This rubbish again!

How many times will you be told that Rohr complied the list?
Rohr omitted Dessers name!

What's this deep hatred for local coaches and obsession with oyibo coaches you have?
it's pathetic o.. You, Komekn,Idenna and Emeka are all on the same WhatsApp group in case you don't know ..
So Rohr added Nwakali to the initial list?

why would a sane coach pick up to 4 goal keepers to one tournament??

A tournament with just 7 matches at maximum. What was he thinking


Most teams are going with 4 goalkeepers anyway...

Nwakali was added as a replacement for Onuachu who got injured .

Rohr listed only 4 midfielders out of 40 players on the list... Did Eguavon did something horrible by including Nwakali name?
If not Nwakali,please tell us which midfielder should have made the list, or would you have preferred we went with just 4 midfielders?

Too many cooks spoil the broth

Doesn't seem like it.. As long as there's a hierarchy..
Eguavon is the technical adviser, Salisu is chief coach, Yobo and Aigbohun are assistant coaches, Agu is goalkeeper coach and the last guy, I don't remember his role....

With all your experience in English football, I am surprised you do not know about a work permit. Kelechi Nwakali suffered in his early career due to work permit issues.

On the 16th September 2016 Nwakali played his first match in the Eerste Divisie for Maastricht. He was there for a full season playing 34 games. Is that not enough for a player's to show outstanding quality❓

However, it was assumed he had stepped up and he went to the Eredivisie with Venlo in the 2017/18 season. But Venlo discovered he was not good enough and sent him back down to the Eerste Divisie after 1 2 games. After the end of the season nobody wanted him. He went to be Porto B and couldn't even become a regular in the youth team. He goes to Huesca who even lonef him out not good enough to initially. He's back to Huesca in obscurity done nothing.

Your clutching at straws once again, trying to Justify the UNJUSTIFIABLE.

So KC had two heads that's why he got work permit Arsenal could have made a case for exceptional talent to get him a work permit but found no exceptional talent .

It's now comedic TheBigJoe is making a very big joke. grin grin grin grin grin grin so funny.

I am confused. Conflicting reports everywhere.

Half of the media is saying Ighalo will be replaced by no one and we will go to AFCON with 1 less player. The other half is saying Dessers has been called up and Feyenoord is even negotiating releasing him with the NFF. Which is the correct news?

I think Eguavoen will bring Dessers if the finance if the NFF is ready to pay the fine. Our striking department is low now and he knows it. He left out Dessers because he want to replace the Initial players who pulled out from the 40 man list. Going outside that list may have been somehow.

You guys pull out the most useless of excuses to defend this man, he went to the depths of South Africa to call up Ndah but calling up a hotshot from Holland would be somehow

Why would Rohr leave Desser out of the 40 man list in the first place? A red hot striker in the Eredivise!
And Subzero and Emeka were all over here ranting that Eguavon chased the foreign borns away..

Don't count your chicken before they are hatched. Our friendly brother Nation Ghana should not be dismissed so easily.

By all means support your nation but it's not wisdom to denigrate another nation with emotive negative bias not objectivity.

Look at Ghana midfielder, all playing at high levels.

Ayew Andre ( no introduction needed)
Thomas Partey - Arsenal
Iddrisu Baba - Mallorca
Mubarak Wakaso (Shenzhen)
Mohammed Kudus - Ajax
Kamaldeen Sulemana - Rennes

These are Ghana's midfielders, l haven't put any one playing in leagues below the top 7 in Europe, apart from Wakaso who left La Liga, for Chinese ££$$.

Now let's look at our midfielders, would you say we have players in our midfielde that are COMPREHENSIVELY better than Ghana, l would not even suggesi it.

A friend should always underestimate your virtues and an enemy overestimate your faults“ — Mario Puzo


Onyeka - Brentford
Aribo - Rangers
Ndidi - Leicester
Ejuke - CSKA
Nwakali - SD Huesca - Segunda Division
Alex Iwobi - Everton.

If we adopt this your condescending dismissive attitude we will beaten by Sudan.

Kudus is not going to AFCON. Also, Kamaldeen is not a midfielder! Partey, Wakaso, and Iddrisu is a pretty average midfield in my estimation. Duncan and Schulup should have been called up! Nigeria's midfield is one of the best in this AFCON.

Rest already... You made too much noise here about recalling Ighalo, despite the fact that the evidence on ground showed that recalling him wasn't a solution.. Now look at it... It is the same rookies you like to mock that will lead the charge at the AFCON...
Ighalo didn't lose out because he doesn't deserve it. Instead of talking out of point you should be worried. Circumstances gave them the opportunity even though they are not sure starters

Didn't Everton apply for work permit for onyekuru under the special talent clause? How come he never got it? Anyway,the point is that the reason Nwakali did not play for Arsenal is that he had no work permit, not because he was so horrible in training that he could not be played (which anyone who's unaware of the work permit issue will assume from that statement).

You think nwakali would have played for arsenal if he had he work permit ?

At least he would have had the chance to compete in the academy like Iheanacho did in man city. The point is he didn't get that chance and so had to be jumping from team to team in the low leagues in Europe. European kids would not have that experience. Someone should not now claim that Arsenal signed him but he never played for them because he was bad.(modified)

I was thinking naija should have gone with 3 and add a midfielder with the last GK spot ,but that shouldn’t be a problem ,many afcon coaches went with 4GKs so please don’t use that to criticize eguavoen

Or maybe you will tell me those coaches aren’t sane

What is clutching at straws? You can say Kelechi Nwakali did not break through after trials but done use Gnabry and Arsenal. That is you pretending about the work permit issue. I can see you side stepped it and refuse to talk about it. You know what you are doing.

I can not remember how we pulled Nacho's work permit but I know it took a battle. We got him on by applying for a work permit based on special talent and then kept in the academy to break in as a home grown talent. However, it was Pellegrini insisting on not buying a striker and making nacho priority. That was why we could fight. Without Pellegrini, it would have been a different scenario.

Kelechi Iheanacho suffered in different systems after he left City, did not mean he would turn out a bad player. Kelechi Nwakali having challenges to breakthrough does not mean he will end up a failure.

My heart and prayers remain with Kelechi Nwakali and I believe he will turn out a huge success soon.

Please, let us ease on Ighalo. The guy just wanted to serve his country. I do not think he planned to cause the team any problem. We can criticize Ighalo on a number of things, but we cannot criticize his commitment to the success of the team.

He is naturally a good guy and would not cause Nigerians pains. Even Eguavoen said he is protecting Ighalo from going into a battle with the club. That will tell you his commitment.

Please, guys, Ighalo is still our main man.

Eguavoen mentioned he has not watched him play and i am..is this man been truthful to himself, this is a chap that plays for one of the biggest club in Holland, play in Europa, score goals and a national team technical director says he does not know how he plays...We are in a for a long thing...thank God he leaves after Afcon back to his previous post.

That's a damning verdict on Eguavoen. It means he hasn't been doing his job. As TD he should keep a dossier on all Nigerian players in Europe top leagues at least.
I laugh when people praise Eguavoen's tactical acumen. This guy was a resounding failure the last time he was with the super Eagles. He was hounded out from the national team with all kinds of bad press.

The man keeps talking about luck everytime. That tells he has an already made excuse should he fail. I have never heard a top manager talking about needing luck in interviews, klopp? Tuchel? Flick? Pep? The man is clueless.

We now have round of 16 in the nation's cup then quarter finals, no way he navigates through and get to the semi finals on luck. Eguavoen doesn't have the capacity, who wan bet?
