@Elyte see one of them here 🤦‍♀️

DeloitteNG:
I don't support Iheanacho call up but it's a big fat lie to say he was underwhelming for us

JohnBullMySon:
TBH, considering precedent and FIFA laws, something like this was looming.

Infantino is most likely the reason why this whole thing was even allowed to progress this far, cos he's a quid pro quo guy and some people like Amaju Pinnick who favoured the NFF intervention are close to him.

A regular FIFA president would have suspended NFF right from day one, cos let's be honest, what the government, NSC, and some NFF stakeholders did was a clear violation of FIFA principles.

Ok …maybe u shld remind me of any tournament iheanacho was outstanding,even as worse as chukwueze is in terms of performance,he gave us some clutch moments In 2019 afcon or so

Amedino99:
Do you think if these players were eligible for Nigeria instead of DRC, we would have difficulty in convincing them to play for us?

Oga your NFF is the biggest problem. Congo that is war torn is attracting players. What is our excuse? The NFF, Local coaches and the local journalists keep forcing this homebased agenda while neglecting the diaspora. This is where the problem is. Other countries invites their brightest and best while Nigeria is still trying to call up the likes of Sodiq Bending and a 40 year old Ihenacho.

Joebie:
Okay so why do you think DR Congo players in diaspora love their country, but our's don't?

Napoleon55:
None of their players would be difficult for us to convince, but they would still have problems convincing the likes of Saka and Olise to choose them,maybe Morocco stood a chance,
but still they were unable to convince Olise to play for them.

Napoleon55:
What do you think that the NFF should do in getting top talented players?
and what do you think that NFF would have done in convincing very talented players like Olise and Tammy Abraham even though they have other preferences before they chose other countries?

TheSuperNerd:
Ojora Babatunde reports that Kelechi Iheanacho is in the Super Eagles Provisional list for the AfconQs.

Well, I await the final list.

TheSuperNerd:
Let me even try get into Chelle's head here for the CF role.

❌️Osimhen OUT *as at last reports
❌️Onuachu OUT *as at last reports
⁉️Terem Moffi, Unsure (was injured in Hamburg game over the weekend. Extent of injury not known yet)


✅️Akor Adams, IN (Sure banker to be called).
❔️🟢Tolu Arokodare, Maybe (in form but will see).
❔️🟢Rafiu Durosinmi, Maybe (will see, been decent in Belgium).
❔️🟢Taiwo Awoniyi, Maybe (He had a good game vs Man City over the weekend so will see).
❔️🟢George Ilenikhena, Likely (Expected to be the new guy called up in attack).
❔️🟢Victor Boniface, Unlikely (still finding his fitness and feet at Leverkusen this season).
❔️🟢Cyriel Dessers, Maybe (He is fit and in good form despite his red card last game).
❔️🟢Salim Fago Lawal, Unlikely (Needs to play more at Plzen).
❔️🟢Umar Sadiq, INJURED (no chance).
❔️🟢Josh Maja, Unsure (Never been called under Chelle but is back in Ligue 1 and playing).
❔️🟢Kelechi Iheanacho, Unlikely (Would be surprised if he makes it but we will see).


❔️🟢Moses Usor, Unsure (Inform and UCL-involved even now but Chelle may be cautious about calling up lots of new faces but will see)

Any other CF option out there has not been capped by The Super Eagles.

Subzero047:
Chai see the crop of attackers we've got

TheSuperNerd:
Moses Usor starts for LASK away at AEK Athens in the UCL league phase.

Game on in 28mins.

SolaFide:
Dude needs a look in by Eric Chelle

TheSuperNerd:

TheSuperNerd:
George Ilenikhena scores again

EElopa:
I have seen him play. He looks like a good player but he is simply not better than the players in front him. I just did not see anything in his game that made me scream wow this boy is a baller. He looked lightweight to me. I could be totally wrong though. He needs to continue to perform and hopefully transition to one of the top leagues where good performances there will get him noticed. The boy is not a scrub and he is someone I believe is in Eric Chelle data book.

solonnachi:
Hmmmm....
