Napoleon55:
which best attacking option?
no dey mind people where no always dey tired of hyping.
we only have one striker proven in super eagles currently and one winger,the rest are either not dependable or not proven.

The game against SA will difficult, we will be lucky to come with a slim win or a draw.
but against Benin, if we can't win that comfortably with the players available, we may not qualify.

We cannot sugarcoat it at all. Osimhen will be missed. We hope Boniface and Lookman will step up. Onuachu has no business in that squad.

TheGoodJoe:
Not English. Napoleon55 is right to an extent. With a good preparation, selection and performance in age grade tourneys, we have the opportunity of getting some good/special talents into quality environment for development. This is a good recipe for success and having high quality players in the near future.

We take 23 players to a tournament what percentage eventually makes it? About 15%. Many do not adapt, lack resilience and are frustrated due to lack of playing time and dreams they were sold to make it big time. The same percentage that will make it from the academies. Going to an U17 world cup does not guarantee future “high quality” players. People should not make it sound as if when we miss out of an U17 tournament our future is dead. That is a wrong assumption.

Napoleon55:
Academies selling players has nothing to do with this,
continual missing out out of age grade competition will affect the proper progress of these young players.

Good showing at the world cup will attract better clubs with good developmental programs than the academy players.

All this one na English bros.

komekn:
Which clubs are they selling them too and what leagues and what development framework has been set up and contractually agreed upon.

Or are the then sold and left to their own fate. Once the local academy has got the 🤑 money.

I know a few and I've been personally to a few and it's all about the money. Some will get by even have a career but not all.

I've been to Antwerp and I met so many footballers with dreams never realised 😨 or achieved, washing cars and some resorted to drugs.

At least out of every 20 sold 5 will make it at least.

caprikon:
Missing out of an U_17 world cup will cause a setback to the careers of some of our prodigies. Not sure of the qualification criteria but let the team at least try to finish 3rd, just in case it helps.

Una dey make me laugh..😂 😂😂😂. Academies are selling players every month to clubs abroad. They did not go via the U17 route. Make una relax.

AndSunGorilla:
Etebo.

Na 8 years I ask not 12 years.

opes:
From the list, i only counted 23 players, it should be 25. Maybe two players will still be added.

👍🏾 Good observation.

robosky02:
It's a norm in the past to have some home base players

What's wrong if we have 2

Only 2. For that matter

Of the top of your head… name just one NPFL player in the past 8 years that has gone on to play for SE and established himself in a top 7 league in Europe. It’s a waste of space.

Odunayaw:
NPFL na age grade competition?

The norm is to reduce your age so as to make you more attractive to foreign clubs. Agents and players are in the game together. That is the primary aim of the players and agents. To sign for any club abroad. Whether Enyimba get ambition to win league or qualify for CAF competitions that is not their business. How will the league grow even when those who play in it have other ambitions?

charlesemeka85:
20 years? I no dey put mouf for player age but this one I fit argue am till next year 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

That’s why NPFL no go ever grow until dem stop this age cheat issue. 38 years dey claim 20. Na so so old men full NPFL.

opes:
Bassey is there. Awazien and Ajayi at CB

😂😂😂 Awaziem as centre back? Make Finidi no take that risk.

Darell2002:
All these ones dey cry ontop fake list

who told you its a fake list?

Finidi George is a living legend amongst Ajax fans. Just watched a Dutch movie where his goal against Bayern Munich in the champions league was mentioned with adulation by the fans of Ajax.

charlesemeka85:

🗞️Everton are interested in Luton Town Striker, Elijah Adebayo. Sean Dyche is a big admirer of the 26 year old and sees him as a key addition to his plans.

Everton are expected to step up their interest after player sales

(Source - @TEAMtalk )

In all honesty our number 3 striker.

Oasis007:
I genuinely respect you, your contributions on this board and knowledge of the game. We are humans hence we can't just do away with sentiment(s) at times.

There is absolutely nothing to counter, coz you ain't gonna listen or change your believe on your favourite. I salute others engaging you on the matter.

Una really get time.

TheGoodJoe:
What is the basis of the opinion? No reason. So why will you just draw a negative position against a person for no reason? HATE.

Why are you getting all twisted up in knots This is where I will ignore you.

TheGoodJoe:
Another hate statement against Amunike. You do not know his mind or the actions he would have taken if given the job. By the way, when Osimhen did his first trial with the U17, Amunike was not convinced but his assistant told Amunike that Osimhen was good and deserves a look in. Amunike listened to his assistant and gave Osimhen another chance and the rest was history.

If Amunike was a man filled with pride, he would not have listened to an assistant who opposed his view.

Finito.

please read again… e be like person and he is a person are two different statements. I do not hate. My opinion.

Finish will do very well as SE coach. He was humble enough to admit that he is limited and hired foreign assistants to help him out. He went about getting the job with humility. He will go far. Amokachi will be more of a motivational speaker than coach.
If na Amuneke e for no hire any foreign assistant e be like person wey no like share glory with anybody.

Marjoribanks:
Lookman and Ejuke were omitted here but are actually on the list 25 players! This list might be true afterall!
From Finidi's statement today, that he would only invite players playing regularly and with the inclusion of Akpoguma, I believe this is the list!

I don’t think so. But let’s see what happens next week.

nobaga:
When you are so bitter with bad bele, you are incapable of constructive criticism.

If they know how naira can appreciate from a sorry state, they know why naira is losing value. Until they mop up excess unproductive naira buried in their backyards, bullion vans, volts and those crumbling in their warehouses, naira will never appreciate.

Fooling around the edges curbing the average man transformation in dollars is good as a message about your seriousness.

But the main crooks are the ones that can flush Bureau du Change with buried naira at will.

Get serious!

stark economic illiterate!!! What are you producing as a country? Everything’ is imported!!! The naira appreciated due to reduced demand from importers who had stocked up goods 6 months ahead in January this year!!! The warehouses are almost empty!!! They are back to the official and black markets putting demand pressure!!!

Marjoribanks:
See Haaland! lol!
If it was Osimhen that missed that ...

Missed 2 clear chances… same 2 weeks ago… yet no criticism. The players are all human after all.

Mujtahida:
Even the tortoise reaches home in the long run. Every brand of football has succeeded in winning trophies.

Spain won 2010 world cup through tiki taka, through the same tiki taka Spain perished in 2014 world cup.

May tiki taka perish!

Fc Heidenheim in Germany has the blueprint to kill tiki taka… watch the highlights of their match vs stuttgart and Bayern this season.

charlesemeka85:
HALA FINIDI 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

You dey find some people trouble ooo😂😂😂

elyte89:
But Dey shld av squeezed me in instead ..amokachi wey no come for interview 😏😏

Bro.. I hear say for the interview.. others dey negotiate $40k per month. Dem ask you your salary expectations.. you say “ Anything wey una get I go manage am”.

A whole Lukaku na em Chelsea wan use take do swap for Osimhen and a young player…. Na wa.

elyte89:
This guy can play in d middle for us 😎

Na charlesemeka main man be that.

So after all the time wasting na Finidi dem wan give the job to? Na wa.

Moniter0:
Chelsea has lost her trophy winning form since the Jewish Roman Abramovich left the club. This cannot be ordinary. This was the kind of results Chelsea was getting before Abramovich acquired the club. And even though they "struggled" in some seasons under him, they still miraculously won trophies and became very successful under him.

And guess what? After he was made to go, those people who saw to it also left their offices few months later, the head of Government resigned and the head of State was no more. God didn't take that likely because of his covenant with their Father Abraham.

What are you ranting about? Spirituality and football?
