The term verge is ambiguous and pregnant with meaning.

First of all Iwobi was nearly released by Arsenal at 14 and 16. He was not considered a big prospect or potential England international. England did not rate him to be plain speaking.

Amaju had little if any input, however, JJay his uncle had the over riding influence within the NFF and over him. He even lived in Turkey as a toddler with his Uncle JJay. That in itself gives you an insight into his closeness to his Uncle.

You use the term break out season again not sure what you mean exactly. Iwobi played 13 games that season 2015/16. That's not particularly outstanding but very promising for a young player trying to find his way in big club like Arsenal.

Nonetheless, everything started to happen for Iwobi almost immediately, once he played for Nigeria. That's a fact.

Football is always unpredictable and there are many boys who played for England over and above Iwobi. Those boys have literally disappeared into obscurity.

they tried to get Zaha, but Palace wouldn't allow it. Some Arsenal fans are still bitter about the Zaha move that tanked, Pepe was the alternative

Eze na lazy player abeg. He hardly tracks back to help his team n scared of throwing himself on tackles. He really need to work on his work rate

a friend of mine just made this observation

TheSuperNerd:

I agree. But he is still a beautiful talent. Defensively, he will definitely be a liability until he steps up his defensive game.

Foden is on an upward trajectory he is 19 and he is playing in the first team. He is almost the darling Of English youth football.

KC is now 23 he is not a youth player anymore, he has been diminishing consistent and continously for the past three seasons.

He is not even getting on the bench, what on earth is he learning.

There gets a point when you have to face reality and the reality is KC is not in the plans of the Manager.

BascoVanVeli:


Yes and[b] Eze is a big lad[/b]. Could be a threat in the air with his height.

The guy is strongly built oooo....like a high budget Moses Simon...HE PLAYS AS AN ATTACKING MIDFIELDER...What we have been looking for......

darkelf:


I know this was just highlights, but I am impressed with his agility and skill.

If he continues like this, I see him displacing Iwobi and putting undecided Ebere Eze to shame. This guy would not need "red carpet"or "begging" to play for us.

gamaliel9:
I think SINCERE SETH will add value to u23 defense

charlesemeka85:
Lol displacing Iwobi ko!

darkelf:


See ehn, I want the Super Eagles to succeed just as much as anybody here does. However, I feel Iwobi is becoming too complacent in the team and anybody who shows consistency and can play same position should be given a chance

charlesemeka85:
Lol displacing Iwobi ko!

elyte89:

D eze I watched tonight is just dere,d performance tonight didn't really match up to d hype here,maybe if I get to watch him again,he will convince me,but as for today,d guy is just dere

charlesemeka85:
Complacent because he underperformed against Brazil? Give the kid a break. Players do hv on n off days on the pitch.

Na so una go call for Aribo head any day wey em no play up to the standard he has been known of since his debut.

Na for this same thread I hear say ekong no be good defender while ndidi no Sabi pass ball.

Bros shun abeg!

charlesemeka85:
Sure he is very talented but by the look of things he strives better in the 10 role and is a jj kind of player.

Trying to convince a player who has already made his CHOICE to rescind his decision is begging

darkelf:


He underperformed in the last 4 matches for us. Even in his club, when last has he scored a goal or given as assist. I am being objective here please.

To think he is the only AM we are relying on now is a damn shame

And at the bolded, I will continue to say my mind and give my opinion irrespective of whether anyone is rude to me or not. It's my own opinion and I am entitled to it whether it pains certain people or not

tbaba1234:


This is objectively false. You do not even have to go far. Iwobi was the best player on the pitch against Ukraine

TheSuperNerd:
Yes. The lad does remind me of Okocha. No hypes at all.

Now with respect our fast paced style of play and quick transitions... I will go with Iwobi over Eze. Eze loves to showboat much more than Iwobi and that can kill an attacking flow/move.

That said, I believe Eze is still needed and that flaw of his can be worked on. Also his workrate needs work.

TheSuperNerd:
Not so fast. Dest will only have Dumfries to compete with had he chosen Holland and several reports out of holland affirm he is a much better RB than Dumfries. Inspite of this... Dest chose the lesser option in USA. His fatherland.

In all, it is a choice. Not everyone will choose like Dest.
