I was working on something similar sometime ago. I can supply u with those. Let me know when ur done with ur exams.

daveP:
Ive not kick started it. cosvof exams ongoing. But I'll need some primary data. Leagues and clubs Nigerians are. It's not gonna be difficult setting up. it's my field. But for time now.... asides that, it's very much on my mind.

daveP , how is the mathematic modeling project coming?

You want to play Onyekuru as a 9 instead? Truth is we don’t have reliable forwards when it comes to headers. However we have midfielders that can overlap and do the job.

Maybe we throw in Simy then

damsund:
With kalu exploits in taking crosses, we need a CF who can convert them. As regards heading in crosses, Onyekuru I know, Iheanacho I know (not too sure), but who is Musa?

If that our keeper was really bad, the Bournemouth keeper should be given a chance against CIV. I see no reason why we can’t qualify from this group and become the eventual champs. If we don’t qualify, I would t blame it in the zoning. I will blame it on our failing to screen our players thoroughly. We know our problem. We should take these things seriously

daveP:
The zoning is going to back fire soon. wonder what those guys wana do at u17. well whatever happens I hope they get brain fast. West Africa combined have 5 u17 world cups. Well if I'm to choose between removing Hayatou and getting this new format, I'll choose removing Hayatou.

I placed Kalu at the right and Musa at the left. Another option is to start Onyekuru at the left and play Musa as a CF. I think these are the best forwards we have at the moment.

chiscodedon:
Think still gonna encounter same problem in man united team where alexis, rashford and martial perfect there play in same wing department.... Here Musa, Kalu and Onyekuru are at there peak operating from left side of the wing, gonna be an issue on whom to start ahead... Unless Rohr decides striking Musa

U20 is a far higher level compared to U17. I think this stage may be the best time to recruit all deserving FBs. We should really screen the domestic scene even if it means going down to the NNL. We need to get the best. At this level the chances of finding those that will become eventual stars is higher than the U17 level.

gamaliel9:
winning the u17 five times has not really brought us glory at senior level....Olympics is an age group competition....most national teams i think have more players who win at u21 than players who win at u17...Argentina is a perfect example of this....even Columbia....i think we should add more vibe to u21 than u17...

Again the transition from u17 to u21 does not really work like that...we always crash when we do it.

Its better we transit from u21 to national team...most players who play in national team were already members of the Olympic team....

Ndidi failed the MRI that didn’t make him change his age. In my estimation the boys should be within the age limit of 20.

edi287:
With their real age or the same ones they used for U17?

Well if some are better than our current crop of U20, why not? Personally I would scrutinize the team and fish out the overaged players.

gamaliel9:
Thats really my point and beyond Africa too if they qualify

Do we have time for fresh call ups? Those on reserve have already been notified that they are in the reserve list though.

Danielnino00:
Are there any replacements lineup up for Ekong,Iwobi and Aina?


I would suggest
Ekong- Seth
Iwobi - Bonaventure/Success
Aina- Muhammed

It depends on what you thought I meant by my statement. Firstly the players are most likely between the ages of 17 and 20. Now the big question is can they compete with the current U20 players for spots in the team? I never meant those transition experiments.

gamaliel9:
Good point..but i fear that previous experiments with such transitions always failed for us....u21 stage needs certain maturity..experience...yes experience...and a lot of grit...if you watched all our games so far in this age group...you will notice that the ones we went far were not really through transition....but a combination of experience...grit...etc Not that we cannot get one or two players to transit...its ok...the last debacle is still fresh

Those players that failed the MRI should be considered for selection in the Flying Eagles.

Sincere Seth or Musa Muhammed?

charlesemeka85:
Torino wing-back Ola Aina has pulled out of international duty with Nigeria after sustaining a muscular injury football Italia reports.


However, Toro announced Aina will not be able to attend international duty for Nigeria’s game against the Seychelles on September 8.

It could possibly mean a late call up to NK Gorica of Croatia right full back Musa Mohammed who was placed on standby in the list of players called up for the clash by coach Gernot Rohr.

Aina would have filled into the right back position with ease following injuries to the duo of Tyronne Ebuehi and Shehu Abdullahi. A replacement is expected to be named later today by Rohr.

Warri! But all this monitoring rumors eh...

charlesemeka85:
Former Warri Wolves Feeders midfielder, Igbekeme James Omonigho has made his third consecutive full competitive appearance for Spanish Segunda Liga side, Real Zaragoza in the Spanish Segunda División since making his move from Portugal.

The highly gifted midfielder was a star performer in his team's 1-1 home draw with visiting Las Palmas at the Estadio de la Romarenda on Saturday.

Known as Otele James in Nigeria, James Igbekeme played all 90 minutes in Zaragoza's 2-1 home win over Rayo Majadahonda on 19 August and also in the tie against Reus Deportiu away from home at the Estadio Camp Nou on 25 August.

The tricky midfielder who started his career at All-Stars FC Effurun at Uvwie LGA of Delta State was a teammate of Super Eagles World Cup Star, Oghenekaro Etebo at Warri Wolve Feeders before making his move to Portuguese side G.D. Ribeirão in 2013 through the efforts of Nigerian scout Paul Ojo.

Igbekeme James Otele signed for fellow Portuguese LigaPro side Gil Vicente F.C. in June of 2017 and made his league debut on 6 August 2017, starting and scoring the winner in a 2–1 away defeat of FC Porto B.

He eventually moved to Spain joining Zaragoza on a four-year deal in June 2018.

The 23-year-old is currently being monitored by national handlers as he is being considered for a possible future invitation to the Super Eagles.

“Fikayo” looked Yoruba to me. His last name looks more like an Ijaw name TO ME.

Let him wait for another call to the National team. With his addition our wing position will become more loaded than ever. Glad to see Isaac Success being used as a 9 lately.

ChrisKels:
2goals, 1 assist for Nwakaeme as Trabzonspor beat Galatasaray 4-0.

That's a MOTM performance from the striker.

Lol

TheSuperNerd:
My own is that I knew he was locked in for 10/10. No need for clairvoyance. Lol

Nwakaeme makes WhoScored best XI for sure. I don’t need to be a seer to know

The season is still young.

safarigirl:
LOL....wetin I talk?

Shebi e don big pass national team. Rohr don call up too many small children and he cannot be following them to do padipadi......he should better start hustling Supersport or Sky Sports analysis job, that is where all the decent retirees go

Klopp said he knew it would happen one day but never thought it would in thier next game. Allison will remember that shirt number — 8

TheSuperNerd:
Alisson: (I am the Messi of Goalkeepers). I won't stop taking risks. I won't stop dribbling... I am a don...


Little young Nacho: **steps up and...**

Iheanacho capitalized on Allison’s reckless showboating

Hahaha give him some respect my sister

safarigirl:
Victor Moses' retirement plans are going well

Kai Victor Moses is gonna need the National team

andrew444:
Victor Moses not on the bench.

Balogun Starts from the bench.

Lol. I guess they don’t want a situation where they have to set up panel to determine who actually assisted. As long as e touch player, opa ri. It can be annoying sha.

TheSuperNerd:
I was not online for that Iwobi own but honestly, I also don't understand why he was awarded that assist for such a slight touch. Funny how these things work. Small time now, player go sneeze on ball before e reach him teammate and he will be credited for the goal based on "impact of external forces like air from a teammate's lungs".... Frustrating!

Na lie lol

Earthquake1:
Iheanacho wanted to score that goal by himself

Kai didn’t we gladly welcome the assist credited to Iwobi the other day?
It’s alright. We still know who singlehandedly worked that goal.

TheSuperNerd:
Well the EPL official site already gave the assist to Maddison for the slightest of touches. F**k it. No wahala but we all know this goal had Nacho written all over it. He had been more than decent since he came on. Go Nacho!

Error on thier part. We all know that goal had Iheanacho written all over it. Nacho did the work, the ball fell to Maddison who couldn’t connect it, only for Ghezzal to hit it in.

Modified
Statistically na Madison assist. But in reality na Nacho o. Well just the way Iwobi was credited with an assist the other day

Unlimited22:
Nah, look closely at the pic and the writing.

It came off Madison, which is why I wasn’t in a hurry to call it a Nacho assist.

Unlimited22:
Goal.com are crazy. Giving Iheanacho's assist to Maddison.

Ndidi = Class

Thank you nacho!!!

Kai, C.Nwakali permanent move to Poland division 2 side? This one weak me o.

Ah ah.

Farzat:
In your many lies, one truth is clear YOU ARE NOT A FOREIGN BORN. Your mentality and approach to issues speaks more volume than your claim. I said that some FB consider us a second option which u can never dispute. Meanwhile this FB issue is not your ministry so stop taking it personal. My childrwn are FB also and their country of birth will always be their first option. What are u really feeling like? An advocate on nairaland?

He don enter Rohr radar be that. Someone is happy already.

ChrisKels:
Seyi Ojo joins Reims on loan. Would u rather he left for a championship club than a relegation fighting team in the ligue 1?
