Some things just have to be said the way it is. I would even add that Tyronne Ebuehi is down the pecking order (still hasn't returned to form). I would even take a Musa Yahaya ahead of him as a RB at the moment. That said, Musa Yahaya needs to move to another league and try to reach his true potential as an AM.

Agreed bro

I noticed but I don’t wanna talk about it

Don’t have the strength to go into gk arguement with anyone

I can say he is a better option than maduka

David Nwokolor has made the bench consistently for Rijeka this term. There is nothing wrong with trying him out. Cameroon's Fabrice Ondoa have been a regular benchwarmer in the Jupiler league although a starter in the past. There was a time he was even benching Onana of Ajax. You never know if you don't try him. I would try Nwokolor first before moving to div 2 keepers who are still in their teens. cc kog45

You are right, he had a couple games in La Liga, but afterwards was relegated and active in La Liga II prior to his call up.

safarigirl:
Uzoho was in the first division, I can never forget. He had just played his first game for that his club in Division 1 and La Liga was asking Nigerians in pidgin, if we thought he had done well enough to earn a call-up. I think he played 3 games in La Liga before his call-up, prior to that his debut, dem been no even mention am

Why would an agent or football associate.

Based in the UK go carry bad market.

Do you know how problematic it is too get a player from Nigeria to the UK. It's already a failed business plan.

When there are multiple African origin players who don't carry the problematic excess baggage allowance of work permit, TPI, signing dubiously with multiple agents, talking to the corrupt club chairmen and academy owners in Nigeria ,etc

That's a very very poor business plan.

When l can sit in England get a few players signed and pull in a few thousand every week not naira but £££

I shared your post. But I will only agree with you if Belgium calls up Dessers and he turns them down.

Blueelf:
Sentiments apart, should Iorfa or Adarabioyo start firing on all cylinders, they'll still choose England over Nigeria

These kids don't have real love. Only dessers is different for some reason

The whole of Portugal should stay clear from anything NIgerian
charlesemeka85:
According to Portuguese sports daily A Bola, Primeira Liga powerhouse Sporting Lisbon are eyeing a move for Heracles Almelo striker Cyriel Dessers, who recently committed his international future to Nigeria.

Sporting Lisbon are the second European club linked with a move for the Eredivisie top scorer this week, after Italian Serie A outfit Cagliari.


The scouting team of the Lions has been keeping tabs on the Dutch top-flight this season and identified the Super Eagles hopeful as a potential signing.

Sporting CP have scored 19 goals in 12 league matches this term, with top scorer Bruno Fernandes, who is a midfielder, accounting for five of the goals, and they are looking to bolster their attacking options by signing a new striker in the January transfer window.

In addition to Dessers' 11 goals in 15 league games this season, he has scored another two in the TOTO KNVB beker, and has registered five assists in all competitions.

The 24-year-old previously played for Oud-Heverlee Leuven, Lokeren, NAC Breda and FC Utrecht.
SportsRe: "The Super Eagles Thread: The Road To AFCON 2027, 2028 And 2030 World Cup by Joebie: 12:35am On Dec 08, 2019
A player has to be very outstanding before we can start to talk about that player being indispensable. Ajayi should watch his back. That's how it's supposed to be.

OMANBALA1:
After all, Omeruo hadn't sealed that spot he could walk right back into the starting eleven after a period of absence.
SportsRe: "The Super Eagles Thread: The Road To AFCON 2027, 2028 And 2030 World Cup by Joebie: 12:31am On Dec 08, 2019
This is the reason why I voted Omeruo the best defender. I think your performance at a tournament proper should carry more weight. He was our best CB at the AFCON this year. And was even our best CB in Russia 2018 imo
semid4lyfe:
Unpopular Opinion

The worst defender in the Super Eagles fold presently is William Troost Ekong.
SportsRe: "The Super Eagles Thread: The Road To AFCON 2027, 2028 And 2030 World Cup by Joebie: 12:27am On Dec 08, 2019
coincidentally, for the second consecutive game, both players have played side by side for Sheffield Wednesday. If Odubajo can stay consistent we will have to bring him into the convo also.

ChrisKels:
He was ok then as a right back, I was more impressed with Hull's Odubajo, though.
SportsRe: "The Super Eagles Thread: The Road To AFCON 2027, 2028 And 2030 World Cup by Joebie: 12:25am On Dec 08, 2019
I think Ajayi taking Omeruo's place is a welcome development. This is how it should be. When a player is absent, and another comes and steals the show, that returnee player should be made to fight hard to get back his shirt. That's the making of excellent teams. I commend Rorh for that.

ChrisKels:
Yea, little wonder he keeps him on the bench for Ajayi. grin
SportsRe: "The Super Eagles Thread: The Road To AFCON 2027, 2028 And 2030 World Cup by Joebie: 12:22am On Dec 08, 2019
Carl Ikeme was a 2nd division keeper na. I will take a second division keeper over an academy keeper like Okoye. Even Uzoho where he for dey keep when we first invite am?
However, I believe there could be some good keepers in the NPFL

Kog45:
Are they good enough?cos keeping for 2nd division clubs in Isreal and Austria not good enough for SE,reason why i frowned at Maduka invitation.

Do we need to blame Rohr for not scounting from home ground when we have a very poor league
SportsRe: "The Super Eagles Thread: The Road To AFCON 2027, 2028 And 2030 World Cup by Joebie: 12:16am On Dec 08, 2019
They are above average using AFCON standard as a benchmark wink . Many of us don't look beyond that, when WC reach and e happen we go dey find winch to blame. haha

Kog45:
My beautiful sister,any good addition to me is acceptable.

Oh just using Fikayo as a case when you said Iorfa can be chilling for now cos we have 4 CBs meaning if Fikayo is available he too can chill.

On our CBs quality, well my opinion they are average.

Omeruo always show up in tournaments proper. you can't take that away from him. in AFCON and WC, you can count on him.

ChrisKels:
U know that feeling when a South African hears Omeruo will be starting against them? grin

My dear, I can count the number of games Omeruo did well in the GWG, but I have lost count of where he was calamitous.

safarigirl:
You did not read immediate need? For now, there is no immediate need. I did not say they should shut out anyone, that is why I said Dominic will have to bid his time.

Even those currently in the team for defense, did not just stroll in. I just said that for now, there is nowhere to put new defenders, especially CBS
SportsRe: "The Super Eagles Thread: The Road To AFCON 2027, 2028 And 2030 World Cup by Joebie: 3:35am On Dec 07, 2019
Not starting shirt, but should be invited to vie for a place in the match-day squad.

simiife:
I agree with u and joebie,apart from sustaining injuries and experiencing a dip in form, the only super eagles player that I currently see as indispensable is Ndidi,so if there's a new addition to the team that is performing better in his club,he should be given the starting shirt.
SportsRe: "The Super Eagles Thread: The Road To AFCON 2027, 2028 And 2030 World Cup by Joebie: 2:10am On Dec 07, 2019
It's funny when some say what we have is sufficient.. When World Cup reach we go know how far. A team without a solid bench can't do nada. You have to present your best possible.. no be AFCON party

SportsRe: "The Super Eagles Thread: The Road To AFCON 2027, 2028 And 2030 World Cup by Joebie: 2:01am On Dec 07, 2019
form is not permanent. That's why continuous competition is necessary. Don't be surprised that even some of these youthful players will have a deep in form at some point. What do you do then? Still shut out other players who are showing great form at their club on the ground that we have a young team? Next year is 2020, although we hope that our players stay excellent and consistent throughout the year, it rarely happens in football. So let's keep the sentiments aside, when any of our players start to struggle or become consistent bench warmers they have to be shown the way out until they can fight their way back in the team. That is how excellence is achieved.

safarigirl:
the thing is, what we have in the team is sufficient.

This isn't five years ago, when most of the team had aged considerably, this is a youthful team, so one would have to work twice as hard to get into thiss team, and to be sincere, the immediate needs are a midfielder and a striker, the defense has no immediate need, so, Dominic will be chilling for a while.

But there is such thing as goal per min ratio. You choose your narrative based on what side of the fence you want to be.

komekn:

There is no correlation what so ever in any way.


One is a self generated statement view point linked to time and not neccesarily a matter of fact but an observation with deduction.


The other i.e. the 50 games is an open irrefutable MATTER of FACT not opinion.

So explain how in your opinion the two totally different subjects have a correlation. Because I see absolutely none.

The number of games you play is factual it's not qualified by how many minutes you played.

For example another perspective, the term supersub is coined from players coming on as sub and consistently having impact whether that's for 5 minutes or for 45.

If you get 5 minutes and you perform you'll get 10 minutes and if you perform again next time you'll get 30 minutes and if you have been outstanding and consistent.

You may become the first name on the team sheet. That's what having impact on the game irrespective of the time does for you. You then become a first team regular. This is very common established practice in football irrespective of location.

He can sure be an option because rumors has it that West Ham is interested?
Any valid reason?

ChrisKels:
I am no big fan of Akpom, but he can sure be an option...



Akpom To Join West Ham in January


According to The Athletic , West Ham are said to have already made contact with Greek side PAOK over a potential deal for front man Chuba Akpom, who started his career at Arsenal.


It is believed the east London club were keen to bring Akpom in last summer, but in the end a deal failed to materialise.

While he was tempted to move in the summer, Akpom first wanted to see if PAOK qualified for the Champions League.


But they failed to make the cut having been dealt a difficult qualifier against last season’s semi-finalists Ajax, who beat them 5-4 on aggregate in two close-run legs.


French outfits Reims and Nice also hold strong interest in the player, while Bundesliga side Cologne are said to be considering a move.


Yet Akpom’s preference is to seal a return to England, meaning West Ham are in the driving seat in the race for his signature once the January transfer window opens.

That definition, I’ve learned something today. But make u go watch iheanacho games pre-U17 AFCON, for the AFCON proper and in UAE U17 WC, u go know how far.

komekn:
You DISSAPOINTMENT me because you are suppose to be the future of Nigeria. What a bleak future with people like you.

You are supposed to be lawyer and in that context there should have been a transfer of the associated skill set as well as methodology in most of your engagements.

BUT THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NONE.

You should be investigative factual but instead your emotive where substantive deduction are required you are opinionated. How on earth do you intend to be a good lawyer even if you don't practice.

You talk without substance with supposition birthed from prejudiced perception.

Below the fifa definition of home grown players.

My reference to "home grown" was in the context of the FIFA definition not one created by myself.

UEFA defines locally-trained or 'homegrown' players as those who, regardless of their nationality, have been trained by their club or by another club in the same national association for at least three years between the age of 15 and 21.

Yes KC has been given lots of minutes in 50 games, is that not similar to posting a story without revealing the date?

komekn:
Two different clubs with different standards and expectations. You can not compare the two.

Atsu is an African player who hasn't done much in quite a few seasons in Newcastle was literally benched at Everton. But has been given a lot of time infact too much time and he still isn't that great.

KC has had 50 games in the EPL for Leicester and he hasn't performed. That's the cold hard truth there are no excuses or special considerations because he is KC from Nigeria.

Now you probably call that view biased prejudiced and unbalanced. Just call a spade a spade.

He had a good game yesterday is it enough not yet. But he's got a chance to make a claim.

But please remove the idea that he's not been given chances or not treated fairly he has had too many. This is the EPL you don't get many chances.

I don't create an exclusive standard for a player because he is Nigerian therefore his case is different.

It's one standard for all players.

Oh but when KC comes along it is a different standard there are multiple Nigerian players doing good things in thier league.

But l don't see anybody celebrating one goal in a a whole year in their league as if he has just won the Bal on Dor.
