I do not think Iorfa is on the radar of Arsenal. It would have been more impressive if it was the championship player of the month not just his clubside.

Semi Ajayi has won the championship player of the month and he is not on Arsenal's radar. The whole championship not just a modest clubside.

Arsenal is tongue in cheek it's to highlight the issue.

What month did Ajayi win Championship player of the month in 2019.

He is still outstanding for club and league. That's not say Ajayi isn't both of them are. Even Adarabioyo is starting to show some promise too at Blackburn.

The Nigeria sport awards didn't even nominated ndidi ...that show how lowly we rate him here
Oshimen scores, who remembers ndidi?
Who analyses his performance other than the normal " he played well " comments
And yes ndidi is definitely world class and he has been ever consistent
Zuby is nowhere near ndidi
Imagine ndidi only midfielder in the 4-1-4-1 formation yet mist clean sheets with less goals conceeded and u still doubting him or calling him average
Later caf will snub him then we start crying foul play when we ourselves do not value him
Leceister values him....it shows a lot
Ndidi is world class !!!!!!

Football awards only recognize goalscorers... the people who do the dirty work of protecting the defense are hardly appreciated... that's why people are crazy about Messi and Ronaldo...

Truidstar will be the happiest person with the new development.
Glad Dessers came out bodly to declare his unwavering desire to dorn the green white green.

Was shocked to hear him talk about how happy he'll be if called to play against lowly rated African sides. This are the kind of boys we should be going after. He said same while among top scorers in division two and he is repeating it as top scorer in the elite division. Unlike some boys who want to use Nigeria to gain attention. I wish him the very best.

Pundit: Dessers, you have done so well this season, what are your chances of getting a call up to the Belgian side?

Dessers: Belgium? Oh no! they were never an option. With me, nothing has changed. It is still Nigeria. It will be an honour to be a curator in the SEs than play alongside Eden.

Nigerians:This is our boy.

Belgians: E no go better for you. You this bast**d

Nigerians: that is how it feels to loose a top prospect to you guys... Enjoy your Tammys, Sydneys, Tomoris, Ogbonas.

Hahaha...

I have my belief of gift and hard work. Cristiano Ronald's friend, I doubt can put in the amount of work CR7 does.

Players can still flop but an exposed player with lots of quality like Ravel Morrison, Jean Carlos Chera flop because they lack the drive to work hard and get carried away by their hypes.

There is no way that Ronaldo's friend works as hard as Ronaldo, he won't be close to a top player. However, he could not meet up in some way and fell by the way side.



Ravel is a waste man highly indisciplined and without any sense of focus.

I guess the party lifestyle has derailed him.

Komekn I have been longing to ask u this question since the championship season kicked off.


When Ajayi was doing well for Rotherdam, some of us praised him for his poise in defense and attacking prowess, but u tried to shout us down, saying Ajayi had shown nothing special, instead he looked good bkus he was playing in a kick and rush team, in ur own words, blood and gut. So please, in a nutshell, can u explain to us why he has been a hit for a ball playing side like Westbrom? Mind u, he is rated as one of the best ball-playing centre backs in the championship, currently. He is also rated as one of the Albion's best transfers ever.




Personally, he wowed me against Brazil with the way he was bringing out balls from behind like Joel Matip.

Who is the best CB then?

Back it up with stats please and not grammar

That's a very subjective question ❓

Who is the best defenders in the world? Is it the most expensive? most assists, etc

It's not so simplistic in this regard, I can not say to you conclusively who is the best CB in the Championship now.

However, at the end of the season accolades are given by the league as to who is the best in different positions.

What we can say conclusive is that a player is among the top defenders. You can sum it up with MOTM awards which defender got the most, or performance stats.

However. I will say conclusively that Iorfa undoubtedly among the top performing defenders in the Championship.

Your point? You are claiming Amuneke is too big to be assistant to Rohr because he's coached Tanzania and I'm saying it isn't necessarily true.
With that, he could be well positioned to replace Rohr when he leaves.
Whether he'd want it or not is a different thing. Saying he's "too big" for it is hilarious.

A professional coach in Amuneke is telling you being an assistant is too big for him. Who are we to say otherwise? Let us be honest telling Amuneke to come and assist Rohr is an insult to Amuneke and so is suggesting him for our age group teams

Very simple look at his career progression from Charlton to Arsenal youth and non league over the years.

Remember my quality proposition. Make sure you are the stand out player in your club and league.

Rotherham played the second highest number of long balls in the Championship last season. They played a quintessential Kick and rush football style . In that team he stood out even his physical presence was clearly above everybody else in the team. He wasn't playing on the deck skilful football in Rotherham. I wasn't impressed there was nothing to be impressed about.

Particularly when you compated him to Fikayo Tomori at the time.

I didn't see anything that showed poise in that team. They were relegated and he stood out and didn't go down with them.

WBA have a great manager that plays good quality technical on the deck football. That's the style and that's what he has been playing. WBA arguably have some of the best quality players in the Championship. Many with EPL experience. As a consequence he is IMPROVING. I have one question mark about him, PACE and recover otherwise everything is OK.

I expect them to be promoted automatically to the EPL next season and to win the Championship.

I watched the Brazilian game and he came unstuck a few times. He is good on the ball but not excellent. But then which of our defenders are.

If we are getting coverage here, from leagues in Poland, why not in Turkey? If he was doing great things, we would hear of it on this thread at least, irrespective of mainstream media.

He has just two assists in how many games?

Omanbala, for someone who likes to call Iwobi and other English-born players mediocre, you seem to support mediocrity yourself

If you make assertion it's not for us to substantiate it for you.

You should present the facts to underpin your position not us.

So how did you come to that conclusion by yourself❓

At the the triple marked paragraph, when he was "standing out" at Rotherdam, u said he looked good bkus of the long balls(kick and rush), but today he has gone to a ball playing side to "stand out" yet again, proving ur earlier deductions wrong, hence u suddenly changed it using a different line in "WBA arguably have some of the best quality players in the Championship. Many with EPL experience", to make it look like he is doing good bkus of the quality players around him.


To me, at Westbrom, dude has proven that his Rotherdam exploits were no fluke. Give him the props.

That's hypocrisy, bigotry and double standard .

Imagine we could test all our youth national players. With an offer of a change of allegiance to England, Germany, France, USA, etc resulting in a very lucrative football contract and nationality of these countries.

Tell what % do you think will opt to remain in Nigeria and playing in the NPFL for peanuts.

That proposition is simply birthed from a very parochial and biased view.

So what is LOYALTY and ALLEGIANCE in the Nigerian context. Do you know the % of technocrats from Nigeria in the UK that have changed Nationality by choice. Then pledged allegiance to the Queen are they now traitors according to you.

How many people on this thread given the option to denounce Nigeria and accept USA for a better life will actually do it.

Sorry you have a very superficial approach to most things no depth.


so much words with no substance...
I am not asking your borough players to denounce their citizenship but be able to take the super eagles as priority if they really wanna play for us like DESSERS

Iwobi still have his British passport...playing for the super eagles or D'TIgers doesn't stop you from being citizen in your birth country or not pledging your allegiance to the queen when reciting the national athem ...
