Why do u guys like to call it pursuing like it is something so serious. Give them a call and see where their head is at. It doesn't cost much to have a conversation.
God bless you bro

Since he once had ambitions of playing for us but the call didn't come i see no reason the nff shouldn't try to reach out to him now that he is doing well

To be honest aside osimhen, Sadiq, resurgent Iheanacho and Moffi I no dey rate other forwards wey we get expecially onuachu and Simi wey no get balance for ground

This is a 20 yr old performing well and still have the opportunity to even get better in the future and some re here suggesting we allow him slip off just because we hv Onuachu and Simi nwankwo

Players no dey do and if we have 10 scoring strikers in Europe I don't see how it will affect the team negatively

Na wa ooo. You can’t see what he would have brought to our team!? You don’t mean it! shocked

i wanted to make a case for him few weeks ago buh for the fear of been tagged an asslicker I just respected myself

The boy is even currently linked to man untd, Everton and cska Moscow and his stats is one that shouldn't be ignored

It won't hurt if the nff reaches out to him before he gets cap tied by the US
Omo that guy is bomb, and he still has age on his side. He is my kind of a point man, he is well built like his older brothers Emmanuel Emenike(cousin) and Bright Dike, and he is just as strong as the two.

At just 19 years old, he has full understanding of the game. Evidence is how he carries Arsenal on his shoulder despite having World class players.

He is definitely better than most of our wingers. If not all.

Our team needs an Eze, I still hope he comes. Our team needs an Olise, I pray he comes too, but I can't ass lick them because I believe we can produce them here if we do the right things. Our team is not in dire need of a Saka, he was not gonna bring nothing different.

Emeka was swearing here and there that Eze would play for us grin grin

I have never talked about Olise on this thread because I'm not really into him..until he plays for us..
I don't buy into this idea of praising FBs to the high heavens like they carry some special super powers..
Bros an Eze behind a crazy striker like Osimhen will definitely see Eagles sodomize many teams at the world stage.

god bless you, a big striker who can bully CBs any day any time no be this irokos wey we dey produce of late wey no even get off the ball movement let alone balance

When i see real talent I know and I bet you this guy will explode in the epl if he makes the leap next summer. Imagine his stats after just joining Jan abi feb

The only striker that has such built that we can boast of is Moffi. I rate Sadiq because he has the Kanu flavor in his game not just only goal scoring while osimhen is a born hustler of the ball who fears no defender and has pace to burn

If only you knew how much I love Mitchel Antonio and Daniel Amokachi. I like bulldozers as strikers, that was why I loved Emenike and Bright Dike. I liked Anichebe too but him and Ighalo be like dem cut dem from same cloth, so I withdrew my "like" grin

Oga leave this Simi talk abeg. We re talking of a 20 yr old here tearing the championship apart with goals and not only that linked with a move to top 6 epl sides

These are the type of talents we need for the future not these iroko trees we get as forwards of late (excluding osimhen) cheesy cheesy
Lol... You are not nice Charles. Lol... Onuachu is still a young man at 26 and having the best season of any African forward in very recent times. He could end up in a top 5 league club also.

SADIQ is 24 and a real baller tearing up La Liga Smartbank and is also heading to Sevilla all things considered.

And Simy... Well, 28 or so and doing it in the Serie A.
No way he won't be making a move to a serie A side or any top 5 league side too. These "Iroko trees" are all worth the attention.

Daryl is good but he is doing it in the Championship. Being linked with the Big 6 clubs in England is good but you know how "links" stories can go. It can be realised or not.
Also, we have a Moffi who is just as young and already doing it in Ligue 1, a top 5 league.
Awoniyi was also on fire in Germany (Bundesliga) before his injury.
We have an Ike Ugbo also doing it very good in Belgium.

So you see... It's not just the Iroko trees we have. wink

We can try to talk to the lad (Dike) but if his mind is made up already about his chances with the US (who lack truly top CF options compared to us) then there's nothing we can do and it won't be a big deal because we are well covered in that position. The Super Eagles No.9 position is brimming with quality and we boast strikers better and with much higher ceiling than Dike even now.

The end.

Don't know how this is gonna come across, but I don't rate any of our centre backs. They all have huge deficiencies, albeit Balogun is slightly ahead of them all. I always wish we had Tomori to partner a player like Torunarigha, but right now I'm looking at Paul Chigozie Iweru of Juventus and Osazemwinde Uroghide of Sheffield Wednesday as possible CB options

There are crazy strikers springing up left right center and if given the chance could deliver better than Osimhen.

We saw how Onuachu did a replica of Yekinis goal technique with his kneel control before he volleyed the ball into the net. That was not a fluke.

The point is, if a player is better than what we have springs up, he should be chosen ahead of what we have. No shirt should be guaranteed for any player.

We saw what happened with Iheanacho and after he was ignored by the national team.

The points you made above re not tangible enough reason to see him slip off our fingers

To be honest I don't foresee Onuachu having a fruitful long career in the super eagles, if I were to be a coach he is not my type of striker because is an old fashioned striker who tend to be static at the number 9 position unlike modern 9s that re more mobile and switch positions wen the need arises

Sadiq on his part is not only about scoring both possess this creative spark we only saw when Kanu was still in the super eagles. He has a good footballing IQ that can be handy against stubborn defensive minded teams.

Moffi is replica of lukaku if you have seen him player and aside osimhen he is the only power playing left footed striker we can boast of

Simi is no different from Onuachu and strikers of their kind re easily marked out in games

We have to talk to dike first before finding out if his mind is made up or not. With suc crazy Stat just few months joining barnsley frm the MLS he deserves a look in. Him being linked to top 6 epl teams means he is doing something that enticises those teams and I see no reason he won't get a move to the epl if he continues with his form

The English championship to be is more competitive than the Belgian, scotish and Dutch top tiers and for a player to be raking up mouth watering stats after just joining few months ago he truly deserves the hype

Senegel - Abdou Diallo and Kalidou Koulibaly



By the way, did you know the worst defense of the AFCON Qualifiers was Nigeria's, both for the qualified teams, and the teams that couldn't make it? No defense shipped in more goals than Nigeria's

Awo's potentials definitely surpasses Ujah's by far. You forget this Awoniyi gave the Bayern Defence hell and also made mince meat of the Dortmund defence all in this current season. Awo is definitely among our long list of quality options in the CF role.

Never mention Ujah and Awoniyi in same sentence again like this one. angry
