I miss the KOC triumvirate combo. With iwobi just behind the striker. That combo was devastating again ukraine.

The pitch is looking all smooth....Until it rains...

Humility what i know is that you don't owned good coach salaries and funny enough eight months.

It seems Rohr need Nigeria most than we need him.

Super Eagles Chief Scout, Tunde Adelakun:

“Nationality switch is very complicated. A player who was born in a country perhaps has been developed by the country where he or she was born to get to a point where he or she is being courted by one or two nations. It will always be difficult.

“Some of them only know the UK as a home for instance. Because that’s where they grew up. So they need to be softly convinced to jump ship. Makes it more complicated when they have played at one age-grade level for the European country where they were born. They need to write a letter unequivocally stating that they want to come to play for Nigeria, and that by writing that letter, they have given up their rights to ever play for their country of birth.

“That can be really scary for a young player. But they do. Then they need to prove their Nigerian citizenship. By having a passport of their own or at least for one of their parents to have a valid Nigerian passport. This proof of citizenship is key,”

“We also have to request from the nation’s FA (England and the home countries if the player is from the UK) asking them to give a no-objection verification to the NFF for the release of the player. Sometimes this is difficult because the said FA might still feel they potentially could do with the player’s services in the future.

“It’s when we get the no-objection confirmation that we can put it all together in a package and submit to FIFA for their approval,”

Rohr salaries being cleared: Finally gets his pay

So reports dropping this morning say Gernot Rohr has been paid 5 months dues out of the 8 months he's being owed.

This is according to Arise TV reports.

A few quote 6months salaries paid, but Oganla puts it at 5months salaries paid (quoting Arise TV) with 3 months salaries payment to go.

TheSuperNerd:
Based on the players in camp, it is very likely the lineup we should expect.

The shocker will be Iheanacho not getting to start if this comes true.

Onyeka over Bonke for me as DM. That is the right call. He is the bonafide Ndidi backup and should not even be paired alongside Ndidi unless when playing less fancied or less tactical teams.

Onyeka-Aribo-Iwobi could be the midfield against CAR and I trust they should be able to do enough to get us over the line.

Only change could see Iheanacho come in and Iwobi moved to the left with one of Simon/Kalu dropping to the bench. Time will tell.


Also, It would be the first time Onyeka plays DM (in the GWG) if he indeed starts and I would be paying close attention to his role because Ndidi needs a backup and he is my crowned backup to Ndidi. This would be his first test in the role in the GWG.

forgiveness:
What is the reason?

forgiveness:
Did you see Messi on South America’s list? How many goals has he scored this season?

Icon4s:
Abeg,

Make we no Start again

Where Komekn sef

eitsei:
based on current form Osimhen is better than a lot of strikers in Europe presently

eitsei:
Aubameyang has not been better than osimhen since last season

forgiveness:
Dude! Youssef En-Nesyri is there not to talk of Aubameyang.

Are you people being patriotic or being realistic?

forgiveness:
So Osimhen is the best African striker in Europe, abi?

PurpleHouse:
Rodger that. Thanks.

I nor too like insults like that. As a Benin man e dey make my head skip. Smiles.

PurpleHouse:
But it is not wah when he insults me first without me even referring to him or insulting him other than to make a simple and friendly point bah?

But it is chidish when an adults schools a kid?

mostob:
Gbas gbos everywhere...

I posted sometimes ago about how our NT is made up of our very own players who we nurtured...I was referring to the likes of Victor, Kelechi, Ndidi and co...

Olise will no doubt add quality to our midfield but that doesn't mean we should start wailing because he choose Algeria over Nigeria.

What we need to do is for NFF to go back to the drawing board and reshape our grassroot football. I'm 100% sure more quality players will emerge.

Now for those saying Nigeria is a bigger footballing brand than Algeria so Olise should play for us...with due respect that's an ignorant statement. There are many things to consider before choosing a country you want to play with... I can bet those saying these will not allow their ward to play for Nigeria when you consider the current state of the nation.
Chriskel was right, you all should stop tagging his view as political. Sport is a sector of the economy. If the economy is shaky, it will affect our football.

Make we forget Olise and concentrate on our OWN. Amoo is not doing bad in Sweden. Talents are emerging here and there.

How sure are we that this Olise will give his ALL if he decides to play for us.

We move

PurpleHouse:
Very proud people.

I have won so much in life due to humility and Negotiation strategies. Even the queen of my life that guys could not talk to due to her too much beauty and ikebe, as they were scared of rejection, I patiently toasted her sweetly for months only to realize she was even a Virgin. Na me win last last.

Learning how to talk, negotiate, communicate, and compassionate is a skill many Nigerians lack. Wa want am now now. That's where failure start.

If Rohr had don the needful like you rightly pointed out, all the FBs we approach, given enough time, will play for us. But he does it with no seriousness. Just blabbing via newspapers.

Go see the young man, he was probably waiting for you. But no!!!

PurpleHouse:
Business and Negotiation is a skill that I learned from Donald Trump. No. We should never beg anyone. Just make them an offer they cannot refuse.

Nff and Rohr say back expecting him to think it through when Algeria were busy doing all the dirty job. I reckon many if you laughed initially and mockef Algeria that theyll never get him. Well, here we go. The ones who wanted it the most, wit the best offer, got him.

Rohr is the fault here. I bet if dude was in Germany he would have done more to get him. But he allowed him slip away because we failed to paint am offer to him and make him see reasons to play for us. And yes, begging too is allowed. Begging not in a beggars way, but with a carrot offer that promises a win-win for both parties.

Algeria did that perfectly.

PurpleHouse:
You completely got it wrong bro. I feel most of us are pained because we could have as well have him. But I think the more serious side did, while we were hoping. We didnt negotiate or offer him reasons like Algeria did. They literally got in touch with every single one of his family members. Now thats how you know who Wants you most.

ChrisKels:
Algeria isn't a war torn country, they have almost same system and ideology with the Europeans and the sane Arab worlds. They don't breed terrorists like Nigerian, and the masses hold their leaders accountable. Nigeria is so backward and no sane human would trade Algeria for Nigeria. Living in Nigeria alone is a close shelve with death

Joebie:
There are lots of factors including those you stated.

Joebie:
I have been sceptical all through even when he was named to the standby list.

Tamunotonye22:
I like to be open minded,
I hope this isn't sarcasm Lol

Joebie:
There is definitely something Nigeria is not getting right. You can keep blaming those FB players for all you want.

ChrisKels:
Honestly, whenever a good player pops up like this, first thing I check is his origin, once he is Igbo or Yoruba, I dun comot mind, because I no say he is gone. But if na Edo, I dey always get hope

Tamunotonye22:
Y'all pray for me. I'm the no. 10 Nigeria needs � but time I leave it for. I'm really working as hard as I can while studying at the same time. I made progress this year and I'm sure my name is in the list of people that will be pro next year✊�. Thank you #T22

Tamunotonye22:
Move well please, don't down play him. He's still Nigerian and he has a choice which if you were in his shoe, you'd probably play for Oman not minding.

kingphilip:
I'm not saying we shouldn't reach out.

But when we've reached out and the players decide to go with their head or minds whichever they choose, we should let them be and continue searching for others.

Not whining on what should have been.

Regarding the bold, if true, that should be a lesson to the team's out in further pursuit.

But if he is gone, he should go and not we bashing him and asking what would he have added if he were to join our team.

DrKlever:
lol how is that possible

cromz:
Make we no dey stress on all these average English boys jare. What can oliseh play that iwobi,Ejiaria or Alhassan cannot play?
