I no get wetin Pinnick do wrong here oo, abeg xplain give me.

I beg you, do not make me laugh.

Abi, me, and Pinnick.

Well, I like when coaches give players the opportunity. I like seeing guys coming out of the scene and performing well.

From this report, it is clear with Eguavoen as head coach, we would have gone into an era when anybody from anywhere can break into the team and excel. His statement showed he believed in their quality.

That gives me excitement. So with Pinnick hiring a foreign coach, that kills the excitement of players getting chances to prove themselves in the National team.

TheGoodJoe:


What did you read? I said my respect for Eguavoen went up. So how is that going against the move?

Mbok, take ya time.

Subzero047:


Why did your respect for Eguavoen go up, remember I have receipts oh

TheGoodJoe:


I see he is a coach that will look into the grassroots to hunt for talents, not only flying around Europe as if that is the only place talent lies.

That impressed me about him.

Subzero047:


How does that relate to the write up you posted?

TheGoodJoe:


How does it not relate? Eguavoen wanted to give them a chance but because of how short the time is, he dropped the NPFL players. He even assured their time will come. So explain yourself.

Subzero047:


Ok how did the players miraculously leave their clubs and come to camp on short notice

TheGoodJoe:

You have not made any point in your post.

So I need to start explaining what I think you mean.

Let me try.

The news was that Eguavoen was going to make a standby list of five players. Remember it is report we read. I was in support of the idea of having home-based players in camp in case of injuries and you need to make changes. You can not use foreign base players to come and sit in camp in case of injuries.

So what is your point?

This news is about Eguavoen wanting to include home-based players in the OFFICIAL LIST.

Ok how did the players miraculously leave their clubs and come to camp on short notice

Shame no dey catch us? Anyway it's not about the graphics, but the players in it.

andrewbaba44:


Time bomb waiting to explode wey no explode ?

Ekong has been good for the eagles ,you can’t use because of his recent bad form saying he is a time bomb waiting to explode

JoyIsSweet:
Nawah o! Nwakali never enter camp

Subzero047:


What are you trying to say, weren't you the one defending the move all along?

Odunayaw:
And I de design ooo. Which kain agbo jedi designs dem been release sef

Amedino99:

As if he was waiting for me to remove him from my fpl before he can score a goal. Yeye person

safarigirl:



Wetin he for talk after choosing England?

England got to the finals of the Euros, what now happened? Dem win am?

What does England getting to Euros finals have to do with foreign borns turning down Nigeria? Abi na finals of continental competition Nigeria never reach before?

Akanji no dey Switzerland? Why you no quote am too, as example of foreign born that went to another country? Why you also never quote Tammy Abraham or Tomori? Or are they not also foreign borns that turned down Nigeria?

Wetin come concern us with Saka and England in Euros finals?

Joebie:
i tire for them.. and u go surprise the kind money dem pay put

jihday:
what do you expect him to say? Even Iwobi or Aina will never express regret for choosing us over England

fabyom:
That should be the questions NFF should have asked him not otherwise. To provide solutions to those questions is part of his job. He should just tell us that the pay wasn't up to what he is getting now. He should stop capping!

Strugglingman:
bros if we see truth make we talk abeg
ekong has always been shaky for the SE , i cant even remember wen last he had a good game self
Even when the oyibo wall was at their peak , he was always the weaker link

Definitely not SE material .

TheGoodJoe:
My respect for Eguavoen just went up.

Eguavoen explains why he shelved the plan for seven NPFL non-roster invitees to train with Eagles

Nigeria's caretaker manager Augustine Eguavoen has explained why he shelved the plan for seven Nigeria Professional Football League non-roster invitees to train with the national team in Abuja ahead of the Africa Cup of Nations.

The Super Eagles legend was in touch with players from Enugu Rangers, Kwara United, Kano Pillars and Rivers United among others, only for him to jettison the idea on second thought.

Eguavoen stressed that it made no sense for the seven domestic-based players to train with the team as their clubs have key matches in the Nigeria Professional Football League.

None of the NPFL stars stood a chance of being included in the traveling squad to Cameroon this week simply because their names were not on the provisional roster submitted to the Confederation of African Football.

"I still have their names, about seven home based players I wanted to be in the midst, train and then see what happens but my hands were so tied that the league only started on the 19th of December," Eguavoen said to NFF TV.

"I know players have to play in their teams, no time to play any friendly games.

"I had to reach out to Tope (Olusesi) from Rangers, (Musa) Afeez from Kwara United, Uche (Onwuansanya) from Rivers United, couple of players but we have to submit a list, so there is no time to actually give them that opportunity to play friendly games but hopefully they will also still have a chance.

"But it really doesn't make sense to bring them now, deny them from playing for their clubsides midweek, weekend, and then we are on the plane to Cameroon, and to go back home. It doesn't really make sense but their chance will come".

Enyimba's John Noble is the only home-based player included in Nigeria's 28-man squad list for the Africa Cup of Nations and definitely starts the tournament as the fourth choice in the pecking order of goalkeepers.

This Pinnick is a f### man. See excitement he is trying to spoil. Ride on Chief.

andrewbaba44:


Nigerians are disgracing themselves

They should continue since some of them are jobless

Dennis Dey one side Dey enjoy and doesn’t give a fvck

Maybe if osimhen play seria A game during afcon they will transfer their joblessness to Napoli

JohnBullMySon:
Keep quiet. Na so politician go collect your land still you go free am dey laugh.

Whether Nigeria sent a letter on time or not, what Watford is doing is very shady and disrespectful. As if they are the only ones who have something at stake. Countries too want to win AFCON. Hope you know that they would have done the same with Ekong if he had been consistent this season?

Samueltemi337:

jihday:
he’s actually saying that idea is a good one.

charlesemeka85:
nwakali na to sit down for bench look and make up numbers

But anything is possible with a local coach in charge and I won’t be surprised even seeing him start ahead of aribo,iwobi or Onyeka
