why make people spend transport to come and chop bench when suitable replacements are available?

Dem complain? Na dem pocket, make dem spend am.

tbaba1234:
There will be no replacements for injured Alex Iwobi, William Ekong and Ola Aina

Sone Aluko can not replace Iwobi ❓ Dominic Iorfa can not replace Ekong, there are several other options at RB.

Uzoho

Awaziem. Balogun. Omeruo

Ndidi. Etebo

kalu. Nacho. Oyekuru

Ighalo. Musa

Ndidi and Etebo will mop up the defence and midfield both are energetic and very fast.
Nusa and Ighalo will free up Nacho to strike from distance and to give those telling pass while both Oyek and kalu will lock up the opposing wing back giving them plenty of things to wonder about.
For me I believe this is the best system for our team.

The Highly-Rated Nigerian Teenager Chosen To Train With Arsenal First Team On Wednesday

The Highly-Rated Nigerian Teenager Chosen To Train With Arsenal First Team On Wednesday
Arsenal's Nigerian left-back, Tolaji Bola has trained with the club's first team as a break for a senior appearance beckons in no distant time.

The talented youngster was part of the first team players who went through a training session at London Colney today, with a host of absentees conspicuously missing out due to international commitments.

The likes of Petr Cech, Hector Bellerin, Shkodran Mustafi, Matteo Guendouzi, Rob Holding, Mesut Ozil and Alex Lacazette were joined in the turf by the 19-year-old defender who has long been touted to make his senior team appearance having progressed nicely through the youth ranks at the club's Hale End.

Bola has missed just one of the four games the Gunners reserve team has played in the Premier League 2 this term, laying on one of the goals in the 6-5 thriller with Manchester City on matchday 1.

Described as physical, marauding and a ball-playing defender, manager Unai Emery may hand a debut to the Nigerian in the League Cup or the Europa League.

Though he has already been capped at U-18 level by England, he remains eligible to represent any of the Nigerian teams through his parentage roots.

There are other options already in camp to play those roles. Semi Ajayi, Omeruo, Awaziem and Balogun can play centre back. Etebo, Musa, Onyekuru, Kalu can play the Iwobi role. Idowu and Omeruo can play right back.

Sone Aluko did not have a great season last season and has not done much this year either.

Doesn't Iorfa need to nationality switch?

Good game for Ighalo to get a few goals.

Yep. I wish Rohr will be bolder and start Nwakali.

Iorfa agreed, however that doesn't mean Semi Ajayi is better than him. Ajayi is in the SE because he has created network and leverage after playing U20. Otherwise he is far from a standout defender player in the Championship.

But tell me the players that had an outstanding season last year. Aluko took the money when he moved to Reading albeit a big chunk of money after being hailed as the best midfielder in the championship.

Otherwise right now he would be in the EPL with Fulham who did not want him to go.

Sone Aluko is not a one season player he has been consistently giving top class performances both in the EPL with Hull and in the championship.

The best defender Liam More in the Championship plays for Reading, who refused to sell him to Brighton. In this regard Aluko has been one of the bright sparks for Reading also.

His team Reading didn't have a great season doesn't mean Aluko was poor and or unimpressive last season.

wait ooooo, oga you are you insinuating that ajayi gave egunje to some nff officials or rohr for him to get a call up? nawa for you oooooo!

Ajayi has actually been doing very well.

In fact, we talked about him on this page before he was invited. He merited his invite.

Aluko has not shown much recently to bring attention to himself. Aluko last season was average at best.

If Aluko is invited today, "he has also given egunje".

There are some people that will not just let go and always complain and point accusation fingers.

Liam Moore the best championship defender in what season?

He was not even in the championship team of the season,but i think he is a good player,you are just trying to promote him because he is playing in the same club with sone aluko.

He is not even better than 33 year old sol bamba

As far as i am concerned and the Championship is concerned,the best defender there last season Was Sol Bamba of Cardiff and Wily Bolly of wolves

Please correct me and tell me something i dont know if i am wrong.

charlesemeka85:

It seems that you did not understand the proposition I made, firstly i am not implying or suggesting impropriety of any sort.

However, what i have said continuously there is a trend in the NFF of giving call up to the SE based on past youth glories and or exploits with the U17 ,U20, etc But those call ups are not related to current continuous outstanding performances in senior processional football.

It seems therefore leverage is created by network (familiarity, personal relationship ) not merit add to that if you are in the system then you know what is required and or who has to be appeased, convinced or if you like settled. That doesn't mean he bribed his way at all but at the same time that is not to say it is impossible, although seemingly improbable.

With regard to Ajayi, I remember him when he left Charlton as a youth player to Arsenal, didn't cut it at Arsenal and has been unimpressive at Cardiff, AFC , Crew until he went to to Rotherham. Ajayi has played 30 games in the Championship, he has played predominantly in league 1. In comparison Dominic Iorfa has played near 120 games in the Championship 84 games for Wolves has won multiple awards has been invited to train with England first team. Yet after making a commitment to the SE last summer, he has not been called. He is also two years younger and has achieved way more, it simply doesnt add up as fair play.

There has been a lot of misinformation and misguided media reports Dominic never snubbed the SE was very clear from day one, what his position and intention was.

Baba is saying Iorfa needs to switch nationality first before he can be called up. Aluko time will come, he should just keep doing good. Also he needs to move up to EPL, he has stayed for too long in the championship. I am not doubting his talent cos when he played for the SE he was outstanding

What great thing did Nwakali do last season and this season to get a look?

I know Semi Ajayi and Jamiu Collins at least helped their various clubs to gain promotion from division 3(league 1 and Bundesliga 3) to championship and Bundesliga 2, and I can still understand though I am still curious to know why they were invited in the first place. But what did Kelechi Nwakali do this season and last season? Nothing yet he was called.

Then why raise the bar for other players?

Back to Sone Aluko, when he had great season two seasons ago with 9 goals and 13 assists and was even nominated for an award was he given a look?

Last season, he scored 2 goals and had 5 assists yet you claim he did nothing.

The point is, Sone Aluko has been stylishly shut out of the national team. EOD

Beside Sone, we have Ajagun and Eze who can play comfortably in Alex Iwobi's role though Sone Aluko is better than these peeps.

In regards to Iorfa, I think there is personal vendetta against the lad hence the snub.

You can make all the noise u want, but Dominic iorfa will never be called up to the SE.. He has gone d way of Nedum Onuoha.. We offered him the chance long age but he and his dad threw it to our face. told us to wait till he clocked 23 bla bla whereas they were secretly eying England call up.
If he is as good as u say, let him keep playing in the championship and maybe the queen will notice him...

Rohr met with him last year, prior to that meeting commitment had been made to the NFF.

What has happened since then has been administrative Maradona with the NFF.

This forum is one were the less informed can be informed and the those without any knowledge can be made to be knowledgeable.


Did you personally make the offer so you therefore know the substance and agreements within the offer


When you are an England U21 international who has been invited to the senior national team as and up and coming top prospect, you dont just jump ship without any sense of decorum. Add to that then jeopardise your club career in the process.

You have to be wise and diplomatic as well as strategic and not plain stupid. His Father very wisely did not make a public commitment to the SE but with great dignity and integrity said when he is 23 he will make the decision but with unofficial gestures to say he Demonic is leaning towards the SE.

When Dominic was 21 and had signed a long term contract with Wolves he then made an official commitment to the SE.

Compare Dominic's honourable approach with open sincerity to the approach of Akpoguma, Udokhai and Torunarigha who expressed near total disinterest with condescending jibes. However, I noticed we kept trying to get them to play for the SE,is that not hypocrital double standard.

I personally believe there is something untoward going on there, what exactly i do not know, but too many things do not add up.

Meanwhile not everything you read in the papers you should believe.

Finally there is absolutely no comparison with Nedum and Dominic totally different circumstances and responses.

forgiveness:
Aigbogun should please invite these FB players into his U20 team. They are still eligible to play for Nigeria U20 team.


1, Mujaid Sadick is 18years old and has played as a Center Back and Right Back for Deportivo Dr la Corina in the La Liga.

2. Deji Beyreuther will be 19 years old tomorrow. He is predominantly a LB but can also play as a LM and LW. Traded is mark in the Bundesliga 4th division with Eintrantc Frankfurt U19 last season though made the first team bench on two occasions. This season, he has been promoted to the first team.


3. Keanan Bennetts played 28 games for Tottenham Hotspur U23 in the Premier league 2 last season. His 8 goals with 5 assists from his Left Midfield/Left wing/Right wing positions (though played more as a LB) cought the attention of Borussia Monchenglabach to buy him off from Tottenham. He is currently in their first team and could get some game time anytime soon in the Bundesliga. He is just 19 years old.


4. Midhat Bajric is 17 years old Center Back with Hoffenheim U19 in the Bundesliga 4 division. He already garnered experience playing in said division last season.

5. Marvin Olawale Akinlabi Park is an attacking midfielder playing for Real Madrid Juvenile A team. He is just 18 years old.

That list is the tip of the Iceberg, there is no EPL Academy that does not have Nigerian origin players in it , you are talking in terms of teenagers at least 300 player.

I have noticed the Bundesliga is now really positively trying to attract and recruit Black African boys so there are a lot more of them.

Yes,they are recruiting them...though blacks have always been there but in small numbers.. I think the experience of LEIPZIG in the last two years in sinking in them...it was amazing watching them....dtermined football...swift movement...blistering breaks...delirious goals....complete the rest...

Ebuehi Not Ruling Out Return To Action This Season After Operation Carried Out By Knee Guru
Super Eagles defender Tyronne Ebuehi has not ruled out a return to action before the end of the 2018-2019 campaign after undergoing successful surgery, allnigeriasoccer.com reports.

The right back suffered a ruptured anterior cruciate ligament of the left knee in pre-season and is expected to spend 6-9 months on the sidelines after undergoing successful surgery just over two weeks ago in Augsburg.

The operation was carried out by knee guru Ulrich Boenisch who treated Serbia international Ljubomir Fejsa in 2014.

An orthopedist of the Hessing Park Clinic in Augsburg, Boenisch was the club doctor of FC Basel and local team FC Augsburg for fifteen years.

Ebeuhi's bonafide representative has informed this website that it's impossible to give an exact date as his expected date of recovery but he is unlikely to play for the Nigerian National Team this season.

The 22-year-old became cap-tied to Nigeria after making his competitive debut off the bench in the Super Eagles 2-0 win over Iceland at this summer's World Cup in Russia.

I know Bobby Adekanye very well because I followed him when he was scoring goals for fun for Ajax youth at the age of 10. I even watched a YouTube of him then dribbling all his mates to score goals from half center of the field which dubbed him Messi. That prompted Barcelonia to offer his parents free accommodation and job in Spain in order to get him into their team because he was not of age and FIFA doesn't permit such transfer of U18 players to other countries except you reside in that obscure particular country.


At Barcelona, he was Messi favourite player and that was why he gave him some personal training. Though Ajax filled a report against Barcelona which they won and that was one of the reasons Barcelona was banned from buying a player for a season.

He was repatriated back to Holland where he joined PSV on loan but Liverpool took advantage of the situation and got him on free transfer after been promised to play for the first team in the future.

All along, he openly pledge to play for Nigeria U17 but on two occasions he was rejected and that was why he turned out to play for Holland U17 team which eventually makes him ineligible to play for any of our age grade teams save the national team, that was why I didn't mention him.

In regards to players in EPL's academy, you can please give names of those who are exceptionally good and eligible to play for Nigeria age grade teams. No wahala.
