The hype is not coming from us here in naija, it is coming from Spain. We didn't name him Samu they did. We didn't call him one of the brightest talents in La Liga, they did. So if u have a problem with that take it up with the folks at the best league in the world. I would think they know a thing or two about talent over there.

Danielnino00:


Good for him.. He looks quite young too..
BTW,I think there's a Nigerian that has a stake in Feirense ...

TheSuperNerd:
Yeah.. I know. Kunle Soname is his name. He is the owner/president of Remo Stars and has major stakes in Feirense. But still... It is something to have a look at.

And yeah, the lad is said to have taken part in an international U-17 tournament in SA in Gauteng last year for the NPFL U-17 All Stars. That team also has U-20 star, Nazifi Yahaya.

TheSuperNerd:
Honestly, I laugh at some here. Is it a crime to echo the rave reviews and good reports the foreign media are making about our rising young stars? Nacho may be in poor form now but his talent is undoubtedly huge having taken Europe by storm as an 18-19 yrs old. He just needs to keep working as every young player must go through some bad patch. Iwobi had that last season too but so far this season he has stepped up his game for the most parts.

Chukwueze is young and in his first pro season in Europe and La Liga. If Guillem Balague (top and highly respected Spanish football expert), UEL media, La Liga media and the rest of the world media agree that he got beastly talents and can become a great then I see no reason why we should shut up about it because someone here wants to water down the boy's talents while he emphasizes the exploits of some kid in a farmers' league like League 1. Funny.

Loool for real. Lookman is the only one I'm bothered about.

Agreed.

Why is a young player invited to the SE after just 2 games in LA Liga, its essentially we just don't have many true promising young talents in top leagues anymore. I can totally understand the euphoric adoration he gets but i stand on the side of optimistic caution. i.e. small, small lets not force him to run when he has just started walking.

But is there not some double standard, why have Ebere and Josh Maja not been invited to the SE.

Fact is I no blame those who feel we dont have quality in the current team. The person I blame is Gernot Rohr. Yoruba pple say to tie headgear is nothing compared to looking gud after tying the headgear. In other words the gaffer has array of talents but doesnt know what to do with them. All things being equal, where no there are no sentimental picks or invites or my boys syndrome, give these same set of players to Siasia or Sunday Oliseh or Amuneke and see beta attacking flair. I stand by this argument anyday anytime anywhere. The clown we have presently as a coach got away with so much that if a local coach try am, he himself know say im be goner!

When a coach will be deploying players fit for a position in another position and using it to rate those players so they can look bad. Abi na the substitutions (if at all he makes) wen no make sense we wan talk about

Westerhof káre láyé!

BascoVanVeli:
Godwin Obaje moves to Plateau United. They already picked up Bernard Ovoke, Sikiru Olatunbosun and Gabriel Wassa. Next season is going to be very tough if it ever gets on the way.

gamaliel9:



Plateau played fine football last two years....the way they crashed out surprised me....but all these guys you mentioned...they have been here for long...is this not recycling? I think we need fresh legs and faces....Plateau should have an u17 team to nurture them into main team

but the moment they saw he was a fraud they kicked him out, reason why they didn't make his loan deal permanent

Joebie:
One player plays against the likes of Barca, the other slugs it out against clubs line Wimbledon. It’s not always about longevity, but instant impact in a very high level.

However, Ebere’s call was long overdue, considering our lack of personnel in the AM position.

kennysville:
Abeg all these noises about the foreign born wey sombori no let us rest on top. Why not kukuma invite all players of English descent make we flush out all the current players wen we get. At least then we go rest from all these hooplah of marginalisation of english borns.
Just for curiousity sake, just how good are these much touted English borns abeg? Football doesnt revolve around england. If it did, they would be slaying in every competition. But alas its not so. If na brazil we dey talk, i for understand. But England? Haba.

The EPL is the most international league in the world and the most competitive.

That doesn't really impact on how the national team plays or selects it's players. Most top teams in the EPL struggle to have more than 4/5 English players at any one time in the team. That's unlike any other league in Europe.

The grass is always greener on the other side. Its easy to criticize but you have no clue what goes in behind the scenes. Siasia, Oliseh and Amuneke you mentioned. If they were in charge, we would be hearing about salary not been paid for 4 months, a Cook and a driver with a house stipulated in their contract not been honored. When has Rohr ever complained? Players are injured, Rohr is monitoring their progress and even sends a fitness trainer to help them back in shape. Would any of the above mentioned 3 do that? Why did Anichebe stop playing for Nigeria? He was injured on national duty and nobody gave a damn how he recovered. And who was in charge then? Siasia. Rohr dey work give him his due.

Hmmmm.... so in all i wrote, i mentioned complaints by our local coaches? And if i may ask, who is responsible for paying these coaches again? Ah yes... the same NFF that hired a white man Its obvious you didnt get the context in which i was speaking.

Afcon is almost here. If what i am saying is too difficult to come to terms with, we will all see. And if I am also wrong, we will also see.

Let me tell you something about lower league football.

You can call it carpenter football or farmers football, it's not very technical but it is fast, brutally physical and intense.

It's very very very hard for a player to play on the deck, technical and skilful football in that league. You will get kicked and dragged and bullied. The referees are not that good and the pitches are not the best. In addition your team mates often want the ball in the air not on the deck.

However, if you can still be a stand out technically proficient and skilful player under those circumstances. I can assure you, when you get to the EPL you will be flying.

That's why Dele Alli could leave MK Dons and straight to first team for Tottenham and same season England senior team. I can give numerous examples.

Joebie:
Southgate (I mean the actual one) should be farming on the league one then — consistently. Why wait till they make the mark in the EPL?
