I repeat, if(when) Ebere Eze moves to a epl club - he is gone. Southgate will cap him before we can blink. This same Southgate capped Solanke who had little to no game time...what makes you think he'll wait for Nigeria to call Eze?
This was a very well calculated move from England. Rohr fanboys will look for all the excuses in the world to justify this buffoonery.
I don't think that guy learnt anything from the world cup. He's already back to playing Ndidi - Onazi as a pivot. I tire for that guy.

charlesemeka85:
Sunderland forward Josh Maja is reportedly a summer transfer target for three Premier League clubs.

The 19-year-old forward has made a blistering start to the season scoring nine goals in 12 League One matches.


Maja's goals have fired Sunderland up to third in the League One table and he currently sits top of the divisions goalscoring chart.

Unsurprisingly, his form has attracted potential suitors and a report in The Mirror this morning cites Southampton, Tottenham and reigning Premier League champions Manchester City as interested parties.

Maja is out of contract in the summer and if the Black Cats cannot tie him down to a new deal soon, they run the risk of losing him for a small compensation fee.

It is one of Sunderland's top priorities to sort out Maja's future with both the club and Jack Ross stating they want him to stay beyond this season.

Maja himself has admitted he would be open to negotiate a new deal but with big clubs sniffing, he is free to talk to other clubs in January before potentially leaving at the end of the season.

Speaking last month, he said: "It would help everybody if we could get a resolution before January.

"For the club and for him, it would help. You want the removal of any uncertainty, and if we can do that as a club it would help us and help Josh as well.



"Naturally his start to the season has just heightened the attention around him, so we want to make sure he stays here at Sunderland and that he plays a part in the clubs' ambitions.


"He'll have decisions to make when that comes around, but one thing I think about him is he is happy and enjoying his football.

"Hopefully, as a young man, he is not too much of a rush to get somewhere he may get to eventually if he keeps doing what he's doing."

Maja will miss tonight's Checkatrade Trophy clash with Carlisle with an ankle injury but is expected to be fit to return to the side for the trip to Shrewsbury later this month.



This was what I said two years years ago after what I saw but guess what, I was called tribalist because of him. grin They called him Majek fashek. grin grin grin

No bi today the thing don start. When I see something good I go talk. grin

Many people here just lack foresight. They see your analyses or recommendation as tribal sentiments.

Kai we still dey scout for #9? A top class #9 cannot he hiding now. They should be painting whatever league they play with goals. They should be stand out players. Truth is if you remove Ighalo and KC, we will have to fall back to familiar names, Kayode, Ujah, Nwakaeme, Odey? and a few others. If you have to comb every backwater league searching for a #9, it means that player does not deserve a look in, in the first place. Anyone calling for dropping both players, should be able to suggest replacements from the top of their heads.

My take, Ighalo and KC are the most consistent goal scorers in the higher leagues. We have no option but to be patient with them until Kayode and co start to score consistently.


Are you saying Bundesliga and Ukrainian league are blackwater leagues?

Have you forgotten that we have strikers in the Belgium pro league too?

Please make we just move on. We tried but the English media and FA caught us out and we missed out. It is all history now. Thanks goodness the likes of Osimhen and Awoniyi are still being groomed in Belgium as part of our future in the attack dept. Add that to Success at Watford. We cannot get all the foreign-borns but we go try at least.
Just that I feel we should try a little harder especially as regards talents like Eze. And I hope we have not gotten cold on Lookman. Ejaria too. Pinnick and his aides hinted that they are working seriously behind the scenes to lure two English-born Nigerians to the Super Eagles. I think they are keeping it low because of what happened in the Tammy saga. Time will tell.

Well that is because at the time we had no desperate need for them. We were talking of building ahead for the WC qualifiers as at then and you were still going about just clamouring up and down for lads that were not ready.

Josh Maja is better equipped now than he was in 2016. And that is why I also gave him a good mention from 2017. And even right now in 2018, he is on track but I still maintain that it will be hard to give him am invite in the light of the abundant attacking options in the team and the rise of other talents and even the fringe players who we haven't even been given enough chances. Would you give a rookie, Josh Maja a chance first before a Fringe player in Kayode? Answer that one.

What was a 17 years old Josh Maja playing in 2016 that you were calling for his "immediate" inclusion in the Super Eagles team? He was no where near being ready. That post was way way off the mark.

Even now he is not better than any of our strikers in the team. I can only recommend him for the U23. The call for his Capping is just to secure him for the future just in case he turns out good.

There is no sin in capping him and if he impresses then he must be retained. I don't care about Kayode. I just care players should be given equal chances to prove themselves but if they fumble, off they go. Simple.

He is not the only future prospect and he is not the most outstanding among the future prospects. Even Taiwo Awoniyi is yet to smell the camp of the national team after a very solid season at ZW in Belgium last season and have started this season quite decently at least.
Ebere Eze nko... You saw that article I posted from Colin Udoh. They mentioned Ebere (who they have made harder to get now), Billing and even Ejaria. And I strongly believe the midfield is where we need to channel more of our attention to especially the CAM role. Not the attack. We are stocked in the attack. Even the Isaac Success that was called up is just 22. He is also the future. We still have Osimhen who is 19 and having a fine start to life in the Belgium topflight... Awoniyi is also there and is 21. So Josh Maja is not and never the only prospect we have in attack. He is not even better than what we have in the Super Eagles.

Any one of our strikers/forwards can go to league one and tear things up with aplomb... Ighalo will do it. Nacho will definitely do much more. Onyekuru was born for goals..he will paint League one like red fire paint. Success will burn it the ground with his beastly plays.

So you see.... It is not going to be easy. So deal with it. Josh Maja's time will hopefully come and I do hope we can cap him just to secure him but even that will have to come at a small cost. Dropping any of the Eight forwards (Ighalo, Success, Iheanacho, Iwobi, Kalu, Onyekuru, Simon Moses, Musa) and then ignoring any of the fringes in Kayode, Simy, and also ignoring our other bright prospects in Osimhen and Awoniyi. If Rohr can afford it then fine... But if he thinks or feels he cannot at this time then I don't blame him. We are loaded in attack.

It is only in midfield I know we have to act really fast because we have our weakness there in the CAM role in Mikel's absence. Let us be strategically truthful about what we really need. We must recruit in a vector manner and not act like scalars.

This is not about future prospect only it is about loosing future prospects FB to England desperate to have them all.

Is England dull to call players from championship? No but they just did.

Every country has learnt never to joke with dual citizen prospect. That is the point.

Eze, Onomah, Ejara, Billing, Maja, Lookman, Sheyi, or any Nigerian perceived to be a huge talent should be approached and capped once and for all.


Eze and Maja are the easiest because they don't necessarily need paper work to play for Nigeria. Simple

It is only in midfield I know we have to act really fast because we have our weakness there in the CAM role in Mikel's absence. Let us be strategically truthful about what we really need. We must recruit in a vector manner and not act like scalars.

And the answer is Crystal clear. As at 2016, both players were not close to being ready for the war of the World cup Qualifiers which we were to execute in Africa's Group of death.

We badly needed a return to an international tournament after missing out on two Afcons and you were clamoring for rookies and neonates who had done nothing at the time to come bolster our attack??!! Think man.... Think!!! Haba!
Cameroun would have had us for dinner and Algeria would have raped us.

That was why I reeled out the other neonates in 2016 like Ogo Obi, Adarabioyo and others for you too, to clamour for because back then you no dey hear word about focusing on the players that will get the job done and have the requisite experience instead of flying with rookies with baby potential.




forgiveness:


That question is left for the opposition to answer?

It's not about calling random names, it's about the ability to spot one among a million.

TheSuperNerd:
He is not the only future prospect and he is not the most outstanding among the future prospects. Even Taiwo Awoniyi is yet to smell the camp of the national team after a very solid season at ZW in Belgium last season and have started this season quite decently at least.
Ebere Eze nko... You saw that article I posted from Colin Udoh. They mentioned Ebere (who they have made harder to get now), Billing and even Ejaria. And I strongly believe the midfield is where we need to channel more of our attention to especially the CAM role. Not the attack. We are stocked in the attack. Even the Isaac Success that was called up is just 22. He is also the future. We still have Osimhen who is 19 and having a fine start to life in the Belgium topflight... Awoniyi is also there and is 21. So Josh Maja is not and never the only prospect we have in attack. He is not even better than what we have in the Super Eagles.

Any one of our strikers/forwards can go to league one and tear things up with aplomb... Ighalo will do it. Nacho will definitely do much more. Onyekuru was born for goals..he will paint League one like red fire paint. Success will burn it the ground with his beastly plays.

So you see.... It is not going to be easy. So deal with it. Josh Maja's time will hopefully come and I do hope we can cap him just to secure him but even that will have to come at a small cost. Dropping any of the Eight forwards (Ighalo, Success, Iheanacho, Iwobi, Kalu, Onyekuru, Simon Moses, Musa) and then ignoring any of the fringes in Kayode, Simy, and also ignoring our other bright prospects in Osimhen and Awoniyi.

Exactly! They don't know that all these calls for capping A, capping B or C for the "future" comes at a Price.

When Rohr was capping Osimhen for the future and then we lost to SA what did he do? He discarded him and went for strikers who could give him immediate result. We were 1-0 down against SA we needed to bring in another striker just to add to the striking force but unfortunately the reserve fire power we had was an uncapped inexperienced 19years old Osimhen whose major aim of being in the team was to train with the others. That is what capping a player who is not ready can do to your team. It limits your options. Rohr learnt it in a hard way. Did you see him do it again?

Rohr had to assess K. Nwakali with the Athletico and Liberia games because they were almost meaningless. Even against a lowly Seychelles Rohr did not try playing K. Nwakali, not even when we were 3-0 up!

When he was clamoring for this Josh Maja was even when we were about to commence the WCQ! You have not secured your result for today u are capping for the future . Ask Rohr how far.
