Elder.. I don't think a lot of super eagles faithfuls like Aina style of play...
The opportunity to command a starting shirt was handed to him on a platter of gold and so far I don't think he has grabbed it..

Maybe U can prove me wrong by mentioning one game he has played in the GWG that defies my assertion of him..
.

My man I always love analyst who talk football without emotions and for you to say Echijele will still make it ahead of Aina says it all.

Echijele made WC based on sentiment though Aina didn't help the situation.

If you are telling me Shehu is better than Aina I watched this season then something must be amiss.

elyte89:
No mind d guy jare,I no dey feel.him vibes at all for GWG,and peeps here are suggesting shehu gets drop

As worse as shehu is in GWG,he's far better dan aina in national colors

Chairman u no be Aina fan and you don't rate him period.

Na stamina we dey talk abi make baba let us feel his government.

Another 4years is loading with talks instead of action.

Walahi hunger dey hammer naijas o.

andrew444:
If Duvan Zapata will remain at atlanta he should not near there

Osimhen has no chance of benching Duvan Zapata

That's it.

soetanoreoluwa:
€15 Million bid for Osimhen by Atalanta FC of Italy. Atalanta is playing champion league next season

Good but his movement should not be about champion league but playing time.The guy
should not make mistake of Wolfsburg again cos been on the bench is not something ideal for a promising young player like him

Truidstar:
Sir, KOG45, Our Elder of irreproachable respectability, I greet you.

TRUID Da STAR how una side.Respect.

tbaba1234:
Absolutely and please he is not under 20..

He is under what?

tbaba1234:
Because he had a great CB pairing.. He was rarely under threat throughout the competition. This is the first time, we are seeing him under pressure.

tbaba u dey make me dey suspect you.Hope u no be agent o for all these FB (Maduka in question)

slade31:
As if he had any other choice!!! Mtcww

....meaning Osinbajo is a foolish man for saying the truth abi.I think some of you just lacked basic things about life so better for you to grown up and stop behaving like a kid.

edi287:
Any reason why he didn't make our France 98 squad? Wouldn't he have been a better option than Yekini as that time,

He deserved a spot then but Yekini pedigree took him to France 98 but Ohenhen or Akpoborie should have taken Amokachie place cos he was not fit for the tournament due to injury.

edi287:
LA Liga's Nigeria all time 11.

Who should've made the list?? Ohenhen and maybe Gbenga Okunowo for me.

La liga Nigeria all time 11 without Chris Ohenhen is not a list.

Lai Mohammed never sabi Ilorin people.Honestly am seeing Kwarans running back to Saraki cos Lai,Cook Olododo,Moshood Mustapha,Ashiru,Yinka Aluko cannot operate on the same platform due to political differences.

Hope to see APC government gets it right in Kwara or else it would not be funny.

Icon4s:
Bros abeg leave that guy. He doesn't deserve ur attention

Icon Icon Icon!How many times did I called you?three times abi.

Pls you are Elder here and time to leave some arguments for them cos they will never understand until they get there.

Really surprised to see some notable member of this great thread talking about age cheats as if it just started and as if it only happen in football.

I remember Kokmne always saying don’t go there cos nothing we can do about it due to our bad system.

It is a pity that this always happens and do we blame the boys for this?it was what their parents did and are still doing in civil service by reducing their age to stay long in the service.

When it comes to age cheat,Nigeria is a poo and it cut across all sectors.

Sellfish:
Whatever


Same Tuface who started a protest he couldn't finish?


Bloody two-faced coward

Stale

Icon4s:
That is why I said Okocha was just a more disciplined version of Etim and so he improved his game. The Okocha that played U20 no reach the Etim that played U20/21 naa. You know. Only If Etim had kept his head down....

You are right baba.Pls tell chriskel to send recharge card o cos i don named Fly eagles Saudi 89 players picture he posted.

Icon4s:
I also remember his display in the final of the 1987 AYC against Togo in Lagos. We won the game 3:0. Though I can't really recall the role he played in the 1990 WCQ. I didn't get to watch most of the games.

I think Okocha was just a more disciplined version of Etim. Etim was really good. Its a pity he chosed to end his career the way he did.

Oga icons you wan start another debate o Etim vs Okocha abi.

Well Okocha was able to manage the stardom but Etim failed woefully.

I rate Etim than Okocha sha.

forgiveness:
Awoniyi is a Liverpool player. EOD

Oga forgiveness pls let us end it.

One thing is cleared,Awoniyi is progressing and with his level of discipline he would be right there.Getting attention from clubs like Lazio and schalke is not a joke.

He is a player that would be vital to eagles soon,not too bad to have Osimenh,Awoniyi and Onuachu in future eagles just like the era of Yekini,Siasia and Amokachie.

Truly a lot don’t rate him but I rate him and I have my reason.

We cannot always be on the same page.

So lets move on.

Icon4s:
You see Etim Esin from any of our Chile '87 U21 WYC. I will try search for it.

The best of Etim Esin was 87 U21 qualifiers especially against Zambia in Lagos and also 1990 WC qualifiers.

Etim ruined himself with bad attitudes and got paid for it.

OMANBALA1:
Do I need to remind you that Nwakali was the MVP during his set. Thats like being the U17 footballer of the year....lol

Meanwhile, nothing dubious about special talents because they exist. Some players exibit extraordinary skills so early they caught attention of everybody,excluding you....lol

Also, let me remind you Nwakali is still an Arsenal player yet he cant even secure a ffucking visa,thus the fact Awoniyi is a Liverpool player mean absolutely nothing. He must prove himself.

Again , Michael can play behind Osimhen. Michael is a very skillful player with an eye for deadly passes. Awoniyi is a workaholic striker ,who is yet to convince us we can rely on him to deliver the goods.

Awoniyi is not the standard, hence more work for him till he catch up with Osimhen, Onyekuru and Chukwueze.

Pls bro I respect your view and I want to say Osimenh is highly rated than Awoniyi but Awoniyi is not a dummy player like you are trying to portray him.

My man not easy for these youngsters to be where they are and we need to keep on appreciating them for making Nigeria proud in their various clubs.

Good to see big clubs going for these guys.Hope to see Osimenh in AC Milan,Chuckwueze likely Barca and Awoniyi in Lazio or Schalke.

Pls what is special talent?cos if Awoniyi is not a special talent then on what criteria did he signed for Liverpool.

ChrisKels:
Where are the elders in the house? Oya make una name this squad. Naija U20 squad of 89.

Back row from left

Dimeji Lawal,Nduka Ugbade,Christopher Nwosu,Philip Osondu,Angus Ekeji and Bawa Abdullahi.

Front Row from left Mutiu Adepoju,Chris Ohenhen,Tunde Charity Ehindero,Chinedu Odiare and Mike Oyemachara.

Icon4s:


I will not say anything. Let me leave others to say something about this.

Haba Chief say something cos i don’t see any big deal in dropping Onuachu for Awoniyi or Awoniyi for Onuachu.

But telling me Onuachu deserve the spot than Awoniyi i will never agree.

It’s Rohr choice and i respect the list.

Humility017:
I don't think Awoniyi is better in terms of delivering than Paul...

My opinion Humility baba

Icon4s:
Egbon, please go back to that list of strikers and suggest one Rohr ought to have dropped so as to accommodate Awoniyi.

I dey wait.

Chief i will drop either Onuachu or Iheanacho.My opinion.

Icon4s:
@ ur second to the last paragraph, well it looks like the coaches don't see Awoniyi as such (no offense intended,) that is just what it is. Even Success who plays in a more competitive league didn't make the squad list.

I laughed when I saw a commentet like "Rohr is not in charge". Even if you Sir Kog45 draws a 25man list your list will also be criticized.

That was a very fair list from Rohr in my opinion. Good morning all.

Honestly very good list but sometimes we just need to review it and see may be one or two players deserve to be on the list and I think Awoniyi deserve a spot based on his performance this season.

Abi Saraki still dey 9th assembly.

Icon4s:
Taiwo Awoniyi never scored in any Olympics qualfiers.

That game u are referring to was an All African game qualfier. Awoniyi and Osimhen were dropped mostly because of their age and stage of development then. You can not in any imagination use that game of 2005 to call for Awoniyi's inclusion into the SE in 2019.

If we have our full compliment of players who are U23 today Awoniyi will not be in starting 11.

Oh Chief!full compliment of U23 and Awoniyi will not be a starter?

Pls give me the full compliment of U23 starting eleven cos sometimes “i no dey understand how we dey” rate our players.

Some are special talent abi and whether they perform or not they deserve call up and non special talent need to work their socks off to get invitations.

If Osimeh,Iheanacho,Success and Kelechi Nwakili are special talents then Awoniyi is what

Boss truth be told Awoniyi deserve a place in eagles 25 man squad.

mysticgal:
yes she is

WOW! Thanks for the info

Icon79:
That's good news for Naija. I was worried about him when he moved to China.

I didn't know how he's been playing because I only watch EPL and La Liga


O pari

Kai you this US based guy.It seems you are busy nowadays.

Mikel I watched this season deserve AFCON spot if championships players like Etebo and Semi would be part of SE to AFCON.

I still rate him than any of our midfielder.

darkelf:
Egbon...come on now, I know you are better than this

Turn someone who hasn't played 90 mins in a long time into Messi or what?

Someone that missed a sitter in the game against Man city. The best opportunity for a turnaround for KC is at his club.

Players improve because they play for club not country. How many times does a pro footie play for his country?

Rohr isn't a magician to turnaround an undisciplined Player in a matter of weeks

Rohr will regret it if he gives KC a spot and ignores other hardworking players

My opinion though Rohr gona decides.I think he was not included in the last SE list.

andrew444:
Sir i emailed you and you didnt answer o base on what we discussed the last time.

You know its been long

Sorry Andrew my man.Ok kunle111@icloud.com

Pls is this lady a daughter to Air commodore Emeka Omeruah cos she resembled the man facially.

Humility017:
sometimes Egbon you make me believe the impossible... well i believe you sha
but you know Nigerians level of integrity then different from now. someone like Gata
who has been playing in the NPFL for like 3-4 years now still claim 18 years..how is that possible?

Well playing in NPFL for 3-4 years and still at 18 years is not possible.
