And you don't think Ezenwa would have did the same today? How did his saves against Angola compare to Ajiboye's? I'm talking strenght of opposition etc TheSuperNerd: |

oloriooko: Everton tried to stop him from going to Germany but he was dead set on the move. I am proud that the young man elected to leave his comfort zone. I am sure Rohr will have his eye on him 5 Likes 1 Share |

TheSuperNerd: Lol. In Ebuehi’s case, he will fit in nicely in a 3-5-2 or 3-4-3 formation because he has 3 lungs needed for the role. But I’m happy that there is such competition for the GK spots. It will keep all keepers in contention on their toes, and result in very little complacency from them in the upcoming friendlies and training sessions. I believe this is the first major tourney since the 1998 World Cup where no one is really sure about the World Cup-bound goalkeepers. In 1998, the big debate was whether to recall Rufai from semi-retirement or stick with Abiodun Baruwa and Willy Okpara, who both failed to impress in the then pre-WC friendlies. 1 Like |

Some of those our players when dey chop better bench will be allowed to go compete. Nigeria has too many players abroad. But well the policy should not be something that will favor only Nigeria Modified Let’s not also forget some Scandinavian leagues and Asian leagues that run a different calendar somewhat tbaba1234: |

Happy for Ademola Lookman's move... (First reported on the thread by Oasis007 and followed by Oloriooko) RB Leipzig have a strong reputation for building and working with some of the world's finest young talents.

The winger, of Nigerian descent, was rewarded for his superb displays in the youth rank and has become a member of Raphael Wicky's side. He will wear the no. 11 jersey. Okafor, 17, has been with the Swiss Super League side since he was eight, coming through the ranks. He scored twice, laying four others in five Uefa Youth League games with the U19 side this season. Wir haben eine neue Nummer 11 ! Der FCB hat den Vertrag mit seinem Nachwuchsspieler Noah Okafor bis im Sommer 2020 verlängert - Noah gehört ab sofort zum Kader von Cheftrainer Raphael Wicky. Alle Infos: fcb.ch/de-CH/News/201…#FCBasel1893 #zämmestark #rotblaulive 5:13 PM - Jan 31, 2018 17 56 FC Basel 1893 @FCBasel1893 A member of Switzerland U18 side, the youngster is described as a 'very versatile player', according to sporting director Marco Streller. The club's personnel was also excited as the teenager committed his future to the club, despite interests from top European sides. "Noah is a very versatile player, a great talent from our own ranks," said Streller. "Many top clubs in Europe showed a real interest in him, so we are very happy that he has made the commitment to FCB and that we have been able to retain him." Okafor will be looking to help the second-placed Basel retain their league title and also progress past Manchester City in the knockout stage of the Uefa Champions League.

The silent rise of Noah Okafor at Basel. We lost out on Manuel Akanji. I hope we don't lose out on Okafor. He is majorly a LW who also features as a LM and surprisingly a CF. His Stats are mainly from Swiss U-18 elite league games and UEFA Youth league games. He has 8 goals from 12 appearances in the U-18 elite league for Basel. In the UYL, he has 2 goals and 4 assists in 5 appearnaces. In 15 appearances as a LW, his stats read 8 goals and 4 assists. In two appearances as a CF, he has one goal. As an LM, no goal. I say we should keep an eye on Basel's newest no.11 |

Mickael2: Ajiboye is no way rated among the top best goalies in the World. If that is grooming well in your books, no problem. How can you ask about Spanish National team and grooming De Gea. You are clearly off track. Get the point. The Europeans have a system that helps in grooming their top talents. We have been fortunate to have some of our special talent groomed in the same system. Iheanacho is a clear case. Some of our special talents will not have the opportunity to get into such system, and we need to make conscious efforts to help groom and expose them. Ajiboye was outstanding. We do not produce keepers like him regularly but we did not make efforts to help him grow despite his immense talent. We should do more. The point is too simple. Vanzekin is and was no where in talent close to Akpan Bassey, let alone Ajiboye. I wonder why you are bringing him into the picture. 4 Likes |

Based on these three alone (leaving out Alampasu for now), I foresee the arrangement to be this after the competition for places....

I hope you all remember Akpan David Udoh of Amuneke's 2015 U-17 Golden Eaglets team. He is another for the long term future. He is in Israel with Ihud Bnei Sakhnin and features prominently for their U-19. Hoping his growth/Development yields fine fruit. I remember many comparing him to an Enyeama back in Chile 2015. 2 Likes |

If I throw in Alampasu and Rohr gives him just one game... then I think Ezenwa may not be on the plane to Russia because Alampasu will most likely not disappoint. He has been patiently waiting for his turn. I believe we should select and take the best too. I hope Enrico Pionetti does his job and not allow Alloy Agu bring in his politics...

The reports from camp showed that Ajiboye was better. The game yesterday proved the report right. For a long time I have clamored for fairness in selection and that camping results are more accurate than the so called historical, experience, club position sentimental choices. I can not say more than that. 2 Likes |
