so, he will give himself loan move?

And if he gets a loan move and they don't play him in the next club?

Na so we say make e leave Man City go anotge club, na the other club be this, now na make e go loan.

Na siddon look I dey so. Na only World Cup I dey look forward to, all these talk about Kelechi getting loan moves, I no join again. The sale to Leicester has taught me enough

the matter tire everybody......
because this French coach don't have any utter regard for him and musa.....
the man is blind to nancho abilities and same wit musa....

any club coach...like westham, Bournemouth, Brighton etc will play him....but this very coach have no regard for him....

let's be optimistic...Leicester was never the best option for him....their style of play never suits him........

I understand a better world cup performance will push his stock....but he need to be playing competitively until then...

safarigirl:
it is because of this kind of reasoning that you are an internet coach .


Go and drag Kelechi out of the plane to Russia when he enters, you hear?

Nonsense!

but truth be told....him and musa need to do something as regard this annoying Leicester coach attitude...

better nancho gets a loan move elsewhere and musa also.....that coach don't even care about these players.....since he came on bound he has not even given musa at least a minute shift in the main team....haba

darkelf:
I feel Musa has become lukewarm because he believes there is already a permanent spot on the team for him

Who can blame him? He keeps getting called up despite hardly ever starting

This should stop. This guy isn't playing regularly.

It's either he goes out on loan or seeks a permanent transfer. There should be no room on the team for bench warmers

He is the only selection Rohr keeps making that I usually don't agree with (including Dan Akpeyi)

to be honest...the thing tire me....

Danielnino00:
Boxing day premier league games....



Watford vs Leicester
Ndidi starts, Success, Musa and Iheanacho missing

Chelsea vs Brighton
Moses starts

I think it is high time....musa and nancho leave that club to get playing time elsewhere....
the problem I have wit musa...is that he is not even ambitious...he don't even care if he stick to the bench....or even confirned to the under 23.....

I hate it when people are so comfortable.....
it is high time they make a move..

Mujtahida:
face the message not the messenger. the question is: did what he said true or false. is the WC for the matured(men) or for the immature(boys)

the answer to your question is relative....
because I see no boys amongst the members of the super eagles squad..

they're no boys amongst them...they're all men....even those who argue for their inclusion like sokari, Joel obi, ajagun etc...
these guys are men and not boys...

so take that postulation back to Udezi maybe during their time they have so many boys in the team.....
guess him too was a boy then...reason why he was overwhelmed....

Icon4s:
Oya team Sokari food don done.
Next thing now is "let us quickly cap him before Tunisia takes him".

oga icon na only you know that one ooo
you wanna make jest of me....abi? God is watching you on a Cinema....

Icon4s:
Vital point. He knows he has a future with the national team.

yeahhhh...exactly

Kog45:
Hope they would allowed the best to be in goal.I watched recent clips of six invitational tournament and i can tell you Ajiboye would be my number one for CHAN but Afelokhai no go area for me cos his performance against MFM was worrisome, this must have prompted Ayeleso Suraj invitation.

that is just my fear....
you see yusuf seems to have always gotten it right with his selection....though he is not tactically too effective...
but alloy agu is worrisome....his selection is the primary reason we still having issues in the goal keeping department...I guess rohr knew this...that's why he opted for a foreign goal keeper trainer....

tell me...why was suraj sidelined all this while? everyone knows ezenwa continous invitation to the national team was a suspect especaliy when he was no where near FC IfeayiUba starting 11...he kept getting invited....

and now...he is trying to forbid better goal keepers from playing....I just hope...
these keepers are allowed to play and let's see what they can all offer.....

Icon4s:
No be for this World Cup abeg.

Maybe FIFA should organize a special competition for Under 35 or Over 35 players.

Lol.......that one if oga forgiveness and he crew go hear .....

I trust rohr though.....he is a man that think of the future...

Mujtahida:
Rohr will not like Osimhen if he is not hardworking and ambitious. i say this because Rohr is German and typically Germans are hardworkers and they love hardworkers. so if Osimhen has no other quality that i know i can safely say he must be a hardworking guy for rohr to like him so much.

the boy really need to sharpen up....and seize one this moments.....
he will not always get to play 90 mins but...the few minutes he get to play...him making his presence felt....will go a long way..boast his chances of leading the frontline in few matches....

read...Wolfsburg will be signing a Croatian under 21 forward come next month....that means...he now have a new competitor...

he should brace up.....

forgiveness:
I thought you said we don't need old men in our team? Why Ogbeche?

Ogbeche wey be Martins age mate.

since you guys are clamouring for martins...
better we invite all the available old men.

still scouting if there is still any...besides this two....so we can all deliberate on it...if possible rohr invites them all....

Icon4s:
If Rohr who is in charge is telling us he is still hopeful of getting Enyeama who are we to rule him out?

let's keep our fingers crossed....

darkelf:
Agu is a no go area for me. I think he is overrated
Ogu shows passion and commitment. I like that
Ndidi and Onazi are work horses not too afraid to roll in the mud
Mikel's vision, leadership and experience will help us a long way

I am wit you on the bolded....

Mujtahida:
my guy the WC is the number one sports fiesta in the universe. ex international ifeanyi Udeze said its not for boys but for men( not age oo but mind) and most players who have been to WC will say the same. nerves my bro, raw nerves hits players. didnt you see how the experinced brazilian players caved under an attack of nerves in 2014. WC is still football but its football at the highest and the most intimate level because playing for your club is not like carrying the hopes and expectation of your country on your back. the pressure, hope, expectation enters the bones and if a player is not strong the player will be jittery. didnt you see how jittery balogun was in the first leg against Cameroun and the home match against Zambia? without taking anything away from the other qualities that make for a great team experience helps players to overcome this jitters but without experience a player needs to really psyche himself up to bear the pressure. we the fans feel it even despite the fact that we have watched so many WC games how much more the players themselves particularly the newbies.

the udeze that said...it is for men...
what did he play for Nigeria at the world cup?
anybody can open their mouth to talk words all because they're ex-internationals people will begin to see those words as authority.

Icon4s:
My brother, to win every game in the World Cup is an Herculean task.

It is no child's play. It is for the men and not for boys.
We learnt this bitterly from the 2002 WC when Onigbingbe packed boys to the world cup. They got overwhelmed by the intensity of the competition. Players like Ogbeche, Sodje and Opabunmi were only tested in friendlies. They never really played any competitive game before we faced Argentina. Ike Shoromun was our saviour that day. Our goal keepers are always our saviors in world cups since 2002. This is also a pointer to team Uzoho.

I trust players more that have been tested in competitive matches reason why I rate Ezenwa higher than Uzoho. A goalie that didn't concede from open play against Cameroon home and away and against Zambia at home. You cannot push away that kind of performance. It is only if Enyeama shows up.

you wrote true...but we shouldn't just settle fr ezenwa...let's try others and see how good they're during this CHAN and friendlies...for uzoho....

ezenwa had such a wonderful experience obviously because of the standing defense we had in both matches....

he has never really been tested....

Icon4s:
Sebi I have said this before.

We need to have a standing U19/20/21 team. We engage them with friendlies each time we are on international break.
We don't need to wait to see some of these players play for the Super Eagles to see their readiness to play at that level.
We can even organize friendlies between our U20 team and less fancied senior teams like those of Benin or Togo.
They can even play against our CHAN team or NPFL champions. Or can take part in the Super6 just like in 2015.

to be honest wit you...this have been our problem...even the cadet team coaches have no programs and plans.....
going through wit this friendlies will even save us the stress of loosing some of this foreign born good players....in the longrun...
as they will first get to play in our under 20 and not straight to the super eagles....


I think the NFF really need to put their hands together.....we are lagging behind.

Kog45:
Mikel was MOTM against Iran and Osaze against Bosnia,we had two MOTM in the last WC.

thanks sir

forgiveness:
Don't you know Martins played well in the la liga and the Ramon Azeez whom you mocked played good football prior to the WC?

I small double standard.

when was that....I am talking of current performance and you're talking of Martins play about 4 years ago.....

abeg...tell me something else....

daveP:
It will continue to be a herculean task until african sides begin to get it right. only then can gamblings of such nature be a walkover. Besides how many dey play top flight sef?

reason why you want a player who has since passed his prime from One Asian league for the super eagles 3chioce CF?

that role is for a young and enterprising player...who can as well play the flanks...when need be...and kayode is one of that player.....

OMANBALA1:
Nnaa, that was a very intense match and those Zambians came out to play and had our boys sweating ,even Rohr admitted he was not surprise with Agu's initial fret. But dude dusted himself up and posted a performance to be proud of.

bro...I have not missed any of super eagles match since the south Africa match...
and that guy have not played anything worthy of repute....
he has been given chances upon chances....
but nothing different....
going wit him to the world cup without calling the likes of Joel obi and others to come prove their worth....and then compare will be serious disservice to good football....

Mujtahida:
my brother i have not gotten over the psychological drain i suffered from ogbeche's flop after he raised my morale in the run up to the WC in 2002. thats why despite his good form his name has not crossed my mouth. i'd rather stick to martins who has been consistent. as for dessers i like him but he's not getting the attention that i thought he'd get. instead na ryan sanusi nff go romance with( thats if owngoalnigeria news is true)
someone who has spoken to Rohr say that Rohr is desirous of taking osimhen to the world cup and i when i read rohr's interview posted here for our reading he mentioned Osimhen's name and i remembered my discussion with the person.

the painful thing about the oshimen...is that the boy I think is not willing to help himself...
he looks way not ambitious to me....
he looks too complacent...
nacho never had so much opportunities in city before he registered his name on the score sheet...
it became a routine that whenever he is introduced he may likely score.....

and here oshimen has gotten over 60 mins under his belt wit no goal nor assist....

he has it in him...but he needs to work harder....

OMANBALA1:
So, if given a choice between Ogbeche/Martins and Osimhen/Kayode you will take the later ?

kayode....no need to argue that....

daveP:
You indeed love a chance to gamble. perhaps mourinho in style.
Untested over the tested? and @the mundial for that matter? merlin responsibilities!!

what do you mean by the tested....?
you guys make me laugh....you all see the world cup as one Herculean task....different from the football they have all been playing...

if someone can play good football in the Spanish or German league...top flight...then certainly he can play @the world cup....

you don't need to bag so much experience to prove yourself......

you guys really need to re-evaluate this yardstick of experience...same experience cost us the France 1998 and I have seen young players play football at the world cup...wit no experience in their bag....

OMANBALA1:
I rather take Martins than Ogbeche.

me wont even take both.......they don't worth it.
I rather take oshimen or kayode instead....

OMANBALA1:
Bikonu, has Rohr made any mention of inviting Joel Obi nor Kingsley Sokari , because I remember Agali hinted no new players will be invited. This brings me to the next question; are we still experimenting or what ? Honestly, I am satisfied with our midfield that has Mikel, Ogu , Agu, Ndidi,Etebor and Onazi but if a room can be made for Joel Obi then who goes assuming everybody in the team is injury free and inform. Forget the rough patch Etebor seems to be going through the boy is still a force in that team and even Agu can play that defensive midfield like a world class. We saw it against Zambia.

what did agu prove against Zambia?

please his position In that team is up for grab....let any of sokari, Joel obi seize it....

Mujtahida:
the bottom line is 30 players will be invited out of which Rohr will select his final 23 even though I see him sticking with the core 18 or 19 players with four more players edging out some players. fact is the defence needs one solid backup for balogun( which i'd suggest Omeruo takes) one more player in the midfield(which i suggest Joel Obi takes if he is fit) and one more player in the attack (which Martins, Kayode, Osimhen can take)

na suggest i suggest ooo.

in that attack role...please add ogbeche to it...and also dessers.....

oshimen is just a mile away from making the world cup squad...the boy really need to put some hardwork.....
get a trainer and do extra work.....if he must get it right in his club....being that rohr likes him alot...he needs little conviction to make his team.....

goldfish80:
Just to add another dimension to the discussion. Rohr being an ex Sfaxien manager must have been tipped off by his contacts in Tunisia about Sokari. The news the player being considered is not happenstance.
Also, Rohr's second assistant is Tunisian , it will be difficult for a player doing so well in the in the country not to get noticed by their network of contacts.

If Sokari can do a job for the team, why not? It's not like the players we have currently are tearing up their leagues.

God bless you my brother....
your reasoning is top notch.

forgiveness:
Which one be ya Ramon Azeez? Oh! The stereotype stuff against his kind? Is that it?

Oga! If you, I mean yaself is honest, you would have told us how miserable almost all players were that night. Singling out Ramon Azeez is very bias and lopsided.

If you claimed he barely passed a ball can you explain this independent report of his game after match?


Azeez: Created a single opening after the restart and was eventually replaced by Odemwingie.

Mikel: The Super Eagles need their best player to be operating at a much higher level.

https://syndication.bleacherreport.com/amp/2099057-iran-vs-nigeria-live-player-ratings.amp.html


If I may ask, where do Ramon Azeez play in that match?


Was Mikel Obi MOTM in that match against Iran?

the bolded shows you never watched the match.......please more of your knowledge is based on sports writing......
that guy was a fluke in that world cup.....

forgiveness:
@bolded is a very wrong misconception.

First of all, your comment about Ramon Azeez painted him as a rubbish player and therefore, did not deserve to go to the WC.

That's far from it because he started and finished 20 matches out 30 matches he played in the la liga prior to that wc. Abi, was there a better CM/DMF prior to that WC?

Besides, he was played out of position inthat match against Iran. He should have been played in his natural CM/DMF role instead of AMF.

However, Mikel also yelled at Onazi several times. Does that mean Onazi is not good.

If you are talking about passing, it is better you check Ramon Azeez's statistics.

brother...you can please make use of YouTube watch Nigeria vs Iran match....and be honest wit yourself....to tell me how miserable your Ramon azeez was that day...
even mikel that won the man of the match that day.....was below par....
azeez could barely pass a ball.....

Bros u dey vex?
No vex o. Today na Christmas.
I am sorry if I was really hard on you. Na so the matter just hot for my mind.
Enjoy the rest of your Christmas bro. One Love.

enjoy yours too.... I am not angry at all . do have a gracious week...ahead

Icon4s:
Better. Just rest the issue.

That was a wrong call. Hahahaha.

I knew you never meant he was better than Joel Obi. It was a slip of the finger.

I have dropped the issue........
and for your last sentence....everybody is entitle to their opinion..

Icon4s:
You are among the ones that should let Rohr do his job.

He has his scouts and you should respect that rather than calling for the inclusion of heaven and Earth in the team and yet you are shouting "Let Rohr do his job". You want to force players on him?

Tomorrow now if one Raja Casablanca fan hails a Nigerian player in the club you'll come here and start calling for his inclusion.

Let Rohr do his job please.

you're trying to make a mockery of me...
I have been a fan of sokari right from his playing days in the npfl....so saying because one Tunisian fan praised him necessitated my reasons....makes no sense to me.....
