not inviting Nwakali cheesy
Just tell the house that Nwakali is the reason Amaka didn't marry you and we will understand. grin Your hatred for this boy is so obvious. The little boy in you jumps out at the mention of his name. Na wa....

Re: "The Super Eagles Thread: The Road To AFCON 2027, 2028 And 2030 World Cup by TheSuperNerd(m): 12:05am On Aug 27, 2021
You complain about creativity yet some of you here comfortably sh*t on Nwakali. One of the MFs that hold such qualities in the middle. It is well. grin

Nwakali and Alhassan. What's wrong in having both or at least one of them in the list for Cape Verde ahead of an Inactive Kingsley Michael and a Shehu? I laugh but we move.

chrisooblog:
It looks like we are going to be seriously depleted in the midfield area. Don't know why alhassan wasn't called up. We will be going to Cape Verde without any creativity in midfield unless we bring in one of the forwards to help out. If we can get an away draw that will be fine
Re: "The Super Eagles Thread: The Road To AFCON 2027, 2028 And 2030 World Cup by TheSuperNerd(m): 12:09am On Aug 27, 2021
Kingsley Michael is a lad I rate and like but I can tell you without mincing words that his invite is undeserved. He hasn't played one game this season and Played so very little last season. This is who Rohr chose over Alhassan and Nwakali. And yes I know what qualities he brings but his inactivity is a problem.

And Bonke is a DM. He is needed to stand in for Ndidi and Onyeka for the Cape Verde game. That call makes sense.

edi287:
Kingsley Michael over Alhassan Yusuf and Nwakali is a no for me.
Isn't this Bonke dude a DM? What is Rohr's fetish with DM FFS?!?!
Re: "The Super Eagles Thread: The Road To AFCON 2027, 2028 And 2030 World Cup by TheSuperNerd(m): 12:15am On Aug 27, 2021
Like I rightly predicted, Rohr picked 3 names from this List.

- Shehu Abdullahi

- Kingsley Michael (who has not even played a game this season yet I included him because my contact hinted to me yesterday that his name came up in discussions with Rohr. And I was baffled because I reminded him the lad has not played a game for long while).

- Innocent Bonke (included him too because I got hints but wasn't sure at the time).

So you see, Rohr made his picks even from a good number of choices. No more excuses for him.






TheSuperNerd:
The Revised Expanded list

The Selected Midfielders for Cape Verde will very likely come from this List:

- Shehu Abdullahi (Omonia Nicosia, Cyprus)

- Joel Obi (Salernitana, Italy)

- Alhassan Yusuf (Royal Antwerp FC, Belgium)

- Kelechi Nwakali (SD Huesca, Spain)

- Tosin Kehinde (Randers FC, Denmark)

- Obinna Nwobodo (Goztepe, Turkey)

- Innocent Bonke (Malmo FF, Sweden)

- Kingsley Michael** (Bologna, Italy)

- Marcus Ayomide Abraham** (Feirense, Portugal)

- Vincent Onovo (Randers FC, Denmark)

- Azubuike Okechukwu* (Sivasspor, Turkey)







Note:

**Yet to play a game in 21/22 season as at today.

*Unsure.

Also, Joe Aribo is a sure bet in the absence of anything keeping him out.

Raphael Onyedika Nwadike: fine player but I don't think he is in the picture just yet.

Adewale Oladoye: Still early days.

Akinkunmi Amoo: Still early days as well.
Re: "The Super Eagles Thread: The Road To AFCON 2027, 2028 And 2030 World Cup by TheSuperNerd(m): 12:26am On Aug 27, 2021
You speak without intelligence and reasoning sometimes. And you are too lazy to check things for yourself all because hatred and disgusting dislike for a lad has blinded you to common sense.

Now let me ask you... How many Serie A games have Kingsley Michael played in the last one year+ and infact how many Serie A games has he played in his whole career in Italy? Biko answer. grin

Kingsley is a lad with good workrate yet he hasn't been playing right? Please what game of his did you watch recently to back up this statement on workrate?
grin Please don't tell me you are using your Knowledge of him from the U-17s.


I recall vividly that when Nwakali was inactive and not playing you said he never deserved any form of invite and that is true. You also said we should not talk about an inactive lad and that we should stop making reference to his U-17 exploits. But here you are speaking without shame about an inactive player using his U-17 days as source of your info on workrate. Why not apply this same logic to Kingsley? grin

And all this for what? Just because you would rather have anyone else picked instead of Nwakali. You are not thinking about the good of the team.... you are only thinking about Nwakali not getting on the team.

Kingsley Michael only played 3 times throughout last season because of injuries, being left out of the squad and then being benched a couple times. This season, he hasn't even seen a minute of gametime. This is who you are very satisfied to have on the list just as long as it is not Kelechi Nwakali.

You really need to heal Boy. Your hate is obvious. So disgusting. Tueh.




P.S: I like Kingsley Michael and still keep keen eyes on his progress. This is why I know this much and more about the lad. I rate him but to be Frank, his records for the past three seasons indicate this call is just too soon. Could he perform? Well, he is a good talent and can spring a surprise but he hasn't earned this call. That is the truth.

charlesemeka85:
not ahead of Alhassan buh definently ahead of Nwakali. Atleast Kingsley na Serie A player with good work rate

Kingsley micheal,s choice makes no sense. Nwakali and Yusuf have been in good form with rave reviews from the European media while Kingsley has not even been playing regularly.

Cape Verde is a very good side. With this team list, Nigeria stands no chance on a poor synthetic pitch in a very windy stadium in Cape verde. They are gaint killers. They once defeated Portugal with the Ronaldo of this world. Even second team of Cameroon that Rohr could not defeat had their first team losing by 3 goals. You will surely be humbled very soon bro.
3 points..will quote you on that day. I repeat "Na Cape Verde, No be Brazil " Chillax.

Nwakali has very decent creativity. Nothing like small. Not world class by any stretch but dude holds his own in that department. No caps. Eye test says enough.

Okay, It's not Rohr but 100% "someone else" and then he couldn't convince them to invite Alhassan abi?? He didn't see Alhassan to use on their "small minds" manipulatively?

We keep talking about Northern influences and all that, so what stops Rohr from dangling the "northern flavor" of an Alhassan on the list?

Still think Rohr doesn't also have a say no matter if it's a 50-50 say? Like I said before, it's on Rohr as much as it's on the NFF and the so called "Someone else". They all have their percentage responsibilities in this nonsense.

And being a good CM is not just about workrate. You speak nonsense so much when it's to play down Nwakali. So nauseating.

charlesemeka85:
being a good CM goes beyond creativity which can come from other positions on the pitch

My good man, I saw this coming but I didn't wanna say a thing.

He has a say, definitely, but theirs outweigh his. Truly, if could ship in Alhassan. But what if they've shipped in their own man into the Midfield part that if Alhassan's name pops up,its trashed almost instantly??

Don't mind the hypocrisy in here from Anti-Nwakali minions.

Nwakali goes inactive and flops at a few clubs and they say he is rubbish (no problem). grin
He begins balling good again and has been a regular this season yet they still play denial. grin

Now, Kingsley Michael has been inactive and has also has one or two flop seasons and haven't even played a minute this season yet they say he is the "right call". Anything just to justify anyone else's call so long as it is not Nwakali. grin

This is no longer football analysis. It's a bunch of agenda goobledygooks.

He was officially announced as an Udinese player just under 9 hours ago.

Wanted. wink

A natural. Took his goal really well. Difficult angle from that position but he pulled it off.

First Olympiacos goal and definitely/hopefully many more to come. Carry on Henry.

Isaac success is lucky. Despite his injury and loss of form he still gets into good teams. There are many players who are not given a chance like him.
He must have divine favor.
I mean many African players are dropped after 5 bad matches and an injury.
He is good but I wonder why they still rate him so highly given the impatience of European football that is very competitive

Re: "The Super Eagles Thread: The Road To AFCON 2027, 2028 And 2030 World Cup by TheSuperNerd(m): 1:43am On Aug 27, 2021
Based on the list, it's very possibly Ejuke. I understand a few people I know who had forehand knowledge of Onyekuru being on the list also consider Onyekuru an Iwobi replacement but not necessarily a like for like replacement.

Shehu and Collins over Tyronne is pure murder!

Re: "The Super Eagles Thread: The Road To AFCON 2027, 2028 And 2030 World Cup by TheSuperNerd(m): 2:53am On Aug 27, 2021
Very possible based on the players that would be available for CV from the 30-man list.

But Bonke-Kingsley-Ejuke is a brand new Midfield combo with a double pivot and an Ejuke behind the striker.
Shehu is also one who can fill in at DM but he plays more at RB than DM for Omonia Nicosia.

Would Rohr play Bonke over Shehu at DM? Or would he play both together? (Yuck!! Together?! I really hope not!).

Would be interesting seeing Rohr break his "experience first" code of safety in a competitive fixture away from home.

Time will tell.
