Syenite: The following guys should be given a fair chance:

Sydney Sam,
Victor Anichebe,
Obafemi Martins,
Shola Ameobi,
Taiye Taiwo
Joel Obi,
Obinna Nsofor
Sonne Aluko.


People that should not come near the national team for now:
Osaze Odemwingie,
Dele Ayenugba
Yakubu Aiyegbeni,
Sani Keita,
Danny Shittu,
Chinedu Ogbuike

slex: plzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz aluko should not be considered at all.

floriana:
Aluko is currently the best yoruba player. He should be in the team so as not to violate the federal character provision of our constitution. Keshi could end up in jail for breach of the constitution.

sol2galay:


Osaze has never been a chance converter instead he is a waster of begging scoring chances...,he is just being over rated because he is a fine boy.

honeric01:

, since you have been using federal character, how many nations cup did you win with such "arrangement"?

floriana:
The answer is NONE. But which is better: winning silverwares or respecting our constitution?

marshaldollz: Seems u guyz have forgotten about David Alaba who plays for Bayern Munich,EVERY CHELSEA fan could still remember the threat he posed to the team at the finals,to me I think Sydney Sam or David Alaba,I saw what David Alaba posted on tweeter congratulating Nigeria,dis is to tell u,he wants some action in the national team.David Alaba or Sam Sydney

Kc3000: Nna mehn, una wan scatter nice squad wey Keshi assemble. Keep the core of the team intact, but there's still room for improvement. Osaze(clearly a head case) and Anichebe would add more bite to attack, and Joel Obi would be a good addition to midfield. Everybody else should forget about it for now.

gen2briz: I suggest me myself

Ichiddy:
mteeeeeeeew

Olalekan 0: Obafemi Martins is one player who has played for the champions of Italy,Germany,Russia,Newcastle of England and has scored an avalance of goals for all these clubs and the Nigerian national team in addition to the fact that he's never had any run-ins with any of eagles' handlers. I wonder why he gets ignored by recent national team coaches,is it because he's a gentleman,respectful,belongs to no clique and has no clout?

honeric01:

stop dreaming, sidney sam just like denis aogo cant and wont play for Nigeria, they've both turned down Nigeria before and they're in no way related to Nigeria except their names and one of their parents. They don't even speak english nor their nigerian language. Never been to Nigeria either.

El Guapo:

Well, tel me that Prince Boateng have been to Kumasi before playing for Ghana Or that Alaba can Speak Polish/Austria before Playing for Austria Or Ozil had a German name before Playing for Germany.

Keshi has Spoken with Sydney am Sure, and made known to him the Plans he's got for Nigeria which he [Sam] is an Integral part of, the Kid has got till Season end to Say 'Yes' which i know he would.

Man, Nigeria are tryna even help Sydney, he knows too well that he's got no bizness with the Germans, unless Gotze, Reus, Schurrle, Podolski, Ozil, Muller and Many More are Killed Overnite!

honeric01:

Now this is funny.
Boateng (Prince) have been to Kumasi countless times before playing for Ghana.
Alaba even plays for Austria, he speaks German. (no language like austria/polish.
Ozil speaks German, was born in Germany to Turkish parents.

Sydney didn't honor the invitation letter he was sent nor did he reply. He does not need to play for Germany before turning down Nigeria just like Agbolahor. not everyone wants to play for the national team. he's known as a German footballer.

El Guapo:

Well, present an Evidence that Boateng has been Visiting Ghana countless times before Playing for them.
Does the name 'Mezut Ozil' in anyway sound German?
Alaba could be fluent in Speaking the German Language cos he's stayed in Germany for a Long while.

Am Suming all this Up to correct ur conception that One must be too attached to a Country before Playing for them with Regards to ur post that 'Sam is yet to Visit Nigeria and doesn't even Speak English'

The Chances that he would Dorn the Green & White Jersey is very wide - He's known as a German footballer that never played for Germany, aint that just Silly enough?

Austine.E:

i wonder why you are sweating over this issue,Sydney Sam has declared interest to play for Nigeria even before the just concluded AFCON but it will take a little time to clear himself from FIFA and then get the needed approval,since he played for Germany in youth competitions..i can assure you that the paper work is already with FIFA,so pls dont 'work-up' yourself!you ve your google to help you.

12large1: Haruna lukman. Sunday MBA can pop up and score goals but he has so far put up a ghost performance he should be a back up for haruna

Sidney sam. Hands down will walk into our starting 11

Joel obi. Onazi is a good player but Joel is a better version of onazi

Sone aluko. Another good player will add depth to bench

Leon balogun. A great rightback still confused about Ambrose if he can perform like he did at nc then no but if not Leon balogun. Over our best 11 should be

Enyeama

Ambrose
Egueke
Oboabona
Echijile


Mikel
Joel
Haruna


Sidney sam
Emmanuel emenike
Victor Moses

This team is as good as eagles of 1994 take it to the bank even our second 11 is strong


Ejide

Balogun
Omeruo
Yobo
Taiwo


Onazi
Ogude
MBA/Nosa


Aluko

honeric01:

At least do some research before jumping the gun.

Ozil was born in German but to TURKISH parents (i wrote this before but you didn't comprehend.) he speaks German and that's his first language.
Alaba is not even german, rather he plays for Austria. (do your own research)

Sam has been playing for Germany since 2010 (U21).

He doesn't have any direct affiliation to Nigeria except that one of his parents is a Nigeria and he turned down an invitation by the NFF sometimes last year.

I can't shout. google is your friend.

El Guapo:

Before Jumping the gun? U've got to Convince me that u're making Sense with all the Myopic facts u're Coming up with, a call for Citation isin't a bad Idea mate!

Cite where it was Noted that Boateng has been Visiting Ghana on Countless Occassions before playing for the Black stars and Sam ruling Out playing for Nigeria, i would allow u do a little of Plagiarism Jxt to help

naijaspeak:



You are wrong. Osaze is one of Nigerian greatest footballer of our time. Forget about the fact that he is outspoken. He is the kind that always want to speak is heart out whenever there is injustice in the national team. This is one of the character of a modern footballer. even in foreign club such as manchester united, chelsea, stoke, newcastle united etc players speak out their feeling when they see wrong going on. So Osaze behaviour should not be seen as strange. forget about the fact that he fell out with Shaibu Amodu, Samson Siasia, and more lately Stephen Keshi.

To me, Keshi as not been truely tested, and I know in the coming competition we will know how truly competent he is. Remember he was a failure in Mali and Togo as a national coach.

I rest my case, bye
