I thought Awoniyi is playing in bundesliga and with five goals so far he has done well.

I thought Akpom and Sadiq are division two players so for now they should not be mentioned on the same page with Awoniyi.

Ugbo Abi even his senior Onuachu still remain a poor striker for eagles despite tearing Belgium league apart with goals every week.

There is no need talking much on Ugbo cos his switch may take years just like Lookman and Ejaria.

None of those players have played for the SE, apart from Onuachu, so we can't tell if they'llbe good or bad, my emphasis was on this season's performance so far. Even Osimhen played and tore the Belgian league apart with goals and he is still doing well in the SE. Awoniyi also did well in Belgium, regarding the switch Lookman and Ejaria's switch could be finalized in a couple of months.
The most important thing is that Ugbo who is doing well at the moment has expressed interest in playing for us and so is a decent prospect, it's not like we have a luxury of strikers to pick from.
We all witnessed and could easily have predicted the result of the second leg game against Sierra Leone when Osimhen was unavailable. Any decent option is a welcome development.

This too shall pass...

For all those trying to use this opportunity to talk down on victor's achievements, please let's stop this 'pull him down' mentality we usually have in this country when we see our fellow country man at the top.

Victor needs nothing but our support at this trying period. None of these has been his fault. First of, he got injured while on active duty for us and now corona... I personally pray for his quick recovery and hope we see him back in action soonest

Victor just need to calm down cos the transfer fee was huge and Napoli fans expectations are high,so better for him to avoid unnecessary distractions.

I saw his birthday party picture posted by one his close friends and his explanation on the said party wasn't convincing enough.

He is a young man that has it all to be great so is left for him to adjust very well cos I remember his outburst against Punch newspaper which he later apologized.

I wish him quick recovery.

Kog45:
Yes in term of goals but I will take EPL,La Liga,Seria A and bundesliga five or more goals scorer over Belgium ten goals scorer...my opinion.

Even me too, but how many do we have in those leagues?

Please we can't just keep suggesting any tom jack and Harry for Super eagles until they're better than the incumbent or proven themselves at a higher league than what we have. Uche agbo might be a talent for the future, but presently, by the virtue of his league, he isn't needed.

Karlovich:

10 league goals in Epl, Seria and la liga is more valuable than 30 league goals at belgium league. Bundesliga to me is 50/50 I think they're also a farmers league but there's bayern Munich that holds weight

Karlovich:
He has done better than Awoniyi and Akpom.

I am guessing the rules have changed again and Belgium is now equal to the championship and Bundesliga

Yeah

Karlovich:
The Belgian league is not a mediocre league and it's not like we have strikers firing on all angles in Italy, Spain, England, Germany or kept an Mbappe or Haaland somewhere. For striking options Ugbo has done better than Awoniyi and Akpom this season.

Are Awoniyi and Akpom our second choice strikers? They don't even make the team besides Awoniyi has been injured for a while and he has 5 goals in a higher rated league

My point is he has to do better than he's doing to even be considered for a call up

Nomyth:


Yeah

My boy, you sef they browse this thread??"

Nice one bros

andrewbaba44:


Name the alot of English stars that did well there ,I need proof ,you said they all did well

Farmers league but yet your English league went to pay 80 million to get harvetz that should not be worth more than 40 million

You think Bayern will pay 80 million for any epl player ,the so called better league

If I list German players wey do well for epl you go run Walai

Sancho
matondo
Reece Oxford
lookman
Jude bellingham
reiss nelson
Emile Smith Rowe
nketiah
just a few, now let me see your list

Yet Eberechi Eze is still nursing his frivolous dream of playing for England when he could have easily picked a green white green shirt. He needs to go consult with Tomori who is languishing on Chelsea bench with his butt mould

Yachambliss:
World cup dreams

U guys don't want to come into reality dt deres something called fulfilment...to some of dese players it is a long life dream to put on dt "white England jersey" just for few minutes under deir belt Dan winning major trophies with S.E

BascoVanVeli:
U buy good player u get good results. Godwin Aguda and Ifeanyi Anemena will lead Rivers United to the trophy and they will be a big headache in the continent.

What wing do these guys play?, do you think they are super eagles material?

Toylove:

What wing do these guys play?, do you think they are super eagles material?

Aguda is an AMF that can also be deployed on the wings while Anaemena is a big strong no nonsense center back.

I don't think they will look out of place with the super eagles especially Anaemena who would add toughness to the side.

oloriooko:

It isn't frivolous tbh. He is good enough to play for them but they might end up treating him like Wilf Zaha.

Toylove, as if basco will have a contrary opinion, we have seen it time without number that when ever we invite these homebase to the national team there always use it as a stepping stone to europe.

I think Rohr needs an assistant who is experienced and conversant with our local football.
Salisu Yusuf should have been his assistant and if not for the ban it will be Siasia.
The players you just mentioned will add creativity to our midfield and rugedity to our defense

The national team is a mixture of
1. Foreign based players (Victor Osimhen, Samuel Chukwueze etc)
2. Foreign born players ( Leon Balogun, Iwobi etc)
3. Players from our local league (like Aguda and co)
4. Youth players (players like Samson Tijani, Akinkunmi amoo etc)

What we need is a coach that will blend all these together and form a winning team.
You do not marginalize one set of players, rather you synthesize all of them together.
I wish Siasia was around.
Siasia know how to do well in competitions like chan, u20 etc and he knows how to use and blend our
local based players with our foreign players.

The issue is that each player brings along their style of play and will be needed at anytime.
You need EVERYBODY and not just one set of people.

Tamunotonye22:



Sancho
matondo
Reece Oxford
lookman
Jude bellingham
reiss nelson
Emile Smith Rowe
nketiah
just a few, now let me see your list

Nketiah has never played in Bundesliga
Smith Rowe was mostly injured during his spell at Leipzig
Sancho and Jude Bellingham are the guaranteed successes on your list.
Lookman did well first spell but got benched in his second spell.
Reece Oxford has been okay and is only starting to find his feet again recently.
Don't know too much about Matondo.

fiorentina interested in kingsley ehizibue

Wow so lookman did well at leipzig ,someone that was always benched ,we don’t know why thou ,remove lookman

Émile Smith rowe that didn’t get a chance a leipzig na him you Dey mention ? Better comot him name for there



Ethan Ampadu didn’t do well at Germany
Lookman didn’t do well at Germany
Lewis baker didn’t do well at Germany
Kennan chigozie Bennetts hasn’t done well with first team football at Germany

Ryan Kent didn’t do well at Germany
Mandela egbo
Kaylen hinds

If I begin call German players wey do well for epl na brutality I give you be that

how many of our strikers have the 10 league goals in those leagues, none.

BascoVanVeli:



I am guessing the rules have changed again and Belgium is now equal to the championship and Bundesliga

which rules, so are you saying someone that has 5 goals in the championship or Bundesliga is better than someone that has 10 league goals in the Belgian first division?

Subzero047:


Are Awoniyi and Akpom our second choice strikers? They don't even make the team besides Awoniyi has been injured for a while and he has 5 goals in a higher rated league

My point is he has to do better than he's doing to even be considered for a call up

the second strikers we had, how have they performed when they had the chance? We all witnessed our games last year when Osimhen wasn't around.
Any striker currently doing well in Europe should be considered including Awoniyi, Akpom or Ugbo. Onuachu is doing so well in Belgium which is a decent league by the way but hasn't done so in SE but Osimhen also was great in Belgium and translated such form so far in the eagles.
Saying that Ugbo shouldn't because of the league he plays in makes me wonder if we have a Haaland, Neymar or Benzema we kept somewhere in a higher league.
The Ejuke I expected to make a move from the Netherlands to a much more higher league chose to go to Russia which almost the same with the Dutch league and hasn't replicated his form in the Netherlands there.

Which incumbent have been excellent in the SE apart from Osimhen? We all witnessed the 4 games we played last year, unless you are suggesting we list only Osimhen as our CF in upcoming national team squads.

Cyriel Dessers that was the top scorer in the Dutch league has not even gotten any chance in the SE, same with Nwakaeme even Simmy Nwankwo, the SE has gone past the experimental stage any striker looking for a chance should be doing more than 10 goals in a Belgian league

jieta:
Toylove, as if basco will have a contrary opinion, we have seen it time without number that when ever we invite these homebase to the national team there always use it as a stepping stone to europe.

So basically until they show lack of ambition u don't want them invited? These are two of the highest paid players in the country, they won't leave unless it's an offer they can't refuse.

Exactly. U can't win with only one type of player. U need the right mixture of all to make something happen.

Very big lie.

Karlovich:
The players you mentioned, Ugbo has been better than them this season.

What do you mean by better, because he has scored more goals in a lesser league?

Besides he's not at the required level yet so his call up is out of the discussion
