if he can start for Madrid, then we don't have hope. Good luck to him. another Spainsh youngster in the making.

andrewbaba44:
Say this one go play for naija

TheSuperNerd:
Well, will he also play for Spain? He has a Naija dad, korean mum and was born in Spain. So time will tell.


Was it not Amad Diallo the other day who turned down Italy U-21 call-up recently? The lad made it clear that playing for CIV has been his big dream.

And this is coming after he signed for Man Utd. A Giant in Club football. That kid Amad Diallo just earned more of my respect.

Na this kain scenario I dey wait for as regards a Naija talent with dual nationality walking into a big club and still choosing Nigeria. Mehn... That day will be lit because it will take guts to turn down nations like England, Italy, Spain, France or any other big nation while at a big club for an African team like Nigeria.

andrewbaba44:
I like what diallo did but same can’t be said of our naija foreign born playing for a big club and you know this

As you already said time will tell jare

Make we just sit down Dey look

TheSuperNerd:
As in ehn Andy... E go hard. Infact na Mission impossible 9. Lol.

But if that day will ever come... I wanna see it so badly. Who go get such mind. You are a player who just got signed for Real Madrid or Barca or Man Utd or maybe Bayern or Liverpool. Just taking these five big Clubs as examples and you are eligible for Nigeria or Italy/France/England and you choose Nigeria. Kaaaiii... Omo. That day fit come? Lol

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.

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.

BascoVanVeli:
Yes he would have to really grab his opportunity but that is a possibility.

Lol @ Rohr with his inshallah but I think his problem is more in game tactics because he normally sets up well for starters. It is just when backs get against the wall that he can't truly be counted upon.

I think Osimhen can also play on the left wing to accommodate someone like Onuachu.

. Exactly, not just osimehn but numerous players. I personally think that the coach and fans are discriminating against him due to his Age. If the guy was younger, I feel like people will be salivating over him like they're doing to the king of gala. My own is that we must be partial, fair and consistent

Osimehn on the wings for onuachu? Madness. As long as SE don't have good crossers of the ball, onuachu will be pointless in SE set up. We're better investing in terem or Sadiq as osimehn back up. The coach should never play his best striker at the wings

BascoVanVeli:
Quick question, if Rohr brings back Ighalo where do u think he will put Victor? What did Rohr introduce Victor to the national team as?

Ok moving on, Onuachu is not just an header of the ball. Most of his club goals are with his feet. His only goal for us was with his feet. He is one of the leading strikers in Europe. It is an obligation to mention his name when u are talking about Nigerian strikers.

Osimhen can thrive on the wings because of his pace, hard work and decision making. Him playing on the wings will not take anything away from his goal scoring, it rather adds another goal scorer to the fray.

12large1:
First of all, if ighalo returns back to SE, he is coming in as an experienced "Squad player" definitely not starting ahead of Osimehn except the coach introduce a 2 Strikers formation. In reference to onuachu, yes, he is the top scorer at his club but let's be honest, the guy has had only 1 good game out of 9 and if he follows the same trajectory, nothing will Change. You simply do not Utilize your best Striker on the wings because you want to accommodate another striker that way, your team won't capitalize on their potential. As for onuachu, most of his goals this season are Headers and Tap-ins (Not Bad at all) but the best way to utilize him is to find Great crossers of the ball and anything contrary, you're wasting your time. We should also keep an eye on Terem and Sadiq those 2 Guys looks like an upcoming talent. Honestly, Strikers is the least of SE problems

He will do better than uzoho and maduka okoye combined

Meanwhile, reports emanating out of Italy since yesterday indicate Osimhen is likely to start today for Napoli in their Coppa Italia Semifinals second leg.

No Koulibaly. No Manolas. No Mertens. A really tough match ahead for Osimhen's likely first start since his comeback.

Game's in 5 hours and 42 mins from now.
