Lol.... Simy Nwankwo ooo.... Anyway, let's watch his performances this season. But he is not at the fore front of players on whose shoulders rest the future of our #9 role. He is just a far Fringe for now.

ChrisKels:
He was rather fortunate that the goals came minutes before the world cup, else he would not av bn able to scam us

They are yet to play Genk, Gent and Anderlecht.

And Iheanacho is not on your list? Funny. Onuachu nko? Hmm... Forgivessness.

You add Kayode instead of Ujah this time... at least, I can manage Kayode. But Ujah... No way for that man. Lol... Not when Giant Killer David is already on Rohr's radar sef.
Based on his comment, he said Iheanacho and Okereke should replace Ighalo and Onuachu. I agree with Iheanacho but I don't agree Okereke should be ahead of the other three options.

Besides, I have seen your list of strikers but it's funny you placed Okereke, Awoniyi and Onuachu ahead of Olanrewaju.

Well, your opinion.

Their performance this season will determine who should be on the radar. Anything short of that is favourism. Hence, Ujah still remains relevant in this discussion.

I know they are Benue and IMO respectively, but they are Kaduna made. now talking about indigenous players, I doubt the core north has gone better than sani kaita, who was bang average in his prime.

After two seasons of anonymous football by KC hr does not deserve a call.up.

That would be a slap in the face of players who are showing good form and improving like Awoniyi, Okereke, and others.

Ighalo has not completely turned his back on the SE and in that regard there is nobody currently better than him. And certainly not KC.

I didn't even remember Kayode to be honest. Lol

But I will consider Kayode at Shahktar over an Ujah who is in the bundesliga. Why? Quality ratings. I have watched Ujah enough to know he just can not cut it for us.

Kayode still have time. He is just 26 or 27.

But my unbiased list of SE strikers for the long run in this new era based on their high potentials, previous/recent showings, levels of competitions, exposure and overall prospects going forward is as follows:

- Kelechi Iheanacho (I see him contributing to this new era as both a #9 and an SS).

- Victor Osimhen (My #1 pick for the #9 role)

- Ebere Paul Onuachu

- Taiwo Awoniyi

- David Okereke

- Kayode Olanrewaju

- Stephen Odey

Anthony Ujah... Ain't considering this guy one bit. There is even a far younger Suleiman Abdullahi at Union Berlin. For now, he is on my probables. But nothing for Ujah. I don't rate him.

If wishes were horses ..



Shebi u like Rohr?? Don't be surprised to see Musa and Simon retain their starting shirt next month...

the man doesn't even rate the Belgian league... Onyekuru, Kalu and Osimhen were in hot form in Belgium but weren't deemed good enough to start by Rohr...
With regards to the AFCON l completely agree with Rohr decision. Both of them lack physicality and were too lightweight for the AFCON at that time.

New season mow, let's see how much they will improve and if they don't there will some others improving such as Odey.

It's current form that gets you called to the SE not past glories.

There are still many players ahead of Okereke. The likes of Osimhen, Awoniyi and Olanrewaju.

Odey is yet to prove himself. I don't rate Onuachu for now.

Rohr: ”I see he (Iheanacho) is now professional in the way he trains and play in games. I have been speaking with him and from the way he is performing in pre season he will be back with us”,

”He is a part of the team and he knows it. When next we have a game he will get his chance to prove himself because we believe in him and we’ll be happy to have him back”.

But you were singing past glories for Fred Onyedimma, Dominic Iorfa and even Dominic Solanke.... You selectively refer to their past exploits at lower levels sef to uplift your argument for them. Just recently you talk up Tammy Abraham who is yet to deliver at a higher level than the Championship... Something Iheanacho has already done. Tammy is still dreaming of proving himself at EPL level.

Mr Man... Be a thermostat for once. You are one hell of a thermometer.... Lol

Oh yeah!

LW- Musa, Onyekuru, Lookman,

RW- Kalu, Chukwueze, Simon Moses (can also play LW),

Others (LW/RW) - Dennis Bonaventure, Chidera Ejuke, Hillary Gong, etc..

Onyekuru should not dull oooo.... That Monaco move would have been great even though he would have forsaken CL football. But let's see the end of this... It's not like Gala isn't a top team. But I personally prefer France to Turkey.

The only player that has the edge over Kayode on your list is Iheanacho if the bolded is considered.

That's based on previous achievement but going by recent performance both are not qualified to make the national team. Unfortunately, they both have serious challenges ahead of them this season due to the fact that they are both either second or third strikers in their teams.

However, let us wait and see what happens this season. I am open to any player that does well in their various league including Ujah.

Sulieman Abdullahi is not a striker but we still have a certain Maja in Ligue 1.

From my list, Predominantly left footed? No... Just Chukwueze for now.

Moses Simon is strongly two-footed but uses his right a bit more.

Success Makanjuola of the U-20s is a left footer but not settled in Europe yet.
Although there is Sheyi Ojo and Adekanye...

But it is just Chuks for now at a high level.

Based on recent performances at one time, Ighalo was also not qualified. But we persisted with him. It paid off. Now we have younger quality options, so other parameters like individual player quality has to be considered. Also, high class potentials and prospects for the future is why I may lean more towards Awoniyi, Okereke and the other younger ones.

It is okay to keep an open mind on Ujah but for me, I know there is nothing new the guy can add to our Super Eagles or add to his game.

Suleiman Abdullahi is a striker. I have followed him since before his Union Berlin days. He has played the majority of his senior career games as a CF. He played more from the right last season as a Right winger but he is predominantly a Striker.

Oh yes... We have Josh Maja in Bordeaux. We will see what he conjures up this season.

I disagree. Ighalo was highly qualified because he was banging in goals in the Chinese league as at the time he was called back. That's not the case with those two players.

We should put sentiment for one corner, they don't deserve to be called to the national team at the detriment of those doing well, except they do well this season, then they should get a look.

I am not saying we should not consider or write them off ooooo.

Okay! But if he continues as a winger this season, we should not consider him among the strikers.

What about before China? Was he still banging in goals aplenty? Ighalo at a point didn't merit a NT invite. But we just had to persist and persist until he came good for us.

Iheanacho is at a higher pedestal than Kayode hence the chances of Rohr calling him up more often than Kayode. He has already proven himself in the GWG and is just having a rough phase he is fighting to shake off. But in Kayode's case, he needs to get noticed again. For Kayode to get noticed, he needs to start scoring. He needs to convince Rohr again.

And Suleiman is a striker. Mbappe plays as a winger/wing forward most times but he is also a striker. That is who he is naturally.
