Danielnino00:


Don't be too sure about the bolded...

Danielnino00:
There are reports going on that Everton are planning to make a bid for Hirving Lozano..

Danielnino00:


You made the first claim at 7:00pm .

Then you denied it at 7:55pm..

Because you denied a statement doesn't mean you never said it..

TheSuperNerd:
Time will tell. Etebo is still a key member of our Super Eagles but his starting place can no longer be guaranteed. He faces a serious fight on his hands.

Danielnino00:


you get it jare..

Football is a team work...one player can put in a lot of efforts, but "singlehandedly" is a strong word!

Na so forgiveness talk say Moses singlehandedly won Nigeria the AFCON and Chelsea the EPL and Europa league

TheSuperNerd:
The bid will fail. Gattuso has already stated he is keeping Lozano and is ready to give the lad a chance to prove himself this season. Alongside Osimhen, Lozano has been one of Napoli's top performers in Preseason and Gattuso sees possibilites with the lad alongside Osimhen, Mertens, and Insigne.

edi287:

Moses Simon is a good free kick taker. I don't know why he doesn't take them for us often.

daveP:
May we talk true joor. He isnt. Simple. If he is, his teammates would always push him to stand over it in dire circumstances. Seniority or not.


The aim now is to have an SE player than Will score 6-8freekicks in a club season from 30yards at most. We can start with that. I personally want this very aspect to become a hot addition to our attack.

Bolowolowo:
Congrats to Etebo

Danielnino00:


You are quite right about that..
But Etebo always find his way into the starting eleven one way or another..

Remeber before the world cup,he was one of the players tipped to be dropped from the final list..I think that uncertainty played a part in his move to Stoke city...last last,he ended the tournament as one of our best players...

On a personal note,I will pick Aribo ahead of him in CM..Etebo should really consider moving back to a more offensive role he was known for before he moved to Europe...

Edopesin:


That's Everton. For a team that uses high press, teams like Man City, Liverpool or Chelsea his defensive actions are not needed if it's not in the final third

Danielnino00:


Score 6-8 freekick in one seaaon? Haha!
That's too much na

BTW,I can't think of any current SE player that take free kicks regularly at their club..
Simon used to do it at Genk though..

BascoVanVeli:


Lewandowski of course but Suarez is like this because he gave everything for Barca. He came back from every injury early and he did all the running for Messi. I am sure he will thrive if he is just allowed to stay up top and be a point man. Still a great finisher

Danielnino00:

I hope so..

But still,Everton aren't done with their transfers yet..I think Ancelloti want to bring in another winger..
Maybe he wants to build his own team his own way.....I hope Iwobi will be part of that team...

Subzero047:
Lewandowski or Suarez?

TheSuperNerd:
Well, yea, Carlo dey vex this transfer window. Three good signings so far. If they indeed want to bring in a winger, then they would have to look elsewhere coz Lozano is already looking primed to feature prominently in Gattuso's new look Napoli.

But again, I really hope they don't follow up this winger talk b'cos that would affect Iwobi. They have Iwobi, Bernard and Walcott. We all know James is sure to start. Richarlison too is a sure starter. Lewin as well when they play a two man attack or when they play Richarlison from the sides. Abeg... I hope they don't bring in a winger.

TheSuperNerd:
Not as one of our best players. He was our best player in Russia. Even ahead of Musa. That's the truth. At Afcon 2019, he was definitely among our top 3 finest too. But right now, there is a revolution going on in the team, new Midfielders with some specific skillsets that gives us upgrades in their roles are emerging and Etebo may find himself on the bench more times going forward than in the first XI.

Anyway, time will tell. As for him moving into an offensive role, let us see where Fatih Terim at Gala plan to play him coz I suspect it would be in midfield. Perhaps he could feature him as an LM. Time will tell.

elunico:


What's wrong with his complexion or yours? It was never of your own making so why feel inferior? You're as black as someone else is white, so what?

TV has turned us to associate our black skin as associated with everything unattractive and it's annoying.

kellycute:
exactly. It is very annoying and nauseating. They be like "u black oo" as if black nor fine lol. The blacker the berry, the sweeter the juice, the darker the flesh, the deeper the root!.

TheSuperNerd:
The next few lists will re-affirm the fact Etebo won't be starting as much games anymore. Aribo is now in and his presence means Etebo won't be a guaranteed starter. Ndidi and Iwobi are guaranteed starters in our midfield as things stand.

With the likes of Ejaria coming in. Onomah to follow in the near future, a Ramon Azeez who can play DM and CM and a rejuvenated Nwakali at Huesca (provided he get games and impresses), Etebo won't have it easy starting games in this next phase of the Super Eagles evolution.

Rohr still rates Etebo and he should be in the list for the upcoming friendlies provided he is fit. That's certain. But believe me when I tell you that Etebo faces a fight for a place. He is not a guaranteed starter anymore.

And that begging to sub him out sometimes... Was in a time when we lacked midfield options. Now, we are seeing Midfielders emerging again.

forgiveness:


The statement was made on August 20th at 7pm but this statement in the snapshot below made on the same August 20th at 7:55pm, was made to correct the statement.

Subzero047:


In their prime would you choose Lewandowski over Suarez?

AndSunGorilla:

It is the sentence construction that nailed Mr. Forgetfulness. Based on what he typed it seems he intended to say VicMo won Europa, epl and singlehandedly won afcon. However, he misplaced the modifiers etc. And in fact how can one person single-handedly win a competition when it's not ping pong or tennis, I tire o.

BascoVanVeli:


He has been one of our best players in 2 straight tournaments. The world cup wasn't even close. He made a silly move by going to stoke before the world cup but whenever he wears green and white he is special.

BascoVanVeli:



If anything Aribo will play as his number and Iwobi will drop. No other midfielder has performed as well when things matter for Rohr. If Etebo starts week in week out for Gala I can guarantee that he will be on the pitch for us and we will be begging that he rests by 90 minutes as always.

chrisooblog:
hmm for me yes you can say he was one of our best players in Russia and Egypt but off the top of your head which moments can you point to during those tournaments will you really say he wowed you? i think etebo's attacking instincts need to be reignited. don't know why rohr hasn't tried him more often in an advanced role in the final third of the pitch

Danielnino00:

Omanambala:


Stop being ignorant, oga. Nwakali has been playing in the pre-season games. What are you on about?

I have never seen you this irrational and you happen to be one of the few guys I hold in high regards in here. May be you have not been paying attention, but digest this https://www.instagram.com/tv/CEpMxOUqTcl/?igshid=1as38gtpxqs8t

That is Nwakali in the no.3 gear, a complete opposite of everything you wrote there
