But there's professional experience in football. That, no one can wash away and make light of. Nwakaeme had 7 yrs of that and still froze on his debut. Unlike Osimhen who came in and did more in five mins than Anthony did in 71. Fact.

Also Chuks just starting at Villarreal professionally did far more in 45 mins on his debut than what Nwakaeme delivered for us in 71mins. And this is the National team. Lots of players/talents keep popping up all over the globe. If one cannot take his chance when given from the start even if in one game, then he only has himself to blame if he never gets called up again.

It's the way NT competition is.

Now remember I said I know One game may never be enough to judge a player but sometimes, that one game is all a Player may have to show us what he's got in the light of rising competition for places in the NT, year in, year out.

If Nwakaeme wanna get Rohr's attention. He should look at what Onuachu is doing. Onuachu is forcing himself into Rohr's plans with his crazy goals scoring in Belgium. He is the best in Belgium.

But is Nwakaeme even the best LW in Turkey? Even Onyekuru right now commands a better goals-game ratio and even he may not have Rohr's attention yet. There is a kind of stats form Nwakaeme will command in Turkey that Rohr won't ignore.
But 6 goals + 4 assists in 19 starts in a league rated below the likes of Holland, Belgium, Russia, Scotland, Austria and even Ukraine won't exactly wow Rohr I'm afraid.
He could only get invited for the March games if we are missing a few other options.
In Nwakaeme's defense the pitch was horrible that day. Plus our wingers have not been setting the world ablaze this season so there could be a chance for him. After all Rohr is still courting Ighalo.

I personally think we should focus more on the fleet of strikers at our disposal. Having 2 or 3 of them on the pitch at the same time wouldn't be such a bad thing.

I understand your point, but so far, the dude has 6 Goals and 4 assists this season and his name hasn't even been mentioned here at all but onyekuru scored 3 goals and became the best thing since slice bread. Anyway, based on this season, he has been SE best winger 6 goals 4 assists and yea, its a lower league but we have to analyze the calibre of goals that the man score. Even last season, the guy scored 14 goals and 5 assist in all competitions. If it was our favorite that did that, this site would had broken. All I am saying is that we should be consistent, fair and partial in our Selection and hyping of our players. We cannot pick and choose when to dismiss a player based on his league vs when to hail a player based on their league. Lastly, based on current form, nwakaeme deserves a Call up to SE
Second time am reading from you that we should fair and partial? This is confusing me, which one you wan make we be sef?

Nwakaeme is a winger and I know rohr won’t call him but Dey talk well next time

Who do we have in our wings that’s so good ?

Talk another thing abeg
Go siddon for bush abeg grin
But you guys normally consider the strength of league naYou have Chuks, Simon, Kalu playing in a top 5 league and you want to call up person wey dey Turkish league?
To be sincere, Nwakaeme should have got another chance. Maybe we discard him too early, who knows.
But 12large made it look as if we are hyping Onyekuru and sidelining Tony which is wrong. Both dey Turkish league and Onyekuru is better than Nwakaeme as far as Turkish league is concerned.. I stand to be corrected though.
Na Onyekuru we suppose dey recommend sef.

Same kalu simon was called while playing at belgium ba but nwakaeme cant be called from turkey ba

If you follow my comments you will get my point because i was speak of his past 3 season good performance

Onyekuru has played for the eagles despite limited opportunities as rohr doesnt rate the turkish league

Onyekuru has played for the eagles from the turkish league, we are talking about nwakaeme not given a chance then

. Yes, personally I feel that we're super stacked at that Wing position and I could even care less if neakaeme is called because my favorite Ejuke can't even make our 11. Wetin pics me off na how everyone come dey salivate over onyekuru for scoring 3 goals when anoda man don dey score for 2 seasons lol. All we're saying is be partial and Fair in selection/favortism
Seriously, you have no point. Kuku tell us say Nwakaeme na your family member grin Onyekuru returned to turkey after his dry spell in Monaco and immediately netted 3 goals in 2 games... this was what raised eyebrows not that we are hyping him.
BTW how can someone be partial and fair at the same time? Tell us.

The price paid for the Isaac Success transfer (15 million Euros or so) was possibly taken into consideration as among the top 5-10% for the club in that transfer window plus the fact that Success was coming from a Band 1 league in La liga. Unlike Dennis was looking to come from Belgium (rated Band 2) to the EPL.

But if Dennis keeps featuring regularly for Koln this season, then an EPL move us possible if such offers come his way.

andrewbaba44:
That’s true ooo work permit issues

But please remind me on how Isaac success own was done ?

How many minutes did both played? Onyekuru and Tony are in the same group as far as playing time in GWG is concerned so I don't know your point exactly.
When Simon was called from Belgium, how many decent wingers did we have in the top 5 league then ?
Go sit down for bush abeg grin

Yes, Nwakaeme could get a chance in the absence of a few of our regulars but I don't see how he would get in when everyone is available unless he improves on his stats-count to really get Rohr's attention.
Even stats in Scotland are taken more seriously now than in Turkey based on their current league ratings.

As for Rohr and Iggy Romance... That one na their business. grin

And yeah, we could have two of our strikers on the pitch at the same time but will a Rohr that tactically surrendered a 4-0 lead to small Sierra Leone suddenly pop with the system that will fit in two/three strikers working in fine harmony? I really doubt it. Looks like the best of his tactical acumen is limited to playing with just one striker flanked by wingers and a Creative Midfield player. That and inshallah is Rohr's way. grin
