Tomori join? ChrisKels: Anybody could have done that, that makes u a professional, u leave ur options open. Somebody like Nmecha is both England and Germany youth team player, the only thing that matters is the country that shows more interest (at the highest level), Ejaria already said his future lies with the Eagles, I cant remember him rescinding that decision. He was right to av gone to the U20 world cup wt England since he was overlooked by us, that was a good decision then for his career.
Here are the list of professional Anglo Nigerians ready to repp us now at any level if called up ;
Raba Maja, Ebere Eze, Onyedinma, Ejaria, Tomori, Ike Ugbo, Dele Bashiru, Bright osayi Samuel, bright enobakhare et al |

You are very correct. Even The Telegraph said Emery too a risk in changing to playing 2!in attack by introducing Lacazette. Shows the switch was tactical. Here is another Iwobi rating safarigirl: i have posted three other sites that supported that Iwobi was decent, but goldfish no go gree. If it does not support his opinion, it is wrong.
Thank God we all have access to internet, let nobody come and feed us one sided opinions and sell them as facts.
90 min football also does not rate Iwobi the worst player.
It is obvious that the sham site he posted here, employed someone on a codeine diet to rate players.

Then you should have recognized when I said granted the good ones among the homebased players can make the team. So what where we arguing about? You want big name players while I wanted players with good stats in Europe but have never been given the opportunity? Cool your temper bro. So what’s the scandal now? Lol BascoVanVeli: I will stick with scandalous because we are talking about a friendly with Liberia and here is my original comment, please show me where I said we should pack the team with NPFL players?
It is a shame that Liberia lost the president's son to USA. That said I am sure the NFF will get good money from Saudi but the Liberian sports minister confirmed their friendly last night on Soccer Africa. We could split the team in half. It would be a good way to get guys playing time. Liberia would just need some big name players so maybe a popular guy like Iwobi goes with a few Homebase lads.

What’s scandalous about the NPFL not being in session? The way una dey use English words eh. I even caved in after you posited that they were involved in friendlies. Can you quote yourself? You said the team should be made up of home based team and a few mainstay SE players BascoVanVeli: I didn't mention any amount of home based players. All I said was that they can be selected but u came up with a scandalous excuse to try to exclude them and that's why I responded. If the players you have in mind couldn't at least beat out Uche Agbo and Stephen Eze as stand by then what the point? At least inviting the homeboys will build their confidence and increase competition in the league. |

Flawed assessment. I mentioned something he did of note. He was not the weak link in attack. goldfish80: Exactly, based on the ratings, Iwobi was clearly rated the worst player for Arsenal. This is by no way an attack on Iwobi but truth must be told at all times, irrespective of who is involved, be it your favorite player or least favourite player. We owe that much to ourselves as least. |

How do u determine overall quality? That’s the crux of the matter. Onazi was a regular at Lazio, but has faired badly for a Super Lig mid-table team. tbaba1234: I made it clear. Overall quality not individual player quality.
Agbo was a relegation team player in la liga but is playing for one of the best teams in Belgium. |

Really, we can argue both ways. For example Someone leaves the Spanish league and starts from the bench in several games in the Championship, some can conclude from that, that the Championship is better than La Liga. There are several factors. Some players may not measure up immediately in a more physical challenging league and may need time to settle down. We are too quick to make conclusions. Belgian clubs have not fared badly in UEFA competitions. Really, it would be hard for us to rate these second division leagues.Uche Agbo has decent games in La Liga. Is he suddenly worse than Championship league players because he plays in Belgium? tbaba1234: Is the Belgian league better than the Championship in England or Bundesliga 2 in terms of overall quality??
Just because it is first division in a country does not make it quality.
Personally, i would want all Nigerian players to be in the top leagues but we do not have that right now. |

That was my very first post. Read my other posts. This is where we differ. You want the team to take on Liberia to be dominated by homebased players. I’m saying if any homebased players should be considered it should be the very good ones from those we have been seeing, after you made a case that some are still active despite the NPFL is on hold. There are lots of our players in Europe doing pretty well who haslve never been given the opportunity to be seen. What’s the point if most of your homebased players who we have seen can barely break into the main SE team? BascoVanVeli: Abeg oga I can read small o!! U clearly said the best had been given opportunities already. |

I had already said the good ones can be picked. Which one u dey yap? BascoVanVeli: So we should stop calling home base guys because 23 guys were selected for CHAN? So every other AMF in Nigeria should not be given an opportunity because 50 yr old Rabiu Ali showcased himself? Thank u very much. |

Firstly, I never said it was a fine assist. Arsenal’s other forwards did not have nice first half stats either. The change was purely tactical. The ratings are out. goldfish80: As a forward player, How many shots on goal did he have? How many chances did he create? Why was he subbed at half time if was offering so much on the wings? You're making a case for an assist to be credited to him because he chased a ball down and probably got the faintest of touches to Monreal? Let's be real mehn. |

At first I thought it didn’t touch him until after several replays. rabzy: The suspected deflection was not when he was inside the post, if so it would have been his goal. It was the attempted lunge by him for the ball before it got the Montreal. Though I don't think it touched him at all, imo the keeper pushed the ball into Montreal. |

Haha I don’t think you are watching the match. Didn’t u see him charging forward when the ball was crossed? It deflected off him slightly before falling to Montreal. Na only post u dey look. Modified Na ghost back track save Arsenal from a West Ham promising build up. Na ghost they put in several decent passes. Kwantinue. goldfish80: I don't understand. How could he have been part of the build up when he staggering to get back to his feet inside the net. Please let's not miss lead people who are not watching. Iwobi had nothing to do with the goal. He was in ghost mode in this game. |

Kai Iwobi had a decent half. You guys are making it look like he was the poor link. He was not at fault for that goal ChrisKels: Iwobi wasn't imposing in this match and he had nothing to do with the goal scored by Monreal, infact he gave away the ball that led to the goal against Arsenal. All these led to his premature sub. KPOM! |

I’m speaking of the build up, not when Iwobi was inside the net. goldfish80: Iwobi was inside the post scampering to his feet. Even if he got a touch, Moreal's shot was already whistling inside the net. |

They were never given the opportunity, that’s my point. The best of your home based players have had the chance to showcase themselves several times. Why am I even repeating myself? BascoVanVeli: If the players you want to take were not good enough for the main list then what is your point? |

Homebased players will always get an opportunity to showcase themselves. I’m talking of players who will hardly get a chance whether for the main SE or the CHAN team. Players need opportunity. We have a rough idea of the best players we have in the home front based on what we have seen from the WAFU nations cup, CHAN and the Atletico friendly. If these players are truly not good enough for he main SE, what’s the point? Granted we can pick a few of them that are really good. BascoVanVeli: There is no excuse that can validate not inviting the home guys for a friendly against Liberia. Yes the league is on hold but every single club has been actively playing friendlies and Enyimba has even gone on to win a big match in the continent. |

The problem is who would you invite instead? Do we have forwards scoring consistently? Or would you invite an equally average forward playing in a lower league? We are not spoilt for choices in attack. edi287: This was the point I was trying to make when I said Nacho wasn't in top form. But for some strange reason, it was seen as taking a jab at him. |
