All attention seem to be on Osimhe,but Chukwueze to me is the real deal.I saw some of the pre season matches and he gladens my heart.Ultimately the SE is the better for it.
Unai Emery is definitely making a great player out of Chukwueze. He has been impressive in all the pre-season games
The signing of Japanese Messi Takefusa kubo who plays in the same position and can also be as mesmerising from real Madrid is definitely making Samu sit up. Let’s how the competition pushes him to do better this season after underwhelming last season.
Hmm…Nice point Drey. I never even thought about Kubo. I know the guy well also and hopefully he will provide a good competition for our Star boy Samu
Please, for any reason we do not need Phillip Billing in our SE now, I learnt he wants to come back, but I do not want him to relegate our Team like he has done Bournemouth and Huddlesfield ooo
apart from ndidi and the recovering onazi we dont have enough DM in our team, etebo though not bad and mikel agu doesnt gives me much promises, if billing comes, mehn he will be highly welcome and usefull to us. meanwhile there is hope for the future looking at the u20 captain tijani samson and arsenal new boy akinola, ig these up coming teanagers grows up to expectations our midfield will just be as solid as aso rock. very optimistic about them
Billing is an overhyped, overrated player, nothing is special about him, he can’t even make the Danish list. Etebo is better than him, if he’s that special, why is it the no club is jostling for his signature? He seems destined for championship
Billing is never welcomed in the Nigeria National Team. Why do we like to make ourselves a subject of ridicule?? Have you forgotten how this guy came out to deny and humiliate us cleanly like we offended his ancestors months ago?? Now he sees that he is not even good enough to make Danish list and now considering Nigeria…Never! We’ll not just ignore him, we’ll also humiliate him to show him we’re bigger than any player.
I will close my eyes and pick TIJANI SAMSON(U-17 Captain), Combative Mikel Agu, A certain IBRAHIM making waves in Sweden over him anytime anyday even Frank Onyeka that won the Best player in FC Midtyland in same Denmark is way better than Billing. Rumour has it that Frank Onyeka is close to completing a move to Bundesliga. That will pave the way for him to the National team. He’s a good Midfielder. So bye bye to Billing if this report is true
Bros don’t worry yourself about DMs in SE, we have one young man that won young best player of the season in swedish league…
A mainstay in his team ‘IFK GOTHERBORG’…..
HIS NAME IS ALHASSAN YUSSUF…
Joe aribo is an all rounder, he can play any position in the midfield. And lets not forget, awaziem, ajayi have all played in that position. Check ajayis video at Rotherham, he played as a DM. Plus we have ramon azeez who may not be as hard as ndidi, but definitely has a much better passing range dan ndidi JUST watch his videos. So super eagles are not lacking DM, what we are lacking is good quality world class creative midfielders.
Iwobi is trying but I think we need to try someone else.
Villareal I believe will do better this new season bcos a lot of young, fast, skillful players are being bought by the team and the older, slower players are being allowed to leave. If chukwueze stays another season I think it will be good for him. I just want him to score more goals , atleast 10 in a season. He does create alot of chances and is the most influential outlet his team has at the moment.
