experience is overrated

Yobo and his hundred game experience helped us concede an own goal to France

Yakubu and his own experience managed to miss open net.

Let us not even discuss the highly experienced Akpeyi and his gaffe

We have enough experienced players an we are even looking to drop experience in the form of Echiejile, so please, you need to argue with something else.

Let Martins get the invite, but if he fails to perform, I go laugh una tire. Y'all better pray he pulls an Idowu


Anyway, March is a long time away, Martins may not even be available by then grin
I swear, anything other than an IDOWO magic will not be accepted.

They sold Nacho for 25m because he was moving to a English club. I'm sure he'd have gone for a bit less if he moved abroad. Let's not forget Nacho himself didn't want to leave England because he wants to attain british citizenship.

You are partially right about Musa. The players turned on Ranieri because he changed formation to try and accommodate Musa. He was also being played ahead of Demerai Gray. Musa didn't exactly take the chances he was presented with sha...
I don't Nacho ever said with his mouth that he was waiting for a passport, I believe a reporter just made a guess.
Leicester City sucked especially at the back and Musa could not have been blamed for that. He might have been underwhelming but so was Jamie Vardy and anybody not named Ndidi.

I think those reports were based on sources from his camp.
Musa wasn't helped by Gray having bright cameos whenever he came on. I thought Musa and Vardy would've made a good striking partnership but oh well...let him move to Hull and play under his old coach at CSKA

Nice one, I hope he gets involved with the U-20 qualifiers.

Since Jonathan Ligali has refused to look our way.
Ligali is not a Nigerian but from Yoruba part of Benin Republic though a French born.

The call for Martins has been heard before. The last time under Keshi, he failed terribly to meet up to expectation when finally invited.

Happy the coach is looking at other GK options, would like to see what Okoye can do.
Not really in support of Martin's recall buti disagreed with you using his performance under Keshi as a point to deny him invitation now.

Did you remember Joel Obi we are clamouring for was awful when Keshi gave him the opportunity prior to 2014 WC,meaning he should be denied the opportunity again based on his performance under Keshi.

On Maduka Okoye,truly we are searching for option in GK but not a keeper keeping for Fortuna Dusseldorf team B.I don't see him as our WC options unless is extremely talented.

If Okoye is good for Eagles why is Deji Brethurer of Franfurt not good for Eagles cos it was on this thread some are saying he is too young but now Okoye is good for Eagles.

My kicking against Martins and the likes was just based on the unity of the team,i don't want any player that would derail the unity of the team.

If Enyeama doesn't get a club in January, there is no way we can take him to the World Cup

Same applies to Uncle Free Agent Ezenwa.....

I really think Rohr should be looking for at least two goalies cuz our supply is looking thin
Uncle Ezenwa has signed for Eyimmba just yesterday

why isn't anyone calling up Dessers as well?

I'm starting to believe that the best way to make it into this team is to not declare for Nigeria.

Yes,apart from Dessers we have Kenneth Otigba who is ready to play for Nigeria but no call,also Deji declared his readiness but we are pursuing average Kevin Akpoguma who is not ready.

World Cup Draw : Rising European Powerhouse Belgium Want To Avoid Nigeria


Published: December 01, 2017
Ahead of the 2018 World Cup draw in the Russian capital, some former members of the Belgian national team and coaches want to avoid facing Nigeria in the group stage.


The Belgium squad boasts some of the biggest stars in the English Premier League : Chelsea trio Thibaut Courtois, Eden Hazard and Michy Batshuayi, Manchester United's Marouane Fellaini and Romelu Lukaku and Liverpool's Simon Mignolet.
''I’m going to take Iran out of pot three, I choose Panama from pot 4. Serbia, Nigeria, Australia, ... many of their players are already playing abroad, so let us go for Panama, all I know about that is that there is a way, '' Aimé Anthuenis, who coached Belgium 2002-2005, told hln

Humility017:
you're talking wit two sides of your mouth...
only a blind man will say nacho has not defended the colors of the SE in a good light....
a player that have scored over 7 goals in 14 matches...is a brainer...
how many did Martins scored in his 14 match appearance for the super eagles...

on the colors of the super eagles.....nacho is quite ahead of martins so far so good....even ideye and emenike...
you may want to check Martins stats again.

You may also want to check the meaning of 'talking with two sides of your mouth' so you won't use it in a wrong situation next time.

Now get this fact slowly, when it comes to goals per game ratio Martins wasn't bad, after 40+ games he still had a goal every 3games. I cannot dig up his goals after 14games but I am sure he had atleast 4-6 goals by then. Martins is not some demigod, but saying that because he scores in the Chinese league that Iheanacho and Kayode will come there and become the highest goalscorer is a pure lie. Oscar is there, Hulk too and a lot of other guys but why arent they highest goalscorers? You think the league is like that? Let me ask you a question, so because no team from the Italian league has won the UCL(appeared in the club world cup that is) that means the Serie A is whack? I don't understand

agaonst Zambia, i suppose it was your Obagoal that scored the second goal, abi?

How many goals does Martins have for us in how many games? So, we should drop a prolific Kelechi who has scored against both mediocre and top opposition, in both competitive and friendly games, both from inside the box, outside the box, spot kicks and in open play and invite Martins and his gra gra football, abi?

Kelechi that breathed life into the team with a superb free kick when it looked like Argentina would roast us? And need I mention his assists as well? Minus his 8 goals in 14 games, when you include Kelechi's ASSISTS, you will find he has been involved in our goals almost as much as Mikel has, even with less playing time. How many assists does Martins have? Or you think it is ghosts that will create chances?


There is a reason why you people are called armchair analysts.
Nigerians...smh. Get a new toy and tag the old toy 'junk'. So Martins has never scored from outside the box? So he hasn't scored headers? This alone shows that it is pure bias that is fueling your motive. By the way nobody said 'drop Iheanacho for Martins', no, we said invite Martins let him come and show what he can do. Why are you so scared of that? Or deep within you you know he can displace your favourite player?

TheGoodJoe:
Iheanacho had an injury when he arrived Leicester City. Keep in mind that Iheanacho was not meant as a quick fix. He is still a young player and will need time to blend in.

You just see 25 mil and scream must start. News flash, Vardy, Okazaki and Mahrez are team legends. They will not just dump them because the club splashed 25 million on a player.

My criticism of Shakespeare was not just playing time but his system was negatively affecting the forward players including Albrighton, Slimani, Vardy, Mahrez etc.
how is Okazaki a club legend? Last I checked at the start of their title winning season Ulloa was actually the starter and he displaced him, there is no way Okazaki is a club legend and quite frankly if you can't displace Okazaki then I am not sure we should be screaming your name.

Now you kept on giving unrelated instances, in Nacho's case even the coach who bought him still kept him on the bench and even preferred Slimani to him. I am not saying Iheanacho is not a good player but the sooner we understand that Iheanacho is not going to be the first Nigerian to play for Real Madrid the better for us, then we can all come to agree that he is not the next best thing after slice bread

I am not saying, it should be used against him. I am saying we have been through this before. Hype over martins then he fails to deliver when invited.

WHAT IF?
1. What if Nigeria is drawn with Russia and play the opening match? Home support for Russia will be massive.
2. What if Nigeria is drawn with Brazil? The Samba boys will try to dance around our defense
3. What if Nigeria is drawn with Argentina? Abeg we don see them finish
4. What if Nigeria is drawn with Poland or Belgium? Dem too dey fear us wella
5. What if Nigeria is drawn with England or Portugal? Forget joor. These teams are over hyped, we go finish them if we get our game plan right
6. What if Nigeria is drawn with Germany or Spain? My brother, at this junction, I bet to sign out because cold dey catch me now

There won't be much changes to this present team, believe that. As I cab see us pushing a lot of players for the qualifiers.

This same team, would be thesame team playing the Afcon Qualifiers. Except maybe for injuries and perhaps drastic loss of form.

And he's still the captain of the homebased eagles..

I'm still lost at what gives. They keep bringing up scrap GKs from the local league, making those looking from the outside think nothing good can ever come out from the league.
