I think we don't need Moses in the Team anymore. He should the clique of Enyeama and Emenike! He's not willing to sacrifice for the National Team "anymore" hence I don't see a reason for his recall!
I think it's better we build a Team, especially the front line around Captain Musa, Ihenacho, Simon, Iwobi and Ighalo.
My personal opinion though!

TheSuperNerd:
No na...... Haba! We can't just discard players like that.....

Moses wrote and contacted Oliseh and the Nff before he withdrew from those friendlies.......

I know his reasons sound kinda funny (precautionary steps to avoid injury)....... But Oliseh should please give Moses the benefit of a doubt. After all, Moses ended his letter to Oliseh and the Nff with these words, "I will always give my best for the Super Eagles........... "

**something like that**


I believe Oliseh just got to see reason here and put aside his "ego"...... At the 2013 Afcon, Oliseh was a big admirer of Victor Moses when he analysed game after game for the Super Sports Studio.

It's really unfortunate.... But I feel Oliseh should not let Moses go..... Not now..... Not without giving him another chance....

This is about the team taking back her place as Africa's finest........ Victor Moses is still needed in this team... He's not indispensable but his contributions and experience are "super valuable".......

Oliseh should pls wise up and not let his "shaky" man-management skills ruin anything.... Abeg.

Yes he did write the Board and the Coach, but the excuse he gave is weak and flimsy! He couldn't play for his Country, but he could appear for his Club in the following Week?!



The bolded part just confirmed the reason he's not needed in the Team at the moment.



This isn't a matter of ego, rather a matter doing the best for the Country! The era of pampering Players (especially Foreign Players) is over! If you can't give your 100% or honor the Call up at any time..... except with a cogent reason, you ain't needed!
That's just the message the foreign Pros needed to building a better Team for the Country.


I disagree with your submission on the Oliseh's man-management strategy or philosophy.
He's just being blunt, but it's obvious he's doing the job with passion. He's not after the Dollars rather the success of the Team!
Thanks.

Moses lost his parents in Nigeria. Nigerians killed his parents . He was a regular for the English junior sides and had a chance to join the English National team. Despite these, he chose to play for us. He was part of the team that won the Nations Cup.

Now some people want him discarded and are ready to tear Ibe for not choosing to play for Nigeria. We do not respect sacrifice. A hero today is scorned at and we want footballers to sacrifice their careers for Nigeria.

If Moses pleading with the coach to help him cope with his injuries is not enough, then Oliseh is free to discard him.

Will Oliseh tell me he does not know Moses battled with injuries in recent years? Will Oliseh say he did not know that injuries kept him out for a long time?

adeyemi2015:


Don't really know what to say again?!
But this is not gonna help the Country. Ain't you a Nigerian?! Are you accusing yourself of killing is parents?! Or you want someone to be seen as a wicked person?! This isn't the best way to defend, cos it's too emotional and confrontational! Citing the bolded part seems emotional while the italized part seems confrontational!
Thanks!

TheGoodJoe:



What is blunt? That young man has gone through multiple injuries. If Oliseh thinks it is fair to punish him because he pleaded for an exemption from two friendly games, then I wonder how Moses feels now.

When he begged Oliseh, did Moses say he was injured? He is new at West Ham and he is trying to solidify his place there. Remember he is on loan and the coach can easily buy someone to replace him.

Moses begged Keshi and Keshi dropped him from his list. The next Saturday, Moses played for Stoke and injured. It is better he injures playing for West Ham than Nigeria because the club will have an obligation to help him recuperate.

TheGoodJoe:




It is the best way to put it because Oliseh has made it a policy to overlook the sacrifices people make to play for the Super Eagles. Just like Enyeama's case, he came from the burial of his mother.

Enyeama was a grieving son. Oliseh should know he is like a big brother to them.

It took Moses a lot of sacrifice to come back. This should be on Oliseh's mind. How can someone like Moses be tagged as Lazy and unselfish after his selfless sacrifice for Nigeria.

This is Victor Moses. Oliseh should also feel concerned about the young man's career. Oliseh played in Europe and knows how easily one can lose his place. Moses injured at Liverpool and lost his place there.

Oliseh should encourage Moses to miss the friendlies but make sure he comes to camp for the qualifiers. Not punish him for trying to save his career.

adeyemi2015:

Club over Country?!
I understand your point better now!
Nigeria can only use and dumb, and wouldn't be available to help when needed!
The past experience shows you have a point..... but the present NFF Executives meant better for our Players and the Team.
I am not saying Moses should be permanently axed but he should be penalized and made to understand that no one is indispensable.
This will be a lesson to others..... He's just being a scapegoat though, but it's a right decision to warn other foreign Pros!

Tomtoxic:
in as much as I want moses back in the team but that excuse he gave nur hold water all- trying to prevent injury hmm but he ended up playing 4 his club and he is still playing today abi 4 naija we dey chop players leg.

adeyemi2015:

God bless you sir!
I want him in the Team as well, but Oliseh needs to be strict if he really wanna take the Team to the promised land as he wishes!

TheGoodJoe:



Bro. if Moses wrote a letter to the coach, then Oliseh should not penalize him. Oliseh has Moses direct number. Call him and explain to him your stance.

If Oliseh wants to have a strict boss relationship with these players, he should tell Moses. "After this time, I do not care about what is happening to you. If I say come and you do not come, I will penalize you."

Moses might decided to pull out of the National team but this approach will only tear the team and not build it.

Oliseh needs these young men doing well in their clubs. Their development is done mostly in clubs. So jeopardizing Moses chance at West Ham will not help the Super Eagles.

TheGoodJoe:



Let him continue being strict and let us see who will risk themselves for him if they know he would ask them if they make a mistake.

Moses has injured a lot. If any of our top stars injured as regularly as Moses, they would not find it easy making long travels for friendly games.

Moses sacrificed a lot to play for us, he is the wrong player for Oliseh to penalize because he proved his loyalty to us.

adeyemi2015:

What has Oliseh done wrong here?! Somebody pleaded for his exclusion from the National Team to safeguard his Club career and he's given what he asked for! Is that a crime?! If he wants to be back in the Team, he should write the Coach and the Board that; he's fully fit and ready to honor the invitation at anytime!

adeyemi2015:


Please sir! Don't take it personal..... coz this won't help the national Team to grow! Sometimes one has to let go of emotional sentiment to achieve the target goal(s).
I get your point sir, but we need iron hand to reset the Eagles and get them return back to glorious Days!

TheGoodJoe:



It was two friendly games. Friendly games. I want to ask you a simple question. Has Moses injured a lot in recent years?

Do know Kolarov, Silva, Aguero injured on National duties?

adeyemi2015:

Yes they are friendly games, but they were more than friendly matches to Oliseh!
He's building a Team, thus he needs all his Players (the responsible ones that he could build the Team around) to be available for the games.
He doesn't have much time to prepare the Team ahead of the qualifiers (Nations Cup and the World Cup respectively). He got an opportunity to familiarize himself with the Players, to explain his philosophy and tactics to them; to watch them practising it; to make corrections when the needs arise.
And since Moses wasn't part of the Games, he's already lost with the Team's new tactics and philosophy. Oliseh needs Players who are always fit and available for the Call ups at the moment..... sorry to say, that's the only way he can qualify the Team for the two Finals
Thanks

Much respect to Emenike. His maturity is unbelievable and I pray God blesses him and increases him in his career. Emenike will always remain a Super Eagles hero and the Super Eagles will continue to fly higher.

Tomtoxic:
super eagles list for Swaziland is out new invites are hope Akpan,martins,sone aluko,and iheanacho.I just hope victor moses doesn't skip this 1 too b4 oliseh refuses calling him again.
Swaziland here we come

BascoVanVeli:


I don't want it to seem like im always arguing with u but i completely disagree.
First it does not matter what nationality his parent killers were, they were killed by wicked people and it is not only in Nigeria that wicked people exist. Secondly he was actually snubbed by the British and that is wat led to Nigeria being an option.
Last but not least Moses was dead wrong no excuses, what do we see in Europe when a player might be hurt? He shows up, gets checked by the Nat team doctors and then the coach makes the decision if to send him home or play him. He chose not to come so he has to live with Oliseh choosing not to select him. Nigeria is bigger than any one player, this is the same country that gave birth to Yekini and Okocha and they would never have done what Moses did. Moses is one of my favorite players but i was highly upset with him when he didn't show. Oliseh is not as bad as people think i am sure he will invite Moses in the future but as of now i am 100 percent behind him.

Orkpekyandega:

Lack of proper communication could be the reason for most of all these Coach/Player vs Club crises.
Can his Club hold any player that plays for Countries like England, Germany, Italy, e.t.c?
To me the best option for Oliseh is just to find capable replacements for all our shakara foreign pros, so as to put a stop to the notion that national team is a place to revive players' dead football Careers.
