injury prone or not. Joel Ovi is not trying to be first choice...he is being called as back-up, emphasis on the word BACK-UP to Mikel, so, except something foes wrong with Mikel, he will only come in as a sub here and there.

What is the likelihood of him getting injured in such appearances?

Joebie:
I didn't read that news that Rohr plans to call him as a back up to Mikel

elyte89:




I can bet my left balls .... Barring no injury/deep in loss of form to him,ETEBO.O will make it to russia

Joebie:
lol.. so even at this point some people still dey sing injury prone.

TheGoodJoe:


Wiltord played in the wings but at Arsenal he played a lot as a striker. You were wrong saying Wiltord was not a striker. Finito.

Bergkamp had a good run to show his worth while Kanu dealt with challenges and still made an impact. As I showed you that clip, there were things Kanu could do that I doubt Bergkamp could attempt.

Bergkamp was a great player but saying Kanu does not come close, unless based on his limited chances, ability wise, Kanu was definitely close to Bergkamp.

enomakos:
is he not?

jihday:
Whilst with the Gunners he was occasionally paired with Thierry Henry up front or otherwise upon the wing.[6]
this is from his Wikipedia page, and it's not different from what I said, once in a while and occasionally na the same

Joebie:
Ogbeche again!

Humility017:

I think he should be the one we need to call up to the super eagles and not Martins....

the Dutch league is no beans and should be ahead of the Chinese league

ChrisKels:


Uv said it all mate. Don't be complacent and don't give them too much respect which could amount to fearing them.

Loveren and Co can't stand the firepower of Nigeria

Mujtahida:

Support the team regardless of whether Martins is recalled or not. I'm hoping for his recall too. Komekn walahi let me tell you this:sometimes I doubt whether you are a true fan of the SE team. I don't know how but somehow imperceptibly that impression is settling in my mind. I know I'm wrong though but I just gat to say it.

joseph1013:
Onyekuru scores! He's just prolific.

Humility017:

you've a problem wit decoding one's write up....
please read my comment again and then reedit your reply.....

I said they will beat Martins team in a match....and not what you writing up there..if they registered for the Chinese league and will win it....

I did say such...Mr.

World Cup that has been in existence since 1930....so, of the over twenty times winners have emerged, most have been teams that struggled prior to the mundial proper?

Is this another one of those "Pull It Out Your A**" statistics?

safarigirl:
another delusional statement

Just any club? You overrate Enyeama. He isn't Buffon, he isn't De Gea, currently, he's not even Ondoa, so how can you say that he would be a starter for jist about any club when no EPL club, for instance, would buy him?

The way some people talk about Enyeama here, one would think he has never let in a goal. Enyeama that once we give away a Corner, 95% of the time, you know he won't save it.

Abeg let January do and come make we see the just any club that Enyeama will start for

Mujtahida:

I disagree with the bolded. It is present ability, present quality, present performance that earns one an invite. The past would not count as such. The team is already a blend of the young and experienced.
The second bolded : we've always called up three CFs so I don't think Iheanacho or Ighalo would be dropped for a performing Martins unless their form is awful. Martins can be among the three attackers.

He doesn't have a poor form for the SE. That is what matters. He will sort out his issues with Leicester.

As for Enyeama I agree that his situation is not the same as that of Rufai - we still have up to five months to the WC but those in the know say he's not coming back.
Too bad we are in this gk crises.

sontoly:


hahahha, Oga take am easy oo, cos he cant score up to 30 but may be the way he is going am sure he will past the 20goal line.

Joebie:
@ Mickael2
Why are we crying over Enyeama?. He is already on the road to recovery.
Let's see what happens between January and May. I will never shift my goal post. Performance at club level will show a player deserving for national call up. Then performance at the battlefield should show a player is deserving of selection for the WC. Rohr has already said Enyeama will have to start playing at the club level first before he will get a chance for recall... shekina!

tbaba1234:


Lol, Mickael2 loves to criticize.

The Nigerian team has things to improve upon but we have the quality of players to hurt anyone. I think we can get 9 point off the group but work starts now.

Before our next friendly, we should have studied all our opponents extensively. We should try out potential approaches in friendlies to see how it works out.

That is why it is important to select similar teams.

joseph1013:

Dicey. I will reluctantly take Henry based on sentiments. He has massive confidence for his age. I like his courage. For Wing plays, he may perform more than Obagoal. But I don't think Rohr likes him. It's a surprise to me.

A case for Obafemi though. At Henry's age, he was bossing in the Champions League. I can never forget how he messed up Maldini and Nesta that year at the San Siro. Maldini said he was the most difficult player he ever encountered.

If Henry is taken, it will be as a winger, while Obagoal will be as a top striker. So they are probably not fighting for the same spot.

safarigirl:
I just look at them as Forwards... I don't really differentiate into striker, winger or supporting striker.

We're taking seven forwards:

Victor Moses
Iwobi
Kelechi
Ighalo
Musa
Moses Simon.....


The contenders for the last spot are:

(In the System)
Kayode
Nwakaeme
Onyekuru

(Not In The System, Hoping To Crash In)

Martins
Onuachu
Bonaventure
Dessers

It's all forwards

Joebie:
It's looking like Chidiebere Nwakali's Sogndal has just been relegated.
They lost the relegation play off to Ranheim, after a penalty shoot-out.

Dedebanky85:
I don't think they played today. I saw a game involving Songdal online, but that was an adecoligan league game whatever that stands for. His team plays in the tippelegan league. I never get to watch some Norwegian league games cos the only streams you see are never available in my country. But if for some reason it's true that his team is relegated we can take some solace that he's not their true player. But that would mean he and Awoniyi are struggling for the title of playing for teams that always get relegated. Lol
