Not so good, but they all did better than kayode

Joebie:
I agree @ bolded. Especially after he made that "headless chicken" remark.

tbaba1234:
Simy Nwankwo is benefitting from a steady run of games... In the last 2 seasons, he has barely started games.. With the new coach, he is starting and the goals are flowing. It is similar to Iheanacho, he returned to form when he was getting a run of games instead of 15 minutes at the end.

Simy was quite prolific in Portugal.

With a player like Simy, you can cross the ball if you are struggling to penetrate.. He does well with floated balls.

Based on what, i have seen, I think he will be a good option but it will be hard for him to make the 23. He needs to make an impression when called upon.

I like the look of him.

ykalhaji:
It depends. You know how many fights your opinion don cause for this thread? Lol... But it made the thread more addictive.

Chrismario:
Not that he don't need him. The truth is that Kayode's season is not wonderful

edi287:
The case of Simy is Rohr trying out a different profile upfront. He's different to the likes of Ighalo, Nacho, etc. Someone that'll be useful in set pieces. Simy was chosen over Umar, Onachu, etc. Lokosa got the nod over Kayode, Nwakaeme, Onyekuru etc.
I can understand putting him in to appease NPL fans, I just feel maybe we could've used that spot to try out a creative tricky player like Kalu. I have only seen YT vids of him and haven't gleaned out enough to see how good he is.

ykalhaji:
I hail all the regulars ooo, finally the destination of the over 3000 pages is almost reached. I was waiting for chief forgiveness's analysis, although boss has a very dismissive attitude he never dissapoints. Eze is a waste of space, the Lokosa experiment could have being pushed till our next Afcon qualifier. It is not a time for tryouts. But like I said a couple months ago, Rohr had made up his mind on his selection tey tey. Quick question what is everybody's take on Moses Simon ?

Martz101:
All this rant because Aluko was not invited

Luckyroro:
Hmm. Omeruo is not too solid but not to be compared with a rookie who hasn't proved his mettle when the chips are down. For the records, Omeruo was outstanding in our 2013 Afcon conquest

Humility017:
rohr does not know him...to be honest.
the suggestion/input from our local coaches puts him there.

Humility017:
my brother... that dude name on that list is yusuf salisu and alloy agu handwork...

though would have preferred kayode...
because lakosa hasn't really prove to me to better than onmitted guys like kayode and umar sadiq...

but still you and I know he won't make the final cut....

Humility017:
if you say so....there is wisdom in your words.
I am.always scared whenever omeruo is on the pitch.... to be honest.

Humility017:
exactly my brother...
I was waiting for sir forgiveness epistle... he never disappoints.
may be sir komekn will give us his tomorrow.
that's the beauty of this thread... we all don't reason in same direction...there is always disparities in our opinion.. but still we shouldn't allow our individual opinion beclound our sense of reason for the team's progress.

andrew444:
Brazil listed their 23 man list with no back up,it will be better if Nigeria has done so,we already know who is going to the World Cup,some people on this thread are already ranting,no matter how they rant who no go go World Cup no go go

charlesemeka85:
and also it seem you hid at the back of efe to mention arokoyo's name because a true super eagles fan wont mention that name here let alone agitating for his inclusion to a major tournament as the fifa world cup. eze is young at has all it takes to develop to a top defender in europe, where is arokoyo playing bros?

charlesemeka85:
oga if you no like the 30 man list you can create yours! eze was a bonafide member of the chan eagles and distinguished himself in the competition. giving him a chance is normal because rohr monitored that chan team closely and he even had the lad during the team friendlies against poland and serbia which signifies he likes something about his game. what have your arokoyo done since leaving the mls where he wasn't deemed good enough? where is he playing now self hahahahahahahahaha
so kayode should be listed on the by ground that he proved himself in last seasons europa league? chai see reasoning hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahah. tribalism don finish you bros

charlesemeka85:
good reply man! and where is arokoyo plying his trade now? a times tribalism tend to allow sentiment to cloud some individuals sense of reasoning and judgement. so the Austrian league is now a big league and kayode's performance last season should be a yard stick to have his name on the list? he got a bring break to make a case for himself when he joined girona on loan from city but what was the outcome? so because he is trying to rediscover his form in Ukraine by scoring 3 or 4 goals he now deserves a place in russia? lakosa's inclusion is testament of his good form and also a way to appreciate the local league. him making the 30 man list doesn't mean he has automatic slot in the final 23 but will have to prove himself before the gaffer to get a nod.

Sainty92:
Your calling Rohr a daft coach shows ur manners. You don't appreciate good things. I wont go further arguing with such mentality. Use your hand to add Gbenga Arokoyo to d list na

Taliban:
First of all (not asking you to go down low) no vex oga mi. Your first and second paragraphs implied that there's a reason for the 35 man list except if you don't u understand what you wrote yourself sir. I remain humble sir. Twale Baba!!!!!

Sainty92:
Seriously , i hardly quote u even if ur posts annoys me sometimes. But i cant help but quote dis. Why do u want Rohr to destroy the chemistry of dis team? Few days to world cup and he should start inviting all the Arokoyo(or God knows where u get these names from)? Leave the team to continue with its chemistry please! You are talking about Lokosa? If you are a coach, can u ignore someone with 18goals in 21matches? Dat is why it is a 30man list. If he doesn't show dat form in training, he will be dropped from the final list. On Kayode, which top league did he prove himself? So Austria league is now better than the Italian league where Simy is banging goals recently? The only league kayode performed was Austria. Wat happened wen he came to Laliga? he flopped. Until his late renaissance in Ukraine which was a little too late. Sir, sometimes when i read ur partial quotes, i feel u are one of these players agent or the players themselves. Please dnt disrupt the chemistry of this team with ur Ajagun, Arokoyo or late Yekini. Rohr knows atleast his best 21 players. Just one or two spots to be decide. Its just few days to worldcup to start inviting all ur players. If they are good, we have Afcon qualifiers after the worldcup. Tanks

Taliban:
Well said. Why 30 when we could have listed 35. I think Brazil and Iceland that named 23 players, Egypt and Croatia who all named less than 35 players have been infected with the Nigerian way, what a pity. As Ras Kimono said what a smelly sh....

elyte89:
Onyekuru,dressers, fans ....AW MARKET




NOW @BOSS KOMEKN,FORGIVENESS

ALL UR CANDIDATES,RIGHT FROM ALUKO,AJAGUN,MARTINS,ONOMAH,NO MAKE D LIST


UNA try for dem sha anyway, from page 1-3501,una use campaign for d players mentioned above,e no easy


And for sir chriskels my personal person,umar no dey

Famocious:
The 30 man list is out.. Check nnf twitter handle

TheSuperNerd:
Two trophies in the bag for Kayode...the Ukrainian FA Cup title and now the League title. And if he remains with Shahktar, he will be in the UCL next season too...

Congrats Larry Kayode...

tbaba1234:
Abeg, make them bench am for that game.

Humility017:
and when ladan bosso and John obuh were using professional league players...what came out of it...?
you're talking as if the victory we crave for...are just for the short term...

you've said it several times... that it is only in Africa that we take this cadet team trophies seriously...but wait why can't we do same here.... and see this cadet team as a avenue to harness talents who could make their way into football reckoning years from now....

chrisooblog:
Forgiveness trust you but you are right let's not underestimate our penchant for doing wuru wuru when things are seemingly going smoothly.

As for rohr choosing to name 30 players I have no issue as long as the right 23 are picked in the end

Kog45:
Pls don't let forgiveness see this o.

Kog45:
Thanks got relegated that season but i remember Yekini joined setubal half of the season.

Kog45:
Yekini was a leading scorer for eagles before he moved to Vitoria Setubal in Portuguese division two then getting Europe deal for Africans exvept few francophone countries was a huge task.
