It's not, there are exceptions. Dele Alli joined Tottenham from a league 1 side and immediately became a starter. Some players are that good


SO the 3 lions call him up when he was in League one with MK DON?

How I wish this to be true

If this is true it is somewhat DISSAPOINTING but not TOTALLY.

Selection to the SE has to be for the most outstanding consistent top players of Nigerian origin in thier club and league.

UNDOUBTEDLY without question Ademola, Tosin and Ovie bring immediate top quality to the team and could easily cancel out any existing players in those positions.

However, l really do not know what Seyi is doing there, for me he has not been outstanding, Jordan Torunarigha according to Whoscored has only played 6 games all season, sorry not good enough.

Nathan Tella is the same done nothing of substance 6 games or so in the EPL. Sorry not good enough.

Noni Madueke has not played regularly enough to be outstanding as well ,he couldn't cut it at Tottenham youth level and went not to another EPL or Championship club but the Eredivisie.

Ike Ugbo was anonymous to be kind in three clubs he played at two in English league one, 15 games and one goal is poor. However, he is young and may have improved, l really do not know ❓

But in the HERE and NOW he has done better than what Osimhen did in Belgium league 21 games 11 goals this season so far. In this regard I can be justified.

I expected the NFF to have done more not just look at prospective future talents but proven established and proven top quality players like Tosin, Ademola and Ovie and to a lesser extent lke Ugbo.

Official : Hammarby Loan In Four Nigerian Teenagers Including Ex-Golden Eaglet Olaniyan Published: January 27, 2021 Swedish Allsvenskan side Hammarby have completed the signings of four Nigerian teenagers on a six-month loan. They are forward Miekam Womene Zuokemefa, offensive midfielder Olatomi Alfred Olaniyan, central midfielder Oluwatobi Samson Abimbola and winger David Akpan Ankeye - all 18 years old. Olaniyan was a key member of the Golden Eaglets squad to the 2019 Africa U17 Cup of Nations, starting all the five matches during the tournament held in Tanzania, but missed out on the roster to the World Cup in Brazil. Providing a lowdown on the Nigerian quartet, Hammarby Head of Scouting, Mikael Hjelmberg told the club's official website : "Womene is a well-grown, smart forward with an impressive movement pattern. He comes from Aweskim Academy together with Oluwatobi who is an inner midfielder with great work capacity and is a real attitude player. "Olatomi, known as Agüero, is an offensive midfielder who was Amoo's teammate in the Nigerian U17 national team. "He has a low center of gravity and is very skilled in playing. He comes from Sido Academy, the same academy as Amoo, together with Akpan. "The latter two players were largely ready for a larger European club, but chose to come to us instead, and that says a lot about the reputation we have built up". The four promising Nigerian teenagers will initially train with Hammarby's cooperation club IK Frej to get acquainted with the new football environment .

lloydtruth:

It's definitely not a drill or fluke. We better give the guy the support he needs to start banging the goals in the GWG jersey.

When you invite a players like Onuachu you must play to his strength and adapt the style accordingly.

Unfortunately when it comes to crossing the ball a very basic skill set our players fail at this woefully.

Them we then start condemning him that he is not good enough for the SE.

This is the quintessential English kick and rush, blood and guts football team. And Dyche is slave driver literally. And if you are black you will not survive there.

They weren't invited bro, they were just cleared.

If time is not taken, they might not even be invited for the match games. De cool temper small small

Concerning the bold, they were cleared too.

Or is there something I'm not understanding here?

Super Eagles Official Dismisses Reports FIFA Has Cleared Liverpool, Chelsea, Fulham, Southampton Stars To Play For Nigeria Published: January 27, 2021

Super Eagles chief scout Tunde Adelakun has moved quickly to dismiss reports in the local press that football's governing body, FIFA has given clearance to six players with dual nationality to switch allegiance to the Nigeria Football Federation.
It was erroneously claimed that Fulham pair Ademola Lookman and Tosin Adarabioyo, Liverpool-owned winger Sheyi Ojo, Chelsea loanee Ike Ugbo, Southampton young star Nathan Tella, PSV's Nonso Madueke, Reading midfielder Ovie Ejaria and Hertha Berlin's Jordan Torunarigha applied for a one-time change of association, with FIFA approving six. Lookman, Ejaria and Ugbo have all requested to switch nationality after representing England youth teams but FIFA has not yet approved the one-time switch, while former Arsenal trainee Tella, a player of interest to manager Gernot Rohr, is able to play for the Super Eagles straightaway as he no caps for his country of birth, England.


When asked to confirm whether FIFA had cleared the aforementioned players, Adelakun told allnigeriasoccer.com : "I can categorically tell you that it is not true, wherever that news came from it is false, it is not true at all, it is fake . "Everything that you read in the report is not true, it didn't come from us. I have seen all the names this morning and none of it is true - the whole piece - as it is false. "I'm not going to pick individual names but the story in its entirety is false".


Lookman, Ojo and Ejaria were members of the England squad that won the FIFA U20 World Cup in 2017.

It won't matter how many good players we call up as long as Rohr doesn't step up his game...
He might invite Lookman now and still start Musa..
We have been in this rebuilding phase for too long and I don't see how far we can go if we eventually qualify for Qatar 2022..

What was always his final outcomes of him running like bolt and diving at defenders like Di Maria when none leads to assist or goals? Trent Arnold nor be him mate?
I am not surprised that he can't trap now, it was his fellow team mates at Barca that brought the little attributes he had in him when playing for Barca.
I still can't imagine when Bartomeu got such players from...just look at trincao, nothing to write home about also
