To hell with experience... Performance is the first criteria to consider when selecting players for a team .And as it stands, Iheanacho, Osimhen, Moffi,Simmy and Sadiq are performing better than Ighalo..
What experience does Ighalo have to offer the team? The experience of scoring penalties and missing crucial goalscoring opportunities abi?
Abi the experience of some nonsense holdup play?

I wonder where Ighalo see the experience

The guy is not even more experienced than iheanacho or even Iwobi in the national team , yet they talk about him like he's one national team legend that has played multiple competitions

andrewbaba44:
Ighalo is not needed in the eagles anymore for sure as we have better young strikers now

But Why are you guys having sleepless night by hearing the name ighalo ?

Is this hate or what ?

Especially that Enugu man chriskels With his gulder stomach

Can we just say that ighalo is living rent free on chriskels coconut head

Hahahaha Oliseh if I catch you ehhh

Haha oga sungorilla I no watch Teslim Balogun but read a lot about him... tear net just one of those old folktale

Sebastian Brodericks won maiden edition of U17 world cup with player like Ndidi Ugbade, Victor Igbinoba,Lucky Agbonsibvre,Dele Abubakar who happened to be my senior neighborhood brother.Brodericks was assisted by Christian Chuckwu.A good coach with youth team.

Paul the wonder boy Hamilton was a good tactician who took us to U20 Moscow 85 and came third with player like Samson Siasia,Monday Odiaka,Victor Igbinabaro,Waidi Akanni,Andrew Uwe,Godwin Eke,Osaro Obabaifo,Alloy Ago, Christian Obi.....coach Paul Hamilton took over super eagles from Chris Udumeze who failed to qualify Nigeria for 1986 Afcon and did a wonderful job before Manfred Hoener took over from him but continue as assistant.

In the 80s and early 90s Nigeria produced good coaches like Alabi Aissien,Willy Bazuaye,Tunde Disu,Kelechi Emeteole the caterpillar,Joe Erico,Jossy Lad and foreign one like Argentine known as Dominiques who coached Rancher bees in the 80s.

Also we have great administrator like Greek born John Mastroudes,Idowu Nathaniel father of UK athlete Idowu Philip,Isaac Akioye,SB Williams,Patrick Ikeji etc.

My man watching league in the 80s and 90s was fun with the of old rivalry like Rangers and Shooting Star or Leventis and Abiola Babes.

Yes Brodericks and Hamilton were great coaches but I believe they were also good soccer players.

Nigerians will request for Osimhen's omission when he stops performing,not the nonsense you wrote there..
Players like Ndidi, Ekong, Balogun,Iwobi, Awaziem, Iheanacho and Simon have been with the team for as far back as 2015 and are counted as experienced members... How many people have called for their omission?

The only point you have been able to use to support your suggestion is that Ighalo is experienced ..You are avoiding the more important questions which are
1) What his current level of performance?
2) What does he have to offer the team that the current crop of players can't?

Thanks bro...which experience does he have when he could not covert the beggin chance he has against Argentina at the world cup ?

He has always been average and cannot be said to better than Onauchu, Nacho , Simy, Moffi and Sadiq in skill, positioning, finishing, technique and goal conversion rate

Rohr is grossly incompetent and should be made to under stand that he will be sacked should he fail to lift the afcon

If only we can sure that a competent foreign coach will take over from him because I don't want an indigenous coach for now with their sentiments and not transparent players selection

Danielnino00:
Beats me how some folks keep tagging Ighalo an experienced and proven striker in the GWG.. Somebody that was a late bloomer..He meet guys like Ekong, Iheanacho,Omeruo, Ndidi,Shehu and Simon in the team..

Don't mind them, they chose to focus on his age and ignore his no of caps

It seems you're uncultured and not trained

The way you insult people shows you lack respect and manners for your very self...

Can't you pass your opinion reasonably.
Provide the stats oga if you have it

ChrisKels:

Anyone that watch football with sense on knows that dude is an average striker even Yakubu and Aghahowa can be said to have a better conversion rate than Igalo in the GwG Jersey......

Point of correction, the EPL isn't the best league in the world, it's not even the most competitive, it's just the most organized and has more viewers. Else how will you define Man City been a runaway leader in the EPL while same can't be said in Laliga.
Now to Ighalo top flight stats which you want to base your argument, Ighalo has scored 38 goals on 148 matches playing for Udinese in Seria A, Grenada in Laliga, Watford and Man I in the premier league. Ighalo highest goals return was in the Championship where he scored 20 goals playing for Watford, the next season in the premier league he scored 15 goals and after that he scored just a single goal for Watford, and he had to leave to China. Ighalo has scored about 140 career goals and most of these goals were scored playing in Norway, Udinese playing in Seria B, Grenada playing in Laliga 2, Watford playing in the Championship and obscure leagues playing in China and Saudi Arabia.
Ighalo scored just 4 league goals in Laliga 2 and Sadiq has scored about 16 in the same Laliga 2, Ighalo best season in top leagues football was scoring 15 for Watford, Simy has scored 19 for crotone. Ighalo played about 73 Laliga games for Watford and scored just 13 goals, that's about 1 goal in 5 matches and that's poor for a striker. He also played more than 55 matches for Watford in top flight EPL and scored 17 goals, that's also about 1 goal in 4 matches and that's also poor

Which of the aforementioned players are playing in Laliga? None

Apart from Simy who scored 19 goals so far this season, which one of those players done what Ighalo did in the best league in the world?

For your information, Ighalo scored 17 goals in all competitions in Epl.

Which one of the aforementioned players won golden boot in AFCON? None

They are not yet in Ighalo’s level.

The reason we are having this discuss is because of Rohr incompetency

I hope when one of this players you mentioned fails to convert a simple chance as ighalo I will see this your energy ?

Suddenly you are mentioning simmy onuachu ,players we know you don’t even like on a good day

Carry on,Na to sit down Dey look you

The experience that helped Nigeria to Qualify for world cup and was the top scorer at the last nation's cup. You cannot buy experience my friend

Helped Nigeria qualify to the WC with just one goal. Lol

He is a bitter kid, and like someone rightly said, he is having a turbulent upbringing, so you don't really have to blame him for that much. I just threw the stat in his face

Oga you can't compare Nacho conversion rate in front of goal to Ighalo....
there is nothing special about Him at all

ChrisKels:
Bros currently, Ighalo is crap and does not deserve a place in eagles set up.

Also, stop saying he was denied a PK, because he was never fouled for a PK neither was he the designated PK taker of the team, instead, Rojo's handling of the ball in the 18yard box presented Ighalo with a begging chance and he didn't disappoint by fluffing his lines as he was/is always accustomed with

he was denied a fvcking clear PK something I see with my two eyes...yea he was not the designated pk taker but you and I know Moses would have buried it... which might even lower the morale of the Argentinean and not chase the second goal even the official apologize publicly it was an error on his part..and I guess he was banned from refereeing ighalo is my opinion is more experienced than nacho I might be wrong though but I think right he has been a traditional strikerfor a while he knows how to get into those spaces and use them real well and his awareness is outta the world the assist Aina gave him in last AFCON comes to mind if you are playing against tough opponent with agbero defender like Ramos he can hold up real well for you he is a very dynamic player... and he gets penalty for you too when needed...playing in Saudi Arabia doesn't make him a bad player he achieve most of his feat for the eagles playing in Chinese league the quality is always forever for him.

PS he would never have missed the penalty nacho missed against Algeria or Tunisia he is a very good pk taker he is good bro not crap like you've said.

I think Pep will make playing without a recognized 9 a thing

Lol..what will now be said of Iwobi ??

This guys think experience and skill lies in old age.... what is currently happening raveals why Rohr never got a top European job in any of top 10 leagues prior considering coaching Madagascar for free prior Pinnick come to his rescue

Denied a PK

that's why he missed that begging chance

One simply can't give what he don't have...He is an average striker

At his age....strikers who are good are still cutting it in Europe top leagues

Arabiandude:
How many goals did he scored in that first season and how many has Sadiq scored this season?

20goals and that was in the second tier league just as Sadiq is doing in the second tier.

Ighalo played 21 games for Grenada in Laliga 2 and scored 4 goals,( that's about 1 goal in 5 matches)
Ighalo played 4 games for Grenada during their playoff and he scored just 1 goal( that's 1 goal in 4 matches).
Ighalo played 58 games for Grenada in 3 Laliga seasons and scored 13 goals( 13 goals in 3 season. That's about 4 goals per season and 1 goal in 4+ games).

How he first qualified Grenada to Laliga and later become Grenada legend according to some persons here with these stats is a misery only to them.

He did so well for Grenada playing in Laliga and he was signed by Watford, a championship club in England, not even a mid-table clubs in Laliga or EPL signed him from Laliga.

I hail una oh

He was not denied a PK because he wasn't fouled for the supposed PK, neither was he our designated PK taker, rather, the team was denied a possible PK, or better put, Victor Moses was denied a chance to increase his goals tally when our team was denied a PK.

ChrisKels:

You're right
glad you pulled out the stat

I started following up Ighalo right from when he was in Granada but he rarely score then in Laliga so I lost interest when he moved to Watford was happy but watch ing him play I know well that dude was likely a flash light kind of striker

he missed two chances one he could have actually buried the first but let's be fair to him he had the first chance in a very tight spot the only mistake he made was that he couldn't put in the far corner rather but it in the near corner..he was just unlucky he could have been a goal sef another was the volley he missed my brother that was an half chance any player could have missed he connected real well with the ball that was quite impressive but fired wide. let's not forget the ball came through the Argentinean defender hand so it was penalty not only my opinion but all other pundits opinion.

LOL..... don't mind them...
his move to Watford is similar to ekong kind of move...the same family controls both clubs plus udinese and he got to play because he had a European passport I followed him up then...

Ighalo got us a world cup ticket? With how many goals? Just a lone goal? Funny dude, it is about time you left for your romanceland, that is where you belong, because this section is too big for you

Man city vs Psg who will keep a high line tonight

andrewbaba44:
Well many people called for iheanacho omission when he was totally out of form and struggling

That's how it's done.

boss man we are saying the same thing it was as a result of the pressure he put on the defender that was how the defender lost his composure and committed the foul whether he was denied a penalty or nah Moses was denied a chance to increase his goals the fact remained we could have actually qualify for round of 16 this is a night I don't want remember again it was horrible. we were robbed actually.

humility33:

And he did a fluke in the EPL his first season and the next season, he scored only a goal.

He ran to China and came back years later, he still couldn't score a single goal for Man U in the EPL.

He was replaced by Cavani and his replacement has scored countless EPL goals already this season.

Ighalo should be mention in the same sentence with Makinwa and Ogbeche, not even in the same sentence with Emenike
