I am still wandering what went wrong? What happened to players that beat Libya u23 4-0 in Asaba?

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


Am i missing something?
Why invite them now when they won't play the main tournament? It's better to use players that will play if we qualify

It is a FIFA open window. The players are free.

There will be no tournament to play if you do not qualify. He wasted the slots fof foreign based players. What is a third division player from Portugal doing in the team.

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.

Maja plays for Bordeaux. He is not mediocre. Plus he is actually 19

If we can't beat Sudan with this team then we have no business playing the African nations cup

Maybe he's trying to get players that can turnup for a tournament while the European season is in full swing

You realise that Sudan has a stronger local league than NPFL. His selection of reinforcements is weak. If you want a blend of local and foreign based, at least select those that can really improve the team.

For the African tournament, he will have to depend mostly on local players.

If the player is stuck in the third division of portugal, he is probably not that good.

Playing in the toulon tournament with the English u20 didn't tie him? After the release of the list for the Ukraine game Rohr made mention that he has his eyes on some English born talents who re playing in the championship but their case is different because they have been capped by England and needs time to for their clearance. I believe he was referring to Eze and ejaria
tbaba1234:
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.

You can only be tied by an official tournament. He is not tied now.

Toulon is a friendly tournament.

Aina played UEFA under 19 qualifiers. You are not disqualified by friendly games.

He hasn't done anything spectacular either and if not because of his English background, we wouldn't have him with the senior team.

It has nothing to do with his English background. His affliation with Bordeaux is the reason. Rohr is a Bordeaux legend.

Eze, Ejaria etc all have English backgrounds.

OK, you're right.

You've only agreed with me that his call has sentiments written all over it.

Maybe he wants to use them for the second leg after Sudan wires us in the first leg. Imama appears to be a joke

Yea but i think it is ok to get him committed and maybe moved to the under 23 till he is ready. He is 19 so he has time.

There is no top level Championship club that will take a player who has scored 4 goals in two seasons in the EPL.

The Championship is very physical and KC doesn't have that within his repertoire of attributes.

Or which teams do you suggest will take him in the Championship.
Story. Is Daniel James physical? Did he not flourish in the Championship? Continue arguing what you do not know. Nacho has an impeccable history. His Preseason showed the fire is still there. Given a run in a fluid offensive system, he will flourish. All Nacho needs is the right amount of games in the right system and he will not fail.

Talking like if all the teams in the Championship are mechanics.

Norwich and Sheffield are playing okay without being physical and these are teams that did well in the championship.
Re: "The Super Eagles Thread: The Road To AFCON 2027, 2028 And 2030 World Cup by charlesemeka85(m): 10:56pm On Sep 03, 2019
Is the toulon tournament not counted as an international tournament? Even if one play for the u21 of any country he can still switch to another country he has ties with but unturnable when you debut in a competitive game at senior level.

If Eze featured in friendly with the English u20 team he wouldnt have needed to be cleared to play for us but I think with an appearance in the toulon tournmament with the English team he needs to be cleared bfor switching to us

Let's be honest - city will not be activating that 50m buy back clause anytime soon.
Leicester would be lucky to get 20m for Nacho at the moment.

Does not mean the clause is not in the contract. Anyone buying Iheanacho now must put that into consideration. I doubt you can cancel the clause by tearing the contract.

The clause is there incase City want him back. City clearly don't need him so it doesn't matter.
They'll pass up on the opportunity when it comes.

Like our teams on the continent are eating other teams for breakfasthuh

Look at the invitation by Ivory Coast and Morocco. They invited some of their best players.

We are using a manage manage team when we have far better players at this level.

You are missing it. Anyone wanting to sign Nacho will be signing to take over the contract. The person must agree that if City wants him back they will sign him for 50m. Whether City wants him back or not is not the problem. The problem is that the club must accept that clause.
Re: "The Super Eagles Thread: The Road To AFCON 2027, 2028 And 2030 World Cup by Joebie: 11:37pm On Sep 03, 2019
Nobody has claimed here that he can not turn things around eventually . We are just assessing him so far.
benji93:
True, but he's only been playing for 3 years professionally, so let's see how he turns out a year or two from now. Let's see if he can play regularly at Huesca.

Nah. City can pass up on it. They practically have first refusal only with a fixed price tag.
Think Cesc Fabregas with Arsenal when he wanted to leave Barca or Eto with Madrid when he wanted to sign for Barca.
Leicester will alert City and ask if they want to activate the buy back clause. If they say no, Leicester will sell to another team and that will be the end of it.
Don't confuse sell on clause with buy back clause. I don't think City have a sell on clause.
