Situation better than Nwakali?? Seriously? A guy who is finding it hellish getting into match day squads?? What makes his inactivity better? because he is at a far bigger club? Abegii.. That is gobbledygook. Nwakali is seeing consistent gametime in the ledman liga pro. Solanke is being silently frozen out at Liverpool... Simple fact... And when Nwakali was being torn down here you didn't speak up but you doing it now because Comodo is saying the truth about Solanke's out-of-matchday squad role? Oh please...

isan:
Ola Aina start for Torino today

comodo:
Solanke win motm 2015. Win this win that. As okeke go soja finish, wey him Booth dey. Abeg comot coins for road make I count money. Wetin we dey do with past impossible tense. Wetin him dey do now.?? Person wey dem use seat belt tie for bench.

Football is not mathematics

There is no guarantee that Seychelles will perform badly against us

Icon4s:
So you, Joebie and Tbaba1234 do not understand what that Earthquake guy was trying to imply?

soetanoreoluwa:
Tomori is a Yoruba name.

TheSuperNerd:
Never saw it. Same way several also post what others have posted here earlier. So no harm done.

TheSuperNerd:
Didn't mention it before but Onazi's Roger Milla-like dance celebration after his goal for Trabzonspor in their 4-0 triumph over Onyekuru's Gala was a delight to watch... Lol.. nice to see him in such jouyous mood and form again.


Super Eagles To Lodge At Savoy Hotel Resort Victoria For Seychelles Clash

Super Eagles will be lodged at the Savoy Hotel Resort and Spa in Victoria ahead of Saturday’s 2019 Africa Cup of Nations qualifier against Seychelles, reports Completesportsnigeria.com.

The Savoy Hotel Resort and Spa is a four star hotel situated at the Mahe Island and it’s a 25 minutes drive from the Seychelles International Airport.

According to a media statement from the Nigeria Football Federation made available to Completesportsnigeria.com, Turkey –based forward Henry Onyekuru will be the first player to arrive at the team’s hotel on Monday morning as Nigeria begin preparation for Saturday’s clash with the Pirates of Seychelles.

The Galatasaray SK forward is expected to land in Victoria on the island of Mahe at 11am on Monday.

He is expected to be joined by Enyimba goalkeeper Ikechukwu Ezenwa, who will arrive with the Nigeria-based members of the technical crew and backroom staff two and half hours later.

Other invited players on the 24-man roster will arrive at the team hotel on Tuesday, with one group to come in before breakfast and another group expected at lunchtime.

Rohr has included three goalkeepers, eight defenders, six midfielders and seven forwards in his list for the crucial match, with four other players on standby.

The Super Eagles are third in Group E behind Libya and South Africa after losing their first game to the Bafana Bafana.

The match-day 2 encounter on Saturday kicks off at 4.30pm Seychelles time (1.30pm Nigerian time), with both teams in need of the three points after losing their respective openers to the campaign 15 months ago.

Libya top Group E following a 5-1 whiplash of Seychelles who have installed a new coach in Gavin Jeanne. South Africa are second after beating the Super Eagles 2-0 in Uyo.

U re already downplaying his performance ahead of d match,even if he performs very well,because we re facing a very low rated team ,but am very sure u would b d first to roast him or d general team as a whole if he /they doesn't live up to d Billings


Match na match,don't downplay d effort

elyte89:
This is d most sensible post I av seen since d beginning of NWAKALIS DEBATE

tbaba1234:
Benin disqualified from the WAFU U17 qualifiers after 10 players failed the MRI tests.

charlesemeka85:
bros we have seen a lot of players mentioned in such list who are languishing in obscure leagues now. our own rabiu ibraham, chrisantus marcauley, ex spanish u17 start xisco just to mention a few. nwakali is 20 now and this is the right time he starts doing something in europe football wise to reach the hype wey una don hype am here.

if the porto loan move doesnt work as planned, he can join any decent developmental league such as the belgian,french,dutch or even the austrian league where the likes of salzburg,sturm graz,austria wein are known for given unproven talents a chance to showcase their talents.

gamaliel9:
Could it be that Nwakali is a late developer? Because his age mates are already making waves....its like Donnaruma has been in AC Milan for ages...or that he is not getting opportunity to play. There use to be a certain Abreu from Uruguay...panenka specialist...he use to globtrotte...but alaways find himself in national team...i think the biggest club he played was Derpotivo La Coruna in Europe and Boca Juniors in Latin America but he was always in the national team

tbaba1234:
The bolded is where the overhyping comes.. Yes, he scored a great goal against Athletico.. so what?? Usman Muhammad dribbled the whole defense... So what?? The bigger picture is where their careers are not goals in a friendly match.

Where we differ is that you think his career trajectory so far is fine.I disagree. I do not rate the portuguese second tier as much as you do and i have watched several games over the years. No way, is it better than the Scottish league.

Kelechi has quality but it takes more than that to reach the heights. We have seen many quality youth players disappear. This is the right time for the alarm bells. The boy needs to challenge himself and i hope, he starts raising his level from next season.

krattoss:
This one Iwobi isn't on the team list.. Hope it isn't what am thinking

TheSuperNerd:
Instead of focusing on harnessing the best out of the available options we are gradually laying hands upon based on what they all bring to the table specific to the progress and positive evolution of our young Super Eagles team, some folks are still crying foul over Kelechi Nwakali's call up most especially when it is clear to all WHY he was called up!!!
What is the matter with some humans sef? Can't they just focus on the main things for once? Can't you try view the Big/Bigger picture?
This was how Tbaba1234 and some others went on and on pre-Russia telling us how "unready" Uzoho was especially after dropping those clips of Uzoho in the Third tier. Oh yes, Tbaba did say he had good potentials but he always (as with others) hammered that Uzoho was not ready and may be our undoing in Russia.
It was only the likes of me, Realpoacher (where is he sef?) and a few others who stood our ground acknowledging we may have a challenge in goal but we believe and know Uzoho will be ready. We also pointed out that Rohr obviously sees something special in the lad to stick with him. Things no one here can see or spot in details from the comfort of hiding behind our computers, laptops, smartphones.

Listen folks, many of you here have been proven wrong before as regards Rohr taking similar steps with K.Nwakali as he did with Uzoho prior to the WC. So let Rohr be. If Rohr sees nothing in him for the good of the team, then he will be discarded....

... But if this boy goes on to establish himself as a Viable option in the Super Eagles team ehn... And prove a relevant addition to the side, I wonder what new tune you cry-babies will sing. Just pathetic.




I may be young but I have seen life from a lot of angles and I do understand that sometimes in life, protocols will and can be broken to accommodate a special case scenario. I am for the most deserving getting their chances and all (Kalu belongs to this category of most deserving too and he got his call...Onyekuru too have earned a recall becos he deserves it) but I also know that sometimes in life situations, protocols are broken for a special talent or special case scenario. In my high school days I also experienced this which at the end of the day was a master stroke decision.

Kelechi Nwakali is A SPECIAL TALENT and there is obviously a quality or rather qualities Rohr saw in the lad to lend him an invite. So it is up to K.Nwakali to seize the moment and opportunity to show that he can make us better. This is about the team's growth and not about Nwakali and I strongly believe that if Rohr is proven right, then it is our Super Eagles that will benefit and the fans rejoice.

Focus on the main things and THE BIGGER PICTURE and stop the pathetic cries abeg. It is becoming nauseating.

komekn:
I am quite familiar Porto business model considering my personal experience with Portuguese football, my view is ;

First of all , i am not under any illusions to believe that Rohr is the sole person deciding who gets selected for the SE. There are other players in this game and influences.

Nwakali is project not justified by talent but other interests. I expect Nwakali before December or early next year to get a few games with Porto first team. After that he will become associated with the Porto Brand and be sold or get a better loan move add to that the unjustified call up to the SE will give his value some momentum.

However, if he is woeful i mean falls so below the standard then its all over, the scam ends.

In football the paramount thing for every footballer is OPPORTUNITY who will get the opportunity is the issue. Opportunity must be deserved and given to those who deserve it the most.

A year is a long time in football and two years history and three years its archived if that performance is not continuous and consistent. Some on this forum clutch at straws and use media reports to underpin their unsubstantiated opinions. For instance on the backdrop of Kelechi exploits in the U17 World cup he was classed by one media outlet very misguided as number 48 in the World for players U19.

The more pertinent question is if more deserving players were given the same opportunity, i believe they would not be fringe players or potential players but outright essential team members by now. THAT IS THE ISSUE, Giving OPPORTUNITY to the most deserving.

ChrisKels:
DAT we are on the cusp of sorting out his paper works to hand him a call up.

DAT news is about to make my day because, dude is a gem and the invite is long overdue

TheSuperNerd:
True that also. Same issue it is with Philip Billing.... And also with Ademola Lookman and Sheyi Ojo.

ChrisKels:
emmyboy, please where did u get that ejaria news from? I need the link

ChrisKels:
also, we can't have them all

ChrisKels:
as we still dey dull, the Dutch just gave the boy a call up to their U21 to face England who also has the trio of onomah, ejaria and Tammy.

TheSuperNerd:
A real cracker from outside the box. Danjuma is FIRE up and down that left and when he cuts in. Another special prospect here... Alhaji Danjuma

safarigirl:
most people prefer stability.

If you want to explore countries, you can travel, not straight up pack all your properties and leave to a new place. And when you begin to have a family with kids, they need that stability.

Moving may be fun for some adults, but you'd be hard pressed to find a child who enjoys making new friends every new school year. Even more, some people would rather not leave, but situation forces them to.

Going from England to Turkey to Spain, that's a lot of new languages and cultures to learn. It must be tasking

TheSuperNerd:
Smon to UD Levante also in la liga.


Not to worry. Hours after the Summer transfer window shuts, I will post a comprehensive list of Naija Players transfers.

TheSuperNerd:
Yup and it is The LWB in today's game... ARNAUT "alhaji" DANJUMA GROENEVELD...

The Weekend of goals for Naija players have started again...

BascoVanVeli:
The guy wasn't serious about the record anyways so that is not even at the top of my concerns.
