D only reason ndidi made such move was because he had no oppt of joining a big club since d MRI ruled him out for d u17.its only on dis thread we seem to paint every "perfect" as if we re no longer nija breeds, castigating our players going for money b4 career.

If we re also faced with d same opportunity, we would also go for money b4 career considering d country economy and also where we re coming from,we can't ignore dt reality

A read somewhere dt a certain olayinka left his club in belgium to a club Czech and we re saying its a bad move,who told u its a bad move,considering d money involve and also his REAL age? Coupled with our situation here in nigeria ,if I b d guy broda,and he refuses to move,na FAMILY MEETIN STRAIGHT

Even an Ndidi who is our hottest "thorough bred Nigeria player"(not half bristish,German/nija players o)those ones might not move,nidid will go to China if dey meet his buy out clause and he is given a juicy contract of €20M per year.he won't think twice b4 leaving,to hell with what sport pundit will write or say abt d move when thick money is involved.

Consider the bold for me it's a ground for potential talent in theory. However, in Nigeria because of our penchant for arrangements,favoritism nepotism and under table deals. We are not always sure.

We kill it at youth level and that's where it mostly ends.

Consider our class of 2009 and compare us the runners up to those teams that got to quarter finals. See thier player development.

Awoniyi is the same age bracket as Osimhen has gone far far ahead of him in every respect. The two can not compared. Awoniyi is moving up Osimhen us down and moving nowhere.

Awoniyi he has numerous clubs after him if not for work permit issues he will on loan in the championship.

Osimhen is still literally a youth player in lowly Bundesliga club. These matters must be seen in context. If for instance he was in Bayern and played 13 games in two seasons we could say progress although very slow.

But he is in a club with very limited competition yet he is doing Little or nothing.

Why was Awoniyi not invited to the SE there 100% more rational and justification. But he was not and Osimhen was. ❓ ❓? ❓

komekn:


Then what's his goal tally for such a RUTHLESSNESS how many goals did he score in the EPL and in La liga ❓ ❓

Too much talk no deh, Issa goal, how many

Icon4s:


That was because he was played wide.

Success is a natural CF.

I believe he would have flourished more if groomed as a CF. That boy had this killer instinct.

I say it again that if Isaac Success had fluorished to his potential someone like Ighalo would not have have been our top 9.

That is also the point being driven by TheGoodJoe.

edi287:

Might be more disciplined but Iwobi is more talented and has done more in my book.
I think people are starting to underrate Iwobi now. Of course he hasn't helped himself but that doesn't negate his ability.

tbaba1234:


He might be a good player but the price tag is too much.

Kog45:
I'm not disputing his talent but better for him to go on loan than wasting away in very average team like Wolfsburg.

My point is why on trial to secure a loan move to Belgium league,not really good for his stocks.

TheGoodJoe:

In the current state of football, hard work and discipline edges talent. Richarlison is a monster on the pitch when it comes to hard work. So I doubt we can use Iwobi's balling talent to put him ahead of Richarlison.

TheGoodJoe:

Going on loan seems an easy way out. I say he slugs it out with Richarlison. Success should train to work harder and run faster on the pitch than Richarlison. If he achieves such work rate, I sort Marco Silva will pass on him. The most important thing is the work to get himself at an optimum level.

TheGoodJoe:


If Success scores 20 goals in the Championship, it is not convincing enough to believe he can compete with Richarlison. Richarlison is the problem. He is a machine.

I say Success toughen up, work on his speed, change his diet, develop insane discipline and give Richarlison a run for his money. Marco Silva will give Success his chance if he shows improvement in training.

It is a tough call but it will get the best from Success.

You want to create a set of parameters to measure a player individually, that's BIAS.

Your injury record and recovery is part of your assessment. If you are injured for a whole season that works very negatively against you. You could be termed injury prone. Injury is part of football unfortunately.

You are so hell bent on justifying the unjustifiable. Victor was not injured for the whole season. Just the beginning and but was still not considered good enough. From December 2016 he was considered injury free, so effectively he was available for the larger part of the season. But only played 2 games of not more than 30 minutes for the 2016/17 season.

So in your quest to misrepresent you state the the bold he was injured all season. Do you agree that is totally UNTRUE.

My position on your comparison of 29 year old players I have made intrinsically clear. So you are being untruthful and misrepresenting me.

If you are 21 not playing in the first team you should be on loan. However, if you are not you growing dust and irrelevant. Essentially you are in regression. So because other boys have decided to fail in thier clubs, in the name of waiting for thier chance, until they rot, then he Victor should do the same. That's very bad advice. I'm sorry bro. .


Do you not find it ludicrous that the NFF then invited a youth player to the SE over and above far more deserving players. ❓ ❓ ❓

I no talk again, I leave you to your opinion anchored on favoritism, bias, double standard and sentiment.

TheGoodJoe:


If Kyle Walker and Stones could go for about £50m each, I doubt that is a big tag for a player like Richarlison.

Let them discuss from now till ages.
U don't win laurels with averages and mediocres..

Let's admit it when it Comes to football, Africa is last on the food chain

gamaliel9:
The Isaac Success i saw yesterday against Dusseldorf was different from the one that played in Malaga. He looked fitter,faster and hungrier...but there is room fore more..His running off the ball was good..let the season begin ..lets see

gamaliel9:
This is the first time CAF, football associations,coaches and related bodies are coming together for a debrief after a world cup. Commendable...all it takes to win the world cup is proper youth development,good organisation,playing discipline,luck and referee reading the VAR in your favour...you are ready to go.. NO AMOUNT OF PRAYER CAN GIVE YOU THE COUPE MONDIALE[WORLD CUP]

ChrisKels:


Oh u saw the match? Please was maduka okoye featured abi he was on the bench?

goldfish80:

This is a great stat. He defends from the front, that's why he worth every penny. Jordan Ayew should be worth £80 at least.

tbaba1234:
Dalung, Giwa and Pinnick should resolve their problems and save us from a FIFA ban.

Kog45:
Sir everything centred around 'IF" and your first post did not said "IF" cos i would have replied you in affirmative defense.

Since he did not flourished to his potential then no need to say he was our missing link at WC.

Hope to see better Isaac Success in the coming season.

edi287:

Useless agent. Very bad move from Olayinka.
More excuse for Rohr not to look at him

BascoVanVeli:


His season was blighted by injury and off field controversy. By the time he got to Malaga it was too late. He returned a better man and is willing to put in the work that his talent deserves, even getting a personal trainer for the offseason. I expect a monster season from Isaac nothing less because he has all the needed tools.

goldfish80:


These so called academies are glorified human trafficking rings. They take undocumented players to Norway, Belgium, Portugal and some of these Baltic countries for "hustling".
It is really sad their activities are not regulated. Some of them don't even have address. They train at community primary schools and other government facilities.
I met 3 Nigerian guys who were supposed to sign for Benfica but looking at them, you can tell they were working on construction sites in Portugal.
Somethings are better left unsaid.

Humility017:

don't mind the vulture agent.... a player with so much assists last season...France won't have been a bad move for him.... at least some decent French clubs like nice and co could have opt for him still...
