I have even seen younger players in world cup teams. These are exceptionally gifted players. Same goes for players that are above 35. Exceptional players. Just a hand full of them. Martins does not have kind of ability to perform at that stage at his current age.

What is his current age? 50

soetanoreoluwa:
He will surely be in radar of NFF.. Until we have vacancy in his position he will still be overlooked... Post 2018 ...

Haha!

Icon4s:
I can't believe that just to defend Martins' inclusion you make comment like "no be age them dey take play ball".

Then go and invite the U17 players to the national team since age does not matter and take them to the WC.

Those players you are mentioning are still in competitive leagues and they are not Nigerians. Always consider the Nigerian factor. Africa as a whole.

Obafemi Martins cannot add value to that team. He cannot bring more than what the current strikers are bringing.

If Rohr choses to invite him, good luck to him.

Even if you ask me ten years before now, I will still tell you the same thing.

Mbappe is just 18 and he has formed the integral part of the French national team.

Pls stop pretending as if age is my first priority. No it is not. Performance is my main priority.

Considered performance first before others.

South Americans are also age cheats. Don't go there.

Paulinho helped Brazil qualify for the WC but he played in China.

Mickael2:
so because he could be another Alaba or Alli we should start capping any random individual? What happened to merit? So if because of Lookman, Onyekuru is omitted from our squad list you will be happy? This is after you cried foul from morning till night about Oshimen getting a call up ahead of some other players. The type of sentiments we bring into play when clamouring for some players is......shocking

The fact that some these players are in big teams shows they got there by merit.

Morata was a bench warmer I Madrid but now he is a starter in Chelsea..

Lookman case is different from Oshimen because he is getting game time than Oshimen presently.

My policy with foreign breed with potential is different because they can be lured to play for another country..

It is about cash them young before they begin to shine. This is were a good scout comes to play.

Identity the best among them and bring them to the fold. Shikena.

Besides, there are hundreds of Nigerias in England but I have only mentioned few.

Icon4s:
I can't believe this.

You can only believe it when you see Defoe, Alves, Evra, Ibrahamovic etc still playing actively for their various clubs and country.

realpoacher:
Sir please stop this childish statements causing confusion here.

Na age they dey use play football.

Anything other than that makes your statements irks of immaturity, and deliberate attempt at sabotaging our world cup representation.

Let see how matured you are. Now, answer, How old was Andrea Pirol when he helped Italy to the finals of UEFA Europe cup?

How old are Buffon, Defoe, Evra, Alves, Ibrahamovic etc?

Are they not too old to sabotage their various countries representation?

Icon4s:
No. No be age. Go and call back Okocha and Kanu.

They have retired. Nevertheless, no be age dem dey take play ball. No come here come dwy deceive people. Abeg.

Joebie:
Azubuike has played every game since Yeni's promotion, until he got injured. He was sidelined for about 4 weeks. I remember posting in my Super Lig updtate that he picked up an injury October 1st or so. He just got back to training with the team.. no dey lie

Hahaha! Because I tried looking for him but he was nowhere to be found.


Now, I know better. Thanks anyway.

Joebie:
u sef.. i no know how u be for real life oh. but i dey suspect say if mama send u to go by crayfish for market, you go return super late, after u don argue with plenty people for road.
this old legs debate is past.. ignore and move on.

Na to just clear the air. No argument.

Mujtahida:
There are only 23 players in a team and already you have mentioned 7. It would be highly counter productive if we cap a foreign born players just for the sake of owning them. If it turns out that they are not good enough or thst we have better options and such player never gets to play or plays limited matches, then it would become a reference point to dissuade others in the future.

Those players I mentioned are not efulafu. Believe me.

Napoleon55:
pls o,is it possible that this guy is 16yrs

I know one 14 years old boy who is almost as tall and big like him.

Even my own cousin who is 15 is as tall as dis and he is already in a university at Ota.

His mother is afraid of the size of his foot. Size 46.

Na em we dey call no size in London.

Nwakaeme's goals


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gorOu2p5cMo

This guy is a very experienced goal scorer. If you sabi football then you can tell from the first goal.

However, he seems to be an heavy and not fast.

BascoVanVeli:
I think you are being unfair to forgiveness

No mind the guy.

Icon4s:
We are not Germany.
We are Nigeria where already the real ages of those players are in doubt.

So, na age dem dey take play ball now, abi?

soetanoreoluwa:
Super Eagles Update

It seems NFF are monitoring this lad. He has played all the matches for Lugo this season from start to finish and Lugo is currently topping the league.

Instead of people clamouring for Azuibike who is currently chopping bench in his club, I will rather go for Ramon Azeez.

Icon4s:
Just one word from your write up: ' Distraction'.

That sums it.

Are we better than Germany who has invited more players than we?

PurpleHouse:
Personally, I am beginning to have some disgustful feelings towards some folks here. I mean, com'on, how can you guys be clamouring for the recall of old men whose time have passed as far as the super eagles is concerned?

These young lads qualified us for the world cup with the services of Martins and the likes. I love martins, very much. But i feel we don't need him and his likes anymore. There were times when i would have campaigned for their recall myself, but those days are long gone. We don't need distractions. We have enough fire power to beat any team with determination and teamwork. So all the agents and paid ass lickers (no offence), pls bury this ideas of Martins and his likes. We are building a solide team right now, we are not REPACKAGING old cargoes.

Thank you Opariliously!

Martins was part of those who qualified us for the world cup. So, it is normal to include him on the team if he performs better than the ones we have.

soetanoreoluwa:
Joel Obi might made it to Russia 2018...

Atleast he's going to be injury free now... I believe...

We need him

He can deputize or take the place of Onazi and Ndidi.

Afterall, he there before them.

tbaba1234:
Joel Obi scores on his return for Torino...

See as I take miss.chai!

I was watching the first half with the expectations of seeing Joel and Sadiq play but after I noticed the two blacks were not Nigerians, I turned to other channels. I turned back in the 77 minutes and noticed Torino had scored 2 goals but I didn't pay attentiton to had noticed my Joel Joel on the field, so, i turned off my TV and went to bed.

Oh! I missed to see how he played.

kingphilip:
this is just 7, where are the remaining 4 to complete a squad so that we can change the whole team for them

It's not about changing the whole team. It is about having a large pool of players to draw from should incase any of the regular is out due to injury.

Germany is a better football country than us yet they keep bringing new players for trials

Abi, Nigeria better pass Germany?

Moreover, some of those players will be thrown out of the team after the world cup due to lack of performance and other factors.

elyte89:
Look at my post very well,I am not forgiveness dt promote players here,I only gave an advice to d youngman(lookman),if he want to resurrect his career at Everton,DAT d fastest way to do dt, is by joining d super eagles and hope an invitation would b extended to him,by so doing,he mite revive his club career




Having said dat, all d suggested players like lookman,olayinka,aiyenugba,ajagun,onomah, and co,I don't fancy any of dem,cos I don't c anything extraordinary dey would add to d team, dt dis present crop of players won't do,

Declaring to play for Nigeria without invitation could damper with his club career.

How can you discard these pplayers without you seeing them kick a ball for the National team?

Mickael2:
So he should switch and all of a sudden he becomes better than the Olayinkas, the Onyekurus on the sideline right?

Lookman is a very good player and he plays like a champion.

The Olayinkas and Onyekurus are our own but lookman needs to be invited just to be capped for us to be guaranteed he is ours. This is because he could be another Alaba or Ali.

I want NFF to move for Onomah, Ojo, Lookman, Iorfa, Ilori, Solanke and Ameobi.

These boys are very talented. Trust me.

Joebie:
LIKE FOR LIKE COMPARISON

Ilori VS Iorfa

Ilori to me is better choice at the CB than Iorfa.

Joebie:

Ebuehi VS Ehizibue

y


Ehizibue is a better than Ebuechi. This I already know but but because Ebuechi showed more interest I decided to keep quiet on Ehizibue matter.

soetanoreoluwa:
It seems Rohr believes in him but he should give more to the team to justify his call up...

I agree with you on this.

tbaba1234:
Onomah is not always starting at Villa.

you don come again oooooo.

BascoVanVeli:
ok I get it but that does not explain Kayode not getting a start after winning a pk and creating an assist in his last match.

Well, that I don't know precisely.

Famocious:
This is what he wrote :

U-turn Alert�

Jordon Ibe set to pledge international allegiance to Nigeria

Tammy Abraham ready to snub England for #Nigeria

What say you?

If we get Tammy na jackpot be dat. Ibe should change his name to Ibe if he is really serious about it.

BascoVanVeli:
He was in Middlesboro, they came at the same time.

I don't think so because I remembered Man city bought him almost at the end of the closing day of transfer market.

I mean Stuani participated in pre season with Girona before Kayode came in but I admit they started the season together.

BascoVanVeli:
Kayode was amazing against deportivo I wondered why he didn't start this match.

Stuani has not disappointed so far. He was already scoring goals before Kayode came.

soetanoreoluwa:
Hmmm patient you call it..
Do you have patient with the coaching crew too?

...hes have two more life line against Algeria and Argentina... Before we talk en case

Hmm! Tactics wise no problem but selection of players and playing them out of position is where I am frustrated with the coaching crew.

He had better grab those chances with his two hands because if he doesn't impresses he should kick his career with the national team good bye.

Nigerias don't forgive.

Joebie:
oya forgiveness.
I remember Isaac Success had a good game against Real Madrid. Going to the EPL was a bad bad move. By now that guy for don be one of the full fledged members of SE I think.

Haha! I don tell am watup na.

Kayode shuffled btw the right wing and attack. Meaning,he defended and attacked at the same time.

Besides, Girona was not interested in attacking again when Kayode came in with about 10 minutes left.
