Championship is not beans. It is also challenging. We have seen teams from the Championship like Bournemouth come to the Premier League and cause the big boys problem. What Aluko is doing there is a amazing. Deserves praise and respect.

You still can't compare Aluko's performance in the championship with the likes of what Moses, Iwobi, Ndidi, etc are doing in the EPL.

Icon79:


I gotta confess, I haven't really been following his games this season because the only team I watch in the championship is Newcastle.

but regardless, playing in the championship is a different ball game from playing in the EPL or the equivalent. So you gotta take his achievements with a grain of salt, the level of the opposition matters.

Let me start with yr last paragraph. Pls how many Nigerian players or ex-junior internationals are making waves in Europe over-all.

Talking about Ramon Azeez.
I loved that guy that year when he played U17. He was my favorite in that team.

But, i think same thing that affected the mercurial Rabiu Ibrahim has affected him too. So much potential as a teenager but their game level refused to move up after being kick started.
In that 2014 that u made reference to I personally never saw Ramon as a player that could add value to that midfield.

People were saying he was the best natural midfielder Nigeria had then. A player that has never been capped? I kept asking the question "how can you be adjudged to be the best when u have not yet been tested"?

By and Large, I dnt agree it was an 'arrangement' as you put it. People who called for his inclusion had a genuine case as he was playing regular football for Almeria for a couple of months leading to that world cup.
I thought other-wise bc i dnt easily trust untested players.
That same forgiveness you are making reference to on 'arrangement problem' was at the fore front of the call for Ramon Azeez.

Like for today's game i would not start a player like Ebuehi.

Icon4s:


But i saw him on ur proposed starting line up.

Icon4s:


Senegal played one man down for a great part of the game and Wilson Oruma lost a penalty late into second half of extra time to have made it 2-2.

That was the game that sent Oliseh, Finidi, Babangida and some others parking from the national team.

Icon4s:


Hmmm.... with Etebo ruled out from starting this is our strongest 10 from that squad in camp.

I would line such a collection thus:

Balogun.. Troost. .Omeruo.. Echiejile

................Ndidi
....................... .Onazi

Musa......... Iwobi........ Simon

................Iheanacho

BascoVanVeli:

We are talking in the same vein if you are not having a good club form or a regular in your club how can an accurate assessment be made about your ability.

There are exceptions KC is in a world class team with World class strikers ahead of him. However, it is also a reflection of limited striking options for Nigeria that he is near first choice.

Rabui had incredible promise but has fallen so badly short of all expectations.

Omeruah our best defender arguably is not a top class defender indeed none of them are. They all are showing promise and potential. And they are going up against Mane and others.

Isaac Success is a waste man to me. Why is he in the premiership for Watford, arrangement but more financial money transferring.

Well if we get a draw we would have done exceptionally well. If we loose it is expected but let's not just get slaughtered.

It doesn't inspire confidence, Ndidi is too much of a. DM he is not an intelligent ball player like Mikel. They could get over run in midfield.

Sometimes you need a striker to hold it up for you when the going get tough and impose himself on the defence. That is not the KC game, we will definitely miss Mikel.

Balogun as wing back he is not technically proficient enough. Keita will have him for dinner I actually prefer Shehu in that position by a huge gap.

komekn:


The disparity between the league is not as large as was previously thought. The pay is also very high and transfer fees huge. Top notch striker in the championship can get to the £20 million level some midfielders are in excess of £15 million. Quite regularly players go from Championship to premiership and vice versa depending on favourable contract terms. Gayle Newcastle United and Richie left the premiership to play in the Championship by choice.

Icon4s:


Hahaha we are Nigeria!
No team in Africa can intimidate us.

The boys will shock u tonight.
