Obviously, Keshi feels he can bring out the best in these players. Yakubu is a lot more intelligent on the field than we give him credit for. Let us see what they can achieve. There was a time Kalu Uche was playing in China and some backward places in terms of football. Now, he is a respected Super Eagles player with a club in Switzerland having left Spain.

With the right attitude and coaching these two can make a difference. Pablo Aimar showed that for Benfica tonight as well.

mens dept:

Nonsense. You guys are so colonized that you accept, eat, and bath in mediocracy. "Lets see what he can achieve", LOL.

Kalu Uche, please.

We have no team, and pretty much no country in comparison to Ghana, US, and your CHINA

@Okosodo, go ahead and shoot him in the head then. And say you have done right in the eyes of whatever god you worship.
Mind you, the opportunity to comment on the internet is premised on the fact that someone carried you in the womb for 9 months, some people took care to educate you and someone else bothered to employ and pay you enough to afford this. Let your comment assure us that these people did not waste their time!

Francis Diote:

Keshi have started on a wrong foundation. What has Yak and Utaka got to offer that we cant get from young players who are thirsty for success and will wear the green and white jersey with pride. This players have seen it all, infact they are tired legs.

@mens dept, if you tried to refute @maclatunji's points, you made a complete mess of it! "you guys are so colonized , mediocracy"?!? What has that statement got to do with anything being discussed on this thread dude?

And for all the guys clamouring for homebased players, I put you down as hypocritical if you do not attend NPL matches every weekend. My darling Enyimba lost the FA Cup final to Heartland FC on Sept 25th at the Teslim Balogun Stadium here in Lagos. We didn't see many fans there. Infact they were at their neighborhood viewing centres watching the Yak score against Arsenal or so!

In that game, I and my guys identified Valentine Nwabili, Uche Kalu, Bath Ibenegbu as potential Eagles amongst others. Keshi will look in the direction of some of them soon. Don't forget he gave Jude Aneke his first call up to the national team. If the boss feels the Yak could be useful to him in the interim, I see no reason why he shouldn't recall him if the guys form is right. It amounts to sentiment (as per his WC 2010 flop) to deny he is relatively hot right now. Unless "sentiment2 has been redefined by @Andyanders.

ibime:
You must have forgotten pregnant Yakubu's performance in Ghana 2008, compounded by his poor showing in the qualifiers and abysmal performance in the World Cup.

Yakubu has been a spent force since more than 3 years ago.

Even Leicester fans complain about his "laziness" not knowing it's old age.

At this moment, there is no way Yak should be considered whilst Emenike is popping hattricks in Russia, Odemwingie is top scoring in the EPL and Ideye Brown is popping every other game for Dynamo Kiev.
