I think Nff and the super eagles handlers goofed big time by inviting Tyrone Ebuechi without running proper background checks to know if the lad had any interest turning out for the eagles. I feel ashamed that a huge country as big as Nigeria is getting turned down by a 20yr old kid publicly. Does it mean the nff never spoke to him or his parents about a call up? Can someone please explain this fvck up?! This is exactly the reason I always call for a proper re organisation of the Npfl. If our league was formidable enough, we wouldn't be exposed to such ridicule by these foreign born machineries. For what it's worth, this Tyrone guy I make bold to say is not more talented than Chidiebere Okoli (Marcelo) the Rangers full back. Anyone who has seen Chidiebere play, please feel free to come online and tell me you have been disappointed whenever you have watched him play.. To Tyrone, I hope you enjoy your stint with the Dutch side. Its a pity you chose to dump a team with an upward trajectory for another who has stagnated with no exciting prospects in the saddle. Since Van de Vart, Sneijder, Van persie and Robben generation. Netherlands have yet to produce a single super star or a prospect to reckon with. With Nigeria, you will have played alongside Iheanacho, Success, Moses, Iwobi and the likes,but instead you choose to play with Jessen, Depay, Bruno Martins Indi and the likes... I wish you good luck. 1 Like |

Is he even better than Nura Abdullahi and John Lazarus? Nobody even expects him to have a starting shirt against Algeria sef. GoodLuck to him.

goldfish80: He can still play for us but we have to respect his decision, the only other thing would be to force him into making a choice by getting fifa involved but i think the best thing is to act like this never happened and blame the list on newspapers. Still imagine if he had come and flopped, it is a good thing that he himself is saying he is not ready for such a challenge. |
Re: "The Super Eagles Thread: The Road To AFCON 2025 And 2026 World Cup by goldfish80(m): 10:57pm On Oct 31, 2016 |
Icon4s:I have my doubts he's better than some of the names you listed. Musa Muhammed is a world class full back in the making. He was the top scorer at the AYC not so long ago, playing RB. If he finds consistency at a proper football club,Tyrone cannot hold a candle in front of him. I will always advocate for local talents and the development of the npfl. I hope we make meaningful gains with the foreign investors willing to fund the league with upwards of $1b+... I will struggle to name players who have rejected Nigeria and became world class, Alaba being the exception. Hence, there are more chances he will likely become another Onuoha and Owomoyela than Alaba. 1 Like |

goldfish80:bro, you're taking this far more personal than it actually is. At least the kid had the decency to say he isn't ready, unlike Success that came up with an emergency injury. I didn't see you write an epistle then Don't know why y'all are acting like scorned women at his rejection, assuming things that may be false. Have some superiority complex for once and stop assuming every foreign based player rejected you cuz they want the fancy, foreign country to field them. It sounds pathetic. Hey, maybe he rejected us cuz after he saw our rising stars, he realised he's not quite at that level and decided to stay away to avoid embarrasment.... How about that perspective for once? |

safarigirl:It's nice to have a female perspective on a male dominated thread. However, in this case we have to be frank with ourselves. A lot of players were way younger than Tyrone when they made their debut. He has over 20 appearances for his club, a number Iwobi wasn't even close to getting when his father brought him to SE camp. When Success turned out for Watford the following week after the game against Zambia, I called him out on this thread. I figured he was trying to be another Babayaro who dodged away games for the SE. Even if he wasn't ready, courtesy demands he came to Nigeria with his parents and train with the team,with an agreement he will play no role in the game with the TA. That's how things are done. 1 Like |

tglobal:God bless u my man,it is left for Rohr to decide who to captain Eagles if eventually great Enyeama is given a recall,though seniority always play a major role but sometimes coach don't see it that way Olishe was part of d golden generation and he doesn't see it as seniority issue and made Musa d captain,i personally frown at it coz Enyeama was still in d camp but he had his way. Due to this humiliation Enyeama announced his retirement and Musa was made skippo despite Mikel presence and when siasia came in he made Mikel d captain.When Rohr was announced as d coach,he said Mikel is d captain I remembered during Maroc 88 Afcon qualifier Andrew Use was appointed as d team captain at d expense of Keshi and nothing happened,also 1984 afcon young Stephen Keshi was appointed as d captain at d expense of Muda Lawal.The same scenario played itself at maroc 88 Rufai at d expense of Henry Nwosu.Olishe at d expense of finidi at 2002 Afcon My point is this a coach decides whether seniority or not,d recall of Enyeama does not give him license to d captain band It is left for Rohr to decide who to lead eagles,so there is no need for us to assume for him.Honestly i was of d thought that it should be seniority but here in Nairaland a guy told me NO it's d coach that decides |

The Ebuehi's case is simple. His heart is not with the Super Eagles. No need for him considering his future with us. Let him focus in his career while we search for those who are proud and find it an honor to play for us. We need the likes of Balogun, Iwobi and Ekong who will put us first. There are good talents here too who can push us. Pinnick and co. should stop trying to convince players to choose us. That is no what we need. We need those eager to wear the jersey and make us proud. All these were trying to convince is irritating me. Pinnick, please grow some pride. |
Re: "The Super Eagles Thread: The Road To AFCON 2025 And 2026 World Cup by TheGoodJoe(m): 12:32am On Nov 01, 2016 |
forgiveness: Does not change the fact that Aluko is in good form. He might not play for a top team with a fanciful badge but there is no way such quality does not deserve a call up. If we had a sure quality creative midfielder, Iheanacho would play up front. Aluko is there and he can play comfortably behind the striker. Why limit ourselves? |

Kog45:Cristiano Ronaldo once said “I actually need my haters – they have help me achieve all that I have achieved” In that context, he is being motivated to work extra hard and perform extraordinarily in the pitch in order to prove his maligners wrong, so he sees the activities of his haters as an incentive, not as a stumbling block. The role of haters and unrelenting critics are significant in our lives. Jesus was made to go through those appalling and heinous belligerencies by his haters and adversaries in order to fulfil his earthly destiny. Joseph attained success when he became the Prime Minister of Egypt via the contributions of his Brothers that hated him. Christians are sometimes or have been motivated in the past to pray(obeying God's word) because they need or needed God's intervention and emancipation from their challenges. And this is why some people spend about 70% of praying time and efforts on an offensive and a solace seeking kind of prayer. The Mikel that we expect to see against the Algerians is the Mikel that is motivated to “give it all” that day, the Mikel that wants to prove haters, traducers, skeptics and Conte wrong, so such efforts will improve his play which will be good for us that day 3 Likes |

forgiveness:Aluko has been unfortunate in his career not to have worked with a good coach. All through his career he has had to work with below average managers like Steve Bruce, Phil Brown, Alex macliesh and watered down guys like that in the lower leagues and Scotland. If he had been fortunate to work with an Arsene Wenger, Pochetino, Conte or even Guardiola his game would have been far from his current level. Personally, I see him making a great attacking left back with his skill set and education. His ability to get away from markers, his passing, speed and crossing can prove vital as a Morden left back. All he needs is conditioning and proper coaching and you're looking at a left back bomber like Marcelo. Unfortunately, guys like Phil Brown are more interested in their sun tanning creams than thinking out of the box in making a world class player. 1 Like 2 Shares |

safarigirl:Alaba snr actually brought David to the national team U17 camp and he trained with the team before the coach judged him to be too small to make his team. All am saying is that Tyrone should have honoured the call and trained with the team. His minders can reach an agreement with the TA that he's not ready to play a role in the game. He was sent an invitation with the federal Republic stamp and coat of arm on it. He should have honored the call and probably stayed away from the game since he is not ready. That is if he was interested in representing Nigeria. |

TheGoodJoe:So you are indirectly saying that you will be gratified and elated if Man City plays entertaining football and ends up failing to win trophies? To me, that is nauseating. The foremost/ultimate objective of any football club/national team is to win trophies.

Ndidi: Algeria Should Be Scared Of Iheanacho, Iwobi, Ighalo, Musa Super Eagles midfielder Wilfred Ndidi has declared that the team is not afraid of the intimidating credentials of the Fennecs of Algeria ahead of the 2018 World Cup qualifier in Uyo on 12 November. Ndidi has been included in the 24-man Nigeria squad for the key qualifier. While speaking exclusively to Complete Sports from his Belgium base, the KRC Genk midfielder insists that Nigeria boast quality talents as much as the Algerians and that it will be down to attitude on the day when the game kicks off. He said: "Much has been said about the fact that Algeria have Riyad Mahrez and Islam Slimani at Leicester City as well as Sofiane Feghouli in West Ham but Nigeria also have Alex Iwobi at Arsenal, Kelechi Iheanacho at Manchester City, Mikel Obi at Chelsea, Ahmed Musa at Leicester and Odion Ighalo at Watford. I think it is the Algerians who should have cause to be afraid of us, not the other way around." Ndidi, who was saw 90 minutes action for his Belgian top-flight side in their 2-0 win over Westerlo on Saturday, also revealed that though little is known about the Fennecs he has played several times against their newly appointed manager Georges Leekens from the coach's time with Belgian Pro League side Lokeren. "I knew the coach while he was at Lokeren. We beat his team 3-0 away in our game against them. Though I expect his Algerian team to be stronger than Lokeren were, I still think his formation and philosophy won't be different and I will be passing that on to the appropriate quarters," he said. The former Flying Eagles defender also spoke about the return of Portugal-based Oghenekaro Etebo and Israel-based John Ogu to the national team, a development he describes as very heartwarming. "I'm happy to see that Etebo as well as Ogu are coming back. Their qualities are undoubted and they will add to the depth of options available to the coaches. I've not been in camp with Ogu before but I was in the team that played Luxembourg with Etebo. He is very hardworking and funny. He livens up the camp with his jokes and I'm sure we'll have a nice time in camp," the former Nath Boys of Lagos player said. Nigeria face old foes Algeria at the Godswill Akpabio International Stadium Uyo on November 12. The Eagles lead the group with three points ahead of Algeria and Cameroon who are on one point each and Zambia who are pointless.

I’ve good understanding with Iheanacho, Iwobi – Ideye Olympiakos forward Brown Ideye has vowed to produce his club form for the Super Eagles in their Russia 2018 World Cup Group B qualifier against Algeria’s Desert Foxes in Uyo on November 12 and cement his place in the team permanently. The Greece-based player, who returned to the national team after three years in the international wilderness in April following his invitation by the then Eagles’ caretaker coach Salisu Yusuf for the friendly games against Mali and Luxembourg, is on coach Gernot Rohr’s 24- man list for the Algeria clash. The 28-year-old West Brom flop but Olympiacos Class Act laid a pass for Manchester City’s Kelechi Iheanacho to charge in and slot the ball past veteran Zambia goalkeeper Kennedy Mweene for Nigeria’s second in their 2-1 defeat of Chipolopolo in their opening Russia 2018 qualifier in Ndola on October 9. Ideye, who has scored six goals for the Legend in the Greece Super League in six appearances this term to help them to maintain their position at the top of the table on 18 points, says he is going to play his heart out for the Eagles in Uyo. The South Africa 2013 Africa Cup of Nations winner says he has no fear over losing his place in the Eagles, given the rising profiles of Premier League attacking duo Iheanacho and Arsenal’s Alex Iwobi in the national team. “I have a good understanding with Iheanacho and Iwobi,” the former Ukraine-based attacker said in an interview with SuperSport on Monday. “I don’t have any problem with them; I enjoy playing with them.” Ideye, who emerged as the winner of the Best Goal in the Greek topflight recently, said he was ready to play in any position in the Eagles against the Desert Foxes. The former Dynamo Kiev star said, “I’m looking forward to the game. I’m ready to play anywhere for the Eagles. I played in different positions under the late Stephen Keshi.” Ideye, who said he would try his best to score goals in the encounter, maintained the Eagles won’t disappoint against their North African opponents. He dismissed the potential threat posed by Leicester City attackers Riyad Mahrez and Islam Slimani to Nigeria’s leadership of the qualifying group, saying the three-time African champions would stop them. The former France-based striker said, “We know that they have good players but we’ll do everything to beat them.We also have good players.” Source: http://punchng.com/ive-good-understanding-iheanacho-iwobi-ideye/ 2 Likes |
