Not so bro

I argued with the same person on this forum a few months ago about how the NFF were chronic debtors and owed Rohr salaries but the same person rebuffed my claims rudely.

Thank God Rohr has come out with the truth

OK, now I understand

darkelf:
I thought someone here said he was not being owed wages but was paid by aiteo

So, who do we believe now?

Huh! You'll believe 'someone here' over Rhor himself?

charlesemeka85:
Rohr hv been professional in his dealings with the nff. If say na local coaches na every day fight both with the nff n players. Lolz

True and very matured

So those of you always insinuating that Rhor is getting his salary as at when due or the NFF doesn't treat him like they treated past coaches because the old man no dey go media go cry the below is for you

charlesemeka85:
Apam was better than awaziem. He was a hell of a defender then in the colors of nice and Rennes, was at the verge of joining Sunderland in the epl before he got injured which hindered his career progression

Injury finished him, very good player

Icon4s:
Which midfield bench warmers? This was in 2008 and Mikel was very much an integral part of the Chelsea setting, Christian Obodo was still at Udinese and was still very much a regular with them. Seyi Olofijana was with Wolves in the EPL then and played 135 games between 2004 and 2008. Calculate it that will tell you average number of games he played per season. Yusuf Ayila waa with Dynamo Kyiv and as at then was even a regular name in their UCL fixtures.

Mikel+Obodo> Ndidi+Etebo
Meanwhile we still had Ayila, Keita and Olofijana then. Before our last game who were our other Midfielders? the aged Mikel and Ogu.

If una been no follow those players then make una talk

I really followed this team o, been following the SE full time since 2000 nations cup, this period was when Mikel was a full time DM full of sideways pass hardly inventive, Obodo shine today anonymous tomorrow

charlesemeka85:
why are you guys too negative minded? nawaooo!

It's just the truth, I can stake my money on it, he won't answer us

ChrisKels:
Ayila, Olofinjana and Kaita were exactly what we have today in Agu, Etebo, Onazi, full time roadside mechanics. Only Mikel would stake a claim. Ndidi and Iwobi would definitely start

Odia was good but he wouldn't start in a team that has a healthy Tyrone. None of those centre backs would start for Eagles today.

[b]In 2008, Enyeama was a full time calamity, [/b]hence he was benched for a Ligue2 player. Ikeme then was inactive, in fact, he was more or less clubless after his non league stint with Stockport County. Etafia was the Akpeyi of today, Aiyenugba was Ezenwa.

Like I said earlier, that team only had the attack going for them. Nothing special really

Not true, I remember lot of people were not happy about Vogt decision to bench him but Vogt said he preferred a taller GK

Icon4s:
Haha. The current team is better? According to Danny this was in 2008, which Enyimba goalie are u talking about? Ayenugba or Enyeama?

Which of the current Full backs can u compare with Odiah and Taiwo. Apam and Nwanneri combo may not be as good as Ekong/Omeruo/Balogun( accepted) But look at midfield of Mikel, Obodo, Ayila, Kaita and Olofijana. This is better than the current midfield composition.

Finally look at that attack. We had so many attackers that we were playing Utaka/Obinna and Osaze as WFs.
Kanu was an SS while Martins, Yakubu and Makinwa were CFs. Osinhem and Onuachu will not make the bench of that team. Even Ighalo.

Obodo was inconsistent, Ayila average player, Olofinjana poor man Makalele he was decent tho. Like I said in my earlier post the striking position was very good but please remove Makinwa that guy was a fraud of player I don't understand how he was able to play for Lazio and a very good Palermo then the full backs too were good Taiwo and Chidi.

Icon4s:
Chai! This squad na die. See the Keepers list, see the defense, see the strikers!!! Na who we been wan kill with this squad?

This is a very deep squad. The bench will definitely be as good as the starting 11. And this what the current team lacks. We have a good starting 11 but not bench.
That was why we could easily throw away a 2-0 lead after a few substitutions.

Them suppose show Rohr and NFF this list: "where we were and where we are now".

I have always said it that the 2000s Eagles squad had what it takes to conquer Africa and make a major impact in the WC but our non-participation in the 2006 WC was a major blow. That list up there was some time in 2005/2006.

I disagree, bunch of average players and bench warmers especially in the midfield and defence, the only place I see quality is in the attack Osaze, Martins, Kanu and the Yak were quality and in form that period

Humility017:
I totally agree with you on this....
We need Eze asap...dude can shoot wall from afar and can as well pass the ball very well though not too good like iwobi...I believe with time he will come good....

just pray Someone draws rohr attention on this.

Yinka and Eze should be called up asap for the friendlies...

while the NFF should make moves to lure Tomori one of the German born defenders preferably Agu.

Tomori won't answer us now, he's getting games for Chelsea so he must believe he's in with a chance to feature for the triple lions

Humility017:
Berti Vogts .2008 nations cup provisional list

Correct

tbaba1234:
Dennerby has issues with the NFF. Danjuma will probably act till they are resolved.

I see, then he shouldn't be taking such sensitive decisions since Denerby is suppose to come back

What's going on with the falcons? Have Denerby been sacked? Why is Danjuma the acting coach? He even went ahead to strip Desire of the captain band and give it to Asisat. I no understand o

komekn:
If l said this they would call me unpatriotic HATER.

But your view is not entirely without credence.

Na that kain talk dey give you orgasm

andrew444:
And soon he will be called a flop without him being given a chance

He trained, maybe he didn't impress in training, player wey no see game time na flop

Imama retains his job

The English league system has been the most competitive for quite some time.

Huddersfield got relegated last season from the EPL and within 7 games they are second to the bottom if the Championship with Stoke now at the bottom.

What you will notice that these two clubs still have the larger part of thier squads from the EPL. The idea that you get relegated from the EPL and bounce back immediately is not so easy.

I feel sorry for Etebo because unless his team starts to perform it will affect hus rating as well. And it's difficult to perform if your team is not perfoming too.

Meanwhile Huddersfield got beat by Sheffield Wednesday with two Nigerian origin players in the defence. Moses Odubanjo at RB and Dominic Iorfa at CB his preferred position.

this thing don dey pass obsession o, you and goodjoe I don't know who dey obsessed pass about the love of their lives

elyte89:
Las las dem go beat us 4-nil

Na, they'll beat us but it won't be a white wash maybe 2-0 sha

tbaba1234:
Brazil vs Nigeria

October 13. International friendly

We have Afcon qualifiers too abi, chei this one sweet me o

That's my boy

charlesemeka85:
Alex Iwobi was initially brought in for the u23 team but his fast rise in arsenal made way for him straight to the super eagles in the space of few months.

Oshimeh then was struggling in Germany but the reason for his early inclusion to the team was based on his exploit in the U17 and also as a kid who will learn from the likes of Ighalo and nacho who was doing well then both for Club and country. Oshimeh's invite to the national team wasn't always but was called up atimes to train with the team. Today we are benefiting from that idea of blooding him in early.

Shortly after the U-17 Osimhen was called up just to train with the eagles but Rhor was so impressed by what he saw that he decided to call him for subsequent games but when his career wasn't flying he was duly dropped. I can't see how that is a bad thing.

komekn:
Double standard and bigotry at work in the NFF.

At what stage of Alex Iwobi career ws he invited to the SE. At what stage stage was Victory Osimhen invited to the SE the same goes for the Nwakali brothers.

Sometimes players are invited to camp to have them checked out and give them a sense that they are valued. Classic example is Walcott and of course our own Dominic Iorfa.

Invitation is not selection but it sets the pathway for a fruitful relationship and sense of belonging. The NFF failed woefully in this regard to create relationship.

Finally, l can tell you that no SE player will divulge the ongoing in the SE in the public domain.

They may tell me but not the media.

I know without a shadow of doubt that with regards to Sone Aluko a particularl bull of a coach demanded he use his agent and take up options in Turkey then he will be recalled to the SE.

There are several other situations but l will not go into that. You never know when virtual turns too reality don't want any legal ⚖ issues.

lol, just say Amokachi with your full chest

komekn:
I can say Categorically as at a few months ago Tomori was waiting for Nigeria and the NFF to call. The same thing with Oviemuno and Seyi Ojo.

But NUTTIN happened.

We the NFF lack integrity we don't understand the word honouring your word we say one thing and do another. It's not entirely fault of Rohr but all these behind and around him.

nothing happened because nothing was happening with their carreer

ChrisKels:
Team aint just aging, worst thing is the dearth of young players coming through the ranks. I seriously do wonder what happened to Ghana.

since FIFA introduced MRI they've not qualified for the U-17 tourney

edi287:
Only way Musa is benching him is by the "experience" talk

someone that is warming bench at Leipzig, how do you know he's better than Musa?

kushercain:
That Laporte absence will cost them wella. See Otamendi having brain farts in box 18 smh

Why is he having brain farts? He's been training under pep for about 3 years now, is he not getting enough tactical knowledge?

timay:
Really?

He's not even half as good as Maddison that came from championship.
It you think Leicester bought Madison because he was somewhere in the championship soaking Knowledge like bread while warming bench

No, once he starts playing regularly he'll win the club player of the season just like Bojan, hleb, Chygyrinski and many more

Taliban:
Sitting on the bench isn't bad. He should rather try to sit close to the coach so he can soak in more knowledge from the master.

LMAO, what is this

TheSuperNerd:
I think he may be American. I know the Journalist. He is pretty versed on Nigerian football. He is one of those foreign journalists that believes Nigeria has a new golden generation rising strong.

Check out his posts and you will be stunned to discover how much he does know about Nigerian football although he makes the occasional gaffes here or there but he is really good... at least for a foreigner.

He wrote that abut Osimhen and hours ago he was singing Osimhen's praise again and even tagged this same tweet/thread. Zach is in love with Nigerian football most especially this new generation of Nigerian Super talents.

didn't know he's American, his knowledge of football is too deep, he has details of virtually every European football clubs and national team. It's true he believes we have a golden generation I've seen his write up about that, but how come no Nigerian media told us the reason Osimhen failed trials with those Belgian clubs? Making us believe he was not good enough

A European journalist wrote this shortly after he joined Lille

Bolowolowo:
While many on here have been satisfied with our 3rd place finish at AFCON, the American commentator on Bein Sports said it was a disappointing run. Other pundits have said similar things. This goes to show you that many in the football world hold us to a high standard.

Weytin them know about African football
