Iwobi was an arsenal u-23 player when we first called him up.

He certainly was a 'mainstay' of the youth team at Arsenal.

I think we can try young/development squad players in the national team in areas where our options are poor.

What do you mean by mainstay❓

Daninya33:

Jpes has failed to address the main issues of the team. I will opine we find someone better if his contract expires,it should not be renewed.

At least three players from the last U20 team of Ladan Bosso can add depth to the Super Eagles.One can even start at Centre back and Two in Midfield.

On what basis ❓ exuberant youth football dominance

Untill a player is playing consistent oustanding exceptional performance in the first team of his club.

That player should have nothing to do with the SE.

I didn’t want to say this but I hv to say it

Latest report as of 5 hours ago has it that man united hv approached osimhen and he’s new agent and he is willing to move to old trafford.

Reports hv it that he is Sheikh Jassim’s preferred number 9 and if he wins this race of buying united which currently seem 80% likely he will pay the 150m pounds to Napoli to being osimhen to Manchester

Osimhen and Atalanta striker Hojlund are highly likely to be signed by united this summer

VO seems to be making a habit of sacking his agents just before a major transfer contract is to be signed.

It's not a good reputation.

TheGoodJoe:

I honestly do expect that. Ndidi will need to really step up his play. I hope Maresca decides to improve Ndidi's ball playing style than opting for a replacement. If he does, I expect Ndidi to improve.

Can you teach an OLD dog new tricks hmmm🤔

Marjoribanks:
I hope this Komekn will keep shut now!

Keep shut ABOUT what please.

You have one isolated incident of age cheating and you want to anchor ⚓ wide scale comprehensive deduction on this one aberration.

It's like saying because one Nigerian police man refused to take BRIBE, therefore policemen don't take bribe anymore.

Joebie:
You have forgotten so quickly what happened to Onomah in EPL. A lion in a lower leagues is better than mouse in a higher league. Or how u take talk am last time?

If a player scores 40 goals in the NPFL a season, it's an indication that he needs to have a look in.

modified
But Nwakali has played against an Atletico Madrid side.. He didn't look out of place in that game.

What happened to Tega ❓l stopped talking about him maybe 3 years ago because he lost his place in Fulham and didn't perform.

However, he has done way better than Nwakali in every respect. He has never had a contract terminated and earns 20 times what he gets paid.

Lets not completely loose it, Nwakali played against Athletico Madrid in 2018 in a inconsequential friendly game. And you are using a game of over 5 years ago as a basis for quality. Please be reasonable, BEECO.

Joebie:
True definition of waste man

Waste man Onyedinma is going to be playing in the EPL and the statistics based world 🌎 class Midfielder Nwakali is playing semi professional football in Tercera division.

When a team does well you participate in the accolades, glory and benefits as a team member.

When a team does abysmally poor your receive your due rewards relegation, castigation and condemnation.

You fail to realise that making comparison of players statistics in different league and clubs is futile. There are too many disparities in quality, intensity, style of play etc to make conclusion.

No matter the statistics you would not call a player in the NPFL exceptional talent, because of the quality of the league.

It's apparently clear that many here do not know how poor quality the Segunda division is

I would put a bet of millions of naira that Bendel insurance will flog Ponferradina Enyimba is too much for them that will be overkill.

BascoVanVeli:
Tammy didn't do a single thing wrong. It was Pinnick that said it was a done deal before even talking to the boy.

The only player I look at with bombastic side eye is that Eze. The dude actually trained with the team then all of a sudden he doesn't know us.

Eze trained with the team, March 2017 and would have probably played in the friendly against Burkina Faso.

And the what did they the NFF do completely forgot him for two years, that doesn't make sense. And he started to blow and all of a sudden two years later they remembered him.

At the same time he was being ignored for two year's they invited the best Midfielder, Nwakali in the world for two inconsequential friendly against Liberia and Athletic Madrid.

What was the NFF waiting for 🤔 settlement ❓ There too many games he could have invited for in 2017 but he was ignored. But Shehu, and other mediocre players were invited .

Eze was on loan at Wycombe Wanderers and not really known yet. He didn't finish the season at Wycombe Wanderers but was recalled to QPR first team. The rest is history now an England international and wanted by top clubs in the EPL.

Know this and know peace: the fuel tank is about 250 litres which translates to a minimum of n48,000.00 to fill up! That faulty rear axle is the life forte of that vehicle.

This F150 FX4 has a lift kit on the vehicle looks like 6 inch, it's not that difficult to fix.

Joebie:
Nwakli sef will do well when he gets the move to the top tier

Dude wake up guy has been relegated to semi professional football after 3 seasons of MEDIOCRITY.

On what basis will he move to the top tier.

comodo:
.
Stop d shalaye abeg. He could have continued indeed. Who told you mikel could not have continued??

Continue is one thing but continue at a highest quality level is another thing.

Mikel last full competitive season for Chelsea was 2015/16 after that he stopped playing high quality too level football ⚽. he was 28.

He continued to China, Championship, Turkish league and he was noy oustanding literally finished for top level football ⚽ but WHY❓

Joebie:
Our top SSs are Iheanacho, Akpom and Success

Isaac is a wasteman and KC is no longer relevant he had 5 abysmally poor seasons and one good one at Leicester.

In the HERE and NOW Chuba is in a different level from KC and much better.

comodo:
Yes oh. I asked the same on Rooney and others too.

Maybe you don't know Rooney or you are trying to play down his world class achievementd.

Wayne Rooney is 37 started playing in the EPL at age 16 and didn't stop until 2018 ,when he was 32. Left the UK 🇬🇧 for a huge pay out in the MLS and played for two seasons. Came back and became player manager at Derby for two seasons.

After playing football atbthe highes level for 20 years I think he got tired . He could have continued but he doesn't need the money and the allure of management tempted him.

Who are the others, because is players with an outstanding career that went well above 30 and didn't stop until he was 35

Kog45:
Sometimes is not age but discipline,just check out Rabiu Ali for instance or Felix Owolabi who played the game in late 70s and did till early 90s.

I think the intensity and physical demands of the game then are very different from now.

Players would regularly drink and have poor diet and did not train as much as well.

lbrichman2:
Age my brother, age
Age catches up with our players and it severely impacts on their performances

I don't understand, the vast majority of our players once 30 knack almost completely gone.

Remember Elderson Echiéjilé he is currently only 35 but by 29 he was literally finished.

I must say Obagol and Ighalo plus V.Moses are trying.

But look at Awaziem and Omeruo stagnated no progression for several years.

tesppidd:
Another regime of selective prosecution.?

Can we even count the number of ex governors who have EFCC allegations but are having meetings with Tinubu day in day out at Aso Rock?

Thank you add ex governors like himself some with criminal convictions including Ibori.

Joebie:
You are absolutely right.. he did something right the season that just ended, and we will see him in top flight action soon.

He did something so right and good that's why his team has been relegated to the semi professional thirt tier of Spanish football ⚽Tercera División.

When your team is exceptional and wins trophies and gets other accolades all the players take credit and share in the accolades.

When a team has been so abysmal and poor the players share in the failings and received whatever comes with it RELEGATION and condemnation.

Joebie:
because WE eat akpoo and they do not.. simple.. next question.

Na joke you deh

mank1234:
Your gospel don sink in.
Iheanachio is toying same line.
Dem bear same firstname

We hype players like politicians who have done nothing or very little.

At age 37 Luca Modric is running this game this is at the highest level of competitive quality football.

He has remained consistently oustanding for 20 years.

But once our guys reach thirty they start dropping in quality like lead in water.

One of our best ever players Mikel Obi literally finished with top flight ✈️ football at 30.

My question ❓ WHY

Sportilitica:
I really feel sad about Nwakali. I really felt by now he would be playing in the top flight even if it is a mid table team. What is he really doing wrong?

He is not doing anything wrong he had been consistently poor for the past 7 years in Europe. That is why he remained in Segundo division for three seasons.

charlesemeka85:
🤣🤣🤣🤣

It's even a rumour not even a substantive contract offer.

Just rumour for the most oustanding Midfielder in the Segunda division according to some here.

Statistics are indicative not conclusive of quality all things taken into consideration.

mostob:
Saka won't play all the games bro. Moreso, Chuks will improve the more by working with Arteta.

Do you remember a certain Pepe that did so well in French league one with Lille, bought for £75 million. Came with big expectations.

However, it was a bit too much for him. As one small 17 year old boy with consistent end product and good work rate benched and effectively made him useless.

Just a note of caution.

End product is more important than unnecessary dribbling, skills and show boating.

He will need to be aware of a good number of academy boys much more familiar with the Arsenal way looking for opportunity. He should not just concentrate on Saka.

charlesemeka85:
Spanish 2nd tier side Racing Santander rumored to be interested in ex u17 captain kelechi Nwakali

What happened to Napoli and Real Madrid

lhordspy:
Such a lousy fellow.

-He threw shades at Akpabio and make jest of his inability to secure the senate seat and mocked his downfall in 2019. Akpabio is now a senate president. Dino is nobody.

- He once threatened to slap the present first lady, Remi Tinubu and teach her a lesson, at the floor of the Natl. assembly.

- He once mocked and insulted the present President, Bola Tinubu, on stage, during the PDP campaign stage.

- He also once insulted the present Vice, President, Kashim Shettima.

Dino is in the black book of every present high ranking political office holder. Yet, the joker want to be a governor. Wer*y joker.

What happens when the illegal mandate imposed by INEC is terminated by the court .

Really there should be review of hoe a person who contested for two political positions lost in one primary. But somehow became a senator with Lawan.

Kog45:
Bright Osayi is too good for any division two teams.He should go to Glasgow Rangers.

Rangers is not better than Leeds.

In general the Scottish premier League is rated to be on par with English league one.

Nonetheless, there is interest from Crystal palace, Brentford, West Ham , Bournemouth, etc

Marjoribanks:
Chuba Akpom won't make liecester team. Stop disrespecting Iheanacho.

🤣🤣🤣🤣😂😂😂😂😂😅😅😅

Lanretoye:
Jagaban the master strategist.

More like master criminal strategist.

Don't forget he is an ex convict.

Biodun556:

Look at two confirmed criminals one convicted and the other who bypassed all possibilities of criminal convictions by becoming a member of the APC.

As a nation we should hide out heads in shame, see what we are celebrating.

Look at renewed hope for corruption.

GeneralPula:
If we're interested in a good national football team in Nigeria, then we need to start using home-based player, just like Egypt, Morocco etc are doing..

I've observed one thing about Nigeria players for a while now! When you see them playing at club side, they play with massive energy! But when you see them playing for super eagles, they play as if they were begged to come play!

Their are many rugged players in Nigeria leagues that can function very well! Any foreign based player that wanna feature into super eagles should fight for it!

Your completely misguided.

Look at Morocco who represented Africa and put the continent back on the map with oustanding displays of exceptional quality football ⚽.

Go and check where 80% of thier players have come from.

I could add that irrespective of where their players were born and or anchored their careers from in Europe. They all still identify with their origins in Morocco. They have a nation that works , a nation with integrity, probity meritorious service and rewards.

Can we say the same of Nigeria ❓

Meliforme:
No, he deserves his place.

On what basis 5 goals in the EPL this season from 28 games and 4 goals last season from 26 games .


I would rather 100% have Chuba Akpom

Kog45:
Real Nigeria CF are

Victor Osimehn
Taiwo Awoniyi
Terem Moffi.

Agreed without question.

I still think we can have Ighalo on standby
