Chelsea, Bournemouth, SV Eintracht Trier Starlets Receive Nigeria Call-Up Allnigeriasoccer.com understands that two players on the books of Premier League clubs and a German-based youngster have been called up to the Golden Eaglets squad ahead of the 2019 FIFA U17 World Cup.
Nigeria U17s coaches led by Manu Garba are expected to begin running the rule over Chelsea striker Adrian Akande, Bournemouth goalkeeper Joseph Oluwabusola and promising SV Eintracht Trier 05 glovesman Armin Olayo as from Tuesday, August 13.
Akande and Oluwabusola were part of the Golden Eaglets squad at the 2019 U17 AFCON but were non-playing substitutes in all the matches.
As for Olayo, he was extensively scouted by Golden Eaglets coaches and the Technical Committee of the Nigerian Federation before he was handed a maiden invitation to the Nigeria team.
The aforementioned players as well as West Ham's Daniel Jinadu will be hoping to impress the coaches during the get-together in Abuja as they aim to be included on the final 21-man roster for the tournament in Brazil.
Five-time world champions Nigeria will face Hungary, Ecuador and Australia in Group B of the FIFA U17 World Cup which begins on October 26, 2019.
TheSuperNerd: Oga you didn't bother replying because Ujah is crap. It is funny how you guys are now making Ujah seem like some player we can bank on. Look at how you and forgiveness are making it look like Ujah is anything special. Lol... I laugh ooo... The way you guys will accommodate any mediocre just as far as it is not Nacho is quite glaring Biko.
So Rohr is silly to talk up Nacho before the season starts? Funny people.
So na nacho don score 60 goals na ,its ur type dt makes one wonder if nacho is one hell of a form @ d moment ,when is glaring dt club/international wise,he's a mess @ d moment... Anyway its ur opinion,anybody wey rohr call I support
forgiveness: See someone accusing someone of predicting Barrenness for Nacho. Fear God.
I didn't boda replying nerdy d moment i realise he was downplaying ujah chances in d coming league and also in gwg and predicting aw nacho will show good performance when d EPL kick start...one will now wonder If Anthony ujah plays for Seychelles national team ,just to show aw deep d double standard is on dis thread...any wc way ,I just want to enjoy football as a fan
komekn: Consider what you have presented in highlighted in the bold.
That's most DISSAPOINTING coming from you of all people. I expected a more substantive approach or if you like balance score card assessment of sorts. Not this joining the bandwagon of sentiment and fanatical favoritism for a player who has failed over the past three seasons in the No. 9 role comprehensively.
A player is only as good as his last season, this is a short term career. There is very little time to impress.
For the past three seasons the truth must be told KC has been ABYSMAL. People talk about him like he was a prolific goal scorer. He simply was not they use statistics to misrepresent his attributes.
He scored 12 goals in two seasons for Manchester city in the EPL in his last season 2016/17 at City he scored 4 goals. For the past two seasons he has scored 4 goals in the EPL after 51 games, let's stop this unnecessary fanatical support its an insult to other Nigerian players who are doing well.
Now some are calling him a better prospect than Ujah currently that's not true. How many goals would Ujah score surrounding by world class players if given the same opportunity. ❓
What we have here is shameless hypocrisy and double standard.
Then with regards to being a No. 9 KC is simply not an out an out striker he just doesn't have the attributes. In this regard there are too many ahead and better than him in that position.
Considering his experience with d team and what we av @ d moment... "IF" HE can up his game and hit d form,its a no brainer,he shld b d heir to dt throne,Iggy left behind,osimhen to me wasn't convincing and ready for DT position, though u might want to argue he played just one match,but deres a popular saying dt says Sunday wey go good,na from Saturday we go knw,judging from dt match against Tunisia ,I will pick an inform nacho ahead of osimhen,anytime,anyday however maybe d new club (lille) he joined now will up his game and fitness level,and d oda options we av are "green horn" considering dey av no experience with d team...my opinion
PDPGuy: FIFA has approved the expansion of the Women’s World Cup to 32 teams!! Going by the precedent set when the men’s word cup was expanded to 32 teams, I’ll predict that Africa will be allocated two more slots.
We shld b given just one slot more,even d 3 we av @ d moment, we re not justifying it @ d moment
TheSuperNerd: I foresaw Afcon 2019 as the tournament that sees Mikel make way from the NT. It happened as I analysed. The future belongs to those who can see it. Not those who sit tight and wait for it to be shown.
On Ujah, Rohr has not said a word. And I don't expect Magic from Ujah all of a sudden because he has never been magic. You cannot give what you don't have. But on Nacho, Rohr said this...
Rohr: ”I see he (Iheanacho) is now professional in the way he trains and play in games. I have been speaking with him and from the way he is performing in pre season he will be back with us”,
”He is a part of the team and he knows it. When next we have a game he will get his chance to prove himself because we believe in him and we’ll be happy to have him back”.
It is already giving some sleepless nights...
And our analyses are read by many Nigerians and football fans through a simple Google search daily. You have no idea how far reaching thoughts here can actually go.
As for ur first paragraph, it's a no brainer,many ppu here knew Mikel won't exceed 2019 calender year as a Nigerian player,few were only contemplating if he would honor d afcon tourney or not
And on ujah,going by Andrew444 analysis dt says,"IF" UJAH scores 15goals in a season in bundesliga,or churns out good performance week in week out,rohr will invite him,whether u rate him or not and to me dts correct cos we as a nation we can't afford to ignore a player/talent playing in such a league with such a decent "15goals" record in a season(we re not Brazil,Spain etc)
On rohr speaking abt nacho is a norm. he has been part of d team for a long time now,he can't wait to have him back but d truth of d matter is "IF" by November or so ,when eagles will play deir first match,and nacho doesn't enjoy enuf playing time let alone of scoring goals,he might not b invited,forget what rohr is saying now, but as a fan,I hope he continues his form cos of all d players we av @ d moment, nacho fits d no 9 position perfectly, he knws aw d team plays,so to me I think it will b a plus if both ujah and nacho churn out good performance on d pitch,just d way okereke is doing @ d moment
TheSuperNerd: That is why I said Simy is my last last last resort.... And I know we will never have it so bad in the striking dept to rely on a Simy or Ujah.
My list of the Post-Mikel/Post-Iggy era is clear.
Iheanacho, Osimhen, Okereke, Awoniyi, Odey, Onuachu, and Kayode.
No place for Simy but I rate him better than Ujah. Simy have given us a good game in GWG colors unlike Ujah who is all hustle and no product.
And the chances of Simy scoring 20 in Serie B is actually higher than Ujah scoring 15. Just watch and see. Last season, I think Simy bagged 16 or so in Serie B. Ujah had 4 or so in Bundesliga.
U av a way of painting d future...u b seer
Anyway,I believe by now we shld av outgrown some argument on dis thread,whether ujah will b invited or not,depends solely on rohrs decision dts if he remains d coach, not our analysis here ,all I wish for as a fan is,if u r gud and fit and u churning out good performance week in week out in a decent club, u deserve a call up in d national team, if not stay in ur club and improve irrespective of where u play..
Danielnino00: Relax chief.. we are all hoping Iheanacho comes back stronger. but using pre season performance as a yardstick for a recall doesn't sound right.. remember he performed well during the last pre season too... Let the league starts then we will see...
Yea dts d fact,let d league starts and he shld churn out same performance, d time of over pampering and blind support is gone, if u re on form and fit,d player will b invited, if not(no invite,stay in ur club and improve).
ChrisKels: I don't know how u gonna view this, but, whenever a player is coming from a poor background in the core North, no matter how talented, I don't raise my hope bkus naturally he is susceptible to exploitations due to poor education and lack of exposure. yahaya is a rare talent but his camp has wrecked his talent. bar bang average sani kaita, can u name any player that has made it big from kano, katsina, kebbi, sokoto Maiduguri et al?
1) Eden Hazard 2) Harry Kane 3) Frenkie de Jong 4) Matthijs de Ligt 5) Sadio Mane 6) Kylian Mbappe 7) Lionel Messi 8 ) Cristiano Ronaldo 9) Mohamed Salah 10) Virgil van Dijk
Yet we will b tagging our players worldclass ,none has ever made dis list in d last 17years,
TheGoodJoe: Orji Okonkwo is a scoring machine. So impressed with his movement, plays, hard work and accurate finishing. The young man knows the back of the net.
Icon4s: The team already has Goalkeeper trainers. Remember also that Carl Ikeme was appointed as one of the keeper trainers but is still undergoing training.
Enyeama will be a surplus requirement. He hasn't even undergone any coaching training.
And as a player, we don't need him either. This the time to give the young goalies game time but Enyeama will always want to be first choice
I disagree with d last statement... If a Buffon can still b playing ,@ d top level, y should enyeama case b diff, if he still want to play for Nigeria, den he shld b given a chance
