Who else is worried about the dearth of young quality Centre backs coming through the ranks, with Balogun aged, Omeruo and Ekong in their mid twenties? Did u know the last time our youth system produced a Centre back that made it to the Super Eagles was in 2009, Omeruo? Of all the quality players paraded by both Manu in 2013 and Amunike in 2015, not even a single Centre back still has his mojo intact, they have all faded away, Bello, Abubakar, Zakari et al.

Well, in recent times, we've hardly have our youth teams produce defenders that are quality enough for the senior team.

We may have no choice than to look for the FBs, except we think the NPFL defenders are good enough.

I have raised this issue before.

Not only Centre backs but even Full backs. The last LFB that rose through our youth system were Echiejile and Kingsley Madu. Stanley Amuzie was from U23. But where are Madu and Amuzie today?

At RFB, Musa Mohammed was given that position on a platter of Gold but he was found inadequate. Now asides Musa Mohammed who was the last Right Back from our Youths system? My mind can go as far back as Adefemi of the 2005 U20. It was lack of quality RB options that made Keshi convert Ambrose to a RB.

Dele Adeleye, Onyekachi Apam and Efe Ambrose were fine CBs that Siasia's 2005 U20 produced. Kenneth Omeruo (U17 & U20), Kingsley Madu and Wilfred Ndidi were defenders under John Obu's U20. And of course Ndidi was also a CB under Manu. But he now plays as a DM.

Largely Manu and Amuneke's defenders have not progressed well. Some of them u don't even hear of them again. Not even in the NPFL or NNL.

The onions now lie on Paul Aigbogun and the U23 coach to raise capable defenders (especially CBs) to immediately push for places in the Super Eagles. While we wait and see how Manu's U17 team will turn out. Else we are in for hard times in the defense.


Honestly it is alarming. That was why I was all out for the German guys back then. I can still remember ur words, "guy no worry, even if they don't come, it is no biggie, nature has a way of taking care of things" that made me pretend I wasnt worried all this while. Av bn waiting for that nature, ever since oo.

How I so envisaged a partnership of Akanji and Awaziem in the heart of Eagles defense, with the German guys(Toru and Uduokhai) looking in from the bench.

Kingsley Madu is one guy I had high hopes on after watching him under Obuh, beats me how he turned out a total fiasco

Yes nature does have a way of sorting things out just like it has been doing. I just know a couple of players will spring up. Whether foreign born or home groomed/home based.

We can only worry and be hopeful. But it is left to the technical committee to work out a way of replenishing that defense.

Generally, we have not really had problems transferring to North Africa. We struggle to send our players to decent European leagues.

Hungary is not a force in female football. Besides, Salami is getting to the age where he needs to cash out.

Iwobi to barca is unlikely but it doesn't sound like a bad idea to me. I was watching Samu highlights and youtube and someone in the comments sugested nigerian players make the move the Laliga because it fits our style of play.


I don't think most Nigerian player style of play fit LA liga, it just depends on the kind of team they play under which they still have to try to bring in their potential no matter what.

For instance, Nacho got potential both he got to make sure things work out. That why whenever I see our fellow colleagues here argue about his matter I just jump and pass. No one hate him here but he just has to justify the money that was placed on him.


Back to Iwobi (Imaginary) cool
I don't think it will be impossible, let watch out and see.
In a team with Messi,OMG tongue.
Iwobi pass can break any defence all he need his a quick player (I.e Messi) that knows how to beat offside trap no matter the high line in a defence cheesy cheesy

Chuks Aneke bossing league 2. This guy was a big talent when he was an Arsenal youth. I hope to see him in a bigger league.

Chuks Aneke is way better than the league he is playing in.

Wenger once called him the new Yaya Toure. Didn't get much opportunity if any at Arsenal.

Two seasons ago got injured in Belguim and was out the game for two years. As a result there was great skepticism if he could cut it when he comes back, and to what extent he was injury prone.

His first season back in England and he was the outstanding player in both league one and his club MK Dons. Scoring 10 goals and 10 assists, if I'm right. He was wanted by a plethora of Championship clubs but MK Dons blatantly refused to let him go as they need him to get back to league one. He refused to train and it got quite controversial and under pressure agreed to come back.

He is now outstanding for both club and in his league. It's a bit odd he is supposed to be a midfielder and has played both as an AM and A DM. But it looks like for MK Dons this season he has been playing as a SS.

I have watched him for quite sometimes. From when he was in Crew with Pogba"s older brother. The football was very poor and it was impossible for him to play good technical football. He was basically an enforcer for Crew in the DM position.

Can he make the jump to the EPL, yes he probably can but can he be outstanding and influential that's the big question.

In my opinion many players can come to the EPL but be largely anonymous. It's one thing to be in the EPL but it's another thing to be outstanding and make a quality impact.
