So I hate Uzoho too? Lol.. I'm sorry to say this but I'm not easily impressionable.
The Messi free kick didn't require a miracle save since it was placed on the keepers safe spot not round the wall.

Giniko.

You said Nacho can not win ball in the air. At the end your opening whoscored to argue what you do not know. I clearly pointed a game I watched Nacho won the ball in the air.

As you can see, you are arguing what you do not watch. Just reading stats and claiming.


In more than 3yrs of football you can only recall one incident and you're running away singing praises that he is good with aerial balls.
What would I have used to buttress my point if not his actual aerial stats?
Maybe you I should have mentioned the countless number of times he lost aerial balls directed at him against South Africa and recently against Argentina.

That’s how many people still believed Mou killed Mikel’s game. Today Mikel is arguably a legend. Time will tell.

Dont you think Mikel would have done much more better than he did if he developed his game more than being Chelsea's water carrier?

Story. You were making it look like an impossibility. Now you want to cover up with more than one incident. The fact is that you did not have an idea. You were just looking at whoscored and claiming. You just exposed yourself.

So Balogun to move to a slow French league to be more slower right?

He is already developed, expecting that a move to the premier league would improve his pace is wishful thinking

He needs a league that is already suited to his capabilities (Monaco or Lyon would not be bad options)

Yes he was on fire towards the end of last season. It’s more reasonable to think he will continue from where he stopped. Put the WC disappointment behind you.


Oga, my comments are not about his world cup performance but his "footballing ability"

I have always felt that way about him, even when he was at Man City.

Pls tell me, which position does Nacho excel playing at?

Centre forward?

Support Striker?

Attacking Midfield?

Wing forward?

Which football attributes does he possess?

Dribbling?
Pace?
Close/good ball control?
Passing?
Aerial threat?
Positional play & good movement?
Hold up play ability?

Shot accuracy is too limited a skill set and won't keep him at the top league

I play the game, I coached the game and I watch the game.

I know a good player when I see one. Iheanacho is not a good player.

I foresee Iheanacho going the way of Freddy Adu, Dominic Adiyiah & co who fell from the heights of european football to obscurity.

Idowu can play at the left side of a 3-man CB. Too versatile to discard. Deji and Ikuowem can definely get a direct promotion to SE considering we don’t have much options at LB.However, they should still play a part in he Flying Eagles. Hence Duru, Deji and Ikuowem to compete at LB/LWB.




Has he played there before?

Even Messi have won aerial battles, his champions league final goal against Man utd came off a header having out jumped Vidic and Ferdinand, but I have never heard anyone mention aerial balls as Messi's strong point.
By the way, I will be pretty shocked if you actually watch more local and international football than I do.

tosin kehinde- salzburg, amiens, fenabahche,sk brann, anderlecht

troost ekong- lille

ahmed musa- wolves, brighton, galatasaray, olympic marseille

joel obi- sporting lisbon, crystal palace, celta vigo, benfica

sadiq umar- glasgow rangers

kelechi iheanacho- newcastle, westham

taiwo awoniyi- gent

simon moses- liverpool

isaac success- olympiacos

junior ajayi- sporting lisbon




Barcelona is also interested in Tosin Kehinde and Benfica is interested in J.OBI.

If I am to choose for them, this is my own choice.

Tosin Kehinde - Salzburg

Ahmed Musa - Olympic Marseille

Troost-Ekong - Lillle (no options)

Joel Obi - Benfica

Sadiq Umar - Rangers (no options)

Kelechi Iheanacho - West Ham

The rest no get options. They should go there.

Leicester have signed a highly rated attacking Player in James Maddison for £22m that could rise to £24m. The 21yrs old young Attacker banged 14 Goals, 8 Assists and also won 8 MoTM Accolades in the Championship last Season. He can play multiple Positions - good; on the Ball, taking set pieces, through passes, holding on to the Ball and so on.

What's gonna happen to our darling Iheanacho next Season?! Are we gonna be hoping the Coach is sacked and Pellegrini quits Westham and signs for Leicester or Iheanacho forces a loan Move to Westham to play under Pellegrini?!

We shouldn't forget Westham have quite Number of Strikers who are hustling for Game Times. Amongst are Chicharito and Carroll. Can he displace them in the pecking Order or perhaps walks straight to the first XI?!

Dudes ain't bringing Nacho Down, only damn worry about his Progress. Some of us are tired of fantasy cos its time to face the Reality.

Seriously, you have seen Kelechi out jump defenders and win headers?
Can you backup your opinion with stats and data?

That doesn't mean he can't jump. Defenders are usually on your back when there is an aerial ball but if we are talking about plain jumping ability the young man can jump.

They play in Spain's second division. I don't think he has ever played pro ball so that would not be the worst place to start.

He is 20 already. Amiens, Salzburg and Anderletch are best bets. At this age he should be playing first team football and those 3 offer him that in less competitive leagues than the EPL since his epl debut with ManU is a tall dream.

Downhill of a players career could sometimes be in favor of the player. Forlan flopping at Manchester United landed him at Villareal where he excelled. Thierry Henry flopping and dropping from a big Juventus landed him at Arsenal which was then a smaller club which led Henry to legendary status.

Remember Traore getting shipped out of Chelsea landed him at Ajax and then Lyon where he is doing fine.

So bad news in football sometimes is good news.

I said kelechi can't jump and you have not been able to prove otherwise, at least I have brought verifiable stats to back my claims. One header is not enough to say he's good with aerial balls.
It's like saying Messi has a strong right foot, because he scored Nigeria with his right foot.

To he honest, Gernot Rohr is kinda not a better Tactician than Samson Siasia. We are rating him higher because of his Skin Color - cos he has given his all at the Mundial.

Left for me he's a Goner already. But I hope he's retained cos he's building a good Project for the Future of our National Team(s).

He's helping us to fish out the hidden Talents across the World, especially the FB, coz it would be kind hard for the Indigenous Coaches to win them over!

However, if at all Rohr is gonna stay as the Super Eagle Coach, then I hope a tactical Magician is employed to support him instead of Salisu Yusuf.

What has Siasia done with the National team or any club side

We gave him the job and he goofed big time
