Omo... If SADIQ Umar makes it, I would be so so glad but I'm not expecting him to make the list for now. Time will tell shaa. Looks like a few details in the list will be altered.
As for Moffi. That's a sure banker.

But ehmmm, how many strikers Rohr wan come invite for main list? Coz Osimhen and Iheanacho are definitely making it.


Meanwhile, Onuachu for Standby after banging in 25 league goals and "Clubless" + "almost 5-6 months inactive" Musa to make Main list? Omo, it better not happen. If not na Chriskels, Andrewbaba44 and Elyte89 I go hand Rohr matter over to. Haba! angry

Rashidi Yekini won APOTY playing in Portuguese second division
That was in 1992/1993 season, but he was the highest goalscorer and one of the best players in 1992 Africa nations cup.

Don't forget, he was the 5th highest goalscorer in Portuguese first division with 13 goals in 1990/1991 season before his team was relegated.

You can't even compare Yekini's situation with Sadiq.

Hmmm.... If off-the-pitch issues persist and Musa is the man who can calm things down with his leadership since all the players respect him, then fine, I will understand.
So his invite will be based purely on non-footballing reasons if he indeed makes the main list. But again, why must a 25-goals Onuachu be the scapegoat to accommodate Musa in the list? Abi Rohr no fit drop one defender to standby? because I know say na defenders go full our list, followed by forwards and then midfielders.

I agree with you on the other strikers stepping up to the plate big time. The team needs that as Osimhen won't play every damn game. I can count on Iheanacho when in form. Onuachu also can provide strong Competition but we also gotta tweak things a bit to play to his strengths when he is involved. In the longer run, I know the likes of SADIQ and Moffi will be valuable additions who will provide keen Competition for Osimhen.

And my good man Chris. Debates are Inevitable with a guy who swims in the waters of English bias whenever a point goes against the school of thought that says "English football is Number 1".

I am a fan of English football myself and follow them even to the League 2 ranks. But I gotta tell ya, EFL Championship no reach La Liga 2. And I am a fan of Spanish, Dutch football and other football schools also. He can bring it on. grin
Well, your personal opinion and it should be respectful though not necessarily correct.

If Umar gets invited over Onuachu then I know the coach is very unreasonable.

U mean you will drop a player with 25 goals and the 3rd highest goalscorer in Europe for a division 2 player? shocked Seriously!

Well, he scored a marvellous goal yesterday to indicate he's gradually working his way back to his best, didn't he?
Has there been an international window since Osimhen took over the #9 jersey from Iggy that has seen Osimhen go barren in all games at club level before a Nigeria game? Answer this please.

Also, what some of you in here must understand is that we have a few positions in the Super Eagles that are settled now.
They are:-

The Undisputed settled roles:

- The #6 position (DM): Ndidi

- The #9 position (ST/CF): Osimhen

- The RW position: Chukwueze

- The #10 (AM) position: Iwobi


The other newly settled roles:

- The GK position: Maduka Okoye (even though I personally think it should be kept open but Rohr has said Okoye is the new first choice. Uzoho is next).

- The LB position: Zaidu Sanusi.

Every other role is still up for grabs. Although Joe Aribo as CM looks settled also but time will tell with the new midfielder arriving later in Ejaria.

In his defence tho Onuachu doesn't fit in with his style, he has given him enough game time but it's not working. Don't forget Onuachu started our first game at Afcon, to say he was dismal is putting it lightly

Number one fact is Eye Test. grin

Go watch the two leagues for yourself "with an open mind" and tell me what you find.

The difference in technical quality is so clear.

Besides La Liga Smartbank is the 2nd tier of the Best League on the planet.
While the EFL Championship is the 2nd tier of the #2 league in the world. So bye. grin

I know all these and I recall I analysed even his outing against Algeria in the friendly where he also didn't cover himself in glory as much. True indeed, he has not been impressive in the attacking setup of the Super Eagles but for the fact he has kept at it at club level firing in 25 league goals. Mehn, I feel he deserves to be rewarded with an invite. He won't start ofcos but honor his efforts with an invite.


Anyway, Rohr himself even admitted to Onuachu's struggles in the Super Eagles when he was interviewed recently and asked about the Striking options.

He said, "....We also have Onuachu who has been scoring lots of goals in Belgium but has his problems when he comes to (playing for) Nigeria".

So Rohr is aware. But even at that, I still think he should be encouraged with an invite.

I have followed Spanish league from the first tier to the fourth tier for more than 10 years because I followed many Nigerian players there then.

Laliga 2 is a very poor league.

Two years ago matter. Please, someone should wake Rohr up and tell him we are in 2021.

Give the boy another chance. Since, he keeps improving everyday. 25 goals is not beans hence should be compensated for his hard work else he demoralises him.

La Liga 2 in 2020/21 and even from last season 2019/20 is nothing of the such. The quality seen there now is way above the quality of the Championship. Simple eye test reveals such.

So biko, no dey use outdated experience of 10 yrs ago to about 3-4yrs back to rate a league that has obviously gotten better in quality and overall technical proficiency.

The Championship is still basically kick and rush football for most sides there. Only few sides there play nice football. This is unlike what is seen in La Liga Smartbank. Again I say, go update yourself and watch the two leagues in the Here and Now. grin
And when I say "watch"... I mean watch more than 30 games of La Liga Smartbank to judge properly. Then see another 30+ of the Championship.

And if you insist La Liga 2 is very poor. Then sadly, it only makes it worse for the Championship. It's very way poorer. Simple.

The Quality of Farmers league isn't the same as the Big 3 hence, you cannot put farmers league scorers in the same bracket as the big 3. Yes, Farmers league scorers are talented and for the future but they must earn it at the Big 3
There is no big 3 rather there is a big 5, German league is as competitive as the Italian league
