Just think about this for a moment... You may be wondering where Saka would fit in for us.

If or when Bukayo Saka joins the Super Eagles, I tip him to make those left wingback and leftback roles his in a 4-2-3-1/3-5-2 formations.

Saka may not start as our LW but he can start as our LB and LWB. Collins can bench for Saka.

In the final third, he will also act as another quality option on the LW alongside the likes of Simon, Kalu, Ejuke, Onyekuru... Etc.


Bukayo Saka actually has a role with us if we get him. He could be starting easily as our LB. No questions asked.


In case you haven't seen his outrageous piece of skill to set up Pepe... Here it is below.

#SakaForSuperEagles. cool
He gets mandatory cover when he is attacking. I still prefer him as a winger though. Ola Aina behind him is gonna be Fire.

But to be very honest this statement is true.

Yes Haaland is doing well and he is one of the best young striker in the world and so do victor

They will say he is better because he has scored 8 goals in the champions league group stage

Yes he has started well at dortmund and getting goals ,osimhen will do better than Lille in a talented Dortmund team with reus sancho and co

anytime I hear or read that "osihmen scored" I always make sure I watch the match highlights. Let me quickly go and watch the match highlights .

Modified: Osihmen as a very good positioning, not scared to take on defenders, he always wants to hold the ball and his finishing was world class.
Why his he not rated with the level j.sancho, And E. Haaland are been highly rated by the sports media?


because he's black

Scoring yet again in another big game in France! Osimhen is the realest deal!!
Reason why the coach can't afford to put him on the bench. One word 'Indispensable'

Our national team has greatly improved over the last 4years. We are making progress though slowly.

We now have club regulars who are also indispensable.
Ekong
Ajayi
Omuero
Awaziem
Aina
Collins
Ndidi

Osimhen

Gone were the days when 80% of our first team was made up of bench warmers. With time we should be able to phase out those not commanding starting shirts in their respective clubs.

Nigeria Football Federation may soon announce former Super Eagles assistant coach Daniel Amokachi as its new Technical Director, to replace Bitrus Bewarang who holds the position presently, Completesports.com reports.

Feelers from the Glass House Secretariat of the NFF indicates that the federation has been in discussion with the former Super Eagles forward and that he would by announced as soon as they finalized terms of service.

“I think the only thing delaying the announcement of Amokachi as the new Technical Director is because both parties have not agreed on the wages and conditions of service for the former AFCON winner. He was picked ahead of two other coaches who also wanted the job,” Completesports.com source divulged.

I just read that his mom who was there for him isn't Nigerian and his father was not in his life at all. We can still try though after all its better to try and fail than to fail to try. Idris Adefemi (Bam) Adebayo even has the yoruba actors name. Meanwhile what about semilore? Can't remember his last name.

Giannis was making fun of him because he said he is half African grin well I still say we give it a try at least due to the fact he uses his Nigerian name.


No disrespect to the other guy but Bam is a once in a lifetime type talent. Giannis is the only Nigerian better than him

On the "working on Saka's switch" matter... Be rest assured Pinnick knows this lad and have spoken about him before. I am sure this is a keen reminder. Get us Saka!!!!



Think that had to do with some guy saying he was Ghanaian.

I hope Pinnick is on it because it is becoming a real subject.

Btw look at Robbie saying he would select England over Jamaica like Jamaica na country grin

Amokachi is qualified for the role. He was Technical Director of Finnish League side, JS Hercules.

Victor Osimhen still making me proud smiley. was reading a claim on twitter about Osimhen being the highest scoring African in the top 5 leagues with 18 goals if we count all competitions. Actually he's level with Salah who has more assists. if Lille sells Osimhen for anything less than €60m whenever he leaves the person who signed off should be thoroughly flogged.

Maybe Oliseh is better but Oliseh will clash with people.

Amokachi was the technical director of JS Hercules in Finland so he has an idea of what the job entails.

Bukayo Saka is a natural winger and only a make-shift wingback. There is nothing wrong in we adding him to our pool of wingers. His stocks are rising and for a boy who just turned 18 last September and already contributing so much to a top EPL team like Arsenal....Nothing wrong in he competing for a place with likes of Simon, Kalu, Musa and Chukwueze. We need competition in various positions in the team and here it is.
