Martins was never an influential player in SE, so why the fake fears? if we are having this convo as regards Enyeama, then that will makes sense. However Rohr has given Enyeama conditions.. Don't try to find every reason now because it's Martins. You have already admitted you are sentimental about this, then why the further talk. Neither you nor I can control who gets invited. Let's move on from the topic.

Mujtahida:
You never can tell if it would destabilise or not. Westerhof was the leader when players were having scuffles in camp as Kog45 has often related. It's not military but the military metaphor is apt.

dem dey see for there na.. u know how many naija villages dey there? lol

soetanoreoluwa:
Jollof rice for Germany?

Make he follow am come Nigeria now... Nigeria jollof rice is real

And just because an older and more experienced player comes in you think that will destabilize leadership? This is not military oh. Rohr has the authority, and every player will have to respect his captain.

Mujtahida:
Of all the words I mentioned only force and control have negative connotations. However all of them are utilised in leadership. It depends on how wisely a leader deploys them in turns for the greater good. Good leaders know how and when to apply force, when and how to direct, inspire, cajole, encourage, criticize, praise, advise. Any leader who absolutely avoids force just because he doesn't want to be seen in a bad light will eventually lose respect.

Be on the watch for my weekly review on the championship and the Super Lig.

Meanwhile Emem Eduok just had an assist for Kasimpasa, in their 3-1 victory over visiting Goztepe. He started and was subbed off at the dot of regulation time.
Kenneth Omeruo also clocked 90 minutes.

damn.. see that curler!

tbaba1234:
See Deji Beyreuther, the free kick specialist...

Sir I thought about it seriously..

soetanoreoluwa:
Oga Joebie You remember few pages back we talk about agent bribing coaches next this news surface from Owngoal... What a coincidence!

They should keep spying o...

what we've simply been missing.

Another freekick goal by Deji

They are spying this thread... That's for sure...

GERMANY: Bundesliga - Round 10

---

Mainz 0-1 Eintracht Frankfurt (52 mins played)

Leon Balogun back in Mainz's squad but he is in the dugout, just as Deji Beyreuther is in the dugout of Eintracht.
I hope they exchange some kind words after the game. And just maybe Balogun will invite Deji over for a meal of jollof rice.

I think he was just promoted from their junior team. He is a left-back so yes I will support his invite if he puts up some good performances in the Bundesliga. Some players can pull it off even at age 18.

tbaba1234:
I won't be surprised if he gets a national team invite. I don't think the switch will be difficult. However, i will like to see him play a few games in the Bundesliga first.

oga, the captain is like the vice player-manager. Many captains will fail if they apply all the attributes you just mentioned. They have to deal with each individual differently to some extent.

Mujtahida:
Nooo Joebie it's not a bad analogy. Leadership includes influence, direction, control, even force. The military analogy is quite apt. Football is war. Many times Mikel has been described as commander, a team described as troops. Even the word Squad is military in origin- Squadron leader.

WAIT. This dude is in the Bundesliga. Was not even paying attention. Interesting

Might just be the lad Rohr was talking about.

BELGIUM: Jupiler League - Round 13

---

Charleroi 1-0 Gent (HALF-TIME)

Moses Simon is on for Gent. Anderson Esiti and Samuel Kalu missing.

It's the coach's job to manage the players. Every player look up to the captain during game time. It doesn't have to be so after game time. It's natural that some players will be inspired by the captain even off the pitch -- but it's hardly always the case that all players will.

korlahwarleh:
Yeah I get that, but at least they give inspiration in some ways, don't they?

Captains don't control. Leadership is not about control. The military is a bad analogy.

korlahwarleh:
Yes I meant accepting that Onazi is the vice captain and by implication his leader in the team. Let me ask you, why is it that when a new IG of police is appointed, all serving officers that are his senior will automatically be "retired" by the government?. The reason is that glitches as it pertains to leadership in the system will be eradicated. No matter how humble you say Martins is, there's a limit to how much he can be controlled by Mikel and Onazi, albeit in a national team setting





So, if he was not invited from the time you started talking about him till now, and the present crop of players got the job done, what makes you think that they can't do the job ahead without him?

oga Mickael2 and forgiveness, if we do well in the friendlies the better oh. If our youngsters come good, the better oh. I'd rather have the team keep waxing stronger in unity than for us to start getting worried as to who can add what. Because if Martins come and don't deliver, that na double headache o. Let's hope for the best.

forgiveness:
I just tire ooooooo. Make I how they will react against Argentina.

emm sorry korlahwarleh Welcome on board! Your concerns have already been flogged here.. so no points arguing in circles.

wetin u dey drink that time?

Mujtahida:
Walexy welcome on board and thanks for this gem filled intervention on this debate.
Meanwhile what's your brand?

Heyyyy Joebie bros, abeg knack am one cold green bottle.

Martins sent me $1000 today, because he strongly believes that if we make noise here for his recall, Rohr will call him up

Modified
Who go like hammer like me? I don't want to chop alone o. That money up there is per week, so let's keep the pages coming.

korlahwarleh:
Good evening. I'm quite new here and I've been following for some time.
Please I want to ask, is experience not needed for qualifiers?
Because with the vast "experience" people someone like Martins had/has, I did not see people clamouring for his recall during the qualifiers, or did he just gather these "experience" after we qualified?
Also, I remember that when we won AFCON, we did not make use of Martins' experience. So why make it look as if the team is weak and vulnerable because they're not employing Martins' "experience"?
Another question is this: Are all the coaches in premiership, la liga, French League, Bundesliga e. t. c blind? Why haven't they noticed Martins' "experience" or they do not want "experienced players in their squad?
Please tell me, will Martins listen to Mikel both on and off the pitch? Will Martins see Mikel and Onazi as his senior in the team?
Lastly, all these talks of "we don't have a team yet", "are these the guys we're taking to Russia?" e. t. c
Please this is national team football not club football where you shop for the best. The current team is at least close to the best or even the best the country can produce. it's not as if we have four players in Real Madrid, 3 in Barcelona's first eleven, and 2 in Man U and Bayern respectively that we're not inviting. I don't think we can do more than this. Maybe we should wait till when we can begin to buy and sell players also in national team football. I bet it with you that even when that time comes, the Ronaldos, Messis and the good players of this world will. e playing for countries like Qatar, UAE, and China. (You should know why). So, the best we can do is to support the current team. Please let's allow Martin's to enjoy his pension in peace. I just want to belief that neither Martins nor his Family members/Agent is behind any of these pro-Martins monikers

Thanks

I be prophet? That's why stats is good. It reduces the time of experimentation. Else we should try the homebased players too. I promise you if we camped 500 homebased players, we will find one jewel. But why waste the time and energy just to find one jewel, when you could have done that in a considerable shorter time with 50 players in Europe (for example) with better stats.

Mickael2:
Simple, so how do we know the ones that will hit the ground running? Sha don't start another argument abeg, until we finish the next international break

Okay you are sentimental fine. Let's see if Rohr is. Abi na you dey do the invites?

Mujtahida:
Joebie if you understand my position seriously you will rest from bringing in Martin's performance. I am being sentimental here(pardon me and indulge me). My position is that his era is gone, his time is up, his season has ended in the Super Eagles. Every dog has his day.

ALGERIA-NIGERIA DEAD RUBBER FALL OUT

Madger Bank on Nigeria Win as Confidence Booster for CAN 2019 Qualification (Retitled by Joebie)

“If we start with a win over Nigeria, it will help the confidence qualifying for CAN 2019. I am very proud to have been chosen and to feel this confidence around me,” Madjer told Lagazette du Fennec.

The Algeria soccer legend who is in his third stint as coach of the team also hit back at critics of his appointment, insisting that he will answer them with results on the pitch.

“Yes, I am attacked by journalists, by people on social networks. But I can assure you that I feel a lot of confidence from a majority of the public. I see it when I go out on the street.

“But we know that I will be judged on the results. And so this match against Nigeria is very important.”

Well the truth is just as there is no guarantee Martins will perform if called up, there is also no guarantee the likes of Dessers will hit the ground running immediately if called up. But from the bottom of my heart, I really wish the young guys well.

Mickael2:
We just need to agree that if I am right at the end of the day, all those that called me a SE's enemy will eat their words. Sha until then me I no go talk again.

Cc Tbaba, Joebie

Depends on how you define active. Active to some means clocking some minutes. IMO If you play in a lower league, you should be banging over 25 goals. I remember Jonathan Akpoborie was the top scorer with 32 goals - if I still remember - in Bundesliga 2. The following year, he only managed about 14 goals with Hansa Rostock in the Bundesliga proper. So yes, you should get more goals in the lower league. Take a look at Dessers now. He's had a few already, but in the Dutch 2nd tier he was a machine gun.

Modified
Martins has had a decent run this season. Just 3 games without scoring, and now he's got an assist. Let's judge by the full season. His stats are as good as Ighalo's considering the time they've spent on the pitch this season.

Mujtahida:
All of them must be given a chance. No discrimination, no sentiments. Please add John Utaka. He is still very active at CS Sedan Ardennes in France. Utaka scored a very important goal for us against Cameroon at Afcon 2004. We must call him too. I will post his recent stats by God's grace.

I think Tammy achieved at 19 last season, what Ighalo achieved in the championship several years ago.
And he has started the Premier League brightly, just as Ighalo did as well. The lad is promising, I must admit. But his switch won't happen fast, we know how it went with Aina. So before then, lets have the likes of Onuachu. And let's see if they can bring anything to the table.

Well I'm basing my opinion from the little I've seen and also considering he played as LB more than any other position in the 2016/17 season.
He played as a left back for a considerable number of minutes just as he did against Zambia in the Premier league that season.
He clocked 90 minutes as a LB in the EFL trophy and also a couple Premier League 2 games.

Icon79:
That's good news. Have you seen him play there? I mean, besides his cameo appearance in the game against Zambia?


O pari

It's okay to read their news anyway. Just look for the facts, and feel free to share if you find any with substance.

Mujtahida:
I wanted to join in posting news but when I discovered that those guys spin and form news I just lost enthusiasm to do that.

lol

Icon79:
Big Joe, no be me o I am NOT an agent. And if I wanna do that kinda work, I won't go anywhere near Rohr .... I'd work the NFF angle.

I am pretty sure that coach Rohr isn't Pa Onigbinde aka Mr. $10,000 per junk player


O pari
