Nice one. Keshi, please pick Uche for the worldcup, the boy is in top form and has now scored 9 goals in 15 matches in La liga. Emenike has scored 8 goals in 16 matches, so right now these two are Nigeria's best strikers. I believe they can play together and if we can get them to gel well then Nigeria will be lethal at the worldcup. I can't wait.

Ike uche 4 world cup!

Nice one from Ike Uche. The competition for spots in the forward dept is going to be fierce. I think Keshi may pick a max of 6 forwards.
They could be Ik Uche, Emenike, Bright Dike, Victor Moses, Ameobi and Musa.

Exactly. I don't want to be Keshi right now. All these strikers who seem to be getting goals at his disposal. At the end of the day, he can't take more than three, maybe four. Plus let's not forget Nsofor and Uche Nwofor.

This guy is really good.Emenike and Uche combination would be deadly.

Yes, indeed, the competition for places up fron in the super eagles team is fierce. Keshi should not make the mistake of taking Ideye Brown. I think 4-4-2 is Nigeria's best formation and I suggest he tries to replicate the formidable attaching team we had in 1994 by picking 8 forwards (2 centre forwards, 2 secondary strikers, 2 right wingers and 2 left wingers) as follows:

Centre Forwards:

(2014): Ikechukwu Uche (Substitute: Bright Dike)

(1994): Yekini (Substitute: Efan Ekoku)


Second Strikers:

(2014): Emenike (Substitute: Shola Ameobi)

(1994): Amokachi (Substitute: Samson Siasia)


Right Wingers:

(2014): Sone Aluko (Substitute: Ahmed Musa)

(1994): Finidi George (Substitute: Victor Ikpeba)


Left Wingers:

(2014): Victor Moses (Substitute: Victor Obinna OR a midfielder)

(1994): Emmanuel Amunike (Substitute: Not sure who would have replaced Amunike if he had been injured or substituted)


I think think the above 2014 forward line would end the goal draught we had at the confederations cup and in some of the African Nations Cup matches, although we won the ANC we didn't seem to score as freely as the 1994 winning squad.

I had been wondering why the guy was missing from the team all the while. I am guessing he was injured or out of form. Ike Uche is a skillful player who has an eye for goal as we have seen with Villarreal this season. Every time I see Musa display his folly on the pitch, my mind goes back to Ik and why he is not in the team. Keshi should give him a chance in the team and he will surely not disappoint.

On a side not, where is Kalu Uche, IK's brother. He seemed descent playing from the midfield in the past. Naija and lack of continuityy.

Keshi explained a while back that he wasn't picking Ike Uche because he had a bad attitude and criticised the team tactics whenever he was left on the bench. Keshi also said explained Ike did not buy into the team ethics of All for One and One for All, in other words he adopted a individualistic attitude. I think we could clearly see from Ike's body language during the nations cup that he wasn't in a good frame of mind because he clearly looked out of sorts, probably because Emenike had taken his place as the main man.

I hope he changes his attitude so Keshi picks him for the world cup because, as Keshi himself said, he is a excellent finisher.

Uche is old and not very quick

his official age is 30

Keshi favours speed

If u think Ike Uche deserved to be called click like.team ik uche return!!

Here we go again. First we wanted Uche in the squad. Then we didn't and now we want him again. Nigerians are never satisfied....
