Re: Is Victor Boniface the best Dribbler for the SE?
Ejuke then probably Chukwueze. Simon and Boniface are good dribbles too.

Re: Here we go again: Open camp of SE to local talent-Finidi's first move
If he's the coach of the CHAN team, open camp will help. It could also help with discovering players that could be referred to the U20 amd U23 teams, assuming Finidi talks with those coaches as he should. He may discover 1-3 players for the main SE, but I'm not expecting more than that.

Re: Crystal Palace interested in Raphael Onyedika and Wilfred Ndidi
Doesn't it make more sense for Ndidi to stay at Leicester if they win promotion? Except Palace may be offering more money?

Re: The untouchables..the 33 the best ever
I'm 41 and have been following the SE since about 1990. Do we have another RB that has performed so well at 3 AFCONs? People will name Sofoluwe and Okpala. However, were either of those 2 as consistent as Aina was in the AFCON? Also, Aina played consistently in Serie A and now in the EPL. When are w...

Re: The untouchables..the 33 the best ever
When are we going to start adding Ola Aina as one of our best ever FBs? Personally, I think he's the best RB I've ever seen play for Nigeria. The man has straight up balled at 3 AFCONs now, and can switch effortlessly to either the left or right side of the pitch.

Re: Noni Madueke lost to England too.
He will committ to Nigeria when he hits 24 or 25 and is yet to play for England. That's what many of them do. I would probably do the same if I were in their shoes.

Re: Conceicao, Amunike, Torrent or Buijs
Of the 4, I will go with Concecaio, mainly cause I like the way Cameroun played when he coached them.
I was hoping Finidi would get the nod tho. However, Finidi in the future needs to make better use of his bench.

Re: How would a Vic- Boniface attack work?
Boniface played several times on the left wing for Union St Gilloise. I think he can take some some defensive duties if he's played on the wing. If we are going with a front two, I think I still prefer Osimhen and Lookman. However, if we are playing 3 upfront with just one CF, then I'll play Bonifac...

Re: Preferred Line up Against Mali
Bruno can play LB, LCB, and LWB. He played as a LCB several times for his club last season. Playing him there also adds pace to the back line. With Bassey and Onyeka also out, I'll go with the following lineup: Formation: 3-5-2 Nwabali (GK) Bruno (LCB) Omeruo (CB) Awazeim (RCB) Yusuf (CM/DM) Ndidi (...

Re: Chukwueze scores his first league goal
He really needed that goal. He slid down the pecking order and even Noah Okafor seems to be in the mix on the wings at times ahead of Chuwkueze now. Questions, is there a reason why Chuwkueze is rarely ever played on the left? With Leao playing there, he will probably never be used there at Milan, b...

Re: MILAN WORRIED ABOUT CHUKWUEZE FORM
He has been really poor for Milan lately. What's equally worrying is he has also been poor when playing for the SE. He has his work cut out for him to get back in the starting lineup at Milan. I don't see Milan being patient for much longer.

Re: Benjamin Tiaminu - New SE
From the highlights he looks like a tough tackling defender that can make long passes. Suprised he was invited over Ogbu or Torunarigha. However, we'll see whether he justifies his invitation.

Re: Antonio Concecao - any takers?
His 2021 Cameroun team played good attacking football, tho they were somewhat suspect defensively. They also mainly played 4-4-2. His CV is even less impressive than that of Peseiro, so he kind of falls in the European "journeyman" coach category.

Overall it's a decent squad. Glad to see Osho, Dele-Bashiru, and Tella. Also happy there are 6 midfielders in the squad. Dele-Bashiru is a CM/AM that can also play as a winger. Would have gone with the following instead: Nwobodo or Matthew for Ndidi (Ndidi is just recovering from injury). Ejuke for ...

It will be hard for him to play for a decent team in Europe with the aftermath of this case looming over him. I wonder if he'll have better luck trying to secure a move to Saudi or Qatari league?
