Odion igalo is not a professional footballer, after signing a contract that spell out that you will not honour international matches, then why come out of retirement and block other players slot.

Remember that he had retired from international football prior to signing that contract. The blame goes to Rohr for recalling him and assuming that, we had a striker issue instead of fixing his midfield

drDoom3:
I think Chidera Ejuke will secure a big money move after this AFCON provided he doesn't get any injuries. The combination of a new coach who appreciates his skill-set, some players in his position who missed out, and his club being on winter break until the end of AFCON could just help him explode into the global scene.

I think the guy is the most talented player I have seen that has been under the radar for so long. It's amazing how well he performs at every club he goes but no bigger club seems to be interested in him. He is someone I feel will do so well in a top league.

If he was a Brazilian, Argentine or Dutch citizen, he would had been at a big club now.

Nwakali is a fine player (no hypes),will prefer him playing deep . but I don't understand why we so much underrate Aribo. Aribo in the final third is deadly, . a midfield of Aribo as AM, nwakali and Ndidi will be lovely. Aribo is very technical and quick with his decision. He will do so well in advance midfield role.

Nwakali, ndidi, onyeka and semi should control that CM and DM position while Aribo and iwobi should compete for that AM position. In your opinion, who should be our Starting AM between aribo and nwakali?

House,Outside nwakali argument, my wife just gave birth to a bouncing baby boy(Bilal)
my first child. Alhamdulillah.

Congratulations bro may he grow in wisdom in Jesus name

All these hype that nwakali is getting, he better back it up during anc because to have 0 goals and 0 assist as an attacking midfielder is atrocious especially as people are referencing him as better than aribo

I was pelted with stones when I said Algeria will win AFCON pre 2019 AFCON it happened,I predicted Ighalo's return it happened,I saw Ndah's imminent call up it happened now I am telling you about a set of certified and known Carpenters

Lmao our starting 11 nor bad sha.. it’s the bench that’s weak…

I wish they can just invite that lil nigga amoo make we enjoy ourselves at this tournament

ChrisKels:
Did you just hear what MAO said concerning Dennis? He was never invited alongside with others, instead Rohr sneaked in his name late after the backlash from fans when the boy started scoring

Exactly. He did what is best for him. The last time mikel attended Olympics against conte wish was the end of his Chelsea career. See how nwakaeme, dessers and akpoguma are treated

Please, does it means that nwakaeme, dessers and amoo are not Nigerians?? They’re the ones that should be invited as replacement.. nna In this life, have connections

At this point, let’s hear the official reason from NFF and watford before making our judgement

yinkeys:
I hope he doesn’t get the call up for World Cup too
We can use other players
Osimhen wants to play but Napoli has refused to let him go
Oh well Nigeria isn’t winning the trophy without its best legs
Egypt’s Salah & Senegal’s Mane will be at the tournament
I don’t understand why players not as big as these guys will be excused
They won’t miss more than 6 club games

Is like you’re mad? How can you blame Dennis when NFF didn’t send his name on time.. none of you lunatic will stop us from witnessing Dennis and osimehn partnership in March at the WCQ. Moses Simon and musa make una enjoy this tournament

dkay51:
So why does the rule not apply to the other clubs that were also sent emails, lets not even go far, why does the rule not apply to his teammate Ekong?

Maybe Dennis name wasn’t listed among NFF original provisional list.. all these are alleged and in the coming days, we will hear more details

dkay51:
So why does the rule not apply to the other clubs that were also sent emails, lets not even go far, why does the rule not apply to his teammate Ekong?

Maybe Dennis name wasn’t included in Rohr original 37 man list

dkay51:
Like they're saying we sent an email late, what of they new invitees are their clubs not being informed just now, please NFF has no fault for this, if other clubs can release their players that are just being invited why should we informing watford weeks ahead?

There are rules and regulations in every form of life. If you fail to obey simple rules that you were aware of, from the on set, it’s on you shawdy

dkay51:
Not everytime blame NFF, if CAF didnt complain that we sent in our list late, why would any club make that complaint and no other club complained o. What's so special about Watford?

Is like you don’t know the FA that you’re dealing with. Go and read about cauker vs ademola lookman case

seankafor:
ranieri is a fool and will get Watford relegated..
How come he didn't resist troost ekong but resisited Dennis from joining us? Abi Dem send them different mails?

I hope the nff punishes whoever thinks he is bigger than eagles by snubbing them in subsequent events

Omo no time for punishment. We must select Dennis and osimehn in our final round of WCQ.

dkay51:
Not everytime blame NFF, if CAF didnt complain that we sent in our list late, why would any club make that complaint and no other club complained o. What's so special about Watford?

So, what legitimate reason do they have to refuse Dennis arrival at Afcon?

Danielnino00:
To perform simple tasks effectively is always a big problem in this country!
After all this, nobody will take responsibility.. Nobody will be fired...
The cycle will continue...

Yes, enough is enough. If we’re going to hire foreign coaches because of lack of competence, foreign administrators has to also be employed.. how can someone possibly forget the deadline to send player invitation?? So, they sent ekong name on time while not sending Dennis name?

Subzero047:
Watford should know they should not be playing Emmanuel Dennis during the period of the Afcon

I think NFF are to be blamed here because they apparently missed the deadline to submit Dennis name

I want to hear Dennis alleged official reason for his exclusion because if it’s because of “late invitation” from the NFF side, someone has to be suspended WTF

lovewins:
Updated Eagles list

Dennis, Osimhen, Shehu, Balogun Out

Olayinka, Onyekuru, Ebuehi, Ajayi in

If these report are true, none of them better not play for their club side during the ANC proper or fifa should sanction them..

Tolulopefinest:
Changes to Super Eagles’ list;

Henry Onyekuru replaces Victor Osimhen (Covid)

Semi Ajayi replaces Leon Balogun (Injury)

Peter Olayinka replaces Emmanuel Dennis (Club issues)

Tyrone Ebuehi replaces Shehu Abdullahi (Injury)

Wow is this real factual or you’re just talking? No Dennis, osimehn??

Subzero047:
Because he is our 'brother' makes him less of a fraud, so you would torelate incompetence from him that you wouldn't torelate from any other coach because he comes from the same place as you? This Eguavoen appointment has exposed many of you

All I am saying is that, don’t call him a “fraud” if you don’t have corroborative or clear evidence. That’s a dangerous language. If you have any evidence that he did fraudulent things, provide such but if not STFU.

humility33:
Just pray this Equeavon does not flop
Because with this tactics you guys are using to defend his lopsided list

A man that spend minutes talk on how the 1994 team plays instead of revealing his own team tactics and approach to games but instead all he was dishing out was westerwolf tactics and team play. Little wonder up till now he still hasn't gotten his UEFA badge...it goes to show how intelligent he is as a coach

I am not worried..been that after afcon he will be replaced and when Pinnick leaves him and Aigbogun will leave with him

Indigenous Coaches always proves the fraud and corrupt nature that have limited their progress all this while
Right in Leicester you will see the Kolou Toure cutting it in coaching same with Yaya Toure in Russia and Frimpong in Switzerland and many other Africa countries ex players but for our ex internationals nothing of such to be attached to them....all they talk when opportune reveal team tactics is to reveal how the 1994 team plays as if the 1994 team won a world cup or even got to the semi finals of the mundial

Keep raising the embers of mediocrity will remind u when the Coach You're busy defending shows how inept he is

Let’s not call our brother a “fraud” without evidence. Personally, I disagree with some of his selections but calling him fraud without any corroborative evidence is wrong.. remember that Keshi used homegrown talent like oboabona and mba ahead of established players like igiebor and yobo and still won an ANC..

Personally, I will rather invite a midfielder as osimehn replacement. Someone like onyedika, nwaobodo or ejaria if he has been cleared instead of another striker/forward. We already have 9 forwards listed aside of osimehn but there isn’t enough midfielders. For example, assuming ndidi or onyeka gets injured or suspended, we would have to select a “listed defender” (shehu or awaziem) as their replacement instead of just inviting a natural Midfilder.

yinkeys:
He is ok
Napoli wants to play Italian mafia with us
He said he’s healthy
World Cup that Nigeria won’t win
I see this squad winning the nations cup if no important player is missing

Think about it bro, it was a serious surgery that happened and we also have many inform strikers. Consequently, we have an all important World Cup qualifier in March that osimehn should be 100% fit..

yinkeys:
So Osimhen isn’t coming
Boya this people no want make we carry trophy ni?

Let him heal properly because we have a more important World Cup qualifier in March to pursue.. ANC winners only receive 4 million

Kog45:
Victor Osimehn need to always calm down in reacting to fans....a twitter user @AbiodunOx out of care asked Osimehn about his covid status but the replied the guy got damn bewilder and spark mixed reactions from users....Victor said go and ask your grandfather.

You have to consider the environment and poverty striken that he grew up on. I actually like his angry spirit and kelechi needs such attitude

semid4lyfe:
The release of the 40 - man provisional list submitted by Rohr to CAF has exposed Eguavoen to be "shady" .

Also, I question his decision making and I feel like Rohr we'll be shocked & disappointed with his team selection.

Personally, I am glad he won't be in charge after the AFCON.

My Oga at the top where have you been boss?? Chai I remember the days that we used to argue back and forth. Anyway, compliments of the season and cheers to a prosperous new year

ChrisKels:
You are a drunk, it is obvious. Did he make the declaration to you, or to your fellow drunk Komekn?

I am going by documented facts while a dullard like you is going by feelings.
NFF included ademola name on the provisional list sent to Caf - Fact not feelings
Eguavoen excluded his name among the 28 man list for out of form players like iwobi, Ahmed musa - Fact

If Dullards like, let them justify such corrupt decisions it’s understandable because that’s a reflection of their life decision

ChrisKels:
Ademola's switch started last month, and he got named with hope that the switch will have come through before the tournament proper. We did same with Moses and Aina during World cup qualifiers. It is no rocket science, so quit ranting

Keep deceiving yourself and accepting mediocrity. Someone that has already declared his intentions to play for Nigeria in over 2 years started his switch last month and NFF thought it’s wise to include a player that started his switch 1 month ago on their 40 man list…. The problem with Nigerians citizen is their absolute tolerance for mediocrity.. NFF are doing everything purposely to justify Ahmed musa and shehu underserved inclusion on the team ahead of the likes of Lookman, Nwakaeme, bassey and akpoguma and we have imbeciles justifying such behavior.. they don’t realize that a winning team is as good as it’s bench…. On current form, Alex iwobi doesn’t deserve to be on SE team ahead of Lookman or nwakaeme let alone Musa..

ChrisKels:
Can we all rest now?


"Ademola's switch has not been completed. I just spoke with him now.

"Ademola loves to play for Nigeria but his switch is taking time". - Amaju Pinnick

Why would you list an uncleared player in your provisional 40 man list and even send it to Caf? Also, in what village does it take over 2/3 years to switch a player nationality? Most of our African counterparts that had made a nationality switch only took few months…
