Bloody hell how old is KANU?

I cant believe some people are doubting YAK coming back from injury and playing regular-who still has about a year or so before the world cup! He should be fit before next year

You guys are actually including Kanu who is fit cant get regular games,definately past it,
they say David James needs 2 days rest after every game but Kanu needs a week
rest after every 20minutes as a sub!

Kanu should go but as a coach or one oft hose bloody committees the govt pay for!

Disguy, the issue is present continous, right now he is off the boil. If he regains his form of course and thats a big if(http://www.guardian.co.uk/football/2009/sep/25/david-moyes-everton-yakubu-ayegbeni) he will be in the 23, but so also i think will Anichebe who is running him close and gives us other options. Also I have issues with his big man football, poor team contribution consider his manager David Moyes's comments http://www.goal.com/en-gb/news/2558/news/2009/09/29/1530969/everton-boss-david-moyes-asks-yakubu-for-more-contribution.

Once the word If is introduced I would ask the NFF to consider inviting Shola Ameobi, Nedum Onuoha and Dennis Aogo and see what they can contribute, as it is these guys played under 21 football for England and Germany respectively and under the new rules they can play for Nigeria. ( the only issue holding the NFF no egunje for anybody)

If the world cup was to be tomorrow , this are the player i think should go to the world cup. They should drop kanu. No space on the team for him. we go with our best .

he is too old
call up etuhu for oolofinjana,

I think a big chunk of our problem is in who coaches the team in SA. Shuaibu is definately not competent enough.

Present you points on this assertion on this thread and lets see what they are:

https://www.nairaland.com/nigeria/topic-353116.0.html

kai must i chop off olofinjana's legs before they stop calling him up a player that adds nothing to the team and is no where to be found 80% of the time the other 20% he spends making useless runs upfront abeg its better they call up rabiu ibrahim or some other player

For Shuaibu Amodu, I will choose my Team.

For Guus Hiddink, He can choose his Team.

This thing can not be based on Try-by-Error.

You must really know what you are doing b4 you can be relied upon.

For me, I can trust Hiddink's decision more than that of Kalokalo coach.

Some of you know nothing about football but yet you want to comment.

You obviously don't know the difference between defensive and offensive midfield.

Probably he would have needed your help against Slovenia.

Sagamate, u dey mind all these soccer illiterates. Even becomerich yarns more 'soccer sense' than them.

Guus Hiddink ko, Musa Abdullahi ni

Nonsense!

semid4life,

thanks for the ability to know who is Literate or Illiterate with your " Illiterometer"

However, to prove that you are the icon on football matters, bring in your points why Shuaibu is fit for the Job.

However, not only Hiddink is qualified for the Job.

But i think Hiddink's record should be the Minimum.

Thanks for understanding.

I care not for which other layers should be among the list, I am definitely sure Osaze Odemwingie but be the No 1 on the list,

@ Olaolufred

This thread is for the 23 players to take to the world cup and not to debate whether Amodu or some1 else should lead the S.E to the world cup. Drop your 23 players and most likely 1st 11 and lets debate the merits, demerits, formation, tactics, style of play to be adopted in a football match using these players 'Mr I will choose my team for Amodu'.

I'm waiting patiently~~~~~~~?

Let me help you complete your profile as you seem to have missed out something.

Guus Hiddink: Failed to qualify for the WC by not being able to beat Slovenia^{I bolded it} with Russia that has the likes of Arshavin, Pavlyuchenko and Akinfeev.

Amodu's profile is very simple and short.

Shaibu Amodu: Qualified for WC, has only ever lost 1 game in 29 competitive outing as coach of Nigeria.

QUALIFIED WHO?

WITH STATE OF EMERGENCY ON HIM?

DO YOU KNOW THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS DRAFTED INTO PTF WHEN AMODU LOST IDEA?

IT IS DEFINITELY NOT SHUAIBU THAT QUALIFY US FOR WORLD CUP.

GOD MADE US QUALIFY USING PTF, AND NIGERIAN.

IF YOU SAY HE(AMODU) SHOULD GO TO THE W/C
I REST MY CASE.
BUT NEVER YOU COMPLAIN IF HE NEVER WIN A MATCH.
AMODU FANS.

SEMID4LIFE,

WHERE IS YOUR LIST OF 23 PLAYERS?

YOU DIDN'T HAVE ANY.

WHY CAN'T YOU REMOVE THE LOG IN UR EYES

B4 SEEING THE SPECK IN ANOTHER'S EYES.

Ah, I see.

@ Olaolufred
You're obviously one of those 'lazy' Nairalanders who click on the reply button of a thread without reading through the posts of others otherwise you wouldn't have missed my post. FYI, I was the 1st person to drop my 23 man list/starting 11 in response to the thread after Sagamite. Here is the link to the first page of this thread where I posted my list.

https://www.nairaland.com/nigeria/topic-352170.0.html

Just in case, Semid4lyfe is the same person as Semid. I had lost my forum posting privileges as semid4lyfe cos of an altercation in the politics section and I had to resort to posting with my second id -  Semid (I guess you were too blind to see the Semid=Semid4lyfe part). BTW, I just got my posting privileges as semid4lyfe back yesterday.

Enough about me, please, no more 'Obiter dictum', post your list lets see.

Still waiting but rather impatiently this time ~~~~~~?

@ Sagamite,
You dey mind the yeye guy. He's obviously one of those Idumota spareparts dealers who listens to Brilla FM all day & worships Larry Izamoje. Yeye, Shioor.
