forgiveness: Im shocked that Onyekuru that is still starting is used to downplay what VicMo has done for SE. Anybody should remove VicMo from the equation of SE and we are back to HBP days. Its just that simple. I prefer a VicMo that will create goal chances, miss some too, and make us still feel that our attack is lethal and can punish opponents Than Have an SE just passing back and forth and attack is very very lame and uninspiring. Especially as those Supporters Club dry use their trumpets dey sing "He's a Miracle Working God"!! I don't expect anyone to downplay VicMo's contributions to the SE. He has his annoying side, no doubt.. But contributions wise, the other two still be learners. 3 Likes |

TheLoneCitizen: Onyekuru stats is better but his he better than Zaha? When Onyekuru gets nominated for African footballer of the year, BBC player of year etc like Victor Moses then we can compare. |

daveP: Exactly what I noticed here. Some of them are just trying hard to downplay Vic Moses contributions to the SE but facts on ground doesn't support their claim. Imagine, a two time African footballer of the year nominee in comparison with a player still starting. Very laughable. 3 Likes 1 Share |

mostob:It is as you say. But we should never cos of these newbies that haven't been tested in the national setup, downplay whatever good contributions Vic has in the Afcon we won. I believe we all watched all the matches. Why are many now tryna make it seem like he's a bang average contributor to that Gold? The argument asides I'd prefer someone that makes SE clicks and causes fear to opponents, and have an average club contribution over a player that have great stats at club level but is ineffective in the SE setup. The Musa that gave us 4 important wC goals was ineffective at Leicester... Many would write him off cos of that.... Maybe myself too. But in SE.... 2 Likes |

daveP: There's nothing to downplay It's you guys that are overrating him my guy, Vicmo for SE was far from exceptional he was just there along with the rest Why exactly do you think we need him ahead of the rest of our wingers? |

charlesemeka85: Most of us not wanting them back are on this "paid their dues" table. Guy if we need experience that can play in the XI, Ighalo and VicMo are just that. We don't need experience that will be inspiring from the bench. Na only us wan make players not above 35 to just waka from NT despite good performances. And lemme add I rate Osimhen very highly But he will need an Afcon where he is the top striker to make me rate him above those that have that same top spot at afcon. The physical side of Afcon no be beans. Emenike, VicMo, Ideye, Ighalo, Moses, have tried this waters and have passed the test of coming tops when push comes to shove.... Till then. |

forgiveness: Why ![]() Do they score goals? Do they assists? And the key passes they average in a season? Can you explain why we cannot compare them since they are all Wingers? You cannot compare unproductive players to a productive one |

elunico:Let talents prove their mettle in the NT then we can call it case closed. Osaze equally proved himself and none of these current talents till further notice, come close. The fact is LET them be tested!!!! Only Nacho, Iwobi so far has been tested enough. Till then Talents remains Talent!! Many history abound to prove that. They both may be finished to us, but a Coach might just disagree with our talk by including them. They are definitely not extra luggage, as far as SE is concerned. |

fabyom: You have said it all. How can one forget those brilliant moments Vic Moses changed the game. I could still remember when I watched that match against Ethiopia in a barber's shop in the South East. People were dismayed because of the shambolic display the SE players put up in that match. The only noticeable player on that day was Vic Moses. People don dey vex commot for the salon when they saw the horrible display while others were cursing the players..... Onye beribe...onye ara...etc useless team. Meself follow join. ![]() Suddenly, Vicmo singlehandedly dribbled his way into the penalty box and won us a penalty. See human being begin dance.. ![]() I can't forget. Thanks for bringing it up. ![]() 4 Likes 1 Share |

Tested Proven Reliable is the yardstick.... Provided these haven't faltered, its is still valid. Till then. I'd love a young setup going forward. Even if these two dont get the invite, it's gonna be out of choice rather than form. The Late Keshi did it for the Afcon squad final selections too. |

Pls remind me what the said Ighalo won this season?? play @ a big stage when it matters - Chukwueze, Dennis, Osimhen,Onyekuru to mention a few have all played and scored at either the Europa league or UCL which is the highest level of club football.
