safarigirl:
how many games did Nzonzi play for France's age grade teams? How many games did Mbappe play for the French age grade teams?

This point is moot. What is Batshauyi doing that makes him better than Dessers on current form?

You should ask Martinez and the Belguim FA not me. They have never ever invited him and don't consider his exploits good enough for the Belguim national team.

Dessers IMO is not on the level of Batshuayi or Origi.

Both players are in top clubs which means that they are not always first choice. Girou hasnt played much but he is still in the French team.

When Batshuayi went on loan to the Bundesliga look at how he tore it up. What do you think will happen if you put Origi and Batshuayi in the Eredivisie ❓

Lukaku was not getting game time in Chelsea but was still in the Belguim team. Lukaku goes on loan and rips the EPL.

You're sense of reasoning is way beyond me.

You are effectively saying that we should bring the highest goal scorer in the NPFL to the SE because he has the most goals.

Eartquake1:


You are comparing Dessers to De Bruyne and Hazard

What a joke,

Bastuayi has 1 league goal this season, Origi has three, so much for established players

Put Origi and Batshuayi in the lowly Eredivisie what do you think will happen.

Eartquake1:


Players are chosen on form and based on form Dessers is far better than them

So lets get the top scorer in the NPFL because he in form.

The quality of the league has no bearing according to you.

andrewbaba44:


You need to be exicted, osimhen is not untouchable , i need players who will work hard to send him to the bench but unfortunately none can do that for long, but dessers issa big threat trust me

If this guy continues scoring and end up with 20 goals in the league, expect to see him in a bigger team in the league like psv or ajax or a better league

If iheanacho is having game time and scoring goals you think say we go dey reason osimhen as untouchable

Agreed without reservation or question

andrewbaba44:


He would not walk into any belgium team

Make we dey talk truth at times abeg

People keep using the word REJECTED how can you reject an invitation when you have never ever got one.

I am baffled.

andrewbaba44:


Lol abeg no call mbappe here

Someone that is making senior team appearance at age 18 so what does that person need age grade teams for?

And besides mbappe played for the french u19 and u17

I really don't know what to say.

ChrisKels:


U are the one who is not making no point, uv bn running from pillar to post bkus I am using ur own words against you.

Here are the three claims u have made;

✓ He did well at Rotherdam bkus it was kick and rush

✓ He is doing well now at West Brom bkus he has good experienced players around him

✓ Now from ur last paragraph, u seem to imply that he is being played(recognized) and doing well because he is now a Nigerian international, rather than his abilities.


Rigmarole no more, just make a point. Here is the question again; Why has Ajayi excelled from Rotherdam to Westbrom?

You are going round in circles and l am not going with you.

I have given you my view.

Nothing more to say.

andrewbaba44:


You guys wanna put the glory on national team alone

Most expensive transfer ,I don’t think highest paid

Noo. Reckon both club and national team performance as the factors that influence club movement of players. You were dismissive of NT performance. I'm not dismissing club performance.

Rohr Disagrees With Pinnick On Ebere Eze, Switch Target To Ovie Ejaria

Coach of the senior national team of Nigeria Gernot Rohr isn’t on the same page with the president of the Nigeria Football Federation ( NFF) Amaju Pinnick on the need to lure QPR midfielder Ebere Eze to the Super Eagles of Nigeria, Owngoalnigeria.com can exclusively reveal.

While Pinnick is keen on having Eze play for the senior national team of Nigeria ahead of England where he is now a player of their U-21 team same can’t be said about Rohr who isn’t entirely convinced by the ability of the 20 year old.

Rohr instead has his sight on Ovie Ejaria, the former Nigeria U17 trainee who is on loan to English Championship side Reading from UEFA Champions League defending champions Liverpool, Owngoalnigeria.com can exclusively reveal.

According to findings by our editorial team, the coach has already established contact with the 20 year old who he feels will add something different to the Super Eagles midfield unlike Eze who tends to go missing without the ball.

Ejaria has been scouted by the coach and talks will be held with the forward after the busy festive period in England although it is believed that Ejaria who won the 2017 Under-20 World Cup with England is keen on switching allegiance to Nigeria.

Source: OGN

I don't know what Amaju has been waiting for all these years.

Ovie made quite and discreet commitment to Nigeria over two years ago.

Amaju fall my hand.

andrewbaba44:


You guys like taking the glory to SE

Even if he hasnt play a major tournament he has already been cap tied by the qualifiers so please leave van der vaart issues abeg, if naija no go world cup ekong don already cap tie, if naija still no go nations cup e still cap tie because of the qualifiers

Ola aina that didt play any tournament before torino move nko? shebi na super eagles make torino buy am?

Maybe if ajax buy dessers tomorrow or others team in better league and eagles capped him twice before then una go run say na because of eagles, funny people

If aribo join epl team soon maybe una go say na because of super eagles appearance, una go forget say aribo na beast for rangers and with or whout eagles he has been doing so well

Make una talk another thing abeg

The way most of you guys present your pointss is what causes unnecessary arguments.(but then we all come here for the arguments sha) You say they like taking the glory to SE but you are also taking the glory to the club. Either side lacks balance.

The better way is to recognize the impact of both club and NT performance with more credit going to club performance in most cases but not to be dismissive of NT performance as you seem to be doing.

edi287:

Both Ejaria and Eze would be solid additions to the team. Let's get Ejaria now and worry about Eze later.

Ovie is already in the bag 100% he made the commitment to Nigeria over two years ago with discretion.

But usual NFF politics although Amaju in this regard disappointed me. They simply did not rate Ovie at that time, now the boy is blowing VERU HOT they have remembered him.

Quiet and discreet like say dem dey shame to identify with the country.

Dessers has 15 goal contributions this season, Origi has three

Statistically Dessers is the highest performing Belgian striker behind Lukaku and the Dutch league is not far away from the Italian league

Modified : The Dutch league is better than the Italian league in the current Uefa coefficient

Which UEFA coefficient is this? are u sure it's not the national team or women club version? . nothing concern Francs for no.1 o

The Dutch league is highly competitive and serious league

So you are telling me you would choose a person scoring 1 goal or 3 goals in the EPL than a person with 15 goal involvements in the Eredivisie?
