I can understand your frustration that you don't want Nigeria to lose out on George like we did with Eze. I don't know if the NFF scouting department behind the scenes are following up on Ilenikhena but from the looks of it we need to do more.

On the football side is George ready and to displace our current SE options? At best for me it's debatable cos he obviously can't bench the two Victors, KC trumps him with experience while the fourth strikers' position is open but with many names battling for one spot.

your reasoning and disposition is the reason why as a nation we will never grow

So u re thinking of now and not the future?

Who told u we want George to come and take Osimhen or Boniface place in the team? Is it not better he serve as an understudy to the likes of the snr duo you mentioned just as Osimhen was eased into the team by understudying Ighalo and others?

France that re chasing him u think they want to incorporate him to their snr team right away?

U aren’t thinking about tomorrow but immediate gain and impact? Nawaoooooo

I swear e go hard us to even smell the quarter finals of the World Cup late alone the semis 🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️

This season, you said? That is how many games?
Bro, national team football is different from club football. We know what Iheanacho can offer this team. You cannot just throw him off the bus because he has had an average start to a new season.

you go worst pass our nff big heads if given a chance

Why not recall Ahmed Musa since na experience u dey find, if not for anything he scored a brace last weekend for Kano Pillars

TheSuperNerd:
Damn it.

bro I saw the thing on X vex wan kill me . They should better disband the NFF and our football in a whole

I am f***king fed up

aicon4s:
Infusion of newbies into a team should be a gradual process. You don't just flood a team with new players with every international break.

which gradual process? U sure say u sabi football at all?

Are u changing the whole team with newbies or dropping 1 or 2 deadwoods for in form younger players?

The same Iheanacho that I doubt will even get minutes against Libya in both legs? Mk I see as his experience go help wen he will be glued to the bench 🤦‍♀️

solonnachi:
AE will really have to sit Awoniyi, KC and Chuks down and tell them the blunt truth. For God sake, so many guys are knocking on the SE's door and banging in goals week in week out. They better up their game or stop being invited

they need to brace up or be phased out

Wood don buy glue for Awoniyi for forest Bench. Wood of all strikers ooooo 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

And the guy is delivering for Forrest 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

aicon4s:
As a coach, there are certain positions you find your team in a game and all you need is an Old Fox, who is experienced with the national team and on the continent, to turn things around. I respect Eguavoen's position on calling Iheanacho. Besides, also, there are already a good number of new players and returnees in the team.

and who is the old fox? Una dey always get excuse to justify nonsense

Hv u watched iheanacho play for Sevilla this season? And if you hv does he merit an invite to the super eagles base on current form?

Experience head against Libya abi Brazil? The experience of iwobi,ndidi,ekong,aina etc aren’t enough for the team?

Invite in form and productive players noooooo but every international break na redundant legs we keep seeing called up

I knew France will do whatever it takes to snatch Ilenikhena from us and it’s on the verge of happening 🤦‍♀️

🔴 George Ilenikhena (18 years old) attracts the French and Nigerian selections! 🇫🇷🇳🇬

The FFF is following the player's case very closely. 👀💎

🗞️ @RMCsport

Born in Lagos
Arrived France at the age of 3

French Football Federation (FFF) Technical Director, Hubert Fournier, has started naturalisation process that will see George Osrzehmen Ilenikhena, 18, represent the European country, according to RMC Sport.

Chai!!!

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Mk una go owngoal go see as the editor take modify our discussion abt Tanimu’s unmerited and constant invitation to the national team 🤣🤣🤣🤣

This one show say baba dey enter here come source for news 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

TheSuperNerd:
Him fit near Home-based Eagles. No problem.

yes mk em go that side 🤣🤣🤣

elyte89:
lol 😂,you can’t afford to have tanimu and musa on d same list 😀😀

yes oo 🤦‍♀️

Akpom scored for Ajax today

Odunayaw:
Ahmed Musa scores on Kano Pillars return

good for him but mk em no near super eagles

Odunayaw:
Ahmed Musa scores on Kano Pillars return

good for him

elyte89:
How true is this

person no need tell u weda na truth or not na 🤣🤣🤣

elyte89:
We need to work on dis anjorin guy …he’s also another midfield option @dlaw take note .

if only the NFF will notice him. For him to be starting games mostly for Empoli since he joined them this summer he must be doing something good for the team

Tino Anjorin starts for Empoli

Maduka Okoye has made 25 saves for Udinese this season, 16 from inside the penalty area – the most in Serie A.

Excellent shot-stopper 🧤✨

solonnachi:
Northern factor was involved in Yusuf's case. Be like say Tanimu case na South south something. But come to think of it, Tourinagha was only capped once (was he even capped?). Since then the guy has been snubbed. Same with Akpoguma. What's going on abeg?

maybe na cus dem no get Godfather for NFF

solonnachi:
We have Tourinagha, Akpoguma, Ogbu, Oshe etc yet we are going for Tanimu. Eguavoen raise Chrisantus Uche hope come fall am. Na wa ooo.

the man go use em hand prepare for em downfall

How will you hv players playing regularly in top leagues and clubs in europe na players from English 3rd tier n MLS na wey u prefer? 🤦‍♀️

ChrisKels:
Tanimu from English 3rd abi 4th division when we have the likes of Akpoguma, Torunarigha, and the boy at Auxxire in France?

Local coaches are always funny.

Lol he even named Alhassan Yusuf too, plus Iheanacho.

this one don pain me enter bone marrow

Abeg anybody here get any of eguavoen social media handle? I wan check something 😏

elyte89:
I am more impressed with dt tanimu guy in cb Dan Akpoguma ,no b by club name but what u can deliver in the national team colours.The guy is not dt bad in CB options,however I would av called Uche ahead of alhassan in d list,den replace nacho with maybe dressers or any npfl striker

forget talk abeg Akpoguma is better than that Tanimu Abi Tatanus guy 😡

Even Torunarigha that I saw against Chelsea is miles better than him. Imagine English 3rd tier player in the super eagles?

Tufiakwa !!!

Amedino99:
list is out. no osimhen, no uche, recall for ejuke

this our national team handlers no get shame?

For Christ sake wetin English 3rd tier player dey do for super eagles team sheet in 2024 where players scatter everywhere? 😳

TheSuperNerd:
Anyway, Charlesemeka85, we still dey wait for Erik Ten Hag to end these eras oooo abi na him own era wan end so?

😢😢😢🤦‍♀️

Pidginwhisper:
Adebola Ajibola should consider this route as well. Our league is becoming more attractive now with Teams winning away from homes. He gets to play regularly as well.

no local club can afford his wages

AndSunGorilla:
Shehu Abdullahi also rejoined Kano Pillars. It would be good if our other players out of favor in Europe could also retrace their steps. A name that easily comes to mind is Nwakali but am not sure if he can survive the physicality of the NPFL.

Maestro is too big to play in the NPFL na

Nawa for u ooo 😡

Super Eagles captain Ahmed Musa has rejoined Kano Pillars on a short-term contract.

TheSuperNerd:
But we can do both.

Charles don make U-turn? I thought you always wanted Tosin Adarabioyo and Felx Uduokhai. Hahahahahaha.... these dual nationals don frustrate Charles tire 🤣🤣🤣

bro no be lie dem don frustrate me tire

Mk dem face front abeg 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Tosin who isn’t even been considered by England at the ripe of 27 but still forming hard to get

Uduokhai won’t serve long term purpose and may turn out to be like Torunarigha and Akpoguma 🤦‍♀️

Daninya33:
AE knows about him, he will get a NT call up soon.

Expect to see 1-3 new faces in the squad,most especially in the striking department.

playing in uel/uecl will give him the needed exposure and recognition. It’s better to invest in younger players like him for longetivity sake than chasing after the likes of Uduokhai,Tosin etc that are heading to 30
