You lost the bet Forgiveness. You lost it big time. You and Elyte simply lost it on Ujah and Nacho.

Iheanacho performed very well in the EPL in 2019/2020 as a backup striker. He was beyond decent. In all competitions, his stats were very good too.

And Ujah failed to shine in the Bundesliga just as I told you he will.

Both were not average. Infact, None were average. Ujah was below average while Nacho was well above average and had a solid season for a backup striker.

And who is Kayode in this context?? Scoring in Turkey?? What's that please? grin What is Turkey compared to the the EPL? You really are desperate with the way you keep promoting your favorite lads who are still wallowing in the depths of mediocrity. Kayode just returned to Turkey with Sivasspor while lads like Arokodare and Moffi head to better leagues. You are funny.

And Maja scoring in Ligue 1 is commendable but I recall not so long ago, you were berating the credibility of scoring in Ligue 1.

Were you not the one yapping nonsense about Tammy performing in the EPL even insinuating he is better than those doing it in Ligue 1 and insisting Mbappe is yet to perform beyond Ligue 1. Didn't you say Mbappe is yet to show himself in a stronger league? You even stopped short of insinuating that Tammy is better bcoz you know you will be lynched by everyone (everyone except Chelsea fans ofcos) grin. Well, Nacho performed in the EPL in 2019/20 for a backup striker not so? Well, then...case closed. grin

In all, You simply lost the bet on Iheanacho vs Ujah. I said Nacho will have a solid campaign in 2019/2020 and he did. I also said Ujah will not shine in Germany b'cos he is absolutely bang average and would not just improve overnight and Ujah proved me right. He was simply disappointing in Germany. wink


Ujah was below average for sure and had a bad season

But nacho was average despite him having a good season ,we can’t give him above average

Nwobodo is a talented player. If he had gone to the U20 World cup his story would be different by now. His knee injury put off a bunch of clubs but yet here he is.

If it were up to me his first call would have come when he was with Enugu Rangers but that is not how it works. Now, if he performs like I know he will in Turkey that would be a different issue.

Sokari is a good player also, I remember getting made fun of cuz I called him pure gold. This goes to the point our brother the philosopher made. This guy has been putting league winning performances for years now but yet no move to greener pastures. The same happened to Nwobodo wasting away for years in Hungary. Iwobi won't even get a run in the position we are talking about. There is nobody allowed to play that position at a high level. Mikel turned into a dmf. Nacho into striker.
So at the end the players who actually professionally play these positions are at lower levels (not exactly NPFL btw).
It is actually a good idea which nobody is going to go for because we all want our name brand players grin
Sokari is nothing special. Watched him a few times and he isn't better than we have.
Haven't watched Nwobodo that much(i know Goldfish80 is a massive fan of his) but the time i did he played out wide. He's good but he wouldn't make our first 11.
What other playmaker do we have at a lower level that would make our first 11??
Nacho was(is) simply not fit to play as an AM at a high level.
Iwobi while he didn't play as an AM many times still functioned as a wide playmaker at Arsenal especially when Wenger was still around.
4-3-3 is the way to go now anyway so the traditional number 10 is almost becoming obsolete. Even in a 4-2-3-1, the number 10 mostly is a CM who has to be able to drop back to form a 3.
Based on this, how many NPFL/non European league midfielders do we have that would start over Iwobi, Aribo, Etebo, Ejaria and Azeez??

Nacho was above average. Bagged double digits in all competitions alongside 5 assists or so as a backup striker to Vardy. That is definitely above average. What's the crime in being truthful about how good Nacho was last season? Will it kill anyone in here?

And Ujah was definitely below average. No arguments.

So I was right in my predictions ahead of 2019/2020. Finito.

Mendy kept Senegal's first two games at the Afcon. But he suffered a hand injury and the coach switched to Alfred Gomis of Dijon.

So this left Mendy out of the side until the final where he returned to the bench.

Yes. And your opinion doesn't alter the fact Nacho had an above average season indeed. A season that got Rohr's attention and earned him a deserved recall to the NT. Nacho with 10 goals and 4-5 assists in all comps last season as a backup striker, and with less gametime compared to lead striker Vardy, was truly above average in the 19/20 season and nothing can alter that fact.

Okay fine. I get you but "above average" has stratas. "Well above average" is different from "above average" or "slightly above average". For a backup striker bagging double digits in all comps, Nacho was definitely above average no matter how you wanna look at it. If in your admission, he was good last season then how can his season still be tagged average? Don't you know good is better than average? Lol

I will still call it average at least not below average which can be tagged as someone who have a bad season like ujah and some few others

Mehn but CIV do us strong thing shaa. They actually pulled out of the game against us to take on Belgium.

To be honest, Belgium is stronger than we are. But the funny thing too is we are playing Algeria who are also an upgrade on CIV.

And I understand there is more money on offer for CIV in playing Belgium. This is just like Chriskels. Always thinking of the money first.

No wonder he is Ivorian now by citizenship and married to an Ivorian babe and with several Senegalese and Malian concubines.

What do we have? Players who don't play at that position for their club thats what.

Iheanacho wasn't given the chance. They converted him from day one.

U are trying to drag the NPFL into this discussion when nobody as mentioned an NPFL player yet. The fact is we have no true AMF on the team because if we did they would play there for their club even if it was once in a while

And Ujah was definitely below average. No arguments.

So I was right in my predictions ahead of 2019/2020. Finito.

have to agree with Andrew Doc KC had an average season. no question his performance last season to Ujahs is like comparing night and day. yes KC improved last season but it was nothing special that would have wowed many people

Mendy kept Senegal's first two games at the Afcon. But he suffered a hand injury and the coach switched to Alfred Gomis of Dijon.

So this left Mendy out of the side until the final where he returned to the bench.



Ok cool because I thought he might have been that finals keeper

It wowed Rohr. It earned him a NT recall. Nacho was outstanding for Leicester even after the Covid break. So how was his "good season" an average one?? I don't care that you agree with anyone but it doesn't alter the fact that Nacho had an above average season in 2019/2020. You guys are only trying to be conservative with the truth b'cos of the backlash Nacho has gotten in here for the past two seasons before 2019/2020 thus don't wanna appear as one of those who are "hyping". The truth is the truth. Nacho was above average last season. Full Stop!

I hope for double digits too but realistically, let us hope he gets enough game time too. I just want the lad to impress enough to earn a permanent deal. I want to believe he will get chances to show what he can do as he boasts a different style and profile to the other Koln strikers. He is the tallest and most gigantic among them so that could see the coach utilise him as a target man weapon when brought on. Time will tell.

I want 10 goals bro

Ujah was the last naija to score 10 bundesliga goals

I know it’s not easy being as a back up striker to meet such mark

Don't know if that would have made a difference really. Mendy kept goal when Algeria beat them 1-0 in the group stage.
