Tomorrow no come dey deny say you ever compared Chukwueze with Rooney o.

I don bookmark this post

I am not comparing their careers. I am comparing the start of their careers.

BascoVanVeli:

For better or worse we are not England. Messi played this same tournament so no human under the age of 20 can ever be too big for it

If there was no AFCON, i would agree.

But if i am to choose one tournament for him to play, It will be AFCON.

Icon4s:


Look up you go see one of them

Dem say Rooney "Exploded"
Me ask them say when will Chukwueze explode him own na? Them say na this AFCON o.

U said it urself, Dat Rooney xploded at the Euros, den we asked u how he made it to the Euros at such a young age, buh u dodged the question

Nobody ever said Chuks's explosion rests on the Afcon as Rooney's did on the Euros. Abi u get something to back it up?

By the balls, we hold u today

Abeg who fes bring Rooney matter into this discussion?

Abeg go check who fes start that "exploded" talk and who say Samu go "explode" for AFCON.

Abeg make una leave here before Dem think say I don run mad as una wan kee me with laugh

elyte89:



Who dey compare chukwueze with Rooney again ,make dem stop am abeg

Nobody did, we only compared their first seasons as professionals, before the Euro and now this forthcoming Afcon, respectively. There is nothing unhealthy about this bkus na talk, dey bring talk

I am sure u know stats don't tell all the story. Chukwueze's starting stats may even have been better than those of Aguero, Hazard, Sallah or Mane.

Even at that u cannot compare the way Rooney started his career to that of Chukwueze.

I guess na tbaba1234 bring Rooney come to buttress a point that at a young age one can still shun youth tourneys for the major ones. But that "xplosion" na u bring am come when u said Rooney xploded at the Euros and not Everton.

Please stop the dribbles, answer this simple question; On what basis did Rooney make the Euros at such a young age? U know he had to stand on something to make the Euros that birthed his supposed xplosion

Icon4s:


The Iheanacho that had the lowest minutes per goal for players with 10 games and above where his position for minute per goal dey now?

U now hitting below the belt bkus u beleaguered. What has Iheanacho got to do with this? Abi Iheanacho's career is gonna define Chukwueze's? Stat wise, does Chukwueze, just like Rooney deserve a place in the Afcon? Yes or no?

Icon4s:


Bros this is a very simple thing to figure out.

But if you are hoping that Chukwueze will play both the U20 WC and AFCON good luck to your wishes.

The problem is that there are precedents to back what i am saying. Players have always been allowed to join these tournaments after they start. This was the same attitude u had towards me saying that Nigeria should use 3 at the back but las las we know what happened.

tbaba1234:


If there was no AFCON, i would agree.

But if i am to choose one tournament for him to play, It will be AFCON.

But during the summer u said he should play U20.

I can bet you didn't watch Rooney play that season.Or probably u have forgotten. If you did you or u remember well u won't be making this type of comparison.

Besides, why dwelling only on Rooney? What of Owen?

That aside also, why did Argentina allow Messi and Aguero play the U20? They could have said "they are above the U20".

The bottom line is that U20 team needs a player like Chukwueze and Chukwueze is not above playing for U20 please.

In my own opinion i think chukweiser should go to AFCON coz he'll be great addition as we know that kalu has sealed the position he can come on at the second half to make impact I've never seen chukweiser as a winger but a supporting striker we can play a 4 3 3 formation in the first half but second half they can switch to 4 4 2 bringing ighalo out onyekuru and chukweiser for iwobi(cox he'd have been tired )it'll be like


musa. chukweiser

onyekuru mikel. ndidi. kalu


so without an iota of biasness and prejudices chukweiser should go to AFCON
#chukweiser TO AFCON

We have only one unruly fellow here and u sound exactly like him yet u claim u aint same person?

In here, u sure know who u would expect such an uncouth outburst from. We all know one uncultured fellow in here and just as predicted, he's put on his other cloth to do his usual childish attacks in disguise

That was before his performance this season.

Why not? He is playing at a similar level.

Infact Rooney was younger so there was more of an argument to play him in the youth teams first.

In England, once they start producing in the premier league, they fast-track you to the senior team. Rashford, Owen, Rooney etc..

Samuel is producing in La liga.

TBH,No sane person would say chuks should go for Afcon.

Please U20 is much better

This argument is uncalled for, maybe barbaric

Give your own reasons na

tbaba1234:


Rooney got his call-up for England after his performances for Everton in the 2002/2003 season. He never played for any youth team after that.

In that season, he scored 6 goals in 33 appearances

Chukwueze already has 7 goals and 3 assists in 26 games.

Let him play the AFCON first, then we can talk about tournaments.

26 games in La Liga ❓ You are being confusing, Villareal have only played 19 games this season. And we know Chukwueze did not play in all of them.

So where are you getting 26 games from. ❓

andrew444:


Typical Nigerian thinking bro

Now tell me how is he above u20 tournament ?

When a far more talented fabregas was playing 2 world youth championship after already breaking into Arsenal first team in the second one which is the World youth championship 2005

Should I also tell you that talented Sergio aguero played 2 world youth championship and already banging goals for ATM first team ?

Naija I hail the way una sabi overhype player pass him age

Fab played only one and not two

komekn:

5 goals and 2 assists in 17 senior games. .. even better.

Chukwueze himself has played 26 games.

jihday:

Yes 17 senior games and 9 laliga appearance

Making his stats even more impressive

It is quite surprising that some peeps will advocate for one of our best player in Europe to play under 20 in an afcon year. Chukweze will go to afcon. Chuks and Kalu are the only consistent winger playing week in week out in a top league. So Chuks going to afcon for me is not even up for debate at all!

Agreed, I think i am one of the person who started that argument thats even if i am not the one.

My point is chuks is not above u20 level, but that doesn't mean i dont want him to go to afcon or the coach wont pick him or i want him dropped as if we are brazil, NOPE

Chuks is scoring some goals as a winger

I even stated earlier that there are some players who are even sure of their afcon spot despite of them not getting the goals,if those our strikers that dont score much can go to afcon that chuks must be there

Once again my point is that he is not bigger than u20

Chukwu.. What!!!

andrew444:


Yes 17 senior games and 9 laliga appearance

All this season❓

So out of 19 La Liga games this season he has played so far 9 games. That's good progress but keep things in perspective.

But it also means that the club is not as reliant on him as many have perceived.

Cup games are not given the same priority as league games.

In this regard he may be on the radar of but not necessarily first choice for Barcelona and Real Madrid and all the big clubs in Europe as some have stated and or implied here. But he is being considered without a doubt. I think he should stay in Villareal and develop. A move to soon may not be the best.

Young players often blow hot and cold he needs to time to develop he is not Wayne Rooney as some have compared him too.

Playing for the U20, we shouldn't necessarily try to replicate England, Spain and or Argentina we are not on the same level.

tbaba1234:

Chukwueze himself has played 26 games.

How many goals in LA Liga? I am sure if Rooney was playing the Europa league against the likes of Rapid Vienna he would have helped himself to a few more goals. But let us look at this impact wise;
Barcelona----> 0 goals and 0 assists.
Real Madrid----> 1 assist
Atletico Madrid----> Record not found, not even sure he played but I will have to check again.
Sevilla----> Ehm,
Valencia----> Let's just end it here.

This is not to diminish his achievements at all, I mean scoring against Rapid Vienna and the likes in the Europa league is a big achievement on it's own but do not compare that with Rooney at all at all. Just my point sha

This is Rohr so we will definitely play a 4-2-3-1. Ahmed Musa will start, Iwobi will start and Mikel coming back means he will most definitely start as the AMF. Where does that leave Chuks? On the bench. This is a 7-8 game tournament not a league season where you can rotate. Even if rotations come to mind you will first have Samuel Kalu before him, even if we play a 3-5-2 he cannot play that wingback role. So will he even play at the AFCON? Maybe the odd minute here and there, isn't it better that he goes to the U20, clocks 90minutes in every game and develops better? It is a no brainer really, U20 makes sense for him.
