I don’t rate Dessers but there is no need to bend the rules….Dessers deserves call up based on his performance
Belgian league > Scottish league
So Tolu probably should’ve been invited

I thought Onyedika is playing in Belgian league…..Osimhen scored in Europa yesterday and Dessers scored where?….I remembered Balogun Aribo and Bassey do get call up then playing in the same Scottish league?

Cyril Dessers PR team dey this thread grin
Iheanacho is an asset to the Eagles whether you like it or not
Boy contributes when called up
Before Afcon 2021, people said same about Iheanacho until he showed up against Egypt
So this is no news to me

KC is a waste of space no business being in the SE .

I don't really rate Josh Maja but you cannot argue with his current stats. He is the current second highest goal scorer in the championship with 8 goals after 14 games in the Championship.

KC scored 5 goals after 25 games in the championship last season.

What should be the basis for selection, historical past glories and or current outstanding performance in club and league 😲

Man in form, Cyriel Dessers scored another beautiful goal today in the UEFA Europa League. He now has 9 goals and 4 assists in 19 appearances for Rangers this season. 😎🔥💪

This stat is not impressive sha, considering he's playing in the Scottish league

But VO stats in the Turkish retirement league have now become the benchmark for quality football ⚽.

The hypocrisy and double standard here are limitless.

I Dey wait for Yinkeys response…..sincerely I don’t rate Dessers but telling me he does not deserves eagles based on Scottish league football then he missed it….he brought Arokodare to the discussion but forgot that Onyedika is playing in Belgian league.

National team invitations are not only meant for EPL,la liga,Seria A,bundesliga and Ligue 1

Tbh there’s bias when local coaches are in charge
They’re trying to keep some of the guys that played u17 for Nigeria
Iheanacho, Awoniyi, Chukwueze, Osimhen to be specific
You may be right, some guys may not be called up unless they get a European/foreign manager who would minimize sentiments when enlisting players
I won’t be shocked if a foreigner drops Troost Ekong, but NFF will fight for his position

Umar Sadiq & Victor Olawoyin are the players I don’t think deserve to be invited
I don’t see any issue with the other names
Dele Bashiru has not been playing regularly for Lazio but he’s earned his spot based on South Africa & Libya games

Yes, double standard exist in selection
Unfortunately

You keep overlooking his SE form which is what I've always harped on. Outside Osimhen and Lookman now no other SE player has scored more goals for the national team over the past 3-4 years.

Club form gets you into the national team your performance for your country keeps you there.

I don't know if you have noticed KC has not been in form for over three seasons and has only been in form once in his career in 2021.

Prior to that he has never scored more than 5 league goals in a season since 2016/17

The Turkish league is rated 3 places above the Scottish league in the latest UEFA coefficient,so you have no point..

Circumstances,not choices took Osimhen to Turkey...

Honestly! Arsenal and PSG in particular it was very obvious they needed a big reliable 9 but they were penny pinching.

If it's to buy one unknown Brazilian or Eastern European player for 80m their accountant go loss.

Odunayaw:
Arsenal, Chelsea, PSG

I really don't understand why these clubs never went all out for Osimhen. At least the open states of the season has ruled out any benefit of doubt that those clubs have sense

You know why Osimhen ended with Galatasaray and if he choose to leave by January, good team will come for him. The Spur he bullied yesterday ain't playing in Turkish league, an EPL club.. That speaks of his quality...

Hmmm local coaches?Keshi convinced Balogun,Ekong,Ikeme,Hope Akpan….Siasia gave Iwobi and Anichebe needed opportunities….Bashiru got it rolling under local coach…Semi Ajayi made it through John Obuh…..local coach would have given Eberechi Eze eagles debut that Rohr messed up.
