Are you Alloy Agu? So you jump to the defense of every public figure in distress? Why didn't you defend the U20 coach when you yourself were calling him all types of names? Basically you put on your self righteous cap when you have nothing else to say.

Atletico set sights on Ndidi
2019-08-16T08:28:54Z 09:28
Atletico Madrid are interested in signing Leicester City midfielder Wilfred Ndidi, according to Legit.
The Spanish giants have identified the 22-year-old as the ideal replacement for Rodri, who joined Manchester City at the start of July.
Ndidi scored twice in 38 Premier League appearances for Leicester last season.

My world class player will get the move soon,so many of you are already saying what's he is waiting for since gueye moved to psg but you guys forget he is just 22 and gueye made a late move at 29

The source of the news is goal.com

Expose who? grin

Trite and stale news. You will go and dig up that my post on Onigbinde again of since over 5years ago. grin You no dey tire?

Renowned Tribalist.

It didn't please you that names like Ezenwa, Uzoho and Okoye were goalies invited to represent Nigeria. grin

You are too predictable, why grin

WE ARE ONE NIGERIA pls.
this is the real thing paining him and anybody who says otherwise, is simply playing ostrich

Alampasu's exclusion is not the issue, maybe if a Femi Thomas had made the list,he wouldn't remember that Alampasu was excluded.

When he claimed Alloy Agu was solely responsible for the choice of goalkeepers and blatantly absolved Rohr of any involvment, I knew where he was going. How can someone with clean mind claim the head coach has nothing to do with selection of players on his team?

Sometimes, bad belle is the reason why some people don't progress. The sad thing is that Alampasu does not know that his progress is being impeded by some other person's bad belle. Be happy for everybody, so, that your own will come.

Yes, Alloy Agu is a tribalist, what should we do? Go and write to NFF to remove him for professional misconduct, rather than disturb the peace of this thread with conspiracy theories

Hmmmm,Alampasu,Maduka,Uzoho and Ezenwa.

Walahi wahala dey with what am reading here from respectable monikers.

This thread is losing it and there is need to bring sanity especially when it comes to analysing with facts not emotions.

My question does Maduka deserve eagles call up?capital NO cos on what criteria.

Alampasu had his opportunity through invitations but Uzoho two LA liga appearances gave him a break through and replaced Alampasu from always Rohr three goalkeeper list .

But at 22 do we say Alampasu should be discarded cos he was still with U23 cos i remeberthst Uzoho was our WC keeper as U23 keeper playing in LA liga third division and i was impressed.

Ezenwa was a third keeper with Enyimba and was still getting eagles call up.

I think we need to understand how national team invitations is done.It centre on a lot of things,ranging from talents,disciplines, player attitudes, coaches trust and player agent.

I want to state it that have been watching eagles sin afcon 1980 and i can tell anyone who care to listen that national team invitation is not only about performance.

It was on this thread I was hearing that Zuby doesn't desrve eagles call up but what can we say about Chidi Nwakili invitation by Rohr.

Rohr have his network of searching for players and it's left for those involved to recommend player for him.A Nigerian ex fortuna duselldorf player Darlington Omodiagbe was the brain behind Maduka invitation and he has been on it for sometimes.

If Maduka come good,no issue but based on his performance he did not deserve eagles call up whatsoever.
Oga Kog, without even reading the whole post of yours, I already liked what you said in your first few lines. Eversince we got divided along the lines of favoritism, tribalism and sentiments, we seem to have lost the whole essence of this thread. Insults and dissing have taken over. Robust convos are a thing of past. Insults now fly every 4 posts. You read stuffs like are you ok at all? Thunder fire you and all kinds of nonsense.

Frankly, this is also what is wrong with our society. What we have here is exactly the mirroring of our society. Objective reasoning is key.

That said, I dont think it is anyone's right as to who gets invited or not because ultimately, it is all about the gaffer's plans. I dare say that no mater who gets invited, they have to still do what the gaffer has in mind. How do you explain Etebo playing in defence, Or Ola aina playing a left back when he is a right back? At the end of it all if he flops in that position, we come hard on him and call him a flop and say stuff like he isnt a super eagles material. Oh he isnt better than what we have. Lets not also forget that our beloved Gernot Rorh (who can never do no wrong) already has his mind made up and this didnt start now.

My advice to all Nairalanders, lets not pull down a player over the other. All this Azubike is bad , Onuachu can offer more than Kelechi, Foreign borns vs home based talk should cease. Has anyone really questioned what our gaffer did or is doing with the talents at his disposal?
Oh and one last thing..... Everybody cannot play.!

I am 50% sure that we will get uduokhai because he is not even a starter in the German u21 and their eyes is more on torunarigha who is better than uduokhai.

This is one of the reasons why the lad had to tell himself the truth and left his options open lol
Uduokhai what makes him outstanding playing for Wolfsburg❓ Is he the first choice ❓ ❓ Style of play accolades, strengths and even weaknesses.

He is near 22 and has played 29 games for Wolfsburg since 2017 that's not impressive. There is not a lot of interest by way of transfer and or the German National team.

I really don't know too much about him beyond he is Edo 9ja German and he plays for Wolfsburg.

Comparing him to Fikayo Tomori just the games he played last season is almost equal to Udokhai career total. Tomori was credited arguably as the best CB in the Championship. Multiple EPL clubs queuing up to sign him. Clearly outstanding but highly unlikely to get into the England set up.

In this regard we can clearly see what Fikayo brings to the dinner table a three course meal � a La cart menu meanwhile Udokhai just brings bland boiled potatoes with German Frankfurter to me.

Or please tell me more is he better than what we have. Because IMO Fikayo Tomori clearly is.

I think I argued against you before ,because I can't take a championship player over a bundesliga player

But let me see what tomori can do ,with the way I am seeing he will get game time under lampard even if it's coming from the bench and starting those cup game I think it's okay

Tomori has already played Chelsea 2 games this season ,the Epl and the Uefa super cup ,this alone has to tell us great things ahead this season for tomori

But does he want to play for Nigeria ?

then other won the golden ball at the u17s moved to arsenal,out on loan several times and now at the verge of being released by arsenal

compare and contrast grin


bros lets forget sentiment and favoritism,hard work and determination pays!
There is a delusional support for players based on l don't know what but it's not rational ot objective.

Nwakali has been dropping like lead in water from Eredivisie, to lower Dutch league then to add insult to injury to Porto B and struggled to get into the team played 16 games.

The Eredivisie is ranked below the Turkish league and the Portuguese B is below Arsenal youth team in quality. It's not prophecy he will never play for Arsenal.

Too many people making projections on past youthful glories in football. How many years ago. This guy has had three seasons of opportunity and has comprehensively FAILED. That's the bitter truth.

If Aribo had had his opportunities he will be playing in the EPL. Meanwhile that's not too far off for Aribo he fits the profile he had the tenacity, Physicality, Determination, and Ruggedness mixed with goal scoring and technicality for the EPL. He will be a quality addition to the SE.

Meanwhile instead of Nwakali to settle down and focus on reigniting his career, l guess the long contract he signed with Arsenal has made him loose hus way. He will be on at least £5-8k a week maybe more.

Rohr has a particular reason for keeping tabs on okoye since all this years... This is not a matter of playing time... This maybe due to his talented.. Coz Rohr that I know can't invite player from a low league and won't still perform. Jamil Collins comes to my mind alot of critics came as a result of his invitation.. But look at him.. He is making waves.. In my unbiased opinion I think okoye is very talented and there must be something special about this dude.. Lobatan

Maduka is just to secure him for the under 23 team nothing else....

how do you see this Aribo invitee I am so happy...I pray he gets to play well and return back to Scotland with the juicy news that will help us convince the likes of Sheyi Ojo and others to think it twice on playing for Nigeria....
Ojo might as well...tell Rohr of his availability through Aribo like what mikel did to convince Aina.

Nwakali's saving grace is he's a DLP which we sorely need in the team.
But we can easily offset that with good ball playing defenders to cater to the abundance of CMs we have.
He needs to sit up. Time waits for no man

Is Nwakali better than Onomah, Ebere, Osayi, even the Fred Onyedinma who hus career has taken a big dip to go in the doldrums.

The term pulling down is ambiguous and simply stating your opinion even with measurable parameters. Becomes an act of HATRED.

I give my opinion why Osimhen should not have been selected for the SE as a player who had not kicked a ball for the senior team. I gave it again in support of his inclusion after he performed in the Belguim league for his inclusion in the AFCON. I gave it again when he was not selected to play supporting Rohr and also when he performed very poorly.

That by some fanatical supporters in thier delusional is HATRED.

That's the problem with this thread but still find all thus emotive rambling and sometimes colourful language and verbal warfare.

Make it excellent comedy and a break from work for me.
