you mean luring players from Germany will be easier?

Mujtahida:
Luring players from Germany won't be as difficult as it now is with England because of the kind of depth the Germans have now.

At least Salami dey score na.. lol That's not a bad call.. lol

Netherlands-based Sophia Omidiji eyes Super Falcons’ call-up

A Netherlands-based soccer player, Sophia Omidiji, says her dream is to play for Nigeria’s senior female team, the Super Falcons.

Omidiji said on Thursday in Abuja that she was optimistic that her abilities would earn her a place in the national team.

20-year-old Omijidi was born in Las Vegas, United States and was adopted as an infant by a Nigerian father, who hails from Ogun.

The player was earlier invited to the camp of Nigeria’s U-20 side Falconets ahead of a 2016 World Cup qualifier against the Democratic Republic of Congo.

She plays for Dutch’s topflight side S. B. V Excelsior in Rotterdam.

The forward had earlier played for KAA Gent in the Belgium Division I, where she scored 18 goals with 12 assists in 20 games.

According to her, it is always a privilege and honour to represent one’s fatherland.

“It has always been my dream to be able to contribute my quota and bring joy to our people in the form of lifting the World Cup with the Super Falcons. Then I will be fulfilled.

“I also think my abilities will give me a good chance in the team and playing for Excelsior is an opportunity to learn from great coaches in Eredivisie league, the highest league in the Netherlands,” she said.

The player said she was currently studying as well as playing football.

“In January, I will be obtaining an Associate degree. This is to show others that you can be a professional and get a degree.

“I believe in myself, trust my abilities and know that by God’s Grace I will accomplish my goals.

“I have a strong team behind me; my family and my managers Temple Management Company (TMC), so I just focus on developing myself,” she added.

TMC is a full-service creative talent and event management company incorporated in Nigeria and operating in the Entertainment, Sports, Media and Art sectors.

Ehen. That's the kind of talk I like lol

komekn:
That's good news I really want to see our tried, tested and proven strikers who are still playing at a good level, given a chance.

Fred Friday? hahaha.. Did he ever score since joining AZ Alkmaar? Maybe one goal?

Mujtahida:
Instead of Martins and co I'd rather go pick one Fred Friday I watched yesterday.

Any credible source on that? As far as this thread is concerned, we've had our oldies debate before. I made calls for Emenike before Cameroon considering he had some good stats prior to then and his physicality. I also said as long as Osaze is topping the goalscorers log in Indonesia he MAY not be finished yet. Recently, I never talk kpen as regards Osaze and Emenike.

Those so called influential persons also have the right to voice their opinions, but I want to see credible sources and their quotes. But there is still no guarantee that they will have their way, if the stories are true.

Mujtahida:
The renewed call for their recall has something more of pressure being exerted from unknown quarters as in Naija factor. Kayode is there struggling to be given a chance, Aluko, Onyekuru too, so many good young players in their prime baying for a chance. These guys are our future. We go with them, we'd be doing our Qatar 22 a lot of good because the number of players who we would be able to tag as experienced will be many.

It's discrimination when u base your opinion on age alone even when the player is apparently better in terms of recent stats. Or when you say the player did this or that 8 years ago, he will do it again. The player you are gunning for you have not even seen in SE colors. Now I did not say Martins is better oh.

Mujtahida:
Joebie my bros it's not discrimination to leave them out. It's discretion.

Ighalo only got a recall because he was performing and we needed someone in his frame for Cameroon.. I promise you if the conditions were against him, he won't have smelled SE. Brown Ideye, Oboabona will not smell SE before Russia.. Mark my words. Performance gets attention not past glories.

Mujtahida:
Ighalo is within the frame of the current Super Eagles even Brown Ideye, even Omeruo, even Oboabona but Martins' time is past. Leave him there. Even if he scores ten goals for us something inside me will fail even while I am rejoicing. Scolari stood staunchly against calls for an in form Romario against a Ronaldo who had not played football for close to two years. Brazil were handsomely rewarded for that. Leave Martins, he's now a relic of the past, his records have entered the museum of our national football history.

Denmark 2nd division. He has to be the top scorer oh.

Let's base our call for players that are really performing.

junnyjake:
That Brazilian - Nigerian, I happen to stumble on some of his YouTube video.

This is my verdict.

He plays in a shitty league.

Against shitty defenders, that would afford you the amount of space and time to do whatever the hell you want.

He's also up against whack GKs too.

So until he moves to a better league, hopefully everton and he's able to do what lukaku did for them, then I'd spearhead the charge to invite him. Until then.....

Leave the management matter to the coach. Rohr set conditions for Enyeama's recall. my brother let me tell you this from my heart. I don't even believe that even if Martins is called up he will make the train to Russia. But my point remains, don't discriminate based on age, place of birth, home grown vs foreign grown, light skinned vs dark skinned etc.

There was never fear of power dynamics as regards Enyeama. I want to think Rohr had long started talks with Enyeama before Ikeme fell ill. All those fears na our own fears. Rohr is the manager. Let him do his job.

Mujtahida:
It's not a matter of doing better than the new guys. I am sure if you bring Jay he will still perform well. Yes! But their time is past. And it's not just for footballing reasons. You know where Martins was in SE before Mikel joined. Mikel is captain, everybody looks up to him. Don't upset that dynamic by bringing an old blood. The same fear of power dynamics have dogged Enyeama's recall but truly if not for Ikeme's leukaemia I don't think I'd so much as whisper Enyeama's name.

You now believe in Ighalo abi? It only takes one match to either break our heart or mend it.

Mujtahida:
I agree with merit but at the same time merit among the new crop. Seriously even if Martins(and before I am accused of hate, just know I like obagoal) is scoring 100 goals per season I'd really not want to see him in Russia. We clamoured for him and Keshi gave him an opportunity and his performance was ineffectual. There's nothing he is doing so special that Ighalo or Iheanacho cannot do. But that's even beside the point. He's done his time. Let him rest.

My brother, that's a puzzle oh.. U20? not 20 year old or a little older?
I will figure out who that player is if that's what he really said.

junnyjake:
Rorh, once hinted in an interview that there'd be one German U-20 player who'd be switching.

Could he be the one?? We were all Focused on Jordan.

If not for Ighalo's performance against Cameroon, we will be saying the same thing about him. Well, Ighalo has better stats than Martins in the Super League, although the former has clocked more time. IMO I think we have to see what the likes of Onuachu, Dessers, Kayode, and even Tammy can bring. If any of these come well, then there should not be much talk about the oldies. The guys we are clamoring for still have to prove themselves in SE colors.
So saying they will do better than the oldies is quite premature.

Mujtahida:
Guy forget about the recall of Martins and co. It's going to be counter productive. I'd rather an Onyekuru be drafted in, even a Tammy or Dessers or Onuachu than Martins. We've seen them before. At least I know Martins is not Rashidi even if he might be painting Chinese league red with goals. Ighalo is doing that almost every week. We don't need Martins or Osaze. Let's move forward abeg and stop trying to color the future with paint from the past. We have newer beautiful colors I am hungry to see.

Copa del Rey?

Maybe dem dey rest am for weekend. Else owngoal will have to post a u-turn story.

isan:
Uzoho dropped didn't even make the bench

Na u just dey fear. There is no guarantee they would even bench the young ones. And there is no guarantee that even if the young ones went to Russia they won't act like Martins and co did. Rohr should pick on merit.

And let's stop talking about Osaze. Among the oldies, who is still in form?

Mujtahida:
If those guys go to the World Cup it is finished for us. We will perform like 2002, 2010, 2014 for those were their World Cups and they stamped their below par performance on it even though they were young then. These guys are old, they won't lift us up. They will drag us down the senile path of their aging football. If not for Ikeme's leukaemia I don't think I'd even mention Enyeama. Martins and co will not do us any good. Not like we've not seen them before. What's in Martins and Osaze to hanker after that this new guys cannot give us? So we should take them so that those who should go to Russia now among the young ones and increase the number of experienced players for Qatar 2022 will be dropped and lose the opportunity. No way.

The bolded is the only thing I can pick from this story.

I will have to do further research to verify the Nigerian allegiance claim.

Rohr On Alert: Bundesliga
Teen Deji Of Eintracht
Frankfurt Shuns Germany
For Nigeria


Highly rated Eintracht Frankfurt 18 year old left
full back Beyreuther Deji-Ousman has revealed
his desire to play for Nigeria ahead of Germany,
the land of his birth.
Beyreuther has made the bench for Eintracht
Frankfurt in some games in the Bundesliga this
season, and the player who declared his
intention to play for Nigeria ahead of Germany
last year is still keen on a chance with the
Super Eagles.
He made his intention to play for one of the
junior teams of Nigerian known to David Doherty
two years ago when he was 17 year old and
progressing through the ranks at FSV Frankurt
before his move to Eintracht Frankfurt in
January.
This season he has moved he has moved from
strength to strength and he is presently one of
the most highly rated teen left back at the club,
with his form earning him a rise to the first
team from the U19 in just a week.

Speaking on his rise to the first team, the left
full back who says his style of play is similar to
David Alaba of Bayern Munich also revealed he
shares same Nigerian identity with the captain
of the national team of Austria.
” I like the playing style of David Alaba, and we
both have a Nigerian father”, he told
Spieledb.eintracht.de, a comparison which sits
as they both have same body size.
Known for his pace and dead ball abilities, the
defender who is yet to be capped by Germany
at youth level said he is working on his right
foot in his bid to become an all rounder.

my brother I appreciate yours too, to be sincere.. We are in it together.. no be so?

Humility017:
nice one....
you're one of the peeps here...who always speak the truth out of sheer patriotism for the country's football ..
I really appreciate your input...

You just dey read my mind.

safarigirl:
I like to think the exploits of Leon Balogun was greatly responsible for this Deji's decision.

He can be invited to camp with the big boys, maybe meet Leon, they can all speak Deutsch together

lol
Firstly it was Sennenger who declared. We dey see like that sometimes. Dessers also did. Otigba as well. But i've noticed from history that we are always slow with players who declare their allegiance to Nigeria, without any effort from us. Hopefully it won't be in the case of Rohr. I think I read that Rohr will be given 2 year extension regardless of how we perform in Russia. I have to check that story again. I'm sure Rohr will be keeping watch on some players, for life after Russia.

Humility017:
don't be surpised he will win the heart of rohr via camp....just joking though...

let's see how things go....but his dad should contact rohr...the lad being a German will make things easy for him...

I personally said we should not make further moves as regards Tammy as there was nothing more to do. Pinnick already set the ball rolling. Pinnick had met with his agent and dad. Now that's a top level meeting, not play play like Tammy was suggesting to the press, just cooling things down.

So it's not a matter of leaving Tammy alone. Is a matter of how quick the switch they are with the process.

whenever Tammy's switch takes effect he is free to come to the battle. And I'm sure Rohr will give him a chance. I think he and Onuachu are similar however, and if Onuachu comes good for us, Tammy may lose the battle. But first Onuachu needs to get his chance. Let me not jump the gun.

Humility017:
yeah...I think you're right...
reason why I will want us take Paul to the world cup...if he keeps scoring.

with him we won't miss Tammy much...
I will want the nff to leave Tammy alone...
he should be the one to contact pinnick himself..maybe via his father when he is ready....to play for us..
for now...we should let him be...

Actually I think there were quotes (that seemed credible) in that post he made. But let's keep the peace we beg.

ratcockoduduwa:
You are trying to cause problems in this thread by insulting me. Did I commit any wrong doing by questioning the source of your non credible post.

Sometimes we go need training materials na. Personally, i'd like these future recruits to just socialize with the big boys. That's part of engaging them early and making them feel more Nigerian.

Humility017:
so sorry I never noticed that Europe camping.....
that will be perfect....hopefully after the world cup.....
I do believe Leon balogun success with the super eagles...hopefully we go far in the next world cup....

will make many of these german-Nigerians to change their minds....
it will spark a revolution in Germany and also England

Two different things.. The Europe camping I was speaking in regards to SE.

Humility017:
bro...please most of this our cadet coaches I really don't trust many...they're after their pockets players they will market...
I think rohr should act independently of those guys....

only God know how aigbogun got that job...only God knows

We've not missed out on Abraham. We never did. Seems you have not been following the latest updates here on that situation.
However should Onuachu come really good for us, we MAY not need Abraham eventually even after he switches. I think they are similar players.
some people want to fight me now lol

Humility017:
Paul brings uniqueness into the team..with his height...and the way he manage his long legs...same reason I was clamouring for Abraham....it seems we missed out on the latter so let go wit Paul....

we need someone who can offer something different

U20 coach Aigbogun should take note. Also, he can always be invited whenever we are camping in Europe to familiarize with the boys for future sake.

Humility017:
I think we can made do wit aina for now..
meanwhile this young German should be invited to train wit the SE after the world cup...at least to keep him away from Germany....

he should be groomed likely replace elderson in the long run....
what do you think? since ojokolo and his son refuse to have sense

That's why it's a battle. I've clamored for Paul Onuachu. People may talk about the league he plays bla bla bla. But you know a good player when you see one. ATM for #9, Kayode and Paul should be on the front row to be given a call up IMO.

Humility017:
how about Paul...?
mind you...rohr see nacho as a striker..so whoever gonna come after ighalo and nacho gonna be the 3rd chioce striker...

lol na misquote. I think I was trying to quote Mujtahida

safarigirl:
abeg, wetin bring Enyeama enter the gist?

Aina can play LB comfortably. You only call it makeshift when we are actually trying to patch him there. That's not the case o

Icon79:
I agree with you. That's why we're all praying that Aina would be comfortable playing LB because Echiejile would get us badly exposed in Russia.

Problem is, Ola Aina is a natural RB and I don't like people being made to play in makeshift positions, especially in a big tournaments like the world cup.


O pari

my point is on what ground do you invite Dessers and co? Are we calling for their invites just based on age, or performance first?
Performance has to be the first criteria. And IF their performance stats is not as good as the oldies, then why the bias? You cannot give what you don't have. Let's leave Osaze out of this. It's not like he has been scoring in Indonesia

Humility017:
to be honest wit you...
this oldies are not even the best...they can't compete with this young and hungry blood...
I will rather we invite that far away Brazilian guy than invite Martins and co....
we have Paul,dessers and even kayode...
and here some persons are mentioning Martins as if him and osaze can do match kayode in abilities....and moreover playing at the world cup will even profit a player like kayode career than those oldies which also benefit the SE in the long run...

many writing those articles are thinking wayside

Now that's the most important question. Is he performing? What are his recent stat looking like? All these questions will need to be answered first before his recall will be considered. And if he deserves it, why not?

krattoss:
the dear of Martin's is actually the beginning of wisdom.. dude is inarguably the richest Nigeria player as of now...I can bet my balls that dude got connections like ... even offshores (abroad)..the guy never goes down moving from one team to another when the ovation becomes louder..

I rate him as the most powerfull Nigeria player presently (moneywise and otherwise)..
Wait a minute, dude is also a baller ..

I will be zero surprised if he makes the cut at the eleventh hour..
