and the report stated Matic as their top target for the role
matic na old man now, that argument is dead already... Now we are comparing ndidi to his mates.. Fred, weigl, sms, can etc.. And why they are targets for top clubs nd not ndidi.... What aspects of their game is ndidi lacking cos obviously ndidi is the best tackler.... Me thinks this should be the direction of the discuss now

Yeah.... Right.... Truth. grin I think I will just stick to the true version of "Truth". You can keep yours aiit... Thank you. I dont do single stories view. Lol... Mehn... Lost count of the yawns even... This Euro players/clubs flavor tinted analysis is really so boring and downright ridiculous to the beautiful game's real neutral fans like me who have learnt to see things holistically and bravely concerning Nigerian players and their foreign counterparts all based in these foreingn counterparts' continent, "Europe" ... It's Boring shaa... So boring indeed... Wake me up when Mbappe scores a world class freekick against a top team like Nacho did aiit.... *yawns*

ndidi is not in a club that promotes that kind of play or he is not suited for that kind of play yet... Which is the prerequisite for dms in top clubs. .... Mek we nr de deceive ourselves.... We should be wishing the boy breaks d ceiling not telling him he is world class just because he tops tackling stats... That idrissa gueye has topped before.... Hmmm I weak for this one bros

A club and a Manager known for being negative will not produce a player that will fall under the radar of Manchester City. This is simple logic.

That is why I want a move by Ndidi because I believe he can do more in a more offensive side and manager. Thus, attracting the interest of more bigger clubs.

But what do you have to say about his play in the Belgian league ? lt's not like Ndidi tackles only, we focus on that because it's where he clearly stands out, and who says he can't bring out the other side of him in a club like Arsenal or Liverpool for instance?

Puel and Leicester City are known for negative football. It is illogical to expect a player from there to fall under Guardiola’s/City's radar.

world class players don't play in the Belgium league do they.... They develop from there.... He did very well in Belgium no doubt... In a club like arsenal or Liverpool who will he replace say hypothetically they buy of which presently they are not after him.... This ndidi started out as a defender for heavens sake.... We are expecting so much of him.. He is growing in leaps nd bounds... Let him stay in leicester... The food wey de cook never done.... When he ripe we go chop am.... Smiles

God bless you for your honesty... But you can try nd check their stats with opta or whoscored.com...then we talk OK... Seri was at one time a target for barca... This guy is an ivorian... Discussions where even held.... So what has Seri got.. That ndidi lacks.... Infact na me love ndidi pass for here cos I am bn objective.... Those calling him world class and finished article are just fan boys and girls that hype any high performing eagle player to high heavens.... After them go criticise oga komekn and English media and league..... When they are obnoxiously biased when it comes to the super eagles players

Can you wait till the end of the season? Transfer talk is just that.. Most of it is untrue..

I have read rumours of liverpool and just recently Barca interest in Ndidi. It does not mean, it is true.

That is precisely the problem. Using the lowest standard to brush Ndidi aside. Imagine the correlation between Onazi and Modric and Ndidi and Matic.
Tells you how he sees Ndidi. All the talk about Ndidi improving is a ruse. In their eyes Ndidi is not just good enough. Let him improve from here to Mars, they would never see him as being at the top. Shebi we talked about Ndidi's record stats. They say stats doesn't matter so much.
Forget all those yarns about improvement. Imagine Onazi and Modric? Chai
And it's annoying seriously.


sometimes you are in a situo that suppose to make you angry, but you just weak to respond anyway than just looking. That's how I feel on here when I read these sad statements just to ensure a point is proved to bring down our best. Especially when the said best is bossing the whites in the same League, under the same conditions and the same standards.

Abi na different league dem dey play?


Asamoah Goan was good before the World Cup and his teammates and country backed him up that the Portuguese team had to get clips on his weaknesses..... What are we saying here?




I love the counter-fact that this media ignoring our players is doing. The spotlight won't be on them and they won't be in team analysis until they shock the world. If they do bad... no p, but that's what I'm happy about.


I'm not blindly patriotic. That's why I don't do this always. But once I see value and trailblazers, I talk. I hope they see the same way soon.

Anyone who says Nacho has better technique and off the ball movement isn't "neutral" or "objective". So miss me with these yans. Wake me up when Nacho scores more than 6 goals in the ucl.
Wake me up when Nacho benches players like Draxler, Di Maria, Pastore, etc.
Wake me up when Nacho is the highest scoring teen in the ucl
Wake me up when Nacho makes the UCL team of the season.

Wow, So Moses was only rested last week against Crystal Palace for the Barca game? Hmm, it seems Conte rates him way higher than Zappacosta afterall.
He must now focus on making timely unpredictable crosses.

The best tacklers in Europe, Ndidi, Gueye and Casemiro.

Unless, that is not what is been said

Kante won the PFA award doing exactly what Ndidi is doing and racking up the tackling numbers. Surely Ndidi can be praised for doing the same. Not underrated and dismissed.

I am not underrating and dismissing him, I am only stating the fact.. Sadly players are judged on titles won with team... Nd kante won d epl... Ndidi has won nothing.... If you draw ndidi's career path the way leads only to the top.... But he has to work his socks off and improve other aspects of his game.... Tackling alone won't take him there...that is my submission..... I Pray he gets a good move to a title winning team... Not Liverpool.... Sef...

Ndidi is among the best DM in Europe at the moment. The primary responsibility of a DM is protecting the defence and breaking up play. Very few are as good as Ndidi at the moment. Fact.. The numbers do not lie.

A DM who fulfills that role is doing his job. The only thing left for Ndidi is to move to a bigger side

Again, don't think it's fair to compare Ndidi to guys like SMS and Tolisso. Both aren't really holding midfielders.

so what happened to idrissa gueye he once topped the tackling stats.... Ndidi will move to a bigger side..obviously... . Which do you have in mind... It is a matter of when not if.. So you think he is ready.... I think not... Not yet.... I Pray he dominates at the world cup though.... I think he can box the midfield against Argentina and Iceland but may be found wanting against Croatia.... Rakitic, modric and kovacic will run rings around him.... They must be studying him as we speak.... So he has to improve his game and surprise them.... That is my point bros
