Sadiq Umar just turned 21 years, still under 23.... He was 19 when he played the olympics. There is little doubt about his age, he is genuinely a small boy.

I think he had a great tournament and will get better. Ofcourse, he missed chances.

I rate him higher than Awoniyi and Okonkwo. We will see why..

The way some of you analyze sometimes to prove an unexistent point amazes me... Concerning the words i bolded, so you can write that statement on the world wide web where people who truly watch and understand football discuss?... This is preposterous!

Now listen and listen good, go and rewatch our match against Zambia, watch the play of Shehu both in defense and in attack concentrating on the cutback in the final third which led to Iwobi's goal. That pass scored that goal that is taking us to this same world cup you want to drop him out of,..yes if not for that goal, we probably would have been out of this world cup since Algeria's game was canceled.

It is not everyday a defender wins MOTM not to talk of RB. Shehu deserve to be at the world cup because he took us there. From day one in the qualifiers, his quality was never in doubt, his wing was solid and he never gave any of our opposing wingers a free pass. In fact Shehu was so solid that when the issue of Ola Aina playing or not came up, Aina was forced to play the LB instead because Shehu could not be gambled with at the number 2 position.

Shehu even improved and posted solid performance after performance! ... He earned his position. Let Aina earn his too at the friendlies because with all the hype at hull, he is yet to do anything significant in the GWG...

Funny enough the big problem i forsee with Aina proving himself at the friendlies is Shehu , Shehu will not be benched for him, meaning he is stuck at our Left back until further notice.

Chriskels no wahala,sometimes it happened even blood brother but we just have to move on.

I have a great respect for you but just a bit surprised but you know what we are here for Eagles,no matter the differences we shall all smiles at the end.

On Uzoho i want you to know these are the guys i ran errand for in UAE 2013 just cos of my love for the game and Nigeria cos i was in UAE as an expatriate.

But sometimes i don't allowed my closeness to affect my judgement of reasoning especially on football.That's the more reason I backed out on Akpeyi after Argentina match.

I don't rate Ezenwa at all but his performance against Angola changed my mind,that's me for you.

If you check my WC list Uzoho is number one based on Argentina match and it still stand cos Ezenwa goofed big time against Algeria, you don't commit such errors as WC keeper.

Chris baba your apology accepted and pls accept my own too.

Truly that comment with tbaba was targeted at you.Am really sorry.

One love my man and Respect.

Was Kayode invited for March friendlies? Truly I tell you today, it will be very hard (not impossible) for any player not invited for this month’s friendlies to make it to Russia. I’m speaking from analyzing Rohr’s recent statements.

Ighalo got lucky. The Cameroon tie made Rohr look his way. And he grabbed his chance

The bolded is the reason I said the ship has already left its Harbour

Joebie:
Kayode’s competition at Shakhtar

Well, actually the first and the last.

Kog45:
What an insightful comment.I never thought of this and to be candid you are not far from truth.

1.Peter Rufai was the first keeper to travel out for professional career,first with Dragon of Benin and moved to Lokeren in Belgium later Go ahead eagles in dutch league, fareinse in Portugal and Deportivo LA coruna in Spain.

2.Wilfred Agbonavbare moved from BCC lion of Gboko straight to Rayo Vallecano as number one and had a great time in la iga,remain the best Nigerian keeper in LA liga history followed by Peter Rufai who also had a stay with Deportivo LA coruna.

3.Alloy Agu moved from ACB if am right straight to starting eleven of MVV Maastricht in dutch league and had a great years before moving to Turkish league.

4.Ademola Bankole moved from shooting star to English championship club as number one and was damn good for his club,remain only local breed to move to England and command regular shirt as a keeper.

5.Ike Shorunmu moved from shooting star straight to swiss giant fc grasshopper as number one and was very solid for the club

6.Murphy Akanji the father of Dortmund and Switzerland CB Manuel Akanji moved from Julius Berger straight to Malta as number one and almost keep for Malta national team but already cap by Nigeria.

7.Willy Opara moved from Nigeria league straight to Orlando pirates as a starter for long before he quit the game.

8.Peterside Idah moved from Iwauyanwu nationals straight to south Africa league as number one

9.Greg Etafia moved from here and team up with marrowka swallo as number one before he quit the game now one of the technical member of the team.

10.Vincent Enyeama moved from Nigeria and command a regular shirt for his club in Isreal for so long before moving to French league also as number one.

11.Austin Ejide left Nigeria straight to Do sahel as number one and later to Bastia in French division two before moving to Isreal,in all these sojourn he was a regular now in Isreali second division.

12.Dele Aiyenugba moved from Enyimba and replaced Enyeama in his former club as number one for so long and still active as number one in Isreali league till dates.

13.Sunday Rotimi left plateau united straight to Isreali second division league as number one and came back home when the team got relegated meaning no space for thorough professional in division three.He came home spent a season and moved back and spent another three seasons before returning to NPFL and still remain solid.

14.Daniel Akpeyi moved from Nigeria league and straight as number one of chippa united in South Africa league,presently eagles keeper.

15.Dele Ajiboye from Nigeria to Spanish division three and command regular shirt until he moved back to Nigeria and sort his career out with shooting star,Nasarawa united and now with Plateau united, presently one of the five Rohr is considering,good decision for him to come back instead of wasting in division four league.

16.Ghanian international Edward Ansah was so solid with Leventis United for many years but went straight to claim Ghana number one keeper ahead of his Europe based counterparts,just to tell us talents abound in Nigeria league.

17.Fataou Dauda another Ghana international in Nigeria league and doing well with Enyimba.

Mike,truly Nigeria goalkeeping future is bleak with our keepers keeping for reserve teams and youth teams in Europe.

Presently Uzoho is number four cos Deportivo recently got another keeper on loan from Russia league instead of promoting the young lad to the main team.

Alampasu third keeper in Portuguese league after some years with the club not encouraging.

Well Maduka is still growing cos we don't know what future hold for him being a German which will definitely shape his future.

Honestly i don't think these guys are better than what we have at home but do we blame Rohr cos Alloy Agu failed to produce a solid keeper for the team if not how on earth will Super eagles be chasing goalkeepers who are under tutelage for Eagles.

tbaba1234:
Yes..

You can not beat playing regularly.

Maduka trains with the first team regularly. Infact, he was one of the keepers that went with the first team players to their winter camp. He has also made the bench for the team A.

The difference is that he is constantly playing, you can't beat that.

Kog45:
No he is inactive as third keeper in team A,so a regional keeper keeping for U 18 team deserves more attention.I tire o.

@oga chriskels,my chairman, aw far those German boiz na,wc one go dey list to be released on 7th...

realpoacher:
Oga you all should stop complaining about Uzoho's clip. I believe that you of all people should know that you don't judge a keeper by the goals he conceded only as that doesn't tell true picture.

Do you want me to show clips of goals conceded only of top keepers worldwide?... Starting from Jorge Campos, Oliver Kahn, Dida, Casillas, Great Edwin Van Der Saar, Almighty De gea, Neur, Peter Cech,...? All of them, from their goals conceded only, they look amateurish! Every keeper looks incompetent at any goal he concedes... FACT!

To judge a keeper from clips, you have to see he saves and goals conceded.

Coming to Uzoho, this is a keeper with 10 clean sheets out of 15 games. You didn't ask for clips of his saves from the cleansheets matches, rather you asked for the goals he conceded and you are judging him from that.

Newsflash,.. I will take a goal keeper who let's in a goal in 1350 minutes of football /divide by 9 goals conceded, which is an average of 150 minutes to the world cup anyday anytime especially when the keeper is a young lad because he can improve on his mistake.

I am terribly disappointed about you and every other adult casting doubts because of the clips of Uzoho posted here. With all your experience and age in watching football, you don't know a good keeper when you see one.

As good as Peter Cech is, I have seen him concede goals that I wonder WTF

I have seen Courtoise conceded goals severally and I wonder where he went AWOL to.

Give the young man a break.

In the whole top 5 leagues in Europe, they are no African keepers in the top flight. It tells you something is wrong somewhere, but not that Africans are not good in terms of goalkeeping... No!.. Rather it tells you that something else apart from ability is wrong.

Yet here is a small boy trying to break barriers to get to the top and all you do instead of acknowledging his efforts so far is to berate him.

I repeat! Give him a break!

If he had not gone through the compulsory MRI now, Age-cheating allegations would have been flying here there.

TheGoodJoe:
Nah. Certainly the number 10.

Is that not Onyekuru spotting the ten Jersey?

Guess who is working with Uzoho in Spain to get him to WC level... Super eagles goalkeeping coach, Enrico Pionetti

maidaboi:
what about moses simon first 45 matches stat in belgium?

Icon4s:
I saw his YouTube video.

His talent is so obviously exceptional that I had to comment that Uzoho and Alampasu should watch their backs.

Pinnick and his team should make the needed moves now. The world cup may be out of it but we can let him know we are interested in him by inviting him to the U20 team. And then once the AFCON qualifiers resume we go for him in full.

tbaba1234:
I shared his info on this page a few days ago. 18 year old, highly rated in Brazil. His mum is Brazilian, his father is Nigerian and American. So he has 3 nationalities.

Icon4s:
Hahaha, if we are taking Uzoho to the AFCON, then we should just all go and sleep and think of other departments of the team.

Do you realize it is the World Cup we are talking about here?

tbaba1234:
How many African keepers are where Uzoho is at 19?

Pepe was willing to give him a chance in the first team but he was fired and the new coach went back to the fumbling oldies. Now that coach has also been fired.

What we need to find out is whether Uzoho can cut it, when the pressure is high and the stakes are high.
