Solanke was not impressive when he went out on loan to an eredivise club.

Osimhen pathway has not been 'blocked completely'. He has played the last couple of games. Besides, Solanke is older than Osimhen. I fully believe that Osimhen is not far away from being a starter

edi287:
How many do we pick in total?

goldfish80:
If Solanke wasn't British, he will be playing in the Dutch 2nd division or the Belgian Pro league at best.

daveP:
Oga, your definition of 'far far far....' ahead must be different from mine. so cos he cross carpetted, it means he is better than Dessers that scores anyhow. oh dont bring up league rankings cos Solanke isnt even a regular still.

Mickael2:
they have not only been very good at home, they have also been very good away. There second game I watched was away to Barcelona B(I was watching the game because of some Barca academy players tbh), I thought it was a sure win for Barca and Barca scored first, somehow they turned it and won the game in the last 5minutes. Their last match too against Alcocorn was away from home and they put in a solid performance, it's not like they were lucky. For 90mins they held their own and nicked it again at the death, I think they may be the best team in the division which is why I said they would hold Gent. With Swansea's recent poor form, buying that guy should be one of their easiest decisions right now

goldfish80:
Any player you pick from those categories won't stop SE from the mandatory first round loss to Argentina.

A win and a draw in subsequent group matches and a gritty, nail bitting slim victory over Poland in the second round. Then comes France in the 1/8 finals with Mbappe doing a hattrick.

safarigirl:
so, in your mind Simeon Nwankwo and Olanrewaju are in Category 2, while Cyriel and Kelechi are in Category 3?

And why are you throwing in some funny names like Solanke?

You sha...very predictable. Saw this list and instantly knew it had to be you. Surprise us one day

Mickael2:
From Pot1 I would take Ike Uche.

Reason- We are playing a system that suits a dynamic forward. A forward that can play very well as a link up player, can also put away chances and also create goals on his own. I am looking squarely at Martins and Ike Uche. I go with Ike Uche because he deserves this finally. The 2010 world cup after doing so well he got injured, 2014 world cup? Sentiments kept him out, he deserves to atleast represent his country once. Martins is hard to drop but I'd make do with that.

PS: I am not sure Osaze should be here, he isn't a true number 9 which makes it more outstanding that he has scored 13goals. There is this other nigerian who is their main 9 in his club, I don't know his name though.

Category 2: I would bring Iheanacho into this category. He is easily more experienced than Kayode so Kayode goes to the other category. Musa is not a striker either. I'd EASILY pick Iheanacho from this bunch. Him not going to the World Cup would be a crime against humanity


Category III: lets leave this open till the final matchday

DrKlever:
I will choose Ighalo from cat 1, then Iheanacho and Tammy Abraham from cat 3. i don't fancy any player in category 2

Mickael2:
the guy has been very good which is why when theGoodJoe said he isn't fast I was left confused, the same Azeez that plays for Lugo? The guy has a nice passing range, he isn't the most flashy but he does his work with diligence. Watching him I think he can play both the CMF and DMF role very well, beats me how he is playing for Lugo

komekn:
Arjen Robben, Danny Alves, Christiano Ronaldo, Jermain Defoe, Zlatan Ibrahimovic, Van Perspective, etc, etc these are some of the best players in the world. Would you now call them Veterans, Danny Alves is considered the best RB in the World. According to you he should be on the dust heap as a veteran.

Most of the players mentioned above are either Older than Obagoal a goal or in his age range.

So what's your point.

Kog45:
Jobie pls has anybody on this thread condemned our pursuit of foreign born players

goldfish80:
Alot of these players where hired as mechenaries by these schools. Its not unusual to find schools employing the services of "mechey" to prosecute Inter school tournaments.
Corruption has eaten deep into the fabrics of Nigeria. 99% of games masters in primary schools outsource for mechenaries at that level.

If forced, I can name a popular ex youth international who played as mecheneary for various secondary schools more then 6 -7 years after he wrote WAEC.

junnyjake:
Then you need not bring Ndidi into the mix, if in fact that was the sole reason for your argument.

junnyjake:
Yeah, I've seen watched Girona games because of him, and seeing him play for just 10-15 mins.

This definitely not the Kayode of last season.

tbaba1234:
Kelechi has been in the system since he was young as well.. Played for Nigeria under 13 and under 15.. Same with Awoniyi and Chidera Ezeh, The pictures of small KC of just a few years back are still available. And yes, facially Ola does look older but we know, he isn't necessarily.

Ekpolo formally of Barca is 20-21 but based on his face, you'd think he is older.

The point is simple. You can not tell a person's age by their face.

Facially, i look very young for my age. I sometimes teach undergraduates and some boys in my class look older than me. These are kids between 18-23

Joebie:
Wasn't Ajagu part of the U17 class of 2009?

junnyjake:
To me, I barely have time reacting to every news anyone brings on here.

It was obvious he knows nothing about what he was talking about, how could he assert that Ajagun was 25 in the '99 U-17 WC??

It was obvious it wasn't same Ajagun we're talking about, so I ignored.

I haven't really seen Ajagun play, from what I've seen, he's still a young man.

I still maintain you're over exaggerating as regards Ndidi's age.

Mickael2:
you know the truth but you don't want to accept it.


Ok like you pointed out, the sorry lot we have now cannot lead our attack in Russia, look left right and center we don't have anyother option. Tammy isn't coming, it is not written in any prophetic hall that Dessers will be a hit, even if he is a hit we still need to come to the world cup with 3-4 out and out strikers, so why not accept the tested and trusted guys? I will take the Liga2 ahead of the bottom half of the Belgian League, infact I can argue, after watching most of their games, tha Lugo will hold their own against Gent, so Ike Uche is not in a backwater league. Paulinho is still the corner stone of Brazil's brilliant world cup qualifying campaign...from the Chinese League!!! So much for the Chinese league being on par with the Championship

Mickael2:
you will not kill me

junnyjake:
Bad Belle no involve.

Kayode is good, I'd have included him, if he's not struggling with form at Girona.

Joebie:
Make u go talk for TV disgrace yourself

Dedebanky85:
Why are you answering him? He's a very funny dude. I doubt he's serious with this 27 to 29 yrs brouhaha. But in a serious note, anyone that claims a player is above agr with ridiculous statements such as I know him, I know his older brother, or he grew up in my area, just kindly leave a pics of you and that player. It's easy for anyone to say they know a player and all of his upbringing, whereas they may not even know what state such player either hails from or grew up at. I was pained on Twitter today when some Nigerians on Spanish laliga twitter page were bashing Uzoho after they acknowledged him for being the youngest goalie. If it was foreigners, I for understand, but na Naija peeps de mess d guy up pass. Smh

Mickael2:
not to dispute your claim about his age but Iheanacho is still 5'11, 184cm actually. I mean you know wetin be 6'2?! Ronaldo is 6 and half, goalkeepers are 6'2, Iheanacho is 5'11 at best. How tall is Iwobi?


Now before the babylonians come for my head.... I hereby declare that I believe totally that Iheanacho is not more than 23, I have never believed such rumours so please disregard anybody that thinks otherwise

chrisooblog:
lol guy I'm seriously laughing just because I exposed his false assertions about his player he's now bringing out all this irrelevant information

Joebie:
Wenger suddenly knew Alex Iwobi was a good player after he was called up for Nigeria, and decided to renew his contract. You had a good argument initially considering Iwobi had barely made the first team at the time, but you went on to mess it up.

junnyjake:
Don't mind forgiveness, trying so hard to make a case for Ajagun.

MRI, cannot be 100%

I had to concede further more to ease his ridiculous exaggerations.

safarigirl:
Onyekuru is currently better than Kayode based on club performance, so he should get the nod ahead of him.

However, I feel Rohr prefers Kayode, so I expect Kayode to be on that field against Algeria. On the flip side, Aluko will not be replacing Mikel in the MF, Iwobi should do that just fine- this is if Mikel is unavailable.

If we have Mikel, Esiti will have to chill fir Iwobi to occupy the AM position while Mikel takes the CM (that game will be as good a time as any to try such a formation)

elyte89:
Safari girl,don't b deceive by all that,kelechi will never b less dan 27years, I knw u re going to defend him based on d fact dt u re a die super eagle fan

Kelechi head alone is 14years,we Neva add him stomach,thighs age o ,JOKES apart,d guy is not a kid,infact for him to play at dt level with his real age(27),I give him thumbs up

Unlike Tate taiwo wey dey celebrate 23 for France,wyle his twin brother was celebrating 33years old ,here in Nigeria

Lucque:
Bros he broke into d first team dat season, how many 18-19yr olds de do dat one, he also scored d goal of d season. ..bros ndidi invitation was well well well well well deserved
