You can lie all you want and make up all the sh11ttt you want! Everyone can see through you! This was my statement:maceo4 wrote: The talk is about Oneykuru and you are here telling us he is a bigger deal than Ndidi.
Ndidi did not achieve as much as Onyekuru did in belgium before Ndidi moved to Leicester.
I never mentioned who is or is not a "bigger deal!" Pathological liar! thats what you are! It is a fact that Onyekuru achieved more in Belgium than Ndidi! FACT! Onyekuru scored the most goals in the league.

Re: Henry Onyekuru: The Ace Up Rohrs Sleeve
Dude, your boy Onyekuru can't even start for his useless Belgian team in the champions league and you guys want him to automatically start for the SE. It's so quiet I don't see anybody mentioning about his bench duties but you will come and say he's a bigger deal than Ndidi.

Re: Henry Onyekuru: The Ace Up Rohrs Sleeve
Asinine comparison kai Ayo, you are reaching. Messi's genius is not in question, Barca being at the top of the table can afford to rest him against a team they are better than, Anderletcht a useless Belgian team need to get points and win badly playing against a much better Bayern team so would bring out their big guns, and seems Onyekuru still can't start for such a useless team in such an important game. That is really worrying. What are Rohr and his club coaching seeing that you are missing?Ayo Akinfe wrote:maceo4 wrote:Dude, your boy Onyekuru can't even start for his useless Belgian team in the champions league and you guys want him to automatically start for the SE.

Re: Henry Onyekuru: The Ace Up Rohrs Sleeve
A 19 year old was top scorer in the belgian league last season and is leading the scorers chart this season. He has moved to a premiership club and is attracting interest from big clubs!...And you are here complaining because he started from the bench in a dead rubber game?? If you follow the champions league you would know that Anderlecht is already out.maceo4 wrote:Asinine comparison kai Ayo, you are reaching.

It is just not true that he was rested for the game.
I think it were more tactical reasons why he did not start the game.

Re: Henry Onyekuru: The Ace Up Rohrs Sleeve
Dude, Onyekuru is sh11111t! And thats why he is NOT good enough for Anderletch. Howver, he still performed better than Ndidi in Belgium! FACT!! You can finger yourself all you like, but THERE IS NOTHING YOU CAN DO TO CHANGE THAT FACT!maceo4 wrote:Dude, your boy Onyekuru can't even start for his useless Belgian team in the champions league and you guys want him to automatically start for the SE.

Are you minding these agents, the boy is also not a sure starter in league games, but they will make up all sorts of excuses, they looked to bring him on when they were down and this one is talking about dead rubber game.

Re: Henry Onyekuru: The Ace Up Rohrs Sleeve
After he was dropped for the Belgian Classico against FC Brugge, the Belgian media questioned the Anderlecht coach and his response was that Onyekuru was more focused on making Nigeria's World Cup squad than playing for the club.
I am happy

well, the Coach is a fool if he said that.Dammy wrote:After he was dropped for the Belgian Classico against FC Brugge, the Belgian media questioned the Anderlecht coach and his response was that Onyekuru was more focused on making Nigeria's World Cup squad than playing for the club.
Luckily Onyekuru does not belong to Anderlecht so its not a disaster if he falls out with the coach
I wish him well but from what i have seen Onyekuru does not warrant all the hype.
Other than speed, he does not seem to have the tools to play as a winger(ability to take on defenders and go past them, crossing, passing, assists etc)
which rules him out as an alternative to Moses, Iwobi or Moses Simon
He has a very narrow scope of application namely that of a wide forward. So his competition is Musa and Iheanacho
I dont see any evidence he is better than either player
I agree he has a great goaslcoring record in belgium but that is not proof he can deliver against top tier opposition.
Have you guys heard of Perbet, Harbaoui, Bacca,etc?
These guys have been the top scorers in Belgium too over the last few years
Even Okpala and Okaka have been among the top scorers in Beligium in recent years
Bottom line is Rohr is giving him an appropriate level of opportunity in training to show what he can do.
So let Rohr do his job

Re: Henry Onyekuru: The Ace Up Rohrs Sleeve
If we want to be honest, none of our teams really had the belief that they could win the World Cup. Even the 94 squad has Austin Eguavoen as its weak link and the 98 squad lost Shorunmu and Shakpore.Dammy wrote:Ayo Akinfe wrote:You spoilt your piece by mentioning Forest Gump players Ahmed Musa and Moses Simon.

For the first time we are actually putting together a squad that has promise. From what I can see, our only problem now is this sentimental attachment to old players. Even the NFF has got its act together by agreeing a bonus contract with the players.

Re: Henry Onyekuru: The Ace Up Rohrs Sleeve
Why so much hate for onyekuru? For argument sake or are you in denial? Top scorer last season, 2nd top scorer so far this season, na beans? The era of babatundemessi aka Moses Simon aka Ahmed Musa is over. You have to know how to utilize your brain to play for SE and if you forget sentiments, onyekuru, iwobi, Victor Moses, bazee ( when fit) are our certified wing forwards.

Re: Henry Onyekuru: The Ace Up Rohrs Sleeve
Personally, I never really thought it was a good idea to go to that club. He had conquered Belgium and he needed a loan to somewhere like France or Germany that will challenge him.Dammy wrote:After he was dropped for the Belgian Classico against FC Brugge, the Belgian media questioned the Anderlecht coach and his response was that Onyekuru was more focused on making Nigeria's World Cup squad than playing for the club.
By the way, did Anderlecht change coach? Or does their coach have a say in the players that come in? I ask this because Anderlecht chased Onyekuru for months, and then he turned them down for Everton. Once everyone knew he couldnt get a permit, they chased him again, for a loan. However, when he arrived, the coach didnt seem keen on making him undisputed first choice. So, not sure if the coach wanted him from the beginning.

Several reasons could attribute to why he is not a starter for Anderlecht example his parent club could have stipulated a certain number of games he is allowed play to protect their investment considering the players age. A charge may have to be paid to the parent club if the player exceeds a certain number of appearances. Then again it could be all down to Anderlecht not wishing to feature the player for internal reasons such as the number of foreign players on match day etc etc.
We are all hoping he turns into a world class player as it would be to Nigeria benefit however currently he is it there yet and this World Cup may be too soon for him...... yes he has scored againstno name defenders in Belgium but he failed to score against better defenders in the champions league more importantly in three games for Nigeria he failed to score or provide an assist nearly scoring doesn’t count if we want a striker that nearly scores we should call back brown Ideye.

Re: Henry Onyekuru: The Ace Up Rohrs Sleeve
That's rather crass and uncouth of you to say that. Those boys have always put in their best and made Nigeria proud when called to service.
And all because you have failed woefully as a paid agent in trying to superimpose your boys into the SE.
Shame on you!

Re: Henry Onyekuru: The Ace Up Rohrs Sleeve
A rebuttal to your comment is: why all the mega hype? The boy has been invited to Rohr's SE camp twice and has featured in 3 matches, yet he has failed to convince. But yall still insist on superimposing him on everyone else, at the expense of those who have proven themselves. Is that necessary? If the coach feels he would positively contribute to the betterment of the team, then the coach will make that call. Not you or Ayo Akinfe or any one of Onyekuru's sworn disciples.
And just to be sure and out of nothing better to do, I decided to rewatch the Royal Excelsior Mouscron vs RSC Anderletch game played this past weekend again yesterday evening. Frankly speaking, was not overawed by his 'intelligence' on and off the ball. I didn't see anything that made me believe that Nigeria was missing anything in fielding Simon Moses and/or Ahmed Musa in lieu of Henry Onyekuru. And that is the honest to goodness truth!
Yall need to pipe down on all the mega hype of this kid. Its adding unnecessary pressure on the lad. His coach has inferred that he is more focused on making the SE as opposed to helping RSC Anderletch - which is not good for his career. And this is all because of folks like yourself and Ayo Akinfe with all the silly and unnecessary hype. Let the kid be, please!

I didn't see anything that made me believe that Nigeria was missing anything in fielding Simon Moses and/or Ahmed Musa in lieu of Henry Onyekuru. And that is the honest to goodness truth!
Yall need to pipe down on all the mega hype of this kid. Its adding unnecessary pressure on the lad. His coach has inferred that he is more focused on making the SE as opposed to helping RSC Anderletch - which is not good for his career. And this is all because of folks like yourself and Ayo Akinfe with all the silly and unnecessary hype. Let the kid be, please!

The era of babatundemessi aka Moses Simon aka Ahmed Musa is over. You have to know how to utilize your brain to play for SE and if you forget sentiments, onyekuru, iwobi, Victor Moses, bazee ( when fit) are our certified wing forwards.
