Re: Sadiq Umar Scores against PSG
How is that foul in the 18 not a penalty? Man that Kid is fast though.

Lacked a bit of close ball control, but when the boy is on, he's a threat to any defense. Many years ago, Wenger referred to Adebayor as "Kanu with pace"...I would say Sadiq fits that bill more. He just lacks a bit of Kanu's ball control...
If Sadiq develops to a degree where he is using his physical and footballing attributes at maximum output, he will be .... himself. He won't be Kanu, or Yekini (RIP) or Agali or even Adebayor, Mboma or Phil Masinga. Yes, Sadiq is tall and lanky, but I don't think his game is patterned on anyone, least of all Kanu. He is a still-physically-developing young man who is at the career stage of trying to figure out how to use his body to maximum effect.
PS: Oh, and Sadiq has been known to head the ball into the net .... not very Kanu-like.

Re: Sadiq Umar Scores against PSG
He is the only big striker we have that can match the hustle and work rate of ideye Brown. If he makes it at Roma then ideye issue is probably toast for the wc if we get past Cameroon.
However, I don't think he is as good as Osihmen at scoring goals. Osihmen has better ball control, better passer and better in the air.

Re: Sadiq Umar Scores against PSG
Sadiq is a gem!
We have been brainwashed by the Premier League that it's the best in the world. Nonsense. It's the best brand

He says that we are currently "brainwashed" into believing that the Premier League is the best competition in the world, and that we are now a long way off dominating the Champions League again.

I think Spain’s by far the best league.

If Sodiq can perform well when the Season starts, definitely he would be called for the Camerounian game..
But on a final advise, Sodiq should bulk up a bit and build muscles, for his height, he is still bullied off the ball..
Ibrahimovic in the making.
He should not be bullyable.
He should also develop a mean streak...a little like Diego Costa's.

Re: Sadiq Umar Scores against PSG
Temper down on the hype. It is pre-season and he is not the only forward that can play for Nigeria. He has a lot to prove. I want to see consistency at a the top fight cub over a 1 year period. After saying that, he should be invited for a friendly. But it is not a must to have him in the SE. He is just a striker. The Eagles need defenders and midfielders.

Nigeria have a glut of good midfielders right now. What SE need is a bonafide centre forward, full backs and goalkeepers.

We don't have good creative midfielders. We have a bunch of forwards playing midfield and a bunch of central/defensive midfielders. Nigeria don't have a Fabregas or Ozil or Alli or Tony kroos or JJ Okocha. Nigeria also lacks good full backs and center backs. Our positions of strength are forwards and goalkeeper. There are a lot of good goalkeepers in the local league. Vince Enyeama can also come back. There is a huge glut of forwards.

Re: Sadiq Umar Scores against PSG
As Gotti noted earlier in the thread, Sadiq is more muscular than he used to be .... so he is likely on some kind of diet or regimen to strengthen his physique. We need such specialized programmes in the Nigerian League, as a lot of league players these days seem to have "regular Joe" physiques, and legs that do not appear able to "bulala" shots.Damunk wrote:chuks69 wrote:I completely agree with this post.

Re: Sadiq Umar Scores against PSG
I think I agree with that. As he gets older I believe he will naturally put on some bulk.The Eagle wrote:As Gotti noted earlier in the thread, Sadiq is more muscular than he used to be .... so he is likely on some kind of diet or regimen to strengthen his physique.

Another thing is I noticed during the Olympics that standing beside some of his teammates, he did not appear to be as tall as thought.
Maybe na my eye but he looks like a 6'4 - 6'5 striker, but is he?

Sadiq joins Torino on loan.
Official – Roma Announce Sadiq Umar Loan Move To Torino Including Loan Clauses
August 16, 2017
As reported by this portal Italian Serie A side Roma has announced the transfer of Nigeria Rio 2016 hero Sadiq Umar to Torino on an initial loan deal for the rest of the season.
The 20 year old Nigerian forward passed his medical with the Turin based Serie A side where he will link up with fellow Nigerian Joel Obi in what will be his second loan spell after spending last season on loan to Bologna.
At Torino he will provide competition for Italian forward Andrea Belloti who scored 26 Serie A goals last season, although the Italian could yet depart the club before the end of the current transfer window.
“Sadiq joins Torino on a temporary deal that runs until 30 June 2018. As part of the agreement, Torino have the option to make the transfer permanent for an agreed fee.
In that case, Roma will retain a counter-option to re-sign the player”, a statement on the website of the club reads.
