Danielnino00: Aguero is an experienced world class striker, which coach wouldn't prefer him to jesus? Mind you he has more minutes played than jesus and has also started more matches than him Jesus is a proper striker, no sane coach will start firmino ahead of him 2 Likes 1 Share |

Edopesin:of course Jesus will bench firmino at city, but it'll not be for footballing reasons. Gabriel Jesus dey bench Aguero na. So forget the talk, nobody can bench Guardiola's favorite son goals or no goals he'll play. |

He indeed was the Weapon of Mass Destruction. He had a very high ceiling but just didn't reach those super heights. He had a very decent career for us and at club level but he could have been much much more. The talent was there. He could have been world class. In all, Martins was a real baller and one of the few players of that Mid-late 2000s era and early 2010s that I looked to for the Super Eagles when it came to tight games and tight corners. He was always one goal or one burst of lightening pace or super turn away from turning things around. TheGoodJoe: 5 Likes 1 Share |

Edopesin:Jesus is the Guardiola kind of striker, not necessarily a proper striker, Guardiola likes small, skillful stikers that can also defend from the front. Jesus can not survive in a mourinho or Alex Ferguson team. When you want to mention "proper strikers" You mention people like Harry Kane, Lewandowski, Diego Costa, Higuain ,Lukaku.... No be smallies like Jesus. |

Philosopher1979: He is a natural left winger. Although he can play anywhere across the front line (in fact he has 2G/A in 2 games as a striker), he will fizzle out in games if not played in his natural position. Sadio Mane can play anywhere across the front line (has 2 goals in 1 as a striker), but will easily disappear in games if not deployed on the wings. As good as Messi is ,he is always deployed as a winger so he can cut inside. 1 Like |

Hanibal: Lewandowski, lukaku are just as skillful as Jesus and they're proper strikers, sure guardiola likes skillful strikers but then again a striker that gives result will be taken over a skillful one Mourinho likes a Target man strikers that doesn't track back to try and defend when they lose position and know how to take chances when they come, not many strikers have that ability |

TheLoneCitizen: Osimhen and Firmino play different type of football Osimhen is an attacking threat that scores as a proper 9 that cannot be said for firmino whose stats are his passes and tackles I've not seen Osimhen play as an attacking midfielder but I trust he will play it that's how versatile he is but I cannot say the same for firmino playing as a proper striker 1 Like |

Edopesin: "Firmino whose stats are his passes and tackles" has 24G+A this season. Firmino is an Advanced Forward, he has to create chances and score goals. Osimhen is a poacher has to just score. |

You are right Elyte man. Reason why the name Fabrice Akwa cannot be erased from my memory. I remember Martins' debut for us against Republic of Ireland in 2004. He totally obliterated their defence with his lightening speed and quick change of direction. Indeed missing that 2006 WC was a major blow. elyte89: 2 Likes |
