Sir, I know where you're going with that..... Calling him a "kid" gives away "your intentions" already.

**when will all this stop?? Huh?**

Will the "kid" be singled out now?? Coz Oliseh is the one we need to assess not Nacho. Or yeah, you think a Sone Aluko would have "produced magic" without a Mikel behind him huh?

And uhm.... It's "fared" not "faired" **smiles**

Icon4s:


Call it T-fare if you like. The "kid" needs more time to fit into d senior national team set-up. And yes, Sone Aluko would have made more difference.

The attacking midfield prowess was really lacking dat yesterday.We could nt attack directly from d centre. Ighalo was having a difficult time with the swam of defenders around him. We needed a skillful and imposing attacking midfielder to tear down dat resistance.

Oliseh is jst following up with his myopic policy of nt inviting lower league players. Else Aluko should be in dat team. We also need to see Michael Babatunde and Brown Ideye in dat position.

So how d u think d kid faired in d game?

I was earnestly waiting to see him face an African opposition to see how ready he is for the national team. I wish Oliseh had given him more time. Ok, one game may jst nt b enough. Lets see him in d return leg.

OSIMHEN, NWAKALI GET NIGERIA U23 INVITE

Four members of the Golden Eaglets who won the 2015 Fifa U17 World Cup have been invited to the Dream Team VI ahead preparation for Senegal 2015



Nigeria U17’s Victor Osimhen, Kelechi Nwakali, John Lazarus and Udochukwu Anumudu have been called up by coach Samson Siasia to join the Nigeria U23 team ahead of preparations for the 2015 African U23 championship billed for Senegal.

The quartet played key role in the Golden Eaglet’s triumph in Chile where they lifted the Fifa U17 World Cup for a record fifth time after defeating Mali 2-0 in the final.

Having secured the consent of the Nigeria Football Federation, Siasia said their invitation is a reward for hard work and a proof that they can progress to the senior cadre.

"I have been monitoring the progress of these boys while the team was being built by my brother, Emmanuel Amuneke,” said Siasia.

“Don't forget we were in the same hotel and used the same pitch to train and I have been impressed with what I saw them do in Chile, so I think what I just did was rewarding them for a job well done.

"Their invitation is only to tell other players that they too can progress to the senior cadre if they are level headed and keep working on their game.

“For me age is not a factor; if they can give me what I want, then they will be part of my team to Senegal. But they must justify their invitation for no player in my team has automatic shirt,” he concluded.

The players will join the team in Gambia after staying with their families for a week.

Not so great but he went away with some positives. He didn't prove he is a great player but he proved he can play at the level, his touch needs work and he should really focus on that or else it will become an obstacle. He showed great strength as he was the aggressor in most instances. Overall 6 out of 10.

Abeg Siasia Thank you joor..... *smiles*

A coach with guts. Even if they don't make the final squad, you've made a strong statement with this.

Thanks for NOT exhibiting "HE'S NOT THERE YET" Mentality.

If you're good enough then you're old enough. All this "kid" talk is just damn irritating.

The country’s Olympic team cheated death on their way to Gambia for final preparation ahead African U23 Championship
Nigeria U23 team escaped plane crash on their way to Gambia on Sunday morning towards perfecting strategies for the African U23 Championship billed for Senegal.

The Dream Team VI opted for the west African country after their trip to Morocco was cancelled owing to visa issues.

Goal gathered through one of the Nigeria U23 officials as at the time of writing this report that the pilot of the Arik Airline made an emergency landing in Accra, Ghana due to unexpected technical difficulties to the aircraft and has since been left stranded in the Ghana capital.

"Thank God for his goodness and his mercies we escaped plane crash on our way to Gambia, the pilot had to make an emergency landing in Accra we are still in Accra," a senior official of the team told Goal after the incident.

"We are still stranded here and we are yet to get any news from Arik officials.”
The team is likely to depart Accra on Sunday evening after the Nigeria Football Federation might have arranged new travel plans.

This development is very uncalled for. I believe the Club must have been on these players' neck to make such demands.

This is not good for these players career at all. The Olympics present another platform for players to showcase their talents and become more marketable, which could also be for the Clubs' and players' benefit.

This is another evidence that NFPL Clubs are out to sabotage Coach Samson Siasia's ambition of qualifying for the 2016 Olympics simple.

Siasia Drops Enyimba Stars for Indiscipline
[/size]

Enyimba forward Etor Daniel dropped

Nigeria U23 team coach Samson Siasia has wielded th‎e big stick by dropping Kingsley Sokari, Nzube Anaezemba and Daniel Etor for what he termed indiscipline.

The Netherlands 2005 FIFA U20 silver-winning coach said the players were sent packing after they requested to leave the camp to go for their club’s (Enyimba) last NPFL game of the season against Sunshine Stars in Lagos, even after he (Siasia) had told all the players they could not leave camp.

"I feel bad in taking this decision, but discipline must be maintained for us to achieve success in Senegal,” he said.

“All players in camp were told not to leave camp as the team would be traveling this weekend to The Gambia for pre –Championship training, only for these three players to come and ask to be allowed to go play for their club as they wanted to be part of the victory parade. I had no option but to allow them leave and also in the process, leave them out of the team."

What Siasia did is uncalled for. These players have worked and toiled hard for this trophy; a trophy that was through a Marathon of matches. It's unfair to deny them at that hour of victory. He should have made an arrangement to get them there. It would have been a morale booster for the new Champions in the squad.

Something about Nigerian coaches and their inability to man manage players. From Keshi to Manu to Oliseh to Siasia. Badluck group of coaches.

I don't know how and when i started loving you. But i know you are the only person i always dream and care about. I don't even have a second to live without thinking about you. My tongue just get hard when i see you, i can't even express what i always want to tell you. But i just wanna tell to you through this sms I Love You.

BascoVanVeli:


They should have sacked this guy a minute ago he makes no sense. Obviously if they are asking to go their club must be expecting them. Siasia has no respect for the Nigerian league, always complaining that they don't drop everything they are doing and send him their players even when they have tough matches. If I'm not mistaking this was Sokari's first ever trophy a big moment for the young lad and for Siasia to sour it like this makes me sick.
Anyhoo congrats to Enyimba.
