Thank God Iwobi played no part of that one.

tbaba1234:


Osimhen

maidaboi:
who will you want to replace him with, odey? Or onyekuru? Or aluko?

tbaba1234:

Odey Kini
He should be replaced by Onyekuru..

maidaboi:
our nplf top scorer now

BascoVanVeli:


When u don't know something and u act as if u know and even go as far as making up details then u r lying. I am not just some bozo who likes to hear myself talk, this is something i know for a fact. I have given u as much proof and all u say is he got injured but Efe has not had a major injury in his career. I view this thread as a place where people come to get informed and educated, it is not about who wins an arguement. I do not agree with the lenghts at which u go to not be wrong.

tbaba1234:


I know, he was at the under 23 camp and he was dropped.. Osimhen went to the under 23 tournament.

maidaboi:
who will you want to replace him with, odey? Or onyekuru? Or aluko?

TheGoodJoe:


I say Aluko because he is playing at a high level and I feel he will offer more to the team.

TheGoodJoe:


Act as what. I will be honest, you are being funny. I have asked you repeatedly, show me the place I lied and you are here saying lying and lying. Did Ambrose not injure? Your so called point of Celtic rushing Ambrose back after he AFCON, causing Ambrose error being the reason Ambrose faded did not add up.

Ambrose was quality at the World Cup. I did not call you a liar. Get it. You gave your view. I disagreed and did not say you are acting as if you know. I pointed the World Cup.

You have made post showing Ambrose was good after the AFCON so called rushing back. You contradicted yourself but still adamant at calling me a liar.

Your rush back AFCON theory is weak. Every post you have made after that disproved that point you made.

krattoss:
but on a serious note..I applaud players for professionalism.cos if I should be a player and happens to find myself in that match ..I would have fought some.of my own players in that pitch

Even the coach wouldn't ..

BascoVanVeli:


See there u go posting lies. I said he made an error after being rushed back into the lineup from the Afcon. I said Celtic fans started picking on him after that. Then i even posted an article of Efe talking about being booed by his own fans in Dublin. I gave articles to prove all this but then u say we shouldn't pay attention to articles but isn't that what this thread is about? U don't know what u are talking about and u are lying to seem relevant IMO. SHOW INJURY U NO WAN SHOW, SHOW INSTANCE OF HIM GETTING BEAT FOR PACE U NO WAN SHOW. LIES LIES LIES.

TheGoodJoe:



Definitely one of the worst behaviors I have read on this thread and honestly frightening when it comes from one of the old Bridgade members. Disappointed in you.

You can disagree without saying lies but you chose to tow in such poor behavior.

You have proved nothing. You blamed Celtic for Ambrose loss of form and posted an article Ambrose said it did not get to him. You, not me said Ambrose has faded and pinned it on Celtic. I disagreed and pinned it on his injury.

So where is the lie. You are bigger than this. Stop putting your bruised ego over a debate. You have not shown a proof of Celtic causing Ambrose to fade.

You came up with the AFCON title as the time table. It is a clear fact that it is wrong because Ambrose had a good World Cup over a year after that period.

You can keep throwing your toys out of the pram.

Orkpekyandega:

And you believe football works in that progression.

If Osimhen was picked ahead of Odey, it therefore, means he will always be ahead of Odey, even when Odey is banging in goals every now and then.

Some of your analysis on players for the past days are ........... Sir I am not understanding ooooo

BascoVanVeli:


U are not winning the arguement with that one. If it was another coach selelcting I would agree but we all know Siasia is biased.

tbaba1234:


I agree but what makes Odey so good? We have had Obaje, Gambo Muhammad etc in the past.. Very few have impressed.

tbaba1234:


Before Odey, Gambo Muhammad and Obaje were the highest scorers in the league. Obaje could not pass a trial in Spartak Moscow. Even though, our league is improving, our players are not passing trials at obscure clubs. I am not sold on the top scorers of the Nigerian league.

Osimhen trained with Wolfsburg and was given a professional contract, he is one of the three strikers in their first team list. If he did not meet the grade, he would not have been given a professional contract and named in the first team.

Our top league players are going to north Africa and failing trials in obscure leagues.

The Russian league is not an obscure league and Spartak Moscow is a big club who have a 5 point lead at the top of the table.

Orkpekyandega:

@the bolded
To you that is why he should be picked ahead of others even when his fitness is in doubt?
God we have a Country

tbaba1234:


Ok, let us say, it isn't.. It is not amongst the top leagues. The top scorer in the Nigerian League should be getting in even if not first choice. Chisom Egbuchulam, who I rated very highly ended up in Sweden and the only other option was Tunisia .

Why are clubs in top leagues, signing academy players and not going for our league players? Gbolahan Salami is also in Finland after several European misadventures.

BascoVanVeli:


But nobody has impressed at striker in years. U can't put that on NPFL strikers, even strikers in Europe have fail to live up to expectations.

NFF Technical Committee -Why Osimhen Was Preferred Ahead Of Odey By Gernot Rohr



The reason why the top scorer in the Nigeria Professional Football League Stephen Odey was left out by coach Gernot Rohr has been revealed by a member of the technical committee of the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF).


Odey who took his goal tally to seven for the season with the winning goal for MFM in their 1-0 win over Remo Stars yesterday, was the one player many expected to be included in the Eagles squad for the friendly tie against Senegal and Burkina Faso.


The exclusion of the NPFL top scorer made former Nigeria international Emmanuel Babayaro to lash out at the Super Eagles coach Gernot Rohr, insisting that the 18 year old deserve to be in the squad ahead of Wolfsburg Victor Osimhen.


However a member of the technical committee of the NFF told Owngoalnigeria.com that the exclusion of Odey was done in good faith without favoritism by the Eagles coach.


” It’s okay to criticise the list of a national team coach, but we all know that every player can’t be called up at the same time . Osimhen has been part of Rohr’s plan from the start of his reign as coach”, he told Owngoalnigeria.com.


” Odey will be given a chance by the coach in the future, for now Osimhen has the edge over him. We have to understand how Rohr works, he is a progressive, Osimhen time will come”.

Orkpekyandega:

Those players you mentioned were not as young as Odey. Most European Clubs prefer to sign players who are in their teens so as to recoup their investment. That does not mean players from the NPFL are not good. It is a matter of preference age wise and not about quality.

Stephen Odey is very young and looks promising too.

For now I rate him higher than Osimhen. I get am before no be property. Odey is the real deal Now and not Osimhen.
