A lot of you are not talking about Ebuehi. That young man is a silent bomb.

The coach has the prerogative on the positions, he intends to fill.

If he is looking for an extra DM, that is his decision

junnyjake:
To forgiveness, not being able to obtain work permit to play = failure.

Na wa.

Mujtahida:
Do you know that in law how you obtain your evidence does not matter? Once it passes the twin criteria of relevance and admissibility it would be accepted even if you stole it, bribed to get it or duped someone to get it.

I am not justifying wuru wuru sha but just to let you know that this your university analogy is not apt for this case. Cos I don't think it's wrong for scouts and agents to say 'hey Coach, I got this sweet player, would you mind trying him out?' Even parents with talented kids do that. The issue should not be how you got called because Kog45 has shown that players get called through different means. If you were in a position to influence things today now, you'd make sure Tega, Aluko, Tammy, Onomah are invited and if they cut it fine.

The only problem will be where the player(s) is tested and falls short and yet still continues to feature in the team thereby robbing some other quality player of his opportunity and ultimately the team.

Manu Garba Magic – Uzoho, Nwakali Makes It Nine Players From 2013 U17 In Eagles



The all conquering Nigeria U17 team of 2013 is on the verge of becoming the most successful Nigerian youth team in history judging by the number of players who have progressed to the senior national team.



Four years from when they won the U17 World Youth Championship, nine of the players from the team have progressed to the senior national team of Nigeria, a number which could potentially swell in the coming future.



Lead by coach Manu Garba, the team won the U-17 World Youth Championship in the UAE, but FIFA has continually reminded nations that the essence of the tournament is primarily to develop players, and not about lifting the trophy.



So far the 2013 U17 team are fufilling the primary aim of the tournament, as the recent invitation of Deportivo La Coruna 18 year old goalkeeper Francis Odinaka Uzoho and on loan Manchester City midfielder Chidiebere Nwakali brings to nine, the number of players who have progressed to the Super Eagles.



Known for his hardwork, honesty and quiteness, Manu can also boast of more players from his 2013 team in the Super Eagles, with the likes of Taiwo Awoniyi on loan from Liverpool to Mouscron of Belgium, and Musa Yahaya at FC Porto knocking on the doors of the first team of their respective teams.


Full List of 2013 U17 Team Called Up To Super Eagles
1. Dele Alampasu
2. Francis Odinaka Uzoho
3. Ifeanyi Matthew
4. Wilfred Ndidi
5. Musa Muhammad
6. Kelechi Iheanacho
7.. Alhassan Ibrahim (Muazam)
8. Isacc Success
9. Chidiebere Nwakali

There is a lot of political maneuvering going on behind the scenes. I am sure you must realise that Rohr will still be influenced by the NFF for good or for bad he is not a one man band.

We continue inviting players through the pages of newspapers and the media. It's not about what Rohr regards as a quality league. But what actually is Quality it's not as subjective as some may think these assessments are there for all to see.

It's self evident. How can you be calling someone playing in Norway ranked near 30 in Europe in a team third from bottom who is even being benched as quality.

But back to the Championship you watched how the teenager Tega Abrahams tore up the championship and now the best young striker in the Premiership. That tells you something.

The best young left back in England plays in the championship bids of £30 million by a series of EPL clubs were rejected by Fulham.

Aluko was playing in the premiership but was not invited to the SE.

One of things you find with European national team selection is that the measurements of quality are there for all to see. The Co- relationship between top club performance and national selection is has little or no divergence.

The Spanish team dominated by Real and Barca players same goes for Germany. And across Europe you will find players from the top leagues and top clubs. If you look at Brazil, Argentina and even Chile thier players will come from the top clubs and leagues.

Something is clearly not right.

Believe you me do not be deceived the switch can be made a lot quicker if things are done professionally. So don't always believe all this nonsensical posturing by NFF that they have been trying.

The pertinent question is getting the best players into the SE without prejudice.

Nwakali's Call-Up Well Deserved, Man City Have Plans For Him, Says Agent

Published: October 31, 2017

C. Nwakali's Call-Up Well Deserved, Man City Have Plans For Him, Says Agent
Allwell Nwakali, the elder brother and representative of Manchester City loanee Chidiebere Nwakali, has commented on the invitation of the central midfielder to the national team for the upcoming games against Algeria and Argentina.

''Chidiebere's invitation is well deserved because during his time with the U17s he was one of the best players. If you check after Isaac Success that got a club, he was next,'' Allwell Nwakali told allnigeriasoccer.com.

''Man City bought Kelechi Iheanacho and Chidiebere the same time before Chidera Ezeh joined Porto.

''Apart from the work permit issue that made him not to play for Girona, he has been playing despite the fact Norwegian League is not as glamorous as other leagues like La Liga and the English Premier League.''

Manchester City, Chidiebere Nwakali's main employer, are happy with his progress in Scandinavia, and have him in their plans provided that he is issued a work permit by the English authorities.

''Everybody knows he has been playing well. If he has not been playing well City won't be happy with him.

''[b]City are still happy with him and say they have plans for him despite we are facing a little problem with his work permit.

''With his inclusion in the Super Eagles team, it will be easier for him to get the work permit. As soon as he gets his work permit he'll go back to England and will [/b]do better in the Premier League.

''He is very young and full of energy. It is a well deserved one and I thank the coaching crew, the NFF and people that remember Chidiebere is still in existence.

'' They told me when his time come they will invite him and they fulfilled their promise. I hold them in high esteem,'' added Allwell Nwakali.

This season, Nwakali has played 26 games for Sogndal in all competitions, scoring four goals, and captained the team in the Norwegian Premier League match against Lillestrom on October 15.

When I talk say some people dey use National team take resurrect their almost dead career, dem say I be mumu. Players like Ndidi, Shehu, Iwobi(I no mind) and now Nwakali are examples of such players.

While those that struggled hard not to get themselves a better club get overlooked because dem no sabi way or ma my brother no dey there.

What dey keep tell dem na work harder, continue to perform and you will be noticed until dem grow white bear bear begin call dem grandfafa

Chelsea youngster Tammy Abraham has reportedly decided to commit his international future to England rather than Nigeria.

The 20-year-old striker is currently on a season-long loan at Swansea City, where he has impressed with four goals and an assist in 10 Premier League appearances to date.

On an international level, Abraham has been playing with England's under-21s side for the last year and has already racked up 13 caps, but is also eligible to play for Nigeria through his father.

According to The Times, Nigeria have been courting Abraham in recent months and met with him in September in an attempt to persuade him to switch allegiance before he earns his first senior cap.

The newspaper claims that Abraham has decided to turn down their advances however, informing "senior FA officials" in recent weeks that he remains committed to the Three Lions.

England manager Gareth Southgate was in attendance at the Emirates last weekend for the Swans' 2-1 defeat to Arsenal and is believed to be considering giving Abraham a place in his squad for next year's World Cup in Russia.

Mujtahida:
Not just 90% but 95% sef. Apart from Musa and the Nwakali, the list is OK.

forgiveness:
Why did you bring up the illogical comparison in the first place?

safarigirl:
your opinion of Iwobi's abilities is highly subjective.

He is not as effective on the wings...and forget natural player, that is just a term that implies lack of versatility. Do you think Muazzam would play AM better than Mikel or Iwobi?

safarigirl:
i was referring to Omanbala

safarigirl:
I did not see that post, so, thanks for addressing it

I also hope you reported the post, it is not enough to correct him, he should duly be punished

Mujtahida:
Well, when I saw this I wanted to address it sharply but I felt I should read through the comments down to the last before this and no one directly addressed smouldering piece filled with violence. I will take it upon myself to do so because I enjoy this thread so much. It's like a house. It should be kept clean.

First, safarigirl take note that when forgiveness made damning accusations against Rohr several monikers including me called him out on it. He was not spared. This too will not be spared.
Now @all, I trust you guys read this blood curdling, murderous and toxic words from omanbala1. This is totally unacceptable and must be strongly condemned particularly more so that you were called to order by junnyjake and tglobal when you called him mentally sick and still you went ahead to pour such hateful, vicious words on him. If he's tribalistic, then you are also one whose heart is filled with hate and bitterness. We should not condone it against anyone.

Apart from Rohr whom forgiveness unjustifiably attacked, he's been carrying on his wailings on the absence of Kayode with the air of one who has lost something precious(at least that's how he sees the situation) he's not insulted anybody here. Allow him his views. Outlandish, far-fetched, unreasonable - but there are his views. Counter them, even ridicule them but let's respect each other.
And no I will not join hands to further your totalitarian call that we join hands with you to beat him down because there's room in my world, indeed in this world for men like him. Even God/nature cherishes variety and I don't want to live in that dumb world where everyone is a Yes man. The man below looks like forgiveness. I respect such men.

I see it as a disencouragement to players who are striving for excellence and the recognition of true exceptional talent devoid of sentiments and or favouritism.

The enthronement of mediocrity over exceptional quality.

Very dissapointing but not suprising this sort of unjustifiable approach is mirrored in so many areas of our national approaches in appointment and selection.

Oasis007:
Then he should have been included in the List, coz he's also playing Week in Week out for his Club as a AM despite that he's signed directly from the Nigeria League.

Icon4s:
Iwobi played AM against Senegal.

We are not lacking in that department as apart from Mikel and Iwobi, Etebo and Iheanacho can play that position although to a lesser competency level than Mikel and Iwobi.

Oasis007:
Of course we do, but if Muazam could make the B-List I guess he's rated by Rohr ahead of some others.

Oasis007:
Of course we do, but if Muazam could make the B-List I guess he's rated by Rohr ahead of some others.

Oasis007:
We've eventually come to the same Conclusion Bro. I said it earlier he's gonna definitely be a Hit as a B2B Midfielder because of his Strength, Pace and Tenacity.

Also I claimed he's best played as a Wing-Forward cos he excelled well playing the Position at Rio Olympic. Thus it's apparent Etebo can't be classed as a AM which limit the Numbers of AMs on the List to two - Mikel and Iwobi respectively.

Hope you get the Reason I asked for the Inclusion of Muazam on the List bro?!

safarigirl:
no, you and Joebie are two f the least sentimental people on here. There are only about six of you at most

Oasis007:
If you check my Post on Forgiveness Grievances against Rohr and the List, you would see where I pointed out this ain't a World Cup List, that anything can happen between now and before the List is made.

Player like Etebo is needed in the Team. He can be a super-Sub like Martial is doing at United. I will also include him on my List as a Joker on the Bench if I'm the Coach.

However, you and I have to agree that he's actually not a AM, and if you want his Best on the Pitch, play him as a Wing-Forward. He gets the Strength, Pace and Tenacity to torment any FB on his Way. His Exploits at the Olympic wasn't in the Hole but on the Wing if my Memory serves me right.

Hence we only have only Iwobi and Mikel who can play as AM in the Team. Ogu keeps making the List, yet he has not been tested in any competitive Match by Rohr. Thus he should have been the one on the supplementary List instead of Muazam; which would have balanced the Numbers of AMs and DMs on the List.

forgiveness:
Do you mean Chidiebere Nwakali who failed in LA liga 2 is ahead of Ramon Azeez?

Oasis007:
When you see a sensible Person, it won't take minutes to identify him or her..... really appreciate your Input bro.

I'm ain't opposing the Invitation of Nwakali, rather objecting against too many inclusion of DMs in the List. If Rohr ain't satisfied with Agu or/and Ogu, he should have replaced him/them with Nwakali.

Nwakali is talented, but we've not seen him play for a longer time. Also hardly anyone is keeping Tabs on his Progress on this Thread except few Clips Tbaba1234 does post here once in a while.

However, if the Scout(s) believes he's ready for the National Call up, and gonna be an Upgrade in the Midfield, then we should wait till he plays before we could judge the Credibility of his Invitation. But Muazam Invitation wouldn't have been a bad Call either coz he's a natural AM with eyes for Goals.

Finally, I'm ain't clamoring for a must Invitation of Muazam, but only saying we need more AMs in the Team too. Iwobi can play AM comfortably same as Mikel, but Etebo ain't creative enough to play in the Hole. I will rather play him as a Box2Box Midfielder, play to his Strength, consider his Pace and Tenacity.
