See BAD BELLE completely uncalled for.

Tega Abrahams is a Nigerian too it seems your prejudice has made you forget that.

It is not bad belle. Abraham disrespected Pinnick and us in the past.

Dennis' call from the word "go" was deserved and his rich vein of form shown so far continues. This goes beyond the stats. You saw the game.
Ojo is still yet to show us he deserves a call. Well the season is still young and Ojo still has time. Time will tell.


Vanity and mere opinion don't create stats, variables do.

Funniest thing is that FIFA Gives Ndidi a potential highest rating of 84!!! Someone that is on 81 already at age 22. Funny lots.



They're implying he can't get much better than he is currently. I'd disagree.

Dennis have been doing well in Belgium for the past 3 seasons now. He has been a steady figure in brugge's line up when he is fit and atimes was used as a wing back.

He is a very fast and skillful fellow who is very good on one on one situations. He has been monitored for a long time by Rohr but the form of the likes of samu, chukwueze, onyekuru and Rohr's reliance and trust on Musa and Simon made his inclusion in the team a bit late.

Rohr's style when it comes to players invitation is one that spurs this lads to do more in their respective clubs to get a chance

Yeah. Just like your mere opinion about how good Ojo had been in lowly Scotland negates the fact that he hasn't been awesome at all. Let him do more and his chance will come.

Don't mind EA Sports. That ceiling of 84 they set on Ndidi will be smashed most likely.

Point of correction, in Europa League. As at the time of discussion, is the Belgium league better than Europa League?

Stoke is bottom of the Championship. They lost again today. Etebo played 90 minutes.

Only 2 points after 10 games.

Etebo needs to get out or he will be in league 1 next season.

For a winger, what he has done in Scotland is basic. Nothing spectacular at all. He needs better figures and performances than that to get noticed.

Even Moussa Dembele of Lyon was in Scotland once and tearing things up but he never got the attention. He left for France and lad is now in the true eyes of scouts.

I think the rangers move was to resurrect his fledgling career. He was highly rated and wanted by few Bundesliga and epl teams before the Reims move last season which didn't pan out as planned.

Even in the few games I have seen him play for Rangers especially in the uel he was just decent and atimes below par. Currently I rate the wingers we have at present in the team above him.

Hazard is more talented than Bale. Bale is just a typical English (Wales) player - all speed and little else.


O pari

Bale is far better than hazard
You said just speed? Am sure u haven't watch bale play closely, I rate him after cr7 and messi.
He his on par with neymar but on a very good day bale is more dangerous than neymar

Well that's for u, the Scottish league is not as bad as people see it and players have got big moves straight out of the Scottish league.

Talent doesn't hide itself, once a player is good no matter the league eyes will be on him.

He is decent but have to do more to get a chance in the super eagles.

Let's talk about Dennis....

8:09 - Emmanuel Dennis' goal for Club Brugge is the earliest they have ever scored in a Champions League game (8 minutes, 9 seconds). He is the third Nigerian to score against Real Madrid in the competition, after James Obiorah and Ayila Yussuf. Stunned.

Any lowly league can be a springboard for a talented player but it remains what it's.

Those 15 goals comes with him always being injured.

How many times did Hazard finish with double figures goal and assist wise during his time in the epl?

Bale's undoing have been fitness issues cus he is prone to injuries. Bale is an explosive player who is a nightmare to any defense in the world. He his very quick, clinical and a better team player than hazard.

And he ended up:
-scoring a brace against Madrid at the Bernabeu
-scoring on Nigeria's 59th Independence day
-doing the iconic Ronaldo celebration
