Newcastle striker Shola Ameobi could be in line for a shock World Cup call-up - with Nigeria.

Ameobi, 28, has represented England at Under-21 level but is eligible to play for Nigeria after being born and spending the first six years of his life in the African country.

Nigerian FA chiefs have tried to call him up in the past and Ameobi admits he would jump at the chance to represent the country at next summer’s World Cup and the African Nations Cup.


Does he deserve to play for Nigeria?  Is he playing football at the level we want our world cup players to play?

He can f*** right off.

in his wildest dreams, those he think nigeria is a dump ground for rejects? at his peak, he can't even displace any of our current attackers, im sure the same would happen to agbolahan too

Opportunistic mudafucka! Play ko, work ni. Foolish he-goat.
I don't mind Gabriel Agbonlahor though. The guy (along with Osaze) will add pace to our sedentary style of play and speed up our game.

Even if Ameobi had associated with Nigeria from beginning, he would not have made our team. The same Amoebi that Martins benched in Newscastle, less prolific than Yakubu in EPL. He definitely cannot bench them in the SE. And where do we put IK Uche and Nsofor? Unless we want to go to WC with ten strikers, Amoebi has no shirt in SE.

It is possible.
Ameobi could amd might be invited to play for d eagels.In naija anything goes.

Where was John Fash some years ago,
today is he not reaping where he did not sow?

lol!

Yes let him go.

Ameobi should go and sit down somewhere. We should not select him
1. HE IS NOT GOOD ENOUGH AND WE HAVE ENOUGH STRIKERS AS IT IS.
2. He played for england under 21 because he thought it was best for his career. Why should we accept someone who is not good enough to play for England? Is Africa a dumping place for africans born abroad who are not good enough to make it playing for France or England?

How many can claim to have scored a hatrick against the mighty barca?

Call up ko, Call up ni

Why is he just showing interest

I cant vouch for Amodu and NFF though!, wf something like 50,000 pounds on the table, anything is possible!!!

FBS:

Allow the guy to dey yarn dust. Agbonlahor ko, agbonlaka ni.  

There is nothing wrong in the guy having the desire - It's his right.
Will he be selected? . . . I think you all know the answer.  

Agbolaka ke?    

Lets put it this way,


Yakubu almost 40
Kanu almost well he looks like he was present during the last supper
Uche, God knows
Martins looks he has seen the last 3 eclipse of the sun and the 2nd one was in the 80's


But Amoebi is 28 years pace , heading, holds the ball, and UNSELFISH, remember that we got knocked out by Ghana at the last nations cup by Junior Agogo who is not fit to lace Amoebi's boot

Amoebi ko Amoeba Ni

Monkey de work, baboon de chop! He can never reap where he did not sow

When we were struggling to play previous qualifiers or struggling to even qualify even in 2006, how many of these Naija Oyinbo players remembered that Nigeria was existing talkless of playing for Nigeria. I remember quite well the British Media will trump up their footballing prowress as the next John Barnes fit to play for England and when their careers begin to take a dip in form and slide continously and there is no hope for them to even make their first 11 for their respective teams , they will now remember that their Great Grand Father has Nigerian parentage in their Blood so that they can use the Super Eagles to revive their ailing Careers by Playing in the World Cup so that they can enjoy their own 15 minutes of Fame playing in the world cup but not dying for Nigeria on the field of play like Osaze will do any time any day.

He should go back to the British FA that promised him, Agbolahan and Carlton Cole that there is hope for them to Bench Rooney. Sorry No room for them in The Super Eagles. Even if we carry 23 half fit Kanu Nwankwos to the world cup and we conceed 30 goals per match, i am still contented that it was the real Nigerian Heroes that died to make us qualify than one Naija Oyinbo somewhere in Vietnam that Suddenly realises his bloodline parentage  and hoping to use the Super Eagles to revive his ailing Career.

Another against Leverkusen, his carrier was distorted because Newcastle wanted to mould him into the next Shearer,

Well, if he wants to play for Nigeria I think he should be given the opportunity

plus he his injury prone.
Does the basic things with minimal fuss. Someone to have in the team definitely.
I can bet ma house that he had score more than uche kalu if given the chance.

He was never considered for England in 2006, he only played for the Under 21 because he wasnt invited by the NFA, Olisadebe wrote to the NFA so many times but he was ignored, but Poland who were desperate for a striker and they Qualified for the first time since 1986,  after a long season you want to rely on player who wont put their heart in it, look at how Shittu fights for every ball compare that to Yobo who looks like he is thinking about when his next wages goes into his account. Chalton Cole issue waited till he was good but I feel sorry for him and Gabby because when the time comes they would be pushed aside

Any player that turned his back to his Fatherland during qulifiers shud be left out completely, Osaze is qualified to play for Moscow where he was born, he chose to play for Nigeria, they should be left out completely. They shud not eat where did not bestow labour.  If we qualified without them, we can move ahead without them.
This is the first time I see NL promoting JUSTICE in Supereagles. Amodu shud go to 2010 WC for Justice's sake. Let him eat the fruits of his labour.OVER.

But Amoebi is 28 years pace , heading, holds the ball,  and UNSELFISH

I no know if na the same football me and you dey watch.

Please do not use pace and Ameobi in the same sentence.
They just do not work well.

@ Topic,
Ameobi can kick rocks.

If Shola plays then I deserve to play too. How does a football look like BTW

Amoebi would make Yakubu look like he is walking, and Martins who runs and leave the football behind Only Ozaze has a voice to boast off, this is the main reason why I am praying that "coco the clown gets the bullet" a foreign coach would mean everyone has an equal chance

Do you honestly believe that the Russian would allow a coloured player play for them? Look at Zenith St Petersburg!!! they have black players but they are not used when they play at home

Just because you are fond of Ameobi and Osaze does not mean they are good enough to make the team to the world cup.

Chamo, leave the guy alone abeg. This thread is on the HomePage. 
NL never disappoints!     

Gbagbe iyen as Godwin will say Ameobi ko Alan Shearer ni, but NFF can't be predicted.



GOD BLESS NIGERIA

Ameobi must play at the world cup for the Super Eagles in 2022

Ameobi is good at holding the ball up with his back to goal. . . . within a team setting, his presence may actually be beneficial to the Super Eagles.
