Mujtahida:
What sort of thinking is this? Lure him with a slot for the WC? Is that it? I like a good team full of young talented players but the moment you create slots, automatic slots you have destroyed the team. If you are told that Iheanacho has an automatic slot you'd bristle and whine but here you are advocating automatic slot for Torunarigha. Mind you I want him and Uduokhai but it should not be automatic. Let them come and passionately hustle for a place in the team.

Hahahahahah! Na because of that you come dey para?

Cool down.

Now, let us use our common sense.

If Balogun or Ekong get injured during a game at the world cup, who comes in for them and who will sit on the bench?

Is it Omeruo or Awaziem?

The point is that Rohr is still searching for a CB despite the fact that he knows Awaziem and Omeruo. And he's doing everything possible to get one of those Germans.

Are they Uduokhai and Torunarigha better options?

Now, let now talk about luring.

Why is Rohr after these boys? What is he using to entice them? Just come and train with us boys?

Well. Think am well.

isan:
How is ebuehi more experienced?

He has being playing regularly in the Eredivise for 3-4 straight seasons.


Besides, he is also good.

chrisooblog:
please post leicester city table position during that period

The fact of the matter is dominic and abraham are lagging behind now

I don't care what its means for dominic to be on the liverpool bench after all he was on the chelsea match as well

The first snapshot is the stats of Kelechi Iheanacho.

6 goals with 3 assists

The second is the snapshot of Tammy Abraham's stats.

7 goals with 5 assists.

Now, who is ahead of who?

I am not here to destroy any player but to present facts on ground.

No problems bro. We pray and hope for the best.

How the family and work nah? Do av a nice weekend

We are good and we thank God for that? Hope you doing good too?

Thanks anyway.

LieDetector:
I greet everyone here. Been busy for a while now so my participation has been restricted to short cameos as a guest.

I want to state explicitly that I'm all for form and not experience. I'm not Rohr apparently but on Echiejile's invitation, I reckon the friendlies will serve as the last chance for him to stake a claim. If he flops, then he should kiss Russia goodbye. It sounds absurd taking to the world cup a player plying his thread in a belgium second divison and still finding it hard to make the team on matchdays and leaving out top talents in other top divisions. It's corruption and not destabilizing team cohesion as some would say.

I concur with your assertion.

Kog45:
Sir lure him with a slot for WC?

Is that not what NFF is trying to do?

Sir, we don't have better substitutes for our defence. He is a good option for back up or starting eleven.

asha80:
seriously?

Can you please tell me what you know that is right or wrong about what I said?

TheSuperNerd:
Hertha BSC, Germany Coaches Tell Torunarigha : You Have A Future With Germany Not Nigeria


https://www.allnigeriasoccer.com/football_pics/98982Jordan.jpg


The German Football Association are prepared to do battle with their Nigerian counterparts over the services of highly-rated Hertha Berlin central defender Jordan Torunarigha.

Germany U21s manager Stefan Kuntz and Hertha Berlin coach Pal Dardai hope he refuses the offer from the Nigerian Federation to represent the Super Eagles at the 2018 World Cup, and added that he has a future with Germany's senior national team.

''Jordan is a top player, who absolutely convinced me. He has a great left foot and his development is far from over. I did not nominate him for nothing again,'' said Kuntz, who invited Torunarigha for the upcoming games against Israel and Kosovo, to German newspaper B.Z .

Pal Dardai is on the same page as Kuntz, and said : ''The World Cup is certainly a great opportunity for him.

''But maybe it is better for the development, if he goes through the U21 at the DFB. Maybe then it works with the German national team.''

Jordan's father Ojokojo Torunarigha played twelve matches for Nigeria's national team.

Russia 2018 WC Countdown: 89 days 4 hours to go

I hope he plays for us and to do that we have to lure him with a slot for the world cup.

eterisan:
the world cup will be his last outing in the gwg I feel.... If I where Rohr... Ebuehi will be the one to miss out... Idowu's Russian connect will come in handy and ainá can cover right back for shehu.... Difficult decision.... But I am not Rohr.... So we wait and see..

Ebuehi miss out!? No No No.

Ebuehi is a more experienced player than Aina. I expect him to go to the world Cup.

However, let us wait until after the friendlies.

ChrisKels:
Lol big head, make we dey look sha. Like I told Da Nerdy bwoy few pages back, it's a possibility.

I know whatchu driving at though

Hahahahahah! You! No ya head big pass.

Honestly, I am not driving at anything. I am just curious to know how things dey for that end.

Hahahaha! Na after I wrote finish na em I realised wey your mind dey. No No No.. No think am go that side.

chrisooblog:
based on your original post was leicester city relegation threatened yes or no?

Has KC's form not picked up?

Where are abraham and dominic form wise right now?

You mean Leicester wasn't relegation threatened as at the time I made that post?

Whether picked up or not, is/was Iheanacho bench warmer or not? Answer....Yes or No.


As at the time of that post, Tammy Abraham and Dominic Solanke were in a better position.

Currently, is Iheanacho's form better than Abraham?

Solanke is still making the bench for Liverpool. I think you know what that means?

ChrisKels:
MetalJigsaw please we all leave our personal lives out of this thread, it's really childish coming here to tell us what u do outside here. Yesterday , u played nairabet, today u got urself intoxicated, maybe tmrw u go tell us how many minutes u last in bed. Please keep these things to urself, we don't need them here. Dey respect urself biko..

Ehmmm!! Please, have those two boys agreed to play for us?

Have they started the.? .... U know na.

You know say we be padi.

eterisan:
egbon...... I dr even forget the genesis, malachi and revelation of the matter. ...... Lolz.... Trust me I can't succumb to nothing.... I really enjoyed my convo on ndidi with asha80, daejoyoung, lzaa, elyte89, TheGoodJoe, plus some other monikers I have forgotten...... Wety concern me who relevant and who nr relevant for this thread... Who nairaland popularity help...... Pardon my pidgin.... It's just my style..............

On a side note... I don't knw why I have this gut feeling that echeijile will be on the plane to Russia........ It is not fair on team chemistry to drop him for idowu who has just one cap as well as ainá or ebuehi.... The guy was the only left back we had for ages.... He just can't be dropped can he....

It's well. Just feel free. We are all one.

I also have the sentiment of Echiejile going to the world Cup based on experience but I want to see him again in those friendlies before I draw conclusion.

chrisooblog:
do we all remember this gem of a post from forgiveness this life sha �

forgiveness:
Let me borrow una words 4 here. I get am before no be property.

Iheanacho is now a bench warmer in a relegated threatened club. Let us say the thruth.

Which market value Iheanacho wan get pass Tammy and Solanke? Oga, em value son dive nose pata pata.

Statically speak, Tammy is one of the top goal scorers in the EPL while Solanke is still in a better club than Iheanacho.

Looking at the bolded not subjectively but critically.

Is/was Iheanacho not a bench warmer? Answer, Yes or No?

Is Iheanacho value what it was when he was in Manchester City? Answer, Yes or No.

Sainty92:
So u mean Owen Hargreaves wasn't a success in Bayern Munich, Nor David Beckham a success in Madrid, Milan and PSG or Probably Michael Owen was Scottish wen he played for Madrid?

They are from Afghanistan oh.... Somalia.

eterisan:
The funny lot two posters above should take a hike then. ...claiming relevance ontop an anonymous forum.... I weak for this two children... Safarigirl and thesupernerd ... Sincerely I lost the respect of had for elder chief sir kog45 when he endorsed that statement. . ..... Well this thread belongs to you guys. .... With all the relevance in the world. ....... Whatever gives you a sense of satisfaction and fulfillment.. .... Wety concern me..... Apologies again if I am derailing...

Addressing the bolded. Point of correction, this thread doesn't belong to anybody. It belongs to all including yourself.


However, I don't know what transpired between you guys because I couldn't catch up with the pace of things here on this thread hence the need to skip most pages and continue with my previous discussion.

Having said that, If you think you didn't insult first before been insulted first, then it's civil to prove it by quoting/posting the post you were accused of and the post you think or believe you were firstly insulted. It's after that many will be clarified on the issue on ground even if they don't altar any word afterwards.


Moreover, how could you be so sure she reported his post?

If you are not too sure or if you are sure but have no proof, I will advice you don't comment on it.

In addition, be yourself and don't mind who is with you or against you because if you begin to give in or succumb to intimidations, you will lose your right sense of judgement. Fear no foes.

You can be mild if you want but you can also be cruel to whosoever is cruel to you here provided your cruelty is in accordance with the rules and regulations of this reputable forum because if don't, na Ban you go dey chop.

Anyway, not everybody here are follow follow, that I can assure you.

Daejoyoung:
.
Where in heaven's name are you leading us? Make your point precisely, would ya!
The arguement was that English players who play or has played for the English national team hardly excel outside England. You named a Scottish and Welsh player( who both play in separate national football teams) , you have been corrected already, but all you do is ask questions leading us nowhere in particular.
Just hit the nail on the fvcking head.

Based on the bolded, you don't have the locus standi in this argument because your assertions are far apart from the substance itself.

Where did he write 'English players who has played for the national team' as seen below?

realpoacher:
EPL fan boys how far?

What do you have to say about Football.....extremely good football existing outside England?

What do you have to say about kick & follow, brute, rush rush, power, and 'anywhere belle face' football?

What do you have to say about Spanish teams dominating and winning the UCL 8 times in 18 years since 2000s?

What do you have to say about having an all spanish finals 4 times out of those years?

what do you have to say concerning spanish teams dominating the Europa leagues all those years too?

Or would you say that the second top half of the EPL cant stand toe -to- toe with their spanish counterpath?


when we tell you that football doesnt start and end in England , you lots wont hear...SMH

When we tell you to remove your tongues from the English ass, you lots wont hear


Ever wondered why no English descent or bred players never survived in other leagues?

the answer is simple....The English dont know how to play football....Their football orientation is wack therefore it cannot survived outside England.

Take Raheem Sterling to Spain, Germany, Italy and watch him flop

take Harry Kane to Spain, Germany, Italy, France and Portugal and watch him become a shadow of himself....this is not me being bais, rather the results are there for all to see...from Beckam, to others in the time past,....no English player ever succeeded outside England....FACT!!! Outsiders succed in England but not English players succeeding in other countries. Yet some English fan boys wants me to take football in England serious..... tufiaka....that aint happenning

For so long, Lampard was lured out to other leagues, He refused to go..., ofcourse he couldnt because he then what awaited him


i have said it before and i will keep saying it.......the only reason why top English teams beat top teams from the backwater leagues is POWER & PACE!

With power & pace they bulldozed their way through those poor teams from the 'backwater leagues' while feeling 'funky' like they have arrived... But when they meet their mates, the top teams of the other 5 top tier leagues then they crumble like a pack of cards.

Do you know why they crumble?


They crumble because they met their match in Power & Pace but they fall short of TECHNICALITY, INTELLIGENCE, FOOTBALL SENSE

Yes!....English football lacks technicality, inteligence and football sense. They have no football sense whatsoever, thats why they play kick and follow football, thats why they play 'anywhere belle face' football.

Presently only Pep is playing football in England and the difference is clear. They say la liga is a two horse race yet they cant even beat the others left behind by Madrid & Barca. ...Doesnt tell you that if all English teams were in the Laliga, they will all be playing catch up too?

They say Bayern munich cannot win premeirship with 5 matches to spare,...the same Pep who was in charge of Bayern then is in charge of Man city today, see how all other premiership teams are gasping at straws.

They say la liga is boring but the EPL is the most competetive, the most exciting interesting, bla bla bla.... and i ask, why wont it seem interesting when 19 average teams slugging it out in mediocrity week in week out with the ever reliable English press acting as an event ORATOR praising them to high heavens, decieving them, keeping them perpetually disillusioned.

I repaet, English football in its original terms is CRAP!

The EPL is what it is today because of the Foreigners in it,... Take the Foreigners out of it and it will become like ukrainian league or the Turkish league at best

Did those arguing blindly read the post with assimilation?

What is the meaning of the bolded?

What is the bone of contention?

No 1. 'English descent'

No 2. 'of English bred players'

Now, tell me, where did Gareth Bale falls into?

The bone of contention is anything that is in connection with the English either by proximity or whatsoever.

I have already said that they are same based on the content/context realpoacher wrote but I too know people dey run to dey correct. I repeat, those who are too forward in this regard are ignoramous. GBAM!

Now, please, answer those questions.

MetalJigsaw:
like who?

Onyekuru and Olayinka. Both are ahead of him in the Belgium pro league.

somehow:
Calling bale alone English is ignorance.

forgiveness:
Na de same thing dem be.

Where did you see me call Bale English?

I said the same. Now, ask why?

Loogan:
Quick question my brothers.
Of all the top talents coming through the SE Who are the top three youngsters less than 22, whom you guys feel has the highest POTENTIAL based on talent, mentality and ability? there are too many exciting young talents but I would like to get you guys opinion?
NB Putting thier all round game into consideration and not based on current performance or playing position.
In no particular order

KELECHI NWAKALI(his class on the ball and vision is the closest Iv seen to okochas! Confident, and he's a beauty to watch, certainly going to be a world class someday

HENRY ONYEKURU(his dribblings are already mesmerizing enough plus his deadly finishing, he's too special)

ETEBO(choose him over nacho coz with his style of play there's no club he can't play for, also has so plenty strengths in his game, his potential is frightening)

Kelechi Nwakali is not close to Mikel Obi not to talk of Okocha baba.

Wilfred Ndidi is the overall Oga for now. Etebor and Onyekuru are not in his level for now.

I which he goes to Liverpool or Arsenal. Arsenal because that team can be the best in the world with the kind of players they have if they have a better coach. Men! I almost fell in love with them yesterday with the way they dispantled the inform Ac Milan team that just had their second defeat in many matches. I am not sure though.

[quote author=congo4ka post=65888118][/quote].



Hahahaha!

andrew444:
I was wrong he came 5th,Bt pogba is not a world class player and you know it,maybe you be man you fan that's why you no go admit,pogba is not world class,he is clueless in the Man U team.

ACCORDING TO FIFA WORLD PLAYER rating and he came 5th but you think your opinion matters in the face of all the whole wide World judgement.

It's well.

MetalJigsaw:
Samuel Kalu is one guy I think deserves a chance in the SE more than any other player that is yet to be invited by coach Rohr. I never really watched that guy play until recently, and I could behold a deadly winger with enormous confidence, Skill, pace, trickery, goal threat and unpredictability.

In him, I saw another victor Moses in red-hot form. I dare not argue with people who state his superiority/quality over Simon.

Simon is Also a good winger but Kalu seems to be more deadlier with the advantage of goals threat and his current blazing form which is not on Simon's side currently.

This (Kalu ) is one player I've kept praying in my mind for Rohr to notice him ( if he's yet to) and invite him.

There are still some players ahead of him.

andrew444:
So pogba is 5th world best player in the world? Please wake up from your dream,pogba that has never make top 10 in ballon d or in his life,where did you get your news from ? Maybe you got that news from oshogbo fm

Well, we are all still learning.

Now, where did you get your news from?

congo4ka:
Forgiveness is a well known sociopath and woman beater ask safariwoman!!!! Please be careful with him

Hahahahahah! I see.

Women don't go to prison for any crime they commit because they are women. I see.

andrew444:
Pogba is not a world class player,maybe top quality,is pogba a game changer?

If the 5th best player in the world is not world class then who is World class? Ndidi?

elyte89:
What's d difference BTW high and top quality?

Hahahahahah! Me I know know ooooooo.

TheSuperNerd:
Uhmmmm... Sir Mujtahida. Please this has nothing to do with your discussion with Forgiveness oooo... I just wanna point out a little something on the bolded....

In London 2012, Team Great Britain (other wise called UK) presented a football team that had welsh and English footballers mainly dominating the team. But that Team GB represented all four home nations of UK (Wales, England, Northern Ireland and Scotland). Now this was a one-off and it is even unlikely that we may see Team GB play Olympic qualifiers because in international football circles outside the Olympics, England, Wales, Northern Ireland and Scotland all have their individual national teams and will find it very difficult reaching a compromise sef.


Also at the Olympics, we see more of Great Britain in other sports but never England, Scotland, Northern Ireland or Wales. Citizens of all four UK home nations (and the three crown depedencies- going deeper) compete under the GB flag (UK flag) in the Olympics.

But at the Commonwealth games, Wales compete under its own flag. Same with England, Scotland and Northern Ireland.


Just wanted to clear that. So uhmmm.. Nothing more to be said on my part. Just a little something I needed to point out.

Bravo. Thanks man.

But I know what I am heading to.

Mujtahida:
Forgiveness let this be the last time you will insult me. On this thread I am confident that I have never dished out bareface insult to anybody and if I have I am sure upon my attention being called to it, I apologised. You called me ignoramus in your post before this, I tactically shoved it. Now the bolded. Cos I see absolutely no need for insults in my exchanges with you. Don't EVER insult me again. Be warned.

@all, you guys are witnesses to the crude and needless insult by forgiveness cos if I go the road he wants me to go on this thread, you guys will be surprised cos its mud I going to pour out and it will surely foul up this place. I don't tolerate insults to my person especially in this instance where I have been as civil in my exchange with him.

Mujtahida:
Stop this Bro. Realpoacher says no English player has succeeded outside England. You mentioned some names and erroneously included Bale a Welshman and Lambert a Scot. Instead of you to accept your error when it was pointed out to you, you began talking UK and displaying your monstrous ignorance by saying they are not the same. Did realpoacher mention UK?
A Welsh is different from an English man. They speak different languages. A Scot is different from an Englishman. They speak different languages. They are different nationalities. The UK has never played one single sports competition. Not even one. But England, Scotland, Wales, Ireland are known in sports circles. Accept your error. It's pardonable.

What is the meaning of the bolded?

somehow:
This is so shameful of you. Your ignorance is smelling so bad I had to close my nose.

Can you please tell me the ignorance that making you to close your nose?

TheGoodJoe:
England has tagged behind due to their illusion of believing that huff, puff, Kick and follow football was their identity. However, with the step up in promoting good technical football in the EPL, with the likes of Guardiola, Klopp, Conte and others, the English team will get better. The challenge they have in sticking to managers that play the old English brand of football while lots of their top players play under possessive managers.
Their academies are also promoting good football and with time, England will produce better quality players.

Tagged behind in what area?
