On Sadiq Umar, true. He should be on his way to the Top flight after this season for sure. Darwin Nunez scored 18, I think, at 21 before he left for Benfica. Sadiq's time is fast coming. andrewbaba44: 2 Likes |

Egbon Westerhof also used to drop squad players when needs demanded. Owobokiri that was killing it in Portugal and even scored against South Africa during the 1994 WC qualifier was barely called again but Efan Ekoku that didn't do anything in the SE he took straight to WC. Ugbade that was dropped for Emenalo nko? Clemens too dropped a few notable players during his time but I give it to him he knew how to strike a balance and motivate his players. Keshi in a bid to mold his own team I think picked players based mostly on how loyal they were to him instead of first using ability/talent as a bench mark. Every good coach has an ego but you shouldn't let it blind you from working with the best talents just because they won't bow to you. Kog45: 2 Likes |

chrisooblog:Ahead of a 2017 Africa Cup of Nations qualifier, erstwhile Nigeria coach Stephen Keshi named a squad featuring a few new faces. While most observers were pleased and eager to catch a glimpse of the likes of Kingsley Madu, William Troost-Ekong and Anderson Esiti (quite the mixed bag of debutants, considering what has come after), there was consternation over the inclusion of little-known 19-year-old forward Okechukwu Gabriel. Now, the apoplexy was entirely justifiable, and on its heels suspicion quickly followed. Water FC is an academy run by CEO Nureni Makanjuola, a FIFA and NFF-licensed football intermediary who doubled as the agent of former international Michael Babatunde. It will be recalled that Babatunde, who is now unattached, was a surprise inclusion in the Super Eagles squad to the 2014 World Cup and emerged as a key player, starting two of Nigeria’s four matches in Brazil. 4 Likes 1 Share |

chrisooblog:Good for mentioning Ugbade case.It was painful cos we all thought Nduka would be the first Nigerian to play all FIFA World Cup. I asked Westerhof after some years and he said he wasn't satisfied with Ugbade.He need solid back up for Ben Iroha.Some one recommended Emenalo to him and first training he was better than Ugbade and he gambled with it.Remember Iroha got injured against Bulgaria and Emenalo stood in throughout our other matches. I love Richard Owubokiri so much but Clemens made it cleared to me that Ricky was not his type of striker cos Owubokiri needs delivery from others to perform and his decision on Efan Ekoku was simple he said Efan was very average but still press like Yekini. Westerhof decision on Rufai was simple he said he didn't believe in Rufai until goalkeeper trainer told him that Rufai is the best amongs keepers in camp. 2 Likes |

The first time that chidera ejuke played for Nigeria was when I noticed that he is a baller. Another baller is Frank Onyeka! Sometimes, you just need to watch a player once and make your judgement. Nigeria squad can actually be Good if our coach can select his best players and the right formation. When Ndidi transfer to a big club, onyeka could even be his replacement at Leicester 6 Likes 1 Share |

12large1:I read a post about mikel’s time with Ajax Cape Town. Then coach of the team igesund said that Mikel was only invited for a trial with the South African side and after just 20 minutes of training that the quality the then 16 year old showed on and off the ball was beyond his age which prompted him to abandon the section half way and dashed to the club’s presidents office persuading him to sign mike immediately 16 yr old Mikel was so good that the coaching crew of the team even advised him to move to Europe because he was too good to rot in the PSL Dem no Dey hide talent and it takes just few minutes to notice one.

chrisooblog: Exactly bro So many of us still want Rohr around because the selection is slightly fair bit even though he is poor tactically An ex nigeria midfielder who was based in Germany first told Siasia of Kelvin Akpoguma in his words "the player knows what to do" Just imagine the dubious remarks....as if he is not happy to draft or get to know more about him Sometimes they frown at foreign born players because those kids won't understand the rilly round things they're doing unlike the home grown players who are desperate to shoot out from the system and understand what it means to grease palms 5 Likes 1 Share |

Siasia was still generally good for the SE then. Iheanacho before he was dropped from the 2019 AFCON team had been poor for quite a while. Remember Rohr took him to the world cup in russia even though his club form was poor so to be fair to gernot he was patient with Kelechi during that period Kog45: |
