I do not buy into the absolute theory that nothing good can come out of certain set ups.
If someone with good judgement spots a good talent in non league, the very least we could do is xray him ourselves and not just dismiss him with the wave of a hand

tbaba1234:


Obafemi is already playing games in the EPL. He is not among the 100s in academies. He has made the step up to the first team

tbaba1234:


That is not what is being said.

He needs to step up and prove it. Ofcourse, there are talents in lower leagues but the test of how good they are is when they step up.

Danielnino00:
Meanwhile Michael Uchebo (remember him ) is on the verge of joining Enugu Rangers according to reports...

tbaba1234:


Aneke needs to prove himself on a higher level. You can not invite him based on his league 2 performance, it does not tell us how good he is.

PietroRick:
so you are okay with losing a potential diamond in the rough, because the opportunity to step up missed him..
You may be, and it's fine but I don't buy it.

Danielnino00:
As at the time this photo was taken, Samuel Kalu is the only player yet to arrive...

Chucks Aneke isn't the first and neither will he b the last English player of Nigerian origin to perform well in the English lower division and its academy...we have had them plenty in the past...but how many of them lived up to their potentials? The quality of football in the league two is far too low to use as a basis for qualification to the SE..maybe for the age grade teams....

Talent doesn't hide.. If he is good enough,in a few years,he will be playing at a better team..and if that happens and we lost him,no problem...heaven won't fall..

But for now,its a no! we have better players out there . Chuks can try out for the age grade teams...

Joebie:
I think Moses should get that Rooney treatment. He needs to bow out in a more ceremonial way. How about playing his last game for Nigeria against Seychelles after we have sealed qualification. Then it would be Moses&TeamNigeriaUK VS Seychelles? Of course I don’t expect most of you to agree

Or better yet, finish where he started — Another AFCON.

komekn:


English football is intrinsically corrupt.

It's not as easy the best player club administrators, recruitment are looking mostly for the best DEAL AND not necessarily the best player.

The stories I could tell.

That's why the FA Cup is such an eye opener, you see non league clubs beating league clubs.

krattoss:
thats if there is still no bad bloods between him and the big goons at the glass house.

Cos that Moses retirement isn't something that came out ordinarily..

TheGoodJoe:


I think we should treat every game with seriousness and use spare games to try out players knocking at the door of the Super Eagles and those in the squad who have not gotten a good run of games. It could use to test new tactics of the current team. Better than wasting it on players who will not contribute to the near future of the Super Eagles.

Joebie:
Rohr says he is still open to Moses returning.
Abi Rohr no get enough control? I forget, our boys dey train for Asaba now — Delta politicians effect.

komekn:


Sorry he waa outstanding in league one infact from AM and SS he had over 10 goals and 10 assists. He waa the stand out numerous one player in league one. Yet his club got relegated that not withstanding multiple clubs wanted to sign him.

Wanted by multiple clubs in the Championship But MK Dons refused to sell.

Don't forget Ademola Lookman, Gomez, Dele Alli, etc were outstanding in lower league and went straight to the EPL.

So that proposition doesn't hold as proven.

Is he outstanding is he the top player in his league, Resounding YES.

Like I always say better a Lion from a lower league than a mouse from the EPL.

PietroRick:
things are not always black and white in football, everyone should know that.
Nobody is saying invite him, make him the main stay and try to force him to deliver.
It will hurt no one to take a closer look to see if there is anything there or even take a small gamble, that can be quickly ended if it doesn't work out

krattoss:
I think Rohr as an employee shouldn't be calling the shots to his bosses on where matches are to be played.

tbaba1234:


Chuks Aneke is no stranger to people here. He played in Belgium and did not exactly light the place up.

Joebie:
Right, but his employers should see reasons. Good bosses listen to reason. It’s not a power struggle.

Joebie:
My bro a quality friendly is a far better test than a “competitive” HOME game against SEYCHELLES.

krattoss:
everyone has reasons. The bosses also has their own reasons too.. At the end of the day, they call the shots

krattoss:
I think Rohr as an employee shouldn't be calling the shots to his bosses on where matches are to be played.

Joebie:
Good bosses state their reasons as well. Again, it’s not a power struggle.

charlesemeka85:

No doubt Dat aneke is a decent player and have been consistent in league 2 for the past 2 seasons but that is not enough 4 him to get an invite. At the age of 24 he should force a move at least to a championship team to prove himself and by so doing if he performs well he will get a look in

krattoss:
only one region and one stadium shouldn't hold monopoly to the national teams matches..

That's more the reason South Africans were boycotting their teams matches. Cos every game is been taking to the FNB stadium Johannesburg.
There are other good facilities out there also.

Danielnino00:


Rohr is more concerned about the quality of the pitches we play in that's why..and he should be... we don't have enough stadiums in this country with decent pitches.. .

It's sad to see that the Abuja stadium has been abandoned like that...
