I can’t really think of any other player that suffers on-off fitness like him.
Maybe Onyekachi Apam and Chinedu Obasi.
He needs to leave that Italian league the defenders there are too hard

Re: Lookman and Boniface: Focusing on SE output.....

Both Victor Boniface and Ademola Lookman have both taken Europe by storm wearing their club shirts. That clearly puts them in the running for AFOY. In my opinion, and given criteria used by CAF they are both going to be top contenders. My personal opinion is that CAF should not be using performance...

Re: TEAM LIST OUT FOR WORLD CUP QUALIFIERS.

I'm glad the era of Musa is finally over. Are u sure about that ? Apparently Finidi mentioned him as captain. Until Musa does not .magically appear on a tournament squad, we cannot say his wra is over. To be fair Finidi didn't outrightly mention Musa as captain, infact you could deduce from his res...

Re: Why Boniface is critical v RSA

It’s simple, no need to over complicated things, just figure out a way to play the two Victors and Lookman with Iwobi behind them, that's all Finidi needs to focus on. Pesseiro did a good job, he just needs to tweak the team a bit. I would play Ndidi and Frank behind Iwobi, the rest should remain th...

the responses so far are exactly why we need a coach that counters the Nigerian element of oddities.
