I would never have agreed that our present wingers are better than THE VICTOR MOSES that we've known.. Just that I've not watched his recent matches.

Don't take my word for it.

Make out time to watch his games at inter. They show old matches

Thank you

Person wey know ball no go agree that one, even if we dont want him back due to our young team, no mean say make we no talk true

Our current wingers have been playing below average so far apart from moses simon

Chukwueze, Samuel Kalu, Onyekuru even Ejuke are currently playing better than Victor Moses what are you saying?

Subzero047:


Chukwueze, Samuel Kalu, Onyekuru even Ejuke are currently playing better than Victor Moses what are you saying?

None is better than victor moses, none of them is even up to his level

All the players you mentioned have been below par this season apart from Ejuke

Its either you havent watch any of those players this season or you just wanna turn blind eyes

I even said i want ejuke to be called up, victor moses is not coming back to the eagles and he didnt say so, but we have to be realistic when comparing players

Your best winger this season is Moses Simon, but maybe you choose not to call him due to double standard, you even get mind dey call below par samuel kalu

Anyway if you can say pogba is the best midfielder in the epl when de bruyne doesnt play golf then you can say anything

Subzero047:


So because Liverpool miss Henderson that means he's better than Pogba, you're funny

Lemme turn the tables on you.


So because Leicester missed Ndidi, now means he's better than Choudhury?




Now you can conclude

Joebie:
I don’t think the account took any sides. It seems genuine.
I will fault Oliseh for poor timing.

Seems even Musa no want as he see the clash. I imagine how camp go scatter that night.

like those wey dey return WAEC result 10yrs after using the same results to find better job.

Now you can conclude

Ndidi and Choudbury are in the same team

Madrid may not miss Casemiro, Man city may not miss De Bruyne does that mean They are less better than Grealish and Ndidi whom their teams will miss

Your team missing you depends on how capable they are and whether they have a suitable replacement

Guy don't bring my previous tweet against me because you have said many nonsense

Coming to the argument the only thing of note V. Moses have done in the past years was his assist against Lukaku, during that time Chukwueze has mesmerized both Madrid and Barca recording multiple goals and assists, Samuel Kalu have scored for both club and country, Ejuke have been impressive at Holland likewise Onyekuru, I didn't mention Simon Moses because it was evident

Unless you are still judging on his performance in 2016/17 then I know you don't know argument

Aston Villa chief Christian Purslow has no doubts about the potential of 16 year-old Carney Chukwuemeka.

The teen is being linked with Manchester United and Manchester City this week.

Speaking at the Villa Supporters Trust's AGM recently, Purslow said: “Frankly, I'm going to be brutal, 22-year-olds playing in an under-23 team means your system isn't working. It means your system has failed because 22-year-old footballers at Aston Villa need to be in the first team.

“The ultimate goal is to populate the under-23 team with 11 outstanding 16, 17 and 18-year-olds, then I will know it's working.

"And that will take years, not months. We need to be higher in recruiting the best eight-year-old, nine-year-old, 10-year-old, 11-year-old, 12-year-old, 14, 16, one a year that makes it and gets a professional contract at 16.

“I want that player. We have one right now, probably the best 16-year-old in England, Carney (Chukwuemeka). Absolutely no debate, he's starting for the U23s.

“That's what you want with your 16-year-olds. Not people who are not quite breaking into the first team, but staying around on contracts because it isn't quite happening.

Lol as if chuks scored nor assist against Madrid or Barca ,so Barca and Madrid are this big sha

Chuks is not bad ,but sorry all our wingers have been average at best

You failed when you refused to mention moses Simon ,he was clearly your best winger in Europe ,but you choose to mention below average Kalu and onyekuru who is just trying to get back to his best

Why won’t you call Simon ? Is it not double standard ,I know most of you don’t like Simon so am not suprised you didn’t mention him because your favorites are not even doing well


Farabale and remove sentiment okay

Them know for their mind but they can’t admit

Edopesin:

Well he is good at winning lost ball possession in case you haven't noticed
Besides he didn't say anything about impact though

How does 'being everywhere on the field' equal EFFECTIVENESS, since u're uncomfortable with IMPACT?

by IMPACT, U mean?

How effective does he usually seem to be?

Vince was a respected man. People would have always taken his side. Considering his ma.

And Oliseh. WTH? What does he mean by he needed a captain he could count on in the long run? What kinda lame excuse is that?

So cos Iniesta was retiring that year meant the coach to strip off his captainship? I'm still trying to get the logic behind it.

Vince was emotional, he was disrespected, yes. But the coach was merely trying to stamp his authority. So that no one would take him for a ride.


If he could treat Vince like that, then he could treat anyone else

Iol.. You actually take some things you read here so seriously?.. Players that are not even mature o!

Who are they, compared to the Victor Moses that we've known?.. They've got a lot of growing up to do, actually.

Note, this does not in anyway mean I'm asking for a recall of an already retired Victor Moses. I'm just being truthful here!

Luckily for us,neither Moses nor Ighalo are interested in coming back to the national team..
They have contributed their part...let them enjoy their retirement at their "elite teams" while we deal with the younger players we have here...
Other players had to make way for Moses and Ighalo to shine,they should return the favour and make way for other players too...

Moses might not necessarily walk into the first 11. There is more competition for his place.

If Moses can easily walk back into the starting 11, then we have not made progress with the NT

Super Eagles coach Rohr hits back at demands to use Nigeria-based players

COLIN UDOH



At 66 years old, the Nigeria coach has seen and experienced just about all there is to be seen and experienced. Attempts to rile him, whether contrived or not, continue to fall flat in the face of his measured disposition.

Throughout his tenure as Super Eagles coach, and in recent weeks, there have been calls for him to select more Nigeria-based players in the national team; but Rohr shut that down, telling ESPN in a lengthy interview that the country's best players are in Europe not Nigeria,

"We cannot find all the time players in the local league who are better than the other ones," Rohr told ESPN.

The criterion for us, the first criteria is the quality of the players. Everybody knows, not only in Nigeria, that the best players are in Europe or somewhere else in professional leagues. That is the fact."

As true as that statement may be, it is bound to put Rohr firmly in the line of fire with critics. As if he were not already the centre of attention.

With football -- like other sports -- on a coronavirus-enforced pause, few topics have dominated Nigerian sporting discussion as much as the Super Eagles coach, his contract, his technical abilities (or perceived lack of), and everything else in between.

Early this week, Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) president Amaju Pinnick stoked those fires in a television interview in which he disclosed certain conditions in the new contract to be offered to the coach.

In typical style, Rohr doused that particular fire in a quick reaction to ESPN, but it did not quite seem to be enough to address the other issues.

Among those issues were the NFF's recent decision to fire Imama Amapakabo, one of Rohr's more trusty assistants, and replace him with the inexperienced former Nigeria captain Jospeh Yobo.

Both the manner of the decision (without the coach being consulted) and the speed of it, not to mention the relative lack of certification of the replacement, would have been enough to rile any other coach.

Not Rohr

"It is interesting to have such a former player with us," Rohr said.

"I was satisfied with the job of Imama. He was a very good assistant. But NFF decided to change so I have to accept, and I accept. I see that this person now is in a good spirit and I am happy about it. There will not be any problem in our staff.

"I think it only could be so easy to say let's do two years more. Nothing special from my side that I want more. So it could be very easy."

To demonstrate his lack of ill-feeling, Rohr said he had already put the newest addition to his staff to work

"We spoke together; he gave me a first call and then I called him back and we are in touch regularly. I even asked him to help me already because I cannot move for the moment to take connections and contact our players in Nigeria.

"I asked him to meet and speak with Ikechukwu Ezenwa, with Ifeanyi Ifeanyi who was with us for one of the last games. There is also Samuel Kalu, who is also in Lagos because he was able to take one of the last planes out of France. So I asked him to be in touch with some of our players who are in Nigeria, and that is what he did.

"I am happy to see that he has good motivation and is in good spirits and I think we can have a good working relationship together."

Ezenwa and Ifeanyi -- whom Yobo will be monitoring on Rohr's behalf -- are part of the German's rebuttal to suggestions that he does not give players from Nigeria's domestic league a chance in his national squad.

Ezenwa has been a permanent fixture of Rohr's squad from the get go, and he was even first-choice goalkeeper for the majority of the 2018 FIFA World Cup qualifiers. Ifeanyi was called up for games while was an Akwa United player before he left for Europe.

Rohr pointed out that the numbers back him up, if not the players who run off after call-ups.

"I invited already more than 23 or 24 local players since I have been in charge of the Super Eagles," he said, adding with a slight chuckle, "but we invite them and then immediately they are going to Europe. It is wonderful for them but maybe not for us."

With the B Super Eagles team, which is comprised of domestic league players, failing to qualify for the Africa Nations Championships (CHAN), a tournament for players who play in their country, Rohr said his job had been made more difficult.

"CHAN team and under-20 team must play all the time. The coaches who are responsible for these teams, must work with me together. And normally the best of the league are in either CHAN or under-20 or under-17."

And Rohr says he still has his scouts looking for young prospects in the country, and advises the league clubs to look to the academies for talent.

"I think they should also look at the academy to find the best young players. This could be a new chapter of this next future. That is why I have also my assistants like Victor Agali, like Alloy Agu, who are watching for me, looking for players in the local league. Especially for the goalkeepers, for Alloy to bring me goalkeepers from the league."

Young players have always been Rohr's focus in his time as Nigeria coach.

At the 2018 FIFA World Cup, Nigeria had the youngest squad. At the Africa Cup of Nations a year later, the team were the second youngest, and the German says it was deliberate.

With players such as Victor Osimhen, Samuel Chukwueze, Francis Uzoho and Wilfred Ndidi growing into leading roles with the team, Rohr says the next step on the ladder is the development of a uniform playing philosophy that cuts across all the national teams.

"I don't know now how the NFF will organize it but there must be a good collaboration between us with under-23, with under-20, with the under-1 -- and even with the women's team. I had a good solidarity with the women's coach before [Thomas Dennerby] but now he is gone.

"This unity [is something] we need to have in our different teams. To go in the same direction, to play with the same philosophy. The philosophy is to play offensive football with good wingers, with quickness with strikers, young players but also experienced players, too.

"We have good players, great players, young players. Now let us have football that plays well with their talent. Let us lay a good foundation from the back, and then go forward quickly to find our wingers. Then I think we have a good chance to go to the World Cup again and do better than the last time.

"We can do also the same for the local team.

"You know they are not playing the Afcon but there is a lot of things to do for them, to get right the playing philosophy the same as the others. But I am not the coach for the local team. The coach was before my assistant, and we had good work together. Now we have to see what happens."

For the here and now, though, Rohr has an immediate concern. The potential fixture congestion that will follow the end of the coronavirus pandemic.

"When you see the calendar which will come, there will be so many games in the second half of the year. And already decisive games for the World Cup will start in the end of the year. The qualification for Afcon, too, will have to finish before.

"So there will be so many games. Next year, I saw the calendar, perhaps we will have around 20 games.

"If we are in the Afcon, and I think we can do it, we will have one or two friendlies to prepare and then I hope seven games again until the finals. Small final and big final, could be nine games. And then you have the World Cup qualifiers; can be 10. A friendly again or two, 11. A lot of matches to come in a small time.

"This is why it is necessary to know everybody, to talk to the players regularly, because there is no time to make new experiences, to make a test or experiments with new players for something like that."

For now though, none of that matters with COVID 19 still in the air.

Its not matter of i get am before, how are your current wingers doing in their club side?

Yes i dont want him back and moses didnt say he wanna come back, that guy was spreading fake news

But dont make it look like your wingers have been superb

I have been impressed by moses simon and ejuke so far this season

Two Premier League clubs in the shape of West Ham and Crystal Palace have joined the race for the signature of in demand Super Eagles striker Josh Maja.

The online edition of The Sun UK is reporting that the two clubs are battle ready to slug it out with the potential suitors of the Bordeaux ace for his services this summer.

Maja 21, has seen his profile burgeon in the French top flight this season, having been involved in 11 goals (8 goals, 3 assists) from 24 games across all competitions.

Formerly with Sunderland in the United Kingdom, West Ham and Palace were reportedly interested in recruiting the Nigerian during his eventful stint at the Stadium of Light but their advances came to nought.

Scottish Premiership side Rangers are also exploring ways of snapping up Maja in the next transfer window, and the jostle could see Bordeaux hold out for at least 10 million pounds.

He is contracted with the Ligue 1 club until the end of the 2022-2023 campaign.
