Awaziem is joining the super eagles..

What about Okereke, Bonaventure, Orji, etc?

If we do not make the Olympics, the fault is Imama.

a reasonable person would have lured Rohr to Give some of this foreign born lads call ups just to have them capped and thereafter transfer them to the under 23 to increase his pool of players...but nah the man has no clue...and barely think broad....

Why change a winning team? Where is Chukwueze,Osimhen,Okereke,Bonaventure,Even Uzoho,Ozonwafor,Awazie,etc....?


Am i missing something?

I think someone like Osimhen might join them for the return leg as revealed by his coach at Lille.

“I had made the choice not to start him, despite his magnificent start especially against Nantes, because after the match in Reims, Victor will fly to participate in two games (against Ukraine and probably the return leg vs Sudan) with his national team,”

Midtjylland's 'Kante' Onyeka Headlines Nigeria U23 Roster; Lusitano's Collins Set To Make History


It is a foregone conclusion that FC Midtjylland midfielder Frank Onyeka will make his international debut this month after he was named on the roster for the U23 Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers against Sudan.

With appearances under his belt in the Champions League and Europa League qualifiers as well as the UEFA Youth League, Onyeka is a household name in Scandinavia.

Hailed as the New N'Golo Kante by the official website of FC Midtjylland, Onyeka's goalscoring stats are better than the Frenchman's for the last three seasons.

The other big names in the traveling party are Azubuike Okechukwu of Istanbul Basaksehir, Liverpool-owned striker Taiwo Awoniyi and Racing Genk's summer signing Stephen Odey.

Lusitano de Vildemoinhos's Collins Nonso is set to make history after he was named in the traveling party by coach Imama Amapakabo.
Should he feature in any of the matches against Sudan, Nonso will have the honour of being the first international player to represent Lusitano de Vildemoinho.

The Dream Team VII will face Sudan at the Al Merriekh Stadium in Omdurman on September 5 while the return leg will hold in Asaba five days later and the winner over two legs will qualify for the U23 AFCON in Egypt.

Rohr is the super eagles coach not the coach of U23. he's expected not to give a Bleep about the U23. Don't put the blame on him. rather put it in the U23 coach, and the NFF Technical team

Spot on man. I see some faces joining up for the return leg.

Unless Osimhen does not play against Ukraine, all of the travelling will make him exhausted.

Imama could simply have invited quality players in the first place. How can we inviting a player from the portuguese 3rd division and Faleye who is not a regular in Austrian second division.

Our local coaches are bad, what do you mean? Have you evaluated every local coach? Have you gone to all the academies and seen their capabilities?

You people complain about zenophobia but you condemn everything about your people

Official : Bordeaux Striker Maja Receives Late Call-Up To Nigeria Squad For Friendly Vs Ukraine

Osimhen will likely be involved against Ukraine but I don't think he will play all 90.
As for Imama's selections, I think I'll rather just save my breadth for now.

Bros let's keep sentiment aside, coady is better than all the center halves we can boast of both capped and uncapped with tomori inclusive. Tomori is a greenhorn learning his trade and is yet to be tested in a full season of top flight football.

He only made Chelsea team this season because of the transfer ban if not he wouldn't have made Chelsea bench let alone seeing game time

komekn:
In my honest unbiased opinion TOMORI FIKAYO is considerably better than Connor.

Lol

Bros senior national team no be u20 or u23 teams where players are brought in without showing much in their various clubs.

Eze springed out from nowhere a season ago and only had a decent half season before he lost form. He was in the sight of the super eagles team selectors and have even trained with the super eagles in London.

England swooped for him and persuaded him to join their u20 side even when he made it clear to them he wants to play for Nigeria. Even his club management and coach had to convince him to accept the English call up.

Career wise, playing for English youth sides will give his profile a lift as well as his value as a player. Eze is just 21 and still have time to rescind his decision to our favour so I don't see his case as a lost one.

In the boys heart he only wants to play for one team in senior international footbl and that team is the super eagles. Even his u21 call up was a late one due to injuries to 2 players who made the list earlier.

Danielnino00:
Nigerians aren't the one selecting players for the national team...and Ebere Eze isn't just any kind of foreign born player. he is a player that plays in a position where we currently lack options :AMF ..he should have been called up long ago.
How many Nigerians knew Aina and Ebuehi when they were called up to fill in at RB and LB? was there any outcry after their call up?
How many outcry followed Maduka Okoye's call up??

If we lost Eze,its Rohr's fault and nobody else's...

There is no reason why he has not been called up. Be rest assured that he will play for England if and when they call him to the senior side.

Rohr is at fault here.

At fault to an extend yes but I see no reason rushing the kid then. In this same forum alot would have kicked against his invitation after just half a season in the championship.

And for ur info, England currently boast of plethora of AM both capped and uncapped. The likes of Mount, Barkley, leicester number 10(have forgotten his name) alli, lingard and highly rated folden are miles ahead of Eze.

Even in the new England U21 side, his inclusion was a late one due to willocks withdrawal. He needs to make it up to the epl first, followed with breath taking performances before he may get a look in by Southgate.

I strongly believe Eze, ejaria and tomori will play for us in the future unlike tammy

Rushing the kid??

Does your under 23 have a better offensive midfielder? Etebo plays in the same league, does he have better stats??

It is not by belief.. You can not keep ignoring a player and expect him to play for you.

Right now, Ebere is not tied so he does not need a switch.

Once he plays for the England under 21s, we have complicated the matter and he will need a switch.

tbaba1234:
Imama is clueless..

Maybe when we lose the first leg, his sense would activate.

tbaba1234:
Josh Maja has been called up to join the team. He will be in camp.

He's undeserving of a call up.

please how do you comprehend...write ups?

did I say indigenous coaches are bad?
please highlight where I said that...

the indigenous coaches so far I have seen are not free from corruption, cluelesness and incompetence.....

they barely think beyond their pockets...

e.g siasia and yusuf so far so good....
only God still know how some players made the last under 20 team....coupled with the poor tactics employed.

I agree but maybe he can be drafted to the under 23 later.

who should have Been called up instead

you guys seems not to understand this things.....
let's cap this guys thereafter send them to the under 23 team..... that's the plan we can't fight England for him when he eventually rise to stardom....you can't get foreign born.players that way.....


you act fast and quickly to get them on your side.....

moreover he has a British passport with no need for visa to Ukraine.....

and I think this switch cost some few dollars....?

Exactly as Charlesemeka85 would have put it.

Are we lacking in the striking department for the U-23 team?

What has he done to fastrack his call up?

We can't just fill up the team with bunch of mediocres from everywhere and think that's the best way to go, show us a little more promise and no one would question ur inclusion.

It's not as if there's a serious dearth of talents back here at the home front.
