Kanu Nwankwo Tremendous Overrated by 12large: 3:30am On Jun 03, 2010
EvERYDAY hERE people talk about how overrated mikel is but in real life nobody rates mikel so he is not overrated. but the most overrated nigerian player ever is Kanu. first of all let me say this kanu is not a bad player. the way nigerians rate kanu is just too much, the amount of respect that kanu gets from nigerians is too much, lets clear the air first, kanu is not the most decorated player in africa it is etoo, there is no douth that kanu was good in 1996 but since 2004 till 2010 the guy has been totally useless just look at his goal records


1996–1999 Internazionale 12 (1)
1999–2004 Arsenal 119 (30)
2004–2006 West Bromwich Albion 53 (7)
2006– Portsmouth 101 (17)

for a striker that nigerians loves too much his record is just too poor the guy has played for nigeria from 1994 till 2010 and he has scored only 13 goals and 7 assists in 16 years playing for nigeria, the guy has been relegated twice he scored only 17 goals in 101 games for posmouth. what kind of overrated player is that even when arsenal did a poll to ask "arsenal greatest 50" do you know what happened nigerians hasve a big arsenal fan base all of us voted for kanu then he came 13th we made it seem like if he actually deserved that position in truth it was just nigerians like me that voted for him that high. even english arsenal fans don't rate him that high. how can nigeria just give him too much respect just because of what he did in atlanta 14 years ago other than that kanu have not done shit. he has gone for 6 nations cup and have scored 0 goal, he has gone for 2 world cup and all he did was miss 1on1 with denmark goalkeeper and be useless in the one in 2002. i remember prior to 2006 world cup qualifies how he kept on missing matches on purpose at the end of the day we did not qualify instead of the idiot to retire like okocha he stays. one of the most annoying thing i have heard on this forum is when someone open a thread called "should kanu go to world cup" the response was mad irritating people were saying that we should just take him asaying he has lucky charm, he is experienced and the most annoying ever was the one they said 'we should honour him because of what he has done for us in the past. for all these reason i think kanu is the most overrated nigerian footballer ever he is not a bad player, he was world class 14years ago but since 2004 to 2010 the guy has been useless and should not be taken to world cup, not even as an ambassardor or even as a player he deserves to be dropped. if players like segun odegbami,muda lawal did not retire there might have not been a kanu so old fool kanu please retire now.

@The poster: Kanu has never been relegated twice. Prove me wrong. Why not allow Kanu some space to rest regardless of the fact that Kanu can afford you 500 times.

@poster,
if u are not writing from yaba mental rehabilitation hospital then ur family have decided to let loose a mad man and thereby expose other peoples' to danger.
u are the first embecile to come out in the open to humiliate our great hero.
if ur linenage is not made up of disables, who among u is as good as kanu?
frustration can even lead to madness and ganja is another short cut to madness.
Re: Kanu Nwankwo Tremendous Overrated by AndreUweh(m): 11:42pm On Jun 03, 2010
@the poster and his nonsensical post. In stead of this character assassination, you would have approached Kanu in a more respectful way for your mother's medical bill. He has done it before but not in this manner. Poor boy, the most thing to happen to you here is to apologise to Nigeria's captain. Common, swallow pride and do that speedily.

Hope you are not making comparison with Yakubu and Kanu. shocked

Re: Kanu Nwankwo Tremendous Overrated by 12large: 2:32am On Jun 04, 2010
you guys are not saying something that makes sense. please give me reasons why you say kanu is not overrated instead of calling me names. andre uweh kanu was relegating playing for west brom and kanu was relegated playing for posmout. on kanu resume it says he has won 2 premier league title and 1 uefa cup, but on the real it should only be 1 premier league title, because in the invisibles seasons kanu played only 1game against everton and he did not even receive a medal, in the uefa cup for inter he did not even play he was just squad member with name. he has been a substitute all his life, am not deceived by his 1 world class performance in 20 games that is just too poor for me

Do you know the meaning of overrated? how is Kanu overrated? overrated in what sense that he is not a good player? or that he is not the most decorated West Africa player?are people saying Kanu will win them the world cup? or are they saying he is currently the best player in the world or even Africa? I don't get you. Overrated in what aspect?
Re: Kanu Nwankwo Tremendous Overrated by medjai(m): 6:21am On Jun 04, 2010
After everything Kanu has given to this country both on field and off field, it is very unfair for anybody to denigrate his achievements or relevance in Nigeria's football history. Some of you think its until you score a truck load of goals, you are not relevant, how wrong. Even though Kanu is not the best goal scorer we have, he has always stood out in most of the games in the Green and White of Nigeria thanks to his unrivalled trickery and ingenuity. The same 2004 you said Kanu stopped being useful was when his brilliant pass to John Utaka, gave us victory over Cameroon in the Nations Cup hosted in Tunisia. This same Kanu in 2008 single handedly took Portsmouth to the FA Cup victory scoring a vital goal against Man Utd and supplying the assist in the final for Utaka for them to win the cup. Lagerback selecting Kanu in his final 23 is no mistake, he knows his worth.

I totally agree with the poster, he is overrated and should have retired, he is just lucky and he should have Goodluck as his middle name
Re: Kanu Nwankwo Tremendous Overrated by 12large: 11:40am On Jun 04, 2010
all these awards you people are putting here are rubbish, in most of them he was either a bench warmer or 15minutes player. as a striker you don't get judged by your technique but by how many goals you scored kanu is just overrated. medjaj please what has kanu done for nigeria other than olympics 14 years ago, even obasi and obinna took nigeria to final having a bad midfield. kanu is probably the most slowest and laziest player

Re: Kanu Nwankwo Tremendous Overrated by AndreUweh(m): 12:17pm On Jun 04, 2010
@Poster: I really understand you have health issues. Kanu's West Brom survived relegation on the last day of the league courtesy of Richardson's goal. The following season, the club was relegated and by then, Kanu was already at Portsmouth. Not only is your cranium filled with maggots, your carotid arteries are filled up with maggotic plagues thereby making your blood and brains to be demented.
Re: Kanu Nwankwo Tremendous Overrated by 12large: 12:28pm On Jun 04, 2010
andre uweh just accept it, why would a big club like arsenal let kanu go for free when he was 27, lets get nothing twisted i did not say kanu is a bad player, he was world class but from 2004 till 2010 kanus has been useless am definetly not fooled by 1 world class performance in 20 games thats just too poor

Re: Kanu Nwankwo Tremendous Overrated by 12large: 12:51pm On Jun 04, 2010
i called him an idiot because he acts like one. the old geezer knows that he is not going to contribute anything positive for nigeria in this world cup, then please why not give his place to ike uche or anichebe instead the fool wants to disgrace us at world cup. even nff said that had it been lagerback dropped kanu they would have taken him. this is typical naija mentality young shall not grow. andre uweh you are a born fool for supporting kanu
Re: Kanu Nwankwo Tremendous Overrated by 12large: 12:55pm On Jun 04, 2010
tosind i called him world class on my first post but i still maintain that the idiot is overrated. talking about the goal he scored for posmouth, ordinary tap in with empty posts thats what you call goal, like i said the guy was not a bad player before but since 2004 to 2010 the guy they useless you cannot perform 1 good game in 20 matches and be expected to be hailed
