Atleast, for the world to see and judge. So, that they will know he is far ahead of Mathew and Etebor whom some suggest to be on the list.


If Onazi is not picked then we are going to the Olympics just to have fun. We saw what happened at the U20 world cup when met stiff oppositions our midfield collapsed and we were dominated through out.

We need a better and experience midfielders and not the novice paraded on this forum. Mikel Obi is surely not on my list.

Icon4s:


Wilfred Ndidi also plays CB. I am nt ruling Awuziem out I am only saying his chances are slim. I know a coach like Siasia would rather have Segun Oduduwa in that team than Awaziem.

The Kingsley Madu that some of us have mentioned is our best LB has never even beem part of Siasia's plans. He was nt in d Egypt games neither was he also in d Brazil friendly.
Siasia might jst take Amuzie to Rio and drop Madu.

I dnt know Siasia's plans abt Omeruo bc he has never said amything abt him.

Isaac Success is to me one of the most ignored talents we have today. U saw how Manu benched him for a less fancied Awoniyi at the WYC. Since then no U23 invite, no Super Eagles invite.

Moses Simon has nt yet featured in any of Siasia's games. I wont b suprised if he choses Stanley Dimgba and Godwin Savior as his preferred wingers.

I am jst waiting for that controversial final 18 man list.

TheGoodJoe:
For real, Pellegrini needs deliverance. We have a Champions League fixture midweek, we are three goals up at half time. Why not rest Aguero and give Iheanacho a forty-five minutes run.

Iheanacho only gets to play for ten minutes.

Midfielders; this is the most important part of any successful team in the world. So, i will select players based on their utility, talent and experience. I will choose only 5 midfielders.

1) Ogenyi-onazi; He is the most experienced and versatile among the lots. We saw what happened at the world cup when he was substituted, the midfield collapsed immediately and the French had their way. He can play as CM, DMF, AM and RB. With the Lazio man in the midfield, be rest assured he will dominate the middle of the park. He is 23 years. Overaged

2) Alex Iwobi; This lad had his breakthrough this season with Arsenal and he has been a revelation. He is a sure banker to lead the attacking midfielder. Iwobi can also play as a winger. He is 19 years.

3) Azubuike Okechukwu; He was the enginee of the 23 winning team and he was rewarded with the best player of the tournament. However, he's playing regularly for his team in the second tier of Turkish league. He is a DMF and can as well play CM. He is 19 years.


[b][s]4) Abdul Ajagun; Without any contradiction, he is the most experienced and versatile player behind Onazi in the midfield. A winner of NPFL with Dolphins_F.C 2010/2011, winner of Africa under 20 Champion in 2011 and third place in 2013. Participated twice in the U20 World Cup and once in the U17 where he helped to reach the finals in 2009. He scored 12 goals in his 22 appearance for the U20. Later moved to UEFA Champions League finalist and second most Successful club in Superleague Panathinaikos-fc where he helped the club to place second twice behind Olympiacos_F.C(UEFA Champions League last 16 for 6 years) 2013/2014 and 2014/2015 and finally single handedly won the Greece cup in 2013/2014. He has played in the UEFA Champions League in 2015/2016. Ajagun is a natural attacking midfielder who can play as a CMF, RW or LW. He is currently on loan to Levadiakos-fc where he plays regularly as an AM. The team he left in the second position has dropped points and placed third in the Superleague. He is 23 years.[/s][/b]


5) Etebor Ogehnekaro; He was very outstanding during the Olympics qualifiers. He plays in the NPFL and he is currently CAF most promising talent of the year. Plays as an attacking midfielder, second striker, striker and CMF. He is 20 years.


I decided to pick 2 natural attacking midfielder, 2 natural defensive midfielders and a central midfielder.

Yawa go gas.

Why spend so much energy on Ajagun? Abin get no be property.

No Michael Olaitan on your list?

TheSuperNerd:
Hey!!! Bia Nwokem!!! Eh Egbon! Did you enter my library or what??

This is the closest list to mine. The only differences are Oghenekaro Etebo for Ifeanyi Matthew and that "last attack spot" is put as Awoniyi/Imoh Ezekiel/Sadiq Umar/Chikatara in my list.

Ajayi don't stand a chance in my list.


And just like yours, I also put Ndidi as a Midfielder in mine even though he could stand in for any of the Centrebacks also.

This list is wow!!! And is 99.8% exactly mine which I crafted in my alone time two days ago but is yet to show online.

But I have my fears shaa.... My fear is Siasia might not go with several stellar talents on this list.

I hope he proves me wrong.

That is why TheGoodJoe was asking to know if you leaked the research work to terzurum5, now its chrisooblog.

Hmmmmm it seems to me, this your research has got no adequate security. I suspect the gate man/Lab assistant. He can't be trusted. I therefore, recommend his sack ASAP.

TheSuperNerd:
So Sir Forgiveness.... What about your attack? Can't wait to see it.... #smiles

I'm only sure of one name though. *winks*

Wish Siasia sees this thread and check out the various lines of thoughts. We've already done some thinking for him to be honest..... In terms of team selection. But hey! It's his call anyway.... Just hopes he gives us the best.... A squad far far better than the AFCON U-23 Squad... I really hope.

This is where my fear for Rio lies..... In Siasia's final 18 man-squad.

Just pray Siasia does not Keshi his list.

Pellegreedy doesn't rate Iheanacho as high as we do. We saw this coming, we complained earlier on, on this thread. Some of us maintained silence just to be in the good books and probably because we lack the energy for prolonged debate.

Am happy we are coming closer to the reality. The man needs some stroke of the cane to see and think well.

He [Pellegreedy] has made Rashford and Iwobi to still the show and make headlines at the expense of Nacho.

Cc: terzurum5

Thanks supernerd like they say great minds think alike I had compiled my list before I remembered etebo. Like your list I will put him in place of I. Matthew. On onazi he hasn't had a great season plus Siasia not playing him in Alexandria speaks volumes.

Una dey mind bros forgivess? Small time him go do 50 slide power point presentation to justify solanke's inclusion.

TheSuperNerd:
@bolded.... Hmm.... Could Mikel feature in Siasia's plans? Time will tell.....

Will Siasia consider Onazi?? We'll see.... But I don't think so. Besides we got fine talents in Onazi's role @U-23 level.

On my "unseen" list of Siasia's likely 18 that involves 3 overaged players (I have a second list that involves only U-23 players in the final 18), I put Mikel/Onazi in midfield displacing one U-23 player.

But then I told myself this: Siasia just might not consider Onazi.... Why? Well, I just wonder why Onazi never featured ahead of Etebo in Alexandria. So I'm not too hopeful on that (Siasia including Onazi).

If Onazi eventually makes it.... Great!!! If he doesn't, well Siasia would have proved me right.

Even Mikel isn't sure of being one of the two or three overaged Siasia takes to Rio. In 2008, Siasia only took one overaged in Osaze.

Anyway, it's all up to Siasia to decide which "overaged" he wants.
May he choose well and wisely.......

TheSuperNerd:
Today you mean? #smiles

TheSuperNerd:
Even with an Ajagun on your list, he won't start ahead of Iwobi. #fact #smiles

Note: Don't even think it's because he got another MOTM award in the EPL that makes me say so.
Nope..... It's rather based on his all-round AMF attributes/abilities which I've always harped on whenever I saw him in cup games before his Full UCL debut against Barca (was his second UCL app. Following his debut against Bayern) #smiles

And uhmm.... You also put Etebo on your list of 5 midfielders.... Remember? #smiles
So who are the novice-players you refer to? (I'm innocently asking #CrossMyHeart)

And for the records, Abdul-Jaleel Ajagun is a player I really like and rate. So don't get it twisted.

**See you guys at night again** Happy Sunday Y'all..... #smiles

"50 slides powerpoint presentation?" you no go kill person with laughter.

Don't mind him...Sir Forgiveness is always funny. He will soon call for the inclusion of Olarenwaju Kayode in d 18man-list.

tbaba1234:
Another 90 minutes for Ndidi in Genk's 1:0 loss.

This young man has played almost every minute this season for one of the top teams in Belgium. Not many Nigerian players can boast of this, even those in lower leagues.

Another 90 minutes for Otigba too.

forgiveness:



[s]Hahahaa! You 4 carry all the blue crayon wey dey dis world take clear all the record wey dey for soccerway, Wikipedia, google, goal.com etc before i go take you serious.[/s]

Let it be known that no amount of blue ink can erase the records Ajagun had set, is setting and will continue to set.

Playing 28 matches for Panathinaikos-fc and helping them to place 2nd with just 12 points behind Olympiacos_F.C in the 2014/2015 season to you na abin get?

Playing in the 2015/2015 UEFA Champions League for panathinaikos-fc and playing 12 matches with 2 goals for Panathinaikos-fc this season before he was loaned out in January 2016 na abin get for ya eyes?

Continue. But show me who bin get wetin Ajagun get before we go further.

Is it I. Mathew, Usman Mohammed, Azubuike Okechukwu, Obinna Nwobodo, Etebor Ogehnekaro etc? hehehe! I yaff


Olaitan is not a midfielder na. Although, he was but not any more.

He is now a winger or striker.

Check the date of pincture below.

tbaba1234:


Strong list but i do not think Odubanjo should be ahead of Ndidi or Awaziem.

What has Ajagun done this season? A player is only as good as his form.

Ndidi should replace Onazi. Onazi hardly gets games these days.

The attack is very solid.

forgiveness:
After painstackinly selecting the Defenders and midfielders. I will now proceed to selecting the attackers

1) Isaac Success; This is the second season of the Granada star in the Spanish laliga and he has not disappointed with 5 goals and 1 assist this season.
Success will be joining Watford FC for the start of the 2016/17 season. He can play anywhere across the front line. He is 20 years old.


2) Kelechi Iheanacho; This is his first season in professional club football. However, he proved his worth when giving the chance to play. He has 9 goals and some assist to his credit. Plays as a RW, Second striker and Striker. He is 19 years old.



3) Moses Simon; He was a revelation last season with Genk who he helped to win the league for the first time in their history. These season he has garnered more experience by playing and scoring in the Champions League. No doubt, he deserves to make the list. Primarily plays as a left winger, and can as well play as a Striker or second striker. He will be 21 years of age this year.


4) Ezekiel Imoh; Ezekiel Imoh wealth of experience can't be dismissed. Having scored 47 goals in the last 4 seasons in one of the Top 10 European leagues in the world and even went to score in the Europa League this season. He can play as a Striker, Rw and second striker. He is 22 years of age



5) Dominic Solanke; He came to limelight last season with the Chelsea youth team when he helped them to win the FA Youth Cup and UEFA youth league. He even became the top scorer of the UEFA youth league tournament with 12 goals, and because of these, Chelsea rewarded him by promoting him to the first team at the age of 17 and later featured him in last year UEFA Champions League last season making him the youngest debutant for Chelsea in the UEFA Champions League. In his first season in the Eredivisie, he scored 7 goals even though he was out due to injury for 3 month.
Although Solanke prefers playing as a striker, he can also play as a winger on either side and as an attacking midfielder. He is only years old.
