Bros, I agree that Komekn is very biased and polarized in his views and comments

But these insults aren't necessary. I know you're passionate about the Super Eagles and KC Nacho. We all are but we aren't fanatical fans here. We are respectful and courteous fans. We are loyal fans. We are humble fans. We don't respond to issues with insults. We do so with facts and figures.

This thread is a safe haven for some of us. We come here to chill and relax and relate with one another as unseen family that we are. Not to throw insults up and down. Are you saying that you will Ignore komekn if you were to see him pass by you tomorrow and somehow you find out he is the one? No. Rather, you introduce yourself to him and hug one another. This life na small thing. Nacho dey him house dey lounge (or on training ground working hard to succeed). He no send anybody to quarrel or insult on his behalf na.

It's good that we are calling out Komekn on his continuous inconsistencies and misrepresentations. But please, lets do so courteously. I am happy that Nacho seems to have found his groove and love for the game and I hope he continues this way.

However, enough of all this insults. No one here is perfect but we can all retrace our steps when we err in our words.

that's why they could not qualify for CHAN & WAFU nahhh..
the best home based players are in the academies...

the best for the NPFL right now...is to dismantle the league... young players from academies should be infused, salaries should be raised and paid promptly...and the clubs should be reduced even if it is only 10 clubs.... fine..
better to have only 10 clubs in the NPFL...clubs that can pay their players... and put forward a better management for football progress in the country
Where's was your mouth when they won away in SA?

Iheanacho isn't as rugged as Dessers hence, he will find it difficult getting numbers similar to what Dessers has now for Heracle. Iheanacho needs good players behind him to supply him with good passes to finish. To be a top scorer in the Eredivisie, ahead of strikers from more prominent clubs like Feyenord, PSV, Ajax and even Vittesse, while playing for a small club like Heracles no be beans. If Dessers could do this at Heracles, then imagine what he would do with Ziyech, Van Dee Beek and Tadic around him, if he was with Ajax

I can see you doing a 180 on Dessers already.. I remembered once making a case for the lad but you and Charlesemeka85 were all up on my case saying I only want him with the SE because of his skin tone.

That lad is a goal poacher, he was having a bad time at Utrecht because the team didn't need him but with the little chances he had, he manages to put himself into reckoning.

Nope. Not at all. Like I had said several times, KC should find a way out of Leicester City ASAP or else they would destroy his career. That dude has not really been given any opportunities to jell with Leicester City team. Once he didn't score in a couple of matches, then it's straight down to the bench! Compare the way LC treated Kelechi with the way Newcastle treats Miguel Almiron. That dude didn't score or have an assist in 25 games but they the team kept faith with him and keep giving him opportunities to change his fortune.

In fact, his assist on Saturday was his first assist for Newcastle since his big money move. Would an African be given such many opportunities to turn things around

Agreed about miguel almiron, he just got his first assist in the epl this weekend or so, he keeps on starting games despite no assist as an attacking midfielder or even 2 or 3 goals to his name
Re: "The Super Eagles Thread: The Road To AFCON 2023, 2025 And 2026 World Cup by Icon79(m): 5:13pm On Dec 02, 2019
Thank you! That's my sentiments exactly! But once an African fails to score in one or two games, even there was no scoring chances, they would quickly dump him on the bench. The level of racism in Europe is really sickening.

The only solution is for us to develop our own league.

I dont know why we keep making the same mistake by comparing Iheanacho to natural strikers. For the umpteenth time, Iheanacho is a forward but not a pure striker.

Leicester City striker Kelechi Iheanacho looked like Zinedine Zidane when he came on against Everton, according to ex-Foxes star Matt Piper.

Piper told Love Sport Radio that Iheanacho lit up the King Power Stadium when he came on, grabbing the winner with seconds to go.

He said: "Ihenacho, he comes on, he’s been really struggling and he's even been getting booed by some of his own crowd, the Leicester fans, and it was such a brilliant finish, the way he took it.

"Because it was last second everyone went crazy but the actual technique and how he manufactured the chance for himself was absolutely awesome.

"He’s one of the only guys to fully celebrate twice [after the VAR decision].

"Have we signed Zidane? He came on and his touches suburb.

"He was doing touches, little flicks, that only confident players do. He came on and was worth that full £25m that we payed for him."

One of main concerns for Leicester fans, whose club is currently second in the Premier League, is the possibility of losing manager Brendan Rodgers - who is being linked with a whole host of clubs, most notably Arsenal.

But Piper believes the project at Leicester, the strength of the squad and the calibre of ownership will be enough to make Rodgers stay.

Piper told Love Sport: "It will always be a slight concern for Leicester City fans as fans this is one of the downfalls of success.

"He comes in and makes a real impact since coming in.

"He’s taken the team two or three levels higher than where we were at the end of last season.

"I believe Leicester will go top four and I’ve been proven right so far.

"You look at the football club, the chairman, the King Power group looking to spend money.

"I can’t see Brendan Rodgers jumping ship and going across to Arsenal when I think something really special is happening at Leicester City."

Club Brugge winger Emmanuel Dennis has predicted that Lille goal poacher Victor Osimhen will play for either Barcelona or Real Madrid in the near future.

Dennis is aware of the qualities of 2015 FIFA U17 World Cup Golden Boot winner as they were teammates in Nigeria's U23 National Team before their promotion to the Super Eagles.

Touted as one of the brightest young prospects in Africa by the Confederation of African Football, Osimhen has taken the Ligue 1 by storm since his arrival from Sporting Charleroi in the summer and he is expected to move to a more glamorous league if he maintains his goalscoring form.

The Ultimate Strikers product netted during Lille's 1-0 win against Dijon last weekend, taking his tally to 10 goals in all competitions.

''Osimhen is one of the best attackers in France and even in the world. I think he will go far, as far as Barcelona or Madrid. I see him end up in Spain," Dennis told Téléfoot.

With 4 goals and two assists to his name in his last four matches for the senior national team, Osimhen has quickly established himself as the heir to retired Nigeria international Odion Ighalo.

Don't know if this is already here. KC makes Garth Crooks BBC team of the week. See here


https://www.bbc.com/sport/football/50623009

According to Garth, KC played like a man possessed. He said I know KC can score but this guy has even improved so much!!!!!!
Big ups to those who never gave up on him, GoodJoe, Basco, Snerd, Kellycute (the real Handsome Gorilla) aka the Super Delusional squad.

That's actually not true .

In the UK KC is classed as a homegrown player of Manchester city. He arrived at Manchester City as a teenager 2013/14 trained and played in thier academy for near two years plus before making his first team debut.

So where is built from the scratch so which money did you pay too City train and nurture him.


And before he joined Man city,where was he ?
U think Man city would have sent scouts to Nigeria to carry him from his father house to England if they didn't see him play at that u-17 world cup?

Jeez Komekn ..what is this? grin


This may be hard for some to digest but Osimhen will not enter the youth team of any top EPL club as it stands. If Indeed he could make the youth team of a Championship side that would be more probable but not certain.
So let's have no doubt Solanke is far ahead of Osimhen in every respect.


U have been exposed last last

Iheanacho comes on to the field for Leicester after 62 minutes and plays like a man possessed.
There was a purpose and maturity about his performance which I have not seen from him before. I know this lad can score goals - I saw that at Manchester City - but his game has developed
