Really disappointed at the way people are speaking about Vic Moses to be honest. They are even comparing him to Kalu. Imagine!!! When did Kalu even join SE sef. We are so quick to forget people who represented us. We don't give honour to whom it is due. Ever wondered why he retired? Why are we like this? Same way we dissed Nacho, and the Chukwueze that is receiving praises now will be sacrificed on the slaughter table soon once he messes up. Vic Moses has his bad side but I believe he can add to the team. Someone even said he would be choosing matches. Least we forget, okocha was once choosing matches. No need to disrespect our former heroes. The newbies are also watching.
The comparison is VM of 2012/2013..... Hope you get the point

I noticed a player wearing number 20 at the CB for Readings FC. He is doing very.

He is very good at distributing balls either with accurate long or short pass.

Tiago Ilorin is his name.

Will be a very good addition to the team.

Ehen this was my position many pages back.

Good one Pinnick!
charlesemeka85:
Nigeria Football Federation President Amaju Pinnick believes he can still convince Victor Moses to rescind his decision to quit the Super Eagles and is set to travel to England for talks with the Chelsea winger.

In August 2018, Moses decided to call time on his international career in order to focus fully on his Chelsea career and his young family as well as to allow the next generation of Super Eagle stars the opportunity to step up and to flourish.

''With all due respect to Nigerians, I am talking to Victor Moses because I believe he's somebody that has paid his dues,'' Pinnick told Channels Television.

''He shouldn't just leave Nigeria unceremoniously and I told him that. I talk to him every day. I make him understand the reason, he's very, very eager.

''Even if he says I am begging him, I don't mind. It's not as if there are no players there but we should encourage our players. The others when they say they are retiring, maybe it is out of ego.''

If Moses does not make a U-turn, Pinnick has revealed that he plans to set up a ceremonial game for the 2013 Africa Cup of Nations star.

''He has paid his dues. I recall the Nations Cup we won, the game we played against Ethiopia, ten minutes to the end of the game, he scored two penalties and those penalties catapulted us to the quarterfinals.

''I will be meeting with him in a fortnight and his agent. Even if he wants to go, there must be a ceremony for him to go and that's the truth.

''Look at what they did to Wayne Rooney, they brought him back, gave him the captaincy. We must celebrate them at every point in time,'' concluded Pinnick.

Moses was among five Nigerian players named to the 2013 Africa Cup of Nations Team of the Tournament, the others being Vincent Enyeama, Efe Ambrose, John Obi Mikel and Emmanuel Emenike.

I also would appreciate you to be less cunning.

Name names.

Who and who is better than him currently?
Cunning?? i answered the question

Right now, i think Samu and Iwobi are better. Kalu is also possibly better. Moses is not even playing games.

No need for an epistle, i already read your post above.

This is no disrespect to Moses achievements for Nigeria. He was an important player for us.

InSanety:
that is why o advised jejely

The women who contribute here do it sparingly.

Have you seen drlikita since she posted about CAF?


If a woman wants to contribute here, she must do so small small and not get all into it the way the guys do. You can deceive yourself and the other people here, but any woman that wants to contribute here must maintain the lane that the men have told her to maintain.


There is no lane for the guys here, Na only women get lane and their lane na to talk small small, else, they send them back to the kitchen.

Nothing silly about the advice, when people dey do bad thing, dem no dey see am, na outside people go tell them wetin dey sup. After all, Adolf Hitler did not think he was doing any bad thing by killing off jews.

Do we absolutely need Moses now with the prospects coming up?

I don't believe so.

Moses can definitely contribute but we do not even know his condition right now.

Perhaps, when Moses stabilizes and starts playing again
Re: "The Super Eagles Thread: The Road To AFCON 2027, 2028 And 2030 World Cup by Joebie: 5:18pm On Jan 05, 2019
So doesn’t he deserve a ceremonial game?

TheGoodJoe:
Is this Pinnick ever tired of begging? All Victor Moses retire in piece. We have loads of youngsters that need that space.

He did make it at Chelsea.

Joined a few lower academies, became unattached before passing his leicester trial.

I THINK his initial contract may have been in the form of a scholarship deal.

ChrisKels:
And he had those stints without a work permit? He has no work permit yet the English clubs never considered sending him out on loan like Arsenal did with Nwakali, Liverpool with Awoniyi, ManCity with Chidi Nwakali, Yaw Yeboah etc?

I don't think we need Moses again o because he won't want to sit on our bench though he has built a shelter on that same spot at Chelsea. He was an important player for us no doubt, but change is constant. I won't bother coming back if I were to be in his shoes.
Re: "The Super Eagles Thread: The Road To AFCON 2027, 2028 And 2030 World Cup by Joebie: 5:25pm On Jan 05, 2019

Vicmo's gimmicks as it concerns the eagles is well documented. His proclivity to select games to play for Nigeria especially during qualifiers away from home, is no news. To me, musa deserves more eulogies

Are they present and currently better than VM,huh
You have always berated the NFF of their handling of VM's matter, why didn't you say nothing about Emenike's premature retirement?

Listen, VM, along the way lost his passion to turn up for the National Team, I don't blame him for that, I've been in a situation where things that interests me before now, suddenly fails to make sense to me these days.

You can't force him back, his mind is no longer with the team, he should move on already.

On moses issue...his coming back is a plus,no.doubt except if we want to b sentimental abt it.however,like you all knw, I hate it when we beg a player,so I will advocate for his willingness to return to d team wout any iota of begging involved. If he wants to come,fine
But begging him,its a bad idea cool

I see no reason to reinvite Vicmo.

The guy has grown bigger than the SE. The little success he has had has entered his head. In the match against Argentina he reportedly blatantly refused to play as a wingback. The NFF president himself had to go to the dressing room to beg Vicmo before he grudgingly accepted. And we could see how halfhearted his display was that day. No matter how good a player is, he is no use if he feels he is bigger than his coach and team mates.

The Moses of 2013 with hunger and passion in his eyes is not the Moses of 2019. Let's make no mistakes. Yes he has paid his bills in the SE but if an apprentice becomes too big to listen to his oga's instructions, he is sent home empty handed and in shame no matter how long or how well he had previously served. "Okro anaghi akari onye kuru ya"!.

WE OWE VICMO NOTHING!
Since we will be facing African teams, we still need him.

He has always performed well as a winger against African oppositions, but for the WC or against European opposition, he is better as a wing-back.

In 2014 World Cup he was poor against Iran, held the ball too much instead of passing.Babatunde later took his place in the team.In 2018 world cup he was poor against Croatia.

He needs to realise he is very good as a wing-back but poor as a winger.

No sir. Moses was not a rookie when he played the Afcon with us.
Infact he was over-ripe and well established.

He was 23, and had previously played 6 games for us totalling 2 goals and 1 assist. He debuted in Feb 2012, the Adcon was in 2013.

This is asides his good club record at that time.

Now who are is present replacements?

Chukwueze? Kalu? Simon? Onyekuru?

All rookies (except Simon who is presently not performing well anyways)

In 2013, we were at the brink of crashing out of the group stage.
It was our last game against resolute Ethiopia. The game had approached the final minutes, and Ethiopia held strong. We needed a win to secure us qualification.

In the dying minutes, It was Moses' experience that won us 2 penalties within around 5 minutes.

Moses saved us and as a result won us the cup.

Bring him back because of his experience. He hasn't run out of steam. We need him and Mikel for the ANC.

It is the coaches decision to start who he wishes but for some games the inexperience of the rookies will disappoint.
Bros u are even going far just a year ago dis guy was d reason we defeated both Algeria and Cameroon I still don't understand the hating on dis guy by some people

On Moses, this is why I’m in support of Pinnick 100%. Moses have represented us well and he shouldn’t leave unceremoniously. Should there be any issue besides the reasons he gave for his resignation it has to be ironed out. It’s not a matter of “since we don’t need him now he can go to hell”. You have to genuinely show interest in your players. Even if Moses rescinds his decision it’s not like he would walk straight into the first team. I’m sure he will have a tough fight in Kalu and the magical Chukwueze. That said, if he insists he is done with SE, he deserves a ceremonial match. Finito.
