OK. Good to know but are you 100% sure that we have a full squad?

Who would partner Ekong in the Center Back?
Who would play the anchor role (#4 DM)?
What about RB?

I think we're still missing bits and pieces of the team, unless we decide to play people in the wrong positions.
Let's hope I am wrong tho.

Dedebanky85:
If you rate playing in Indonesia, Malaysia, Vietnam and Co. as exports, then kudos to you. Is it by the quantity of the export or the quality? Please look at the main Euro countries , the contingent of each Franco phone countries trumps ours. Is it Belgium, France, Scandanavia, even England, Senegal has a nigger presence than Naija. Is Italy where we have maybe 5. We shoukd accept, Naija players are finding it tough moving to good leagues. Remove our core 30 to 35 players, then you need to start going to obscure places to find Naija players. Even the Turkey we are shouting about, Franco phone countries have a lot of players in Turkish teams.

Joebie:
show me the list in camp now, and I will circle out a handful that we would like to test. Remember we also have Togo friendly if i'm right

Icon79:
True tok.

I think some of these folks should speak with Gabriel Agholanhor.

joseph1013:
Are you sure you know this team?

There is Awazien and Agbo to partner Ekong.

There is Agbo, Mikel and Shehu for DM.

There is Shehu and Tyrone for RB.

Icon79:
Just from the top of my head, here's a rough guess:

Alampasu
Ezenwa
Ekong
Nacho
Henry
Tyronne
Alhassan
Etebo
Odey
Olatubosun
*Musa (in honeymoon mode)
*Mikel (injured)

Meanwhile, my major concern is that we won't have a chance to see the likes of Noah Bazee, Isaac Success, Moses Simon, John Ogu, Osimhen, Ndidi, Kayode, etc.

Problem with parents generally is they always live in the past. Only if some can look to the future and realize their days are not necessarily like ours. Today foreign born players stand a better chance having a long career with Nigeria. You cannot use your judgement of how u were treated by Nigeria in the past, and think your child will experience the same (papa Torunarigha and Lorfa in mind).

Icon79:
Like I said, unless we play folks in the wrong positions. Is Uche Agbo a CB? I know him as a DM, but I can't trust him to play in that position by himself either.

And by the way, Mikel isn't playing. He's just there for moral support, only.

O pari

Joebie:
Check your list, i've highlighted the players we want to see play. Also Uche Agbo, Mikel Agu, and Awaziem. Not forgetting Odey (for those who have been crying foul over his non-invitation before now). Now that's a handful.

Here is my proposed squad based on what we are hearing from the training camp.

Officially confirmed that you don't know this team.

Agbo plays CB/DM. check his profile.

Not John Obi Mikel, but Mikel Agu. There is no Mikel that's in camp for moral support.

Icon79:
What's your formation: 4-4-2?

We are on the cusp of a new era. Even foreigners are beginning to feel the tremors (let me borrow Chrismario's word). The Coach of Corsica said as much too. So if the parents of these boys are blind, na dem sabi. Maybe they need a Dibia to sound it into them. We need all our talents - home grown, foreign born, all. Let's approach, persuade, entice and encourage everyone but who want do yanga, we free am.

This football thing is a tide. One time (as in contemporary times)it was France 98-02, then Spain 2008-2014, currently Germany. It looks like ours has come. Incidentally it has coincided with the auspicious arrival of Rohr to help us manage our usual incompetence small. And then the deal signed by NFF with Aiteo to take care of the bills of our Coaches. Who knows what the soccer gods have decreed. But the omens look good.

Icon79:
I knew that they would quickly get Tammy Abraham entangled in their snare, especially after our NFF officials had stupidly broadcasted to the whole world that they have Tammy in their plans. I won't be surprised if they try to cap him at the senior level as well .... to keep him beyond our reach.

The NFF is populated by a group of daunces

Joebie:
We havn't learned the white man's language. say one thing from one side of their mouth and do another thing.
Is it Tammy and Lorfa begging to represent the UK now?

They said it should be a thing of pride to play for England. But apparently they are pulling a stunt here on Tammy. Anyway if Tammy had earlier ignored Nigeria's interest, I must keep my mouth shut. How do you process the passport of a player that is not interested in playing for Nigeria? Let's hear the truth about Tammy Abraham, because it's not adding up.

tbaba1234:


That is an old news report and has proved untrue because Kayode was invited for the France camp.

Humility017:


I wish I can share the excerpts from Mr ademola...the NFF spokesman statement in that regard.
To be honest...the nff is dominated by a group of non professionals...
uttering such words were wrong...I guess they just wanna give the public the impression that they're working

Bro let's keep it real here, most of those guys are average players.

Humility017:


Lorfa's is an embarrassment for an ex international who once I don't know if he is still one of the top heads in lobi stars management....

so greedy...I tell you he is constantly repeating his son will play for Nigeria wen he clock 23....to play fast game on himself...
he hopes his son get capped by England before he clock that age...otherwise he turns to Nigeria... he wanna play a fast one on us.

for the Hertha Berlin guy....his Dad stance is understandable being that he is on the payroll of the German club...saying otherwise or convincing his son to ditch Germany might cost him....his job.

Joebie:
yes he suggested we are now processing the Nigerian passport of Tammy Abraham (as if Abraham has agreed to represent Nigeria)
mtchewwww

The issue with Chisom's real age is a matter of principle as I was made to understand.
His owner, a pastor and former Rangers player, Austen Igweokolo have a strong conviction that he only takes in players with their real age, that's his policy.

However, at 25 he could still very much play at the top level till age 33 which is about 8years.

An investment you can get 7-8 years of good service cannot be bad investment in my opinion.

safarigirl:
Francophone countries have it easier because France makes sure they have it easier, unlike Britain wey fit no send una

We need to stop comparing ourselves to this Francophone countries, what is the situation of players from Anglophone countries? How many of them are playing in Europe? You call Mali, Senegal and the likes but you forget that the colonialists were different and that is a big factor in moving to Europe.

What does Mali's senior national team look like that we should care where their former U20 and U17 players are plying their trade? The success of a country's age grade team can only be measured by the quality of their senior team in the future.

Joebie:
Check your list, i've highlighted the players we want to see play. Also Uche Agbo, Mikel Agu, and Awaziem. Not forgetting Odey (for those who have been crying foul over his non-invitation before now). Now that's a handful.

Oga saw your line up it is complete nice one, but onyekuru as top nine is not good, he shld swap place with kelechi, kelechi shld b d striker.

The Francophone countries have direct easy express entry from thier local leagues to the French league 1.

The British approach to us is simply abysmal and downright denigration to call a spade a spade I would call it racist.

It's changing a bit eternally for Black African British players but to come from Nigeria NPFL to even League 2 is almost impossible.
