PurpleHouse:
Eze is hoing his "big money" move in the coming summer would help him regain England attention, and perhaps a call up. And so he doesn't want to throw that opportunity away for a super eagles call.

My take is that we should focus on Olise and leave him alone for good.

mostob:
you're right...
The begging part is Eze's
What I had with Olise is his decision to join us only of we qualify for WC and TBH, that doesn't sit well with me.
We're not gonna drop those who laboured through the qualifiers for one FBs. Are we?

PurpleHouse:


Olise is confused.

He has about 4 options. You don't expect him to make a rash decision. Put yourself in his shoes and see from his perspective. We are not begging him. We are trying to make him see why he should pick us and not the other teams. It is called diplomacy. And in this case, the one who wants it more, who produces more benefits to the player's interest, wins.

It is not begging.

Danielnino00:


Komekn once gave us assurance that Eze would play for us after he got his EPL contracted signed...Which big money move is coming for him, given that he hasn't proven anything exceptional yet?

I really blame Rohr for this Eze situation..After the world cup, it was clear that we needed reinforcement in the midfield with Iwobi and Mikel being the only available creative midfielders we had (the experiment with Etebo failed). But somehow, Rohr kept ingnoring Eze and calling up the regular midfield of Mikel, Ndidi,Etebo, Ogu and Iwobi

PurpleHouse:


Na why I say "focus".

It is not easy for the dude.

Make we do our part qualify first. His options are many. Nor be him fault. Especially when you're surrounded by people who tell you so many negative things about Nigeria.

My own is that, should we get better options who are better or in the same category as they are, make we leave them focus on the ones we get. E.g Amoo and any other.

But we nor too get options . So you see. We need then as options too.

kingphilip:

So out of the four countries he is eligible for, how many of them have the fa president and head coaches gone to make him see reasons to choose us?

If care is not taken, we've gone to him more than thrice and other countries haven't done so as much as I know.

Even at that in showing that we need him more as you said, he hasn't committed to us yet.

Should we send Pinnick 5 more times or what's your suggestion on how best we should approach him?

kingphilip:

Make we qualify first?

As in, make we use people qualify make him come occupy the person wey help us qualify spot?

How will you feel if you helped your school to a national competition from the local level and you were now sidestepped at the national level for someone else?

mostob:
guess I misquoted you ...so sorry chief

TheGoodJoe:


Who did I make an assumption of? Is it Tammy Abraham, Tosin Adarabioyo, Jordan Ibe, Nedum Onuoha, Eberechi Eze, Olise? All these have something in common. They are English. From reports, even Lookman took time to submit his transfer request letter.

The NFF should change its policy to reach out to them to play. Only players that are mentally prepared to play for us should we break ourselves for. All these traveling to beg and red carpet treatment should stop.

Let them enjoy their egos until they are ready to play. When they are ready to play, their agents can reach out to the NFF to alert them that the player is ready to play.

The NFF should have prestige.

komekn:


Irrespective of longevity in the SE your club and league performance are still a barometer for selection to any national team.

We don't know how good someboyis until given justifiable opportunity and selection. Omeruo looks slow dated and unable to cope with physicality from strong physical forward players.

In the last AFCON Ajayi seemed a lot better to me, in addition Ajayi brings aerial dominance at set pieces and in defence. What does Omeruo bring , old age , longevity ❓ He should be dropped. We need better.

Calvin is clearly better even better than Balogun.

komekn:


The difference between me and you is my narrative is not harvested from the media.

Because they are English they are as all the same don't you think that's highly ignorant.

By the way Nedum was born in Warri.

PurpleHouse:


The thing is that Eze feels he's doing us.

Na here we dey. He will come begging. But it might be too late. We won't need him anymore.

Olise case different.

His options are many so we need to be aggressive in our approach. And even please him, if need be. And yes— With the promise to the world cup.

PurpleHouse:


Algeria has made more efforts than Nigeria.

You think he doesn't know why he said he'll make his choice "after the world cup playoffs?"

TFLASHOGEE:
the thing just clear no dey go that mama place again

PurpleHouse:


It happens everyday around you.

Especially in a country where illiterate Buhari is your president.

TFLASHOGEE:
I hope people dey watch juve match see Vlahovic pure number 9 instinct

charlesemeka85:
that Cameroon Olympic made the core of the team that dominated Africa for so many years so they were no flash on the pan

andrewbaba44:


Vlahovic Na boss

A fake football fan like komekn won’t know this Serbian because he doesn’t play at the world class championship like mitrovic

kingphilip:

Can you please show me or tell me how they've made more efforts?

So he's not sure his contribution will help us get past the playoffs for him to wait till after?

We've been chasing this Olise for over a year now and you feel if we qualify that's when he'd make up his mind to play for us?

kingphilip:

I'm asking about you, how will you feel if you're sidestepped?

charlesemeka85:
my dream striker any day any time

Mujtahida:

Won Olympics, won Afcon back to back

andrewbaba44:


Juventus has steal this one ,while others will be fighting for haaland

charlesemeka85:
that Harland is too robotic to my liking. He is a good goal getter but I prefer vladhovic

PurpleHouse:


If I come marry your sister and I bring only one bag of rice, two yam, one rubber of oil, with with kekenapep.

And another nigga who dey work for oil company come with excalades and Rolls Royce and long excorts of Benz everywhere— filled with money bags and gooddies. All legit money. Shey you go tell your sister make she pause the marriage with me go rethink who she wan marry until she get sense ni?

His heart is not with Nigeria.

He doesn't give a mess about us or our future. He cares only about himself. That's how he grew up. He is not lucky to be like Iwobi who had people putting the Nigerian root and heritage into his lifestyle. Olise is not Nigerian to the core.

We need to win his heart and make him see reasons to play with us. Eze is on another shoe. Him own levels na pure shakara. Olise is being wise to make the right choice. I don't blame him anymore.

TheGoodJoe:


I did not get anything wrong. I did not say close the door to the player but keep an open door policy. Any time the player is ready, he can reach out and get into the team. Stop approaching the player to convince. The door is open for him. If he wants to enter, he is free to enter. If he does not want to, good luck to him.

PurpleHouse:


I'm among the best in my craft in Nigeria. Nobody can sidestep me.

If the others are good enough, they cannot be sidestepped. And if they were that good, we won't be talking about Olise now.
