Get ur facts right. Azeez's contract with Granada will be up by the end of the month. Unless they offer him another contract, dude aint going up with Granada. I dont think he was convincing enough to warrant a new contract, though.

So he was only signed for 6 months?

Because I actually saw him duh. Growth spurts at 20 are highly improbable. There is a benefit of a doubt but if you have not seen him how do you know yourself?

Ramon Azeez joins Granada

Tolu Adedayo Tolu Adedayo

Nigeria International Ramon Azeez completed a permanent transfer to Spanish second-tier club Granada on deadline day, ending a two-year association with CD Lugo.

Granada informed on their official website on Thursday night that Azeez will be a red-and-white player for the remainder of the 2018-2019 campaign and three more seasons.

He has been described as a skillful footballer in the reading of the game and is a midfielder with great capacity for defensive work and physical deployment.
Azeez departs CD Lugo with 54 appearances under his belt across all competitions, scoring two goals.
The 26-year-old, who featured for the Super Eagles at the 2014 World Cup, began his professional career in Spain with Almeria.

BTW, I am gunning for Senegal tonight smiley

That country has toiled so much in the world of soccer, they have come so close on some occasions, yet have not won any single title at any level of football (asides beach soccer)

It would be nice to see them break that jinx tonight even with an African coach.

This AFCON title must come to West Africa.

I hv seen both play but sentiment aside aribo is more talented and works harder for his team than onomah who seem uninterested sometimes.

Aribo is left-footed and versatile as well. He scores goals too

Aribo has had a much HARDER and DIFFICULT ROUTE to football having not had the under pinning foundation of a football academy. He came from non league straight into the championship in 2015 that's phenomenal. He has more drive and determination and that alone may see him push himself much higher in the long run than Onomah.

However, going to Rangers although seemingly a lower league that's below the Championship in quality, is actually a GREAT CAREER MOVE. Next season i can see him in the EPL if all goes to plan and he steps up his game. He was outstanding in league one last season.

In comparison I have seen and watched Onomah in training and matches since he was 16, spoken to his coaches too. He has been outstanding in the Championship over the past two season plus but lacks consistency sometimes in my opinion. But from what i have seen Onomah is better technically speaking and in probably every other area , however mental drive may be less, the over powering will to win will make you a WINNER not just talent alone.

When I was much younger a distant cousin came from the village to stay with us he was 22 , very malnourished shockingly at that age he was able to grow a quite few inches taller, i dont know how many but he was clearly much much taller than he was before.

My father who is an academic and microbiologist also found it quite surprising but scientifically explainable.

I am talking from first hand experience, I also know the coaching crew at Charlton and recruitment heads although I knew the ones at Tottenham a lot more really sad that Ehiogu former Tottemham coach passed away so tragically.

So i am talking from a perspective of first hand knowledge not hearsay.

I have been following Osigwe for sometime. The guy doesn't look good enough.

Where we should look at now for immediate shopping is from the current U23 goalies: Maduka Okoye, Uzoho and Oremade. We can also look at Alampasu.

I see people mentioning Zaccala. Dude has potentials but still has a long way to go. Let's see him team up with the 2021 U20 team and then we know in which direction his Development can go.

for Mikel replacement is a very hard call on the coach mind you guys Joe aribo natural position is not a AMF but an CMF so he can't fill in Mikel position though plays well as an AMF but the best replacement is Ebere eze even Doherty has said he has already recommend him to rohr hope he get called up aribo is perfect replacement for Ogu but for Mikel is between onomah and eze but eze has proven himself QPR is jex limiting his performance hope he get a good club coz his work rate is very impressive but nwakali is a no brainer for me this dude is not even worth a place in the U-23 not to talk of first team . the perfect replacement for ighalo is Tammy this is not base on prejudice this dude is really good but this dude has chosen not to play for us the best player for now is okereke he'll drop deep for us to see the best of onyekuru and chukweiser in the team but without prejudice I really rate Tammy if we can get him this team will be really dope

I don't know what is wrong with you and Andrew44 though. I don't mean it in a bad way.

The names you people keep mentioning have been known to be great players from the youth right to this minute.

These are players that have been consistent for more than 10 years, always playing anywhere they find themselves. leave from big clubs to big clubs.

Can these be said of our own old legs?

Maybe we should keep Mikel, Ogu, Joel Obi, Akpeyi, Ezenwa then just because some just cant see the name of Balogun on the list of old legs that should leave.

We have alot of good young defenders that needs space to play but we don't want to make way for them, using wrong comparison as excuses.

Which of our old legs are consistent or can make the first team of all the names you mentioned?

Good evening to all the sports loving fans on this thread.

A suggestion just crossed my mind and I decided to share.

Can we draft a comprehensive list of players who can readily add grit and depth to the current super eagles team?, After that we will keep sharing on all social media sites till it get to the appropriate authorities.

Who is with me on this?

Kindly share if there are better options for us to explore

Thanks

Onomah's biggest problem is inconsistency. Talent wise he is highly regarded but I don't think he works hard enough cus if he does pochetino would have given him more chance in the first team.

Even when he played for villa 2 seasons ago on loan he started very well and was exceptional which propelled villas coach then Bruce to approach spurs for onomah's permanent signing which was turned down. Few months later his performance dropped and was singled out for bad performances by villa's fans every week.

Last season in sheffield he was just an OK player with nothing spectacular. He have been linked with a move to the Bundesliga and I pray it works out for him.

Aribo progression since leaving non league football have been commendable. He showed a lot of promise which made rangers to snap him up and judging from where he is coming from I think the Scottish league is a step up for him also playing in Europe will also help in developing his mental strenght and aid his exposure to men's football as well.

I have followed him since he was promoted to Charlton's first team and his qualities is one that will propel him to the top if he continues with his development also gerard will help him develop to a better midfielder.

From what I noticed in his game: he is powerful and strong which will make him adapt and excel in African football, he is versatile ie can play in the 3 positions in the midfield, he is left-footed and skillful with an eye for goal, also a good passer of the ball.
Also his big physique will be need in the middle cus he is a big but mobile lad

He is still rough but judging from where he is coming from its understandable and I believe gerard will help nurture him to be better and competitions in an ambitious team as rangers will push him to work harder.
