I used the word help. We can not depend on Fernandinho the whole season. We need more.

The first person I feel we must sign is Dahoud. He is a natural marathon runner. His coach tries to reduce his running on the pitch. Fernandinho will not last long because of his age and Dahoud will need another runner to help him.

Man City will buy more and promote more. Gundogan can also help in the deep role. I feel one or two is not enough. That is why Chidi is important to the team.

BascoVanVeli:


The only player i see capable of KDB's role is Yaya. He and Pep need to get over their egos if not it will be like last year when he got injured.

Icon4s:


Well, i wish Chidi well but I dnt see him breaking into the City's squad. Atleast not any time soon.

forgiveness:
I 4 respond to the post above but I no wan make people vex hence I withhold my comment 4 another day.

At least, any small pikin wey read this thread in 30 years time go no who bi d number 1.

Icon4s:


Kanu Nwankwo remains Nigeria's greatest football export. You can take that to the bank.

Icon4s:


I once met an Argentine in Calgary. Immediately i introduced my self as a Nigeria he just mentioned "Okocha!". Next thing he started discussing how much he admires Okocha's skills.

Kanu and Okocha remain our two greatest legends.

Meanwhile, for current news that people should give a shiiit about, there was a 7-aside today at training camp, Obaje scored a brace and Kelechi got a hat-trick

Hopefully, they can take such blistering form to Zambia and notch in some goals. The more the better so that some people will stop wanking over Yekini and his not-so-awesome record

tbaba1234:


90 goals in 114 games is awesome on whatever planet. Yekini is still the record scorer.

Kelechi is doing a great job of taking over the mantle. Long may it continue.

safarigirl:
I thought the record was 37, when did it get to 90?

Yaya can not help at all. The problem is not KDB. The media had that wrong. The problem came from Wanyama over running the midfield and that gave room for the Tottenham forward and attack midfield players to press at will.

Yaya Toure is poor defending he would not have kept up with the running. When Iheanacho, Sane (Both U21) and Gundogan came in, they brought in more fluid play because of their work rate.

Fernandinho was tired, so was Fernando. The exhaustion from the running of the Celtic game took a toll on them.

With more runners (defensive), we can rotate and remain fresh.

BascoVanVeli:


For his club in Portugal where they called him "O Deus Negro" black god.

BascoVanVeli:


Man city lacked cutting edge and Yaya can provide that. Just like David Silva has stepped up defensively Yaya can too. KDB can create out of nothing just like his first goal against man u, great header from Iheanacho but other players won't see that opportunity. Yaya can provide the same way like his shot off Iheanacho's back or the slobber knocker against the gunners. Name another midfielder that can provide what Yaya and KDB can?

tbaba1234:


For his club in portugal.. Even his national team record has not been beaten in over 20 years.

safarigirl:
because most players can't stand the NFF and their antics long enough to even score 20 goals for the NT.

safarigirl:
oh, well, I'm more concerned with goals for country. I believe that's what this is about?

safarigirl:
Yaya is old and way past his prime, I don't know if you saw him last season towards the end, but each game, he looked more and more like a chicken gasping for breath than a player with cutting edge.

So, I strongky disagree that Yaya can help Coty, in this modern day of pacy players, last thing anyone needs is a slow CMF, dragging his heavy body across the field

BascoVanVeli:


If this was about goals for country then case closed. 37>12

tbaba1234:


not true, Yakubu played about the same number of games with less goals. Martins did not even come close. No one was prolific enough to match him. Kelechi has started well.

The record has lasted that long for a reason.

safarigirl:
Martins was on and off, a lot like V. Moses, some days you think he's stellar, other days, he's just shiiit in a fancy wrapper.

Yakubu? His allegiance has been questionable following his World Cup horror

zicky:
I need to join you laughing at his dry joke,Kanu not in top 3 hahahahahahahhahkwikwikwiwkwiwkwi

TheSuperNerd:
Abeg... I just gotta post the news one of us cited... Looolllll... It's kinda hilarious and uhmm... Maybe they have "a point" or do they? Loolllll....

ZAMBIANS THROW SHADE ON NIGERIANS:
YOU ARE OVER RELIANT ON KIDS (IWOBI &
IHEANACHO)





Three highly respected Zambian journalist have
taken swipe at the Super Eagles of Nigeria ahead of Sunday’s World Cup 2018 qualifiers clash against the Chipolopolo in Ndola.


James Lungu told Owngoalnigeria.com that
Nigeria is no longer a force to be reckoned with in global football due to the dearth of quality
footballers in the country, unlike before.


” I heard Victor Moses is not playing, that is good news. Who do you have? Mikel? , he sits on the bench at Chelsea, the rest are average players, except Kelechi Iheanacho and Alex Iwobi. You don’t win games with kids” He said.


James Kennedy also shared same opinion as his
compatriot, insisting that Zambia have got more
experience in their team than Nigeria.

” We have players with more experience than you guys. Nigerians are quick to shout Iwobi. We see them on social media. Iheanacho, they are kids, am not sure they can cope with the demands of a World Cup qualifiers. You need experience in the African terrain to do that”. He concluded.
