Let's be realistic, I know crying has become a hobby for you guys, but the English FA has delayed the switch process for talents they're still interested in capping, this has been done a couple of times now and should not be surprising to anyone.

Odunayaw:
Value! dumdum. His debut goal was so glorious they never called him again!

I knew even if the point was a signboard you'd still miss it.

Danielnino00:
So you are saying the clearance process work the same way for every player?
Nigeria has always has a history of clearing English players late.. Go check how long it took for us to clear Moses, Aina and Iwobi... It took lesser time to clear Akpogunma.

Again, you don't have any proof.. Just speculation.. And you failed to answer why the NFF would be withholding him.
What if Lookman himself later come out to validate the NFF claim? won't it make you look foolish?

Odunayaw:
I'd take it that you're catching cruise because this type of reasoning can only from the intestine.

We have Lookman, a lad who shone for England in u20 and is resurgent in his "adopted" country's EPL and you compare his value to an old man Caulker?! A 30yr old Turkish league player?

You sound like say dem de download Orubebe into you but e stop for 20%

Danielnino00:
No be by mouth... Show us proof that he's been cleared by FIFA..
You seem to forget that some of us thought the switch was already on since 1-2 years ago until a few months ago when he officially made the declaration.

What would the NFF gain by lying about it if I may ask? Is Lookman the second Messi or Neymar? We already discussed it, and statistically, he has never been better than the current wingers we parade, by Musa..

TheGoodJoe:

Was Mba one of the Super Eagles best player before AFCON?
Was Aghahowa one of the best players in the Super Eagles before 2000 AFCON?

TheGoodJoe:

When Busquets joined the team, was he the best? You cannot tell until the player is given an opportunity.

Did you know Oboabona was going to perform that well when Keshi called him? What about Omeruo or Mba?

Allow the coach work. I wish you guys showed this passion when Rohr was wasting our time.

jihday:
Birmingham was in the EPL, he was the best keeper in the EPL was also nominated for the best young player award

TheGoodJoe:
Busquets, who was just 20 years old at the time, kept experienced players like Yaya Toure and Seydou Keita out of the team and both of them moved to other clubs in search of first-team action.

TheGoodJoe:
Which stat did Joe Hart have? Birmingham stat? We are talking of the best shot stopper in the Premier league over a Birmingham player.

By the way, which stats did Busquets have to get picked ahead of Seydou Keita and Yaya Toure?

andrewbaba44:
That is club football and not national team

This narrative is very poor and e no enter at all

Stop using club football to justify nonsense

Shey given was even old and won’t keep forever so will surely need a replacement at some point

Isahalbash:
But they clarified the process started 1-2months ago. Someone even posted it here then.

ChrisKels:
You mean 30year old Stephen Caulker from the almighty Gaziantep, Turkey?

So you think if we decided to go for Sammy Ameobi(same league as Caulker, quality wise) that we can not get him within a week just as we did his brother? Guy be logical by appreciating the word "value" or "usefulness"

ChrisKels:
Can the cry babies rest now that my statement yesterday has been made official by the NFF or are you all gonna keep ranting all over the thread?

Joezinho:
Musa's continous invitation to the NT is nothing short of a travesty, and as much as I appreciate his services to Nigeria, it has to be said that Musa and Ighalo are both very selfish individuals who are benefiting hugely from some political goodwill from top officials they are close to... Because I know deep down, they know they are undeservedly occupying the spots other young, hungry and promising players would have sold a limb to get but just don't get the chance...

I wonder how a player like Dessers would feel knowing that he chose Nigeria over Netherlands, burst his as5 to score goals for Feyenoord, only to have his spot in the NT occupied by done-and-dusted players who offer absolutely nothing to the NT anymore!!

A good chunk of these players were selected based on Nigerian politricks.. There is no justification for leaving out Akpoguma. He deserves to be on the squad. Same goes for the likes of Bassey, Ebuehi, Dessers etc. Is it too much to ask that a Nigerian player be called up based on merit?

God must punish amaju and this stupid Eguaveon.

Isahalbash:
Where is Oba of England; Mr emotive bias and prejudice?

chrisooblog:
Just checking out the 40-man list given to CAF on Solace Chukwu's twitter handle. Ndah and Nwakili weren't in the list. Lookman's name was included.

An Iwuji was included at number 40.
