Mickael2:



depends on what you mean by 'fast'. If you mean straight line pace then YES he is, but if you mean rushing at players, marking aggressively with pace then NO

TheGoodJoe:


Iheanacho passed the MRI scan test. Whether you want to believe it or not, it makes no difference from scientific facts.

Mickael2:



if Matuidi is your own definition of a pacy player then YES Azeez is pacy

TheGoodJoe:


So, you can see you are just arguing against a simple fact.

Mickael2:



I never doubted it, however a 13year old MALE sprouting a beard is ridiculous, I mean if females could grow beards and you told me a female has started growing beards at 13 I may believe that

TheGoodJoe:


I know we all want to believe Iheanacho's age and I do

This statement you made contradicts your above comment.

Mickael2:



because he is less pacy by Onazi in that regards does not mean he isn't pacy. One question, have you watched any of his games recently or you are talking about his U17 years?

Mickael2:



maybe you have not been following the argument. I have said it time and again that he isn't up to that 23 as a matter of fact or just there

TheGoodJoe:


Are you sure you have watched Matuidi at all? Do you see the distance he covers in a short time. Tracking pacy wingers and full backs despite playing the midfield role.

Joebie:
Salute oh!
All those players, where their children?

TheGoodJoe:


Azeez was not the kind of player to go against Matuidi in the World Cup. What does recently have to do with talking about why Azeez was a wrong option against France in 2014?

Talking like if Azeez has not played for Nigeria in the Super Eagles.

Mickael2:


there was this guy that played for Almeria then from Congo, Bifuna or something like that, is Matuidi faster than that guy?

TheGoodJoe:


What dafuq?

The statement you made talking of me saying Azeez is not fast has to do with the context of the France Game. What does Almeria has to do with it? Please, Azeez is not fast as the pacy midfielders. Finito.

Mickael2:



he was in Almeria, and he hasn't changed much from then. There were some times he would show a sudden burst of pace and I would be left wondering if it was Bifuma and then I would quickly realise it's Azeez because he doesn't carry a Mohawk. He is fast that is not even arguable

Super Eagles players to share from FIFA's N4.5b bonus -
Uche Duru | 19/10/2017


All the Super Eagles players who featured in Nigeria's qualification journey to the 2018 World Cup are set to share from the N4.5 billion FIFA bonus due Nigeria for being among the 32 teams to vie for honours in Russia.

FIFA will pay the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) $12.5 million (about N4.5 billion), which is $10 million (N3.6 billion) for qualifying for the 2018 World Cup tournament and $2.5 million to prepare for the competition in Russia.

According to reports, 37 players participated in Nigeria’s march to the 2018 World Cup and each of these players will receive a share of the qualification bonus.

Meanwhile, there will be more money for the Super Eagles from FIFA if the team happens to make it to the knock out stages of the tournament.

I think the problem we have and it will take us years and years for it to go away is that we don't have computerized way of keeping records.
In fact almost all health institutions in NIGERIA have refused to embrace the technology of keeping records. I remember going to a National hospital in Abuja the other day, and a patient will have to move from one office to another within the hospital before you finally get to the queue to be seen by a doctor. In this age? it's crazy. Forge affidavit of age declaration is so common. I wonder why everybody seem to have lost their original birth certificates. I still have mine till this day. Corruption is now our culture.. Although I believe some Nigerians are not corrupt, but even the masses partake in corruption like it is the only way to get by. The situation is just pathetic.

TheGoodJoe:


Stop going in circles. If you want to Azeez right choice, it is different. The point you mentioned me was fast. Azeez is not fast in respect to the likes of Onazi and Matuidi. Finito.

Gerrit?

My first time of watching onyekuru play from starting to end

What I noticed
The guy is fast could have scored earlier in the game but his header was saved by the PSG keeper the way he sneaked into the defence to take the header very fast


No 2 he should keep a calm head I noticed after he teases dani alves with a brilliant skill alves was looking to provoke him and he succeeded when he pushed onyekuru and onyekuru pushed him back in the process getting a yellow card

3rdly the guy knows how to calm the game down and play connecting passes something the while team lacked as they where always in a hurry and where easily dispossessed


And lastly he is not going to develope by staying in Anderlecht he should return to Everton his team mates are shiiiiii. The only players who knew what they where doing where the Ghanaian guy mensah ,onyekuru and one Bruno who is on loan from Leipzig only den for me

komekn:


Arjen Robben, Danny Alves, Christiano Ronaldo, Jermain Defoe, Zlatan Ibrahimovic, Van Perspective, etc, etc these are some of the best players in the world. Would you now call them Veterans, Danny Alves is considered the best RB in the World. According to you he should be on the dust heap as a veteran.

Most of the players mentioned above are either Older than Obagoal a goal or in his age range.

So what's your point.

DrKlever:
Bro my nephew is 13. dude took wassce this year. and he is about 6ft tall with beards. so i don't even know what. you guys are arguing about. someone says he is 20, accept it unless you have a proof to discredit their claim... If you see me presently you might think I'm probably 20 cause of my young look and scanty beards. I don't understand why Nigerians derive joy in ridiculing our own and when foreigners starts calling us name, we join force to fight then yet we gave them what they use against us... please stop making Nigeria and Nigerians look bad, even if we cheat, we ain't alone in it. south americans etc cheat... Look closely at coasta and tell me he looks his age. how many times have you seen Spaniards call him out for age cheating This nonsense must stop. some fools even fake stories claiming they attended same schools with the player just to ridicule them. it might sound funny to you but it's foolishness. No be una born them!

forgiveness:


In regards to Obagoal, Ike Uche and Odenwinge, I think they are very good and you are sure to get a goal with these guys.

Unfortunately, when these players were banging in goals left right center in Europe our bad belle coaches decided to drop them for lesser strikers.

However, if these three players are still banging in goals left right and center, I don't mind they are invited to the National team because we don't have any inform young striker in the best leagues in Europe and in the National team that can lace their shoes.

As it being that Kelechi and Kayode (because they are the only two consistent prolific strikers playing at the highest level) are banging in goals left right and center, I don't need to even think about these men but because as sand sand don pass garri, I will prefer Martins and ike Uche if they continue to score goals for their clubs. I don't know about Odenwinge.


However, I think we can split the three slots for the striker to three categories.

I. For informed experienced striker
II. For a mixed of both informed young and experienced striker
II. For very young informed striker


Based on these categories,

Category 1

Odion Ighalo - 14 goals and 3 assists (25 games in CSL)

Obafemi Martins - 7 goals and 3 assists (12 games in CSL)

Osaze Odenwinge 13 goals and 5 assists out of 18 games in Indonesia)

Ikechuckwu Uche 5 goals and 0 assist out of 8 games in the la Liga 2

Brown Ideye clubless

Anthony Nwakaeme 0 goals and 1 assist out of 5 games in Israel


Category 2

Ahmed Musa - EPL
Kayode Olanrewaju - LA Liga
Aaron Samuel - Russia
Ebere Paul Onuachu - Denmark
Simeon Nwankwo - Seria A

Category 3

Kelechi Iheanacho
Tammy Abraham
Cyriel Dessers
Dominic Solanke
Dennis Bonaventure
Peter Olayinka
Taiwo Awoniyi
Osimhen
Sadiq Umar



Based on current form and pedigree of leagues, please choose one from each categories, we are good to go.

Please, no sentiments and give reasons.

kellycute:
It is very obvious you didn't watch that match. Onyekuru almost scored with an header. Go check it out.

It's not foolishness but the reality.

We do not have automatic data capture at birth in Nigeria, when some countries have pre-birth data in addition.

That means you have to rely on the integrity of the individual and collective society as a whole. I know that it's near established practice in the public sector to declares official age. This practice is not exclusive to public sector but it is in every facet of life in Nigeria. So let's not pretend, I personally know a large number if ex international players who shaved of between 5- 12 years off thier age. It worked for them it worked for the club everybody made money so everyone is happy, no problem. So you will never see me expose anybody.

Unfortunately in football and in Europe irrational value is placed on youth that if you are older by a few years you can be cut out as being not good enough and or being too old.

The fault lies with the obsessive quest for Youth in the football by industry particularly in Europe.

I have met people in Nigeria, who got married to ladies that were older than them unknowingly. And when they found out it was too late pikin don enter. They just found a way to make it work.

DrKlever:
I will choose Ighalo from cat 1, then Iheanacho and Tammy Abraham from cat 3. i don't fancy any player in category 2

Mickael2:



Are you sure we watched the same Anderletch team?! Their midfield totally bossed the game, PSG had to depend on counterattacks. The Appiah guy who you said knew what he was doing was just hoofing aimless crosses into the box for 90minutes and his covering was very very suspect.

Onyekuru did not have a single header in that game, maybe you made a mistake there. His teammates were actually very good except for that Appiah guy and the problem they had was that they were using Appiah as their main attacking outlet and his crosses were just dumb all game long, if they switched their tactics to attack through Onyekuru's wing then they would have scored a few goals, they made PSG look ordinary.


That said Onyekuru needs to work on the defensive side of his game and his clinicality

;Di know what u want to do u want u want us to be like owngoal Nigeria and the order ans

I watched the game live in the first ten minutes onyekuru nodded a mensah crossing and could have scored if he had gone for placement instead of power

Their midfield didn't boss anything the only looked threatening in the first half because of the were constantly using the wing the Ghanian boy played mensah his crosses weren't good enough but at least he kept the PSG defence working in the second half PSG could have scored seven in fact they had two goals cancelled

Even the failed attempt at back pass which mbape failed to score


The team is no good

justvictor57:
Onyekuru doesn't wanna know if you're a big player or not. If he has made up his mind to dribble you, he will surely get past you. Thats the confidence in him.
