I hope AFCON will not affect watford next year. They could lose as many as 3 players to the tournament.

Complete Sport nigeria reports that Napoli are planning extending Osimhen while also inserting a release clause in the contract. The question is, what are they seeing that some of his countrymen have refused to see?

What's happening na this thread na? Abi na my phone?

andrewbaba44:
Abeg leave smartsmith alone

They both insulted themselves

You don’t need to be one sided

And I believe the both of them are good

I have never supported hurling insult on another person whether physically or online. The Supernerd and Smartsmith both didn't do well today. Both need to be called to order.

Some of you idiots really think super eagles is a rehabilitation center for una papa. They want players to perform horribly all season long and still be invited at the expense of the ones that's "inform" very stupid Logic

Funny. But you would rather have us call back a certain Ighalo who was out of form as at the time you were crying for his inclusion.
Try to dey stay one place bro

smartsmith0907:
God bless you bro

Bia, where's Olise?

More on Abraham Marcus

A 21-year old who is playing his first season in Portugal 2nd division with Feirense after joining from Remo stars academy.

Just finished watching Abraham Marcus highlights (these are supposed to be his moments in matches). He is just going to be a normal squad player. Nothing special about him at all.

humility33:
I am relieved a bit
Because it seems we may not get eze for afcon even if he decide to play for US now but Olise we can easily draft in

Afcon teams like Algeria, Senegal, Morocco is becominh more of a threat with the array of stars at the disposal

Just want us to win at least one afcon with this bunch of youngsters it will go a long way to remove excuses from the mouth of rohr in next world cup on why we should not make It out of that group because that man is full of excuses

I doubt Rohr, going by what he said about incoming new players, will want to take Olise to AFCON though. Abi Rohr has changed ni?

For me, World cup is more likely

smartsmith0907:
the whole passport took just three days despite the fact there was shortage of booklet.. we couldn't have him play from the standby as a result of traveling ban so just chill and see how things unfold.

this particular that was said he would chose Algeria ahead of Nigeria snubbed a call by one of France age grade team

Please, did he snub France solely because of Nigeria? Let's not just assume because na 4 countries dey for on top of hin matter now o.

smartsmith0907:
lolzzzz
that doesnt negate the fact you're an ignorant..just calm for a little while and see how things overfold.

Lol
Oya u wey sabi, tell us
At least he spoke out so we now know his mind, you tell us wetin u sabi for d matter.

It's getting interesting

Seria A has to be the hardest to score among the big 3 or mapoli style doesn't suit osimehn. Respect any player that scores double figure in that Seria A

Is Osimhen now the standard for judging how strong a
league is?

uunwanaobong3:
I KNOW THAT MY BELOVED CLUB MANCITY IS TOO DECENT TO ENDORSE THIS CRAB,

MANCITY CAN NEVER BE PART OF THIS NONSENSE..... IT WILL ALWAYS BE THE 4 LEADING JUDAS; LIVERPOOL, MAN UTD, ARSENAL AND CHELSEA

Mancity dey there bros.... Who are the six big English clubs again?.

charlesemeka85:
i can remember how Rohr was bashed here the first time he gave this kid a call up to the team as a German 3rd tier goal tender but today the reverse is the case

He is deservedly the teams number one and also the only 9ja goalie in Europes top leagues

What we enjoy having him as an eagle currently is the evident of catching them young. I am of the idea of capping players of dual nationality in the Snr team when they re yet to hit stardom inorder to wade off the lure of other nations they hv ties with

Kid hv improved a whole lot

Nice idea but Rohr wouldn't have capped him were it not for the crises in the goalkeeping department of the national team

TheSuperNerd:
This is a lie I am tired of reading here everytime you guys wanna talk Nwakali in the here and now.

Poor work rate yet he made three Tackles, one clearance and won 7/12 duels in the game. He even tracked a runner/opponent one time in midfield and won the ball comfortably before playing a pass forward.

A game I watched and saw the lad mark when he needed to. What would you have him do?? Run around the pitch like a headless chicken?? Is that what you call workrate??

It is takes like this that keeps misinforming the people that bother to read this thread. Such a poor post.

You may call it a "lie" or a "poor post" but that's my take on his pattern of play. You are entitled to your opinion just like I am entitled to mine. Thank you.

charlesemeka85:
that's one aspect of his game he really needs to work on seriously

Yeah. Once he can work on it and master it consistently. The sky is the limit for him.

Alcoron is leading presently. Nwakali's poor work rate is baffling to say the least.

etebefia:
Same rhetorics, I need time yet if Germany comes you won't need time, Uduokhai just needs time to become a German reject before considering the Super Eagles.

Let every player follow their hearts, If you want German wait for Germany, If you want Super Eagles then declare early in your career so you can be integrated into the team building as well as have a long career, not coming when you have been rejected and you your age is already reading 25+ years.

That's my problem with all this FBs
Declare from start make we know where your heart dey.

It might not be Benin's fault. False positives exist even in Nigeria. Investigation is in order though.

charlesemeka85:
i am not doubting that, if he remains uncapped and joins bayern with good performances definitely the french even the english will try to snap him up

bayern are not the only team interested in him the likes of leeds,liverpool,chelsea,wolves,juventus are all interested so we have to wait for him to join any first before concluding

my main point is for the nff and rohr to place him on standby implies that both parties had an agreement

I agree with you. This reminded of Ebuehi's case then. He gave consent and was invited only for him to refuse him coming. Rohr himself said he wouldn't have invited a player without informing and reaching out to the player for consent.
For him to give be on the list, he must have given his consent. He can however change his mind later and who is to blame him if he have a rethink about being Super Eagle? Even God Almighty change his mind about the Children of Israel and the people of Nineveh in the Bible.

Abeg, na who dey shout "can you believe that?" after we scored?. Baba even repeated the statement (abi na question) twice.

In all, nice performance. We dominated possession in an away game. Wonderful.

fabyom:
I prefer we play 3-5-2 away from home. We played so well the last time we played that formation. We have the players to play the formation effectively.
Uzoho(cos of the pitch)

Ekong Ajayi Balogun

Aina Ndidi Aribo Sanusi

Iwobi

Iheanacho Osihmen

By so doing, you will be sacrificing Chukwueze

It seems that the friendship between Iwobi and Iheanacho has cooled down now. It's now Ndidi and Iheanacho.

2lola:
I will suggest you tune down your way of replying people.
Most of your reply to people who don't have the same stand as you are not it

I just tire for some people o. If they can't force their opinion on you, they resort to insults. As stupid as one thought can be it should be respected. That's maturity.

JoyIsSweet:
Don't even go there! The name Okocha is meant to be mentioned when talking about legend in the game.

This is not to take anything off Ighalo, he is a good player but retired and our striking position is not in a state of emergency to consider calling up retired players.

Abi?
Players should only come out of retirement during emergencies and crisis like during a must win qualifier.
What extraordinary help do we need against Lesotho and Benin republic for God's sake?

andrewbaba44:
Is Okocha God of football ? Or is Okocha and ighalo the same person or you want Okocha and ighalo to be sharing same decision ba

Same Okocha that didn’t win ordinary Africa best

Don’t allow me to troll jay jay

You can if want to, bro.
However, there is no crisis in the SE striking department that will warant us running to an out of form player in the middle east to come out of a voluntary retirement for help.

Even God rested after creation. Ighalo has done well and voluntarily retired but in the here and now, we have better young strikers playing at a higher level.

andrewbaba44:
Dem Dey call them be say dem Dey call them

Meanwhile Ricardo Carvalho was called out of retirement to play at the euro 2016

I gave you list of players about 30

If you want list of players called out of retirement you for talk nah

Don’t joke with my intelligence

As u just come jump enter d talk nko?
My opinion is if Ighalo hasn't gone into retirement, fine; but he definitely doesn't merit a call out of retirement. He is a good striker no doubt but his present quality doesn't merit going through the process of having to "come out of retirement" to play for us.
It's not as if there's a crisis in the availability of strikers at our disposal.
As mercurial as Okocha was, and as great as our need for a number 10 then, he never came out to "help". Who then is Ighalo of all people. C'mon!

andrewbaba44:
Maybe if the French coach can answer why giroud played all French games at the World Cup with no goals and assist I will answer you

I give up Lol.
What has French got to do with this?

forgiveness:
5. Taiwo Awoniyi - The most underrated of all. But he was ahead of number 2 to 4 with 9 goals (5 goals contributed before dropping to the 5th position due to injury.


I believe, the coach should choose from these set of players if fit for the upcoming games.

Osimhem, Maja and co should keep working hard.

Sadiq should work very to play in a first division before he should be considered for the national team ahead of the aforementioned players.

Bros, thank you
But you didn't mention Ighalo. Why?

andrewbaba44:
Osimhen
Ighalo
Iheanacho

I am dropping onauchu for just 1 reason

Lol.
So why are you picking Ighalo and why are are leaving out the others?
At least, let's assume you are the coach and you have journalists and 200 million Nigerians to answer to

andrewbaba44:
You don enter my trap ,you no suppose ask this question

Oliver Giroud ,France
Jose Fonte ,was called up by the Portuguese national team coach while playing at China and was 35 years old then (mind you Portugal have younger defenders in their league ) and he is still being called at 37 while playing for Lille

Max Gradel , Ivory Coast
Gervinho , Ivory Coast
El Arabi ,Morocco
Thiago Galhardo ,Brazil
Iago Aspas Spain
Jesus Navas

How many players are even world class up there ?

I am not putting Ramos and Thiago Silva Chilleni Bonucci Pepe because I consider them as goat defenders

Once a player is 31/32 he is no more needed at the national team according to you guys even if he is performing well ,rohr gave nwakaeme only one chance and some of you wanted him to impress with that one chance just because he was almost 30 then ,you can imagine the beer parlour analysis

If I am not mistaken 90 percent of people sees balogun as our best defender and dude is 32 ,we should not forget his recent struggles at Brighton before he was back to his best

How many of them were called out of retirement?
