OMANBALA1:


Sorry, I didnt see the Togo match, so I cant rate him. Forget about that Uyo encounter because the only thing I remember of him was a few good touches and he was quickly hauled off in the second half. He has a decent game against Egypt but from there on its been downhill for Iwobi,except that Zambia rescue.

As for Nacho, like Pep said he is a natural scorer but thats just one aspect of a striker. Nacho is not growing,matter of fact it looks like he is out of ideas. I wish him the best.

OMANBALA1:


Goldfish said it,out of over 170 million Nigerians we couldnt produce a single world class player ? We rather take bunch of some average players and create new standard for world class,place them there just so we can open our mouth and say we have top players. And when other people disagree with us we call them angry

I don't think a move to the EPL is necessarily right for everyone. It's an excellent league, it has the most diversity and much better quality than many other leagues but I don't think it's the best league for everyone. Imo, its easy to get 'lost' there.
I don't have anything against the championship either but I feel he will get more exposure in Benfica. They are a top table side in the Portuguese league and he will get the opportunity to play in UCL which (imo) will give him the opportunity to face different teams, learn new things and ultimately improve. If he does well enough, he may get the opportunity to move to a better league.
Of course I believe that the most important thing is playing time so as long as he is not warming bench I would prefer a move to Benfica.

There are four clubs in the Portuguese top level
league that have a very clear cut business model. Which is to buy and sell and at the same time maintain some degree of league dominance. This means that trying to create longevity in the club is very difficult.

Those clubs are.

Porto
Benfica
Sporting Lisbon
Sporting Braga

These clubs bring young players in give them a season of a few games create market value with the club branding sell young prospects. Then you laugh all the the way to the bank.

Consider, how many youngsters with supposed potential these clubs sell each year and you can see the business model they have instituted. Admittedly Braga is probably not as bad as the other three.

Consider Awaziem how many games before being shipped out on loan to create value. This is what I fear may happen to Ebuehi as well. Thank the heavens that TPI has been outlawed otherwise it would be much worse.

I was at Braga a few years ago in 2015 and there was a Nigerian forward ▶ who was there. He was not getting any playing time just used as potential to bring in more transfer £££.

In this regard I feel that Norwich expressed interest is more about football than a quick deal and consider it a better option. Just my view.

Because she must have revealed to you guys later on while I was away. Easy guess. But read the rest of the convo between us...

You are right. At a point I forgot he was even on the pitch.

That is part of what affected him at City. His involvement in overall play. Meanwhile in the Super Eagles u see him working like he has been mandated to play like 3 positions.

See, I am not happy with Iheanacho and Iwobi's game levels at their respective clubs but when it comes to the Super Eagles they deliver and that is what matters to me as a Super Eagles fan.

All those calling for the dropping of Iheanacho and Iwobi will definitely be disappointed again. Rohr will still chose them again over the likes of Raheem Lawal, Josh Onomah and who again? Ajagun etc.

Rohr knows his players and what they can bring to the table. Iheanacho and Iwobi contributed to the 4goals we scored against Argentina. Iheanacho: 1 goal, two assists and Iwobi 2 goals. Iwobi scored the goal that took us to Russia.

The Iwobi-Iheanacho false 9 partnership worked like magic against Argentina and I would like to see it again in our next friendly.

Form is temporary but Class is permanent. Go ask Mikel.

Humility017:
read somewhere...Southampton are nursing a move for nancho...the fans are already longing for him rather than go for Walcott....

to be honest I was amazed to read the way some of these English guys create excuses for nancho...they still believe in his abilities..and potentials...

safarigirl:
two assists oga.

1 for Iwobi
1 for Idowu

TheSuperNerd:
At least some of them still got good memory and also saw that Argentina game. But some of us here.... we wan sacrifice Nacho to Amadioha

AIG07:
Ebuehi is presently in a dicey situation.
Move or No Move, he needs to make a choice. My own be say make he weigh im choice wella if possible make e use sensitive scale wey go give am correct answer.

His world cup slot is not yet Sealed.
This Move will be a changing point in his entire career and finally he should not forget that he is now a NIGERIAN. Wishing him the best in whatever choice he chooses to make.

please I would like you to put me through how you Bolden qouted posts as you just did. I really don't have the idea bro. Thanks

I get your point Sir Basco. At 50 ng/ml, most instant positive tests for marijuana or cannabis is established. Iwobi may likely not have up to half of that in his system eventually so it won't register as a positive.

BascoVanVeli:


Sorry but this was not my point. My point was he should not say Iwobi had weed in his system without concrete evidence. Telling us about "catching contact" means nothing when u can't prove to us that weed was even smoked in the same room he was in. We can talk about him being out late but let us not make it worse with made up facts. Then people forget all of a sudden that this thing was reported by the Sun who are basically a gossip.

oloriooko:

Nacho is a talented guy with potentials that need to be developed, all he needs is to meet the right coach who will see his potentials and help him develop them.
That's why I canvass he should not keep warming bench in Leicester, he needs to seek regular play time

If that pass by Iwobi to Welbeck is not supernatural, what is?

tbaba1234:


Just found out that he is the younger bro of Alhaji Gero

Icon4s:


Dropping them to the national team bench is not an issue because Iheanacho was on the bench for the later part of our qualifiers. Against Zambia Iwobi also started on the bench.

Ahmed Musa has been on the national team bench ever since Rohr took over, has that changed anything about him? Ahmed Musa's performances against Algeria in Uyo and Argentina shows he still has it in him.

These guys are professional footballers and the coaches are professional certified coaches, they know what they are doing when they keep faith with players even despite their club performance.

At this point in our preparations, we need to be focused more on consolidating on our tactics.Like I was proposing we repeat the Iwobi-Iheanacho false 9 combo in our next game. If you drop one or both of them to the bench that will distort that arrangement. Rohr could have other setup options though. What do I know?


Modified: I just re-checked the words you used: "standby list". You will put Iwobi and Iheanacho on standby list and put who on the list in their place?
