Rohr needs to scout and decide for himself if there are no talents. He can not stay and Europe and summarize that we have no talents in the NPFL and NNL.

slimthugchimee2:


Just asking, Nigeria seems to have alot of strikers performing well in their various clubs, I don't know how they plan on squeezing them into the NNTS

See I don't think you like iheanacho like I do, but heck am stating what am seeing.!!

charlesemeka85:
u earn my respect with this post bro. forget folks wey dey short sighted but they form they sabi the game.

issues like this is the same thing that almost destroyed our football before rohr came on board. in an era where Nigeria is blessed with young talented players doing big things in top European leagues you expect the coach to sit down in nigeria when he has the luxury to live in Europe in order to monitor his players closely.

oliseh came and forced paul onobi on us and made us believe he is better than mikel but where is he now?

the likes of kwambe,oshaniwa,ekwuekwe,oboabona,mba,uzoenyi just to mention a few who keshi made us believe they are the 2nd coming of zizou,baresi,maradona etc where are they today? whereas the likes of omeruo,musa,mikel,moses,onazi and others from the same team are still playing in till date in better leagues

So Rhor should scout for 16 yrs old?
What is now the duty of under 14,u-17 coaches?

tbaba1234:
Iheanacho did ok for his limited service. I have seen Vardy have games like this but his goals overshadow the lack of service.

Tell that to Amokachi who became a quality player in football and went on to have some memorable games with the Super Eagles. It only shows how thorough Westerhof was, not only relying on foreign based talents.

He used the home based players to create serious competition in the team.

Keep in mind we won the U17 World Cup while Westerhof was coach of the Super Eagles. He actually knew the U17 team inside out and had a fall out with the U17 coach based on the tactical approach of the later regarding Kanu Nwankwo.

Not to go to Europe and lounge and collect salary, saying you are working.

am really disappointed in you sir
how many national team in the world do their national team coach scout for U-17, football has evolve raw talents are discovered by age grade coach and club academies.

TAA was discovered by Liverpool
Ansu Fati by Barca
Oshimen and Samu by Amunike
etc

this Era of football clubs and age grade coach scout for raw gem not NT coach

How can you be comparing football in the early 1990s to 2019?? It is ludicrous. No one in the local scene is on super eagles level.

Any Nigerian player with small talent is either in Europe or on their way..

We have under 17 and under 20 coaches to pick outstanding youngsters. Those players need a few more years to develop.

Rohr can do a lot more work in Europe. He can scout upcoming Nigerian talents. He can meet with his players and speak to them. He can meet diaspora players that can improve our team.

Sitting in Nigeria looking for the odd talent is a waste of time.

TheGoodJoe:


Rohr should be in the country and involved in what is going on in the local scene. Staying in Europe as if it is none of his business does not add up when we are forking a fortune to keep him.

We are not de La creme to have all our talents in top academies in the World like the English, French, Brazilians, Argentina etc. The National team coach needs to stay involved.

andrewbaba44:


Lol at the bolded

I think thegoodjoe usually do get it wrong when it comes to issues like this

tbaba1234:


Rohr's responsibility is not to develop the local league.

The way to develop the local league is not to have Rohr sit in Nigeria.

Why can't our local sides have standard academies to churn out fresh talents for the league? Is it Rohr's presence that will change that?

kellycute:
you ain't seeing nothing, go wash your face make u see clearly.








6 games... 5goals.. 2 assists...

TheGoodJoe:


Westerhof was fully informed and participated in actions of our players in Europe. News even had it that he had foreign contacts to help move local talents to foreign clubs.

That did not stop him from participating with what was going on in the local scene and age grade levels.

Keshi could select his CHAN team himself. Rohr has no clue.

TheGoodJoe:


I am not getting it wrong. My opinion is not popular.

You can not tell me the National team coach of a country like Nigeria earns a fortune and has no idea what is going on in the local scene, because he must live in Europe. That does not work.

TheGoodJoe:


I remember reading that Guardiola as Coach of Bayern Munich held some coaching clinics to help brush up the tactics of local coaches in Germany. That was not his responsibility. This is even a club coach, let alone a National team coach having no clue.

tbaba1234:


Rohr's impact in the super eagles have been outstanding. Our players are in Spain, France, England, Italy, Germany. When was the last time we had that?

Rohr put in a word to get Lokosa into Esperance.

CHAN has been of no benefit to to super eagles. No need for Rohr to be involved in that. It has no benefit for the first team.

TheGoodJoe:


Westerhof did not develop the local league. No one said Rohr should develop the league. Go there and look at what is going on. Check if they are gems. Identify them and help develop the players for the better of the National team.

Having occasional clinics is different from having Rohr sit in Nigeria.

Fact: There is more work for him to do in Europe

safarigirl:
earns a fortune?

LOL, that's a stretch

Y'all aren't paying Rohr enough to deal with NFF's bulls#*t and still walk about looking for 'talents' in the local league (so that his wallet can be stolen again). And sure, it is easy to say let him go elsewhere, but anywhere else Rohr goes, he will be fine.

Will Nigeria be fine?

chidi1:


The Goodjoe, just for our edification, could you name at least three local players currently that are good enough to replace players in the super eagles.
