Kelechi Nwakali is a player of interest by a lot of people based on his outstanding exploits at the youth level. When he bought a house...it was here...when he was partying around...the news came here and people slated him..when he was getting playing time in an obscure club in a backwater league...people brought it here...I have seen pictures of him doing many things not related to football in this forum....so he is a player of interest both by those who love him and those who are totally disappointed in him or don't love him.... So even a 5 seconds cameo in the next match would make the news here...if it's not by supernerd...it would be by someone else who probably wants to mock him.... So guys we are stuck with him....it is not a matter of igbekeme.if igbekeme lost form and starts playing in cyprus...it wont be discussed in 2 pages...but I can guarantee that it would take more than 10 pages discussion if it was kelechi..so it is a matter of kelechi being a player of interest and focus 17 Likes |

rabzy:the problem majority of super eagles fans is that they love dwelling in the past. The u17 world cup that nwakali stared in was many years ago so he needs to dust his lazy ass and get to work. Boiz football is different frm that of men. I had high hopes in him which vanished after he flopped in the dutch top tier and still couldnt hold down a regualr place in porto 2nd team. Lets hope and pray that he finds his feet in huesca inorder to fullfill his huge potentials. The nwakali i saw at the afcon u23 competition was a shadow of his old self but i wont judge him with that. He really needs to work on his stamina and agility as well as his recovery. On the ball he seems jiltery and off it he is a huge liability to his team. Coaches of nowadays dont tolerate such players, in other words, off the ball contribution is highly regarded in todays football. You guys will curse and insult a player like iwobi who is atleast in a decent epl team but will sing high praises of a players who is still living on pass glory just because he saw 8mins of game time 3 Likes |

Show me the whoscored ratings that show he is the best MF on his team. Because Sofascore ratings show something very very different indeed. Two MFs on that team are rated in the top 3 players for Zaragoza and Igbekeme was not even one of them. Also statewise, those three midfielders outshine him by far. He only shows up in the top 3 for his team in Dribbles (1st), and interceptions per game (3rd), and freekick attempts. Iguaras and Guti are the two highest rated MFs on that team and even Soro has five assists to his name alongside bagging 4 goals. So I really want to see these particular whoscored ratings you refer to. Please show us because I didn't just drop three names like that. I had already done my homework. And ohhh his team plays later today, be sure to drop a report while you are at it okay. Cheers. sheyishemba: 1 Like 1 Share |

charlesemeka85: Our interest in Nwakali arose from the fact that very few Nigerian players can man that attacking midfield position we so much needed. The thing with Nwakali is not preferential treatment by based on demand for an AM. Since, Okocha retired and Mikel couldnt fill in our games suffered because we dont have that natural midfield orchestrator. However, in Nwakali we have not just a natural AM but a really gifted one, at that. Therefore, we campaigned vigorously for him to get playing time and take his rightful spot in the team. Meanwhile, the boy still have time and only time will tell how long he can keep his admirers waiting. As much as I want to see him excel and ignore all the people accusing him of laziness I am also running out of patience. 2 Likes |

Emmanuel Dennis closer Club Brugge exit after Sheffield United ‘make contact’ scorebig by scorebig June 20, 2020 12:30 pm Emmanuel Dennis could still be most expensive departure from Club Brugge Emmanuel Dennis - Going...going...going... 0 SHARES Emmanuel Dennis has moved closer to quitting Club Brugge after it was reported that Premier League club Sheffield United have contacted some of their top targets. Dennis has been high on the shortlist of Sheffield United for several months now. And manager Chris Wilder revealed he has made contact with some of his transfer targets. “We definitely made 100 percent contact. Last week I had a board meeting where I communicated my wishes to move the club forward,” he told Yorkshire Live. “I made my recommendations, but that has obviously been influenced by the current situation where the club is losing money.” Belgian champions Club Brugge hope to cash in on Dennis exit, but it is left to be seen whether they could get as much as 25 million Euros for the Super Eagles forward. Dennis himself has returned from holidays in Cannes, France, to join his team’s training camp. He has said the Belgium Cup final against Antwerp early in August would most likely be his last game for Club Brugge 1 Like |

I have watched the lad a couple of times and I still await anyone to tell me that one unique thing he brings to the table. If it is dribbling which he does best for Zaragoza, Etebo also is a dribbler. Ejaria coming in is even a much better dribbler. If it is workrate, Etebo, Ndidi and Ramon has that locked down easily. Or is it passing? Is he a better passer than Iwobi, Ndidi, and co? What exactly is unique about Igbekeme? Tell me. Ofcos I know about his contact extension but it does not suddenly make him the best MF on the team. Players get contract extensions everyday. It's not something so unique. And I repeat, he has been average this season. As for how I know Rohr is interested in Nwakali, you don't have to know. I won't say beyond what I have said. Allow the lad make his return in peace b'cos I know how much you have always castigated the lad yourself. So let time do its work. charlesemeka85: 1 Like |

junnyjake: Nobody has mentioned is name is not literal. Nwakali name is mentioned continously on this thread as a prospect band had been continously. This is a player that has done nothing since 2015 yet he was invited to the SE. He is given a lot of undue and undeserved attention here. That's the plain truth it cannot be dressed up, it's plain unjustified favoritism. 3 Likes 1 Share |

I never said you called him better than the listed players or called him the best at Zaragoza. I only asked to tell me that unique thing he will be bringing to the Eagles as a player. I really want you or anyone to please show me that unique thing he brings. That's all. Nwakali only just returned and we dropped a news on it. Nothing about SE invite. Is the news of his return not worth it?? Are you insinuating that we should not report a return for the lad to football after over a year of inactivity. Or is Nwakali now a Ghanaian player that we should not bother with? So what's the noise about Nwakali if not only about his 13 mins cameo debut? Is it wrong to have reported his 13 mins cameo? I am really trying to get your angle here. charlesemeka85: 1 Like |

A lot of folks didn't see this, but these are our best attackers this season according to UEFA league coefficient. All have scored or assisted 10+. 9. Kingsley Onuegbu, Nea Salamis, 348.95 The oldest player on this list, Kingsley has scored 14 times and is currently without a club. 8. Chidera Ejuke, Heerenveen, 421.629 Probably the breakout Nigerian player of the year, a lot of people didn't know Ejuke when in Norway until he blew up in the Eredivise. The flamboyant winger has completed 98 dribbles, the highest in Netherlands and fifth highest in the whole of Europe. But more importantly Ejuke has a eye for goal netting 9 times and providing 4 assists. He is rated as the best left winger in Netherlands. 7. David okereke, Club Brugge, 439.9 Club Brugge are the highest ranked club by UEFA and they have Okereke as their second highest goal scorer. He has provided 9 goals and 2 assists. 6. Sadiq Umar, Partizan Belgrade, 511.75 If it were to be just goal contributions, Sadiq Umar would be first, but weakness of the Serbian League means Umar lies sixth. 12 goals is a lot but 11 assists is exceptional for a striker. To add to that, Umar has the highest goal contribution of any Nigerian this season. 5. Olarenwaju kayode, Gaziantep FK, 519 pts Kayode has provided 6 assists and scored 9 goals across 24 games for the Turkish club. Kayode is on loan from Shakhter Donetsk. 4. Moses Simon, Nantes, 584.8 pts For a side that has scored a paltry 28 goals, it is no small feat that Simon has contributed 10 of those goals. The left attacking midfielder earned himself a four-year contract and won Nantes Player Of the season. 5 goals 5 assists. 3. Cyril Dessers, Heracles, 648.88 Dessers is currently the only Nigerian since Nwankwo Kanu to achieve a perfect 10 rating in a match. This was when he was directly involved in 5 of the 6 goals his team netted against VVV-Venlo, an hat-trick and 2 assists. Dessers was voted as the best striker in Netherlands. He has scored 15 goals and provided 5 assists. 2. Anthony Nwakaeme, Trabzonspor, 657.4 pts For a player that has score at least 10 goals in each of the last 5 seasons, it is surprising that he has managed only one start in the National Team career. Tony has scored 11 goals this season and provided 8 assists. Tony plays as a left attacking midfielder and none of his goals has come from the penalty spot. Tony is the second oldest player on this list yet he has won the most whoscored MOTM (5) and has the highest rating of 7.59 which is the 3rd highest in Turkey. 1. Victor Osimhen, OSC Lille, 1111.12 pts Osimhen has scored 13 goals for lille and layed off 6 assists. What blows the mind is that 9 of those goals has been the first in the matches played. Osimhen who is also the youngest player on this list, won Lille's best player. Osimhen has been involved in 19 of Lille's 35 League goals, a whooping 54.3%. 1 Like |

Anybody knows this guy? Samuel Eduok A position we currently lack depth is the Right Winger spot, especially one who is a natural left footer. We are also bereft of deadball specialists and players who can shoot from distance. But according to WhoScored Samuel Eduok ticks all these boxes, he currently has 9 goals. Although I can't find a single video for him. He played at the U20 WC in 2013 and is 26yrs old.

Okay, that's that on Igbekeme then. You cannot show me the unique thing he brings. So this talk of him is just a distraction from a simple news post on Nwakali's return. Simple. Meanwhile you are really telling me then that a return to football for K.Nwakali at his new side, Huesca does not deserve a mention on this thread. Wow. And it is nothing special to you b'cos you have always insulted the lad so it's no surprise. But to Super Eagles Media Officer, it was something. He couldn't even hide his Joy. And to Rohr, he also took notice and was glad. But you now saying that a Nigerian player who has been working hard to return to the pitch does not deserve a mention when he finally gets his debut after efforts on his part to revive his career at his new side, is quite warped. Is this no longer the Thread for Super Eagles and Nigerian players home and abroad? Hmmm....interesting. charlesemeka85: 1 Like 1 Share |
