gamaliel9: How old is Ribery, Robben Arjen at Bayern closer to 35 let's look at Manchester City Fernandinho and Silva all over 32 very crucial players, you could add Kompany and Yaya Toure all well over 30. Defoe may still make the world cup for England at 35 consider also Vardy is 31. Ronaldo C. best player in the world is over 32 so he is over the hill and too old according to some contributors. Let's not forget Messi is also over 30. Quality is not the preserve of the young alone. Indeed experience shows enduring quality. There is a complete lack of appreciation of what it takes a player to put in consistent top class performances for a decade. Brazil will take to the world cup possibly 10 players above 30 that will include. Tiago Silva, Danny Alves, D.Luiz, Fernandinho, Tardelli, Paulinho, etc. This is a team that will be among the favourites to win. Bearing these observations in mind, will the use of the word crass ignorance and ineptitude for a person to dismiss a player because he is over 30 be rightly justified ![]() ![]() ![]() |

Certitude:OK getting your point but how many calls did he get post 2010. I remember he got one during Kesh' s erai and was not convincing enough and Oliseh as a manager. But i think Martins and Yakubu did fairly enough in their eagles career. 1 Like |

Uduokhai: “I have not been to Nigeria often yet, but I talk a lot about it with my dad, and have family there. That’s where my roots lie, it’s important to me to stay neutral. “Of course, the German national team is the top in world football, but also Nigeria is well staffed. Currently, I’m really open to both sides.” It's looking like he is in the bag to me, and he is arguably the best among the German-Nigerian defenders we've been courting 1 Like |

After looking at Ibe's stats this season, he could be a good addition but... BOURNE IDENTITY Bournemouth star Jordon Ibe set to snub Nigeria to try and earn England World Cup place The winger’s form has reignited interest for him to switch countries from the Three Lions By Mike McGrath 15th January 2018, 7:55 amUpdated: 15th January 2018, 8:11 am JORDON IBE will snub Nigeria to keep himself in the frame for England. The Bournemouth winger’s form has reignited interest for him to switch countries from the Three Lions. Jordan Ibe will snub Nigeria to try and play international football with England Ibe qualifies for Nigeria through his father and they are willing to offer the chance to fight for a World Cup place at Russia next year. But the 22-year-old is refusing to give up on forcing his way into the reckoning for England under Gareth Southgate. Ibe was tipped for an England call-up 18 months ago when he broke into the Liverpool first team as successor to Raheem Sterling, with Roy Hodgson admitting he liked him. The ex-Wycombe youth player struggled settle when he moved to Bournemouth but has now started to live up to his £15million price tag. Jordan Ibe far right) still has ambitions to represent England He has six assists this season in all competitions and netted the winner in the 2-1 win against Arsenal at Dean Court at the weekend. And he wants to make sure he is available for Southgate if the England boss is looking at his options for next summer’s tournament. Southgate picked him for the Under-21s in 2015, with Kop youngster Joe Gomez also called up at the time and on a path to the seniors. Ibe has played for England’s youth teams and would prefer to stick with the Three Lions despite Nigeria wanting him. |

tbaba1234: Let me help you since you don't know. Kayode didn't play as a striker in most of the games he played for. So, please, don't pass wrong information that he was given a lot of opportunities. Besides, he was not benched because he didn't perform or scored goals but it was because the main striker was scoring goals. Even though Kayode got two assists and MOTM in a match he was benched in the next match. Can you explain the reason for that? Umar and Dessers will not even smell bench, then how can dey score goals? How can dey win MOTM? How many goals did Umar score in a Sergio_A which is lesser than la Liga with all the chances he had? Dessers is struggling to start in Eredivise, na la Liga em go come start? This is subjective analysis I am seeing here. 4 Likes 1 Share |

Sometimes I wonder what's the real underlying issue behind the player comparisons. A player has been ruled out for 6 months or so, and the argument is still on about him. |

Joebie: It is either you play in a top league or with a top club. Kayode is playing with a top club better than all the clubs in Eredivise based on current form. Is it true? As lowly as Ukrainian league maybe to you, it's better than Eredivise. Where is Eredivise and the best club in Eredivise on the list of best clubs and best leagues in the world. Remove hatred and sentiment for your head and be objective for once. Thanks 4 Likes 1 Share
