I believe Solanke is an excellent prospect and Nigeria should get him if possible. BUT all the comparisons are needless. At this point, both players are just prospects. Anything can still happen. 1 Like |

TheGoodJoe: Don't you think the fact that they came from Eredivisie to become top goal scorers makes the Premier League look easier to goal goals? And how come they just from Eredivisie to score at will in premier-league? If the Eredivisie is easier how come they don't win the European Golden shoes yearly?  |

forgiveness: It seems you do not understand the post. Graziano Pelle Eredivisie First season = 27 goals Second season = 23 goals. Epl First season = 12 goals Second season = 9 goals so far. This alone shows how far difficult it is in the EPL. |

They were two in number sef....... Godwin Obaje who was said to be scoring goals for fun in training and Bright Onyedikachi who was so good Siasia didn't want him to leave camp but stay by sending him to the U-23 camp alongside Obaje. Obaje stars for Wikki Tourists while Onyedikachi stars for Ifeanyi Ubah FC. terzurum5: 2 Likes |

Don't mind him........ hahahahahaha..... he's at it again. Stating only part of the facts that will make Solanke look better. #smiles Solanke is a great talent but Sir Forgiveness is taking this too far...... way too far. Nacho only played about 8 games overall for Man City's EDS (U-21s) in 2014/2015 in all competitions (1 in Fa youth cup, 1 or 2 in Fa intercontinental cup, 1 in uefa youth league-- 11 mins, the remaining 4 or 5 games in the FA U-21 league.) and we all know why...... INJURY AND INITIALLY, WORK PERMIT ISSUES It was once said that Hitler applied a powerful law to get what he wanted as regards the Jews.... Hitler constantly repeated a lie in the ears of the Germans and beyond about the Jews. He repeated it so much that soon it came to be believed as the truth or whole fact. This law states that, ".....if a lie is repeated long enough in the ears of many, soon it will become known as the truth....." Solanke is an awesome and fantastic rising prospect but you can't place him in the class of another young player who's his club's senior team's most prolific or best impact player. Sir Forgiveness, why do you give room for some forumites to think you speak mainly for players of Yoruba heritage? I know you're Yoruba... *don't ask how I know.... I just know* #smiles BUT I STILL BELIEVE OR WANNA BELIEVE THAT YOU DON'T USE TRIBAL SENTIMENTS TO TALK FOOTBALL. Please Sir, I know I'm not the first to bring this up. You've probably been accused along this line before but what I do now is different...... i'm only making an innocent observation. I don't accuse you of anything.... it's just an observation (don't blame me, I'm a scientist and keen observer....... #smiles). Some folks here could easily point to the central core of players for which you speak up.......... From Kayode, to Ajagun, to Solanke, to Odubajo, to Owobowale, to Adekanye Bobby, and many more. Sir, it's just an observation. I believe in due time, you'll put off these suspicions. I admit some of the talents you vouch for regularly are great prospects e.g. Dominic Solanke.... but my observation still remains. Hope y'all had a great day.... #smiles TheGoodJoe: 1 Like |

forgiveness: Are you saying the Eredivisie is more difficult than the EPL? Your stats did not prove that the Eredivisie is harder than the EPL. You are even taking results of long time ago. Why not use the results of the recent Eredivisie attackers. When did Bergkamp and Dirk Kuyt play in the EPL. You are funny. Wilfried Bony scored 31 goals in 30 matches (Eredivisie) In Swansea he scored 16 goals in 34 matches. (EPL) Is the Eredivisie easier than the EPL? Please, are you trying to prove that the Eredivisie is tougher? 1 Like |

Solanke should improve and give us stats like Bony and Guidetti. You are the one who shouts mediocre. 7 goals in 17 starts is mediocre for an Eredivisie hitman. |
| Re: All The News About The Olympic Eagles (U-23) HERE! by TheGoodJoe(m): 7:33pm On Apr 05, 2016 |
Luiz Suarez Third season = 43 matches = 28 goals That is the kind of stats we need from Solanke. |

forgiveness: What are you showing? Did I change my stand? The EPL is by far difficult than the Eredivisie. To come in from the Eredivisie and perform well, you have to be prolific. Even prolific Eredivisie finds it difficult. So showing me prolific Eredivisie talents doing well in the EPL or average players doing well in the EPL does not change the fact. The EPL is far more difficult than the Eredivisie. Do you think the EPL is harder than the Eredivisie? |
| Re: All The News About The Olympic Eagles (U-23) HERE! by TheGoodJoe(m): 7:49pm On Apr 05, 2016 |
In the Eredivisie, it is unimaginable to see Depay, Bony and Pelle bench. In the EPL, you find them sitting on the bench in games. The EPL is harder unless you want to prove to me the Eredivisie is harder. |

forgiveness: I can boldly tell you that in every line up, the coach set him up as the striker and not a winger. He is a striker. He has started every game as a point man and he replaced the point man in every game. How you want to convince me that he plays as a winger baffles me. Strikers drift to the wings and drop deep during games. That does not make them Wingers or midfielders. |

forgiveness: When did I say that an Eredivisie good goal scorer can not score in the EPL. I am asking you, which of the league is harder. If you do not know, why are you arguing. The best player of the Eredivisie in recent years, Bony is benching in Man City. That is enough to tell you how difficult it is in the EPL. Pelle benches in some games. |

TheGoodJoe: Experementing! Bring Eredivisie player to EPL and if he performs very well. The conclusion will be Eredivisie players excel in EPL. Short and simple Statistics shows it is also easy for most eredivisie to score for fun in "difficult" EPL. Simple! |
| Re: All The News About The Olympic Eagles (U-23) HERE! by TheGoodJoe(m): 8:37pm On Apr 05, 2016 |
forgiveness: I am baffled with the way you argue football. Solanke is a reserve player for Chelsea. It is difficult for him to see shirt. At Vitesse, he is a regular striker. John Guidetti was a City reserve. He hardly saw a game. He went to Feyenoord and was their regular player and top goal scorer. Does that not tell you that the Eredivisie is far easier than the EPL? I did not say Eredivisie players can not score in the EPL. I said the EPL is harder. So showing me stats that Eredivisie attackers can score does not prove that the Eredivisie is easier. Stop prolonging simple fact. You know the Eredivisie is far easier than the Premier League. Every serious football fan knows this. Even Solanke. |

The dutch league is a developmental league. Youngsters use it to make the step up. When they start showing signs of being world class,they move to better leagues. Not all players live up to the potential,For every suarez and ibrahimovic, there is a keizman and a kalou who did not reach their peak. |

forgiveness: I am a Wijnaldum fan and I feel he can do better with a better team. I am an Anita fan. I am one hundred percent a Luiz Suarez fan and I feel he is Arsene Wenger's greatest mistake. The first club I ever followed was Ajax Under Van Gaal. The problem with you is that you see everything as an attack. If Solanke was my younger brother, I will tell him to work hard and improve his stats. Many have seen me write Nacho should keep working hard. I am not pulling down the Eredivisie. It is a fact and if Solanke is to convince the Chelsea staffs that he is good enough for the club, he needs to perform better. We know he can do better. You do not need to get defensive in everything. At the end we do this for the love of Nigerian football. If Solanke wants to play for us and he becomes better than Ronaldo De Lima, it is for the development of Nigerian football. |

ENOUGH OF SOLANKE palava. If He wants to play 4 naija make im come out plain like Iwobi. EXCLUSIVE: Alex Iwobi wants to be part of Nigeria Olympic squad Apr 5, 2016 14:51:59 Exclusives The Arsenal youngster has praised the work of coach Samson Siasia for delivering Nigeria a ticket to Rio 2016 Arsenal forward Alex Iwobi wants to be a part of the Nigeria squad to the 2016 Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro after failing to see the Super Eagles reach the 2017 Africa Cup of Nations. Coach Samson Siasia was the first person to invite Iwobi to the U23 collective ahead of qualifying for Rio 2016 but he could not take part due to his past with the English youth teams. The 19-year-old eventually committed his future to Nigeria when he made his competitive international debut in the disappointing defeat to Egypt in last week’s Afcon qualifiers. “It was a massive disappointment for the team that we did not qualify for the forthcoming Africa Cup Nations,” Iwobi toldGoalafter scoring in Saturday’s 4-0 win for Arsenal against Watford. “The coaches and players worked so hard to gain the ticket but it's a shame we didn't get through. We conceded a late goal in Kaduna and unfortunately we were unable to convert our chances in the second leg in Egypt.” The player who has been described as ‘special’ by Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger has turned his attention to Rio. “I am looking forward to the forthcoming Olympics and if I am invited, I will do my best to make a meaningful contribution,” he said. “I believe that Nigeria has a crop of excellent players who are capable of doing great things at the Olympics. Coach Samson Siasia deserves a lot of praise for securing a place for the nation at the Olympics. “I do not have any regrets whatsoever in opting to play for Nigeria and will always do my best whenever I put on the green white green colours of Nigeria. I hope to be involved in the forthcoming World Cup qualifiers too. “I am very grateful to my team mates, the Nigeria Football Federation, coaches, the press and fans for the warm welcome I received following my decision to come home. “Nigeria is a great footballing nation and deserves to assume her rightful place in Africa and world football and I am keen to be part of a team that achieves this goal,” Iwobi concluded. Nigeria will head to the Olympic Games in August before playing their first 2018 World Cup qualifying game in October. http://m.goal.com/x/en-ng/news/4078/exclusives/2016/04/05/22013892/exclusive-alex-iwobi-wants-to-be-part-of-nigeria-olympic *make u no vex o.
