Apart from the Senegal friendly, we have another against DR Congo "almost sealed".

Our Super Eagles will be busy and kept in form no doubt. Only thing is The Camerounians have the Fifa Confederations cup in June also so they will have more games than us but again, that is no guarantee of any kinda advantage for them. Coz Matchday is always matchday.....

Tega would probably say yes is he ready for Eagles I don't know.

But I think Aino (Chelsea) as a wing back is, there should be consideration for the other Tega at Tottenham in midfield. I am more impressed with Ololomola at Southampton, but saying that Solanke at Chelsea (Striker) is a good prospect too.

Ibe at Bournemouth seems to be non starter he is disengaged from the Nigerian situation.

jotey:

sorry but I don't think there is space for the Tottenham guy (onomah) and solanke in the super eagles @ the moment we can only afford to cap Abraham, aina and maybe lookman

the rest should prove themselves and wait for their time

Chelsea is strange situation one time Afcon best player Atsu has never even smelled the first team at Chelsea.

Lukaku as good as he was don't think he even started one game for Chelsea he is currently the top goal scorer in the premiership.

Rueben Loftus-Cheek would be a regular in most teams including Arsenal, Manchester United and City but he is a bench warmer at Chelsea.

If. KC Kelechi was at Chelsea he would probably be a bench warmer. If Ademola was at Chelsea he will struggle to be in the U23's.

What I am saying there is a huge pool of talent to consider the idea that because some are not regulars first team players at for instance Chelsea implies that they are unproven or not good enough is not necessarily true.

Hehehehe! Now, you are right on point.

Iheanacho In Hot Water With Man City Coach After Refusing To Sign Representation Contract




Kelechi Iheanacho has fallen out of favour with Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola, and it has been suggested by a City insider that the Nigeria international refused to sign a representation contract with one of the most
powerful agencies in the world, Pere Guardiola’s
Media Base Sports.


The Taye Academy product has been frozen out
of the Citizens squad, and has not been included on their 18-man roster for the last four matches in all competitions.


It was earlier claimed by Chidiebere Nwakali’s
camp that Pere Guardiola now looks after the
former Flying Eagles midfielder, and the Spanish agent also manages another Man City talent Brahim Díaz, who was rewarded with a new deal in September.

When asked why Iheanacho is no more getting
game time, a Manchester City staff told
allnigeriasoccer.com : “Kelechi refused to sign
a contract with Pere Guardiola, that’s why he is
out of the team. ”

Iheanacho is thought to be represented by
Gareth Bale’s agency, Stellar Group, but it is
being contested by the company that brokered
the deal that took him to Manchester City in
2014, First Eleven Management.

I have been watching Rueben since he was 16 he is quality, voted best player in the Toulon tournament.

He will definitely get into the Arsenal team for sure and you are comparing him to Elneny and Xhaka come on Oga open your korokoro well.

This guy will bring the steel and grit that Arsenal lacks in the midfield he is not slow definitely athletic, strong and technically very good.

This is the same City that bought and played the waste man Jack Rodwell. If Rueben was in City he will not be bench warmer.

komekn:
Forgiveness,

I understand your rational, we have the raw talent however I do feel some need to play in. A higher league to develop thier skill sets and realise thier full potential.

My query is that Rohr is too mainland Europe biased well actually German and Dutch.

He needs to pack his bags come to England spend a month and if he likes I'll take him round a few places and he will be pleasantly suprised.

TheSuperNerd:
I just knew you will endorse the post... Chelsea fan diehard... See am..

Ofcos he is right on point...

See your head....






PS: Honestly, I also said pages back that Chelsea na one kain club sef. Some really good players no fit just make am dia. But if any does make it at chelsea... That player is really awesome. #fact

BascoVanVeli:


Rubbish, this is just a wild guess. Iheanacho already has a case with 2 agents so adding Pep's brother would make it 3.

safarigirl:
Nigeria seemed lucky? In what way?

We played Cote d'Ivoire in the QF, we won them 2-1. Cameroon played Senegal and only defeated them via penalties

We went on to play Mali, another strong West African team, Top 5 in Africa then, I think.....we DESTROYED them 4-1. Cameroon played Ghana, wobble and fumble Ghana, and won 2-0.

We played Burkina Faso in finals and won them 1-0. Cameroon played a stronger Egypt and won them 2-1

So, how did we get lucky when we always finished our games in regular time?

Icon4s:


Rustiness?

Will Cameroun continue playing every week till the WC qualifiers in August?

We have a friendly in march and AFCON qualifiers in June just like Cameroun too. So which one bring rustiness on our own side?

My view has remained that August is 6months away. That is a very long time for a lot to have changed. What matters most is the form of the teams as at the time the games are to be played.

TheSuperNerd:
Well... Anything is possible in this agents' mafia world...

TheSuperNerd:
Watch out for "the Rock" come august and september... Against the most expensive midfielder and player of all time, HE STOOD AS A KING IN THE MIDFIELD....

Little wonder he was MOTM in a game leicester fell 0-3 to Man Utd. It's rare for a player from a team who lost 0-3 to scoop MAN OF THE MATCH AWARD, isn't it? **this is according to a few reports I got... Missed the post-match interviews. Knew he was BBC leicester MOTM, but was he overall MOTM too?** <scratches head> Anyway, point is... Ndidi in our midfield should scare the Camerounian midfield kinda... Not even to mention Lord Mikel...

Ndidi Made Pogba A Passenger In The Midfield, The Boy Is Good – Gary Neville




Manchester United legend Gary Neville has
saluted the performances of Nigerian midfielder
Wilfred Ndidi despite the 0-3 loss suffered by
Leicester City in the hands of Neville’s former club Manchester United.

Neville who was in the studio as a pundit during the course of the game, praised the Nigerian for keeping the world most expensive player Paul Pogba silent for the entire duration of the game.

Ndidi who was voted Leicester City man of the
match by the BBC made a good impression on
the former Valencia boss, who described his
performance as near perfect.

”I can’t fault his (Ndidi) performance, he was
very big in the game. He made Pogba a
passenger in the middle. The boy is good in
tackles and he is not afraid of running with the
ball either”, Neville said.

”He got Pogba booked and was fouled severally, that said I can’t remember when he fouled any opponent. He did well despite how poor his team were on the day”.

BascoVanVeli:


We all know what is going on with Nacho don't allow these clowns to fool u. We don't need to slander people just to show we have been slighted. I can guarrantee u that if there was anything to it ans would not be breaking it. The seriousness of the accusation should be considered before we give any credence to it.

Joebie:
I see no reason why Onazi starts for Super Eagles. Or a you saying Ndidi can't bench Mikel?

Joebie:
they have played 5 games more.. That's going to count in their favor. That means they are ahead preparation wise.. Let's get real. We are still in the process of tidying things up in our backline. We only have two defenders. Officiating in Africa is quite different. don't expect the referee to always blow when Cameroonian attackers out-muscle our defenders.

TheSuperNerd:
Mikel and Ndidi don't play the same role for the Super Eagles.

Icon4s:


I can categorically tell you that that does not matter.

Joebie:
Sure. Mikel plays 10 for SE. He shouldn't. He is not that creative and can't dictate the tempo of the game. He should play as a holding midfielder. OVERATED

TheSuperNerd:


I leave thee in the hands of Safarigirl and theGoodJoe....

For the bolded... I will just pretend you never quoted me or else....

Icon4s:


We took part in the 2014 WC yet Congo PR trashed us a few weeks later.

I agree with you. Match day is match day.

Joebie:
Mikel is OVERATED. Thrived in that holding midfielder role for Chelsea.. forget Holland 2005

PROVERBZ:
what do you think about Stephen odey of mfm for me he is better than most of all this German and english players with Nigerian roots we are going after

his coach already said his better than messi and christiano Ronaldo

he is one to keep an eye on for possible super eagles call up

Joebie:
Sure. Mikel plays 10 for SE. He shouldn't. He is not that creative and can't dictate the tempo of the game. He should play as a holding midfielder. OVERATED

TheSuperNerd:
Yeah... Yeah... Remind me what role Mikel played again in Ndola?

Mikel is overrated okay.... EOD. Happy now?

Now just lay it down....... I think you seek a cheap argument. Mikel is "indeed" overrated

forgiveness:


Without Rohr even going to stay in England, they NFF has a representative on ground in England whose sole responsibility is to scout and convince good players to play for the Nigerian national team. And we are also monitoring these players through the media. We know them and discuss them here regularly.

You can go through the Olympic thread and the beginning of this thread.

However, how many of them are really willing to play for their father's land?
