Joebie:
Iwobi wasn't that strong-willed as we may want to believe. He was already on his way to the airport. He had already made up his mind after some efforts at convincing him. Aina never got a look in by England for awhile. He waited in vain for an England call up. It was a case of no hope for England for him.

and you think all the names they've been reeling out without a call up for a while too will have taken that bold step?

tbaba1234:
NFF dropped the ball on Tammy. They simply accelerated his english call-up. All the best to him.

i feel it accelerated it too

but i still feel he might not be as strong-willed as Iwobi who resisted the overtures or as daring as Aina who came to the Super Eagles camp in London for Rohr to have a look in

if he hadn't made that appearance i'm sure we would not have gone hook line and sinker for him

after filling the paper, it will still go through the FA and will still be made public by then

so the pressure would have still been as much as it is now only that it is delayed and might delay his call up to the Senior team of England.. before the switch would have been concluded they may still have capped him

BTW nobody from all the news i read around that period invited Aina to join the Eagles to train when they were in London so why should that of others be different.. when you need something badly why not go for it and not until they give you on a platter and even as it was given to Tammy on a platter, he still rubbed it on our faces

Mujtahida:
What do you say about Roma doing Chelsea the current EPL Champions the thing. I didn't want to say this after Roma put Chelsea on the back foot during the first leg and resoundingly beat Chelsea on Tuesday cos I recognise that such things happen in football. But now that you are using Tottenham's victory to sing a hymn of praise about the EPL, kindly let us know about what you think regarding Roma v Chelsea as far the EPL is concerned.

we can as well say if Girona was in the EPL they would gladly be in the top 5 since they are able to beat Real Madrid that Tottenham beat

Hahaha I knew this would happen.

My friend you are muddying the waters, the subject is best player selection by merit.

The discussion is not circumstances personal or otherwise but structure, definitive standards of measurement for the best quality players. The removal of sentiment and the enthronement of merit without question. Let the best players come in no sentiment.

People left Nigeria direct and went to French league, Belgium league, Portuguese league, Italian league. So if you find yourself in the backwaters of Europe it's nobody fault. Life is tough and unfair it's just how it is.

Under no circumstances do we circumvent standards for anybody irrespective of circumstances. One player bypassing the standards is one too many. It us unfair, unjustifiable and not right, no apologies.

If you find objective merit based selection as condescending then I have nothing to say. The EPL is the most competitive league in the World if not the best so what's wrong with the pursuit of excellence

Finally, I am probably more Nigerian conversant than you. Naija no far from me. Dont assume that I don't have am indepth understanding and empathy for the dynamics and struggles in Nigeria. I still can leave Ocean view drive to Okirigwe jnct and eat starch and owo with my hands.

I just will not compromise my integrity, if that makes me Un-Nigerain in your book. Once again no apology.

please i'll really like you to list the best players that should be selected and is eligible to play for the Algeria and Argentina match coming uo in the next 12 days that were not called up

MESSI OUT OF NIGERIA FRIENDLY
Argentina captain Lionel Messi will not play against the Super Eagles when both sides clash in an international friendly on November 14.

However, Messi will play the friendly against Russia on November 11 at the reopening of the Luzhnikí stadium in Moscow.

Argentina coaching crew, headed by Jorge Sampaoli, will allow the striker fly out of Moscow after the first friendly, to get enough time to rest before returning to club duties.

The rest of the Argentina squad will head to Krasnodar, where they will play against Nigeria on November 14.

This same scenario happened in the Albiceleste's last international friendlies against Brazil (June 9) and Singapore (June 13), when Messi went the distance against the Seleção but was omitted from the matchday squad against the Asians.

Meanwhile, Sampaoli has called up Emiliano Insúa to replace Lucas Biglia, who suffered from an inflammation in the patellar tendon of his left knee.

I hope this is not true sha

Joebie:
Onyekuru is good. But he needs to play in that hight level regularly. It will bring the best out of him.

but someone up there was inferring that quality players are not found in back water leagues in which to him Belgium falls in so he needs to go to a better league to meet better defenders and that was the reason i had to bring in Alves and PSG into the comment to show that even among top opposition he did it and its not once in which we might say maybe twas his lucky day but TWICE

Mickael2:
and after skinning the guy the end product was? Missing 3 good chances. I didn't know football is about tricks sha, where is Rabiu Ibrahim

i never knew quality is now judged by the number of goals scored alone


no wonder Messi and Ronaldo never misses any chance they have at goal

elyte89:
No worry naa,we go c d guy against Algeria,all dis pre package talks,we go c evrytin against Algeria and Argentina.... I hope he won't turn out to be anoda Mikel Agu

to axe people from the team no hard

i no know why Agu still de there sha

are we still talking about the quality of Onyekwuru here?

the guy that dealt with one of the world best 2 on the 2 occasions they met and some persons here are expecting him to show it outside the Belgium league..

I never knew PSG now plays in the Belgium league

komekn:
You are being presumptuous we haven't seen Aina play that position yet to determine who is better.

we don't have our left full back solid and that's my reason for hoping he comes good in that position

If that position was covered properly probably in the level Shehu is running the right I would have wished he takes over the right

So who do you suggest should play the left full back on the 10th and 14th if Aina plays the right

Mujtahida:
That guy was born to be an Eagle.

if he can just cement that left back and Shehu continues that blistering form at right back, Nigeria's full back issues will be sorted out for close to a decade

Mujtahida:
He has good speed and deft touch. It seems even at that RB he uses his left foot often

I noticed that too

There was an assist he gave with his left foot too from the right wings

And he isn't afraid to take on players too

ikoduduakpode:
thanks, I even have some Army men around my work I think I should invite them. thanks man.

not invite them


Take one you see is nice and go see them together after thoroughly explaining to him in details how things are

They'll attack her

Look up and look down, you'll know the category de belong

If you have the agreement both of you sign, hold it closely in case you change your mind and planned going.


Before embarking, get an army man no matter the rank, explain things to him and take him along with you to the station.

Thirdly, don't forget to do the second paragraph above or else the next thread you'd be opening is how you spent 22 month in police custody and mind you if you are lucky to get out

komekn:
The Norwegian league is ranked no 27 much below Azerbaijan and Cyprus. He plays for Sogndol Fc which is in the relegation zone, third to the bottom.

His contract is owned by Manchester city which means nothing in the context of quality. Has not even played for the academy. In reality when city ship you out to Norway and to a team third from bottom, you are simply not rated and just an investment gone sour.

To be a RB in the Norwegian league and to be considered quality you should be one of the 3 best RB's in the league. Mold and Rosenburg have shown some quality. But way off top European quality.

Finally, I am bewildered on what basis I am certain that we have far better prospects across far far better leagues in Europe. Who have shown quality and potential in league's with a far higher standard of quality and competitiveness. It seems brother Egunje has come through the back door.

please can you help us to name the people with far better prospects across far far better leagues in Europe who should have been called ahead of him??

Icon79:
And by the way, am I the only one who thinks that this Argentine friendly isn't such a great idea at this time? Right now, I think we should be playing only the friendlies that we're most likely to win, so we can accumulate as much FIFA ranking points as we could before the final world cup draws are made. If that's the case then matches against the likes of Argentina, Germany, Brazil, Belgium, Spain, France, etc. ought to come later in our preparations - after the final draws are made.

Someone please tell me that I am not crazy!



O pari

the draws would be made with the October ranking

so as it stands now, the friendly isn't going to affect the ranking to be used for the draws unless you're talking about Qatar 2022
