Go back and see Nigeria vs Lesotho again and sincerely tell me how many passes the nigga missed then watch Nigeria U23 vs South Africa and tell me how many passes Zuby missed....may God help Zuby enter better club and all you haterz go carry gbese. Khaki nobi leather. Nonetheless, Ndidi is a good player but he was also lucky, while Zuby has not had so much luck. This happened to Osimhen and now Onyekuru but we know their talents. If Zuby moves to a better club na end of story ooo. Dont say I didnt tell you so, the nigga na midfield boss. He can play DM, CM and even attacking

charlesemeka85:
Bro I never told you that Rohr have achieved more than keshi

BascoVanVeli:
No the system can be changed right now. The nff can create measures to ensure that their referees don't get compromised. The NRA can do more to punish foul refs on sight. This all can be done today.

OMANBALA1:
It doesn't take a seer to spot an intelligent individual, brother. And , no , Keshi is not corrupt. It's a matter of preference and like I said a fit Zuby will start ahead of a fit Ndidi....my preference.

Animals in human skin

charlesemeka85:
not only corrupt but well connected politically. i bet you that if not that jonathan lost to buhari keshi would have remain as the super eagles head coach prior to his demise.

i still make jokes that sacking keshi was the only good dividends from buhari's government because if not pinnick wouldn't have had the guts to dare authorities from higher places in jona's government then who were pals with keshi.

do you have an idea of how many times pinnick tried to sack keshi but was stopped by powers beyond him?

winning the afcon turned keshi to a monster and demi god at the same time which gave him more leverage yo carry out his dubious practices without blinking in conjunction with tony harris who was the agent of almost all the deadwoods that made keshi's team on a regular basis

OMANBALA1:
You may have missed my point. I am saying that the current set of players Rohr is working with are some of best talents in Africa and even across the world to stretch it. We agree on that but I want us all to understand and agree that the success of this very set is not in anyway rested on the tactical abilities of Rohr. He inherited those players from our "corrupt" Nigerian coaches. Keshi , Siasia , Eguavon didnt have these sort of talents,when they coached the Eagles....you know ,like Pep struggling to win matches at the Champions League without his Barcelona special talents...lol. In essence, Rohr was simply lucky-in the right place at the right time. He is not a genius! However, I think he knows how to manage players attitudes and behaviors.

BascoVanVeli:
Tell our government to stop bribery. Why should everyone be forced to leave just to make it when we have a league?

I personally don't care who coaches because at the end of the day we only look at results.

OMANBALA1:
So, Otigba , Ajagun , Imo etc were the players that were gonna win the world cup for Nigeria...come on, soul brother! The truth is that that era was the drought period. Dont sugarcoat anything. In reference to those players , where are they today? Their world class quality suddenly disappeared? Shouldn't we be criticizng Rohr for ignoring Onyekuru who was one of our hottest players in Europe ,while he paraded a spineless Simon. Why arent you up in arms screaming corruption ? Africans worship white people like God starting from the white Jesus in your catholic church...its deep brainwashing...lol..works like magic.

Those average players you listed up there werent gonna make any big difference and its ultimately a matter of preference. Haruna Lukman , Taye Taiwo and co were mere pretenders and we saw how they fizzled out with time. Every coach has his preferred tactics and players. If I were a coach Iwobi will be selling gala, Ndidi will sit for Zuby...my choice.

OMANBALA1:
Let's not forget to give credit where its due. The two time a Nigerian club won the prestigious African Champions League they were led by our indigenous coaches in the person of Khadiri Ikhana MON and Okey Emordi MON. Again , the root of corruption in Nigeria cant be traced to Nigerian coaches. They work in a broken system. The government are responsible for the decay

EmmGee:
Kelechi Iheanacho makes the bench!!

This is NOT a drill

Kbs468:
Bring it on na. Why not. Is Tammy be not a Nigerian? Abi hell will let loose because he opted for England?

charlesemeka85:
likewise i myself because i will boast to be one of the realest here who spit things the way they are. i am no longer a kid who's submissions are based on what is trending in the media or our football circle. atleast i am old enough to acknowledge the truth when i see one and will never back out from saying it

i have been following the super eagles right from the mid nineties and from that period till date it will be ignorant to address me as a novice in matters related to nigerian football except our female teams which i don't follow much.

no matter the hate it takes nothing from us admitting the fact that rohr have done well since taking over the coaching responsibility of the super eagles and based on my personal rating i will give him 7/10

i knew little about him and wasn't really sold out on him when the nff brought him on board but after watching his first 2 games against tanzania at home and zambia away i knew the man has something to offer which grew my confidence in him and the team.

i will be a drastic decision if the nff decide to allow him leave

BascoVanVeli:
Did Keshi make his name in the Nigerian league? Why must the league be the excuse to every equation?

Kbs468:
SAKA-Not even on the bench

Subs: Martinez, Mustafi, Maitland-Niles, Nelson, Pepe, Willock, Martinelli.

OMANBALA1:
You subtly lobby to keep the post when you envision a bright future and you do this with your body language/non verbal cues. Rohr is not necessarily after money like some shortsighted and visionless African coaches who have no interest in living a legacy but want quick money to stuff their pockets. Unlike Africans who eat while the pot is still on the fire white people think about future. He want to make history as the white man who was the first coach to lead an African team to world cup glory....common, brother you are brighter than this. That man want to steal the sweat of our indigenous coaches.

charlesemeka85:
bros make we reason abeg, can you name coaches from the local scene who you deem better than rohr?

are you referring to the period we were made to believe by a certain coach that the likes of uchebo,reuben,oboabona,kwambe,oshaniwa,nwofor just to mention a few were better than:

imoh ezekiel who took the belgian league by storm then as a rookies in the colors of standard liege?

abdul ajagun who was doing very well in the colors of greek giants panathinakos?

taiye taiwo and haruna lookman who were ever present figures in dynamo kiev then?

obafemi martins who was scoring for fun in levante and continued with the same form in the mls?

otigba who was a young defender then playing regularly in dutch club heereveen?

sone aluko who was doing well in glasgow rangers and continued with the form when he joined championship side hull city?

ejide who was miles better than chigozie agbim?

Kbs468:
ARSENAL starting Eleven vs SOUTHAMPTON



Arsenal XI: Leno; Chambers, Luiz, Sokratis; Bellerin, Guendouzi, Torreira, Tierney; Ozil; Lacazette, Aubameyang

OMANBALA1:
Spare me the buullshit Rohr. You will be a ffool if you dont fight to have your contract renewed. This is simple, Nigeria is blessed with abundant talents that can make you write your name in gold..These current set of talented players we are spoilt with have what it takes to lift the world cup and you know this Rohr. It will be your lost if you leave. Secondly, no European country want you and when it comes to Africa how many countries can boast of the same quality of players Nigeria currently parades. Bottom line, you need Nigeria more than we need you...tactically deficient franco-german! Your departure will be a blessing to Nigeria sef

charlesemeka85:
Good observation. All u said truly summarized his performance yesterday. He is a talented kid no doubt with alot of potentials but still hv alot to learn.

Judging by the talents England currently possess in th AM position he really needs to do more to get few caps with the 3 lions, even in thier current u21 set up I rate willock and foden ahead of him.

His best bet in international football is with Nigeria but is he better than Alex Iwobi? To me the answer is no.

He will be a good competition for the Everton player so his inclusion in the team will be a welcomed one.

Also from my own observation I prefer ovie ejaria to him. The reading fc man is more talented than Eze. He is stronger, direct and more commanding in midfield duels than the qpr man.

Rohr on convincing players to switch allegiance

''We're working on it but it isn't good to announce. Give them time to think about it.

''When you look for a girlfriend & put her under pressure, she won't come but if you wait for a good moment to talk, perhaps she'll come.''

komekn:
It's also Vice versa.

Your unrestricted prejudice and bias betrays you.


It works both ways the SE is not a dumping ground for players in the name of unsubstantiated unproven home grown "SPECIAL TALENT"

It's not about where you were born it's about being Nigerian and the best players are selected.

Unfortunately the subject matter is very subjective and opinionated ny many here so it's almost impossible to have clarity based strictly on merit.

iSlayer:
There's an Effiong, Nwoko and Mbong in the Maltese national team. The NFF should go for them, they're all foreign born

iSlayer:
Tottenham's woes are not helping at all. However, you're right he has quite a challenge unseating those other guys but Dele is good too o and he has done well in England Colours.

The main point however I'm trying to pass is that Dele hasn't been "dumped". If he hits form he's automatically back in contention.

Danielnino00:
I totally disagree .. there are still a lot of minnows in Africa football . The problem is that the bigger boys just don't know how to beat them.. indeed a lot of African teams aren't tactically sound enough.. na jam body football dem dy take survive.. that's why a lot of them have greatly underachieved in football .
U see that Comoros team,give them a below average team from Europe like Lithuania, Kosovo and Albania and they will be well beaten..

Turkish champions Galatasaray are hoping to seal a deal for Monaco striker Henry Onyekuru in the January transfer window, according to reports.

Sporx claims that the Principality club have given the green light for the Nigeria international to head to Galatasaray when the transfer window reopens.

Monaco have demanded a 2.5 million euros loan fee from Galatasaray for the deal to go through and Onyekuru is expected to join the Istanbul giants on loan for 18 months.

The former Everton striker has struggled for game time since transferring to the Ligue 1 side, with only two starts from a possible 13 across all competitions.

As a result of a lack of playing opportunities, Super Eagles manager Gernot Rohr omitted Onyekuru from the rosters for the friendly against Brazil and the recent Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers against Benin and Lesotho.

The 22-year-old had a successful loan spell at Galatasaray last season, helping them win the Super Lig and Cup and had a hand in 22 goals (16 goals, 6 assists) in 44 matches.
