semid4lyfe:
Una don forget say some regulars on this thread were pushing the same agenda a while back?

Hmm

zuchyblink:
They can do anything for engagements

Terrible!

Some Nigerian journos are terrible!
Imagine the agenda this one is pushing

SamueItem337:
Amas Obasogie the first player to arrive camp

What club does this guy play for?
I'm aware he has left the NPFL

elyte89:
So u can give rohr excuse


No worry in 3years time we would also ask u d same question

Where’s tanimu today😀?

So for the next three years let him enjoy his call up

Solid response
The hypocrisy loud

solonnachi:
If Nigeria qualifies for AFCON before the qualifiers are over, I will suggest AE uses the untested players

Exactly!!!!
Not in high stakes matches
Once we secure qualification, by all means, throw the gates open!

zuchyblink:
I love Akor Adams and Christantus Uche,they are physically strong and are fit for African football

That Uche guy strong o
He is reminiscent of the quintessential Cameroonian player of yester years..
Those Rigobert Song era
Those guys were strong mehn!

Goke7:
The factor that makes boniface bang in goals for his club needs to be studied by AE and his crew. They may have to tweak something somewhere or a pep talk with the player. If not folks will continue blaming his social media antics (which has proven to be untrue) for his inability to score for the national team. For me sha boniface will get his goals eventually the question is just when.

I agree
Maybe playing him as the top striker is not the answer
I observed that he likes to run at defenders and use his trickery
Hopefully they will unlock him against Libya

Starboytwo:
I've always wondered who will score for us if Osimhen no play... Like I don't have any dependable goal getter in the SE.

Iheanacho dey try.
Chukwueze no try at all for goals.
Iwobi, not a goal scorer club and country
Onuachu - only goal I know is Egypt.
S. Moses. (impressive imo) maybe 1 or 2 goals.
Awoniyi. Big name. 1 goal in 7-8 matches.
Aribo.. After Brazil friendly, zero goal.
Ndidi.. Well, not expected to score.
Dessers... ⚽ 🥅 =🙆🙆
Moffi - - 1 or 2 goals.
Sadiq - -😭😭



Ademola Lookman says Hi He has scored about 6 goals in his last 10 apps for the SE.

Since the beginning of Afcon, he has become a Main Man. It's now if Osimhen no score, Lookman go score.

I hope Boniface can cook ASAP.

Boniface and Lookman are in good form
I expect goals from both
Boniface to score in one of the games, Lookman to score in both..

By the way, that Sadiq rating made me laugh
You killed it there
😂😂😂😂😂

Goke7:
Exactly, friendly games should be used to try out new players. Most folks forget that the qualifiers are competitive games that can't be toyed with. My only worry is that we struggle to score without an osimhen, I hope we break the jinx this time around.

Lookman says hi .

Joezinho:
Everytime northern factor. What about kelechi iheanacho’s inclusion? Isn’t it eastern factor?

I like this 😂😂😂😂

Udinese are vexing this season o
From fighting relegation last season to top 4, though I know the season still young..
Shey them sack their coach from last season ni??

Hotepking:
I feel you, you have a good point about team harmony

Yeah, the games are coming fast and we can't afford to experiment now
Any new player invited would need time to blend in
I feel it's better to just use the guys that have been part of the setup in the last few months

Hotepking:
Yes we shoukd be able to beat Libya with this squad ,but there's no excusing the pathetic invitations to the likes of Tanimu, a league 3 benchwarmer should never be accepted as a new standard for the national team no matter how likable the player is, that is setting a very dangerous precedence of mediocrity already. I wonder how players like Gabriel Osho, Jordan Torunarigha, Akpoguma etc will free putting in 90 minutes of their football week in & week out in the higher tiers of European football, only to get consistently excused from international football over league 3 benchwarmers. The only positive about this squad was the invitation of Ejuke, even the likes of Dessers, Arokodare etc will have justifiable grudges for being omitted over the likes of Awoniyi and Nacho that have been in poor/average forms at their clubs.

Merit should always be the standards, not sentiments or "paddy paddy"

I completely understand you bros
But I see AE doesn't want to distort the harmony of this team and understandably so..
We shouldn't tinker too much because of the high stakes of these games
If you noticed, AE also smartly reverted to something close to the system JP used most of the AFCON, because the players were used to that system
Finidi tried to be inventive but failed.
AE seems to have learned from that
It's about stability for now because of the high stakes of these games, which I think is wisdom..
When we have friendly matches, we can invite everybody

Decent list
The squad is strong enough to pick up the full points against Libya
If they show the same seriousness as they did last window, nothing can stop them
I think Getafe 's coach insistence on playing Uche as a striker affected his chances of getting a call up
I don't think our coaches see him as a midfielder
I don't mind Tanimu
May not be the best, but he's been decent whenever called upon
And they seem to be grooming him to take over from Ekong
Great to see Ejuke back
He should sit on the bench and watch how Lookman plays the role with maturity..

Do us proud boys!!!

Bannedlargejr:
Let me see those nonsensical nonentity Yesmen clowns come near ademola lookman, ka nkita lacha umu nna na nne ha

You go chook somebody bottle abi?
😂😂😂😂

Bannedlargejr:
Typical response of a nonsensical nonentity yes men. Those people are the worst humans to surround yourself. Go and read boniface twitter, does that look like something a professional playing for a serious organization will be twitting? I’m the type of brother to praise you when you excel and constructively criticize you when you fork up, it doesn’t mean that, I’m hoping for your downfall (God forbid). Look at ademola lookman, he gradually worked his way to being our best player and he is calm, cool and collected. He isn’t clowning around with jokers. In few months time, he will be declared as the APOY winner. As for Boniface, I expect him to score tomorrow

My brother, why not let nature take it's course?
So far, we've seen that Boniface's behavior on social media has not in anyway affected his performance on the pitch
Infact, have you seen the Bayer 04 handle?
The admin tweets and catches cruise like Boniface..
As long as he doesn't disrespect the club, the fans and even the SE, then he's fine
That's what it means to be professional

Lookman is a quiet and unassuming person
He has a different personality from both Victors

You are only looking for wetin no loss

Amedino99:
e still dey annoy you say Twitter antics no affect Boniface performance. You no see opportunity to complain but you still chook him Twitter matter enter discussion.

My brother!
The guy matter long
Now he's desperately waiting for some disaster to befall Boniface, so he go say na because of Boniface social media antics
Na wa

Goke7:
Napoli existed before Osimhen and will continue to exist, so there is no mockery anywhere. But the major thing about European clubs is that they never forget their stars who brought them glory no matter how long ago it was. For example, I was so emotional when Victoria Setubal honored the late Rashidi Yekini when he died. Osihmen will forever be a hero at Napoli and even his grandchildren and great-grandchildren will always be reminded of his heroics. So chill, dude has made an everlasting impact no matter what the haters think. He has set the highest standard for anyone who has stepped into his shoes and if they don't deliver the scudetto they will always be reminded to be like Victor or Maradona who brought them glory. chikena

You too much
His name is indelibly etched in Napoli's history..
Nothing anyone can do about it

elyte89:
Life no b nollywood .. d moment i saw conte recruiting mctominay and gilmour for dt middle , I knew he meant biz …several midfield options

Truth be told
I always wanted Osimhen to play under Conte..
But that was when we didn't know the sordid details of his ordeal at Napoli and how they treated him shabbily
Still I'm excited for what Conte is doing at Napoli
But me don follow Starboy go Gala
Nothing concern me with Napoli again until the end of VO's loan deal..

ChrisKels:
Abi make e no too pain me okwa ya? Well, I go block them for twitter.

Lol
We don unfollow and block them since

ChrisKels:
Napoli is doing well in the absence of Osimhen. NGL this their success dey pain me because it now looks like they are mocking Osimhen. 😡😡

Na normal thing
As long as Osimhen himself is doing well, everybody go dey alright
Let's just hope he comes back stronger and firing on all cylinders.
He needs to produce a stellar season
Win the league, score huge number of goals, do well in the UEL

Truidstarr:
Como dey ball oooo!!! Fabregas onto something gooo.

They are bold and fearless
Took note of them when they took Lookman's Atalanta to the cleaners..
Kudos to Fabregas

BankyGee:
I already said it here that even transfermarkt has it that he'll return by 7th October, I still dey surprised why false news just dey fly upandan.

You sabi book my guy

minfelix:
if going by this speculation of 6weeks, its means he’s out of the afcon qualifiers campaign…
6weeks ma till around mid-November when we will be playing our last matches against Rwa and Ben.
anyways he should just play safe and be fit for March WCQ
we wish him soeedy recovery

Here.

mrwilliams9:
Osimhen’s injury record is what I believe truly put many big clubs off him. Spending €100M for a striker that gets injured regularly is not a good investment.

Part of being elite, world class is being ready for selection. That’s why you have to give CR7 his props. His longevity is top notch.

It reminds me of the sports adage.

“The best ability, is availability” and being very honest, Osimhen’s availability is spotty.

This is just the truth.

Calm down comrade..

Subzerooo:
Finidi has left the chat

Lol

SamueItem337:
Cyriel Dessers with an assist

This guy dey vex this season o
A goal contribution every other game
I pray he's invited this time

This UCL and UEL group formats will expose a lot of "big teams"
I expect surprises

Amedino99:
all the foreign born including tosin are all waiting for england call up and that is why I don't really consider them when discussions of future xi comes up.

I completely understand you

Mujtahida:
This is what England is doing 👇👇

Very apt!!
