IDENNAA:



Onyekuru is a winger with a unique style because of his goal scoring abilities. He mostly play to score not to create like old school wingers; you would observe the modern wingers are moulded in a striker--like form. Sala , Chukwueze , Mane , Arjen Robben are all modern wingers who has strikers attribute yet are never the point man.

Aguero is world class and fits the style on Man City who like to keep the ball on the ground. Onyekuru is a potent scorer yet he lacks the complete quality of a 9. If he was a midfielder then it would make some sense becaise you could use him as an inverted 9, like Messi. Being a 9 is just more than slotting goals in.....the stamina to stand your ground and fight brutal defenders who are fixed on you nobi beans. A 9 has more responsibilities




Either old school or modern, wingers are expected to both score and create. Salah is a peculiar case because Firmino spends lots of time outside the 18.
Mane creates and scores, so do Robben and Chukwueze, they have no striking similarities to strikers.

Onyekuru on the other hand plays like Aubameyang, watch this clip below. The coach utilised him as a Shadow Striker.

Well, you may say that again but I think Uzoho got there due to opportunity and not because he's above that level.


Well, Uzoho got there when we were in desperate need for a keeper. These were different times. He has grown in confidence which puts him ahead of these other emerging talents

With a statement on their official website, Belgian First Division A side Cercle Brugge have confirmed the signing of Nigeria-eligible striker Ike Ugbo from Chelsea.

The former England U17 international has joined Cercle Brugge on a season-long loan with an option to buy included into the deal.

This will be his fifth loan spell in three years, having previously played for Scunthorpe United, Milton Keynes Dons, Barnsley and Roda JC.

Commenting on his new signing from Chelsea, Chairman Vincent Goemaere told the club's official website : "With the arrival of Ike Ugbo we are strengthening our line of attack in a targeted manner.

"Ugbo is a sturdy, strong striker who easily found his way to goal last season when he was loaned out to Roda JC.

"That he did not disappoint he can this display this season at Cercle. Welcome Ike! "

Last season, Ugbo registered his name on the scoresheet 13 times in 28 Keuken Kampioen Divisie matches.

Chelsea have informed via their official website that he extended his contract with the club before heading to Cercle Brugge on loan.

Monaco Tribune reviewed Onyekuru's 45 minutes vs AZ Alkmaar and the article is full of expletives.

Always said his best attribute is his movement, one good coach will transform him into a striker.

https://www.monaco-tribune.com/en/2020/08/exciting-onyekuru-gaining-traction-under-kovac-ahead-of-the-new-season/

Five star post. Very impressive write up and I must say a very mind opening read.

Kovac is a man I respect so much and I think the current form of Bayern Munich has a lot to do with him.

Glad that Onyekuru who is one of the LXH (League of Extraordinary Hitmen) is working under a man who played a part in the improved form of Serge Gnabry.

The article highlights the tactical part of the game Kovac wants to see in Onyekuru and I must say, if Onyekuru gets it right, he will be in for an explosive season.

Can't wait to see what happens at Monaco under the tutelage of Niko Kovac.

My money is on PSG.

Maybe we might see Ademola today but whether he plays or not, don't think they can win this one.

Samson Tijani makes debut but Another Tijani scores

Samson Tijani(18) began his Austrian Pro-journey with his debut for loan side, TSV Hartberg.

TSV Hartberg got defeated by Banik Ostrava by a 4-1 scoreline in a preseason friendly.

He played the second 45 mins after TSV Hartberg had changed their entire first XI from the first 45 except one who stayed on till 84 mins.

Samson Tijani is on loan for the 2020/21 season to Austrian Bundesliga side, Hartberg from RB Salzburg.


The Tijani who scored for Banik Ostrava is Mohammed Tijani who repped Nigeria U-20 at the 2019 U-20 WC.


He is the one that Andrewbaba44 and the likes drew inspiration from to start the common phrase...

"NONSENSE AND TIJANI" grin

No, not this Tijani, it was the other U-20 player.
