First of all Let me assure you guys that We'll be going to the World Cup with nothing less than 7 Strikers. Secondly I don't see Peter Utaka being omitted from that list at all. Someone said he has seen him play. I don't think so. Or maybe once. I've been following this guy for sometime and he's simply amazing. I've watched some youtube videos of some of His goals last season. Total goals He has scored this season is more that the combined goals of ALL the other strikers on the list. I think He'll be on the starting 11 sef.

If you add either Kalu Uche or Kanu to the equation then yeah, the minimum would be 7 forwards. BUT, as I said in the OP those two are considered as attacking midfielders for Nigeria. I can assure only 6 forwards (2 strikers and 4 wingers) will be on the plane to South Africa.

As for Peter Utaka, sure he has had a good season. . . in the Danish League. Nothing to write home about. He is clearly in his 30s and still hasn't been spotted by a club in one of the 5 best European leagues. There's a reason.

Looking at the 30-man provisional squad released by the Coach, he named 4 goalkeepers, of which 3 must go to the world cup. So already, we have 3 slots filled and from those 4 names,one person must be dropped - leaving out 20 spaces to be filled by field players.

Of those remaining 26 names, 9 are classified as defenders, 9 as midfielders and 8 as strikers (Kanu Nwankwo included). The coach might decide to prune down the list by removing 3 names from the defenders, 2 from the midfield and 1 from the strikers or 2 from defenders, 3 from among the midfielders and 1 from the strikers. Judging from the above, my take would be: the coach would take all his strikers to South Africa, drop 3 each from defence and midfield and one goalkeeper.

So those that might not make it (in my opinion) to South Africa are:
Shittu, Terna Suswan, Ejide, John Utaka, Ideye Brown, Kaita and Anichebe
Re: Who Would You Pick - Super Eagles Forwards by Rmc1(m): 9:07am On May 18, 2010
I would choose anichebe the guy is good, but come to think of it why has largerbeer largerbach not been aranging int friendly matches or am i missing something here? The world cup is just arround the corner.
Re: Who Would You Pick - Super Eagles Forwards by Hakeemval: 10:12am On May 18, 2010
Odewengie
Nsofor
Obasi
P. Utaka
Martins
Yakubu

Honestly, if I have my way Yakubu will not make my list to the world (stop calling this lazy man a "bull")cup but he still better than J Utaka, Anichebe and IK Uche. Eneramo would have made my world cup list, the guy is hungrier than Yak.
Re: Who Would You Pick - Super Eagles Forwards by femmy2010(m): 11:52am On May 18, 2010
A super eagle Strike force without IK UCHE is almost Zero.
Re: Who Would You Pick - Super Eagles Forwards by Rudewaterz(m): 12:03pm On May 18, 2010
Anybody is fine with me so long as its not YAKUBU!! Lawwwd, the sheer sight of that guy makes me froth at the mouth! No kidding!

Peter utaka is a fantastic player i have watch some of his games and the guy is very amusing in scoring attitude and personally i think this is the kind of player will need in SA
Re: Who Would You Pick - Super Eagles Forwards by hollandis(f): 3:25pm On May 18, 2010
I dont care if enyeama is converted as a striker.I cant bear aiyegbeni.The guy is an irritant in the field of play.
Re: Who Would You Pick - Super Eagles Forwards by femmy2010(m): 4:20pm On May 18, 2010

Re: Who Would You Pick - Super Eagles Forwards by femmy2010(m): 9:54am On May 19, 2010
Akosbaba,na true talk you yarn ooo.
Ik UCHE remains my wonder man any day.
Re: Who Would You Pick - Super Eagles Forwards by illusion2: 4:27pm On May 19, 2010
@OP,start  a rod poll.

Any number of strikers ,as long as Eneramo (probably the least skillful striker to ever dorn an Eagles jersey)isn't included.

I won't mind seeing one of our overaged Eaglets sha  smiley

Re: Who Would You Pick - Super Eagles Forwards by cashful(m): 7:09pm On May 19, 2010
This four will definitely not be dropped except for fitness concerns(7/8 strikers will be selected )
Osaze
Nsofor
Martins
Yakubu

list completed by

Obasi
IK Uche(guaranteed if not for fitness issues
P. Utaka
Re: Who Would You Pick - Super Eagles Forwards by Papishi(m): 10:03pm On May 19, 2010
I believe a bed ridden Ike Uche is beta than a fit, bulky and running around Yakubu.
Re: Who Would You Pick - Super Eagles Forwards by Iyineda(m): 2:08pm On May 20, 2010
John Utaka out with a cold >>> http://www.kickoff.com/news/15526/utaka-out-with-cold.php

Well, I guess this makes it 1 down, 4 to go in contention for the 6th spot for the forward role. cheesy









I hope he recovers soon enough though. . . I don't want to sound like a beotch.
Re: Who Would You Pick - Super Eagles Forwards by Genuflect(m): 3:16pm On May 21, 2010
I THINK THE RIGHT SUPER EAGLES FORWARD SHOULD BE:
VICTOR NSOFOR
OBAFEMI MARTINS
OSAZE ODEMWINGE
CHINEDU OBASI
IKECHWKWU UCHE
Re: Who Would You Pick - Super Eagles Forwards by snakova(m): 7:21pm On May 22, 2010
Lagerback is dropping one (1) midfielder. That is 3 goalkeepers, 8 defenders, 5 midfielders, and 7 forwards. so 7 forwards i presume would be

Peter Utaka
Ike Uche/Kanu Nwankwo
Yakubu Aiyegbeni
Obinna Nsofor
Obafemi Martins
Chinedu Ogbuke
Osaze Odemwingie
Re: Who Would You Pick - Super Eagles Forwards by femmy2010(m): 5:53pm On May 23, 2010
