Bright Osayi Samuel starts for Fenerbache

Danielnino00:


Napoli can't play the Covid card this time around. Again, if ADL is smart, he should know that Osimhen going to the AFCON, albeit a gamble, could pay off for him. Napoli is shit this season. Going to the AFCON and putting up a monstrous display would help keep Osimhen's market value stable and convince clubs to trigger the release clause in his contract. IMO, winning the APOTY won't be enough.

ADL may not be thinking that way. Let's hope Osimhen will have no issue representing us at AFCON.

humility33:


Iwobi is a better AM. If given the right CM and DM to pair with. Trust me Iwobi will deliver on a good day as an AM.

Pair Iwobi with Ndidi and Alhassan and see if he won't deliver like 30/20 mins to go replace him with either Akpom/Iheancho/Boniface and see if we won't win matches

The talk is not about Iwobi. I think you should go through the posts again.

Tobichimezie:

They got to the 2002 AFCON final and got undone by very corrupt officiating against Cameroon in that infamous PK shoot-out...my point is those 1994-2002 guys always knew how to stand tall and deliver in big moments when we needed them, the only problem with that generation was that they were too individually skilled to the detriment of playing as a TEAM, and most of the players were full of ego. The 2006 ouster against Angola was one of those upsets that happen in football.

Right now, can you point out one single player from this team who can produce a moment of magic when the chips are down?

You see? Misrepresenting facts.

The Afcon you were talking about was the 2000 Afcon where Ikpeba's penalty was Misjudged to be on the line.

So, I ask again, what did those guys achieve from the year 2002 onwards? Don't come at me with some more excuses.

You talk about Ndidi been an AM right?

Lies, they were beaten at the semi finals of 2002 AFCON. The AFCON you are referring to is 2000, not 2002.

They had good coaches, unlike the present ones.

humility33:


The problem is not about elite players. The problem is the coach. Stephen keshi won the AFCON with a squad less in quality than this current super eagles team

They're coaches if given this super eagles team will achieve significant success.

Get your midfield and defense right even Terem Moffi/Akor/Kelechi/Orban/Awoniyi/Sadiq etc will deliver on a good day with the right midfield

Stephen Keshi's AFCON winning team is not less in quality than this present team,far from it.
I can't see players that can stand shoulder to shoulder against players like Enyeama,Mikel and Victor Moses.

Yes,Osimhen is ahead of Emenike,but he got the job done when it mattered most,can Osimhen get the job done? I hope so,only time will tell.
Only if this coach can leave his ego and listen to reason.

Away from all footie matter,
Make somebody put a smile on our face this Christmas Biko 😁😁

not sure the difference in quality is that much. this was the squad that played the final. How many people in the current squad can replace those in this squad without much stress

Samueltemi337:
Ndidi has really improved
Maybe he is just the 10 we are looking for
A midfield trio of Ndidi Iwobi Onyeka

humility33, this is the post. I countered him that there is no more #10/AM in football. The role has been redefined. It has nothing to do with whether Iwobi is a 10 or not.

Joebie:
That Solace guy likes to sound intelligent by blowing grammar. His word usage is pretty awkward

To the issue. His position is misleading, stats and eye test wise.

I agree with you

Damioduso1:
. Yes no injury worries The two Victors Can now prepare for Afcon now . My only fear is the pre afcon friendly matches we going to play against Dr Congo and Burkina Faso in early next before the afcon

Date please

MetalJigsaw:
Date please

Super eagles camp open on January 2 in Dubai. They will come back to Nigeria for send off around January 9 and straight to Cote D'Ivoire on 10th of January for the afcon tournament proper

Samueltemi337:

Which club ready drop €200m way ADL dey find

He had to sign the new contract to input a release clause in the deal and that's the only way he can leave

No

I disagree. His prior contract ran through summer 2025. In January 2025 he could have signed a pre-contract with any other club for a free transfer. He had ALL the leverage with Napoli.

Napoli would have had to sell him in summer 2024 or risk losing him for a free in 6 months essentially.

A €130M release clause is far too much. Kane was in a similar situation where he had 1-yr left on his contract, didn’t sign a new contract and Bayern bought him for €100M. Kane is a much better striker than Osimhen, although a few years older.

Had Osimhen not signed a new contract, I’m sure ADL would have accepted closer to €80-€90M this summer. ADL is greedy but he’s not stupid. Take something rather than nothing.

Base on observation Jose Pasiero starting 11 heading to afcon in January


1. Stanley Nwabali
2 . Osayi Samuel bright
3. Zaidu Sanusi
4. Calvin Bassey.
5. Semi Ajayi
6. Wilfred Ndidi
7. Alex iwobi
8. Kelechi Ihenacho
9. Moses Simon
10. Victor Boniface
11. Victor Osmihen



On my head this will be Jose Pasiero starting 11 heading to afcon

Kog45:
I see it as second division and you will not tell me Ndidi of Championship is better than prime Ndidi in Leicester city.

I think Ndidi has actually improved, despite it being the championship.

Because as a matter of fact the Championship is far stronger than a lot of European top tier divisions. And moreover, there has beeen some notable improvements in his style of play.

All . We don't have pure AM again. In the past, players like Bruno, Odegaard, Mount, Benardo, KDB and even Iwobi would be classified as AMs but not anymore. So forget this AM talk.

Na oversabi dey worry u.😂 Who told you that AMs don't exist anymore?..

MetalJigsaw:
Na oversabi dey worry u.😂 Who told you that AMs don't exist anymore?..

The 10 role is literally dead in the modern game, due to how overloaded the areas 10s operates is.

In a nutshell, in the modern game, most teams set up without a natural 10 role.

Na oversabi dey worry u. Who told you that AMs don't exist anymore?..

You can give an example then.

bro that role is going extinct gradually

Dog🐕🐕, Cat😺😺, monkey 🐒🐒 have forgiven each other.


Pls let's forgive and forget everyone that offend us in this year 2023..........


it's new dawn❤️❤️❤️ Merry Christmas 💃💃💃and

Happy New Year in Advance 🎉🎉🎉🎉. 🎉🎉🎉*

humility33:

His only problem is when we play africa teams he rarely show up.

was actually talking about Solanke

Let us all put out all our differences as we celebrate the birth of our Lord Jesus Christ,
who put on the human form in order for him to demonstrate his gracious love by dying on the calvary cross for the atonement of all our sins.

God's will is for us to know him and accept him as our savior,love our neighbors as we do love ourselves.

Merry Christmas to all of us.
Also flourishing and prosperous new year to come.
Amen.

yes

zicky:
My statement never imply if nwakali is exceptional or not. You made a false statement as regard his wage(being the least paid in his club) and that of the club. I think you should clarify the house where you got those FACTS

I challenge you to say where I said he is least paid in his club Chavez FC.

If you can't then your merry happy 😊 big LIAR.

Are all first division leagues the same.❓

Are all second tier league the same quality ❓

The EPL is the best most competitive league in the world and it's second tier has the highest quality among all second tiers in the world.

If it's widely held and accepted that the Championship is way better than the Scottish premier League, which is rated 10 in Europe.

How good is the Championship 🏆❓

BascoVanVeli:


U do know there are EPL players earning less than 1k a week right?

You do know there are Championship players who have earned over £100k a week.

Amokachi on creativity mode. This match showed the vision and quick thinking of the players. Something seriously lacking in this current set tbh. That Oliseh assist, e sure me that whoever was there after one look up would still be wasting time instead of dropping that Ozil once.

Quite agree. His technical side has moved up a lil. The discipline in Leicester was limiting his other abilities, proving once again that mostly, a player's potential is directly proportional to the manager's style. Doesn't mean they can't or won't be able to do other stuff. I hope we see him on G/A sheets. I also hope our style of play is near modern enough.

Let all these recriminations be put on hold,let's celebrate in peace.
