Humility017:

there is nothing to compare between Ighalo and kanu...
kanu was a player who always come alive when it matter most....
I still remember his assist to utaka during the afcon 2004...Match wit Cameroon...
also him coming to get us two goals...against Gabon in worldcup/afcon qualifying match in river state....that match was heading to a draw....this and many more we see kanu rescue this super eagles in dangerous times...

he was a player whose passes the team always count on when it matters most...

can Ighalo do same?
that's the question you and sir kog4 should answer....it's not about records of goals scored compared to kanu....... even in the goals ratio Ighalo is not even faring better...I doubt kanu was ever played as a top 9

Coach Who Discovered Shehu Abdullahi Tells Rohr – He Is Better As A Holding Midfielder Than Right Back
April 2, 201806

Coach John Obuh who gave Bursaspor of Turkey and Super Eagles ace Shehu Abdullahi his breakthrough at national level says the 24 year old is better as a defensive midfielder than at right back.

Abdullahi has played most of his senior international career at right back for Nigeria, but at club level he has turned out as a defensive midfielder, and that is the role he is currently playing at his Turkish team.

Obuh who was the first to play the former Kano Pillars teen prospect at right back during his time with the Nigeria U-20 says Abdullahi can do more for Nigeria if ‎played from his original role as a defensive midfielder.

” He came to me as a holding midfielder and was very good in controlling the ball under pressure but he was very fragile and slow in recovery, but very good in passes and long kicks. So I needed such at the right back, hence I converted him”, Obuh told Owngoalnigeria.com in an exclusive chat.

” I think he can do better in the holding midfield as it is today”, the coach who recently resigned from his role as coach of Kwara United concluded

Shehu will make the 23 man squad barring injuries he is a very important player and would play him as a DMF

Tosin Kehinde (19) on choosing to play for Nigeria:

"Nigeria has always been a part of me. I was born there. My whole family are Nigerian. I come from a very strong Nigerian background so the influence has always been around me. When you are growing up, when you see players like Jay Jay Okocha, how good he was and the current crop of players such as Alex Iwobi and Super Eagles captain, Mikel Obi, the desire to get the opportunity to play for Nigeria has always been there really."

Somewhere in the news, Arsenal has made a €30m offer for Ndaidai, but Leicester no gree.

Humility017:

the problem I have with you guys clamouring for martins is that you guys seems not to know...that your world best central forward...had passed his prime...

not same way he was when at inter Milan...
the earlier you guys wake up to reality the better it will be...

'
presently...I will rate kayode, nancho, ahead of him...if i am opportuned...I will even play young dessers and sadiq ahead of him....

Joebie:
u people want Okocha to call of his retirement eh.. I was watching that Yobo exhibition match yesterday..

Modified
Let me add that Ighalo should get at least 50% credit for converting.. it was still a half chance.. but great pass from Mikel

tbaba1234:
We should not lose Ebere Eze.. That Mbaise boy is a real talent...

BascoVanVeli:


That goal showed exactly what Ighalo has to offer, positional sense, strength, skill and finishing.

Joebie:
based on their last utterances, Uduokhai seems the surest bet. However it's still dicey

andrew444:


How many minute has nacho played? And tell me your lethal striker ? Mr nacho hater

Icon4s:


Good prospect post-2018 WC and 2020 Olympics.

komekn:


I have asked this question before , never got an answer beyond the usual emotive ramblings birthed from negative dislike.

Is Uduokhai better than Dominic Iorfa and how objectively.

Dominic is a CB and a RB but with a preference for the CB position has won in the past best young player and MOTm when he was at Wolves and played over a 110 games in the Championship. He is still signed to Premiership bound Wolves he is on loan at Ipswich.

Second Question, we seem to be creating a different set of rules for German Nigerian origin players recruitment into the SE particularly considering they have made public statements that they are more interested in waiting for Germany.7

FOOTBALL LEGEND KANU TO RUN FOR PRESIDENT OF NIGERIA IN 2019

Football legend Kanu to run for president of Nigeria in 2019
Nkwankwo Kanu
by Austin Ditlhobolo

Monday Apr 02, 2018. 16:00

Nigerian football legend Nwankwo Kanu has been inspired by Liberian icon George Weah’s feat.

The former Arsenal FC and Inter Milan forward has announced he will run for President of Nigeria in 2019.

Weah, who had a very successful football career in Europe, was elected President of Liberia in the 2017 election, defeating the incumbent Vice President Joseph Boakai, and sworn in on 22 January 2018.

“My presence here today is about the future of our country and the happiness of our people,” Kanu said on Goal.

“The last 18 years of leadership has witnessed a decline in all critical sectors of life in Nigeria, plus general insecurity in the land.

“Also, I’ll do all it takes to wrestle corruption which has become blatant and widespread. The rest of the world looks at Nigeria as the home of corruption," Kanu, who also had a successful career in Europe, added.

“If I get your mandate, I promise to do things differently and restore honour and integrity to public service by keeping the best and attracting the best.

"George Weah's victory in Liberia is a pointer that this dream is very realistic with you all on my side."

Kanu, 41, will be hoping to unseat incumbent president Muhammadu Buhari during the Nigerian general elections which will be held in Nigeria on 16 February 2019.

Kanu should save his money..

komekn:


Prospect possibly its all speculation, let him make the first team first or go on loan and prove his quality , youth football is a not a great indicator of progressive quality.

I know hundreds of boys who got to the peak of youth football at top clubs but a few years later are playing non league football.
