Who em skill epp? Dat is naija for you. If you can dribble you better pass Ronaldinho and Pele.

Kanu Nwankwo was a part time play in his days. Though, he is talented. But bros, em never near those big boys.

I agree. But at what age did he relocate to England?

Joniboi:
Barring any last minute change, head coach of the Nigeria U-23s Samson Siasia has submitted a list of 19 players that will represent Nigeria at the Rio 2016 Olympics.

The list of 19 players has one player in as standby although the name of the player wasn’t mentioned but the move we gathered was done by the coach to make up for any disappointment that could come from any of the expected foreign based in the team.

Daniel Akpeyi
Emmanuel Daniel
Sincere Seth
Kenneth Omeruo
Stanley Amuzie
William Troost Ekong
Saturday Keigo Erimuya
Erhun Obanor
Mikel Obi
Azubuike Okechukwu
Ogenekaro Etebo
Usman Mohammed
Shehu Abdullahi
Stanley Dimgba
Aminu Umar
Imoh Ezekiel
Taiwo Awoniyi
Junior Ajayi
Sadiq Umar

Icon4s:


This honourable forum and other sports sites forced Siasia to include Wilfred Ndidi and Kingsley Madu on the provisional list.

However, Siasia kept to his plans of making sure his boys Amuzie and Azubuike made it to Rio. Hence Madu and Ndidi have been dropped.

TheGoodJoe, can u remember the comment where i stated dat Siasia would drop Ndidi from d squad to ensure his captain Azubuike males it?

Siasia has really taken 180million Nigerians for granted. He does whatever he likes for his selfish gains.

His defense trojans have failed him which is why he has gone for Omeruo and Troost-Ekong.The other players(except Sadiq Umar) have been in his plans all along.

My prediction is we will likely scale through our grp bt any other result we get from then on would b like a bonus.

TheGoodJoe:



We wasted money camping and drawing up lists.

Coach Siasia had his team ready long before the African Championship.

I wish him good luck.

TheGoodJoe:


Bale is Welsh.

TheGoodJoe:


Remember, I said, I prefer. So if you do not like Skillful players, that is you.

I will take Ryan Giggs over Beckham any day.

I will take Neymar over Dele Alli.

I love Suarez, Messi, CR7, over the likes of Gerard, Lampard.

Paul Scholes is one of the best players in the game but I prefer Xavi because Xavi is more skillful.

So you are free to like players who do not rely on brilliance on the ball. It is a personal choice.

TheGoodJoe:


He relocated at four. It is on Wikipedia.

forgiveness:


That's all. Alex-iwobi got his talent from his naija blood. Likewise, other foreign born naija boys. Shikena, l

TheGoodJoe:


There are other factors. It is not just blood. Someone can have the right talents, without the right exposure, he would not show his talent.

Iwobi at a very young age was exposed to bright football. Being a nephew of Jay Jay and playing with Jay Jay at a very young age helped nurture him at a tender age.

The training at Arsenal also helped him grow. However, what I am pointing out is first exposure. This defines a lot about a player.

Iwobi was exposed first to our kind of football, before the English game. So you can spot the difference in his game.

Thiago Alcantara was first exposed to the Brazilian game because of his dad and you see the difference in his game despite spending most of his life in Spain.

forgiveness:


So, at the age of 4 he has started playing football?

forgiveness:





@bolded, is that not what you said? You said the individual talent is hardly there because they were born abroad. Meaning they are English and no longer Nigerians.

Is that not segregation or discrimination?

That was why I asked you these questions.



Now, you said they segregated themselves, right?

Now, can you explain to me why NFF asked or requested only the foreign born players to buy airfare tickets by themselves?

Can you tell us what to call that act? Do you know that the same Ola Aina who pledged to the English team wanted to play for Nigeria just some few weeks ago?

Do you think they have not seen the hand written on the wall?





How many of them? Kelechi Iheanacho, Ahmed Musa and Idion Ighalo, is that all we can offer?

Please don't even mention Victor Moses and Alex Iwobi (can you see as you are shooting yourself on the foot with these ones ) because they're from the same English talents you said 'talents is hardly there.'


Did Kelechi Iheanacho goal ratio nominated him for PFA young player of the year?

Sorry, he was not but Dele Alli and Ross Barkley had been nominated. Dele Alli even won it along with PFA_Team_of_the_Year award.

Has Kelechi Iheanacho come close to that?

Kelechi Iheanacho scored 15 goals last season as expected of a striker but do you know Dele Alli and Ross Barkley scored 10 goals and 8 goals respectively as midfielders.

You said they are not Arsenal materials, right?

Dat one na club?

So, Do you mean Arsenal is better than Liverpool where Sheyi Ojo plays for, ko?


You said no one came close to Odion Ighalo in terms of goals scoring. How many goals em score as a striker? 15 goals.

How many goals Dele Alli and Ross Barkley score as midfielders dis season? 10 and 8 goals respectively.

Does that not show how talented they are?

Apart from Dele Alli whom we persuaded to play for us but declined, the rest are NFF faults. They never approached those boys. Even Keshi been add to the problem with his selective selections of mediocre players.

All I wana say is that, there is nothing bad if we add those boys to our team. It will make us better. That's all.

safarigirl:
bros abeg stop insulting Mikel and 19-year old Awoniyi, kini?

It's okay to not like certain players, but downplaying their impact to justify your dislike is an amateur move. Saying Mikel is useless just exposes your lack of football knowledge

adrainuche:
Yes that is not the original list .... Thank God !!!

ANS is junk news.. lets wait till the list is officially released. If Madu makes the team, it is to sit on the bench for Amuzie..

Take it cool with the poor man nah.. LOl u should'nt have reach it to that extent nw. Easy..!

I apologise to the poor man. The frustrating economy must be getting to him

tbaba1234:
I do not understand the attempt to degrade foreign born players.

The problem with the English national team has never been player quality. The always have world class players..

Bale, ramsey, Allen and much of the fantastic Wales team were groomed in England.

England went throug the qualifiers unbeaten.

Iwobi, Victor moses etc learnt their trade in England. Nigeria had precious little to do with their talent development.

Fact, Dele Alli, Barkley and Alaba would have added quality to the Nigerian set-up. For a Nigerian team that struggles to beat minnows,that quality would have been invaluable.

Is it not the same Nigeria where Onobi became our starting number 4. A Nigeria with no quality right back. We can do with as much quality as we can get and that includes Nigerians born abroad that are willing to play for us.

The local talents are important as well. There is no need for a divide.

Can anyone confirm this news on super sports that Iheanacho have been left out of 32man man city squad for pre season,how true is it?

lakesidepapa:
Have anyone aware that Paul le guen has rejected the SS offer..? He said the NFF is not meetings his terms and condition..

He even said he was not aware about the

Pinnick is a disaster to our football...
