I’ve watched Odubajo’s clips before his devastating injury. He was pretty decent . But I doubt he’s regained his form
komekn:


When l compared both of them to Dominic Iorfa who was then playing for England and Wolves as a first team first choice player.

I was called bias and accused of being his agent over hyping him, he denied Nigeria.

These two German boys have done exactly what Tammy has done. But we still keep begging them.

In my opinion even Odubanjo who is now coming back to form after injury is better than them. Indeed IMO technically he is better than Iorfa. However, for the physicality of the English game, Aerial dominance and pace Iorfa has the advantage , in addition Iorfa is also CB.

But for the position of RB with Nigeria in consideration our technical style of play my view is that Odubanjo may have may have the advantage. But open to debate but he would be the best option seemingly.

Rangers fans are over the moon with Joe Aribo, following a masterful performance away to Legia Warsaw.

The midfielder was the standout player in tonight's Europa League first leg, stepping through the press and using the ball intelligently.


Though Steven Gerrard's side couldn't get an away goal, Aribo certainly impressed in Warsaw.


@ross_kane: Think we should enjoy Joe Aribo while we can. Boy is a baller


@sirdave2010: ant believe Aribo is ours !!!! #55

@scott_lindsay96: Joe Aribo is the best player in the country and there’s not a fkn thing anyone can do about it


@johndcuthbert: Aribo does look a class player, he will the difference for games that we were drawing or losing in last year

@sunshinekid10: You’re absolutely mental I’m afraid if you think there is a better midfielder in world fitba than Joe Aribo x

@Aribo_bears: He is like nothing I’ve ever watched. That boy will play in the premier league.


@markcrowe1986: aribo is a star in the making

@ajconnell1980: Aribo is a baller, and will only get better

aribo's rating tonight against legia

Joe Aribo - 8
Failed to connect with a back post header early on, but didn't let that missed opportunity affect him.

Turned in a dominant display in the midfield, striding forward with purpose whenever he won possession.

Josh Onomah is pushing to make his Fulham debut this week after playing for the club’s under-23s on Monday.

Onomah is a new signing at Craven Cottage after joining the club on transfer deadline day as part of the deal that took Ryan Sessegnon to Tottenham.


The 22-year-old has left Spurs for Fulham in a bid to secure more first-team football, but he is yet to feature so far.

The midfielder has been involved in full training, though, while he also played for the U23s on Monday.


Onomah came through 45 minutes against West Brom's U23s at Motspur Park, getting on the scoresheet in the process.


He is now hoping to finally make his Fulham debut this week and could even get the chance on Wednesday night against Millwall.


Manager Scott Parker is reluctant to make changes to the side that beat Huddersfield 2-1 on Friday.

However, Onomah could secure himself a spot on the bench. If not, he could make his debut on Saturday at home to Nottingham Forest.

Fulham have a near fully-fit squad for Wednesday's visit of Millwall as they bid to make it three wins on the spin.

“We are all good,” said Parker. “Denis Odoi is probably the only one who is struggling a bit at the moment as he tries to get over a bit of a knee issue.

"Other than that, we are fit and well.”

With the expected addition of Ademola Lookman and the current form of Seyi Ojo, add Onyekuru, Kalu, Chukwueze and Simon we are dripping with talent on the wings. The question is Musa still going to be relevant? Or are we going to use the yardstick of experience and fan favorite to still pick him above the aforementioned? Lookman ( at his brilliant best) for me is the heir to Victor Moses.

20 cumulatively.

He played 15 last season

2 the season before.
How many of those games were starts? On the page you posted, he actually have played 1030 minutes, which means alot of the games he played last season and the season before were cameos.

He started 14 out of the 17 games in the Bundesliga 3 . He would have played more of not for the shoulder injury he picked up last season. The injury kept him out for several weeks.
Re: "The Super Eagles Thread: The Road To AFCON 2025 And 2026 World Cup by Joebie: 7:42am On Aug 23, 2019
He had just 2 games he didn’t start (both 1 min cameos) That brings us back to 18

Actually tbaba is right. He started 14 in Bundesliga 3. Subbed in 3 times

Where is Ekpolor from?

Modified
Full name, Elohor Godswil Ekpolo.

And what influence did VicMo’s parent have I. His decision to play for Nigeria?


Is this the same Ekpolo that left Barcelona to play for Fleetwood Town ❓ Could only muster s dozen games over near two seasons and left for the deeper obscurity of the Nordic leagues.

People need to understand that there are players who do not need the SE to give thier careers a desperate and much needed life saving boost.

That will be true of most players playing at a good level in the top leagues and who have played youth level for England or any other top European league and country.

Hum watching Ejaria and Aribo....the two seem to be at par..at best languid....not as skillful as Papilo who was more languid sef...Aribo and Ejaria lack resoluteness,combativeness or guile of a Papilo...

Just watch Joax Felix..the Portuguese at Vincente Calderon you will understand...


Ejaria and Aribo are rally average,we have to lower our expectations on them,enjoy their game...


Don't know what you mean by combativeness❓ l want to presume you mean physicality.

First of all when it comes to physicality, aggression, doggednes and drive garnished with end product, powerful shooting and some decent level of technicality that's Joe Aribo. With regards to Aribo you are talking completely without any iota of substance.

Aribo was wanted by a plethora of EPL clubs and chose Rangers because of Gerrard. His stock has risen considerably and if Rangers will allow it he will go to the EPL in the January transfer window. But more realistic and pragmatic to go to Liverpool at the end of season.

Ejaria has been outstanding in the Championship merging guile and skill with a good degree of physicallity to stand out.

I am not sure what you mean by average if that means poor quality then you ARE WRONG

Comparing Aribo to Kanu or Joao Felix is like comparing Ndidi to Chukwueze. By the way who told you Aribo lacks ''resoluteness" and "combativeness"? The way some people watch football ehn, sometimes I wonder if it's the same sport we are all watchingundecided

However, his technical ability for me exceeds Dominic but then end product may be Questionable however on pace physicality and Aerial threat offensive and defensive Dominic wins.

Tega just needs to play 3/4 games to gain confidence and then consistency this has to be his breakout season. He has left Tottenham now.

Fulham are the best footballing side in the Championship and will play a good number of teams in the EPL off the park. The just lacked a good defence and so rightly got relegated .

Fulham are the best team for Tega to get his game back on track. Another kid l watched since he was 15 when Ramsey, Ferdinand and Ehiogu(RIP) were the U18 coaches at Tottenham.

If I'm right Scot Parker was a coach at Tottenham too so he knows Tega well. For many years Tega was the JJay of the Tottenham youth set up.

So let's see how he will progress.

I see him as someone who will compete with etebo for the CM role...Ndidi is primarily a DM... the conservative kind..that sits deep to defend...

not until Rohr change the play style to be a full fledged attacking team...Ndidi will keep sitting deep to shed the defenders.....

You are always writing out of point. How does this junk u wrote relate to the argument we are having?

I said I made a personal observation, that Edo origin players tend to be easily swayed by our advances than others, and I used ekpolo and osede as the least examples, out of blue ,u jumped in and started comparing/talking about who does not need the eagles to better their career.

Enough with the lies, people didn't go up because u were denigrating ndidi, though u are always guilty of denigrating our homegrown talents, people rather made their feelings known that they wanted aribo as a CM to compliment Ndidi to make our midfield stronger. Dey echoed that they would not like the idea of one sitting for the other, hence someone like emmyboy was already drawing a midfield formation of Ndidi(DM), Aribo(CM) and Iwobi(AM). You too dey lie
