Sports › Re: Rohr Releases Super Eagles Squad For Algeria, Argentina by forgiveness: 6:11pm On Oct 31, 2017
CHIDIEBERE NWAKALI CAN ONLY PLAY DMF, CMF AND LM. HE NEVER PLAYED AS A LB.

People should not come here and tell us about versatility. No call dog a monkey to deceive the mumus.

If Rohr is truely looking for a DMF, we have many of dem doing well in a better league than in one obscure league in Norway.


No 1. Ryan Sanusi is playing in the EREDIVISIE for Sparta R. He is a free scoring DMF and he can play in 5 other roles( AM, CM, LW, LM & RW)


No 2. Brian Idowu is currently playing in the Russian league. He is also a better option than Chidiebere Nwakali because he is more versatile and plays in a better league than him. He Is double times versatile than Chidiebere Nwakali. He has played regularly as a DMF, RB, LB, CB, LM & LM. Why was he placed on standby while a player from obscure league just surface on the list from no where?

No 3. Raheem Lawal doesn't need any formal introduction. He has played and still playing as an DMF, AM & CM but the corrupt and selective system will never allow merit to reign in this country.He ones played as a RW too.


No 4. Hope Akpan also doesn't need any formal introduction. He is more versatile than chidiebere Nwakali some people want to force down our throat. E no go work. He offfers options in the LM, DM, CMF & AMF



These are the ones that doesn't need any FIFA approval/clearance before they can play for their father's land.

Time will not permit me to write about Ramon Azeez who is currently helping his club to top the la liga 2 table. I didn't mention Joel obi because they made excuse that he was injured when the list was made. So, Rohr doesnt have credit on his phone to find out about his injury?

If I begin add those ones nko? But it is not necessary now. Now, why did the coaching crew ignored these ones?

I have not mentioned those that need clearance oooo.

Hahahaha hahahaha @the bolded. Free this thing. Let me ask you this question: What do you stand to lose upon C. Nwakali's invitation? If he comes and performs, won't you be happy? If he does not, then he's out. Either way you win. The only thing is if he doesn't perform and he's kept on in the team.

I don't even see him playing. Remember that it's the absence of Vicmo and Echiejile that has made this possible.
We must voice out against injustice and illegality else this country becomes a banana Island.

Why invite him if you don't want him to play?

THE SOURCE OF THE NEW RUMOR

Tammy Abraham to reject Nigeria for England
exclusive

Abraham has impressed for Swansea
DYLAN MARTINEZ/REUTERS

Tammy Abraham has provided Gareth Southgate with a boost as he continues his preparations for next summer’s World Cup finals by declaring that he wants to play his senior international football for England.

The Chelsea striker, who is enjoying a successful season on loan at Swansea City, is being courted by Nigeria, whom he is eligible to represent through his father, who was born in Warri, and is a childhood friend of the Nigerian Football Federation president, Amaju Pinnick.

Abraham held talks with Pinnick about a potential change of allegiance in September, but is understood to have told senior FA officials in the past few weeks that he remains committed to England.

The 20-year-old has won 13 caps for England Under-21 and is targeting a step up to the senior side rather than pursuing a switch to Nigeria, for whom he will be eligible until he wins a senior England cap.

Southgate watched Abraham play for Swansea last Saturday away to Arsenal, where he created the visitors’ opening goal for Sam Clucas and had a ‘goal’ ruled out for offside, and the manager is considering naming him in his squad to play Germany and Brazil next month.


Since joining Swansea in the summer he has scored four Premier League goals in nine starts, a figure all the more impressive given his loan club have scored only seven goals in total.

Southgate considers Abraham to be a potential World Cup bolter even if he does not make his next squad, which will be announced on Thursday. While Harry Kane and Marcus Rashford are certainties to travel to Russia and Jamie Vardy is likely to make it, one or two striking slots are up for grabs. Daniel Sturridge and Danny Welbeck’s repeated injury problems may count against them, as may Jermain Defoe’s age as he approaches his 36th birthday.

Abraham’s commitment is also a relief for the FA, which, despite the success of the age-group teams, has seen Nigeria pick off former England youth internationals such as Victor Moses, Alex Iwobi, Sone Aluko, Shola Ameobi and Ola Aina in recent years.

Even when the final list is released, no matter how altruistic the process was, people will still raise questions about one or two players. That is life. We cannot all agree.

If there are several players that raise eyebrows, then corruption talk is understandable but talking about bribery over just one new player is careless talk. Especially when you can not offer much better replacements.
@bolded is another fat lie from hell.

Nwakali's Call-Up Well Deserved, Man City Have Plans For Him, Says Agent

Published: October 31, 2017

C. Nwakali's Call-Up Well Deserved, Man City Have Plans For Him, Says Agent
Allwell Nwakali, the elder brother and representative of Manchester City loanee Chidiebere Nwakali, has commented on the invitation of the central midfielder to the national team for the upcoming games against Algeria and Argentina.

''Chidiebere's invitation is well deserved because during his time with the U17s he was one of the best players. If you check after Isaac Success that got a club, he was next,'' Allwell Nwakali told allnigeriasoccer.com.

''Man City bought Kelechi Iheanacho and Chidiebere the same time before Chidera Ezeh joined Porto.

''Apart from the work permit issue that made him not to play for Girona, he has been playing despite the fact Norwegian League is not as glamorous as other leagues like La Liga and the English Premier League.''

Manchester City, Chidiebere Nwakali's main employer, are happy with his progress in Scandinavia, and have him in their plans provided that he is issued a work permit by the English authorities.

''Everybody knows he has been playing well. If he has not been playing well City won't be happy with him.

''[b]City are still happy with him and say they have plans for him despite we are facing a little problem with his work permit.

''With his inclusion in the Super Eagles team, it will be easier for him to get the work permit. As soon as he gets his work permit he'll go back to England and will [/b]do better in the Premier League.


''He is very young and full of energy. It is a well deserved one and I thank the coaching crew, the NFF and people that remember Chidiebere is still in existence.

'' They told me when his time come they will invite him and they fulfilled their promise. I hold them in high esteem,'' added Allwell Nwakali.

This season, Nwakali has played 26 games for Sogndal in all competitions, scoring four goals, and captained the team in the Norwegian Premier League match against Lillestrom on October 15.

Joebie:
what was the illogical comparison I brought up?

You are comparing Nwakali of 3 seasons ago, to Azeez of now.

That's what I mean by illogical comparison.

if you want to compare, compare Lugo Azeez to Sogndal Nwakali. That's logical.

You expect Rohr to look at the entire playing history of players, and make a comparison. That's what we do as fans.
As a coach, I think he looks at the recommendations based on the qualities he is looking for, then decides if the recommendation is good or not.
Different perspectives.
Joebie:
Sometimes I wonder how many championship players get called up by national team coaches. Your measurement of the quality of the English second tier is subjective. I said it before that I don't think Rohr has a high opinion of the championship. Of course we know very well that Aina was with Chelsea's main team when we started the push for him.

Anyway I could be wrong, but don't forget that most of these lads you are clamoring for need to make a switch first. Not like they can be called up right away. So why the noise?

The question remains are there other Defensive Midfield options out there? Azubuike Okechukwu, the younger Nwakali, and Ramon Azeez comes to mind. Of the these, none are clearly ahead of Chidiebere. It's not about who get's the chance first, it's about who grabs their chance with both hands. Hence, there is no cause for alarm.
The@bolded is the simple definition of illogical comparison.

Besides, These are not the only Defensive Midfielders available. Don't tell lies.

We have seen that Rohr likes versatile players. Now this guy is a guy who can do a job as the engine room of a team, as the DMF or as a LB, now I haven't watched Tega and he may deserve his spot but for Tega to come in, another midfielder has to leave but for Nwakali to come in nobody has to leave, we only have one leftback in the team currently and that makes his inclusion a no brainer. I have been clamouring for a LB who actually plays at LB and if Nwakali can do that job we are set for 7-8 years to come and he sure does have the quality
Chidiebere Nwakali never played as a LB for his club.

exactly why I've ignored him.
comparing Nwakali 3 years ago when he was barely 17, to a 24-year-old's achievement now..

Abi was Rohr even the coach 3 years ago. But he believes it's the NFF.
Wasn't it the same Azeez who went to the world cup in 2014 under the NFF's nose? Was he not rewarded then for his showing with Almeria?
I don't even get his argument.
Chidiebere Nwakali is 21 years this year. How can he 17 years old 3years ago? grin

Ramon started playing in LA liga 2 at just 19/20 years of age. No excuse .

Ramon Azeez deserved to be part of that team because he played regularly in LA liga for two seasons.

Chidiebere Nwakali failed woefully in LA liga 2. He couldn't perform atva higher level than Norway.

I presumed they want to use the national team to boost his chances of getting visa in UK. Just the same way they did for Ndidi.

This is disappointing, forgiveness. Impugning on someone else's character (both Chidi and Rohr) just to make your point. You have accused Rohr (who has gone months without pay) of being corrupt with no tangible proof. You have no record of money changing hands, no phone calls, no record of anyone saying Rohr has received bribe.....

These are grave allegations you are making against someone who could easily be your father and another who could be your younger brother. People doing their best to succeed in their chosen profession and you come out to make this accusation against them based on hearsay or the thrill Nigerians get for highlighting how "corrupt" we are? The fact that you have no qualms making false accusations against these men is a serious cause for concern. For someone who always requests for concrete facts for any counterclaim to your points, I think the onus is on you to provide verifiable facts in this case to be credible. At least you need no fear any backlash since you are anonymous (well not completely anonymous)

The internet is a force for both good and evil. Some use it to promote good, while others use it to "bear false witness against their neighbor". I am sure you have your own chosen profession for which you would not take lightly, any false accusations made against you simply because your accusers are not reasoning in the same wavelength. You may not take what you've done here seriously, but know that it is planting a seed of mistrust in the minds of people about honest hardworking men. You need to make a decision on whether you want to be a force for bringing people up or manufacturing accusations to have the upper hand.

It costs nothing to make accusations...Jesus enemies did the same when they couldn't explain his power. Be very careful so that the measure you use on others will not be used against you!
Is there no corruption in the selection of players and NFF?

I am so happy Rohr didn't listen to people like you by inviting kayode who to me is "blunt" striker ie striker wey no sharp, striker wey no sabi score goals just like his brother in crime Ideye.

It baffles me that you don't know that Kayode is not the type of striker you hope to deliver you when you are losing 2 nil with the time running down, and I am tempted to think that your sense judgment of a player's ability is flawed, either that or what you are doing is a premeditated calculated attempt at imposing incompetent players on us.

Infact I want to believe that you are an agent and have collected money from these below par players with a promise of a slot into SE and now that your mission is not achieved, you are beginning to scream blue murder!

I won't be surprised that it was your type that fostered the likes of Rueben Gabriel, Ajagun, Uchebo, Babatunde on keshi at 2014 WC spoiling our eyes with that dirty display at the Mundial while you smiled to the bank. Be careful, because right now I am beginning to suspect you.

I mean look at the players you are suggesting that Rohr invites to the SE, Martins, Taiye Taiwo, Kayode, Onuoha, Raheem, etc all mediocres. Don't you have eyes to spot a good footballer?... Or you are just being mischievously stupid?

Now you are foaming from both sides of your mouth because your paid players are not invited.

With the performances of Ezenwa so far, if given the chance you will rather drop him for Alampasu and Ajiboye...Guy behave o!

Making sound decisions and judgments in football matters does not equate to shouting upandan on nairaland and littering our phone screens with lopsided mentions.

In conclusion, I will call on other sensible members of this thread to stand up against people like @forgiveness who only have their own selfish interest at heart at the expense of the overall success of the Super Eagles.

So far we all have done a good job at keeping people like him at bay but the battle is not won yet until the final 23 list for the world Cup is drafted and mediocres{like his suggestions} are far away from it.
Let us make it simple and short.

Guardiola kicked out a sharp shooter out of Manchester City in the person of Kelechi Iheanacho and brought in a blunt striker wey no sharp in the person of Olanrewaju Kayode into the club. What an irony! grin

Analyzing The New Super Eagles List: The Good, the Bad, the Ugly
16 mins ago by Bryan Efe

https://static.pulse.ng/img/incoming/origs5760987/5380484791-w980-h640/Super-Eagles-.jpg
Super Eagles theNFF

At first glance, one will notice that Super Eagles coach, Gernot Rohr stretched his list to 25 compared to the 23 players that were invited for the all important Zambia World Cup qualifier tie in September. Let us take a look at each department as well as the standby provision, to determine what has changed from the previous invitation. I will also explore possible reasons for the inclusions and omissions.

GOALKEEPERS:

Stand in Super Eagles first choice goalkeeper Ikechukwu Ezenwa returns, as well as the ever present Daniel Akpeyi. However Deportivo la Coruna’s new safe hands, Francis Uzoho, is on this list in place of Ayodele Ajiboye of domestic side Plateau United, who was in the previous.

Ajiboye was rumored to have given a good account of himself during training leading to the Zambia tie but failed to get the nod to feature. Gernot Rohr rather, kept faith with Ezenwa for Zambia.

It is noteworthy to state that Francis Uzoho’s maiden call up was a well deserved one. Francis had risen quickly through the ranks from Deportivo Fabril to the first team in a short period of time. He posted a shutout in his debut for the senior team and barely missed out of a Whoscored Man of the match recognition, with 4 saves and 2 claims. After two solid displays in the La Liga, he is clearly way ahead of his Europe-based peers, Dele Alampasu and David Nwokolor who are yet to feature for the main team of their respective club sides. And also considering that self-exiled Super Eagles former captain, Vincent Enyeama has been sidelined for quite a while, Uzoho is the only Nigerian goalkeeper who has played recently in the top 5 leagues of Europe. Forgotten Israel-based Dele Aiyenugba

Omitted: Ayodele Ajiboye
Verdict: Good

DEFENDERS:

The list of defenders for the coming Algeria and Argentina matches is identical to that of the Zambia list, except for the inclusion of Tyrone Ebuehi, who was pulled off from standby to replace injured Elderson Echiejile.

Tyronne who is yet to make his official debut for Nigeria, having only featured in an unofficial friendly against Corsica in May, can play also at the left back of defense. It’s high time he got cap-tied.

With the appearance of another left back on the standby list, it seems Super Eagles regular, Elderson Echiejile will now have to start watching his back.

Omitted: Elderson Echiejile (injured)
Verdict: Good

MIDFIELDERS:

Here comes the second beneficiary of the two extra invitation slots, Chidiebere Nwakali! Coincidentally, another member (Uzoho as well) of the U17 World Champions, 2013 class. Kelechi is signed to current English Premier League leaders, Manchester City. The 20-year-old defensive midfielder is currently on his third loan spell, having had spells in Girona and IK Start previously. Failing to appear in the La Liga 2 as at then, Nwakali’s move to Norway two seasons ago put his career back on track. With 4 goals for IK Start from 24 appearances in only his first season, he was courted by several clubs in Norway, before he settled for Sogndal. Nwakali currently has equalled his goals tally from last season after 26 matches, and has gotten two Man of the Match recognitions from football statistical website, whoscored.com.

Despite the relative low rating of the Scandinavian league, Nwakali have given a good account of himself there, and have scored breathtaking goals.

Omitted: Nil
Verdict: Good

FORWARDS:

Injured Chelsea wing back, Victor Moses is conspicuously missing, and Anderlecht winger Henry Onyekuru, takes his place. Onyekuru needs no introduction. He painted Belgium with goals in his debut Jupiler Pro League season, and have continued from where he stopped as he is now the highest Nigerian goal scorer there with 6 goals, after starting slowly. Considering his eye catchy performances in the ongoing UEFA Champions League as well, it is no surprise that he was handpicked by Rohr to replace Victor Moses in the wings.

Omitted: Victor Moses (injured)
Verdict: Good

STANDBY:

The special list reserved for those that could get called up in case of emergency, has a new look. Dele Alampasu, Aaron Samuel, Afeez Aremu, and Ifeanyi Ifeanyi are all missing. In their place are Alhassan Ibrahim, Kenneth Omeruo and Russia-based left-back Brian Idowu.

Omeruo and Alhassan were missing from the previous standby list perhaps due to Rohr giving them time to settle down in their new clubs.

The missing home-based duo, Aremu and Ifeanyi, were mostly used for training in the past, and it would be out of place to invite them now because of lack of game time, considering that the domestic league has been on recess.

One may fault the exclusion of Girona’s forward Olarenwaju Kayode from this list considering that there are no strikers in standby. While the main list is loaded with forwards that one may be tempted to wonder, who Kayode will displace, a provision should have been made in case of any casualty. And having a forward in the mould of Kayode who’s latest exploits in the La Liga cannot be contended, I will have to admit his exclusion is a poor decision by Gernot Rohr.

On Brian Idowu, the coach’s inclusion of him seems to be a mere formality, but to send a message that the defender is still in Rohr’s plans. Alhassan, on his part, has already played under Rohr, so a place on standby this time around, should keep him calm.

Omitted: Afeez Aremu, Dele Alampasu, Aaron Samuel, and Ifeanyi Ifeanyi
Verdict: Bad

@bolded says it all. A failure in La liga 2 where Ramon Azeez is bossing it for his team steadily is called to the national team.

Chidi is a DM.

Where are your other DM options?
Who told you Rohr included Chidi because he is searching for a DM?

Show me facts.

Who is better?

Azubuike is injured.
Joel Obi just recovered from injury
The coach has already seen Esiti
Onomah is not a regular at Aston Villa. He still needs to be switch international allegiance.
Aluko is not a defensive midfielder.

Who else?
Hmm! How do you know the coach is looking for DMF?

A public office holder should except nothing less.

Don't really wanna come in, but couldn't resist any longer. I think Forgiveness needs to take it easy. Don't let the Anger gets the good of you.

I certainly understand your Pain. You love the Players, you follow them, you believe in their Abilities and Talents, you want them in the Team, but the Coaching Crew ain't reasoning or seeing things as you.

No one really bribes anyone. Who ever is on the List deserves the Call up as far as he's a Nigerian. There is no need to be throwing Allegations up and down bro.

You need to support the Team, hope for good Performances from the invited Players, and who ever fails to impress gonna definitely lose his Chance of making the WC List.

Mind you, this ain't the WC List. Anything can happen before the WC List is finally OUT. Many Players gonna be invited, tested and assessed. C. Nwakali has never been invited to the Senior Team. Let's see what he has to offer.

Forget the League he's plying his Trade, coz I believe that the Norwegian League is superior to Cyprus League. If Shehu could rep well in GWG, don't right off C. Nwakali yet.

Also, don't give up now, coz Kayode might eventually get another Chance, impresses the Coaching Crew and eventually gate-crashed into the List.

Chill Bro..... this ain't the WC List.
My problem is not Kayode because I knew the coach never wanted him.
