Manu what? Are you joking?

Eartquake1:


We have 23 Nigerian players in Brazil

Focus on them

darkelf:


The only reason I don't want Many as Super Eagles coach is corruption and other criminal activities that seem to be inherent in all Local coaches. Apart from that, he seems better tactically and technically than Rohr and his assistants.

darkelf:


That doesn't mean we can't appraise other players as well

Brazil are the favorites to win the U-17 WC and they most likely will

Eartquake1:


They're not our players

Ask the person he can name 2 of our own players, we don't value what we have

tbaba1234:


They have Nigerian heritage, nothing wrong in mentioning them. They are potentially super eagles players in the future.

Other countries monitor their players playing for other countries. For instance Zelalem played for Germany under 17 but US under 20/23.

There are 3 other Nigerian heritage players. 2 in the US team, 1 in the French team.

Bello and Odunze-USA
Akinjogunla-France

ManBeast:
There is a Japanese U17 boy, he's name is Joel Chima Fujita.

I think he's of Nigerian descent, you guys should look it up.

They trashed Netherlands youngys 3 - 0 earlier this morning.

There's one Nigerian in the France squad to the Brazil 2019 U17 World Cup Temitope Akinjogunla of Toulouse.....Anyone knows him?

Eartquake1:


In other news Nigeria is waiting for other countries to develop these talents for them to poach

If these kids wanted to play for Nigeria, they'll be playing for Nigeria

tbaba1234:


Did Germany develop Zalelem for the USA? Did Spain develop Messi for Argentina? Messi was developed in Spain and could have played for Spain, he has spanish citizenship.

Let Nigeria try to get the best talent possible.

Eartquake1:


Messi didn't play for the Spanish underaged teams, if he did Spain had a legitimate right to claim him

I don't see the issue of being excited about kids of dual nationality WHO HAVE CHOSEN TO PLAY FOR OTHER COUNTRIES when we have our home grown kids

We may as well dump the underage teams and go into full time begging

tbaba1234:


He was developed in Spain. Underage teams do not develop players, clubs do.

Why did Argentina not leave him alone since Spain developed him?

Aina, Iwobi, Ekong, all played for the youth teams of other countries.

Thiaggo Motta played for Brazilian U17 and even had caps for the Brazil senior team but he changed allegiance to Italy.

Do you think Italy do not have other talents?

Even countries with better facilities and structures look for better players regardless of who they have played for.

Who are we raising shoulders for as Nigerians with our poor football structures?

Eartquake1:


So the summary of your write up is that you don't believe in the 23 homegrown and foreign born kids who have CHOSEN to represent Nigeria

That somehow the one odd kid who has CHOSEN to represent another country will be better than them?

tbaba1234:


I believe in getting the best players for Nigeria home or abroad even if they have youth caps for another country. If they can improve our team, go for them.

Keeping tabs on Nigerian heritage players is part of identifying those who can represent us in the future. That includes Nigerians playing for other countries now.

Humility017 will start to clamor for his invitation to the SE because there's a 'fujita' in his name

charlesemeka85:
na pride wey dem no get dey worry,deceive and blind them always. anyone that wishes our football well will never be against the inclusion of lads raised,groomed and nurtured in top football academies in europe.

getting talented kids from both end (home and abroad) will only equip our teams with numerous talented kids which will come together to form a strong snr team that can compete with the very best in world football in the nearest future.

i am open to having a mixture of talents from both end but a place in our various teams must be on merit.

Eartquake1:


Dude you're judging from one U17 match?

Eartquake1:
Hope you know that our begging process has resulted to 0 result, 0!

Iwobi, Aina had no choice and the host of Ekong, Balogun and Ajayi had no chance with England and Germany

If we could have gotten those players without begging then why are we?

andrew444:




Lol so because Henderson equalize means he is class ?

80 percent of Liverpool fans knows Henderson is not that good

I think you are a sincere person but now I know you are not ,I can now say you are just against naija players

Take a look at you defending mediocrity

Smh

darkelf:


I agree with you on this. In fact, I don't think we should be visiting any foreign born to convince him to play for us. England doesn't do that yet these players are killing themselves to play for England (notwithstanding the economy difference between us and them).

If you want to rep Naija, you won't need too much prodding. I'm tired of small boys using us to increase their clout on social media.

Eartquake1:


How many players have we gotten through begging, Eze? Tomori? Abraham? Billing? Dele Alli?

Commonsense should tell you that you can't attract any players if your procedures is not attractive

These guys make their choice from childhood, no amount of red carpet rolling or visitations will change their mind

We can only tidy our processes and make ourselves more attractive
