That's not a merit based system but a discriminatory and excluding one. That's essentially favoritism.

It enthrones mediocrity so because your in Nigeria born and or bred you should be favoured.

The NFF youth teams are not a social welfare programme.

TheSuperNerd:
And it remains really POOR. Tying himself in the neck? Hahahahaha.. just talking as usual.
I think you just lacked the understanding to comprehend the major pointers I destroyed your business points with. Don't worry, raise your kids to have such shady sense of character when it comes to issues like these aiit, I'm sure they will make you proud.

Martin Keown said of Traore considering his BLISTERING DEVASTATING PACE possibly the fastest player in the World.

That he is like a learner driver behind the wheels of a Ferrari. However, it seems like he is finally learning how to control and master the powered speed at his disposal.

IMO once he learned how to use his unique attributes he is UNSTOPPABLE. That's incredible potential not suprised Spain want him thru have nobody like him.

And if he learns how to merge speed with technique. He will be great asset for any team

Danielnino00:
Just answer the question..

Danielnino00:
So u would chose to reject the offer from employer A even when your chance of staying longer with them is much higher than with employer B?

komekn:
Some people have a very different understanding of what they think wisdom is.

Humility017:
then why is Oga raising dusts and even Joebie is stylishly supporting him in one of his mentions

nawa oooo

forgiveness:
You think every country are as arrogant at my Naija people?

BascoVanVeli:
Why can't Adama make the Spanish team? They actually need a player like him on their team. If 4 Villarreal players can get back to back calls for the Spanish national team I don't see why not

Mujtahida:
I think there's common sense in what the goodjoe said. I even think that to the u17- down to the u20 should be left exclusively for Nigerian home grown talents except foreign born players who are exceptional at that age (those who are in the field will be able to spot an exceptional player when one pops up)

At the stage of the 17-20 age grade, the stake in footballing terms is not too high. We can safely keep it for our local boys without too great a loss.

Taliban:
Please let no one bring up Anthony joshua discussion here again ever as he's an Englishman as well. If you know you know.

jihday:
Osimhen would have been better than anybody we could have gotten, imagine Tammy too came and we had them in our team can you imagine how lethal we'll be?

TheGoodJoe:
Leave the U17 for enabling players in the Grassroots develop. The U20 and U23 is there for foreign born. We Could have a super eagles team B that will be playing friendly games where the foreign borns could play and have a home based team also.

But the U17 should remain for thorough scouting of special home based talents and develop them.

Let us not finally destroy the u17 system that brought the country so much joy. We ruled the World in that aspect. Let us not kill it but improve on the scouting in a more comprehensive manner.

Utonwanne:
Joebie is deviating but I think you are upping the fire. Let's stop all these abeg.


Joebie , you gotta stop your Tammy obsession. We 've lost him, that's the truth

jihday:
Noooo, you don't understand. U-17/U-20 equal opportunity for all, senior team if the coach feel they are good enough to bench current players then bring them in, but we shouldn't bring them because we want to cap tie them

somehow:
Na real was

Most Nigerians are like their politicians jare

jieta:
Urhobo man, good to meet you.

jihday:
Unless we want to invite them to our youth teams or if we have a deficiency in their position e.g okoye, I totally agree with you if a player isn't as good as who we have there's no point bringing him in just to cap-tie him. It's the same thing Spain are trying to do that we are crying blue murder urging us to do same is just being hypocritical

somehow:
Why did they not vote for him during nomination?

You guys can't even practice Small democracy here but are quick to insult real politicians.

All the 13 people that liked this comment had the opportunity to vote for him but didn't, now trying to break Democratic rules.

If he's not there or not really available, won't life continue?

Make una respect una self jare.

All I am saying is allow the kids to weigh their options and choose what's best for them rather than using and dumping them.

The final decision is made by the kids and their advisers but the European FAs do alot of underground work behind the scene to convince this kids of which their club managements re involved as well.

I could remember when eze was called up to the English u20 side he was granted an interview and he said he wants to represent Nigeria in international football which surfaced in qpr's official site but was taken down immediately. I saw it myself and no be hear say

The next day Eze accepted the English call up.

jihday:
I agree, they have the right to play them because they actually groomed them

jihday:
I swear, it's what Yoruba call aje ke lana omo ku leni

andrewbaba44:
Lol

your matter weak me

andrewbaba44:
Nigeria is not spain, nigeria wey dey fight for ebere eze

You know how many players spain get?

Nigeria wey dey fight for championship bang average player na him you wan compare their situation with spain

andrewbaba44:
Lol to be sincere this joebie is a very funny dude

Can you imagine what he is saying self ?

There are players better than this traore, this spanish must be doing something fishy, adama has not been better than deulofeu this season self

Spain skip pure spanish boys like azoye perez and deulofeu for adama traore

andrewbaba44:
To be sincere adama is not good enough for spain

I no understand this your mentality, so because he score brace against mancity don turn achievement ?

Adama has not even done what inaki williams,iker munian has done self or cellejon and they could not even get more appearance

Adama is about to waste his international career

charlesemeka85:
CAF really needs to approach fifa to find a lasting solution to this nonsense. This kids were born and groomed in Europe doesn't mean that they must be cajoured to dump the country of their parents when it's obvious they won't have a long and fullfilling career with the national teams of their country of birth.

FIFA have to make changes to the change of allegiance process by allowing this kids to change allegiance to the country of their parents with ease even when they have featured for the Europeans at the u21 level. Also a player must acquire up to 10 caps subsequently in the national team of their choice before they will be tied for life to that country and their club management must to interfere in their decisions.

If traore is cap tied now by the Spaniards and Rodrigo returns tomorrow what becomes of the former?

charlesemeka85:
I agree to the bolded but it's only folks here who talk about pride always. The aim of this Europeans is to stock pile talented kids of immigrants for the purpose of leaning on them if their pan out to be world class in the near future.

I hv stated in previously in this forum for the need to incorporate this kids to our various national teams when they are yet to hit stardom but I was called all sort of names for suggesting such.

Germany few months ago invited an unproven Felix agu to their u21 team just because he had a positive discussion with Rohr to represent Nigeria and was penciled down for the Ukraine friendly.

The same with the case of ebere eze, danjuma and now adama traore. Fifa really needs to look into this matter seriously and that won't happen unless CAF makes the move.

Imagine ex barca youngster munir left in limbo just because Spain rushed and capped him which denied him the chance to represent Morocco at the last world cup and have since then overlooked for call up to the Spanish national team.

Look at the case of dele alli now who have been abandoned because of the emergence of Maddison and Mount.

Also I blame the advisers and parents of this kids who fell advise this kids well to weigh their options very well before rushing to decide.

charlesemeka85:
Oga this is just a plot to stop the guy from turning out for Mali, it's obvious.

He scored against man City and then what? You and I watch football and know the strenght and playing style of the best national teams in the world so do you think or see traore having a long career with the Spaniards?

Lets just be factual here instead of been logical. Do you think traore would have been called up to the Spanish national team if Mali re yet to approach him?
