komekn: First of all ibrahimovic, Kane, balloteli are skillfully CF with awesome technique and who are very unpredictable, they are tall and physical but much more than target men so they don't belong in that list. You saying benteke, lukaku and drogba(target men) do not need a lot of support and can on their own dismantle any team is a big lie, everyone knows they mostly rely on a creative player to give them the assists. Then these guys are in epl a league where almost all the defenders are physical and rugged ready to match them physically in in all battles, when they get physically outmuscled they run out of ideas and are not just dynamic enough to make a difference.(the lukaku you put is a perfect example only 2 goals and some poor games against Chelsea why because the defenders are able to match him physically) but evertime Chelsea faces a striker like aguero, not one of the strongest he has always Been able to hurt Chelsea more. Then I didn't say target men lack creativity, vision, skill some do but you of all people should know they are more than just target men and can't be considered alone as "target men" |

Humility017: So one needs to walk in eggshells around here just because you don't want to be seen as pulling "other players down to elevate the status of others?" That's pathetic. All he did was state the obvious, how a kid who had just 45mins of action for his team be chosen ahead of someone who's a main man in his team in the MLS with about 46 career goals at the time still beats me. Or the other with 24goals plying his trade in Belgium. I have nothing against osimhen, he's at a good club, he should focus his strength on recuperating and hoping for an injury-free season. 3 Likes |

CHAN Eagles to kick-start Nigeria’s preparation for Cameroon showdown By Alex Monye | 30 June 2017 | 4:13 am Super Eagles Coach, Gernot Rohr will begin his preparation for Nigeria’s Russia 2018 World Cup qualifiers against Cameroon with home-based players, officials of the team have disclosed. Nigeria will meet Cameroun in the first game of the double-header in Uyo on August 28 and travel Yaoundé for the reverse tie three days later. Super Eagles’ Media Officer, Toyin Ibitoye, told The Guardian yesterday that Rohr would start preparations for the matches with the 44 players named last week by his assist, Salisu Yusuf for the African Nations Championship (CHAN), adding that it would also give the players the opportunity to stake claims for inclusion in the squad to tackle Cameroun. Ibitoye said the Eagles’ Manager, who is still meeting with players in Europe ahead of the World Cup qualifiers, will be on ground to supervise the CHAN players’ screening, adding that quality friendly games would be organized for the team before their foreign-based counterparts arrive for the last phase of preparation for the matches. “Rohr’s quest to ensure Nigeria beat Cameroon in the World Cup qualifiers has compelled him to pay close attention to the CHAN team. The CHAN team will serve as the platform to start assembling the best players that would battle Cameroun, which is the main priority of everybody involved with the Super Eagles,” he said. |

Icon4s: I didn't say I want Anichebe just that Komekn mentioned players like him. when you start playing long balls you don't attempt to head the ball on target, you just knock it down for your teammates or you flick it towards them and yes Ogu has strong aerial abilities so I believe he can dominate the air in the opponents half of the pitch. |

OFFICIAL - DONE DEAL Everton have signed Nigeria striker Henry Onyekuru from KAS Eupen for £7m and sent him on loan to Anderlecht. Onyekuru, 20, scored 22 goals for the Belgian top-flight club last season and has been linked with Arsenal, West Ham and clubs throughout Europe. He is viewed as a prospect for the future by manager Ronald Koeman and signs a five-year contract. Earlier on Friday, Barcelona took up clause to buy winger Gerard Deulofeu back from Everton for £10.6m. http://www.bbc.com/sport/football/40418808 |

the players you listed below are no doubt exceptional. reminds me of the great rashidi yekini. that said what some commentators might have been trying to express is the fact that most of these target men might struggle based on the formation some coaches might deploy. ibra as great as he is/was couldn't quite cut it at pep's barcelona team. same for benteke who could not cope with klopp's intense movement centric tactics at liverpool. with due respect to costa and lukaku top clubs haven't exactly been falling over themselves to sign them. the big point man in all fairness is my ideal kind of striker cos in tight games where tikitaka might be failing you the big striker could manufacture a miracle. the reason why i think people might not prefer the big striker option is that once service is cut of the guy might become a lame duck. talking specifically about the super eagles i also share the opinion that based on the players we have now and the best tactic that suits us (4-2-3-1) we need a point man who can bring other players into action. iheanacho yes for now is our most lethal finisher but i feel he will be at his most dangerous in the AM/SS role . so who will play the point man role for us? ighalo beside the fact that his goal scoring record of recent has been poor his hold up play is not there. osimhen has showed promise let's see how he does at the beginning of the bundesliga season. anichebe i like has good hold up play will be an asset to his fellow striker but i have questions about his fitness (injury problems), goal convertion rate and his movement let's be honest victor is not the quickest or sharpest. ideye i like he ticks all the boxes for me except the goal scoring aspect but he could be a vital tool in our tactical setup komekn: |

TheGoodJoe: What's so modern about his strategy? what is so strategic? Different doesn't mean new and or modern it's just a biased person based preference. I watched him humiliate Sakho and demote him to the U23's he was not allowed to even train with the first team. His preference Joel Matip. Once again you are elevating coach to being infallible small gods and having more appreciation of strategy than anybody else. Well Benteke was treated abysmally and sold to Crystal palace. Well he who laughs last laughs best. Liverpool played Crystal palace and we're flogged 2-1 and Benteke scored 2. Of course Klopp had to shut up his mouth and eat humble pie. Add to that that since Sakho went to Crystal palace they went on winning streak hardly losing any games. Sakho proving he is one of the best defenders in the EPL. |

komekn:I agree with this totally. Imagine a scenario where opposing teams play the same formation, let's say 4-3-3. Team A get walloped 3:0 in the game. One will have no option but to say the better players on the day won because they both were playing with the same strategy with difference in personnel. It is my humble opinion that coaches are generally overrated. Players are the major actors not the coaches. Guys like Mourinho and Guardiola have spent more than a billion dollars over the last 5 out together on player purchases which explains their success. |

Just read a report on whoscored that Guinean Intl, Nabil Keita could be moving to Liverpool for £70M. I'm gobsmacked to be honest. An African player being quoted for such silly money while the best of our overrated players struggle to attract suitors for +20M. If Guinea, a country of about 12 million people can quietly produce a player worth 70M, I hide my face in shame that our dear country cannot produce someone half that prize. Factor in, Aubameyang from Gabon could be moving from Dortmund for more than £70M, while Mo' Salah switched from Roma to Liverpool for 40M. I think we should be humble enough to admit that we don't have super star players in our team. The earlier we understand this,the better for everyone. 6 Likes |
