Stop comparing Aiyenugba and Èjìdé with those world class goalies. They were never at one point in their careers half as good as those world class guys

I am in no way comparing their abilities to those great men. Their age is what is being talked about. We shouldn't disqualify them based on age alone. Keepers have more longevity than outfield players. What should disqualify them should be their abilities when benchmarked against the current younger keepers we have.

the comparisons are just flooring me. Ejide must be blushing at them

jihday:
After Ike retired we had Enyeama, Ejide and Aiyenugba I think, all played local football and were very young but still kept faith in them till they came good. So keeping faith with these young guys isn't a bad idea besides Ezenwa no be small boy

Which other keeper was available, both Ejide and Enyeama were backup to Ike before is retirement. Also Enyeama was performing for the team.
Both Akpeyi and Ezenwa are not young keeper.

Taliban:
Is dele Aiyenugba also in the Israeli league? If both Ejide and Aiyenugba are still playing active football with the keeper crisis we have I don't see why we can't give them invites and if they are past it, drop them finish. Edwin Van Der Saar came out of retirement and was still top class. Peter Shilton retired in his 40s, David seaman was around for a long time, we all still see Buffon so we shouldn't discriminate on those two based on their age. If they still have ir, could even be a good opportunity for the upcoming to learn from them in person.

Exactly my point.

jihday:
The fuq is this? When was the last time this one play for una?

When was the last time Mount, Pullsic, Tomori and Tammy played for Chelsea?

He is even far better and more experience than them.

He captained PSV to win the league two seasons ago. Once he recovers una go see player.

Aiyegbeni is clubless.

However, you are right on point. We should not discriminate based on age. The SIU measurement for selection should be based on performance in club. That was what that goalkeeper coach used against Alampasu to drop him from the team.

What stops the double standard fellow from dropping Ezenwa, Akpeyi and Uzoho the bench warmers?

If those goalkeepers were Nigerians, they would have become history by now because of their age.

if Enyeama gets game time, do you want him in the team?

Why are u trying so hard to absolve Rohr of the blame for Alampasu's exclusion from the team? There's no where that the goalkeeper trainer has power over the head coach in selecting goalkeepers for the team...his job is to train them..the coach makes the final decision...
I want Alampasu called up too but stop accusing Alloy Agu of whatever you are accusing him of. his problem is just that he is lazy!

Your hype sef ehhh, leave the boy make ehm de learn ball for Rangers, if ehm go Liverpool na lifetime bench be that

No they won't sir.

They are still playing at the highest level of club football, unlike our own old men.

Enyeama retired from the national team, if not, we won't even know about Uzoho by now, and he would still be manning the goal post for us. so what's your point. Let Enyeama come back from retirement, and see if he won't get a call up.

Enyeama that failed club trials? Lol. We aren't that desperate, please.

I assure you, Jurgen Klopp doesn't sign players he doesn't need..especially not when u are pass the age for academy football..

That being said,no where has it been published that Liverpool are looking at him..na komekn talk am...
But if he continues well,he might just find himself in the EPL soon though I doubt it will b in a team like Liverpool .probably a mid table team..the Scottish league isn't rated that high by English teams..

They will not play at the highest level of club football if they are Nigerians. The problem is our mentality against anything old.

Yes tammy is a good player

But i think he needs to be ready now

He will be 22 soon, so many good striker started playing for top team at such age

Take a look at gabriel jesus for example

One of the big differences about Brazilian players much more so than English players is that word OPPORTUNITY.

At 19 Gabriel had already had 2/3 seasons competitive football scoring buckets of goals.

Meanwhile his age mates would be overwhelmingly be playing U18 & U23 in the EPL.

Nonetheless, if you put Gabriel in the current Chelsea team considering they have always played with a true number 9. I dont think he will do better than Tammy.

City's system fits Gabriel like a glove and he is excelling before players move they need to be true yo themselves and thier unique abilities and know if the club will complement thier skill set or DESTROY IT.

Enyeama still believes he can compete at the biggest level after impressing on trial at the club.


Vincent Enyeama and Dijon could not agree on a contract after he trained at the club (bienpublic)
Veteran Nigerian goalkeeper Vincent Enyeama has failed to get Dijon deal after he had trials with the French club.

Enyeama who has not played competitive football since April 2017 trained with Gijon who wanted to watch him closely ahead of a deal.


According to BBC Sport, a deal could not be reached due to disagreement over the structure of the deal.

Vincent Enyeama says he was well received at the club during the trial (bienpublic) bienpublic

Despite failing to get a deal with Dijon, the 36-year-old took to his Twitter to thank the club for their ‘reception’.



"I want to thank the people of DFCO @dfco_officiel for the warm and excellent reception and the opportunity they gave me to train with their first team," Enyeama wrote on Instagram.

"I have only good words and memories of you guys. I wish you all the best for the season. Go and show the championship what a great family you are. Good luck."

BBC Sport also report that the former Super Eagles captain and goalkeeper impressed during his trials at the club.


"It was a wonderful period that made me realise that I can still play football at the highest level," he also said on Instagram.

"That I can still win matches and trainings for my side. The [Dijon] players, coaches and medical staff were very wonderful."

Enyeama, Pulse Sports understand prefers to remain in France where he and his family are settled.

Enyeama moved to France to join Lille from Israeli side Hapoel Tel Aviv in June 2011 and made 164 appearances for the French club.

The 2013/2014 season was his best season at the club after he got 17 clean sheets from 35 league games to become the French Ligue 1 African Player of the Season.

charlesemeka85:
Nah I doubt that but he won't stay long in the Scottish top flight. A mid table epl team may go for him or any team from top leagues in Europe.

You can't doubt all you like but Liverpool are looking for a replacement for Henderson.

And they need a midfielder that goes beyond playing safe and working very hard non stop to one that brings all that but MORE.

So all l can say is watch this space.

Finally, which club and league did Joe Gomez come from at 18 and was catapulted straight into the first team for Liverpool.

Okay. Didn't fail trials, but still clubess

Nobody is recalling him and he isn't interested in returning. Move on

Just to remind you failing club trials has many permutations it's not as conclusive as you think.

Mahrez failed club trials at a moi moi Scottish club and look at him now. I know a player rejected by a non league club and a plethora of Championship and league one clubs that was signed by Arsenal.

Osimhen failed trials at a Belguim club before going to Charleroi and now the rest is history.

Don't jump to conclusions so quickly.

Enyeama is older than all these people. He ain't no spring chicken. He didn't fail it though, just couldn't agree terms apparently

If you have made a wrong deduction it's honourable to admit that you are wrong.

But to continue to then disrespect and abuse one of the best Goalkeeper we have had in recent times if not the best.Thats not wisdom but the opposite.

That was a typo. I meant to write 'clubless"......the fact that you think clueless made sense in that post is disappointing. How will I say he is clueless? How is he clueless?

You should also use wisdom sometimes, and apply context, not just attack for whatever reason.

Agreed. Goal Keepers tend to have longer careers than outfield players.
Unless it's the usual football age vs real age talk, I don't see why we should rule them out based on age.
Our goal keeping options are dire compared to say 3 -4 years ago. We went from having Carl Ikeme and Enyeama as options to what we have now.
Bringing Ejide back would've been a terrible option back in 2016 - 17...but now? I don't know.
