So that we can fault the quality of the replacements and shout tribalism and bribery at work Abi?

You mean there are no quality replacement for those three players?

Just one right back, one center back and one RW/ATM are what you say we can't replace with quality players. Says who?

tbaba1234:
There will be no replacements for injured Alex Iwobi, William Ekong and Ola Aina

It seems the national team is not open to all Nigerians because in a normal society they should be replaced.

gamaliel9:
Strong inclusions....Is there a way or a link to send these names to NFF in case they are in the dark? Can we bombard their email or AIGBOGUN S EMAIL with this footballers? In short who has Aigbogun s email here...? I want to start

For where? I don't have any link to NFF or Aigbogun, that is why I placed it here believing they are viewing this thread as we were told.

andrew444:
I doubt say him go see this players

He go rather call over age men from NPFL

make en no try am ooooo.

BascoVanVeli:
Please don't expect miracles. He is based in England so he could even treck to see some of his targets there. I am not sure the NFF is backing him, he just happens to be in a good position to poach some players.

Na WA for this coach ooo but it seems the coach himself is foreign born himself. Hope he quickly invite those boys before it is too late.

Aigbogun should please invite these FB players into his U20 team. They are still eligible to play for Nigeria U20 team.


1, Mujaid Sadick is 18years old and has played as a Center Back and Right Back for Deportivo Dr la Corina in the La Liga.

2. Deji Beyreuther will be 19 years old tomorrow. He is predominantly a LB but can also play as a LM and LW. Traded is mark in the Bundesliga 4th division with Eintrantc Frankfurt U19 last season though made the first team bench on two occasions. This season, he has been promoted to the first team.


3. Keanan Bennetts played 28 games for Tottenham Hotspur U23 in the Premier league 2 last season. His 8 goals with 5 assists from his Left Midfield/Left wing/Right wing positions (though played more as a LB) cought the attention of Borussia Monchenglabach to buy him off from Tottenham. He is currently in their first team and could get some game time anytime soon in the Bundesliga. He is just 19 years old.


4. Midhat Bajric is 17 years old Center Back with Hoffenheim U19 in the Bundesliga 4 division. He already garnered experience playing in said division last season.

5. Marvin Olawale Akinlabi Park is an attacking midfielder playing for Real Madrid Juvenile A team. He is just 18 years old.

Liverpool has already agreed to pay Chelsea. In short, dey have paid.

Chelsea wanted £10m but Liverpool wanted to pay £3m. They settled outside the tribunal for an undisclosed amount.

I am aware. The point is Liverpool paid.

andrew444:
Bazee played 16 games for Hannover II between 2016 and now and he played 11 games for the first team between 2016 and now so please tell me where did the 30 games come from ?

You erred big time when you said he played only 11 career games.

Bazee has played 14 games (plus 1 FA cup game) in Bundesliga 2 and 12 games in the Bundesliga. In total, he has so far played 26 games for Hannover both in the Bundesliga and Bundesliga 2. Na just 4 games remain to complete 30 games.

Besides, he played 16 games in Bundesliga 4 for Hannover 2 after he was rapidly promoted from the U19 league.

In short, he was drafted from Bundesliga 4 straight to Bundesliga to show how good he is but Hannover was relegated that season. That was why he played in the Bundesliga 2 two seasons ago.

BascoVanVeli:
That payment was compensation for training him.

Of course, I know but Liverpool must pay. Chelsea is demanding £10m pounds for him.

yoged:
na free transfer but since he's below 21, Liverpool will pay Chelsea some amount between £3milliom -£4milions. He left Chelsea when his contract expire.

The bolded is the Koko. There will be payment. That's all.

Solanke was bought for free

Did Chelsea agree to let him go go free? No way.

Get your facts right.

Earthquake1:

I will replace Billing with anybody in the team except Ndidi

Somebody said Onazi and Obi have more talent more exposure and more experience to offer to the team than Billing

I concur with the bolded.

charlesemeka85:
so bros based on current form if they keep onazi and billing you will take the former? nawaooooo! saying that we have enough cm/dm signifies that you don't want the team to have enough depth in the cm midfield position. even if our cm/dm position if filled up with so much talents, having this kid will be a plus. if aplayer like mikel agu can get a chance in the current eagles team i seeno reason why a more talented billing wont be able to fight for a shirt in the super eagles

I will choose Billing. Chikena!

The little I saw yesterday was enough to tell me he will not remain in that club for long if he continues that way. The boy is good, and he is attack and defensive minded.

No mind that chap, he doesn't know what he is talking about when he said we have enough CM/DM. If you ask him who can come in for the trio in a game we need energy, na Ogu em go tell you.

For me, I will replace Ogu for Billing in the team. Then we are talking about enough.....

Bros, I am totally in support of what you are saying. Life and direct. But mediocre peeps will not agree with you na. So don't fret.

TheSuperNerd:
Lol... What about last season's full stats naa? Why you dey cowardly use stats from only opening four games of a new season huh?

Why do just love to dodge the WHOLE TRUTH? Is it genetic for you to do so Egbon?
Without even checking their career stats, it is more than obvious that Billing is behind Etebo, Onazi and Ndidi in terms of experience, talent and exposure. And guess what... Stats do not tell the whole story right? So even judging by their individual attributes based on what we see and watch, I still maintain that Onazi, Etebo and Ndidi are way ahead of Billing. That is indisputable. Won't even argue it out.

Is he talented and a good prospect? Oh yes he is... But the truth is that we are not lacking in options in the CM and DM roles so bringing him in would only be to come increase our pool of quality options with eyes on the near future and long term also.

I brought Philip Anyanwu Billing to the attention of this thread even though I had known about him for a while before I mentioned him here many hundreds of pages back so I know I am right to say he is still behind our major options in those CDM roles but can be a good addition for us as he is still growing and young. His potentials are exciting but he is not Ndidi's mate.. not Onazi's mate... And certainly no mate of Etebo. Finito.

Hypocrite! You used this season stats to nail Solanke after just 4 matches but you don suddenly changed mouth telling me this season stats of just 4 matches no matter.

Now, who is the half truth master of all, two faced double standard fellow? Hmmm! na you na.

I see, your authoritarian personality will not allow you see your bias one sided oluwole chop I chop analyses ba! But makes you feel you be the alpha and omega hence anything wey you talk na em be final, ba!.

Next time use one si u measurement standard to analyse save oluwole chop I chop misyan analyses.

How long did it take Ndidi to show himself in the EPL? 100 years?

Somebody wey no even reach how many months in his first season in EPL wey don dey win MOTMs upandan yet you want me to believe if Phillip does the same or more this season as he is already doing with MOTM performance, he is still behind Onazi, Ndidi and Etebor according to your statement 'time waits for no man in football' and one you concurred with 'i get am before no be property.'

You see your life so? Talking with two sides of your mouth everytime. Hahahaha hahahaha!

Mister! If Billing continues to add goals to his cabinet with consistent MOTM performance, I am sorry, I will easily drop any of the trio for him because that is what coaches want in their various teams. Gbam!

We are not lacking in CM/DM yet your coach dey fear to substitute one of the 'so many' in against Argentina at the world cup.

Mister! Are you aware Ogu even dey team? I will drop him for Phillip life and direct.

TheSuperNerd:
So you are blind to see that we were talking this season huh? Who doesn't know about his run last season in Sturridge's and Origi's absence yet he achieved nothing worthy of note in all those appearances he made... He didn't ruffle feathers or make any headline unlike another we both know who took his chances even in cameos and made his mark on the EPL in his first senior season. But even at that, I am not talking 2017/2018.. I am talking 2018/2019... You just dey dodge dey go... Anyway, it is your talent.

For 2018/2019, Solanke has Zero appearances and has Zero impact as it stands. He also has not made the matchday squads so far this season. We still await that. Time waits for no man in football... What you did last season is quickly forgotten... Lol... Is that not what your mate, Komekn loves to say when deriding our indigenous-born Naija players based in Europe?

So until then, no bother me with this Solanke issue abeg... I am focused on active super talents like Nacho, Kalu, Awoniyi, Aina, Onyekuru, Iwobi, Ndidi, Ekong, Idowu, Etebo and many more super talented players and prospects who are available to us both capped and uncapped. No bring me to this Solanke channel again Biko... It is boring, unexciting and lifeless. Biko excuse me u hia... **Clicks**

I am just bursting your lies u know.

This season? After how many matches with a UEFA champions league finalist and world class team? Bhahahaha!

Walahi! You dey speak in tongues.

TheSuperNerd:
Situation better than Nwakali?? Seriously? A guy who is finding it hellish getting into match day squads?? What makes his inactivity better? Because he is at a far bigger club? Abegii.. That is gobbledygook. Nwakali is seeing consistent gametime in the ledman liga pro. Solanke is being silently frozen out at Liverpool... Simple fact... And when Nwakali was being torn down here you didn't speak up but you doing it now because Comodo is saying the truth about Solanke's out-of-matchday squad role? Oh please...

Look up, you will see Solanke played 27 games last season. Fact

comodo:
Solanke win motm 2015. Win this win that. As okeke go soja finish, wey him Booth dey. Abeg comot coins for road make I count money. Wetin we dey do with past impossible tense. Wetin him dey do now.?? Person wey dem use seat belt tie for bench.

Wetin dis one dey yan?

E better make em take seat belt tie for Bentley (Liverpool) dan made him dey roll expired tyre(Porto 2) with bear hands.

andrew444:
Pogba was world class at juventus and regular

Oya ask your self if solanke was world class at Chelsea and regular ?

Oga solanke signed for Liverpool upon the expiration of his Chelsea contract so what are you saying ? It's a free transfer man stop lying

Okay it no b free transfer now much them buy am ?

Being truthful will not kill you okay,abi na 20 million pounds Liverpool buy am ?

Please tell me something I don't know

CHELSEA ACCEPT LIVERPOOL’S OFFER FOR DOMINIC SOLANKE

2 months ago 34,861 reads 2 min read
Michael Regan/Getty Images Sport


Liverpool have finally agreed a fee with Chelsea for Dominic Solanke, a year after he left the Blues, as reported by the Echo.

The fee will remain undisclosed, although it seems a compromise has been met at a valuation between the £3m which Liverpool wanted to pay and the £10m that Chelsea were asking for.

Solanke had been in the youth set-up at Chelsea since 2004 but made just one first-team appearance for them before his contract expired.

Julian Finney/Getty Images SportJulian Finney/Getty Images Sport

He decided that a move away from Stamford Bridge was in his best interests and his decision seemed to be justified as he made 27 appearances for the Reds, albeit with most of those coming from the substitutes bench.

Chelsea and Liverpool have been locked in talks about the compensation for Solanke for over a year and it looked like the issue was about to be taken to the Professional Football Compensation Committee.

However, the two sides can now put the issue to bed and look forward to the rest of the summer transfer window.

TheSuperNerd:
In our CM/DM roles, we are stacked with Options so Billing may have to wait a bit longer (also consider he needs to siwtch allegiance). He cannot displace Ndidi, Etebo or even an Onazi at this point. Those lads are way ahead of Billing in talent and experience.

But for our AM role, K.Nwakali is an option and can prove a savvy one too. This is why when you ask why Billing was not called up and why Nwakali was called up... It only exposes your little or no understanding of what Rohr is trying to accomplish or address.

Billing offers nothing creatively so would it be wise to call him up because he plays for Huddersfield in the EPL when we already have more than enough CM/DM guys? See? Think man... Think.

Billing's time will come but right now, we got another midfield matter to try address and Billing is not suited for it.

Na WA ooooo. Billing is less talented. Hmm

What is an independent observer's opinion? Whoscored ratings below.

andrew444:
Free transfer from Chelsea,and he is British so he can be given a try.

He also got a good World Cup,which is the u20 World Cup.

Are you trying to tell me all the players Liverpool buy are good players ? Or all the players purchased by a certain clubs are good players ?

Solanke was not purchased with money.

If he is that good why did Chelsea not offer him a new contract ? Just the way they offer loftus cheek a new contract? If I am not mistaken they are both English boys and they are from the youth team.

Solanke will not even make others team in Epl bench

Solanke didn't go to Liverpool for free. Even if he went for free, what is problem? Pogba no go Juventus for free?

Chelsea offered him a new contract but he refused to sign.

Yes! Dominic Solanke will not make other teams EPL bench but where is Liverpool? Afghanistan league!? Hello! Look below

Mickael2:
Toh we have been hearing since that he didn't have enough time to impress, but somehow he got 296 minutes out of a possible 810 which means he played for 37% of the time, if you can't achieve a single assist from the said time as an attacking midfielder then we have a problem.

Another issue is that he is playing as a side midfielder in Porto B now, in the long run will he be our saviour in the AMF position?

That's why I cross-check things I read here before I believe.

Honestly, he failed woefully in the Eredivisie and doesn't deserve to be called for the ATM match in the first place ahead of better players last season.

TheSuperNerd:
Lol... What is false in saying that Solanke underwhelmed in over 20 games with more than enough game time? While Nacho in same season was excellent in far less game time? Was that not the Nacho-Solanke debate back then? SO WHAT IS FALSE?

And yes, just a slight error of counts, Kelechi started ONLY THREE GAMES. Even that 45 mins in that record is him coming in as a sub in second half. 3 mere starts scattered throughout... What is that? AND DID HE LOSE ANY GAME IN HIS STARTS? NO!! So what nonsense are you even saying about the lad?

It only bites you that Solanke's obviously average season in the eredivisie is so true. And you wanna use K.Nwakali, who had the littlest of game times in comparison, as cover to make Solanke excellent when he was actually poor or being more lenient, bang average.
Abeg... I don't repeat discussions I have had ages ago and buried. Fact remains K.Nwakali never got enough game time to show his stuff even after scoring on his debut.. what is 15 and 14 mins in your next two games after impressing in your first Cameo? Huh? Lol... Using K.Nwakali to promote the mediocre season Solanke had is bullcrap. I CANNOT HAVE THIS DISCUSSION. IT DOESN'T MAKE SENSE.

Okay, if Solanke had been so "excellent" all this while, what is he doing languishing outside Liverpool's match day squads week in week out? Huh? Falsehood indeed... Lol

Abeg bye bye... I got better things doing.

Telling us a 17 years old boy who contributed to 8 goals in TWENTY FIVE matches with MOTM underwhelmed is fallacious.

If Solanke was average why Liverpool buy am and still retain am until now?

Kelechi Nwakali was given chances but he didn't perform. EOD

komekn:
I am part of this debate, but my perspective is not emotive, sentimental, subjective and or discriminatory.

My position is for an EQUITABLE, SCORE CARD ASSESSMENT BASE ON MERIT , WHICH IS UNDERPINNED BY CONSISTENT, CONTINUOUS, OUTSTANDING PERFORMANCE in your club and or league.

The term SPECIAL TALENT is being thrown around as if its something that is the exclusive preserve of one person to IDENTIFY and RECOGNISE. Rohr is not the person behind the inclusion of Kelechi alone, so stop making assumptions.

The question is raised is what is SPECIAL TALENT, so going back to basics as some seem to have convoluted the discussion, what is special
= exceptional, particular, extra special, unusual, marked, singular, uncommon, notable, noteworthy, remarkable, outstanding, etc. etc. about Kelechi


Putting matter into context of football the context of World football, is Kelechi any of these things in the NOW and HERE , CURRENTLY SPEAKING Talent and special are not constants they either go up or down. Last years talent can be this years failure, such is the nature of football.

I noticed that some have underpinned their deduction of Kelechi Nwakali talent on media reports, which are also fluid and time limited as well. Specifically the Spanish media MARCA which in 2017 had Kelechi in position number 45 -- http://www.marca.com/en/football/international-football/album/2017/03/26/58d7b20d468aebf6188b459a.html The report was dated early 2017 and was underpinned by Kelechi exploits in the U17. That report by MARCA is no longer tenable its history, of all the players they highlighted some way ahead of Kelechi most are still playing b team football.


So what makes him Kelechi SPECIAL He went to Eredivisie, considering his high billing and expectation calling a spade a spade he failed , then he dropped to the 2nd tier of Dutch football and also failed to make an impression, he is now playing in Porto B, he is now 20 years old. He played in a holiday game against ATM non competitive and did ok. He scored that doesn't mean he was exceptional or outstanding. It is one game that's all , players are judged over a season or at least a few competitive games . Considering the evidence proven and substantiated he is not by any stretch of the imagination SPECIAL TALENT



He was undeservedly called up not by merit to play in a game to give him justification for the SE. The more balanced and pertinent question is if you played Ajagu, Aluko, Ejaria, Onomah, Aneke, Akpan, Ojo, Eze, etc , etc they probably would have done a lot better. However, they were denied OPPORTUNITY.

This happens a lot in football in England some players are denied OPPORTUNITY in preference for their favoured player because of the inducement of self interest i.e. back- hander.

Maybe a few years ago Kelechi won accolades and was rightly considered promising and special talent. But he is 20 years old now and the promises have not been fulfilled and his once special talent is no longer special. There are far better players even younger showing better potential.

I have seen hundreds of players like Kelechi up and down the top academies who cost ten times more even played first team football for EPL clubs. But a few years down the line they are playing non- league and trying to make there way back up.

Which is not a bad thing its better to be playing non league and be outstanding and make your way upwards than growing dust as an old youth with promise playing youth football in the name of Porto B. Porto B will struggle in the Conference North of non league that is how low it is.

If we ask these peeps the definition of special talent? Na Kelechi Nwakali, Chidiebere Nwakali, Samuel Chuchwueze etcetera hence dey deserved to be called to the national team.

Now, ask dem where are these 'SPECIAL TALENTS' doing exploits? Lower divisions or obscure leagues.

No doubt Samuel is a gene and a special one indeed but common sense will tell you there are players doing better than him in better leagues hence doesn't deserve a call now.

In fact, I doubt a special talent like him will remain in lowly league for long if he continues with outstanding performance in such league.

Dele Ali moved from league 1 to EPL straight after outstanding performances. Lookman moved from obscure league to championship, to EPL and now £25 million was not enough to price him away from Everton. Onyekuru moved from Belgium second tier to Anderlecht and now Galatassary within the space of 3 seasons. Now, that's what I call special talent. Unlike one who couldn't live up to expectations in a lowly Eredivisie second tier yet dem wan make I believe na special talent and he deserves to be called to the national team ahead of players doing better than him.

I see wayo people coined the word Special talent to get some certain players into the national team through the back doors devoid of merit and si unit standard of measurement of excellence.

This kain of mago mago can lead to war if people perceive some peeps are playing on people's intelligence. Enough said.

TheSuperNerd:
Egbon... You know me. I choose my discussions. I won't go down this path okay. K.Nwakali never got a full game at VVV. He was never given a chance in nine games aiit. Only two of his games were mere starts (which saw him contribute to their win and draw) while the rest were time scraps of 14, 15, 11 mins and so on + he scored on his debut. He is a Midfielder... But Solanke on the other hand... Well, I think you should be more worried about his absence from Liverpool's matchday squads these days... I guess that says much for his high quality. Ciao. **Clicks**

Then stop passing falsehood. Ok!

Kelechi Nwakali started 3 games.

What did Kelechi Nwakali do with the three starts out of the 9 games he played?

How can I worry about a player who moved from Vitesse straight to Liverpool?

I think we should worry about a player who moved from Eredivisie to Dutch division and now to Segunda Liga. A league lower than Socttich league.

comodo:
I get am before no be property.

It is good you use your brain.

How does debunking fat lies in regards to pass event relates to current event?

Na wa for you ooooo.

TheSuperNerd:
Yeah, something special by leaving him out of matchday squads... I can see how special that is. Lol

And in the eredivisie, Solanke, as a striker, was less than impressive abeg. I remember when The Nacho-Solanke debate was on and we established the simple fact that Solanke underwhelmed in more minutes of football while Nacho excelled in lesser minutes of football.

And since the eredivisie journey, how exactly has he progressed? By being constantly frozen out of matchday squads? Is that your idea of Progress?

Did Kelechi Nwakali win one MOTM in the Eredivisie? Mbanu!

Did Dominic win one MOTM in the Eredivisie? See for yourself.

7 goals and one assist in 24 games from a 17 years old lad just coming from an academy tells alot.

No wonder Chelsea retained him the next season. The rest dey say his history.

Humility017:
are you here to promote your players or to support the super eagles?
everyone knows if God himself was to draw up that list for Seychelles you will still complain

please chill...bro

What an unintelligent question?

Next time, find out the root of the matter then you will know who is supporting 'ya' players or super eagles. Nonsense.
