He is not a Super Eagles material. Forget club performance. We have seen him in the Green jerseys enough to know his quality cannot bring him near the Super Eagles so long as Rohr is still in charge.

Nigeria Olympic Star Amuzie Gets First Team Squad Number At Sampdoria




The left full back of the Nigeria Rio 2016 team
Stanley Amuzie has been officially promoted to
the first team of Serie A side Sampdoria, and could make his debut soon after picking up a first team squad number.


Amuzie joined Sampdoria in the summer from
Portuguese second division side Olhanense, but
he has been restricted to playing games for the
Primavera side although he has made the bench
for the main team in league games.


However it appears all of that is about to change after the full back was handed a first team squad number in jersey number 3. A number he proudly dispayed on his official facebook wall.


He is in contention to play for the first team when they take on Sassuolo, this afternoon at their home ground, the Stadio Luigi Ferraris Stadium.

The former Flying Sports Football Academy of
Lagos graduate has two senior caps for Nigeria,
and played in all of the games for the U23s at the Rio 2016 Olympics.

What? Sampdoria number 3. Congrats man. Deserves call-up I beg. Instead of all these guys who feel one foreign National team might have Mercy on them.

He was in Rohr's first squad, Rohr has had a look at him before...Let him first start playing regularly for Sampdoria and force a recall.

lexyman:



Are you sure u ve been following the super eagles ? Odion Ighalo has not been impressive , going by the number of appearances for the club and country .... what is the usefulness of a striker if he can score goals ?

TheGoodJoe:


Step by step. He got the 3 Jersey. That is huge. I have no problem with Rohr wanting him to play regularly but from reports, Ebuehi does not play regularly too.

Na so u dey place ur calls? Let him at least touch a ball first na.

tbaba1234:


Nothing huge about the Jersey number... Right now, he is not the first choice left back. That is the important thing. He has been on the bench for a few games so i do not think the jersey number is news...

TheGoodJoe:

I do think it is news. It shows how valuable he is to the club. First team Jersey shows respect.

tbaba1234:


I think every player has the right to choose who he wants to play for... For every Sidney Sam, Agbonlahor and Onuoha, we have Victor moses, Anichebe, Leon Balogun, Ikeme etc who chose Nigeria first.

From all indications, Ebuehi will play for Nigeria. He is still a kid and does not see think, he is ready for the challenge. There are still several options, Ola Aina, Idowu, Musa Muhammad (If he can get a club) are all possible choices.

Icon4s:


I have followed Kayode since after he featured at U17.

I had preferred him to Sadiq Umar for the Olympics. But as usual Siasia with his teams selections.

As for the Super Eagles let us see him in any of the friendlies. I understand Rohr may invite him for the Egypt friendly in January of which the timing might not be right for our foreign based players.

Kayode is 23 and I believe he belongs to this generation. Lets give him a trial.

However, i am not expecting too much from him. Players like Ighalo and Success would also have flourished in that same Austrian league.

CC; Sir Forgiveness.
How Market na

To think these are the unpatriotic players you want us to drop or regular and commited players for is very heartbreaking.

And I just be like.........

Hapoel Be’er Sheva Nwakaeme Set To Be
Handed Shock Call Up To Super Eagles By Rohr



According to reports exclusively gathered by
Owngoalnigeria.com Hapoel Be’er Sheva forward
Anthony Nwakaeme could be handed a call up to the Nigeria senior national team for their
upcoming friendly games.

Coach Gernot Rohr has been monitoring the
performances of the of the 27 year old in Israel,
and going by his fine form in the Europa League
and in the domestic league, Rohr could hand him a call up.


The coach took a liking to the forward after
watching him in an Europa League game and
penciled him down as one of the players, he
would call up in the future.


Yesterday Nwakaeme took his goal tally for the
Israeli side to six for the season, netting in their
5-1 thrashing of Hapoel Haifa in an Israeli league
game.

Already his club teammate John Ogu has been
handed a recall to the team, but if Nwakaeme is
called up, it will be the first team he has been
called up to the Nigeria squad at any level.

I don't know if Ighalo and Success would have done better than him but I've watched Kayode from the U17s to the U20.
In WYC in held in Turkey, he was our stand out player.

Most of his mates from that team are currently in the super Eagles, players like Moses Simon, Wilfred Ndidi, Kingsley Madu, Shehu Abdulahi, Aminu Umar. In 2013 at that tournament, Kayode was a bigger talent and almost propelled the team on his own in that tournament.

One thing I like about Kayode is his competitive spirit, hard work and never say die attitude which have which have seen him get to his current levels.
At 16,he left home to sign up at the Asec academy. Not many teenagers will leave home to an unknown African country with language barriers to play football at such age.
Even when he had paper issues in Israel, he still didn't drop his head. I give him top marks for his hard work ethics. We need players with such mentality to propel the super eagles in Russia and especially in Qatar where I expect us to capture the trophy.

@first bolded..... You are "100, 000%" right on this. Spot on! Kayode DOES NOT KNOW HOW TO GIVE UP! (He may miss a lotta chances in a game but dude knows how to dust himself up and keep going). A BORN FIGHTER SINCE THE U-17s....... And he's improved no doubt. January 9th is his chance to make himself relevant in this Rising new era for Nigerian football.... The dawn of our second super golden generation...

@second bolded.... Especially at Qatar 2022. This is the dream... Russia 2018 to break the Round-of-16 bus-stop hoodoo and Qatar 2022 to hit the bull's eye itself... DALUNG!!!!! This is what you wanna destroy?!! *smh*

Exactly, the world cup in Russia should be somewhat of a dress rehearsal for the assault in Qatar.
Just like the Germans did, using the 2006/2010 world cup to build a team that went all the way in Brazil.
I so much believe we can go all the way in Qatar. The climatic conditions and the neutrality of the venue (not being in Europe or South America), its a perfect stage for us to grab the thing.
Looking forward, I don't know if Gernot Rohr will be the man to lead us to Qatar not because of competence but age(he will be well over 70 in 2022).
I see Rohr as the Moses who will lay a solid foundation for the next man to lead us to the promised land.
