I don’t know how synergy in the Team camp would look like having Ighalo back, but I personally don’t think Rohr will coerce Oshimen to release the No.9 shirt for Ighalo.
It’s a tough decision to make though and I hope it doesn’t affect their relationship.

Lookman and Ejaria would definitely add value to the team. He needs to drop two defenders from that squad to accommodate these two.

For those calling for the dropping of Musa and Shehu, Musa is team captain and his level of commitment is a plus for him. While Shehu might not be a master of a position, he is a utility player. You need such player in your team in case of crisis situations.

MetalJigsaw:
please explain these. What kind of utility player and what crisis situations?

forgiveness:


Stop grasping at straws. Look at your initial statement below.



Stop deceiving yourself.

AFCON 2022: Rohr hints at inclusion of Lookman and Ejaria in Super Eagles team
pulse.ng
Ademola Lookman and Ovie Ejaria may be included in the Super Eagles squad for the 2022 Africa Cup of Nations.

The Super Eagles of Nigeria may soon get some reinforcements in attack with the introduction of Leicester City's Lookman and Reading's Ejaria.

Super Eagles boss Gernot Rohr is already looking beyond the ongoing World Cup qualifying series and ahead to the difficult task of putting together a team for the 2022 AFCON, which will take place in Cameroon.

In an interview with Elegbete TV, the German manager revealed some new faces may be part of the team to Cameroon, despite not participating in AFCON Qualification.

Rohr hinted that midfielder Ejaria and winger Lookman have a chance of being included in the final team to the 2022 AFCON.

According to the 68-year-old, both Ejaria and Lookman, who have represented England at youth level, have expressed their desire to switch international allegiance.

The Nigeria Football Federation, led by Amaju Pinnick are working on it, and Rohr expects a resolution as soon as possible.

Egbon, can Awaziem play as both DM and CM?

Icon4s:


Shehu Abdullahi can play as a DM, CM and RB, that is the 'utility' I am talking about.

Crisis situation such that some regular players in the team would be missing due to various reasons Such as injuries, suspension or other reasons such as what happened in the game against Cape Verde. Shehu Abdullahi, might not be a fantastic player, but he is often decent enough to get the job done when he has to fill into any vacant positions.

COOL10:
If only you guys would use the same amount of energy to speak against the constant invitations of Musa and Shehu who add very little to the team.
At least we know Ighalo can score goals

What does Musa offer? What does Shehu offer?
But we gotta have that quota system, don't we?

SMH

The 1996 team list was damn too good cos it was a mix team of US 94 and Atlanta 96.....Nigeria would have won 96 and 98 Afcon with ease.

andrewbaba44:


Musa ans shehu are old members and fan favorite so they are needed in the team

Do you think Rohr will start Igahlo over Osimhen?

Well, let us hope he adds some of our best players on the 28 man list.


As far as I am concerned, the National team selection is by Nigerians in the team and not Rohr.

Philosopher1979:


At least it's better than having Moses Simon, Ahmed Musa, onuachu and shehu Abdullah I in the team. At least they will bring value to the team.
I pray it works. Rohr is confused and so if he does something right by adding quality to our midfield and wings let us be happy.
If ademola lookman keeps Ahmed Musa out if the team and ejaria can add creativity to our midfield I will be happy.
At least it will be an improvement. Although it's funny waiting for their switch before quality can be added to the team when other home grown talent is there.
But Rohr is so dumb that taking this route could be the only way out.

Odunayaw:
All matched in recent history Sir.

They played good football yes. But this "I miss the SE of old" as if they conquered the world is where I'm not getting it

elyte89:



D moment rohr even confirmed DT some powers above stopped him from substituting iwobi for musa against argies den I knew truly,he doesn't have 100% power over d team

But if na one black coach make DT statement.. Dis place no go settle @ all

Ppu saw it and pretended as if its nothing since na a whity

AndSunGorilla:

When else did we make wc 2nd round back to back sir? When last did we win olympic gold? Besides Keshi when last did we win afcon or even come close? Like I said who knows the 94 to 98 team might have gone ahead to win 2 afcons but we may never know unfortunately. So to your question, they conquered Africa and were ranked top 5 in the world and many times in the top 20 sir.

When Nigeria is concerned , some things just defy rational.

Does it take three years to process a change of allegiance with FIFA .

It took Wilfred Zaha a very high profile player , who had already played for England senior national team. A mere 3 weeks plus to complete his change of allegiance with FIFA. This was with objections from the English side and huge amounts of negative press.

How long did it take Declan Rice to move from Ireland to England.

But not Nigeria, and some will try to justify the unjustifiable, it's CRASS INCOMPETENCE and possibly the issue's of Uncle Egunje.

Both of these players presented themselves Lookman and Ovie to play for Nigerian U17. But were somehow classed as not good enough hmmm Why

Odunayaw:
What makes one WC 2nd round better than another? That's the ceiling of our WC experience and it has been matched. No?
You're talking could-have-beens. That set's number of Afcon has been matched. Shikenan

Make una no take am as disrespect to that set but emotions can blow facts out of proportion

Danielnino00:


You are late to get party with your propaganda again... This issue was addressed here long ago with many people mentioning you after Ashleigh Plumptree had her switch from England to Nigeria approved within a few months... The issue is clearly not the NFF but the players...

I know if Taiwo Awoniyi was a foreign born playing in bundesliga with his performance this season,Rohr would have rolled out red carpet for him.
