safarigirl:
you cannot try a player that the coach does not invite.

As it stands, Joel Obi is not high on Rohr's wish list and like I said, any outside player that doesn't make it into the list for March might as well bid his Russia experience goodbye, so it is not up to you or me to try any of these players.

If the coach sees something enough to invite them, fine, but it is one thing to be invited, another to be given an opportunity to play on game day and another to impress enough on game day to earn a spot in the 35-man list sef.

There are many hurdles to climb for these outside players, and Rohr no dey collect bribe anyhow.

Forget about time past.

We are talking of the present.

Are we presenting a team of time past or present in Russia?

You even said you have watched Sokari in time past. I may presume you are referring to the 2015 U20 WC and 2015 AAG.

Looking at the current crop of midfielders in the team, what can Sokari bring to the table that will be better than what the current crop can bring?
You cannot just conclude that Solari is better than Mikel Agu and Joel Obi when he, Sokari himself, is not tested at that level. The gulf in class between Joel Obi and Kingsley Sokari is just too much. If there is any other midfielder out there that deserves a call or recall ahead of Russia it is Joel Obi.

Kingsley Sokari is not a Super Eagles material. You can quote me any where.

Icon4s:


I doubt you know that Sokari and Agu do not play in same position. So why drop Agu for Sokari?

Humility017:

your mouth eeehh...
you make me laugh..it's like you wanna steer up another trouble.

I have problem wit ogu of being too slow and heavy and his passing skills don't really seems to amaze me.....

I need someone who can create chances from deep to compliment mikel....

safarigirl:
he combines well with Ndidi and thwy shield the defense very well.

Sokari creating like Mikel is quite the expectation , I don't expect him to be any better than Iwobi to be honest.

I have never watched him, but I repeat, if he was that awesome, we should have been seeing more of him earlier

COOL10:
. Don't be sad but happy for him. That time used in pitying him,use it to pray and believe he's healed already. This injury will make him come back stronger,better and more lethal to the extent that BARCA go wan buy am. That's what I believe and that's what will happen. U should believe that too.

ChrisKels:


Cool, but did u know that Rohr is looking for a better backup to Mikel Obi? The few times Agu came on for Mikel, he was far from being impressive. In Sokari I guess we would have a better sub for Mikel.

Categorise Agu as a DM or CM, even there, he stand no chance because Ndidi, Onazi, Etebo, Ogu, Joel are all better

BascoVanVeli:


I watched him in the CAF Confederation cup and he was pure gold. I think Joel Obi is a matter of fitness and it would be wise to have other options in case of incasity.

Icon4s:


Etebo, Onazi, Mikel, Iwobi. Pick one to drop for the pure gold Sokari.

Humility017:


players only playing in a qualified nation league....
it for players plying their trade in domestic leagues of qualified nation.
like Nigeria....for instance can only invite players playing in Nigeria....other nigeria players in other national leagues..like Egypt, Tunisia etc are barred from particiapting

AIG07:
the bolded sums up your post. Kayode a prospect? At what age pls?

I beseech you to take time to re-read my post and this time carefully if possible make use an eye glasses. Take note of the Capitulated words. Cos I no have strength for lengthy arguements.

daveP:

zicky:

someone even say people hate sokari because he bench nacho, chei this boy don suffer.
password; anyone that want to promote his player just need to mention iheancho

Icon4s:


Etebo, Onazi, Mikel, Iwobi. Pick one to drop for the pure gold Sokari.

AIG07:
Thanks Man.

I asked because I was wondering if it's possible to extend invitation to our players like Akpeyi, Morouf, Sokari etc plying their trades across Africa just to have the opportunity to re-asses them...

Icon4s:


"Pure Gold". A new nickname for Sokari. Hahahaha.

BascoVanVeli:


Amen brother but at the same time knee injuries are no joke. Not everybody is lucky enough to bounce right back

Icon4s:


"Pure Gold". A new nickname for Sokari. Hahahaha.

edi287:
There is simply no logical explanation in inviting Sokari before Joel Obi. He's a good player with decent vision and a good shot (at least from what I've seen on YouTube). However, I'll seriously question Rohr's scouting team if he's invited over Joel Obi or even Ajagun.

joseph1013:

How else would the thread be as long if random names are not called?

Someone even said Sokari is better than Joel. Another agreed with an emotional fan who said he is the best midfielder in leagues all over Africa.

It's his time. It will be up soon. Then may be Gbolahan Salami will take over.

Merry Christmas, people!

Icon4s:


I still don't see the essence of this CHAN tournament.

An U21 tourney that would be played in summer would be more beneficial to the continent's upcoming talents.

Humility017:



merry Xmas to you....

so you will want us go wit Agu instead of trying new legs to see if they can prove better...?

komekn:


Been watching him for over 6 years he's good but until he plays regularly for City or goes on loan he is essentially untested.

I rate him much lower than Iorfa.
