That was before he got injured.

That injury shook him and his confidence together. He played well in our first game against EQG.

He's not bad.
the penalty he conceded against South Africa in the semis. Frank the tank had a better overall tournament than him. Why is Joe Aribo even included in the squad?

I desperately want to see Lookman and Moses Simon together. Chelle should not sacrifice anyone

Iwobi can always drift to right wing and simon to the left

He's t-second ✅

Top 10 most valuable players for Getafe C.F.
His value will double real soon
It’s a 22 year old here
Transfer market tends to update quarterly
A 22 year old footballer tends to have fresher legs for pace than the average 29 year old
Just be patient, when they update he’d be number 1 on that list
Uche won’t be in Getafe 2 seasons from now
Thé baller will be in a bigger club

🗣️ @alex_crook on Rasmus Højlund:

"I think he’ll move on at the end of the season. There’s interest from Italy. INEOS and Ruben Amorim are not necessarily convinced that he’s the man to lead the line moving forward.

There’s interest from the likes of Napoli, it wouldn’t surprise me if Osimhen comes in the opposite direction."#MUFC [@talkSPORT]

Kanu and Agali were good for us,especially Kanu.
Kanu's intelligence,skills and ingenuity on the pitch were top class for any coach to ignore him because of his height or stature.

Agali was effective and strong on the air.
All these cannot be said about Sadiq as far as Super Eagles is concerned.

Westerhorf,Bonfre Jo and Mujtahida was very right in taking specific consideration in picking their players especially the back four and the midfield.

A well built balanced super eagles back four and midfield stand a better chance of winning a tournament like AFCON and going far in the WC than the lightweight players.



Well said. Agali was tall but not clumsy. It's not the height. It's the clumsiness. Ibrahimovich is tall na. But strong and sturdy.

Push Sadiq, he don fall like sack of potatoes.

Raphael Onyedika Get Pivotal Role In New Super Eagles Midfield Ahead Of World Cup Qualifiers


Club Brugge midfielder Raphael Onyedika has been handed a key role for the Super Eagles when they take on Rwanda on Friday in the 2026 world cup qualifiers, OwnGoalNigeria.com can exclusively reveal.
New coach of the Nigerian team Eric Chelle will be in charge of the team for the first time in Friday’s game, and has already mapped out how the team will play as they go in search of their first win after four games in the qualifiers.




Part of the idea of the new man is to have the team play a possession based football with high pressing from two midfielders higher up the pitch , while a lone defensive midfielder sits and dictate play from deep. That role is said to be for Onyedika.


Chelle watched him interpret the role to perfection playing in the UEFA Champions League for Club Brugge, and he has decided to hand him the same responsibility against Rwanda.


It looks like the duo of Alex Iwobi and Wilfred Ndidi will be the left sided and right sided midfielders respectively, playing very close to the wingers in Moses Simon and Ademola Lookman. They are expected to create an overload with top striker Osimhen in the box when the team attacks.


In defence, a back four of Ola Aina, Bruno Onyemaechi, William Troost-Ekong and Calvin Bassey will sit just in front of Stanley Nwabali who is expected to keep his spot as first choice goalkeeper.

Sadiq was rightly nicknamed zololo in hausa after a camel because of his long neck and lean body frame.
Knew the dude in KD then..

You didn't watch him yourself? He's not bad.

He may not be the best, but he's definitely not the worst.
He's not bad, my point is that he played very well in our first game before his injury which hinder his game time tru the tournament and not that he played very well in several games during Afcon.

Ndidi is no longer the player that he used to be, sadly we have no alternative at the moment
We do in the person of Onyeka but his on the ball qualities are just not impressive for a defensive midfielder.I think that is where Alhassan should come in
