The challenge for Osaze is to see if he can develop himself into a Kaka type of playmaker. If he can do that, he is the ideal replacement for JJ, playing behind the two strikers.

Imagine Osaze, Martins and Utaka all firing salvos. Obviously, we are talking about an era when the team has a proper technical crew that will know how to harness all this talent.

Imagine what would have been the good fortune of some serious players if Chukwu had included them in the ANC squad instead of useless players like Orjinta, Ifeanyi Ekwueme and that Singapore based bobo.

Honestly Osaze has not impressed me lately..he had his golden chance last week and he did not show up..His stock sktrocketed when he had his brace against SA but I am still waiting for him to parlay that into something. I suggest Ajax if the story is true.

Ayo u really want me to start calling names.

The Heffa, Chukwu, tricked Kalu Uche to play for the U-23, and when the guy came back to camp, was told he had no place.

Also, this just shows that VAn Der Vaart is leaving

I guess its Jari Litmanen he is replacing.

What's wrong with Southampton?

Ayo Akinfe · Post by **Ayo Akinfe** » Fri Apr 02, 2004 11:32 am

I for one am not impressed with any of these clubs. Look at how Kaka wernt from Sao Paulo in Brazil straight into the AC Milan starting line up.

Osaze is a lot more exprerienced than Kaka and should be aiming for those kind of heights. We are yet to see Osaze's full repartoire of skills as he is a natural playmaker and I think he can prove to be as talented as Kaka.

By the way, Osaze is also in need of immediate physical development. He needs to develop upper body strength as he gets shoved off the ball too easily.

Nowhere will he get better physical training than in Italy. I would love to see him go to a team like Lazio or Juventus.

Mr Shows · Post by **Mr Shows** » Fri Apr 02, 2004 11:47 am

Ayo,

I don't think Italy is a good idea. I don't think they are patient enough and Osas is in the mould of DB10, Kanu or Henry who all struggled out there. Spain will probably suit him better.

However my favoured choice will be Ajax.

There he will enhance his football education and be allowed to blossom.

The bobo should stay clear on the EPL, outside the top 5 teams everything else is fish and chips football.

In any case, this is a welcome development. The boy has the right attitude and discipline to make it at the top level. JJ and Okocha has already taken a shine to him so his spot in the national team is also secured.

Cheers

Do you know that when JJ was asked who he thinks will be Nigeria's newplaymaker in 2002 when he wanted to retire from international football, he said either Osaze or Obiorah. If a coach like Ancelloti gets hold of Osaze, he will turn him into a new Kaka.

Mr Shows, we can argue about Serie A till kingdom come but the facts remains that certain players have gone there as youngsters and shone like a thousand stars. As you name the failures, na so me too go name the success stories:

Kaka
Crespo
Martins
Batistuta
Taribo

Mr Shows · Post by **Mr Shows** » Fri Apr 02, 2004 12:20 pm

Ay,

Martins has come through the ranks and Taribo was pretty established before he head off to the San Siro.

My view is that Osas is not a finished product and still needs a few more seasons before he gets thrown into the deep end. In Italy I don't think he will be given time to find his feet, unless he is going to join the junior ranks or be loaned out by a club to play in Seria B or C.

In Holland he will have the chance to learn, develop and establish himself all at the same time.

Cheers
