How many of such players do we want to cap?

Mayb we should organise an international friendly even if it is against Benin republic strickly for talents we dont want to lose to European countries.

What if we are not leading, instead we are chasing a result with 20minutes to go. Would you be comfortable throwing the kid straight to the deep end? because you have already traded a place in the team for a more qualified player with an academy lad. Its not done anywhere bro....

It's best he's drafted to the U20. He gets to play in the AYC and WYC and get grow with the lads over there.
Trust me, England has no chance getting him snapped up. His family is totally focused on having him play for the eagles.

Bingo!
Hahaha u have found out dat Ibrahim Alhassan failed MRI before CAF U17 tourney after u repeatedly maintained he bench Iheanacho at d CAF tourney. Ore ma fi ara bale. Some people na encyclopedia of Nigerian football here o.

I also forgot to mention Benard Bulbwa among players dat graduated from U15 to U17. Some failed d MRI prio to d CAF U17 of which i cant figure out there names. So i cant tell u d number.
They are more than 5.

I wonder what u are argueing abt now because we already know that d MRI was performed jst before d CAF U17 & before d FIFA U17.

And of course u have accepted d fact dat Success displaced Awoniyi from d top 9 position.

So what is now ur argument abt?

TheGoodJoe:


Sometimes, Me I tire. You made it clear, Success displaced Awoniyi in the already selected U17. What he is trying to prove, I do not get.

The current team Manu Garba is building already have a selected 22 players out of over 50 players in camp. This stands as the current selected U17 team. With other players coming in and the when the MRI testing takes place, not all these 22 players will be in camp.

forgiveness:


Of course, I have always maintained that Ibrahim Alhassan benched Kelechi Iheanacho when he first came to the camp and throughout his stay in the team which included the qualifiers where he became the joint top goal scorer with 5 goals, before he was dropped due to failed MRI test few days before the CAF U17 2013 tournament started. As you can see, I never said he benched Kelechi Iheanacho in the CAF U17 2013 tournament.

If we have to go by your analogy that U15 automatically formed the nucleus of the U17 team then it is safe and right to say Ibrahim Alhassan gate crashed into the already formed team and relegated Kelechi Iheanacho to the bench.


Is that not what you meant before I proceed further with my point?

forgiveness:




There was nothing like already selected team before Isaac Success came into the team. He came before the U17 was constituted. The U17 team that was later constituted played the first preliminary qualifying match against Niger.

Guess what? Isaac Success started that match against Niger.

Tell me when he was displaced,?

Icon4s:


Ogbeni u no dey tire?!

Abeg Forget all those Alhassan and Iheanacho argument. There is no point to argue abt or to prove there. They are both nt part of the Rio team.

What ever needed to be proven has been proven: Iheanacho plays for Manchester City while Ibrahim Alhassan plays for Wikki Tourists of Bauchi.

Lets discuss Siasia's likely formation o jare.
Haba.

TheGoodJoe:



Was Isaac Success there from day one of the U17 screening exercise? Between Isaac Success and Awoniyi, who joined the team first?

forgiveness:


Of course, he was there from the days of screening. Screening was not done in one day. It has phases until camp was closed.

forgiveness:
Without the fall of Ibrahim Alhassan nobody for know Kelechi Iheanacho.

TheGoodJoe:


There are other players who did not make it in the camp that are still known today. I think you mean making a name from the tourney.

Highly Rated Akpoguma Reiterate Desire To Play For Germany Ahead Of Nigeria
[img]http://owngoalnigeria.com/2016/07/11/highly-rated-akpoguma-reiterate-desire-to-play-for-germany-ahead-of-nigeria/[/img]
Kelvin Akpoguma who was at a point in time called up to the Nigeria U-23 team has once again reveal his desire is to play for the German national team.


Born in Germany to a Nigerian father, the former captain of the U-20 team of Germany was among 47 foreign based players called up by coach of the Nigeria Olympic team when training started in 2014 but the 20 year old didn’t honour the invitation.


Prior to Siasia calling up the Hoffeinheim defender who spent last season on loan at second division side Fortuna Dusseldorf has told various news sources in Nigeria about his preference for the German national team even though he has twice visited Nigeria.


Akpoguma reiterated his hope of playing for the senior national team of Germany after playing for all most all cadre of their youth teams during an interview with German newspaper Bild picked up by Owngoalnigeria.com.


He wants to follow in the footsteps of Jonathan Tah who rose from Fortuna Dusseldorf to the national team of Germany as oppose to chasing a national team career with the senior team of Nigeria.


“The national team of Germany is my big dream, as a matter of fact no just a dream but my goal”.

It is always done in a process of building a U17 team and as time go on, you discover better players to replace those in the team.

Coach Manu Garba already has an U17 team of 22 players but screening is still going on.

So saying there was no U17 team during screening is not the exact way it works.

TheGoodJoe:


So in the list, how many of them were not in the Manu Garba's U17 camp.

forgiveness:


There was no U17 team as long as the camp is opened and no official list is published.

Once, the list is made public then the U17 is constituted and camp is closed.

Can you list the names of 22 players Garba Manu has in camp?

TheGoodJoe:


You enjoy making and dragging arguments. There is no guarantee that Iheanacho will not be known if he did not play in the U17 tournament.

That I not true. He was already promising and just like others that did not play, there would have been another opportunity to show him. He might have gone to a Nigerian league club and his talent would have been noticed.

That is the truth.

TheGoodJoe:


You enjoy arguing unnecessarily. Even after I have told you Manu Garba has already selected a TEAM from the early U17 screening. That is his U17 team. That is not the final list. Even after the CAF U20, there can be changes.

Using official and unofficial is just to drag that the coach does not have a team while he already has.

Manu Garba already has his team. With time it can change.

They are a Team. U17, in the National team camp, selected by the U17 National team Coach.

forgiveness:


Kindly, I pray you list them.

TheGoodJoe:


Can Manu Garba list them? So unless I can list them, Manu Garba does not have his current 22 man U17 team. LOL. Guy you are funny.

forgiveness:


He doesn't have hence he left the camp opened.

TheGoodJoe:


The things you say Baffle me. So you want to tell me now that the team Manu Garba selected, made of 22 players who train separately from the others in camp is not a team selected by Manu Garba.

Na wa. What are they if their not a football team? Secondary School Students?
