19 year old Paul Mukairu (striker) made his debut in the Turkish Super lig. One for the future?

Earthquake1:

i pray say na sarcasm oh..

Even if it is just for a game or friendly, it does not matter.

safarigirl:
I don't know how you can say this with certainty. Uzoho and Ezenwa have been decent for the GWG, nobody will be ready to take over the mantle and if you are looking at Ejide, I highly recommend you look away.

There are no tournaments coming any time soon, so, Rohr has all the time in the world, to try the young goalies until he gets what he wants. This one is not like 2014 World Cup that they rushed Odemwingie inside.
The best time for Ejide, was last year, before the World Cup, the second best time, was this year, before AFCON.....if Rohr and co had no use for him in these crucial moments, they will not call him up after them, except all the young goalies are injured or something


Alampasu, Nwokolor and Osigwe will get look-ins before Ejide. Rohr say he's building team for the future, and you people are mentioning Ejide that will be 38 by the next World Cup....what do you want to use him for? Una just wan make pesin papa come play six games for you, then you will kick him out again like the last time. You people are wicked, selfish and insensitive.

Joebie:
haha.. which one be use and dump??
Make Rohr call Ejide and see if he no go run come.. lol Somebody who played second fiddle to Enyeama for a long spell will be so glad to don the GWG again before he retires.. my sister talk another thing

Joebie:
how far with bolded? wasn't called for hmmmmm

Joebie:
no, stats has been the ONLY context here.
Have you watched his game recently?

And if he was past it several years ago, how come he played a big part in Ligat ha'Al in the just concluded season. You mean his club couldn't have got a better younger keeper who wasn't spent?

safarigirl:
Now, he's called as a temporary panacea, is that really better than second fiddle? Yes, he may come, but it is not to be crowned in glory....this is assuming he doesn't have a few gaffes and you and the others clamouring for him today, don't turn on him.

Ejide is old, whether you people call him or not at this point, it will have little or no impact on his career, the same cannot be said of the small boys.

tbaba1234:
He looked past it. He might still be able to do a job but i doubt he is at a high level.

Uzoho is good enough. His club situation is more stable now. He should be given a chance. We should be looking for deputies for him.

safarigirl:
You are taking it more seriously than I intended it. Maybe I should have added a smiley at the end

Ejide is old, whether you people call him or not at this point, it will have little or no impact on his career, the same cannot be said of the small boys. In fact, for his peace of mind, I would recommend he stays far away from the national team.

Joebie:
oh so u think the intention is to help him with his career.. wow life is not always competition.
The purpose have been stated clearly. Anybody who thinks there is a hidden agenda should bring it up, and I will trash it here squarely. Uzoho is in the team... there are loads of pages I supported his call up and use in our friendlies leading to the WC. Alampasu, Nwokolor, as well got my support at one time or the other.. Who have I not even supported on this thread when they were doing well?

I have always been a proponent of fierce competition. Anything that will keep our players continuously on their toes will promote excellence. No player should feel their position is assured until we are that team that we all love to watch. shekina

BARAJ92:
when did Shola Amoebi receive is first call up, Ejide will surely be aware that he can't be in the team for long

forgiveness:
Austin Ejide stats is better than all the goalkeepers we have.

He played throughout last season. Why did our goalkeeper coach ignore him for Akpeyi and Ezenwa despite playing in a better league?

With Ejide we could have won the AFCON.

safarigirl:
I do not think it is for his career. I do not think Ejide needs the Super Eagles right now, he's doing good at his club and he doesn't have to worry about millions of Nigerians, dragging him all over social media for a slight error. He is in a good place

I think this is about you, you people don't really care about Ejide and his career, you just want to watch Nigeria's games and you think you'll feel better watching with an Ejide in goal. Like I said, it's actually quite self-centered, but what are fans if not self-centered?

I seem to be the only one that actually cares about this man. A lot of you only care about the 90 minutes he's on the pitch, I care about the before and after, I care about his state of mind. I don't limit myself to the 90 minutes of football.

This is someone's husband, father and son, if it is not ABSOLUTELY necessary for HIM, not YOU or any of the other Super Eagles fans, HIM, there is no reason he should don a Super Eagles jersey.

Joebie:
Lol
U don take am too far.
He is a sportsman.. I’m sure he’s experienced lots of bashing whenever he does badly during his long career. I know say u care about this man more than himself. But no forget say some of our young players get family too o.

I’m a fan that just want to see the best we can have regardless of where they come from or how old they are. Show that papa u got better tricks and he will duff his hat for u. Else he shouldn’t be retired yet.

If SE gets better and better as time goes on I will smile. If it doesn’t seem we are getting better, I go talk truth.

safarigirl:
different people, different scenarios, different positions.

I used Odemwingie's 2014 call-up, to compare to the clamour for Ejide now, because they are more similar. Shola never had a cap, Ejide debuted in 2001. Shola never featured in an international game, Ejide has been to multiple of those, with the medals to show. Ejide has achieved a lot on the international scene, Shola had nothing.

Like I said, different scenarios and different people. Shola even got his cap months before a major tournament, the World Cup, there is no major tournament for Ejide to look forward to. That is why I said the best time for him to be called up has passed

Joebie:
Maybe we would have. Maybe not. But the fact remains he has the best stats.

safarigirl:
I dey look players like say dem be my family members.

The young ones can chop insult, after all, they are small boys, they are at the age where chopping insult is part of growth. No be old man go come dey chop insult

Abeg, I prefer Ejide keeps his peace of mind, he cannot go through what Akpeyi went through. Super Eagles can sort themselves out

Joebie:
On the flip side he may just retire as a hero

tbaba1234:
Lol question.. He is Nigerian

BascoVanVeli:
I think Awaziem is going to play right back this season. Nyom played that role last season but he is now with Getafe. Both have the same profile tall and fast enough.
