Look, I follow the NPFL to a large extent.
In most cases i always endure the poor quality of the pitch and pictures.

I mostly do nt watch the games live bc of the EPL games bt i watch them later during my leisure times.

I even watched the replay of Enyimba vs MFM game last night enduring the look of that patchy UJ Essuene stadium pitch.

So i know what i am talking about. Any player that must wear the Super Eagles jersey must deserve it.

Taking abt Obinna Nwobodo we never said he was good for d Super Eagles but a good prospect.

TheGoodJoe:
Would have loved to see Sone Aluko in that role. I hope Rohr gives him a chance to play for the Super Eagles again.

krattoss:
where can I watch npfl highlights..?

krattoss:
OGA U can kill for this ur ALUKO

SS9 shows live matches. They show a repeat same night or during the week. Check dstv TV guide for more assistance.

And Oshaniwa

I can't disagree with you


With regards to Ovie and Etebor let's get something straight right now Etebor is ahead. However, Ovie na still small pikin, he is 18 and playing first team football, will he get better certainly how good can he get time will tell.

Should we cap him RIGHT NOW before he becomes hot property and he gets courted by the three Lions.

TheGoodJoe:
Injury. That is the point we are making. Ronaldo's injury troubles started at Inter Milan.

forgiveness:
Of course, I admitted Etebor is ahead of Ovie. No doubt about it but Ovie get talent and if he plays regularly he will get better.


To cap him now is reasonable and normal thing a sensible FA will do but NFF go wait until dem become supper star.

TheGoodJoe:
My elder brother who is a die hard Arsenal fan believes Wenger has also lost it when it comes to youth development. What is the need of Kelechi Nwakali signing for Arsenal if the young man will not get a chance to work with Wenger.

His handlers should plot on getting Kelechi Nwakali out of that club if Wenger is not interested in working with him. Take him to Spain where he will slowly grow into the club’s starting line-up.

Abeg how dem dey cap players?

Na to go visit him come put cap for him head Abi? As easy as that.

Cap this player cap that player all at the same time. How many matches does a national team play in a year?

The coaches can only invite a handful at a time or are you telling me the national team should be rotated amongst new/uncapped players?

Mind u also that friendlies are nt jst meant for capping of players they are more importantly for team building.

Besides most of those ur favorite players have nationality issues to sort out. So na to just Sidon dey wait for dem na.

Pls whom do we blame for d poor quality of d pitch or are u saying coz of bad pitch d home based don't deserve a call up.

If Obinna Nwobodo is still a prospect for Eagles at 20 then something is amiss.There is need to give this guys benefit of doubt may be they have something to offer instead of saying they are not good for Eagles.

My man talents abound in Nigeria league even in d schools but our major problem is that we are blindfolded with foreign based coz i don't see any reason player playing in Bosnia or Cyprus w be making Eagles squad or a player playing in division 2 or 3 in Europe.

Let me tell u why i believe we can find one or two home based that can find their way into Eagles squad.I have a friend known as Emma Olisadebe who later played for Poland and was instrumental to their qualification for 2002 world cup.This guy was discovered by coach Fanny Amu during NUGA game and preparation for world university game.

During world university game camping,a prolific striker in Nigeria league Edith Agoye need to be benched for this guy coz Olisadebe was a pure class.After World University game coach Fanny Amu convinced d guy that u need to take football as a career not just playing it,as at this time d guy doesn't have a club but playing normal campus football.

Fanny Amu took him to Jasper United where he spent just 4 months then straight to Polish league where he was scoring week in week out.He switched allegiance to Poland coz he was overlooked during Sydney 2000.This guy single handedly took Poland to world cup.A Nigeria University student that left school 1999 and find his way into Poland national team in late year 2000.

Now tell me are u saying we cannot find such player again in Nigeria despite our bad pitch.I believe player like Kanu,Okocha,Amokachie,Finidi,Yekinni,Keshi,Yakubu,Mikel and of recent Mba,Oboboana of Afcon 2013 fame came out of d same league.

forgiveness:
Hehehehe! You funny die.

You know how dem dey cap players na.

If you identify a very talented players with dual nationally, it is expected you give them sense of belonging and quickly cap them.

Noah is really a case study because Germany eyes dey for the boy but Rohr approached him and gave him a sense of belonging.

They don't have nationally issues. They will play for Nigeria after the U20 WC.

Talking abt the U20 WC we go see the ones wey go play for England.

I only highlighted the poor quality of pitches to show my tenacity to watch d games despite it nt being TV friendly.

Nobody is disputing the fact that the local league has produced numerous great players in the past.

If u have known me well enough u'll know i am nt d type that will rubbish the local league.

My argument spans from the look of things now, presently in 2017 and not in the 90s, 2002 or 2013. Look at the present set up of the Super Eagles do you think any player(s) from d league can offer some thing superior?

That is why i first asked if u follow the league. And went ahead to ask u to name credible home based players and asked which foreign players to drop.

U have answered that u dnt watch the NPFL. So it means u dnt know anything abt d current state of the players in the league.

"quickly cap them" as in u quickly out of the blues organise a friendly match bc u have jst identified a talented player. Na him be say na every week NFF go dey organise match be that.

Dem go organise d match finish then come begin beg the player make him come make we 'cap' am na abi?

TheGoodJoe:
The way we play when Aluko is in the ten role is enchanting. I wish to see it again. Sad he did not get this chance but I hope he gets it soon.

Kakamorufu:
mbappé mum is Algerian

Icon4s:
Yes!

That has always been my fantasy forwards line.

................Iheanacho

Etebo...... Iwobi..... Moses.

I see a midfield combo of Onazi and Ndidi.

This team can only get stronger. No distractions with all those home based talks pls

@bolded is still what I can't fathom but I no agree make we dash home based quota ooo.

We can invite the very good ones but not at the detriment of the better ones in Europe.

Kog45:
I'm not talking about quota for home based but if we can find some of them that merit it,they should be called to camp to slug it out with their foreign counterparts.

But i was made to believe by icon4 that NPLF player presently are not good for Eagles which made me sad coz we cannot be going to Europe and be inviting players playing in Bosnia,Cyprus or third division just coz they are foreign based.

When 'Isaac' makes Liverpool's bench then let us debate.

Which Musa? The one in slovakia abi na where? Abeg, make we talk better thing. Simon can't just bench Ademoola because he(Lookman) offers more than him.

I saw Simon, Kalu and Rabiu yesterday. I will give my verdict on them later.

Kelechi is never better than Solanke. Kelechi might not make Chelsea's bench.

Osimhen na baby to Abraham who just scored this evening.

Etebor is ahead of Ovie for sure but em go still gi-em run for him money.

Iwobi is England based.
