Nigerians don’t know good players anymore. We have been deprived of quality for a long time so any glimpse of “quality”, we start to scream world class or special talent. Give me the Ghanaian Mohammed Kudus of Ajax and I will tell you we have a special talent. That is a player and a half.
What's the difference between Mohammed Kudus and Ejuke, both are dribbling wizards with electric pace and about the same end product, only difference is Kudus has gotten more chances with the national team than Ejuke... when last did Kudus feature in a game for Ajax since he got back from injury? Nobody is saying Ejuke is world class, he's far from that at the moment and any rational fan can easily see that, but the lad is doing very well at his club and bagging player awards every season despite been new to the Russian league, we can even argue he's too good for that league... abeg make we hear word...

You want hear word? Ejuke is doing well at his club, no doubt. But I don't see him as a special talent. On the other hand, I see Kudus as a special talent. At 21 (2 years younger than Ejuke), his overall play is on a higher level, especially his team play. My opinion. You don't have to agree.

What has Kudus age got to do with the argument? and what "higher level" is he playing at compared to Ejuke? You mean by riding the bench at Ajax? I deal with facts and figures not FEELINGS, present the stats for both players right on current form and that should answer all the questions...Kudus is a superb talent no doubt and he's one player from the Ghanaian team I dread to face aside from Partey...but to suggest he's better than Ejuke without presenting your facts is just borderline emotional conjectures. Kudus should prove his mettle at Ajax first, then we can begin to have that conversation.

I agree Kudus is a baller
definately better than EJuke atm.
The fact you're trying to compare an AM with a LW is ridiculous

Stop disgracing yourself dude... Ejuke is a natural playing LW while Kudus is a pure CAM... does the comparison even make any sense to you?

Sometimes I wonder how CE defines and rate talent, Whether forumers understand that not every talent fits every team.
Chidera came off the bench, couples times he dribbles multiple opposition players and lost control of himself and the ball,
plus showing no intention of passing the ball each time, and now he is being hailed as the second coming of Okocha, with
someone describing his efforts as Messi-like.
Maybe some will term these accolades as encouragements, but for me this is how CE overhypes players them come here to
lament and curse when our over-hyped talents fail to succeed in competition.
Team-play involves players playing to coaching instructions and showing cohesive tactical discipline. I would like anyone
to inform on whether what Chidera displayed during his time on that pitch was a coaching suggestion.
That last roll of the ball was the sweetest part of that sequence for me. It was smooth, intelligent, necessary and gave him the last bit of space he needed.

Did you read this before going on your masturbatory rant or you just wanted to hear yourself rant?
But all of that talent is wasted if Ejuke does not learn to look up and give the killer final pass a la Maradona or the killer knockout punch a la Messi.

Now if only this lad had the decision making in the final third! Guys we have a gem on our hands.
I had observed on Twitter that he reminds me of when JayJay Okocha burst on the scene in 1993 with the scintillating display against Algeria in Lagos. We have a gem on our hands. He made the Eredivisie Team of the season for 2019-20 before getting the transfer to Russia. He's won player of the month for two months in a row. He has awesome dribbling ability, is difficult to bring down and can hold the ball very well. He'll create chances from almost nothing(in the CAR match clip, he created one for Osimhen), and he can also score the goal when called upon. I believe he should be our creative midfielder and can be adapted to that role. Imagine him playing with a formation that has Osimhen, Chukwueze and Lookman in attack.

Hana...... we have good reason to be stoked about this boy, he's truly a potential generational talent that we've been starved of for so long. Remember, after JJ and Kanu retired, our most creative player was Mikel for 10 yrs. I'm on the overhype train for sure, he can only get better.

nobody complained when Ronaldinho, Neymar, etc were serving joga bonito...trust bad-belle Nigerians to come ut shouting this and that. We looked clueless vs CAR, when Ejuke came on CAR were all pushed back.. he will improve and can only get better. a good coach will utilize his talents to the benefits of the team
