Sorry Rohr. You actually sound like a man but it's Abraham that choose England over Nigeria. Anyway we many alternatives.

They are needed but they need to accept out call up ASAP.

This is a stale news. The squad had been released on Thursday & it includes both players' name. Today is Saturday & you are dropping this thread now, I'm not impressed!!!

There is hope for tomori but not Abraham....there are too many proven strikers in england!

The problem is once there is a dip in form or a barren period,it would affect Abraham's performance both for club and country!

But that's his decision and we need to respect it and focus more on our grassroot soccer to develop our own future super stars!

puuQ:
They are needed ooo
It's ighalo and Mikel that's not needed

Ighalo and Mikel have both retired.

Some of you should stick to your EPL threads and keep your ignorance out of anything that has to do with our national team

JOHNSONSOLAFUNMI:
Highest goal score in the premier league and Romero that kept Salah at bay is not important also?


Hope we all know the contribution of moses to our nations cup triumph

For the benefit of those who will either not read or not understand, Rohr did not say those players are not needed in the Super Eagles.

He said he has made his immediate plans without considering them because they (the players themselves) are not interested in discussing their international options at the moment.

They are now t even coming... Go ND use and dump our local based players as usual..

Who cares.

Idiot Nigerians... Always wNt to reap where they did not sow..

England have one spot for a number 9 type like Abraham. Other than Kane, who are these proven strikers that play there?

Nigeria need them Mr man
with growing experience at the moment.
tomori is a very good defender and Abraham is a very good striker at form both are playing at top level and with a lot of professional players around them.
which Nigeria players play at top level as them apart from chukwueze and osimhen.

But my Brother, do you observed one thing about Nigeria football federation, they always want to reap where they have not sow. Do they know these guys right from there primary schools days or academy they attended, it is when their Star is now shining, Nigerians now discovered that they are Nigerians by descent o, not by birth o. This is different from moses who was borne on the soil of Nigeria before Boko Haram wahala made him to find himself in U.K.
So, therefore, people should not castigates those guys. Thanks!!!

reportminds:
Gernot Rohr has revealed why he does not need Chelsea duo of Tammy Abraham and Fikayo Tomori are not currently part of his plans.

The 22-year-old striker has enjoyed a good season with Frank Lampard side so far, scoring seven goals in seven games, with only Sergio Aguero managing more in the Premier League.

oga mi, tammy did n0t score seven goals in seven games. He scored seven goals under seven appearances. The Premier League has played 7 games so far. Today making it week 8. Tammy didn't score against Liverpool in week 6, rather it was Kante. Pls, try to get the facts straight, else it'll lo0k like Abraham is overrated.

If you're sure you don't need them.

Somebody should please help me tell Tammy that even Vardy who is better than him has not being guaranteed a place in England team.He still sits on the benched. Tammy should better reset his brain because he needs Nigeria more than Nigeria needs him.

contribution of Sunday mba is importanter.

Without Sunday mba's goals, 2013 trophy would have gone elsewhere

There is vardy and rashford!
abraham is not even 3rd choice!
Well,like i said i wish him well...I just hope he doesn't go the way of gabriel agbonlahor or fashanu!

Rashford does not play 9 for England.

And Abraham is clearly a better goal scorer.

I never castigated abraham or tomori...they have every right to decide where to pitch their tent which i totally respect!
Am only prudent about him accepting an invitation from england knowing fully well that it hasnt worked out well with nigerians who play for the english team!
I admit and accept the fact that the NFF are only interested in already made foreign players whom other national teams spent funds training!
Its just that i feel abraham would have had more opportunities in nigeria than in england...i may wrong!
But lets wait and see!

Rashford is always used as a 9 when harry is out injured!
Lets forget about the sudden form of abraham...once there is a slump or a loss in form,will the english team or chelsea team back abraham by playing him even when he is not scoring goals like he used to?

If those were choices made by both fikayo and Tammy, then we respect it. But truthfully, they'd be a great plus for Nigeria. They could have boosted team play and even FIFA ranking because they represent a top team in Europe. Probably Rohr is just saying those words with some hidden meanings. For a coach to say we dont need Tammy and invites Onuachu.. For him to even say we don't need Fikayo but would invite Balogun, then something is wrong. I wish we won them over though, but either way, that's their choice to make.

How quick are you to forget that Media hype people.
First season of Rashford he was compare to Rinaldo because of the way he came to limelight.
Don't be decieve after two matches Abraham might not be called again.
What england did was to secure alternative not because they need him

that's what people don't understand. Nobody go care if the guy hit all time low. If not for Lampard or the transfer ban, nobody for know either of them. Once Tammy form drop, even England go play Barkley for top striker instead of Tammy.

This is clearly not media hype. Tammy Abraham is scoring the goals...where is the media hype?

In football, it is said that you are only as good as your last game. If he stops scoring do you think even Nigeria will call him up??

Of course he has to make his decision off his current form and self-belief.

So is it Nigeria that will stick with him when he is not scoring?

And btw, Rashford has played that 9 for England like once! And there is very little chance they would play him there while Abraham is available.

we did that for ayegbeni yakubu...we also did it for victor moses even when he was not playing very well or benched at chelsea...one thing i know about our national team is that as long as you are hardworking and dedicated,the fans will make a case for you but thats not the case with the national team of england!
Abraham is an alternative(that can always be discarded when ther is a dip in form) for england but not a first choice....Vardy will always be used ahead of any other striker!

Rohr is also not needed to be honest. He has been a total waste of resources.

Ok
