Mickael2: I get your point. The thing about this thing is that, when a player plays a particular role for a while, they get used to the pressure that comes with it. Nacho as a young teen was exceptional with the pressure that comes with the attack midfield role. When the Cityzens coaches switched him, I did not watch him play in his training games but he will have difficulties adjusting. That is the point. Difficulty adjusting does not mean he would not play well in the role. Look at CR7 at the Euros. The more he adjusts to the lead role up front, the deadlier he becomes. Aguero would struggle to adjust as a creative midfielder as he was during his Atletico and Independiente days. Today he plays upfront but it does not mean he can not adjust. Putting Nacho upfront might not bring an immediate attacking spark as he does as a Support striker. With time, he would adjust. I get your point but what I am pointing out is that players like Nacho, Aguero, Suarez, Neymar, Mess, CR7, De Bruyne can adjust to play any where within the creative attack, WF, SS and Striker roles. 1 Like |

chrisooblog: The list was not arrange according to their department. Besides, why would they included Mikel, Ighalo and Kelechi that are not certain that they will make it to the tourney due to their commitment to their club? Isaac success is not there, Siasia Bleep up 1 Like |

TheGoodJoe: yes we can agree on this. My point is based on his CURRENT position but ofcourse he can adjust but he can't just come to Nigeria during a FIFA break and start adjusting, the adjustment should start from his club so let's just use him as a deadly SS for the future but I do agree with your points though 1 Like |

chrisooblog:So Godwin Obaje, Chisom Chikatara, Fred Sunday, Olarewanju Kayode, Fred Sunday, Isaac Success, Abduljaleel Ajagun etc are not in this list. How come Godwin Saviour and Taiwo Awoniyi got on the list and someone would want me to believe that most Nigerian Coaches are not corrupt? I rather believe that most of them are fanatically corrupt and die than to believe they are not corrupt and live |

Mickael2: If Nacho plays CF, in a full season for Manchester City, his stats will amaze you. He is actually trained as a top striker, not a SS. He plays the SS role because of Aguero. He excels in the SS role because he is one of the most gifted players in the game. His goal stats is not a fluke. If Iheanacho could not play as a Top striker, Pellegrini would never let Dzeko go. That is what your missing. Same goes to the AMF role. 1 Like |

Mickael2: I get you. Your talking with respect to this competition. I agree with you on that. They can adjust but it is better to play each player in their familiar and regular club roles. |

Sorry to burst your bubbles.. I don't see Siasia clinching the trophy in Rio Olympics.. These 35 man provisional squad is bedeviled by sentiments in players invitation. Siasia had decided to give some players automatic shirts even before kicking the ball in camp.. |

There are so many rubbish players on the list that it might be best not to comment. We are going to the Olympics with the prolific strikeforce of Awoniyi and junior ajayi. |

Mickael2: If Iheanacho could not play as a striker, Pellegrini will not let Dzeko go. Milner at one time played up front. De Bruyne played upfront last season. Creative players can play different roles. If Aguero, Dzeko and Negredo injured and Jovetic was fit. Jovetic will play as the top striker. It is like saying why would Mancini decide to play Aguero as a striker when he is generally an Attacking Midfielder. |

forgiveness:We all want one player or d other to be in d team. But come to think of it, Ajagun is an AMF but Mikel Agu is a DMF so one cannot sub one for the other. Olaitan didn't do himself a lot of favour. He wasn't consistent in his loan deal both in Holland & Belgium. Besides who will they bench in d attacking third.  |

comodo: thank you mr brother. I saw people saying that we should drop Ndifreke for Isaac Success and stuffs like that, one position for another. My only regret in that team is the exclusion of Isaac Success but considering the fact that he is moving to a new club and that means he has to start the preseason too |
| Re: All The News About The Olympic Eagles (U-23) HERE! by forgiveness: 12:16am On Jun 25, 2016 |
comodo: Of course I definitely know Mikel Agu is a DMF but my question is how did he manage to make the list when I definitely know the lad only played 2 matches the whole of last season? How come? How come? To have a closer look at him? No! Because he can't tell me he does not have enough players to cover that wing on his mischievous list. The likes of Mikel Obi, Ndidi and Shehu Abdullahi are already on his list, so how can Siasi drop them for Agu? Even as at that, Why can't he extend the same to Abdul Ajagun and Olaitan who had a better season than Mikel Agu and some players on that frivolous list. Imagine Saviour Godwin who only played 38 minutes of football last season on the list ahead of Michael Olaitan and Michael Babatunde. Yiack! So, Siasia can't apply that his mischievous word "to take a closer look at" ko? As he has stylishly used to include those he made us ignorantly believed was not on his list initially but some how "to take a look at" turned the table overnight to suddenly surface on the list. Apart from Alex Iwobi who else can effectively play as a AMF on that list? Is Godwin Saviour and Awoniyi better than Michael Olaitan? Apart from Imoh Ezekiel and Simon Moses the I no see any player better than Olaitan. |

considering the bleak future of Nigerian football on the international stage after that horrendous WCQ draw, Iheanacho will do well to go for the Olympics. He won't get another chance to grace the world stage till 2019 possibly, if he misses this |

[b][size=14pt] WOLFSBURG OSIMHEN WASN’T DROPPED, CHOSE TO OPT OUT OF OLYMPIC TEAM [/size] [img]http://owngoalnigeria.com/2016/06/23/wolfsburg-osimhen-wasnt-droppedchose-to-opt-out-of-olympic-team/[/img] Contrary to reports making rounds in the Nigeria media that Wolfsburg bound forward Victor Osimhen has been dropped from the Nigerian U-23s, the striker’s representative has denied the news. According to a close source of the player, the 17 year old had a chat with coach Samson Siasia of the U-23s after which they both agreed it’s best the forward focus on the Nigeria U-20s where he is guarantee to play games than the U-23s where player power could see him seat on the bench. “Osimhen wasn’t dropped, he had a meeting with Siasia where it was agreed it’s best he stay with the U-20s, people forget so soon how he got into the team after the U-17 World Youth Championship ” He told Owngoalnigeria.com. He further confirmed the details of the forward’s deal with Wolfsburg stating clearly that the teen star won’t join the Bundesliga side in pre season training but will resume practice with them in November. “He won’t be having pre season with Wolfsburg as he will join them in November and train until he turns 18 when his professional contract will be activated”. *Rasheed Michael owngoalnigeria.com/2016/06/23/wolfsburg-osimhen-wasnt-droppedchose-to-opt-out-of-olympic-team/ [/b] 1 Like |
