Humility017:
when last did he played in those leagues?

it is the same as saying that....yakubu should be recalled because he did wonders in the epl....

Martins of 3 4 5 6 years ago is different from martins of now....

safarigirl:
how many times do I have to tell you that National team and Club performance are not the same.

They are proven in the GwG, that is what matters to me. I am not in you people's club football gang, I couldn't be less interested in what is going on in their clubs.

Kayode is not one of the forwards on my list BTW, he is still on trial for National Team, so he and Obagoal are not very different as far as I am concerned

TheGoodJoe:
Iheanacho's National team stats prove that his stats in the EPL is no fluke. Considering he had limited time at City and the EPL is no walk in the park.

TheGoodJoe:

Mascherano, despite his quality was on the bench at West Ham. Lukaku, Salah and Kevin De Bruyne were on the bench at Chelsea despite their quality. You can be good and still be on the bench in a club. Damari Gray went on a marathon on the bench at Leicester despite his quality.

Given that our current keepers are really not that good. We need to look for options. No one is saying Okoye should be first choice or that he should even make the WC team. He could just be one for the future.

Youth GKs abroad are often better grounded in the fundamentals of Goalkeeping than many experienced NPFL keepers.

Nigerian keepers often have to go abroad to reach their potential. Enyeama struggled a lot with crosses in his early years with Nigeria.

My brother, forget stereotype.
Every player have their weakness, Europe or no Europe. Enyeama is hardly an imposing figure, it's academic he will struggle in the early stages of his development with crosses. Even at his finest, he still struggled with crosses. Its just a matter of his height disadvantage.

Ospina is about same height as Enyeama, still he struggles with crosses till date.

At the highest level, the job description of a goalkeeper goes beyond claiming crosses and making saves. At the world stage, you talk about calmness, leadership and organisation from the back. This starts from the goalkeeper.

Do you really think some 18yr old playing in German Regional West can bring calm, organisation and leadership playing at the world stage?

tbaba1234:
New boy, Maduka Okoye with Victor Agali... I guess Agali is doing his job of looking for players to fill weak positions.

The boy is taller than Agali.

Mickael2:
there are things you are missing. These guys had coaches who were different from the coaches that recruited them so it is highly possible that the new coach does not like them, that I agree. Iheanacho was bought by Shakespeare and yet he didnt play him, you think a coach just tosses 25mil into the river?

Mickael2:
how many high-pressure games has Iheanacho scored in or played well? SA blank, Algeria twice blank, Cameroon return leg blank. It's not as if the stats define everything

“I’m no innovator,” Guardiola has said. “I’M AN IDEAS THIEF.” It’s true the influence of Cruyff’s Barcelona and Louis van Gaal’s Ajax are undeniable (Pep himself wrote: “They were capable of perfection – they gave football lessons to everyone”), but few have the stones to employ such radical concepts in huge games.

TheGoodJoe:
I do not get you. Onyekuru is not learning top striker positioning from the coach because the coach does not want to play him there. So how will you see the development?

Mickael2:
how are they proven in the GwG?

Iheanacho against Algeria twice, blank all through. Which other competitive game did he play and score? Yes Cameroon when the game was done, if that is what 'proving yourself' means then Bright Dike should still be playing for us

safarigirl:
people, please, ignore this troll henceforth

Icon79:
And by the way, I think Argentina will win the world cup. They remind me of of Brazil 2002 - they struggled with qualification, but have three amazing attacking players; same with this Argie team (Messi, Aguero, Di Maria). They were supposed to win it in 2014 but were unlucky coupled with the fact that they had a horrible coach in Tata plus Di Maria always getting injured in crucial games.

But now, everything seems to be coming together: Messi is still at his best, Sampoli is a decent coach so watch out for the Argies. Also I think Messi will trump Ronaldo's achievement with Portugal by winning the big one
