I never said kalu will get into Everton first team

If you watch my quote yesterday,I told that guy that kalu is not even better than yannick bolaise who was sent on loan from Everton

I am just trying to tell you how football works,Everton have better players than Bordeaux No doubt about that,but that doesn't mean Everton will automatically beat them ,apart from those Chelsea Liverpool Arsenal Tottenham and mancity ,Epl teams have always been disgraced in the Europa league ,west ham that even have better players could not make it to the Europa league group stage in 2 attempts against a backwater league team

Burnley could not even beat pass olympiakos to get to the group stage .

Yes no player in Bordeaux will bench Bernard

But if you think Bernard is world class then you don't know what you are saying,even a Malcom who just left Bordeaux for Barca is better than Bernard.

Brazil coach will rather call players from Brazil then to call Bernard

Remind me, when did Manchester united win Europa? And when did Liverpool reached the final of Europa? grin

Eze is eligible bkus he only repped England in a friendly match(U21) just like Luke Amos. Also Maja is eligible as he hasn't repped England at any level, not even in a friendly match.

That was not a friendly. It was a tournament. I checked and I was heartbroken hence my potting to politics section.

And who won Liverpool in the final of the Europa league ? A team from Spain

And who won Liverpool in the final of the champions league also ? A team from Spain

And which team has been wining the champions league for the past 4 years ? Spanish teams also

Who wan the Europa league 3 times in a row ,a team from Spain,I guess the English team didn't perform in those competition .

The English are just boastful.... just as Sam allardyce is saying Eric dier is better than Sergio busquets.... says by a coach who has been battling relegation for almost all the days of his coaching career .

Bakayoko's career has gone down that's probably why he wanna switch to ivory coast before its too late . With all the hype that followed him at Monaco eh,one would think he was the new Xavi...

Onyekuru doesn't get the nod ahead of Kalu in maturity.


Onyekuru that has more career goals than Kalu??
Onyekuru scored over 15 goals in his first season in the Belgian league... how many did Kalu score?
Kalu might be better than Onyekuru when it comes to dribbling but Onyekuru always cap his performance with goals and assists that's a sign of football maturity... Kalu needs to work on his final ball product...

Just checked and the entire Comoros squad bar one player is French born. More than 60% of the team were actually born in Marseilles and a few had been capped by France in the junior teams.

Una no go kee me for this forum. Comparing Walcott to a Moses that was jumping from one club to another on loan before settling for a defensive wingback role?

And who be the "young and exciting" wingers sef?

Is it Musa who was relegated to Leicester youth team before following money to Saudi? Or is it Simon that can't get a starting shirt in Levante? Or Kalu that doesn't know whether to pass or shoot? Or Onyekuru who is getting benched in Turkey?

Who be the person?

obviously you dont know our wingers, No be Iwobi pursue walcot commot for arsenal?, Onyekuru is a confirm starter for club check his last two matches in turkey and champions league, kalu is another dynamite of a player, abeg aging walcot don outlive em usefulness, any of this winger can easily walk into everton starting lineup.

Knowing how conservative Rohr is,I was expecting him to use the same lineup.. But I hope he will be a bit smart enough to approach the game with caution.

The Libyans are more desperate for a win than we are... that will b a huge advantage for us if we can play defensive and attack them on the counter.. I trust our counter attack .

We just gotta avoid giving out fouls in dangerous position so what happened against Cameroon in Yaoundé and Algeria in Constainte doesn't repeat itself...

Arsenal fan spotted.

Moses simon just join levante and recovering from injury so give him some time okay,already has 1 goal to his name

You must be blind and dont know anything,You call onyekuru a bench warmer? Someone has started 6 turkish league games and subbed in twice which make it 8 games and got 2 goals and you open your BIG MOUTH to call that player a bench warmer are you kidding me? Dem suppose flog you KOBOKO

He has also played twice in the champions league,he started one and came in from the bench in the second one,so this is how you judge your own bench warmer?

Example of bench warmers....... Victor moses..... Leon Balogun

If there's any Nigerian player that deserves to be hyped and celebrated at the moment,it's Henry Onyekuru not Samuel Kalu.. Maybe it's because Kalu is a starter ahead of Onyekuru in the GWG that people are hyping him like this... Onyekuru at 21 already has 40 career goals in less than 90 appearance. Kalu hasn't reached 20..They are of the same age and play the same position. Onyekuru has been consistent at every club he's played for and if not for injury,he might have made our world cup squad...

I'm not saying Kalu isn't good oo.. in fact,both.of them are the future of the super eagles.. but Kalu needs to work on his weak area which is his final ball cus right now he is just a younger version of Ahmed Musa....

Football is full of surprises...this same team went to South Africa who beat us 2-0 here to draw 2-2.the same team team came here,and we pumelled them 4-0...anything can happen. But from a reprot i saw...we will be defending deep and counter-attacking which Iwobi is going to spearhead because of his passing accuracy

Be sure that if we do five counter-attacks...two will hit target....is a goal!!!!
