komekn:then he should rest in his house and allow people who still have young careers to use the Super Eagles to grow. He doesn't need the team, so why the hell is anyone forcing him on a team that CLEARLY does not need him as well? 2 Likes |

Icon4s:In football world there are terms we used that only us can interprete it and the term OLDEST used by GOKE7 was for longest serving player. I did not need anybody to tell me that before i know what he was trying to say. Truly he should have used longest but in this forum it's simple for us to understand. I don't think we need to debate it cos it's common in our opened arguments we always says he is the oldest meaning longest. Agreed on your point. |

Icon4s: you have just cleared my doubt , i wanted to ask you about the case of Mikel in his club , , they considere him to be the captain based on his experience in the game ... alot of factors determines who shoulder the team .... sometimes it has to do with someone with a lot of influence . a typical example of such captain is late Stephen Keshi . |

Na so dem tell us say Odemwingie wan do charity for NFF in 2014. There is NO active player that will not want to join a team for the World Cup, if today you tell Gareth Bale that he can join the Nigerian team for the Wold Cup, he will join. So, why is someone making Martins out to be one honest, humble guy that wants to offer his service to help a supposedly weak team?

forgiveness:I do not argue to win arguments, I argue to learn. I'm of the opinion that Ike uche did nothing special when he was invited, I presented my facts, if you have a superior argument, present it and stop harping on one penalty goal like a broken record. Ike uche played against congo, Emenike earned a penalty, ike uche stepped up and scored. Without uche that penalty would have been earned, without uche, there is a high probability the penalty would have been converted. In the second half, Aaron Samuel was introduced and he scored. Without uche he would have still scored In the game against south Africa Sone Aluko scored 2 brilliant goals. Without uche he would have scored. So what exactly was the special thing uche did that we would not have done without him? He simply did not live up to the hype. Before his invitation, he was hyped as the prince that was promised, the press rolled out the red carpet, poets sang his praise, women from otueke to chibok threatened to protest naked if he wasn't invited. This was the kind of hype uche rode on to the Super Eagles camp, with that kind of hype he should be singlehandedly winning us 3 points but alas the only thing we remember him for is scoring a penalty he did not earn. Lecture me on how Ike uche swung in like super man and single-handedly qualify us for the nations cup. Speak, oh yea wise one, I am listening. 4 Likes |

forgiveness: Iheanacho as a young player can still be pardoned but not a player of martins status. Why? Iheanacho still has a lot of years to play for the Eagles but not martins who is close to retirement. we can't afford a trial and error with martins for now when we have hungry younger players who are looking for just 10 mins, how much chance have we given to the likes of kayode and onyekuru before we talk about martins.

Goke7: Martins came in before Mikel. But Mikel has stayed longest in the team by virtue of his number of appearances. Martins has been on and off. But also Ogbeche came in before Enyeama and if Ogbeche makes the team who would you say is more Senior between him and Enyeama? |

Kog45:There's nothing more delicate for us to guide than the team spirit. We can fail tactically on the pitch and still win matches but if we fail in maintaining the team spirit we will achieve nothing even if we have Gaurdiola as our coach. France in 2010 WC, Italy in Euro 2008, Ghana, Nigeria and Cameroun have suffered from disaffection that destroys harmony in the team. We cannot afford to make that mistake again. That being said does Martins have a record of insubordination like the rest you have mentioned? I feel Rohr will invite him to assuage his supporters but still drop him for the final cut. But question is what if he performs well? 7 Likes |

How can you call a very young player a flop just because he didn't perform in his first game for Super Eagles ? You can say he didn't live up to expectations or underperformed but a "flop". So much hate and its very disgusting. 5 Likes |

Mujtahida: Martins got issues with Eguavoen for failing to turn up for a particular tie if I remember well. Truth is the coaches and the nff still knows this players more than us on this forum, the fact that we hardly hear in in the media does not mean stuff don't happen in the team off the pitch even wikipedia has it on record where martins failed to turn up for some matches despite being invited. Some off the pitch issues in the past with nff officials especially in a match against Namibia if I remember is one major reason no nff official will want Enyeama near the eagles ahain and even enyeama himself knows this. I still insist that any player older than mikel both in age, in long serving in the national team and not part of the wcq should be left out for now. 3 Likes |

Goke7: Consider how you are thinking and rationalising motivation and determination. Using your sense of reasoning that means Ronaldo, Messi and Danny Alves after achieving everything they are no longer motivated for excellence. Furthermore that the main determinant of hunger motivation and desire to win is being young. That's waste basket reasoning. Isaac Success had a little money and what happened to his desire to win and succeed ![]() Those are nonsensical propositions with no substance what so ever. |

This issue about Martins should take a serious rest because our success in Russia is not dependent on his invitation neither did he contribute anything to our qualification. So, why all of a sudden news about Martins is circulating like Super Eagles are doing very badly and needed a Martin to save us ? We have everything we need to even win the danm world cup if we work harder and that team spirit must not be tampered with. I know Martins from his early days at Inter Milan and he was phenomenal but its been over ten years and we DO not need his services, as it stands. Why did you not call for his invitation during the primaries and why did you think Rohr sidelined him? Enough with this Obafemi Martins town criers. 5 Likes |
