Gernot Rohr: My squad against Brazil ready

Nigerians rooting for Chelsea’s duo of Tammy Abraham and Fikayo Tomori to don the Super Eagles colours would have to wait a little longer, according to Coach Gernot Rohr.

Though enthusiastic about the prospect of adding the duo to the Super Eagles, the German said it is a long process before the players can make the expected switch since they had already featured for England.

He cited the fact that Abraham and Tomori have played with the English youth teams would make it difficult to process their eligibility for the Super Eagles.

He used Torino’s Ola Aina as an example of how difficult it was to change nationality.

“The two players (Abraham and Tomori) have already played with England and there is a long process to follow before they can feature for Nigeria,” Rohr said in a chat with NationSport.


He added: “It took NFF one year before we could get Ola Aina to play for us.”


Meanwhile, Rohr hinted that he has already submitted the Super Eagles team list for next month’s International friendly between Nigeria and Brazil to the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF).

The Super Eagles will face the five-time world champions on October 13 at the National Stadium in Singapore.

The thee-time African champions, Nigeria begin their qualifying campaign for the 2021 AFCON on November 11 against Benin Republic at the southern Nigerian town of Benin City. Sierra Leone and Lesotho are the other teams in their qualifying group.

This message is annoying considering Rohr aint quite OK with the use of English. I dont know meaning to make off this. The message has such sense that "we are already on, with the process of having this guys' paper works sorted out, but won't be completed before the next convocation, hence would take as long as Aina's". But, it could be Rohr was saying a different thing all together, since we avnt read anywhere that the guys have finally pledged their respective allegiances to the Eagles. Smh

Earthquake1:
Saka peaked too early for us to have a chance, English people rate him beside Maddison and Sancho as 'the future'

Saka has PEAKED already? at 18? Bros, Andrew wey u dey mock, better pass u oo. He came to limelight at an early age , not peaked. He hasn't kick-started his career, let alone peaking. If na like Dat, by the time him go turn 24, u go say him dun pass him prime

Guys where is Fabyom? He predicted a win for us against Algerian and a finals berth, and seems to av gone into oblivion since, that freekick from Mahrez.

tbaba1234:
France killed hundreds of thousands of Algerians during colonization.

It is a love-hate relationship.

Zidane played for France though.

The hatred is so deep rooted and passed down generations, yet the host nation can't drive them away, back to Algeria

Why do the Algerian communities in France hate France so much?


NB: This is why French players of Algerian descent always put Algeria first before France.

Seems Okereke's initial gragra in the jupiler league has waned. Fans are already growing frustrated due to his goals drought

jihday:
Experience they say is the best teacher

This noise maker again. Did he say this one on one to Tammy abi he just twitted his position on the issue for the poor fans to sing his hallelujah?


When this man was vying for a position in the NFF, he was trynna sound sympathetic, hence he lied that he turned down Nigeria bkus then, the likes of Yekini were better than he was, that their presence wouldda limited his chances with the first team, but, today, he is claiming he woulda gotten over 100 caps under his belt? How many did Yekini, Siasia et al get?

Icon4s:
Honestly, that competition is share waste of resources. NFF should stop taking part in it because it is not yielding any useful results for the national team.

Whoever brought the idea of this competition SMH.

Humility017:

I don't expect this man to win any away match....
he is not a good coach....and has nothing to offer.

Thats a very fat lie. In fact, u know nothing about Imama. His Rangers side of 2016, would give the super eagles a run for their money, with our dangerous quartet of Clement, Aguda, Egbuchulam and Nwobodo. Man set up his team to play beautiful attacking football laced with intricate passes that always mesmerised our opponents. When Imama was with Rangers, I no dey miss any home match if I dey around Enugu

tbaba1234:
4:1 Togo

Imama

I pray they don't qualify. Nothing good has ever come outta this CHAN rubbish. Not even a single player has been produced for the super eagles from that nonsense, from inception. Na waste of money.

Aribo registered an assist as Rangers hammered St Johnstone 0-4 away, in the Scottish league today.

isan:
Chelsea best defender today by a mile

He was shaky at the early stages of the match, but, he grew into the match and became quite solid. I love his pace

Tomori has a good turn of pace, and he's quite clinical with his tackles. Good player, though he needs to improve on his decision making.

junnyjake:
This Arsenal's Saka looks so Charlie-ish.

Waka there!! Ubanka!! But, wait oo, no wonder the bredas are trynna claim him Chai

Tomori looks shaky in this match.

Danielnino00:
Busayo Saka makes his first PL start for arsenal!

We can't have this one. He is too good to slip through.

TheSuperNerd:
Don't mind Ikone. Always dwelling too much on the ball. Rennes have made it 1-1 now. Game on after 68 mins

Dont worry Osimhen will restore the lead

ThanosKilla:
Yes. He works a lot for his teams. He could easily have got two assists against Ukraine.

Three rather, not two. One to Iwobi, another one to Kalu and finally the delightful through pass that put Chuks one on one with the goalkeeper. Osimhen is golden

TheSuperNerd:
Semi Ajayi scores again for West brom to make it 4-2 vs Huddersfield

One of the best signings of the new championship season. Also, one of the best Centre Backs in the championship so far. Dude and his team are looking impeccable and are destined for the premier league, though it is still a long journey. Big ups bro, big ups

Toylove:
[/b]Tomori is non-committal at present and said: 'I'm a citizen of all three [countries] so we'll see. I was born in Canada and lived there about seven or eight months old. My family is Nigerian, obviously I live in England. It's nice to have that. I can't play Under-21 football anymore so the last international break I didn't get called up to anyone. Next one maybe we'll see.'[b]

Lol even England have acknowledged that Tomori aint committed to them. Emmyboy remember the confidentiality of the info I once wanted to share here? Any ripples felt from the quote above?

Humility017:
I nor just know wetin I go tell you at all....

better to have him in the team than Zubby that have been stucked in Turkey leagues.

I repeat, have u seen him play?

andrew444:
Smiles, the thing wey you dey find u go soon see am
Shebi na here we dey

Lol werey!!
When are we showing Valverde the exit door? Dude is making mockery of us.

Is the owner of owngoalnigeria.com dead? The man no gree post news again, since our match against Ukraine. Nawa oo

elyte89:
Charles dey dissapoint @ times of recent, and d first time I noticed him on dis thread, he started with posting recent news abt our players and d team generally, later he began to chip in his own opinion;wc most times dey re very apt and brilliant, but when d issue of "zubby" don start for this thread, any soft jibe like dis wey baba no dey react b4,e go change am ni , baba don take Andrew position for this thread.

I pray he goes back to his old sef and sin no more

The bolded is an insult on Charles' personality. How could u say Emeka of all people is dragging a position with Andrew444 nawa oo, has Emeka gotten that bad?

Curtisaxel7:
Quit betting? come on bro, you want him to die of hunger?. We all know the only productive things that Aniebunwa Christian alias "Earthquake" can do is placing 100 naira bets and begging for alms on the internet.

That is his only way to avoid starvation.

U have to stop this

Earthquake1:
Football is getting complicated, life as a bettor is very hard

Now that's enough reason to quit betting. Channel ur energy into something more productive and stop making life so hard for urself bro.

Just a brotherly advice

charlesemeka85:
He is this good and is yet to be signed up by any meaningful team since leaving for Europe over 4 seasons now?

Can you come up with azubuike's stat since he moved to turkey right from the Turkish 2nd tier, his short stay in Egypt and his return to the Turkish top flight. I am patiently waiting. Pig!

Like he suggested bro, u seriously do need a break. U taking this thread too serious these days. I av told u thus before, I guess Joebie also did. U really have to watch it. U ought to be smarter and more mature than u appear some times. U getting too emotional over these things, u have to understand nobody loves the team more, and thats why our choices and opinions differ.

Humility017:
I think Azeez have come of age...unlike the crap he served us in Brazil 2014 world cup against Iran...

thank God he has improved...he should be called to deputise Ndidi.

Av u seen him play, or U basing ur judgement on hearsay, only to do a U-turn tomorrow?

TheSuperNerd:
You have a point about his physical side but Ramon brings good positional intelligence, decent game reading attributes and a guy willing to mop up dangers. He also is a good ball carrier and can pop up with a few goals. Ramon also packs a good shot akin to Ndidi. Right from the U-17s, the lad can strike long rangers. He is not your creative kind but is a good passer and will cover grounds for your team's midfield.

The bolded is too conjectural. U gotta watch it, though I like ur choice of words when u describe these players some times, buh u becoming overly hyperbolic here. Azeez isn't even as good as Uche Agbo.

tbaba1234:
I think they might be dropped if there are new invites coming in..

I would rather Ojo, if his papers are sorted out, than Bornaventure. About Maja, I still can't fathom the rationale behind his invite, in the first place. He hasn't done anything spectacular since joining Bordeaux.

tbaba1234:
Esiti was a replacement for Ndidi so Ndidi will return. Ebuehi played his first 45 minutes today for Benfica under 23 so it might be too early to return. Idowu should maintain his place. If there are any new invites, they will take Iheanacho, Bonaventure and/or Maja's place.

Musa is still injured.

Maja and Bornaventure are not Super Eagles quality. Both should be with the dream team

iSlayer:
But keep in mind Azeez is showing industry, albeit in a "jam body" setup.


Can he play in a setup requiring intricate passing/flowing movement? I can't see that technicality.




Anywherebellefaceism?

Azeez would bring nothing new to the team, but he is better than Esiti sha
