Which drama?

He must be insane if he feels that way.

Rather than going back to beg for Enyeama's recall i would rather we play Alampasu.

Nonsense.

You would rather we play an Alampasu and concede so many goals than play an Enyeama Vincent who is a Jesus in goal come rain come sunshine right

You would rather we plan an Alampasu and concede so many goals than play an Enyeama Vincent who is a Jesus in goal come rain come sunshine right

He is a Jesus to his family and maybe his village in Etim-Ekpo.

I detest people who are too proud.

Oga how is V. Enyeama proud?

That he refused to swallow the gabbage that Sunday Oliseh was throwing at him or what?

I believe you've heard of a certain Gianluigi Donnarumma...

I think Sir Icon4s refer to your statement about Vincent "enjoying this show".

If actually he is, then Sir Icons is right..... HE SHOULD GO TO HELL!!!!!!!!

...........

But if he isn't (which I hope is the scenario) then Vincent is still okay.

AF Nigeria ABSA Premiership 2016/17 Cameroon
Daniel Akpeyi gets late Eagles call-up to replace Ikeme
South Africa-based goalkeeper Daniel Akpeyi has been handed a late call-up by Nigeria following injury to No.1 choice Carl Ikeme.


Former youth international Akpeyi is a direct replacement for Super Eagles number one, Carl Ikeme, whose English club Wolverhampton Wanderers wrote to the Nigeria Football Federation that he would be unavailable as a result of injury.


In March, he also deputised for Ikeme in Egypt, when he was not available due to a stomach complaint.


Akpeyi, who stars for Chippa United, was in the Nigeria U20 squad that finished as runners –up at the 2005 FIFA U20 World Cup in the Netherlands, and was also in the bronze –winning U23 team at the Men’s Olympic Football Tournament in Brazil in August this year.


The Super Eagles take on the Fennecs of Algeria in Uyo on Saturday, 12th November, in a Matchday 2 clash of the African race for the 2018 FIFA World Cup.

AF Nigeria ABSA Premiership 2016/17 Chippa United
Eagles trainer charges Ikeme's replacement to rise to occasion

Goalkeeper Ikechukwu Ezenwa

Eagles goalkeepers’ trainer Alloy Agu has said he expects whoever is picked as replacement for injured Carl Ikeme to step up and justify his selection in a World Cup qualifier against Algeria.


FC IfeanyiUbah shot stopper Ikechukwu Ezenwa and Portugal-based Dele Alampasu are the other goalkeepers on the squad for the World Cup qualifier in Uyo.


Likely late additions would be Olympic team goalkeeper Emmanuel Daniel and Daniel Akpeyi from South African club Chippa United.


“It's time for other goalkeepers to now prove their invitation to the national team on several occasions is not a fluke,” charged Agu, who was the Super Eagles goalkeeper and captain for several years.


"It's really a sad news to me personally and the entire technical crew.


“It shouldn't have been this time when we have a crucial world cup qualifier.”


"The replacement for Carl will be announced within a short while.”

The dude that broke into AC Milan at 16 or so. He is the youngest Goalkeeper to ever man the goal post.

Abeg no ask that kain question of whether Alampasu is up to him, make e no provoke me. I hate it when we underrate players we don't give a chance only to praise those someone else took a risk on....the difference between Donna and Alamps is opportunity right now


And why are they inviting Akpeyi? Whose idea was that?

How good was Donnarumma when he started?

Do you also know how old Buffon was when he started manning the goal?

FIFA activates Nigeria’s Domestic Transfer
Matching System, first in Africa



The Nigeria Football Federation has become the
first governing body of the game in the African
continent to be enlisted on the Premium Services of the world –governing body, FIFA DTMS (Domestic Transfer Matching System) and
Intermediary Regulations Tool.


“We are the only African country with these
services activated and by December 2016 (next
month), we will be on the FIFA Connect that will
place us among the elite FIFA Member
Associations with all the Premium Services
activated,” NFF’s Club Licensing Manager, Nasiru Jibril announced in Abuja.



A screenshot of the Nigeria home page on the
FIFA website shows the two services (Domestic
Transfer Matching System and Intermediary
Regulations Tool) ticked in green, with the last
one (FIFA Connect) to be done next month to
make Nigeria activated in all Premium Services.


Jibril also said that the TMS (Transfer Matching
System) workshop will hold 15th – 17th
November 2016 at the Transcorp Hilton Hotel,
Abuja and is mandatory for all Clubs in the Nigeria Professional Football League and the Nigeria National League.


“The Head of Legal Services at NFF, Barrister Okey Obi and myself, alongside four resource persons from FIFA TMS, will train all the Clubs in the use of the Premium Services activated in Nigeria,” stated Jibril, who is a former Nigerian
international.

Akpeyi is called up as his replacement #SoarSuperEagles.
7:01 PM - 2 Nov 2016

It seems Akpeyi's reported injury(possibly minor) is not serious at all sef for him to have been officially called up.

TheSuperNerd:

See..... The key words here are "Risk and Opportunity".

Buffon started at age 17, unless I forget. Am not too sure but it is certain he started at a young age too.

Oga you are talking about risk and opportunity? Hehehe

Remember this is not Club football where you cant just feature any goalkeeper just because he is promising.

One lose and you are out in national competitions.

I am not against Alampasu. It is good if we invite him to study other goalkeepers in camp. If possible we might feature him in a friendly match or a match not of high magnitude as the Algerian match.

What is so big about letting Vincent Enyeama understand how important he is to our World Cup Qualifiers?

He is our Jesus in goal even when he was not too impressive in his Club.

I am even surprised to see that even Sir Icon4s A.K.A Oga Experience feels it's better we field Alampasu than recalling V. Enyeama.

I know Rohr will not field Alampasu. I was jst being sarcastic.

Pls we dnt need to go begging Enyeama.

I believe Ezenwa can do it. We are playing at home and so i dnt expect d defense to be under so much pressure.

Battle of Uyo: Nigeria, Algeria suffer fresh
injury setbacks— 3rd November 2016


All is definitely not well in the camp of both the
Super Eagles and the Desert Foxes of Algeria,
ahead of the November 12 showdown in Uyo, no
thanks to injury worries.

Eagles manager, Gernot Rohr yesterday called up South Africa based goalkeeper, Daniel Akpeyi in place of first choice keeper, Carl Ikeme who has been ruled out by injury.


Algeria who on their part are still sweating over
the injury of Italy based El Arbi Hillel Soudani
yesterday announced that new kid on the block
Adam Ounas who has just pledged his
international allegiance to Algeria wont be eligible to play in Uyo.


The France based midfielder who was expected to make his debut for the Foxes in Uyo picked up an injury while in action for his club, Bordeaux.


Algeria’s new manager, Georges Leekens who on Monday released his list of foreign based players included Ounas in his 18-man squad.


According to an official statement on the FAF’s
website, the 19-year-old former France U-20
attacking midfielder suffered an ankle problem in his club’s Ligue 1 encounter with Marseille on
Sunday evening.


“The medical staff of the Algerian Football
Federation has received the medical record of
player Adam Ounas following his injury at the
Olympic meeting in Marseille – Bordeaux,” a
statement on FAF website read.


“Ounas came out in the 74th minute of the
match after feeling pain in the ankle. An injury
that could land him away for a few weeks.

“He will therefore be exempted from the training of the national team and the match Nigeria –Algeria from November 12, 2016.”

Now between Vincent Enyeama, the NFF, Coach Sunday Oliseh and so many of us who are against the idea of recalling Vincent. who is more proud?

The NFF treated this guy like an enemy.
Coach Sunday Oliseh followed suit.
We are still thinking the same way on this forum, any time his name is mention.

Oga Icon4s must tell me why he thinks the guy is too proud.

Icon4s:

Now is the right time for your clamour for experience which I bought into?


*Modified*

BascoVanVeli:

We can do that in a friendly match, not a high tempo match like the one between the Super Eagles and Algeria

Sir Icon4s was obviously being very sarcastic. He said it's better to play a young and inexperienced Alampasu than an Enyeama who is "enjoying this show". **And I agree**



As for me, I was just being open-minded..... Or didn't you see where I said in a reply to Sir BascoVanVeli, "I'm not saying Alampasu should start......"??

Look, It's very obvious Alampasu won't play in goal against Algeria BUT I'm also saying that If it comes down to that, then Alampasu is worth the risk. He was best U-17 goalie in the world in 2013. He's a super prodigy after all.

Buffon began at age 17 for Parma in a "SUPER HIGH PROFILE" game against the dreaded AC Milan that had George Weah (the same AC Milan that humbled Barca's DREAM TEAM OF THE 90s). That game ended goalless and buffon was named man of the match. 1994 was the year.

NOTE: Buffon had no prior big match experience before that game. That was his serie A debut. His only "big" experience was Japan 1993 and training with Parma's youth sides and then "some".







So this is me being as open-minded as ever on this issue. Alampasu won't keep goal... That's true and of the highest likeliness but again who we start in goal in Uyo between Ezenwa and Akpeyi is still a "risk" albeit a more manageable risk for the sake of Nigerians who may suffer heart attack for lack of faith seeing Alampasu in goal....


Life is all about risk and opportunity also... It's not everytime one is certain.

Now is the right time for your clamour for experience which I bought into?

I was personally against Oliseh's appointment of Ahmed Musa as team captain ahead of Enyeama and Mikel.

I supported Enyeama's decision to quit after that incident. However, his comments after that incident have not portayed him in good light. He became so unpatriotic and doesn't want his name mentioned in any quarters.

Yes I am an Apostle of experience. Enyeama is not the only experienced goalie we have. So i say Ezenwa and Akpeyi are experienced enough for the job. Afterall Akpeyi was in goal in the return leg of the clash with the Pharaohs. Did heaven fall that day?

Yes you're right.... BUT AGAIN..... Go tell that to Parma who fielded an inexperienced Buffon against the best side in the world then..... The Dreaded Dream Team destroyers.... AC MILAN with George Weah.

That match was "super high profile"

terzurum5:

Akpeyi is not my option, my ideal goalkeepers at the moment are Vincent Enyeama and Okechukwu Ezenwa.

How ever you and I am aware that Ezenwa has not been that active for some months now , why Enyeama is active for his club.

The NPFL is on break but the French League is not.

Am not against trying Alampasu.
Try him in a match that even if we loose we may not be pained that much.

The match against Algeria is so much important that we can't afford to try an inexperienced goalkeeper as far as national team is concerned.

Try him in a friendly match or in any of the matches where we must have qualified so that even if he flops we will not have so much regrets.

Ezenwa to me is in a better form than Akpeyi. He is also more tested.

According to probability since this never happened..... There was 50% chance of that not happening had Ikeme been in goal and 50% chance of us still losing with Ikeme.

So I can't say because it never happened. But that's me being scientifically analytical.

Truth is... Ikeme would have inspired much better confidence in our defence that day than Akpeyi... #fact

Ikeme would have possibly kept out that goal Akpeyi conceeded also from Ramadan Sobhi.

But again.... All are assumptions (albeit based on some facts and proven trust), so we can never know.

FIFA WCQ: S/EAGLES COORDINATOR IRRITATED BY EBUEHI’S SNUB

Tyrone Ebuehi....Credit: VI Images | Getty Images.

Apparently, the news of 20-year-old Tyronne
Ebuehi declining Nigeria’s invitation struck home
more than the NFF and its cohorts will want the
world to believe if the comments of the Super
Eagles Team Coordinator are anything to go by.


Patrick Pascal tried hard to play down on the ADO
Den Haag defender’s snub by stating a player the
Federation had attempted to lure – whose name
made a list of invited players for a World Cup
qualifier – wasn’t a much of a concern to the
Super Eagles.


Perhaps not the players, but the administrators
who extended the invitation and the Technical
Adviser, who was led to believe all likely loose
ends have been tied with the attempt to make
Ebuehi who is of Nigerian parentage switch
allegiance.


Pascal however made his obvious angst over the
matter show when he declared that ‘Nigeria had
many good players who could fit in the right back
position better.

He also prayed ‘he (Ebuehi) doesn’t make a
wrong decision that will regret in future.’
