England system is very complicated even thats just the protocol even rohr attest to this during aina switch.

Okay. I think it an deliberate act by the English to frustrating and discouraging switch process because England administration is superior to that of the Germany. I stand to be corrected.

smartsmith0907:
Mr Broda be calming down england paper works takes at least a year compared to the likes of Germany, Netherland et al

Can you please give reasons for this? Thanks

tbaba1234:
Ejaria is expected any time now. If it has not already come out. He could be available for Nov games.

I see. Thanks

Are there still some in the line?

Danielnino00:
Anichebe was injury prone and below average... Just a midfield version of Shola Ameobi...
26 goals in 168 games as a striker for Everton.

Our striking options at that time were Yakubu, Martins,Osaze,the Uche brothers,Utaka,Nsofor...

Was he shi.t in green white green?

The fact that Anichebe was ignored after he got life threatened injury while playing for the SE don't speak well of the football administration and SE.

Who will play for such country?

Very pathetic.

tbaba1234:
Akpoguma, Ejaria and Lookman applied earlier this year around the same time.

So two have been cleared but Ejaria hasn't. Do you know the reason?

TheSuperNerd:
Who permitted Eze to train with us in the first place? Didn't Rohr and the NFF allow it?

Also, at what place was Eze when Rohr first saw him?

And Rohr wasn't ignoring him for years, he was watching him for that period and also focusing on other players under his monitor. Or is a coach not allowed to watch and observe a player as much as he wants? He then finally reached out to Eze when Eze was still free and boom! Eze went with U-21 invite to England.

Eze himself even compared his training with Nigeria in Barnet back then with his training with the England U-21s and he said that he would have regretted picking Nigeria at the time even. So how is that Rohr's fault? Eze himself said he would have regretted it.

So, Rohr was blind to see his obvious talent until after how many years?

Eze was snubbed by Rohr for years even when he was doing far better than some players in the championship.

Of course, Eze could be bitter for been snubbed and might be doing or saying things due to the bitterness.

Karlovich:
Ejaria,Tosin and Ademola's files are with FIFA. Iorfa is crap. Even Ejaria, Obafemi that is with Ireland now and Akpom trained with the Nigeria at some point in time, will you say that they were left in the wilderness. The earlier you admit that most English born players are reluctant to represent Nigeria when compared to their other foreign counterparts the better for you, unless you are campaigning for us to worship them like gods which is still not a guarantee that they will join Nigeria.

I thought Lookman has been cleared?

But how come Ejaria and Tosin's switch are at slow pace? Unlike, Akpoguma who just applied recently and got cleared with supersonic speed.

I just want to know something.

ChrisKels:
Agreed. To make matters worse, Eze was dishing out better numbers than Etebo, yet Rohr kept on inviting Etebo, neglecting Eze while both were in the championship

True. That was frustrating.

I still can't understand why Rohr SNUBBED him as at that time.

timay:
The only person of concern there is Aluko. The rest were sh!t Alukos case was because he had issues with coach/officials. The couldn't reconsile, so it's a unique case.

But the rest were not dumped. They just were not good enough to be invited. And it's not a Foreign born player conspiracy. It happens to Even the home grown too

What issues did he have?

How was Anichebe shi.t? I want to know.

TheSuperNerd:
This is not entirely true. What fame has Eze earned? Has the Three Lions called him up yet?? Has Southgate sounded out to him same way he has Saka?

Eze rejected us when we reached out to him for the Brazil game and preferred going with the England U-21s. That is the truth.

In a recent podcast I spoke about many pages ago, Eze revealed he would have regretted picking Nigeria at the time over England. So what are you saying?

Right now, he is still at a kinda crossroads and hoping for thar first Senior call-up but as it stands he is still eligible for us unless England fulfills his wishes.

Did Eze not trained with the SE?

He demonstrated he was willing to play for us at that time by coming to camp but Rohr SNUBBED him first for years. Whose fault? Eze?

Eze will be called into the three lions anything soon. The same way he went from Championship to EPl. The early you realise this the better.

Rohr messed up big time.

komekn:
Akpoguma said he was not interested AT ALL, his Father confirmed the same position it was somewhat derogatory for over three years and was consistent in that position all through.

Then he does a U TURN and we get him FIFA cleared at supersonic speed.

Eze expressly confirmed his commitment to play for Nigeria, but we left him in the wilderness for three years.

Tomori was there to be capped before he blow we did not commit to him and he did not commit to us.

Saka and Tega never said no unequivocally to Nigeria but made a choice to play for England.

But Akpoguma Warri pikin or not made it blatantly clear in public, I AM NOT INTERESTED, I want to play for Germany.

We went BEGGING, IMPRESSED UPON HIM, CONVINCED HIM.

That's double standard.

Meanwhile Ovie, Ademola, Tosin, lorfa, deh wait after all the promises by Rohr NUTTIN

The bolded is true. Eze was ignored by that biased coach. The boy was pained and decided to turn us down. No bi d boy fault.

opes:
But NFF went and pressed to get Tammy, Tomori, Eze and Saka. Those guys ain't just interested.

Eze was ready to play for us but Rohr SNUBBED the boy but after he rose to fame, he started chasing after him. Shame on Rohr.

timay:
For every of those guys dumped, there are more home grown players that have been dumped too like that. Don't come here and be making it look like there's an agenda against them. Moreso , the guys you mentioned couldn't cut it anymore. It happens every time. Because they are foreign born will not mean they deserve special treatment

Those guys were dropped when they were still playing well. Sone was nominated for Championship player of the season just 4 or 5 seasons ago but dem block am.

komekn:
I will correct you a lot more than that, l will remind you of just three.

Anichebe, Aluko and Akpan, we used them they were outstanding for the SE and summarily dumped them without explanation for players like SHEHU and others.

With regards to Akpoguma there is blatant shameless double standard, it or because Rohr is German. So it's OK to beg the GERMANS who have rejected us consistently for 3 years plus.

That of Anichebe and Sone shocked me.

komekn:
I wonder.

I could easily speculate in the negative.

Akpoguma who said he has no interest in playing for Nigeria publicly. Has done a complete U turn after Rohr " BEGGED, Convinced, impressed upon him" whatever its double standard.

In a matter of weeks, clearance completed.

I learnt Lookman's switch had been done but I still agree there is double standard at play.

Nevertheless, I love this news.

Arabiandude:
Maybe Nwakali

Okay

TheSuperNerd:
Wow, you don't know? Then go and find out.

I know it's not because I followed that Segunda league wella.

nelszx:
I think they can prosecute the game without Etebo hence the no replacement. But if you aren't convinced, you fit ask Rohr why him no replace Etebo o

With who?

tbaba1234:
His switch is done. He has not been active to warrant an invite.

. He will definitely get a call after the friendlies.

elyte89:
Guy u b police officer ,y ur nose dey always smell something

Honestly, I don't trust those people.

ChrisKels:
Akpoguma has been cleared by FIFA to represent Nigeria even against Algeria and Tunisia this month, reports Pinnick

. This is good news. What's delaying Lookman's switch then?

nelszx:
Game will be prosecuted like that
Clubs will not be obliged to release player based on emergency call ups.
If the game can be prosecuted replacement isn't an issue

What is the essence of standby? I thought he replaced Ndidi and Osimhen from there. What is stopping from doing the needful?

IDENNAA:
Omeruo was also in the team of the tournament, oga.

Which team of the tournament? Omeruo didn't though he was the best Nigerian defender in my own opinion.

Danielnino00:
U have started with your nonsense.

Omeruo was our highest rated defender at the AFCON!
When your find your imaginary CAF rating,drop it for us to see...

Keep fooling yourself.

Heard Etebor is out and I waiting for Rohr to name the to replace him but uptill this moment, nothing is heard.

Ndidi out ...ppeam... replaced by Ebuehi

Osimhen out... feeeam..... replaced by Onuachu

Etebor out...... story cooking....we have Semi Ajayi

Something is fishing here.

Danielnino00:
And where is the CAF rating??

Google

Danielnino00:
From sofascore

Omeruo
Aina

I thought I was talking about CAF ratings of players after AFCON!?

Danielnino00:
Omeruo not Aina was our highest rated defender at the AFCON...

Can you show me?

Subzero047:
Where are the stats na?

I can't dig it out.

TheSuperNerd:
Lol... Why? B'cos it is not the Championship? Segunda is miles and classes above Serbia and also technically better than the English Championship. This move is very decent. It is a step up.

The only thing is I wished his silly club had caved in when Ligue 1 clubs came for him earlier in the window. The 15Meuros fee scared them all away. But now Almeria came and paid 10M + bonuses reaching almost 5M. Almeria could be in La Liga next season if all goes well and that would be very nice for Sadika. They missed out on promotion last season by whiskers. It is a very decent move for him.

How is Segunda miles and class ahead of Serbian league?

komekn:
I can confirm, what makes it even more pronounced he was not given as much game time as some other defenders in the SE.

Thank you very much. I know some saw it but are looking away.

Subzero047:
What stats, was he in the team of the tournament?

I can't remember but I saw it posted here immediately after the tournament.
