now that siasia is hired we already know that this guy knows all our midfield players so am asking you guys to put your favorite 3 from the following

mikel obi
obiora nwankwo
haruna lukman
rabiu ibrahim
joel obi chukwuma
emmanuel ekpo
sani keita
oluwa ajilore

the only reason i put keita is because siasia likes him nothing else the guy is not nigeria class. today siasia said that chelsea killed mikel career talking about how mikel was an attacking midfilder in 2005 i hope he dosen't play to use mikel as an attacking midfilder because that would be the begining of problem. joel obi was very impressive for inter milan on saturday against bresia the guy is a good central attacking midfilder. my 3 on current form would be

mikel haruna

ibrahim

nwankwo was poor against totenham but he still has a good future

i forgot to add okoro but he is more of a winger

Same old thread with another title. . .I tire for you o

When will you get it into your thick skull that what looks good on paper may not necessarily work on the pitch. . .also unless Lukman Haruna has overcome his stamina problem and stopped falling like a felled tree, he ain't good enough to play for Nigeria.

Rabiu Ibrahim should also forget about the Super Eagles until he gets himself a club and starts playing even if an Div 2.

Hey, don't even go there at all. . . .Kaita is actually our best Defensive Midfielder. You think se na yam for Siasia to have picked him as his best player of the Holland 2005 team?

What happened in the match against Greece was just a rush of blood to the head and it could have happened to any one. Notable players have had such moments too. . .Zidane in the final of the 2006 world cup (against Italy), David Beckham against Argentina in 1998 world cup etc etc

Mr. Man, let me be the first to kindly tell you that Kaita/Keita is not even on the same level as his Malian counterpart Seydou Keita, not to talk of those you mentioned above (Beckham, ZZ, etc).

In 2005, we had a Mikel Obi, who today, does not play the same way, ditto for Keita.

There's nothing spectacular about his play, and frankly, if he's recalled fine, if not, better.

Clearly, you've got issues with comprehension and interpretation. It'd be a waste of time engaging you. . .BYE!

@12 large123 - 100,
u always want to be in the news. u go as far as reapeting ur thread topics and that is a very big shame.

the last time i saw u praise a player was before the world cup in sa and that happened to be haruna lukman. i tried telling u facts abt haruna and after the world cup, u have decided not to front him as the world best player. what am saying is whenever u say a player is good, it turns out to be the oposite.
my prayer is that u stop seeing joel obi as a good player so that he will not be as good as ur haruna.
u always tell us here that mikel is full of sidepasses and backward passes, how come u always include him in every selection u make?
how do u include those u think have good futures in ur lists? since when has having good future qualify teams and players in competitions?
MUST U DISCUSS FOOTBALL? ARE U SURE THIS IS UR BEST?

semid4lyfe:

How so? Don't get upset when the "points" you are trying to make doesn't make sense

haruna lukman or lukman haruna

that guy cannot play for SE, he is not up to that level, before the SA world cup, you guys compared him with Mikel, but after the world cup everyone saw that that guy cant play for the SE, he is not matured enough, includin him in the SE is a disaster, haruna is not good enough, besides we have other good midfielders and haruna is not one of them

haruna is still better than mikel he was average in world cup but he can be excused for that because thats his first real big games but at least i know he can perform move forward shoot, score goals worldcup was just 2 games while mikel has played 4 seasons and all he does is sidepass

happy for one of my boys jo obi the next should be r.ibrahim

Is somebody still talking about Rabiu Ibrahim? If he is that good, he would have made a name since joining Sporting Lisbon. He couldn't make SL team, later loaned to an unknown club in one backwater league. If that kind of player makes Nigeria's senior NT, then we are in trouble.

mikel obi
obiora nwankwo
haruna lukman
rabiu ibrahim
joel obi chukwuma
emmanuel ekpo
sani keita
oluwa ajilore

It's a pity this is what Nigeria can come up with, no world class midfielder of JJ or Oliseh's ilk again.
Anyway, given what we have, our best remains any three of Kalu Uche, Mikel Obi, Haruna Lukmon and Joel Obi, depending on formation.
