Adarabioyo is just speculation, he's never played up to 10 league games we can't tell how good he is

Magink:
Seems like the German boys rejected our advances cos I do not understand why the FA are going after adarabioyo, he's a bench warmer at City for crying out loud. Nawa o

Kog45:
Wack?Tosin i saw during pre season is not wack and his few appearances this season not EPL showed that he has a great future as centre back.

Manchester City starlet Tosin Adarabioyo at centre of tug-of-war between England and Nigeria

Manchester City starlet Tosin Adarabioyo is at the centre of an international tug-of-war between England and Nigeria.
The highly-rated central defender has been tipped for senior international honours and represented England juniors all the way up to Under-19 level.
However, the 20-year-old is being targeted by Nigeria, his country of heritage.

Adarabioyo was made available for loan by City during the final 48 hours of the transfer window following the signing of Aymeric Laporte.
But a deal failed to materialise with the youngster named on the bench by Pep Guardiola for City’s win over West Brom on Wednesday night.
The Super Eagles had planned to watch Adarabioyo play sustained senior football before deciding whether to tempt him with a place in their World Cup squad.

Nevertheless, Nigeria’s concrete interest in Adarabioyo remains, leaving the Football Association in a fight to keep hold of the defender, who has made seven first-team appearances for City.

Nigeria have successfully persuaded Victor Moses and Alex Iwobi, who have both played for England at junior level, to change their international allegiance in recent years.
Players are only fully committed to a nation once they’ve played a competitive fixture.

Funny comments on the comment section of the story.

darkelf:
Even if all are considered, I don't think Rohr will add more than 2 names ( i even believe 2 names is a crowd)

TheSuperNerd:
Nope.... you have already responded. I cannot stop that. All I am saying is, I think you have made your point and did so with emphasis

Now, let us all chill... it is okay Egbon. It is well.

And yeah, I reckon you were indeed very busy shaa... just didn't think the ban was also part of the reason. Haba! wetin ban you sef? You've been a "naughty boy" somewhere else ba? Confess... I just dey look you...

Oya Welcome Back...



Peace too Egbon.

TheSuperNerd:
Egbon Forgiveness.... biko e don do okay. Biko. Sorry about your ban. I was even thinking you were held up in offline matters I.e. real life matters.

See ehn, you and I sit on the opposite sides of the table most times in arguments but I still reckon with you. Biko, e don do okay. Abeg. Thank you Egbon. You know I am being real with you here.....

Oya back to football matters. I said I missed you... na me first run come welcome you... imagine!!!... I run welcome pesin wey I love to spar against... that is because you are fun in many ways and I also enjoy the contributions you bring to the table as regards Super Eagles selection nonetheless even if some may be controversial.

Abeg... na me dey talk now oooo... Egbon at least consider me naa

And biko... Sir Kennysville.... you sef no vex okay. It is well.


Now where were we?

TheGoodJoe:
A good example of handholding of special talents in action was how Gernot Rohr handled the likes of Osimhen, Awaziem and recently Chidiebere Nwakali.

This is a case of the National team playing their part in building talents for the future of the team.

Rohr, I am feeling you,
That is why I say,
Baba Twale

Humility017:
I think you should start acting like a man...
few days you were away this thread was relatively peaceful.... now it has turned to a camotoes...

I think you should be older than me...and some of us.... maturity should tell in words and attitude.

I know long time ago....that mature minds don't fight wit their keyboards nor wit vain words....
you compromise just for peace to reign not because you are weak......

TheGoodJoe:
You can let it slide than continue throwing digs. It will take conscious and collective efforts to return this thread to its known decency. Ignoring jabs and digs has a big part to play.

pussypounder:
Mr Kenny, forgiveness is a well known woman beater, just ignore him please

TheGoodJoe:
This thread used to be a place to escape the divisions on other threads. It was a place you find nairaland members who are civilized and respect each other.

forgiveness, I appeal to you to stop the rash tone and enough of the low digs. Let us restore the decency we used to have.

kennysville:
Those of you that like to mediate.... you are all witnesses now. I am yet to start any tirade on this forum and believe me when I start, it will get really ugly. Yall can read what ur friend here is saying now. If he cant discuss here without resorting to low digs, well it wont be nice. We all know how to throw some sass around. Call him to order ... for the last time

Thanks

Cc: Icons4s, Kog45 , TheGoodJoe, Joebie and others. Forgive me if I dont remember ur moniker

TheSuperNerd:
Alampasu too dey picture oooo.... And this Ajiboye performance is a real marker. He and Ezenwa are practically same height sef....

Alampasu and Uzoho are the real giants in the GK position for the team now. They are tall and are also technically gifted between the sticks. Funny thing is both have cat-like reflexes too like Ajiboye and Ezenwa but all on varying levels.

kennysville:
And I am supposed to counter your long response abi? Its here for all to see. 2 people cannot miss out on a lie. If the person lying doesnt know he is lying, whoeve he is lying to knows. Enjoy your roll and welcome back

oloriooko:
Ademola Lookman Is A New Player Of RB Liepzig On Loan From Everton

Kog45:
Height?I thought him and Ezenwa are of the same height.

tglobal:
At least that will keep you from accusing him of liking Kelechi because "na my broda". One less accusation in your armory. No?

kennysville:
Oga Kog, listen here. This is not about Forgiveness. When he was on a roll, you never said that directly to him. When he came out with his seemingly tribalistic tendencies rubishing Iheanacho while using Kayode , you didnt say nada. Every little discussion and Iheanacho will be the butt end of it all. I am a Yoruba Man. Born and raised in the west. He gave yorubas bad names with his antics. Even went as far as saying Rohr is corrupt. Those who live in glass houses should remember not to throw stones.

That our national team is full of a particular tribe to me is inconsequential. What matters is results. It is insecurity that makes us feel cheated. If you have the value, no o e will dispite it. Let us not mistake patriotism with tribalism. Constructive criticism has both damaging effects as well as uplifting effects. While encouragement will only give rise to upliftment. And if you observe, that has been the way I address this issue. I dont hold any brief for Iheanacho or any super eagles player. Tearing them apart from limb to limb is what I will frown at anyday anytime especially when their quality is not in doubt. (Not talking about Akpeyi here cos he has no biz in the team in the first place)

Our choice of players is made for us according to the coaching crew. This is not Idols or America's Got Talent or Big Brother Nigeria where the audience get to vote who wins or gets eliminated. If it were up to some people, if you no get 6pack or as cute as Iwobi u cant be in the national team. Thank God its not done that way.

Trust me at this state, I would be happy to take anyone who feels contrary on. Enough of tribalism talks and comments aimed at derriding other players so as to promote a supposed beloved player.
Thank you

forgiveness:
First of all, I rate players based on club their play, the League, performance and finally talent.

Based on these criteria, I don't think you can compare Leon Balogun with Kenneth Omeruo nor with Troost-Ekong neither can you compare Kenneth Otigba with Kenneth Omeruo nor Troost-Ekong. No sentiment attached.

Echiejile is currently the best LB Nigerian player in the eyes of the World. Then how can he be worse than Oshaniwa and Madu?

What is the name of Madu's club and where it located in the world map? Chai! I can't see.

I have seen him play several times but I noticed he is not good at defending and he can't withstand physical or skilful players.

In what position does Onazi play in Lazio? Sometimes as an attacking midfielder.

No be dat combination win us AFCON?

John Ogu is very good but very slow for a very fast and mobile midfielder.

Ideye-brown is good but Ighalo for now is better. All he needs is a creative midfielder behind him.

We have Brown Ideye, Kelechi Iheanacho, Odion Ighalo, Anthony Ujah etc na which one Kayode go fit bench?


Rabiu Ibrahim could not take his chances when given hence hmmm! make I never talk. Abdul Ajagun is a baller. Give him the chance and you will see what he is capable of doing.

forgiveness:
In addition, the league and performance is the deciding factor.

Omeruo was consistently good in the the Turkish league but it can't be compared with the Bundesliga and Eredivisie where we have our players. Gbam!

Leon Balogun played consistently for his club this season. He was only restrained due to injury at the end of the season. We know na. He never lost his position due to lack of performance. His statistics are there to see. 21 matches out of....


Who caused the goal against Luxembourg?
Troost-Ekong played very very well for em em.. this season mean he is per with Leon Balogun and Kenneth Otigba. You know know. Levels no be the same.

Wetin do Otigba?

I repeat Onazi had played for Lazio as an attacking midfielder. It was where he played before he was promoted to the senior team. And he played in that position seldomly for Lazio. This one I know because I monitored him after John Obuh lost the finals. I have seen him played in that position.

I have seen Madu played countless times but I still rate Echiejile higher than him. Monaco no be beans

Echiejile started 18 good league matches for Monaco this season. So, what are you talking about? Is that fair enough or better playing 50 matches in Slovakia?

Where Payet dey play? Obviously, not Slovakia na?

John Ogu is good but Onazi is better. Simple.

Kayode might not enter reserve team not to talk of the main National team. Meself fit score goalsssssss for Austria na.


Ighalo needs a natural Attacking midfielder behind him..

If you bring Ibrahim I go still take because I am his fan.

forgiveness:
Is Omeruo playing for Galatasary or Fernabachi? No

How do you rate him about a player who played against best clubs in the world and in one of the best leagues in the world.

So, you mean clubs in Turkey league will trash Ajax?

Apart from Galasatary and Fernaberchi Turkish league can't be compared with the Eredivisie. Fact.

Omeruo did well but was demoted to the Turkish league, that is not a good compliment.

Leon Balogun and Kenneth Otigba are not in the same levels with Troost-Ekong. Fact.

Onazi played as an attacking midfielder for Lazio two seasons ago. I saw it with my two koro koro eyes. No bi dem say.

I have not seen Madu play for his club but I have seen him played for the National team. He was dropped because he was bullied and beaten several times in his last match.

Echiejile bench warmer! What will you call father Mikel? and he is in ya first eleven. Don't you think constant football improves sharpness?ayeee!

Look at his statistics very well and you will see he played 20 league matches this season. If you remove that 20 from 38 it will remain 18. Waoh! The first choice last season is gradually losing his place to Echiejile. Chai!

If you say John Ogu is better than Onazi, it your opinion and you are entitled to it.


So, you think Leon Balogun and Kenneth Otigba can't use their left legs?

Kayode no go smell my team for now. No too much story.

TheGoodJoe:
If that pass by Iwobi to Welbeck is not supernatural, what is?

TheGoodJoe:
