Eizzy003:. That's so bad. I know Norwich isn't a rich club but paying £6000 to probably its most valuable player shows they aren't even grateful for his efforts. Makes me wonder what TF his agents have been doing. |

For all your long talk, it doesn't change a simple truth. Igbekeme was as hyped as much as Nwakali and even more. That is all my quotes with your name tagged shows. So If you still don't get that, that's your problem. And I cover a lot of players here despite my work/engagements schedule. I do the best I can to watch and cover those I can. Those I miss out on can be taken up by others. There is no sole person assigned the task of mentioning a player. If you know you have something on Igbekeme to share with the rest of the class, please do. Don't sit down there shouting and waiting for people to do something. And the truth is, Igbekeme has not been awesome this season at all. He has been bloody average. Perhaps that is why no one including yourself have bothered to give him a mention for this season. We have a lot of players to cover and it is not possible one person mentions all especially when such player has not really made the headlines like before. We have guys in Belarus I haven't even bothered giving mentions too. We have guys in Switzerland, Austria, Latvia and Hungary too. Young boys balling that I haven't mentioned so frequently or even at all. You think I got all the time? You better start contributing to the thread instead of whining like a child screaming non-existent favouritism nonsense and you can start by dropping reports on Igbekeme since it bothers you so much. No one is stopping you from doing so. P.S: I have it on good authority that Rohr was really happy with Nwakali's return and hopes he can continue. And from a tactical/analytical point of view, I understand Rohr looks at Nwakali as a very different midfield option compared to what we have. He is not keen on having him so soon as the lad needs to settle in at Huesca properly and get minutes under his belt but he got his eyes on him. He is seen as one player who has the ability and potential to feature as a deeplying playmaker and also interpret the CM role in another fine way. Now this is quite different from what Igbekeme offers. What Igbekeme gives you is what the likes of Etebo and Ramon Azeez can also give you. Lots of running (workrate) and energy with decent passing in tow. Igbekeme will bring nothing different. Nothing unique. Just another similar option to what we already have and he's not even better than them. I am just letting you know so that you will understand that it is not just about doing well, It is about having what the team needs that can expand our options and our plays. sheyishemba: 6 Likes 1 Share |

This is what they don't seem to understand. So we should just forget about him b'cos of his struggles??!! I bet we should have given up on Osimhen too. I bet Rohr was wrong to have blooded Osimhen in as early as 2017 while a Kayode was being supposedly ignored. I guess that was wrong and today Osimhen is crap right?! I'm not saying this always pays off but we can see that belief in our own homegrown high yield talents combined with giving chances to the best of those who also didn't come through our home youth system will help us get the most of the best of the bunch out there if not all. The truth is... One needs to always keep eyes on the big picture. TheGoodJoe: 2 Likes 2 Shares |

For Toyin Ibitoye, you can check his Twitter handle. He expressed it unashamedly. Very clear. Feel free to go to twitter. As for Rohr, sorry, I cannot show you. I got the info from a very close source to Rohr. You don't have to believe it. And Rohr picked Chidiebere but Chidi didn't play did he? If I recall, Chidi has no senior cap yet. Kelechi has one against Liberia but I don't even think that counts. Even Kelechi doesn't have an actual senior cap. But I think I won't fault Rohr if he thinks Kelechi's talents can come good based on what he's got in his game. But right now... A national team invite is not on the table. What is on the table now is Kelechi getting his ass into work at Huesca and really working his way back. That is the focus now. And if that works out, it will also be good for the Super Eagles in the long run, b'cos he has something we need in our midfield as another unique option. Rohr knows that. sheyishemba: 3 Likes |

He has been average at best this season to be factual. He got the minutes but he hasn't been spectacular. And again, I repeat... Start contributing to the thread by dropping the next report on Igbekeme when he plays. How about you do that instead of waiting for me or anybody else? I got eyes on many players and I am personally looking at what is best for the Super Eagles in the long run so don't expect me to be slowed down just b'cos of Igbekeme. It's not like he will add anything unique to the team. sheyishemba: 2 Likes 1 Share |

It's like you are not reading at all. I already said the game against Liberia doesn't even count. That's one. Secondly, no one is talking about inviting Nwakali now even when international football resumes later this year, if it would resume this year. Let the lad return to football in peace. Why are you so worked up about something that even some of us aren't bothered by? The lad just returned... And you think a NT invite is the next thing? Goodness... You guys wow me. Lol Lastly, I already said I don't expect you to believe it but I can confidently tell you that I know someone who chats well with Rohr. I just cannot share everything for very obvious reasons. Don't hate the facts bro. I don't have to prove anything but It's just what it is. I do have sources. sheyishemba: 2 Likes |

Best midfielder on the Zaragoza team?? Are you being serious right now? Lol... Please he is averagely decent but not the best midfielder on his team abeg. The best? Ahead of Raul Guti? Ahead for Inigo Eguaras? Or ahead of Alberto Soro? You are now overhyping the lad. Oga he is average at best. And average is not even a bad thing. Now, I don't know what else you want from K.Nwakali. The guy just returned and you expect he already has a position on his team? He just made his debut and you are already thinking of using that to rate his worth to the team? I don't get you. You are the sentimental one from what I see. Nwakali is still a neonate in that team despite that very encouraging cameo. Let him grow into the team. What's the rush to start rating him in his new team after just one 13 mins appearance? You are pretty funny man. And no one is talking of an NT invite for him now but the selectors and a few persons working with the SE team are just excited he is finding his feet again b'cos he remains on their radar in the long run "if" he comes good eventually.

Kelechi nwakali saw 8min of game time in laliga 2 and una no go allow person hear word. @supernerd i doubt if you have seen igbekeme play and if you have you will never compare his style of play to that of etebo. James have been one of zaragoza's best player since he joined and for that was rewarded with a new contract few days ago. And who told you rohr is so keen on kelechi nwakali? Dude have to get back to his best and hopefully mk the leap with huesca to laliga before such will happen. A player like azeez did it consistently in the spanish 2nd tier but never got a look in until he returned to laliga with garanada and immediately was recalled to the team. Kelechi nwakali still have a lot to do but to he honest he is on the right path. He is one player i had alot of high hopes on and wish he will turn his career. 8 Likes 1 Share |

komekn: There is nothing like 'a manager' when it comes to Stoke. Since Etebo joined, Stoke has changed managers 5 times. He went injured at the beginning of his second season, this season, and found it hard to break into the new manager's team. He missed the first two games through injury, and was on the bench for the next two. In those games Stoke got only one point from a possible 12. He got a In his team, he had the most touches, joint most shots, was the most fouled, blocked the most shots and was the second highest rated outfield player. In the next game, he had the highest pass accuracy, Stoke still lost. He didn't start the next game but started the next. In his fourth start Etebo had a rating of 8.45, one of the highest for that week, he didn't even score or assist, yet Stoke city lost. From then, Etebo was garnering an average rating of 7.4 per match. Two games before the the manager was sacked, Etebo picked up an injury and never got a look in. So in short, Etebo wasn't poor, but the form of the team and uncertainty at the club was the problem. 1 Like |

komekn: This is half of the story man, Etebo has played 45+ Mins just 7 times, if you add up those ratings, he will be the 3rd best rated player in Stoke. That is high for a midfielder. We shouldn't excuse mediocrity, we also shouldn't judge unfairly, man. 3 Likes |
