Icon4s: Who spare headed the attack against Algeria and Senegal?
nacho is becoming match rusty.. hopefully the few weeks camping in France come true..I believe it will help reshape him it's painful see him warming city bench... but sir goodjoe still believes he is undergoing drills... drills my foot.
TheSuperNerd: Based on Current form... I would take Aluko.... but an in-form Iwobi will be my first choice even against the die-hard camerounians.....
We all complain of his struggles with physical teams which is true nonetheless but again he did pretty good against Zambia. Also he faces teams like Stoke City in the EPL.... for me ooo... stoke is the Cameroon of the EPL.....
But it is a tough call... it is not as straightforward as you are making it... choosing between Aluko and Iwobi would not just be based on who copes better with physical teams... it is about the synergy of the team....
Let Rohr make the call... all we can do here is postulate....
Icon4s: I agree with you. But can you suggest one number 9 for us?
the 9 I have in mind is Tammy...but I am not sure if we gonna get him easily... so let's make use of kayode for the Cameroon tie. the guy has stamina and physique... he can live up some of our expectations still believe iwobi can play the physical taste of Africa football should he be deploy to the middle not the flanks...he should play as 10 definitely as sub the guy good at giving some dangerous passea
TheSuperNerd: He just made his first bundesliga start and he's made team of the week already!!!!!!!!!!
In the company of Auba and co.... chaaaiiiiii.... what else are we waiting for then? Abeg Rohr should call this lad up for that France camping exercise biko.... but before then, he should make further contacts to consolidate on the ones already made... we cannot lose this boy ooo... Finally... a stiff competition for Echiejile...
seriously...you're spot on. please let rohr add that Manuel Akanji guy... both guys are needed asap
Didn't you see Ali goal and assist yesterday? It was awesome.
Dele Alli is a better player than Iheanacho. It's the plain truth.
Besides, Eto and Drogba are not British or European but you na.
Iheanacho should leave City. The coach body odour sorry body language suggest he doesn't need Iheanacho and he is wanted out.
I agree wit u that dele alli is a good player but not better than nacho... what stands dele alli out is the opportunity he got..playtime. I believe nacho could have done same if he had same opportunity
TheSuperNerd: Best news of the day for me...... Rohr means One hell of a business mehn!!!!!..... coz I was kinda worried about how we are gonna keep shape and carry on in the momentum we have built overtime.... ahead of the next competitive games coming up in June and in August/September. And it seems he has eyes to invite some fresh talents for close-up view also..... maybe this is Onyekuru's chance alongside the other greenhorns to make an impression for the future?
Super Eagles coach Gernot Rohr has revealed that he plans to invite fresh young players to a training camp in France, ahead of the national team’s African Cup of Nations qualifier against South Africa in June.
The training camp will start next month, meaning the Super Eagles stars will not be allowed to proceed on holidays at the end of season in most European countries.
“We have a programme to work together as a team. We have arranged for camping in France and we have been invited for some friendly games, although it is not FIFA window.
“We have some young players who we need to look at and also some of them that have finished their season in Europe,” Rohr told New Telegraph.
The Super Eagles, after winning the 2013 AFCON, failed to qualify for the 2015 and 2017 editions but Rohr is optimistic of his wards will make the cut in 2019.
“They need to work hard, we have two and half weeks to prepare for South Africa after which we will play another friendly game to accommodate some other players that will be ending their season in June, especially the players playing in China.”
Rohr is back in Nigeria and was at the Agege Township Stadium on Wednesday to watch a league game between AS Racine and Warri Wolves.
I just love this man... just pray a corporate body take up his pay.... the man will achieve great things with the eagles.. he even have plans for China based players and some new fresh guys
enomakos: he shall remain in leicester for two more season
I share same thought...with u Leicester is not a bad team...better to be where u are celebrated and tolerated than elsewhere u are not even sure of what's await u
let his handlers calm down and let him stay in Leicester and establish himself there after all he is just 20
TheSuperNerd: Onyekuru and Samuel Kalu must get their chances before Odey naa..... Odey should just be patient... his time will come.
bro I tire eehh I just don't understand what's happening again that guy odey has an upcoming CHAN tournament to enjoy.. and prove his worth after all. I don't understand the reason for the rush..... we still have kalu, onyekuru who has not smell the SE yet.
krattoss: spare me that please.. Pep is performing below average considering the fact how much he was giving for transfer markets..he has gotten all he asked for financially.. Tell me one reason he should go trophy less considering the amount of resources at his disposal..not only is he going trophy less, he is also on the verge of loosing out on the champions league spot.. And you call that development.. And what will you call jurgen klopps handwork on Liverpool? Or leicesters resurgence? With low budget,they still get their team up front..that's what I call development..
The thing is GUARDIOLA is still driven by the euphoria he is still in the laliga or bundesliga where he has little or no competition.. The sooner he learns he is in EPL where no one cares whose ox is gored..the better for him
the painful thing is...Manchester united is not serious at all...if they were...by now pep and his crew would have been fighting to clinch the Europa ticket mtcheew...Mr know all coach
Joebie: I don't think England will just cap them. Don't forget England with their colonialist mindset know perfectly how to brainwash these kids into believing they have a great future with The Three Lions. We must take this news seriously
you're right...they see it as an honour to play for the 3 lions... abeg I just want NFF to get Tammy.. then we can leave the rest for them and see how they utilize them... we can concentrate on getting other good players in Germany, and the akanji guy in Basel...the only challenge is...if not rohr NFF only see those in England...
forgiveness: Don't mind the guy. He thinks Nigeria is a dumping site for expired legs.
I don't know if what you said is true about having English blood in your veins but I tell you that Dele and Barkeley are there on merit.
Those boys are really good.
abeg rest...they got the chances and hype because they've have become 3 lions players... there are so many good young lads who will never get the chance to shine.. for example you and I know... if iheanacho was an English kid he won't be on the bench in city nor be omitted from the match day squad abeg may we talk something else
komekn: Unlike France and its Clairefontaine, England's FA does not have a dedicated elite football academy from which the claim can be made that they invested in them, (African players) with national quasi public funds etc.
Football clubs invest in thousands of players each year through the academy system which every club has with the intention of selling players for profit and or playing them in their own teams. At the end of the day they are all private businesses using private and individual funds not government funds. So we owe them NOTHING , think about the millions (not naira) they make on our boys so NOBODY should feel sorry for them.
Consider Ndidi lifted for peanuts from Nigeria within 2 years later sold for £15 million, so who is fooling who.
thanks Sir good to know we share same thought on this issue... the truth is...should they opt to start capping these lads unnecessarily just to keep them out of Nigeria reach.. they will end up frustrating some of these guys as many will only manage 1 or 2 caps all through their professional career like fashanu...with time these evil deeds will be visible to all and be a lesson for the upcoming ones to learn from...
I bet you one thing that makes the lads love play in Nigeria... is the sense of belonging they get here...the love and the no discrimination showed to them...iwobi himself said this
tbaba1234: ““No player in the NPFL is good enough for the Super Eagles at the moment”, Yusuf said, after he was asked why there were no [outfield] locally based player in the latest [current] national team selection”, he told Lagos Talks 91.3Fm.

the man is just being sincere after all he was once an NPl team coach...(kano pillars and enyimba to be precise)
The Football Association of England has initiated moves to stop the rise in the loss of youth international, who are eligible for other nations.
Owngoalnigeria.com England based writer Michael James had a chat with a member of the FA, who voiced out the FA unhappiness over the recent loss of around five talented players groomed in their youth set up to other nations.
The issue of losing Wilfred Zaha of Crystal Palace was still dominating discussions in the FA office, when news arrived that around four players educated by the youth set up in England are close to pledging allegiance to Nigeria.
The trio of Ola Aina, Chuba Akpom and Ebere Eze trained with the Super Eagles of Nigeria in London last week, and even took part in a training match among the players organised following the cancellation of the proposed friendly game against Burkina Faso.
”We have initiated moves to curb the menace of losing talented teens to other nations. No doubt we can’t stop them from playing for nations they are qualified to represent but we can control the numbers, because it’s on the rise”, he told Owngoalnigeria.com
”I’m sorry I can’t reveal the steps we have taken, and other plans we have but for now we are deeply concern about the trend, and we know a lot of our nationals are worried as well. It’s a trend we will nip in the bud”.
Sir Goldfish... you recall our little discussion on the "England someday coming up with measures to halt this dual nationality and country switch palava".
Sir Komekn.... you recall this issue too and in fact you have a strong emotional voice on the issue.
Now I ask... what could England (The FA) be possibly up to as regards halting or controlling this situation?
Anyway.... Time will tell....
let's watch how the 3 lions gonna absolve all the Africa blood in the English academy.... they're funny..if they're claiming to have spent much in the development of this kids how about the resources and funds they milked from us during the colonial era and even from the mass money laundering of our leaders.... abeg may they go relax...I just want us to snap Tammy Abraham prior the world cup they can keep the rest and let's see how they get to play them...
forgiveness: Aayaaa! At this time of the night, you wan play for Nigeria.
Wetin happen when dem call you for early mo-mo? You say you were not serious.
Solanke, Ojo and co, una dey learn, ba?
Lol...u funny bro nor mind the guy.... that's why I pity some of this English born as long as you have no English blood in your veins like dele and barkeley and you're not exceptional your chances are slim...
TheSuperNerd: Chaaiii.... u dey find him trouble now ooo...
Sir Royalty.... I call you Royalty... bcoz there is a saying that Humility is referred to as Royalty without a crown.... (meaning A humble person is of royal spirit but you just may not see the crown physically)
So Sir Royalty.... plsss... before Sir TheGoodJoe unleashes his venomous and legendary punches on you... biko bia..... lemme give you the best gear to absorb his punches.... **Yara Yara.... get the punching absorbance gear kit**
Don't Worry... Sir... you can thank me later...
.............. And one more thing.... plsss no call that man called P** here again abeg... I just want Nacho to leave that man and his silly philosophical nonsense....
imagine him and City knowing Nacho is top quality and not wanting to sell him to a rival club in England .... abeg since they don't want him... then they should let him be abeg... and I pray they don't fit in a buy back clause.... I want Nacho to leave and then come back to the etihad with his new team and punish them dearly with Nacho scoring the goals or even worse, the winning goal or the goal that sends City packing from a major competition....
thanks bro...I am really honored by your gestures and words...
abeg leave Sir Goodjoe...I think him too now knows that pep guy as a wolf in. a sheep clothing it is so painful....I will be so glad if he does not win a single trophy in his 3 year stinct at city... .. he means no well for iheanacho and the iheanacho has refuse to think straight... wanna fight for his place when he has been denied the chance to prove himself.. may be during drills he will fight for his place. mtcheew
TheSuperNerd: It should be..... Back in the days before I was even born, Nigerian players all went to Belgium predominantly and grew into European football from there....
That period saw our first golden generation emerge.
Now again... we are seeing several of our youngsters making waves firstly in Belgium from where the big amd modestky big clubs are coming for them....
Look at Ndidi's move from Genk.... look at Simon moses being chased by a few English clubs... look at Henry Onyekuru also...
Belgium can indeed become our mecca in Europe.
And I am not saying the path to the top is the same for all our young players but this is the most advisable and best path for most of our young boys in terms of development and maturity so that our young starlets can move to better teams from there.
I know there are a few who may just make the big move but it is rare. KANU is an example... moved to Ajax, Intermilan and then to Arsenal.... all are big teams.
you're very right..even the Belgian clubs are licking their lips because they're making much from the transfer of these players...remember Genk president desiring to have one of ndidi every season...
I think NFF should think of partnering the Belgian league...it will help a lot
TheGoodJoe: What did Amunike do wrong because I do not get it? The boys lost out after they got fed up with the way the officials treated them. If you followed behind the scenes of the U17, the murmuring was already on. Amunike managed the team under bad conditions and lost under poor playing conditions. Why are people hell bent on the choice of players when the NFF made it difficult for the team to qualify. Judge them on fair conditions and not bias one.
let's leave this amuneke and his crew.. I guess they've learnt their lessons because they err big time...
how about iheanacho? he was not in city match day squad today... is he still undergoing pep drills.....?
Bumbae1: Trust me .. a guilty partner who cheats will use that guilt to frustrate the one who isn't to make themselves feel better and believe they must be doing the same because he is doing it too... You are forgetting they are in long distance trust me some married men will be calling like dat yet they have family with them abroad how will she know ?? Just saying . Its either he is obsessed and super protective ( if that is the case he would have taken her or by now made arrangements )
Relationship is not just black n white
you're very right... cheating partners are always the first to suspect their partner...they swiftly feel their partners is doing what they're doing...
and also his picture of relationship is very hazy he must have probably been mixing up with the wrong people who believe women can never be sincere or past experience is making him go nuts
TheSuperNerd: Oga thank you Biko.... thank you for being a perfect reminder that we also have Brian Idowu.... a fullback who can play as both right back and left back.... wow! can't believe I almost forgot about him....
So it can Elderson, Jordan and Idowu....
Uhmmmm... Sir TheGoodJoe... abeg forgive me for not calling Oshaniwa ooo.... abeg no break your plank for ma head.... u can add him as no.4 shaa... in the left back role... looolll
**runs from TheGoodJoe's presence** (whenever he shows up)
Icon4s: But Oshaniwa too follow for training crew na.
Who knows he may consider him. TheGoodJoe sebi?
I think he is currently not a first choice player in his team.. that might limit his changes... moreover a lot of options are now available to rohr.. even idowu is there SE is now more competitive than before
wow such a great goal... why the acrobatic display.. he can get injured from that... anyway. that kalu guy is really good...no one could imagine...he is playing his first season in Belgian top flight. rohr really has plenty options at his disposal..
