utter madness.
This transfer window has not been kind to Komekn. Baba never recover from Nacho's move to Sevilla. Now Nawakali don join League one.

Iheanacho is well-known as Senior Man everywhere even outside Nigeria,
